==History==
Ninja Sex Party was founded on October 22, 2009 and was initially created by Dan, who wanted to create a comedic band and was seeking a new band member. Dan was previously a part of two bands, The Northern Hues and Skyhill and Brian was a director of a comedy group. Dan eventually met Brian through their mutual friend, Julie Katz.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L2P00TWKWCs&t Both Dan and Brian play as two characters named Danny Sexbang and Ninja Brian respectively. Danny Sexbang is a sexual and idiotic Jewish man and Ninja Brian is a silent but murderous ninja.https://www.ninjasexparty.com/about Much of the songs would be comedic and mainly theme around sex and vulgar jokes. On September 29, 2011, they released their first album titled NSFW.
On June 25, 2013, Dan would join as a host for the Game Grumps alongside Arin Hanson after its former host, Jon Jafari left as he wanted to pursue his own independent projects.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TLV5ECmLlgY&t He would go on to be the host of Game Grumps and Steam Train. Around the same time, Arin and Ninja Sex Party would collaborate together to make their own band called Starbomb.https://www.cinemablend.com/games/You-Need-Watch-Catchy-Adult-Rated-Music-Video-About-Legend-Zelda-122927.html The band would mainly be comedic songs focusing on video games.

==Controversy==
===Pedophilia allegations===
Around 2021, a fan attempted to expose Dan as a sexual predator, claiming that he had messaged her when she was 17 and 11 months old and he was in his mid-thirties before going on to sleep with and ghost her.https://www.reddit.com/r/rantgrumps/comments/m9yr2g/video_evidence_of_the_dan_accusations/ However, it was proven through screenshots that while Dan did talk to the fan when she was 17, nothing sexual or explicit was exchanged, and further proof would reveal that Dan had slept with her when she was 22, four years after they first started talking and that the sexual conversations only started when she was 22. Since then, the accuser, RyuuPastel has retracted her statements that Dan is a pedophile and a groomer, but received severe backlash.https://x.com/PurpleSnowstorm/status/1374127997159145477 
Dan would go on to issue a statement through the website, Newsweek where he apologized for the mistakes he made such as ghosting, but denied any predatory activity or intentions.https://www.newsweek.com/dan-avidan-grooming-allegations-explained-game-grumps-reddit-post-1577721 Although there have been other rumors of Dan ghosting other fans, none of them have come forward with enough concrete evidence to prove that he was doing this to other girls and that any of the messages were from him, as one of the accusers admitted to being a compulsive liar and lying about Dan. Since then, both the accuser and the subreddit r/rantgrumps have faced severe backlash and criticism, with some calling for its termination from the platform.
