outside of maybe 3 nonlethal damage that hamster was screwed as soon as they managed to get past the armor value of a dimuntive animal /called shot roll
Reminds me of a fanfiction I made. Basically we have the cleric, rogue/bard, the fighter and the mage. The mage gets separated from her team and ends up captured by this group. She is tied up and can't use any spells at the moment. She tries persuasion. It got her and her friends out os lots of jams. She asked them to please let her go so she can find her friends. She asked them to please have compassion and sympathy for her. I don't know why, but they don't listen and Kyborg draws his long bow and says, "Sorry, miss. No can do." And shoots. His arrow lands in her chest. All is silent except for her loud heartbeats. Tha-thump tha-thump tha-thump Then a loud, piercing shriek erupts from her mouth, like that of a ghosts. And her head slumped and we all know why. Don't worry too much about her. She is friendly towards her party, but she haunts the nightmares of her shooter.
@@nnnik3595I mean, I'm biased but rabbits are BOMB ASS PETS!!! You can litter box train them like cats, they enjoy chilling, exploring, and plenty enjoy cuddles and pets 😁. Mine all run towards me as soon as they hear my voice. I'd say they are a cross between dogs and cats personality wise! Hamsters...well they don't usually like any of that and don't live anywhere near as long
@@megamuffinchipalicious898 lol my hamster was a brilliant little thing (litter trained, very affectionate, wickedly clever) and my rabbits are yes, litter trained, but reject affection and one literally faked an injury at like, 9pm just to go to the vets 🤦🏻 total drama Queen. She does lick me (and fight my feet) but we can only pet them when they’re in their cage. And she stomps at the mildest annoyance. Her sister got a treat first? Stomp. Opened the door to fast? Stomp. Simply exist? Stomp. Love them but it definitely depends on temperament and personality 😅
In what way was it "objectively evil", Because hamsters are cute? Would you feel the same if it was an innocent man-eating spider? Based on what's illustrated here it was perhaps unnecessary, unless the pedestal the hamster was on posed some threat, but there was nothing "objectively evil" about what he did.
@@jeremyhill9720of course it was objectively evil. An innocent vulnerable creature was murdered unnecessarily... Your counter example of a man eating spider is most likely not vulnerable nor by our usual standards "innocent" - it eats people, that's clearly not just about being cute or not.
It does come back in an event. Its' name was Sparky, but I think it died in that same episode. It was a one-off side quest event they did for a live show. Really fun.
Now, the arrow is cursed with the soul of the hampster, and on occasion, the hampster will mess with the trajectory of the arrow mid air, making it miss the target as revenge
This might be the most D&D thing to ever happen. I had to argue with people (non role players) who saw the D&D movie and complained that it was too comedic, telling them that its exactly how an actual game of D&D would go.
That was my favorite part about it, the whole thing *felt* like a DND campaign. It was comedic in a very DND way, and it was so much better because of it
I think it's because people would like to see a serious story set in the DnD world, not a murder hobo comedy run that every tabletop session turns into. A story like Baldur's Gate.
Glad to see other ways of showing the story! With the full length puppet show coming up this seems like a good way to still be able to post without overloading the puppet crew.
@@spudsbuchlawyess!! They are doing a full lenght puppet show. There will be more puppet show than only the shorts!! Search it up, the announcement video is pretty awesome.
@@jinxedproductionpuppets feel more unique and have become the medium that feels correct for this channel imo, plus I just wish more puppet shows existed so it would be kinda sad if they transitioned the shorts more towards animation
I have the ghost of an innocent rabbit following the Rogue around in my party. Every now and then, he catches it out of the corner of his eye before he looks and it’s gone.
I love how he went through the roller coaster of emotions and it was all for naught and we got a minicampaign JUST TO MAKE KYBORG FEEL EVEN MORE BAD, kek EDIT: the other bad part is how it NEVER stopped the axes... It just made them less shocky...
I recently started listening to the podcast on spotify and just finished this episode earlier this week! It's great stuff, possibly the funniest DnD content I've heard??
Even after years of not watching rooster teeth i can still recognize Gus' voice instantly : ) Edit: where can i watch/listen to this dnd game? Edit edit: i can watch it here lol. Answered my own question 😂

I have been listening to your podcast for so long. Never knew you had a channel
"Rolling for damage!"
Brother it's dead asf
There we go. The first comment 🙂
"Stop it! He's already dead."
Critical hit!
