7:16 No, the joke isn't that Paladin is calling him an animal(after all druid has already tried to cast animal friendship). It's that even after the fact that the werewolf attempted to start discussion with the druid, most likely in common language that they can understand already~ The paladin still cast "Speak with animals" for whatever reason.
12:53 Fun fact for those unaware, The Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny was done by Neil Cicierega, also known as the mastermind behind Potter Puppet Pals, Brodyquest, and such musical numbers as Bustin. His sister is a storyboard artist who worked on Gravity Falls and The Owl House, so he also did a few songs for Gravity Falls.
@@XPtoLevel3 Neil Cicierega had a hand in so many pieces of early internet ephemera, you keep looking and stuff just keeps coming and it don't stop coming and it don't stop coming and it don't stop coming
Man I sure can’t wait for Jacob to definitely not laugh at a single meme, not a one btw you nailed that one part of ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny
I'd like to imagine that the DM finishes describing your fantastical game changing wish and follows up with "Also your horse has a barrel of apples now"
That's... shockingly accurate. I've been meaning to find a way for my group to run into a bulette (because I think they are neat). Maybe I need a farm to be attacked by them and the farmer - not knowing what they are called - called them "land sharks".
You would be incredibly shocked to hear that most players nowadays never read the actual books. A good example of this is how most 5e players don't understand how the jumping rules work, and as such have no clue how the Jump spell works.
Yep, and I think that 5e did a great job taking the horrible AD&D Bullette art and making it cool. And yeah, people need to actually read the books. I read the 3 main ones back to back, great choice
Fun Fact: In the northern parts of germany you call a thick patty of ground beef a "Bulette", and because of this random likeness in name only this monster is quite infamous and well known in german DnD! :D
I did the "Wish" steed thing... 80 times. In our Sigil game, over the course of 10 levels, I made alliances with 5 Efreet. Efreet can grant wishes but not to themselves. Our deal was that, any time they wanted anything, they would come to my Githyanki Kith'rak. I would make one wish for my benefit and two wishes for theirs. At level 15, when I finally had 5 Efreeti allies, we circled up and spent more than half a month buffing the crap out of all of us. I made sure that my dragon mount and two familiars were present, gaining all the benefits that I did. We all support each other's tyrannies well. How could we trust each other you ask... The first wish of the Wish circle was for eternal, true, and trustworthy friendship and alliance between all the members. We literally cannot betray each other.
the elk is actually a great subversion of expectations. the normal meme, a la caked up omniman has the ass as the reveal, but when flipped on its head, it amplifies the humor.
the combination of the low quality image that isn't *too* crunched, but enough to look as if someone literally took these pictures, in shock, adds to the value of the humor. Why is the deer facing the camera? Why is is staring? How did they get two pictures of it in motion? To comment on your observation of the subversion, a la caked up omni man, another subtle way the artist made this much more comedically rich was by tuning down the 'reveal' note. Therefore amplifying the punch, the sudden wide deer mixed with the blasting "bwomp" creates a cocktail of pure hilarity. Though it doesn't simply end there, by extending the note and hold of the wide deer without any sort of editing; you are forced to stare into it's stupid dead eyes as the note grows longer and longer. The rhythm is suddenly *shifted*. Your expectations have now been completely shattered, leaving the viewer raw and without any ability to comprehend the scenario. The note gets longer and longer, the song continues, but the wide elk stares longingly beyond. There is no zoom, there is no further punchline, you simple watch and grasp this wide deer who silently observes. It's as if the artist wants you to 'weigh in' on the wide deer. The only direction your train of thought goes to is "why". Why is the deer here, and what is it doing? There's clear emphasis on it, but for what purpose. All of that thought and subversion, with a clean simple punchline. The deer is wide, and it's funny. Flawless execution, subtle nuance, not too heavy handed, all wrapped within a perfect video that was likely effortlessly created by an unknown individual. May the universe bless this wide deer.
I think what makes wide deer funnier for me is the mix of the original audio + the Fear & Hunger boss music tone. Its a really great mix of just goofy things that culminate into something extremely funny.
The 180 from Reddit meh to discord hilarity actually made my neck hurt. I was wheezing like a tesla hydroplaning into the abyss: quiet, but still a sight to see.
6:58 Animal Friendship fails if the animal being targeted has at least 4 INT. The joke, while not funny, is that the party continually assumes that because its a werewolf, he must have low INT and is unable to communicate or be cordial with people. It's a very common misconception, that both DM's and players make, that Werewolves are more beast than man and therefore lose their human intelligence when in actuality, the reason they're such a threat is because they retain that intelligence.
See the joke is actually in the title of the post, where it points out that the werewolf is already speaking in complete sentences, so theres no need to cast Speak With Animals
LMAO!!! I am legally blind and I just saw this! Whoever said “the way my DM looked at me when I said ‘I wish to give all blind people eyesight for 30 seconds’” is THE WORST in the best way!! I reacted exactly how you would expect a blind person to react to that comment… It was a roller coaster of emotion within 10 seconds…
I've talked to my players about the Greater Steed/Wish combo before and we've come to the conclusion that if it ever came up somehow, we would let the horse get a wish but it's a horse wish, so they would get like a mountain of apples or some stupid shit.
