@@shambhvilokre He voiced a character in a game that had "It's High Noon" as his catcphrase before performing a really powerful ability. It became a huge meme and I suspect that his friends like to take the piss out of him for it (as they should).
He almost certainly has a clause in his contract with Blizzard that would disallow him from playing that character in unrelated media. So they're basically trying to get him sued.
@@elbruces You can't really be sued for saying a single voice-line. Now if he went in full-cosplay and went around constantly quoting McCree they might have a case there, but if may just said "It's HIIIIGH NOOON" here Blizzard would basically have to prove to a court that McCree's entire character is based around that one voice-line. Hell, Matt even straight-up cosplays (pretty well might I add) McCree in an episode so it's less likely anything to do with a clause and more likely he gets tired of the meme and having to say it all the time and didn't wanna feed it more.
@@jeremycampbell4021 While you are correct and Blizzard is usually rather chill with stuff like that in general, I would also point out that CR makes it a habit to shut-down any attempt (e.g. during live Q&A) to get them to say any lines from anything they voiced. So no "hey xxx, can you do that line from yyy?" And I think they specifically stated that this is mostly for legal reasons
The noises he can make for monsters are something I aspire to achieve, cause god damn. The trill from the Frost Worm, the Baby-Abomination sounds, that shriek. Amazing.
After watching the literal thousands of hours of content Critical Role provides, I really do appreciate people uploading general compilations of their favorite moments. It's fun to see what I haven't seen and re live amazing but niche moments I would've otherwise had to spend hours watching it all again to see.
My favorite part of the whole poly-Machina debacle was immediately after when Keyleth polymorphs Percy and Vax into squirrels and tells the guards “see? Polyamory 😁” before walking into the room.
I’m in the briarwood arc, and it’s incredibly funny time how Percy is doing all these bad things and everyone’s really worried about him, but grog is just like “cool man, sign me up”
@@mcmann2243 oh just wait til after Lord Briarwood is dealt with. ~Percy~ [strikethu] *Tali* gives Grog a little present... one of the best chaotic neutral things thats ever happened in their game
Most of these clips just prove to me that all this boils down to is just seven friends having fun playing Dungeons and Dragons. There's no playing up to the camera, they just get so invested in these characters and just allow us to watch their antics.
My favorite moment has to be when one of the players asked if they can attack a swarm of bats and Matt exasperatedly told them "YES, you can punch bats!"
The bit from 2:39 to 2:58 is just, that priceless expression of either something extremely good or extremely bad. I cannot decipher which, but Matt's face is just, beautiful.
Jesus Liam does a bang on Gollum impression. Like, no lie, this guy constantly amazes me with how much of a straight up professional voice actor he is from a pure technical stand point. He's the best at the table I think. Don't get me wrong, the others, especially Matt, are all fantastic at their craft, but Liam has a level of pure technician about it that always blows me away. His accents are always tremendous, and his ability to alter his voice and speech patterns are every bit as good or better than Matt.
At first when I was watching Campaign 1 I didn't really get it, but now I finally undestand and it make me laugh all the time xD Especially Sam's "It's just turned to PM"
4:44 amongst the happy chaos ensuing, if you listen close, you can hear Ashley Johnson's high pitched "WHAT?! NO WAAAY!" and i just think it's cute. I love Ashley Johnson.
8:29 Good God, that demonic little Kubrick smile. I don't know what the hell was going on with the whole Percy and Ripley situation, but those two were having way too much fun with it.
0:27 I just wanted to comment and save this timestamp for myself because I enjoy this moment so much. I stopped at Episode 7 in Campaign 3 to finish all of Campaign 2, so this video was the first time I saw this. Thank you for saving this moment :)
"Nothing escapes Laura's mind. She is our resident 13 year old." "It was actually him this time." / "It was me." "Eh you're twins it's fine." "Poopy!" "Yeah..." If that wasn't the most parent-sibling interaction ever 😂😂😂😂
Hey! What campaign is going on at the 4 minute mark, with ‘Freddie and Greg’? I’d like to start watching CR and this seems like a fun campaign to start with! Unless anyone can recommend others?
That would be campaign one, with Vox Machina! It’s quite a good one, but the beginning can be a bit rough, content and quality-wise. If you want something more complete, I’d suggest campaign 2, or even jumping in with their current campaign, #3. People have explained the pros and cons of each campaign better than I, but the choice is up to you!
![Moments that made me fall in love with Critical Role [SPOILERS C1, C2, and C3]](/img/n.gif)
Talesins little anticipatory dance when Sam says “you, little elf girl” cause he just *knows*
I forgot how freaking perfect Liam’s Gollum voice is, I just want to listen to him alternating between that and “cuttlefish” forever
Cuttlefish is one of my most favorite voices that Liam does
He *is* the voice of Gollum in some of the games. I think the Shadow of Mordor series
@@xEvilRaptorx I know, it’s so cool! I almost want to play just to hear him haha
dont forget his bane voice!
Matt forever avoiding saying "high noon" cracks me up to no end.
Why tho?