Dude, it has 1 hp
RULE #2 DOUBLE TAP
It could've been a legendary creature you never know (I've never played dnd and that sentence probably showed that)
The fact he got a nat 20+8 on the weakest animal is hilarious
You just know he'll be rolling poorly on anything that Does matter afterwards
669 likes.
You know he is going to roll 5's and 3's in an important combat
And sad 😢
Its like using an ult move against a slime in an MMO
“Rolling for damage!”
Like the hamster was just going to walk that off 💀😭
outside of maybe 3 nonlethal damage that hamster was screwed as soon as they managed to get past the armor value of a dimuntive animal /called shot roll
I mean... Hamsters are Diminutive/Tiny Sized... So either 1/4 or 1/2 of a D8... It could have lived, lol

Just put an ice pack on it and it will!
@@autobotCRSHRyes, but was a crit so.. it has like a 7% chances of survival
love how they didnt even consider just... taking the hamster out of the wheel and instead went to instant death
Those elf ears make sense...
You think that hamster was trapped!?
No!
There was nothing preventing that hamster from leaving that wheel...
Clearly it's EVIL!
or they couldve taken out the wires
how could he remove it without being shocked though
@@groyperfuhr4871hi im spongebob
I love how Kyborg loves rabbits and will save them but hates hamsters XD
tbh I can kind of see why he treats hamsters the way he does. I don't understand his takes on rabbits though.
It was the most evil hamster he have ever seen. And he must have seen a lot of them. So he must literally been the Putin of hamsters.
@@nnnik3595player had a pet rabbit growing up. Decided that Kyborg also had a pet rabbit growing up.

Plot twist: the DM had written three pages of notes for that hamster and planned for it to be a lovable recurring NPC.
Just gonna have to settle for Mr. Nibbles the second. (or third)
That's when it turns into his next of kin hunting the party down
@showalk this will make the entire plot 10000× more enjoyable
No joke there is a side quest involving this hamster they did on the Rooster teeth site.
Or professor marmalade…
"Elf are known for their harmony with nature creatures"
"But not this one, not today"
💥
There were SOOO many options, and he choose the objectively most evil option :D
He Should have save the hamster
I can't even think of one other option😂. It's the only way.
"I quickly break the legs of the hamster"

"The axe keep swinging, one light in the background slowly dims.. guess that hamster wheel wasn't powering those axes... ooops"
*camera angles to 9 more hamsters in wheels* welp
Rolls again
The hamster was electrifying the axes, they kept swinging
The microwave of some breakroom stops mid bag of popcorn. Either belonging to the big bad or less then minimum wage minon.
my exact thought as a DM lol
"The axes are still swinging... The bathroom light goes out tho"
"A child screams a restless cry in the distance"
“You see 12 more hamsters, running in identical wheels.”

"Have you ever said 'take an attack roll on the ha-"
*"TWENTY EIGHT!"*
that hamster better come back as a revenant
Halter want revengs
It does come back in an event. Its' name was Sparky, but I think it died in that same episode. It was a one-off side quest event they did for a live show. Really fun.
Imagine if he was just the final boss
The image that a hamster now haunts that arrow and fucks with his shots cracks me up and will always be cannon in my mind
The hamster should possess that prosthetic arm and mess with him through his rt hand.
Canon
That would be what I’d do as a DM. That hamster would now be his greatest annoyance🤣
The most common thing said by DMs
"Al... Alright..."
Followed by “erm”
lmaooooo true
Also by
“I don’t know…”
Not to mention "Are you sure about that?"
In my mind I'm always like "wha... why?" just to then say out loud "sure!"
"As a dm, have you ever said, "make an attack roll on the hamst--" "28!!"
Now, the arrow is cursed with the soul of the hampster, and on occasion, the hampster will mess with the trajectory of the arrow mid air, making it miss the target as revenge
you left out the part where the axes were still swimging, just not electrified anymore😂
it would have been even better if they were still electrified implying that the hamster had nothing to do with the trap.
@@samurai2871It would have been even better if they were still swinging and *still* electrified...but the conveyer belt stops moving.
@@VulpisFoxfire it would have been even better for just the lights to turn off lmao
@@hugo57k91Would have been even better if Monster would come out the Cow Monster style.
Or they start going faster because the hamster was actually trying to stop the axes.
"Sorry little guy. There was no other way."
Ghost hamster gestures to the exposed cables in incredulity.
Or, they could just lure the hamster off the wheel
I feel like they could have just picked up the hamster but I also feel like that was a trap
*Ghost hamster joined by Spirit Anakin, Spirit Obi-Wan and Spirit Yoda*
The way he is so happy when he says "28!!!!!!!"
