Sam Riegel, the only one in this friend group who isn't afraid of angry Laura Bailey, and Laura Bailey, one of the only people Sam listens to about cutting it out with his bullshit.
One of my favorite moments between Laura and Sam is when she looks at him and bursts out laughing at his mustache and Sam says “I love it when a woman I respect laughs at me for no reason”
@@octolingo1892 Campaign 2, Episode 124. Not sure about exactly when. You can look up “Laura laughs at Sams mustache” and it comes up on TH-cam at the top
@@bladethorn I like FCG. but i wish Sam would maybe do a more serious character, that i guess could still be funny at times. I feel like Scanlan was Sam's best character. And i really didn't care for Veth at all. But FCG is definitely not a bad character, but to be honest i don't even know what Sams character is gonna be next campaign. That is if they keep doing campaigns, i hope the keep doing them. The day critical role stops doing some kind of big campaign thing is gonna be so sad. The world will definitely be a lot less bright.
@@bladethorn FCG is a great character- maybe even the best character after Marisha lost Laudna's magic and Fearne not offering much anymore after an amazing start. He's certainly the most complex and has offered the most character development out of all of them, by constantly working on himself, but unfortunately Sam has nobody to really riff off of. His closest character is played by Taliesen. I like him, but he's really not good at yes, and-ing. He's too preachy and often does the opposite of yes, and-ing, especially with Sam. Laura is occupied with Laudna and the seriousness of her character. Chetney's anti-metal stance lends himself perfectly for banter but it might be they feel like they already had enough banter between the two in the last two campaigns. So he's kind of left to his own devices and everybody keeps telling him he's doing it wrong, whatever he does. Sam and Laura sitting together in campaign 2 was amazing. Sadly the magic dwindled away a bit after they separated because of covid and Laura forgot about the rapport the two had and fell back to her sarcastic retorts towards Sam when he engaged her.
I’m fond of the theory that at any given time, the table has a single brain cell to share among everyone. So when things go… amiss… for any of them… it wasn’t their turn with the brain cell…
9:54 is honestly exactly what D&D is about! That's a grown ass man going full kid in a candy store from his fictional character being told by a fictional storekeeper that he is reading the book that one of his previous fictional characters eventually published! And honestly I remember I had the exact same reaction (which adds yet another layer of fiction and imagination), especially since campaign 2 was so much less directly connected to the first one the few references that came were soo impactful! Really glad Mat loosened it up for campaign 3 tho as it's just so insanely gratifying to see the different characters again years down the line!!
If you go and watch the Cupcake clip with Laura tricking the witch, or when they vandalized the Platinum Dragon temple, Sam is truly the unsung wing man to Laura's best shenanigans.
The only cast members who Laura's character hasn't romanced in a campaign yet are Sam, Liam and Ashley. Just saying. Also one of my favorite Sam/Laura moments is C2E124 when Laura laughs suddenly at Sam's mustache, and Sam says "I love it when a woman I respect laughs at me for no reason."
I related so hard to Sam at 9:20 . Honestly it's how I want to work as a storyteller. He knew that scene's potential and didn't want anyone to interrupt it's natural flow.
@@chad8767 Fair, but I think it feels like they interact less often then laura and sam in some of the earlier episodes of c2, which makes it harder for me to latch on to their friendship/relationship
Their friendship is just so pure and genuine, it's so great to watch. I love how they're both so ready to go with whatever bit the other one comes up with even without prior planning.
So we all know Laura and Liam have the sibling energy of constantly rippin on eachother and loving. But these two have the, "single braincell shared between the two of them" energy 😂
Laura and Liam are the siblings who are super close in age so they mess around with each other, Sam seems like the baby brother that she just can’t be that mean to 😂
@@Jc-587 that's a good way to put it! Especially during his ads and he does something super crazy/messy and she always calls him 'SAMUEL' instead of 'Sam' 😂
What I really love about Critical Role is that they have a close relationship with every individual member of the cast. What I've experienced in friend groups is that there are always those who hang out together because of their mutual friends/group but who would never hang out together alone. There are always some who are closer to each other than others. But in Critical Role, all members seem to have pretty much the same level of closeness with each other (obviously there are the couples but hopefully you get what I mean).
I legit looked up the binary code for yes and Sam actually got it he takes the time to make everything so perfect is one of the reasons why he will never fail to bring a smile to may face
This isn't even close to correct. It's 121. 9 in binary is 1001. When converted into ASCII though, it is y which can be used as shorthand for yes in some older, more basic programming.
they’re actually only included because i technically uploaded this a couple months ago before cr made their stance clear, i just ended up being very slow putting the captions together so didn’t post until recently. going forward i won’t be including any clips from talks machina in compilations i make.

