    Good and normal podcast
    Crazy stuff
  • Ethan from the US
    A hostile listening environment
    I recommend this show to anyone who enjoys or hates video games, but if you have strong emotional ties to the BBC classic “Bag Puss” then maybe only listen to this in a place you designate as a “safe space”. Sometimes I’m scared of this show.

    Question
    Is shut up a second classic just milk? Friend and I are arguing and I said it’s just milk but he doesn’t believe me. Figured you might see this before an email. Love the show, made me super dumb. Worth 30 time and/or money.

    Long term research
    I’m using this podcast to test if Jackson can give horses brain tumors.

    JAKE THIS WAS YOU
    Leaving this 5 star review as a time capsule for myself as I start a relisten through the podcast, who knows when I will come across this again. Hopefully Dusher screams the title to snap me out of your work trance to pay attention to my own review.

    The only podcast to ever make me question reality
    This show has done more to undo all my years of education than any amount of drugs or alcohol could dream of.
  • Skrillex 2
    Weird podcast
    My dad makes me listen to this on the way to school. It makes my stomach hurt
  • Jamesdolf
    My Second favorite podcast
    This podcast is pretty good. Not as good as the weekly Planet. But better than Plumbing the Death Star (sorry Zammit)

    This was totally worth 30 seconds of money
  • RingThatCowardAlarm
    10 thumb podcast
    The only way to improve the spoiler song is to add about 5 seconds of silence to the end so we as an audience can recover

    Best video game podcast out there. Definitely worth 30 money of your time. I’m worried about Mr Ads.

    "Fun, sharp, and clever—Thumb Cramps hits the mark! Mark the hits—Cramps Thumb, clever and sharp, fun!" For some reason ChatGPT thought that was a palindrome.
  • turtle10234
    Very funny
    Microphone man is so funny I need a friend like that. This was In marvel vs capcon. I started laughing in middle of class and had to see a therapist but worth it. This show deserves your attention and listens.

    My Beautiful Video Game Boyfriends
    Hello potential listeners! This is simply the greatest, funniest and most beautiful video game podcast in recorded history. Joel and Jackson are hilarious, and their lovely guests always bring humor, information, and passion for games! Keep on gaming gamers! My name is McKenna (Mac) because I’m not a coward.
  • Mabsmash
    No other show like it
    Joel and Jackson and their effervescent guests are all hilarious and insightful in their delightful gaming reviews. The show is funny but I’m pretty sure has given me brain rot. But I’m an American so everything else has already. So keep it coming boys and thanks for all that you do. Shout out to mud! Maria Barbier
  • JuanEvie
    Joel is their leader
    Though you see no Adam for miles around you are still nevertheless in video game prison, and your jailer: your video game boyfriends. The only way out? Give it 5 thumbs.
  • Connor Elens
    Legally required to write this
    Mr. Ads broke into my room at night while I was sleeping and held me at gun point until I wrote this review
  • Akutagawa70
    Hilarious Podcast!

I’m Greg ( not a coward) I’m 54 and I’m not embarrassed to buy video games in store but its fun to listen to the stories of those who are ! keep up the good work boys! Oh yeah the “ spoiler song” is awesome! My meat rankings: steak(beef) , chicken, lamb(goat ) , ox ( oxtails yum), and fish!

    Hostile Listening Experience, Even While Asleep!
    I had a dream the hosts of this podcast invited me to a field to “see something sick” which turned out to be loads of snakes. Like the ground absolutely crawling with them. Not a coward, Donald

    ‘Next week it could be normal’
    Ending the most chaotic episode ever on this hopeful, and categorically untrue note, is brave. Emily

    Time Is Money: An actual excerpt from this amazing show
    Time is money. This takes 30 seconds. It's 30 seconds not worth- Yeah, exactly. 30 seconds, 30, 30 seconds is money, 30 money. Is Thumb Cramps not worth 30 seconds of your money? Is Thumb Cramps not worth 30 money to you? 30 money? That's too much. That's too much money. 30 seconds of money, though? That's fine. That's 0.30 money. Yeah.
  • oceansate
    Eh

  • Mikey Riden
    Possibly one of THE podcasts ever made
    I’m unsure whether or not this is some type of fever dream. Pretty sure it’s real and pretty sure it’s fantastic. But I can’t say for sure.

    This podcast is good even if you don’t play videogames
    I have been making my way through all the sans-pants shows and wasn’t excited to listen to this one cause the only video game I have ever played is Minecraft. Since starting in January I have listened to every episode and am eagerly waiting by phone every week for a new episode. It’s all the best dumb nonsense of having two video game boyfriends who rant to me about the games they play while I nod and smile but I don’t know what they are yelling about. It’s nice

    This Pod is safe for schools, please let your newborns listen to it. Send in your meat rankings, but for all that is good and holy do not operate heavy machinery while listening.
  • Shaun (not a coward)
    Seven thumbs
    Hosted by the most hostile casters of pods. I accidentally had it playing in the car one day when my wife got in. She hasn’t had sex with me in six months. At least she didn’t divorce me I guess. Now I have more time to play video games. Thanks video game boyfriends.
  • Jommy Salami
    It’s a meat byproduct
    Eggs isn’t meat. If eggs is meat; bones, hair, feathers, and nails are meat and that wouldn’t taste good.
  • General
    A gaming podcast that should be on every gamers list!!!
    Brain: Off Ears: Open Hosts: Boyfriends Guest: Effervescent Cursing: NONE Mud: Shoutout Meat: Ranked Spoiler: spoiler Spoiler SPOILERRRRRA, let’s get it spoiled in here Games: There Stars: none Thumbs: 10/5

    A podcast with a foolproof rating system
    With a great roster of mostly recurring guests, in-jokes, the indefatigable Mr. Ads, flawless spoilers, ratings, and monthly theme systems, and a completely normal email segment, I can undoubtably say you never know what each week’s show will bring. That uncertainty keeps Thumb Cramps feeling fresh far longer than other podcasts, even if after ten episodes you wonder whether Jackson even likes playing modern video games, or if he would just be happier playing 80s high score arcade games for all eternity. Seven thumbs and a knuck, fairly confident it is on the short list for being in the top three podcasts of the year, if counting down or up. Shout out to Mud, and the long lost Thumb Cramps Jr.

  • Jman729729
    I don’t understand
    This is a very good podcast with very good boys(and sometimes a girl) but they says that it will break your brain but if anything I feel my brain healing while listening to this podcast thank you boys mostly Jackson!?.!?!

    Gonsters for everyone
    Meats, Gonsters, and Turoc. What more could you want??

    Baffling Display Of Charming Idiocy vs Moments Of Useful Clarity
    100% horny aka a disconcerting celebration of vaguely mindless but inherently well meaning reviews encapsulating the true meaning of a parasocial relationship. I listened with the windows open at my new apartment and my 80yr old neighbor asked me if I had “interesting friends over last night”. Still unsure how I should have responded beyond slightly maniacal laughter and changing the subject. Thanks for that boys. Four Thumbs and a kunck more Ruby please <3

    The best bad-podcast you’ll ever listen to
    Are you sick of having thoughts in your head and a healthy mental state? Check out this podcast to smooth that wrinkled brain out and never have a coherent thought again. 10/10 podcast and 11/10 podcast when featuring Ruby Innes. Tops off for the big potato and shout out to mud.