When all you have a bow, everything looks like an arrow problem.

What show or movie are we talking about?
@@sooooootamad7539The new DnD movie--Honor Among Thieves
There were multiple points where I was about to crack a joke and the movie beat me to it. It was wonderful.
Glad to see other ways of showing the story! With the full length puppet show coming up this seems like a good way to still be able to post without overloading the puppet crew.
Agree, but I immediately missed the puppets xD
@@lessoriginalYeah, I get why they're doing it, but it immediately lacks the charm of the puppet shorts.
full length Puppet show?
@@spudsbuchlawyess!! They are doing a full lenght puppet show. There will be more puppet show than only the shorts!! Search it up, the announcement video is pretty awesome.
Imagine the axes were connected to some car battery and the hamster was just ontop of it minding its own buisness doin some cardio
"Rolling for damag-"
"Yeah, you- The hamster is pinned to the wall. Motionless, dead."
As soon as I heard hamster I was like zero chance they hurt it lmao I WAS WRONG 😂
It just shows the essence of this show 😂
They probably shouldn’t have done that… it might’ve been one of Boo’s cousins.
I love how that was the one thing Kyborg hit during the fight. The dice on this show really know how to perfect comedic timing.
its dnd dont hold expectations someone will eventually do something dumb
My immediate instinct was to shoot it with a bow. I didn’t think that was actually where this story was going.
Puppets are good but animation isn’t worse!
True
Idk man, the puppets just added that extra bit of comedy
@@Mr-Tonk but the animation is also really good. Why not mix it up:)
@@jinxedproductionpuppets feel more unique and have become the medium that feels correct for this channel imo, plus I just wish more puppet shows existed so it would be kinda sad if they transitioned the shorts more towards animation
Puppets are coming back, we’re releasing animated shorts while we create the full length puppet show.
This is the most Camp Camp DND animation I've seen.
Next time on D&D, Kyborg is haunted by a hamster that tells him things about it’s life that no one wants to know
This is probably the most effective ad for a podcast I've ever seen
I have absolutely NO interest in the subject but I'm gonna check it out anyways just because of good this short is!
I must have missed something.
@@corvoattano9303 YOU WILL LEARN TO LOVE IT.
I'm pretty deep into the podcast because of the first one I saw
It worked, i just started listening
the toughest choices require the strongest of wills
The ends justify the means
i love that the thought never occured to just, you know, pick up the hamster
I have the ghost of an innocent rabbit following the Rogue around in my party. Every now and then, he catches it out of the corner of his eye before he looks and it’s gone.
The hamster has become more powerful than you can ever imagine.
Then the polymorph was broken and the tarrasque attacked.
Roll initiative
Rip "evil" hamster 😢
Justice for Jerry the hamster
I have no idea how to play dnd but i subscribed just because these are weirdly hilarious, me not knowing how to play makes this funnier honestly
Everyone knows how to play TTRPGs like D&D. You did it as a kid all the time. You just may not know the specific numbers and rules involved.
bro could've just picked the hamster up and taken it out of the wheel 😭
Use a thick glove or armored gauntlet - an aggressive or scared hamster _will_ take a chunk out of you!
@@matthewcox7985 oh okay I know now (ive never played dnd before but i have a hamster now)
Absolutely love the animation, this is so amazing!
"You look to the other side of the room where an electrical golem is standing in shock looking at the dead hamster"
Proceeds to roll lowest possible damge and hammy is still alive.
I love that the hamster stops running immediately and could have just jump off the machine 😭
I like it but the stop motion videos are just so much better to me. Can't wait to see more.
Puppetry, not stop motion
They're making full length ones!
@@nala7829THEY ARE?! Oh wow can't wait!!! :D
Agreed
😊Hay 😊 ps
Imagine there was a off switch right next to the hamster but he didn't let the guy finish the sentence
I love how he went through the roller coaster of emotions and it was all for naught and we got a minicampaign JUST TO MAKE KYBORG FEEL EVEN MORE BAD, kek
EDIT: the other bad part is how it NEVER stopped the axes... It just made them less shocky...
“The hamster fucking EXPLODES”
And then you find out that the bad guy just put their pet hamster on a treadmill cuz they thought he was getting too fat.
Ghost hamster should be secretly messing with them for the rest of time
“The wheel is spinning but the hamster is dead”
Nooooooo
Can we please make it cannon that the hamster haunts the arrows now?