OK Dalrus, you have ascended to girlhood as you wished. While your body is in the process of becoming pure energ6, you turn your head one last time to say goodbye to your beloved horse. Before you can say something, your words are caught in your throat as a giant oat bag materializes on its face. Your final thought as a mortal being is "damn horse wishes."
I don't know how D&D horses are that stupid on the sheet and still obeys human while not making stupid mistakes unless their own life is at stake. IRL obedient beings are often capable to assess the situation rather quickly, fully aware of what possibility that they are provided with. If I am going to cast Wish while riding a horse in an "Realistic" settings, I'd try to be as friendly to the horse as possible.
The land sharks could've been a bulette. It could've been a whole thing, where the failed nature check turned out to be right for exactly the wrong reason. It has the seed of something funny in there.
We literally had the "oh you should definitely pick that up" meme happen at my last session. I described a room in the dungeon that was full of skeletons and dead bodies and a single pristine chest. My players ran straight to the chest to open it without any investigation whatsoever and were shocked when it turned out to be a mimic
I shamelessly laughed at the giving blind people sight for 30 seconds because it'd been so long of unfunny memes that I forgot this was a challenge and that meme caught me off guard
Looove the Ultimate Showdown reference! Hello there fellow ancient! (.... all came out of nowhere, lightning fast, and they kicked Chuck Norris and his cowboy ass.)
The fact that your wife managed something in 5 minutes what took the combined power of your whole friend group and the internet an hour is proof that it is true love 😂
Can't help but notice that the very vast majority of good memes were, in fact, not D&D memes. I don't know what it is about D&D, the memes just so rarely land.
My guess is that there aren’t really a lot of memes you can make, because there’s not much you can specifically reference outside of campaign-specific stuff, which won’t land outside of your specific group
You gotta look for them yourself. When i went looking for that hill-giant one (to read the sub-text under each pic), i found a bunch of others... some pretty okay, a lot meh... but i saved a good number to a folder and thought up a bunch of better ones i could make. :)
Honestly I don't wanna sound harsh because I love D&D and its community, but humour is subtle and they're not often very subtle people with a good intuition for creating comedy, more often the kind of people who will just recite jokes and moments from TV. Their experience of comedy is 100% receiving it, not creating it.
It's kind of funny how your channel popped up out of nowhere after I have been spending countless hours playing BG 3. Now I legit have been trying to find people to play a real D and D game with. Not so easy as I wanna play with people face to face around a table not digitally. I went out and bought a couple of the dice sets, the players handbook, and the monsters manual.
I am amazed that you got the Ultimate Showdown so well by memory. I immediately thought the same thing but don't have the brain power to remember any of it by heart.
Jacob got a nat 1 on Perception for the title of the "Speak with Animals" joke where it explains that the joke is that the werewolf is already speaking in sentences, so theres no reason to cast that spell
@3:50 had a similar thing happen when I ran PotA. Had the party do a little introductory quest in the sewers of Waterdeep where the ran into some water cult guys. They cleared the mini dungeon and found a magical communication device the cult used to receive orders for Garl Shatterkeel. He was all intimidating and stuff, threatened to kill them if they got in his way but offered to give them a chance if they would submit to him. My dorks thought he was omg so kewl and were talking about joining the cult. The campaign died cuz of schedule shit but I was 100% ready to set them on a roaring rampage of revenge by him drowning the owlbear cubs they had adopted, to demonstrate the “futility of attachment” or whatever.
The Command meme made me think about one thing I keep seeing in dnd space. "Hey let me tell you about that funny/epic thing I did in my campaign, but none of us actually read the spell description" It annoys me so much. Sure. Rule of cool. But rule of cool should have some boundaries. "I cast command: UNDRESS!" Yea cool... he wastes 6 seconds starting to take off his full plate armor, and then goes back to attacking you.
jfc that second meme got me on the relatability. Was playing a Lizardfolk Warlock in a campaign and our party was lured into a room that suddenly got locked and filled with sleepy-time gas. Unfortunately for the DM Lizardfolk can hold their breath for up to 15 minutes. Just seeing their face when I said this shattered my soul a little because I could tell it was the ONE thing they didn't account for in a party full of Dragonborns, Elves, etc. so I took the L and let the NPC who trapped us in here jab me with a sleepytime needle

Congrats on the Raycon sponsorship! Here's a fun fact for the scientists about the meme at 15:27 ("I have finally sequenced...") where there are suspiciously no Thymidines. If you translate acgacgacgacgacagacg from DNA to protein you get the amino acid sequence TTTTTD. There were no thymidines in the DNA sequence (T) but it translates to all Threonines (T) - and an aspartic acid (D) at the amino acid level.
