HELLO MY NAME IS BOLO 😂
upload the hodmedod scene
MY NAME IS BOLO SANTOSI, I AM THE LEADER OF THE REVOLUTIONARY ARMY KNOWS AS THE REAPERS
Where is the full episode?
@@buzzbuser1124 still on twitch. I believe on Mondays they post them to TH-cam. So should be later today.
@@buzzbuser1124 its up now on TH-cam
You can see Lou write down 'Bolo' at 1:05 as he realizes "Oh, Brennan's got his mitts on this character. She is no longer a one-time joke."
If it turns out Bolo is key to the whole Calamity imma lose it (in a good way). I can sense strong 'baron from the baronies' coming back to bite a PC in the ass energy.
Not only he writes Bolo but underlines it too like "this shit"
@@asdasdasdasd714 Oh, Lou knows that if any character is mentioned to Brennan, it will show up again later in the campaign.
**Looks at Baron, from the Baronis, Riz's rOMAncE pArtNEr**
hah. he underlined it.

*Řømäęňćê Påëřťñêřr
Bolo: can you destroy?
Cerrit (an empath): I can sense your frustration…
this is so funny
Bolo: "Can you? Destroy."
Can youuu destroy. Such a good delivery
That's exactly what I thought hahaha
I love how Aabria is so emotionally invested in the ex-wife character that she starts huffing at the idea of her ex bringing some hot new thing to the party whose name he can't even remember, but then she immediately loses it at "Bolo"
Oh her and Travis playing off of each other as quiet as they can just makes the scene even better.
@@CrashCanuck537 he was hyping her up and until they both just broke down.
Aabria is worth so many chef's kisses the tips of my fingers are chapped.
Shame she cant be as invested in DMing while being antagonistic and ignoring player choices and rolls.
@@thedarkness125 WTF kind of hot take is this, Aabria _rolls_ with player choices.
So, Sam really showed up with the Exandrian equivalent of a russian mail-order bride, huh? Or an Aeorian mail-order arm-candy in this case.
I definitely pictured more of a Soviet weight lifter in a cocktail dress. Just like way bigger and stronger than Sam's character.
Lol Brennan's improv background definitely came through for this scene XD
My name Bolo. Melania Bolo.
She is here to make the big trouble for moose & squirrel...
@@Halrin I was imagining someone like Fran Stalinovskovichdavidovitchsky from Dodgeball
I love Brennan's desperate attempts to keep a straight face and also that Bolo has 0 physically description
I think the literal only details we knew about her before Brennan opened his mouth was a) that Loquacious is under the impression that she's a woman and b) that Loquacious is under the impression that she's gorgeous. Apart from that, nothing.
@@Landis963 I love how tactically you've phrased this
@@Landis963 In my head, Bolo is like that one Martian woman in Mars Attacks!
She has a description. She’s a PC in one of the one shots by critical role. I think elden ring or something. Brennen plays her.
@@Landis963 Wow transphobia is sooo funny
My favorite part is Lou's reaction. He's been there for Gilear and Telemaine, Bolo is just another day in the park for him.
YEP! Rule one playing for brennen: never leave a character open for interpretation unless you are willing to face the consequences.
@@bellringer53 Absolutely. This can perfectly turn into a "Baron from the Baronies" scenario with Bolo becoming super relevant at some point (and not entirely for comedy). Can't wait.
@@bellringer53 I feel this is exactly what Sam was hoping for to be honest.
GILEAR I MISS HIM
I feel like he's having Baron flashbacks
There's a line I encountered on tumblr in reaction to this, which was "Bolo of Aeor is the single greatest piece of improv-er on improv-er violence I've ever seen."
I'm inclined to agree.
Sam threw Brennan a curveball but did not expect him to hit it back perfectly, shattering the pitcher's skull
Echoes of “Sam Riegel gave me a bullet to kill Travis Willingham, and I have turned the gun back on Sam Riegel.”
I knew Sam and Brennan would be a terrifying combo
They made a terrifying combo in the tarnished one-shot.