They could’ve taken the Hampster off it’s wheel gently and took it with them on their adventure😬
Bard was: "That's the cutest thing i've ever seen."
*ARROW HIT*
Bard: "Aaahaaa."
Pulling out the hamster of the wheel left the chat.
Real men don't pull out!
@@jelleluyten5017🤨
Love this animation style, it’s just as expressive as the puppets but in a different way
“The wheel stop spinning, the axes continue to be electrified you killed a spare hamster”
I love how later Dr. Ahem was like “Has anyone seen my pet hamster?” And Kyborg was like “Oh god!!”
Even if you don’t play DND you still appreciate this
Later the hamster comes back and is revealed to actually be evil
Gus stuttering when saying alright is probably my favorite part of this
Chubby, terrified and surrendering hampster is one of the cutest things I've ever seen. Even moreso was the tiny, scandalized ghost-hampster
How do you like and dislike a video at the same
Why do you wamt to like and dislike this video?
@@veryQuiteWhimsicalprobably has something to do with the hamster murder
@@veryQuiteWhimsical TH-cam commenters dislike cute animals being hurt. However the also video warrants a like
Yup they got it😁😞
Where are the puppets ?!
That hamster's vengeful ghost should come back as a boss eventually. :p
The grumpy hamster ghost 🥹 so cute
I love how grabbing the hamster wasn’t even considered!
Bro fr took "the hard way" into a whole another level
One wea i'd truly love if at the end of every session there was a K/D/A recap to decide who played the best and have "G-force member" as a highlight.
Bro could have just walked over and picked the hamster up.
I recently started listening to the podcast on spotify and just finished this episode earlier this week! It's great stuff, possibly the funniest DnD content I've heard??
gotta love that Kyborg is ready to shoot almost everything that could and can move just to solve a problem
legolas but if he was a mix of him and had gimlis personality
Even after years of not watching rooster teeth i can still recognize Gus' voice instantly : )
Edit: where can i watch/listen to this dnd game?
Edit edit: i can watch it here lol. Answered my own question 😂
exact same thought
Yeah. I don't really know if I want to support RT, but it's very funny how immediately I recognised the voices
I love how he could’ve so easily just took the hamster out of the wheel, but instead chose violence immediately
Things like this make it really easy to appreciate good writing and story telling.
"Cant have light without dark" kinda vibes
I love the fact that in that ep this was his ONLY good attack roll.😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Love the simple clean black lines of this style, but the puppets just hit different to me 😅
That stutter from the DM, “ahh alright”, makes me think he wasn’t expecting that
I was expecting him to say “Natural 20”
“The hamster turns into a pink mist.”
I love this! The animation looks great!!!!
Now I want to see the hamster messing with that particular arrow's trajectory lol
"The wheel is still turning. You learn that the hamster was truly innocent in all of this and just trapped like you".
"Roll for damage" 😂😂😂 I remember my first idc if it's dead I'm rolling to see how dead moment...
ZERO hesitation to shoot the hamster.
This just gave me a really good idea for a ranger subclass for necromancy
My personal favorite part is later when they mention this to Dr. Ahem and he just goes "Oh no, SPARKY'S DEAD??"
Plot twist: it was a decoy hamster
Bro absolutely annihilated that hamster
A mix of animation like this and the puppetry would be perfect.
Plost twist: the hamster wheel acts as a deadmans switch
Whole building explodes
My first thought was "Eat the hamster"
Just listened to this episode yesterday and this is exactly what i pictured haha
Name of the episode?
Name of the episode?
@@ravennatasha731 sorry can't remember it's in the first 3 of season 1 though i think. I've been binging since i found the shorts here
I would’ve just picked it’s cute little body up and put it in a secure, yet comfy case 🥺💔
"The axes keep moving, not being effected by the death of the hamster. Next to you, you notice an off switch for the power."
If I ever get into a scuffle and somehow I make it out on top, "Rolling for damage" is going to be my one-liner afterwards. Too good.
One of the most traditional D&D scenarios animated beautifully.
Justice for Jerry
His name was actually Sparky
"Your arrow has been enchanted with The Hamster's Soul!"
“Make an attack role on the hamster!”
“Yeah he’s dead, like he’s pinned to the wall motionless”
Once you get a natural 20 you don't add your attack dice, you already succeeded.
homebrew.
I love that Villain Support saw this and made a shirt about justice for the hamster.
Plot twist that made the mini fridge turn off, the axes are still running and electric
“your honor, that hamster was armed and dangerous”