Laura's little 'ow' hitting her head and sam hitting his teeth will never not be amazing
3:03 because it was great.
The fact that Laura moved a fully grown man the size of Sam while he was seated is impressive, she's deceptively strong for her size.
Sam is taller than I think all of them, except maybe Travis.
@CliffSedge-nu5fv exactly my point, that ish is impressive.
To be honest Sam and Laura interactions are like 50% of the reason i watch critical role. They have the best dynamic ever.
I think that’s one of the reasons C3 hasn’t grabbed me after 10 episodes. They don’t really interact, FCG is kind of… bland?
@@bladethorn I like FCG. but i wish Sam would maybe do a more serious character, that i guess could still be funny at times. I feel like Scanlan was Sam's best character.

one of
Taliesin's looks of alternate horror, bewilderment, and amusement at the Nordverse bits are my favorite though.
They pull off the perfect "two brain cells fighting for third place" i love them
I’m fond of the theory that at any given time, the table has a single brain cell to share among everyone. So when things go… amiss… for any of them… it wasn’t their turn with the brain cell…
Oh man but the moment where she lets him feel Ronin kick was also so good!!
was that in this video?? if so I totally missed it, when did it happen?
It was extra cute because Ronin is actually his son
How Laura managed to sit there and say "Fluffernutter" with a completely straight face, is beyond me
Laura & Sam: dooloo dooloo doo loo
Matt: I'll allow it
Laura & Sam: YEAAAAAAAAAAAAH
Google translate changes dooloo dooloo to "powerful powerless" and I love it.

Having Laura, Sam, and Liam on one side of the table would be the most chaotic thing to ever occur.
Add Marrisha, and we got war zone. >XD
The Sam-Laura chaos corner was truly something special- I always watch Sam’s face to see when he looks at what Laura’s drawing
If you go and watch the Cupcake clip with Laura tricking the witch, or when they vandalized the Platinum Dragon temple, Sam is truly the unsung wing man to Laura's best shenanigans.

Auggie and Arlo almost got together tbf
"Yet" being the operative word here 😏
Minus the orgys
I remember a clip were they were pointing out just for a second Yasha having a crush on jester
@@meshis9605Well Caleb had a huge crush on Jester as well, but she hadn't romanced any of them
17 minutes and 25 seconds of straight serotonin