Like a giant canister of propane getting hit by a flamethrower
Brennan + Emily + Sam = actual apocalypse, and I'm here for it.
@@bushidotestu1997 the ultimate fluffernutter
@@brendanmatthews8236 add Louis, Laura and Amie and it would be the end times
I love how Marisha is trying to keep it together, then finally breaks when Lou's like "This is disgusting."
Lou and Brennan were in UCB together and is in a home game with Brennan in addition to D20 so he's seen him do this multiple times in multiple ways.
why did he say its disgusting?
@@nekomancer47 He was telling Sam that it was disgusting because it is an older wealthy man bringing a super hot and young woman on a date by leading her on with promises to help her further her career. An old trope in movies, and in real life (especially in Hollywood).
@@nekomancer47 I think he was commenting on what Brennan was trying to do with that accent 🤣 watch Lou's face
We were all Marisha in that moment
THIS is why I love Brennan, he takes the joke and RUNS with it
Of course, that's how we end up with the Gilear's of D20
It's Tai chi DMing. Take the chaos and throw it right back at the players
Run with it? He STOLE that joke and slapped his own trademark on it. It was amazing.
@@residentmemberofhell respectfully, Emily is how we got Gilear. Brennan NEVER thought that fig would reconnect with Gilear so when Emily said “I need to apologize to Gilear” Brennan rolled with it… and now Brennan has made it his life mission to put Gilear 6 feet under, likely surrounded by empty yogurt cups
SPEAK NOT OF THE NIGHT YORB
The unsung hero of this scene is Lou Wilson declaring, "This Is Disgusting."
“Who let Bolo in the CITY?”
Marisha (Incredulous): Who did you bring?
Sam (Floundering): Uhhh, Bolo? I think?
Brennan (A child on Christmas morning): You have presented improviser with a gift?
lol FOR REAL!! I never noticed his reaction before and he literally gasps with excitement 😂😂
More like Dobby..
Even in a throw away JOKE Brennan sneaks in details about Aeor "It would be illegal to ask these questions" and of course Bolo wouldn't see the "bag" as a machine since Aeor has their own sentient metal citizens - Aeormatons.
BLM has mentioned loving/watching Critical Role, specifically loving the Final CR2 arc. His love really shows
Brennan is a dnd GOD
@@crabobserver Totally unmatched.
"Can you destroy" had me in tears
Can you? Destroy.
@@Hrekto Can yooouuuu*
I lost it at, "You need... the drinks."
I didn't know about Aeormatons when I first met "Bolo from Aeor" in Calamity. Now that I know more, her distaste for simple automaton servants seems less like "dumb mail-order bride" and more like "I've learned to expect far better than this, but a language barrier is keeping me from fully articulating my frustration." Well played, Brennan Lee Mulligan. 🙂 This bit has layers that make it work as both a superficial joke and commentary about cultural differences (while still being a good gag, in a totally different way). 🤯
That's the genius of BLeeM. There are often layers to his comedy.
I like the implication that her calling the machine a "bag" really means she was calling it trash
what you mean automaton, its a bag
@@MeonLights cuz aeormatons are the most advanced, so a hoddmedodd is just a bit of enchanted fabric
Yes! I'm a year late but YES BLM totally nailed that Aeor vibe without being over the top. They were a high-tech civilisation, a hodmadod is the equivalent of a vacuum cleaner. It was a nice subtle way to point out the idea that Aeor was far advanced or at least used more advance robots for menial tasks.
My headcanon is that Bolo looks exactly like Dr. Lugash in a tasteful black cocktail dress, high heels, tasteful jewelry, and fancy party makeup. Russian mob tattoos. Broad shoulders. "Stranglin' hands". Everything.
Like Jamie Lee Curtis in True Lies but it's Dr. Lugash from the Unsleeping City.
