Game Grumps   Origins  - Game Grumps was, and still is an Online Internet Show. They were founded in 2012 by Arin Hanson/Egoraptor and Jon Jafari/JonTron and release on the platform Youtube, which is known for it's confusing business structure and is an extremely hit-or-miss American online sharing platform.