Wish's range is self but you're not always the target of the spell, only when you replicate a spell that makes you so or do one of the effects that target you. Find Greater Steed mentions the spell has to target you, not that its range is self.
4:17 if one of my players did this, I'd take charge. I'd decide what the steed wished for: Player: "I wish for my dead lover's soul to be freed from the clutches of devils and returned to her body! Next, for my steed's wish -" Me: "No. I'll decide this one. You see, your horse has watched you do amazing things, and you have attended to their every need and whim. They love you with all their heart and wish for nothing more than to be your steed forever. You are now both permanently petrified into a heroic statue, reversable only by another wish spell."

@3:50 had a similar thing happen when I ran PotA. Had the party do a little introductory quest in the sewers of Waterdeep where the ran into some water cult guys. They cleared the mini dungeon and found a magical communication device the cult used to receive orders for Garl Shatterkeel. He was all intimidating and stuff, threatened to kill them if they got in his way but offered to give them a chance if they would submit to him. My dorks thought he was omg so kewl and were talking about joining the cult.
The campaign died cuz of schedule shit but I was 100% ready to set them on a roaring rampage of revenge by him drowning the owlbear cubs they had adopted, to demonstrate the “futility of attachment” or whatever.
The damn elk immediately got me too. I don't blame you. You aren't weak brother.
I fully believe that my sense of humor has been shot and killed because I broke when I saw Shatt and I needed no context for my brain to go hehe

The Ultimate Showdown reference was the best part, Jacob. Well done.
I saw that "Bald" meme a while ago but for some reason seeing it now made me cry laughing for a good 5 minutes 😂
The Command meme made me think about one thing I keep seeing in dnd space.
"Hey let me tell you about that funny/epic thing I did in my campaign, but none of us actually read the spell description"
It annoys me so much.
Sure. Rule of cool. But rule of cool should have some boundaries. "I cast command: UNDRESS!" Yea cool... he wastes 6 seconds starting to take off his full plate armor, and then goes back to attacking you.
jfc that second meme got me on the relatability. Was playing a Lizardfolk Warlock in a campaign and our party was lured into a room that suddenly got locked and filled with sleepy-time gas. Unfortunately for the DM Lizardfolk can hold their breath for up to 15 minutes. Just seeing their face when I said this shattered my soul a little because I could tell it was the ONE thing they didn't account for in a party full of Dragonborns, Elves, etc. so I took the L and let the NPC who trapped us in here jab me with a sleepytime needle
“Phil S Preston”
Jacob? JACOB??? PHIL AND TEDS EXCELLENT ADVENTURE???? HELLO??????

He did in fact get the Ultimate Showdown correct, though he cut out the beginning and end of that bit.
I laughed at the ad bit where you sang Barricades. Because I am sure I sound very similar to this and I feel seen xD.
A fellow man of culture, I see.
You got the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny posse correct.
They kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass.
some memes from discord got me, but than Tom Scott appeared and this edit was just.... I almost died too, because I ate my lunch at work at this moment
I love how the first random meme from discord made Jacob crack the fuck up (ngl I sat there laughing my ass off too so I don't judge)
the ultimate showdown of ultimate destiny, what an absolute classic
Congrats on the Raycon sponsorship!
Here's a fun fact for the scientists about the meme at 15:27 ("I have finally sequenced...") where there are suspiciously no Thymidines.
If you translate acgacgacgacgacagacg from DNA to protein you get the amino acid sequence TTTTTD.
There were no thymidines in the DNA sequence (T) but it translates to all Threonines (T) - and an aspartic acid (D) at the amino acid level.
6:20 Hahahah soo true, I died when you start singing it
the tom scott one always sends me to heaven
I laughed more at Jacob trying not to laugh and screaming "IM STRONG IM STRONG IM STRONG" 😂
Wish's range is self but you're not always the target of the spell, only when you replicate a spell that makes you so or do one of the effects that target you. Find Greater Steed mentions the spell has to target you, not that its range is self.
12:00 caught me so of guard ROFL rn
Molotov fireball meme making me remember my oneshot character Boomer; a kenku artificer obsessed with explosives, absolutely ruining a cocktail party
I made no effort to avoid laughing before but the Tom Scott Fucking Dies clip and your reaction had me crying xD
Sooo a funny opinion: You can kinda begin to see that Jacob, has become a dad, not in a negative way. Suits him
Bruh. That lemon demon shoutout was fantastic.
That quick rehash of “ultimate showdown” was actually pretty impressive!
4:17 if one of my players did this, I'd take charge. I'd decide what the steed wished for:
Player: "I wish for my dead lover's soul to be freed from the clutches of devils and returned to her body! Next, for my steed's wish -"
Me: "No. I'll decide this one. You see, your horse has watched you do amazing things, and you have attended to their every need and whim. They love you with all their heart and wish for nothing more than to be your steed forever. You are now both permanently petrified into a heroic statue, reversable only by another wish spell."