The look only works if every detail says "EXTREMELY fancy prostitute"
What race do you think Bolo is? I for some reason i can imagine Dr Lugash in high elf form
I pictured her more as Brennan's Elden Ring one-shot character, Brigitta: short fireplug of a lady, big mess of ginger hair, face slathered in woad. And yes, tasteful cocktail dress and stiletto heels.
mine is just Pam from fallout
The coolest thing is, you can see that Brennan didn't have to create her at all. Sam was ready to just say the name and move on, but as soon as she introduced herself he also jumped in immediately. The improv chemistry of the two is amazing, we need more.
The pause and delivery of "can you...destroy?" takes me out every single time.
I swear to god, I'm fully expecting Brennan to make Bolo actually have an important role in the campaign and people just lose their minds.
I mean, remember Baron? XD
Rizz Guggak's Röemance partner?
I actually expected to see Baron from the baronies in the mirror at the end
Brennan will heed EVERY LITTLE DETAIL and the funnier or stranger it is, he'll try to find a way to incorporate it. Bolo is a spy, for sure.
im gonna guess that the hodmedod she was messing with ends up becoming the one that malfunctions and starts whispering the ghor dranas shit, brennan made her from aeor afterall and he dropped that aeor was becoming more warlike in its tech and attacking other cities, so maybe its connected
Baron? From the Baronies?
I love how Travis is still the biggest hype man, and that he's next tp Aabria. Fucking amazing XDD
Let us not forget: THIS IS EXANDRIAN CANON LORE. Meaning all Aeorians talk like this, aka MATT has to talk like this.😂
Brennan just straight up said “not only am I going to ruin your world as history, I’m going to ruin your world in perpetuity.”
I mean not really, but it’s nuggets like this that make life worth living.
This is a small thing in comparison, with all the amazing stuff happening, but does anyone else think that Bolos confusion in dealing with the atomaton is that she is from Aeor and therefore used to actually sentient aeormatons? Hence why she calls it a bag, as it is made of cloth and in her eyes not even close to a real atomaton. Also I can't help but think, that Brennan already had planed for there to be a Aeorian spy in the city and then changed it to be Bolo, when Sam came up with the character, or that he came up with idea of there being a Aeorian spy, and that spy being Bolo when he came up with the idea of her being from Aeor. I guess what I am saying is that I think Bolo is a Aeorian spy.. ;)
It makes perfect sense that Bolo doesn't consider the bags to be real automatons because she's from Aeor. I love that. Thank you for adding that to my head canon about her.
I dont think there's going to be a spy in the city, let alone it being Bolo. Remember is Aeor that's the city that's going to be attacked for the sole purpose of a dry run for an actual attack elsewhere.
Now that you mention it.... It is almost like he saw a perfect opportunity to have them interact with an Aeor citizen for exposition plot drop without actually making it a story focus.... It's the perfect opportunity to explore Aeor stuff without sidetracking the actual story. Using known-to-be inconsequential NPC's for background info is a useful tool in its own right, and it would make sense for a citizen of Aeor to think that a humanoid shaped sack of cloth without sentience is effectively a walking bag.
leaving a reply, hope you see this! the new CR book gives a tiny fraction of insight into bolo. like, blink and you'll miss it level insight, but it's still interesting and adds to Bolo's mystery
@@CosmicCappybappy The story of Bolo from Aeor continues!
Took me a second to realize Sam may have made a mail order bride joke.
Also kudos to Travis for hanging in character
May have? I'm surprised people at the table didn't get it
I think out of any cast members, Travis's laugh is the most contagious to me. The second he starts going, I can't stop.
For me, it's Marisha. When she gets that "I have to focus on breathing" laugh going, I am 100% done.
Oh wait until Brennan gets Lou going. The man is a fan favorite on Dropout for a reason
Travis's reactions are my favorite. He just takes us on the journey with him
Knowing brennan bolo is going to play an important role
oh, one hundred percent!
if you watch him when sam names her he smiles a bit and shuffles some notes - i promise that he just changed a planned character's name and made a few other tweaks - and I AM SO READY
Funny you say that…
This gives me "Npc i made up turns real" vibe from Adventuring Academy
aka Baron from the Baronies
We just need her to mention that she's his rœmance pærtner.