My boomer brain is failing me... Which scene was that?
@@borofreakthe modify memory one. With the hag
@@shai8800 Oh, right! Thanks :)
Everyone else was convinced that the hag was going to pwn her but Sam knew she was about to hack the game like the leet player she is.
I think part of the reason why I prefer the mighty nein over the other campaigns is the absolute joy and chaotic energy this duo brought to the table
Same 😊
yup same
Scanlan and Vex, Nott and Jester, FCG and Imogen.
love them all.
I counter with Chetney and Fearne, absolute chaos and I love those characters.
@@chad8767 Fair, but I think it feels like they interact less often then laura and sam in some of the earlier episodes of c2, which makes it harder for me to latch on to their friendship/relationship
the definition of "in cahoots with someone"
Their friendship is just so pure and genuine, it's so great to watch. I love how they're both so ready to go with whatever bit the other one comes up with even without prior planning.
Taliesin absolutely dying during that NordVPN bit is what I live for.
So we all know Laura and Liam have the sibling energy of constantly rippin on eachother and loving.
But these two have the, "single braincell shared between the two of them" energy 😂
It makes sense, because Liam is of course Sam's Husband. It's a polycule!
And both of them came up with brilliant plans to foil Mercer!
Jester with the dust of deliciousness!
Scanlan with the counter spell vs Vecna.
i was JUST THINKING THIS lmao so glad i'm not the only one.
Laura and Liam are the siblings who are super close in age so they mess around with each other, Sam seems like the baby brother that she just can’t be that mean to 😂
@@Jc-587 that's a good way to put it! Especially during his ads and he does something super crazy/messy and she always calls him 'SAMUEL' instead of 'Sam' 😂
The dynamic between these two is so good, in and out of character
The unbridled disaster at 3:03 will always get me 🤣🤣🤣Truly came so close to completely pissing myself the first time I saw it
Poor Matt: What is happening? Ashley does a spit take (?), and they end with a song! ❤
I love how talasin is always just the guy that’s enjoying the show
15:38 Along with all the GLORIOUS and HYSTERICAL Sam and Laura interactions, doesn't (poor) Matt look absolutely Elven in this clip. 🥰
What I really love about Critical Role is that they have a close relationship with every individual member of the cast. What I've experienced in friend groups is that there are always those who hang out together because of their mutual friends/group but who would never hang out together alone. There are always some who are closer to each other than others. But in Critical Role, all members seem to have pretty much the same level of closeness with each other (obviously there are the couples but hopefully you get what I mean).
I agree so much.
The "terrible detectives" running gag from C2 was so wonderful.
Their vpn ads are so good. I love all the hacking movie references they use. Their delivery is very impressive as well.
man I love Laura Bailey she's painfully gorgeous and has a great sense of humour, she's 1 of my fav people ever
Jester and Nott had my favorite platonic relationship of campaign 2. Equal parts hilarious and endearing.
15:30 the trio synchronised collapse at the ghosts' suggestion to eat ass😭😭😭
Tal's facial journey during the first Nordverse skit is priceless.🤣🤣
Jester is the type of character who would say "no worries, I'm good cleric....just flesh wound"
Then proceed to cast Animate Dead.
Plus all the times early Campaign 2 when Sam helped cover Laura's pregnant belly when she was keeping it private- very sweet.
campaign 4, I desperately want to see these two play a pair of criminal lovers, Bonnie and Clyde style
ohhh i wish
I wish I had enough time to rewatch the entirety of C1 and C2.
Laura and Sam have the same energy as:
*Child running with a knife*
Mom: What do you have there?
Child: A knife!
Mom: No!!!
...who is which?
@@TheDisquietingNight Both are the children and Mat is the mother I think.
@@NikozBG yup sounds about right
They've always been my favorite dynamic. They just get each other and are on the same wavelength I LUV THEM 😢
I just love their friendship so much❤
Ah yes, my two favorite chaos gremlins
I just love how the subtitles say LAURA: [slightly more intense yelling] SAM: [also yelling] XD
I legit looked up the binary code for yes and Sam actually got it he takes the time to make everything so perfect is one of the reasons why he will never fail to bring a smile to may face
Well, of course she gets along with her twin's best buddy!
*husband
Also they've known each other for a decade now ^^
@@G.F.SF55I think the twin they were referring to was Liam, not Travis.
@@TheRazCooper i think they were calling sam liam's husband
@@bigtacotime4382 this is accurate
Thanks for curating this. They are so entertaining.
Incredible compilation, great work, I am really hoping for part 2
The Best Detective Agency
They're both so in sync because they have the same cheek bones
Simulslice!
10:44 Sam not noticing Laura come in and being surprised to see her...😂
Critical role has the family tie equivalent of an improvised knot. Really tight, really close, totally improvised, and works really well
I like how Sam and Laura named Veths Father Travis Smith. I was half paying attention when I heard my name and started laughing
I don't know why but I absolutely crack up at the very final jump at the end of the video.
Awesome compilation, you picked some really good clips. Thanks!
Veth and Jester from C2 feels the most like Sam and Laura’s IRL interactions
7:27 this is so silly but I wish there was some kind of relaxing rain moments of CR compilation.
The look on Travis's face at 2:36 is correct.
omg I’ve been waiting for this kind of compilation for forever !!!! Thank you for your service
First, this is a video I didn´t know I needed.
Second, at 11:05 this is the binary code for the number "9", which is kinda funny.
This isn't even close to correct. It's 121. 9 in binary is 1001. When converted into ASCII though, it is y which can be used as shorthand for yes in some older, more basic programming.
@@a_Taverenyes i mean ASCII and it is my bad I missed the fourth 1 in there. So you are completely right. This is kind of embarrassing 😅
I love the limerick so much.
Thank you for including the captions!
During the "making Your turn to Roll" video, Laura talks about their dynamic. Irs honestly so sweet.
Taliesin when they say "Hack the planet!" XD No bets that one of his favorite movies from the 90's is "Hackers".
wake up babe new serotonin boosting cr comp just dropped
I love it when laura sounds like Jaina for that warcraft nostalgia
Taliesin's face at 7:17 is my favorite he looks like he just realized it's his birthday or something
Love this compilation, and the two of them ^^
My DND party found a book by Scanlan Shorthalt in some frozen wasteland.
welll now my face hurts
It's giving best friends with my brothers boyfriend
great captioning
yessss dynamic duo!
I don't know how you be Sam (or anyone), and not fall in love with Laura.
Travis is a very lucky man.
*harp music*
6:11
Such a good line though what she said.
6:45 Lmao what the hell Laura 😂
It's a shame you didn't include Nott saving Jester from a dragon, one of the best Sam & Laura moments
I wasn't expecting to watch the whole thing...but...
Chaos: the musical 😂
3:04 my favorite one❤
Thank you for the captions😊
Thank you for saving clips from talks machina 👍
they’re actually only included because i technically uploaded this a couple months ago before cr made their stance clear, i just ended up being very slow putting the captions together so didn’t post until recently. going forward i won’t be including any clips from talks machina in compilations i make.
THE LEET HAXORS holy shit sent me
Sam and Laura share 1 braincell and I love every minute of it!
Taliesin's head was about to explode 12:05 like in thet one movie,
_Hack-something_
Sam says good cop bad cop I say blue cop green cop
Adorkable!
that's teddie and rise!
Been a long time since I've laughed so hard I cried
3:03 Taking turns on the same braincell.
