Unlike Game Grumps VS episodes, Ghoul Grumps episodes are still considered to be Game Grumps episodes and not their own show.

The only differences between Ghoul Grumps episodes and regular Game Grumps episodes are branding and generally the games played on the show are Halloween or scary-themed. In October 2013, Ghoul Grumps, a cosmetic change for Halloween, debuted. On June 25, 2013, it was announced that Jon would be leaving Game Grumps in order to focus on his own show JonTron, and that Arin's friend Danny from Ninja Sex Party would be serving as his replacement. In September 2012, Barry took over the role of editing Game Grumps videos from Jon. The show shares the same time slot as Game Grumps. The show is virtually the same as Game Grumps with the exception that the Game Grumps play two-player versus games.

On August 22, 2012, Game Grumps VS, a spin-off of Game Grumps, debuted. This idea evolved into both the Game Grumps channel and Let's Play series. A friend of theirs said they should make a podcast where they talk it out, and Arin came up with the name Game Grumps. Brawl and whether or not the character Wolf was a clone of Fox. The idea for Game Grumps proper came from an argument between Arin and Jon, who were having a debate about the game Super Smash Bros.