Imagine Bolo turns out to be a 16th level warlock with over 100 hp or something.
Considering she’s from Aeor it’s more likely than not
I still haven't forgotten the last episode of A Starstruck Odyssey. Never trust Brennan with a random funny NPC that one of the players hates. He'll make it part of the endgame somehow.
Warlock? Bolo is clearly a melee class.
XD You should watch Downfall if you haven't.
I love the idea that everyone in Aeor sounds like this, and they're all Gru from Despicable Me.
Sounds nothing like Gru.
@@tholgrimstonebeard5943 Vaguely Russian idk I thought it was a very Gru sounding voice but I suppose it was more Borat
Sam Riegel - spreading chaos and hilarity like a champ.
I so want a Sam/Aimee Carrero team up with Aabria and Brennan.
I still cannot fucking believe this table. It’s like watching the Avengers assemble
This entire campaign is actually just Brennan tries to kill Travis, for 4 hours.
So it's fantastic.
The number one rule of Improve is to Yes And whatever someone brings into a skit....
A generally good 2nd rule is basically 'don't let a bit lose its energy'. So long as the 'humor' of the scene is not lost or especially if those 'in the spotlight' are not able to find a way to continue the bit.
0:43 is a great showing of this second rule.
1:05 “How many hit points does she have 🙃” I’m sobbing 😭
"this bag keep arguing with me"
"Can you ... destroy?"
"What do mean machine? Is bag."
“Who let Bolo in the city?”
I love this and would like to point out that “bolo” is the Portuguese word for cake! 😂
It's also a kind of men's neckwear particularly associated with the American West
The cake is a lie
Bolo is also a large knife similar to a machete.
Travis basically dies and came back just from the laughs oh boi.
0:43 you can see Brennan realize what he can do with this
*"Listen, I only have a small list of pre-programmed responses. I'm not actually sentient. So, if I'm saying this, you know you've asked for something that's not included in my brain!"*
Such a great line, I'm SO using that for every single sassy robot character I make!
the face Brennan makes when voicing Bolo is the best Elon Musk impression I've ever seen in my life
That is a genius joke
Luis losing his shit during Cerrit and Bolo's interaction is *chef's kiss* XD Especially during the "Can you... destroy?" part (3:51) LMAO
I want Travis Willingham to talk to me in that voice 24/7. Like, I want it as my phone voice. I want it as my alarm clock. I want every voice on every TV show and movie to be that.
I see Sam's character also has a Römaénce Päertner. Can't wait to watch the full thing. lmao
Aabria, IMMEDIATELY:
"HoW mAnY hItPoiNtS dOeS sHe HaVe?!" 🤣🤣🤣
Listen, I use this phrase "This bag keep arguing with me" at work all the time now and NOBODY knows what the hell I'm talking about, but it makes me cackle every time.
It looks like the accent is trying to escape Brennan's throat in the moments leading up to him finally voicing the character
I love how you can see Brennans gm brain working xD. You can tell that hes cooking something up as soon as the name was dropped.
Brennan's wheeze of victory when Travis taps out. XD
I love how even Brennen is barely holding it together during the whole thing.
The history books were wrong… Vespin Cloras may have started the calamity, but Bolo will end it. She’s gonna kill everyone XD
"This your house?" Was the absolute peak of this entire run and nobody will ever convince me otherwise.
Just to see Travis break down at Bolo is just everything.
Travis' resigned "Yep" at the end, lmfao. He knows he has to get out of there
Just realised it makes sense for Bolo to view the automaton with such disdain, being from Aeor where they make actual sentient machines
Love how Bolo's fight with the automaton fits the universe, after all Aeor has fully sentient robots so of course she'd be annoyed and look at it like a primitive bag
0:40 you can see the EXACT moment the lightbulb goes off in Brennans head
I love that Lou was already ready for whatever was going to come next as Sam was describing Bolo.