"did she use, the ✨magic✨?"
"all of it, master! all of the ✨magic✨!"
"We don't do anything with dignity!" Will always be one of my favorites.
I mean truer words have never been said.
Matt: *lets out piercing shriek*
Liam: "what the fuck, Matt"
Also Matt: "what"
The noises he can make for monsters are something I aspire to achieve, cause god damn. The trill from the Frost Worm, the Baby-Abomination sounds, that shriek. Amazing.
We’re gonna need an old priest and a young priest!
@@SaintBigfoot His bottle opening sounds are also incredible.

It's fun to see what I haven't seen and re live amazing but niche moments I would've otherwise had to spend hours watching it all again to see.
I've honestly watched more critical role through compilations than I actually have on the channel. Need to change that
I get chills everytime I hear Robbie's "HOLY SHIT" with the doubtful double 20
"I'd never roll it twice, that would NEVER HAPPEN! *_HOOOOOOOLY SHIT!!!!!!"_*
Can only be bested by Travis' 3 Nat 20s (search for grog) or multiple nat 1s (Fjord's failure)
Forever one of my favourite moments of campaign 3
My favorite part of the whole poly-Machina debacle was immediately after when Keyleth polymorphs Percy and Vax into squirrels and tells the guards “see? Polyamory 😁” before walking into the room.
No matter how many times I watch that clip, Travis just randomly going "nEeaAOo" in the middle of combat never fails to make me cry from laughter
2:30 “Help us, Ja’Mon Sa’Ord! (Heavy Southern Accent)”
And lo, Imogen was placed deep within Laura’s subconscious.
I will always love the dynamic Grog and Percy had from Campaign 1.

I love that Sam said _"the magic"_ like it's just this thing that he's heard about, but knows little to nothing about it.
3:23 Matt releases horrifying, glass shattering shriek from Beyond the Veil casually and is confused when friends inquire what the fjck?
Matt: I make worse sounds all the time, what's the problem?

Do you happen to know what episode that is from? I want to see the context for it XD

I mean, there’s a reason he’s been cast as gollum before! The man has it down pat
@@lacewings oh really? I had no idea! I mean, it makes sense lol. It's super impressive
@@Beowulf03 yep! In a couple video games, I believe.
@@Beowulf03 He voices Gollum in both Middle Earth: Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War
@@jacobwyatt1314 and (hilariously) the Lego Lord of the Rings games as well
I love how Ashley and Travis both get the "I'm not gonna say it, but the sun is high in the sky" joke at the exact same time.
EDIT: at 9:15
At first when I was watching Campaign 1 I didn't really get it, but now I finally undestand and it make me laugh all the time xD Especially Sam's "It's just turned to PM"
Robbie’s got that good toilet humour.
*potty
@@katem488 He has kids, you know.
pISSEr
Love how Travis and Laura, parents of an equally impressionable child, laugh at him for saying "potty"
@@LadyStarflower The laugh of someone who knows. 😂
TRAVIS BEING SCARED OF LAURA IS EVERYTHING 😭
4:44 amongst the happy chaos ensuing, if you listen close, you can hear Ashley Johnson's high pitched "WHAT?! NO WAAAY!" and i just think it's cute. I love Ashley Johnson.
the scene with Scanlan convicing the guards that Poly Machina is a thing--- like as a polyamorous person I DIED
Ill never forget Dorian's double nat 20s and Robbies "HOLLLLY SHEEEET!" Reaction 😂
8:29 Good God, that demonic little Kubrick smile. I don't know what the hell was going on with the whole Percy and Ripley situation, but those two were having way too much fun with it.