Brennan and Sam in the same game is chaos I didn't know I needed lol
Brennan, Sam, and Laura.
@@EchoMirage72 We almost had that lol Marisha took Laura's place because of scheduling issues. Lol
“Can you destroy?” Had me laughing tears at 3am
"What do you mean? It's bag...."
I love that Lou's reactions are generally to the CR cast -- he's more immune to Brennan's particular brand of magic, and more surprised by what Travis and Sam and Marisha do. XD
“this bag keep arguing with me…. can u destroy?” best line
Watching Brennans face leading up to Bolo speaking is PERFECT. You can see the chaotic glee building 😅
Bolo Bolo, who lives on 22 Bolo Street and 22 Bolo Boulevard.
"This your house?" + "Can you... destroy?" will never not get me. Bolo 4ever.
I will forever see Bolo as Florence Pugh as Yelena in Hawkeye
I honestly hope Bolo just keeps randomly showing up through the rest of the mini arc just doing her thing lol
Hahaha if Bolo ask "Can u destroy?" Then the answer better be yes!
I remember when Brenan first voiced Bolo, I thought, "FInally, someone who can go toe to toe with Sam!"
Bolo's death scene will be the emotional gut-punch of this series.
Yeah all the deaths she will create will be emotional, much unlike her never changing facial expressions
I love that he uses this to drop lore hints about aeor
I need now EXU: Saving Bolo
"Can you... Destroy?" is what makes it for me.
Man they almost cracked Sam. That's fucking rare!
Bolo! Cultural Learnings of Avalir for Make Benefit Glorious Floating city of Aeor
😂
reminds me of Jawbone from fantasy high nameless NPC who with one question became a big part of all the characters lifes.
His "c'mon man" get me everytime. Just the only reaction when something is so ridiculously undeniably funny that your brain short circuits and says "that's not fair...w'ere trying to do a thing here....STOP it."
This man dealt with Hilda Hilda, you think he wouldn’t cause chaos here?
Can we all take a second to appreciate that Travis ( while staying true to character ) when to investigate Bolo further, because OF COURSE TRAVIS WOULD 🤣🤣🤣
the look on Brennan's face when he hears the name Bolo and decides to escalate the scene is priceless
0:40 That is the smile of a DM with a fun idea. Then try's to keep it cool till it arrives.
I like to think that Bolo escaped the destruction of Avalir and it is her report of the events there which leads directly to the creation of the Godhammer.
I just watched this earlier today, and aside from the Colbert one-shots, this was my first experience with Critical Role, or really anything D&D outside of Dimension 20. This moment was made me feel right at home, and it’s made all the better by the fact that the one losing it is a famous voice actor. Can’t wait for more. I might even go right into the sequel campaign after this one ends.
1:50
"In æor sometimes it is illegal to ask these questions"
“Hello my name is bolo” has the same energy as “hi I’m Evan kelmp”
When the DM knows how to Yes, And.
Abria very clearly forgot what it's like to play in the same game as Sam.
It's so much fun because "bolo" mean " cake" in Brazil. LOL
Also marisha's character last name is por'co, which mean pig in portuguese (porco)
In Mandarin it means Pineapple
"A E O R" - Bolo from Aeor
I knew Sam and Brennan would play off each other beautifully, but damn!
This has such Baron from the Baronies energy
Having only ever seen this out of context, I just kinda assumed Bolo was, like, a frail little goblin man.
I see now that I was very, _very_ wrong.
I wish Sam and Brennan had more opportunities to play off one another. They're just so damn funny
Travis has the most intimidating character so far especially those roll checks he did at the end of the episode.
Captain Kirk.
Bolo is the ancient white dragon Travis always calls for during journey rolls
Travis's desperate pleading is what gets me every time on this 😂 "No! Come on man!!!!"
I feel like Brennan had to have Lou there just to have someone who knew what was coming at any given moment
This is what happens when the most chaotic people in a room decide to join forces