the 2 second zoom on matt’s face killed me
literally highlight of my year
"Nothing escapes Laura's mind. She is our resident 13 year old."
"It was actually him this time." / "It was me."
"Eh you're twins it's fine."
"Poopy!"
"Yeah..."
If that wasn't the most parent-sibling interaction ever 😂😂😂😂
3:24
"What the fuck, Matt?!"
"What?"
I miss Robbie man. He's such a good addition to the party
Awesome!! There were actually so many new clips I haven’t seen before which was great!
Liam's laugh is made of sunshine I swear
Scientists have allowed him to create a single sound: 0:22
The clip at 1:05 had my ribs exploding omfg
Oh how I miss Vox Machina
8:35 that Perfectly Cut Scream of Travis hahaha
9:19 I just love how it took Ashley and Travis a few seconds to get the reference.
4:15 me whenever Matt produces yet another twist
7:25 whoever did the subtitles needs an award.
marisha’s little dance at 4:44 is too cute
Holy shit… Liam’s gollum is INCREDIBLE
Ngl I can’t wait until they animate the “you little elf girl,what’s your name?” Moment as I feel it will both be terrifying and hilarious to watch
the birth of Gelvaan/Imogen 2:33
Matt’s scream was primal
Robbie is a treasure
this makes me so happy
5:26 it speaks volumes that this is freaking mountain man Travis' reaction
2:29 Imogen cameo in campaign 1 😂
So good! Thanks for the memories!🥰
I love these ❤❤ But you should make the beginning and end text black background on white text for us who binge watch complations at 1am
"I have childreeen..."
4:38 gold.
fantastic!!!
Sam: Did she use "the magic"? Laura: All of it my master! All of the magic. What episode was this from?
C1E75, 3:39:03
@@lacewings thx
Getting lured in with C1 in the thumbnail and immediately being spoiled on C3. Sick.
Apologies man, my channel isn’t spoiler free. I’ve now added a warning to the title.
@@lacewings No worries! It's not a huge spoiler but I'd hate for others to be spoiled by it.
2:40 I would do the exact same thing, even if i would be GMing for the first time and online too no less.
For some reason I just now realized that Fearne is Ashley, exactly like Jester is Laura and that terrifies me
I totally thought you would post the clip of Patrick Rothfus talking about taking out the whole group...
Nice reference to clue the movie mr. Mercer. 5:40
You should look at how many time Matt picks up his drink, then puts it back down.
I thought it was funny it was Travis and Laura who made fun of the potty thing of course the parents get it lol
0:30-0:40 THIS SENT ME!! *I HAVE CHILDREN*
You little Elf girl.
What episode was Matt's roller coaster of emotions on the dice roll? Feels familiar but I can't place it
I want to know so badly XDD
Update: I found it, it’s c1e103 at 3:02:25
Ahhhh, that makes a lot of sense, looking it up: it is part of Grog's and Scanlan's guard problem when they went back to Vasselheim.

@2:25 Oh so THAT's where her Imogen comes from LOL
Awesome clips!!
Can someone please tell where moment 2:50 is from?
C1 103
what moment was the nat 20 that made him lose all cool XD
It was when Scanlan and Grog encountered the guards back in Vasselheim that they had major issues with lol
fuckin' flashbang at the end of the video XD
I haven’t really seen campaign 1, but why did Matt look at the natural 20 in a weird way?
Where's 4:50 from? Just before it cuts, it looks like they're both going to into hysterics and I wanna see if I'm right! lol
It’s when Robbie got 2 natural 20s in a row! C3E6, 2:16:40 if you wanna see it again.
@@lacewings Sorry, I meant 4:52 - I rounded down, lol.
If anyone remembers, could someone remind me of the context of 2:42? It's funny without it, but I would like to know.
Matt: (rumbles)
Does anyone know where 4:52 (high five) is from?
Where is the clip at 4:15 from?
2:39 What episode is this?
Wait, is Talks Machina back!?
2:37 context?
Scanlan and Grog ran into the guards that they caused problems with earlier that campaign 😂😂😂
:))))
Campaign 1 was so fun. What happened
The laugh track is pretty shit and annoying but other than that good clips
That wasn’t a laugh track. It was one of the live episodes they had. They are playing in front of thousands of people, who are laughing in the crowd.
