@@benshepherd2419 lol so yeah depending on your skill say if you have a 5, you can only fail on a 1 but if you have a 3 you can get a no success on a 3 or lower and pass on a 4 or higher
ありいArlee omg yes I said the same thing in the dimension 20 series he was in. Honestly he was amazing as he always is. You should definitely check it out if you haven’t just be warned you will become addicted to all content involving Brennan Lee mulligan if you’re not already.
I have to do this since one of my players decided to DM for me and some extra spots for other IRL friends not in my campaign and sometimes I have to stop myself to respect how he handles his game.
@@Highwaym4n the comment section is for people to talk about the video. Don't blame others because you lack either the self control or the common sense to stay out of the comments until you've finish the video.
This is a perfect example that having fun is the most important thing. Sam didn’t know half the rules, they added and subtracted some of them as they went. But it was a blast because everyone was totally on board and having a good time.
@@nathan8268 it helps that he leans into it too. He doesn't shy away from describing things, he just makes shit up and, as someone who also knows NOTHING about cars, it's the BEST.
This is what A really good rpg group can do. Unlike what you might believe according to most commenters it's not about knowing everything and doing everything "right."
I love how much ad-libbing goes into Sam's DMing. "I have no idea what I'm doing, this story makes no sense, let's get ridiculous, guys!". He's like a big child enthusiastically making stuff up for his best friends. This is fantastic.
pretty much every DM adlibs like HELL. I remember sessions I ran where players went off plan 5 minutes in and then next 6 hours was me ad libbing. :D it comes with the job
I know, but compared to Matt or Liam Sam just makes shit up as he goes, with just a passing glance at a "plan" or "rules". Sam's entire style seems to be "sure, why not". Which is great, make no mistake. Much as I love Matts of Liam's style, Sam is just so animated and enthusiastic about it all.
i love how they all have their styles Matt has his detailed epic fantasy Taliesin is good with horror Liam takes interesting concepts to play with (like an IRL campaign, or the screw job (especially the secret agendas) and i am yet to see the other various one-shots, so i'll save a comment for those ones i've seen honey heist and bunions & flagons.
Ah, they're playing Crash Pandas! What a refreshing little break from the heaviness of the M9! "I'm Ringo, my cousin was brutally murdered, sending me on a self-destructive revenge rampage" Oh right, Liam's here, he brought the angst
Whoever drew their raccoon portraits is automatically amazing for somehow making Ringo look exactly like Liam! Dying laughing before game even starts :D
Please God someone timestamp the part where matt mercer says "I look at this demented raccoon and think back to all the people who've screwed me over and done me wrong, and then I say okay sure" please. It's too perfect.
Sam: I don't know anything about cars. Me: that's ok. Very few people do Sam: describes Travis' character getting into the engine of a car. Me: oh.... he really doesn't... That's quite impressive...
Make this a thing. Nothing too big, maybe about the lenght of a Handbooker Helper episode, but I'm sure it would be glorious. A Brief Explanation is also a great title.
I love how amazingly quickly and heavily Matt gets into his character. When Sam started and the rest were still relaxed, Matt already got his face and mannerisms into his character there and then, and mostly doesn't seem to break character thereafter that much (even between time when he doesn't necissarily need to semi-constantly hold his character). Holy shit Matt is good at what he does!!
I find it much more impressive when they switch between characters and their normal voices without a break and like it's nothing, which Matt does all the time too.
@@ScoptOriginal Liam on the other hand owns whatever voice he has for his character the whole time. I remember how shocked I was to find he wasn't really English in Campaign 1.
This one-shot absolutely reaffirmed my affection for Marisha and Sam. Sam's a comedic genius for running such an insane fun and entertaining story where giggle fits took priority Marisha for giving into the humour and laughing like a maniac. I'm so used to her playing Beau that this was amazingly refreshing.
This was absolute chaos from beginning to end, nothing made sense, Sam was like a kid tweaking out on a sugar high..... and I loved every single second of it lmfao.
@@notsoaveragejoe2622 I saw like 2 minutes of one of the later ones, two super jackin' spies jumping cars between buildings lol. So goofy I just couldn't dig it lol.
45:00 the tiny touch of the green fire for that camera angle on the exploded exterminator is absolutely gold. Such a small detail but it had me absolutely rolling. So good!
I love absolutely everything about this one-shot but Sam's non-existent knowledge of cars had me in stitches pretty much the entire time. Quite sure “FRONT WINDOW?! I don’t even know the word ‘windhield’!” is the best sentence I have ever heard and I will cherish that memory forever :")
Well, critical roll is too PG to let him do that. Also, Matt would hold him responsible. Lets all be honest, though. Caleb would kill given the chance.
Always give your DMs a chance to be a player every once in a while. I love how our DM runs the game but because he's so good, it's always such a joy to have him as a player.
As a brand new Critter I'm working through the oneshots and Good GOD this was fucking chaos... My stomach hurts from laughing so much and I have fallen even further in love with these dorks.
I'm pretty sure that blowing the truck over the finish line was not part of the plan. You can see Sam facepalming when he realized exactly what his off-the-cuff weird thought produced... and it was epic!
Okay, for all that Sam's playing the "I don't know what i"m doing" card, 1:29:43 is a freaking masterful "...welp, THAT went weird, let's dial it back some" level of GMing. A+ work, Sam
And we got a bonus "Sam doesn't know shit about cars" gag when he said carbon dioxide XD This whole one-shot is just chaotic chaotic and it is gold all the way to the end
Liam’s quiet “It’s really not a problem for me” when Blair/Baldpaw is talking about how uncomfortable it is to rp getting intimate with Sam at 😂😂😂 Edit: 1:14:50
the cr guys are generally so comfortable with that which is one thing i really love about them. there are never any “ohh no what about masculinity!!” situations with them
"It's 2018, there is a lot of inter species relationships. You should.." [Travis laughs and drowns out Marisha] "I'm not saying that trash can't be hammered, i'm saying you can't make cubs that way". How does he just come up with that!?
Well... since he then described the engine to be there, it actually WAS an engine hood in the back. As Travis commented, this is very unusual for american build cars, but there are some german and italian models (most notably Porsche and Fiat 500) that have their trunk/boot in the front and their engine housing in the back.
@@QemeH It was an ice cream truck. with a back door that many pandas jumped through during the game. He immediately forgot that the engine is in the way, until it was relevant becouse the "front one" got destroyed. It was hillarious. I loved it.
This one-shot has exactly the same energy as me and my sister sitting on a floor playing with action figures when we were kids and I couldn't be happier with it.
I think we all need to send good thoughts (and money) to Grant Howitt, because thanks to his one page games, we got this magnificent moment of mayhem (and also the 3 Honey Heist one-shots)
Welcome to Sam Riege's Crash Pandas where the everything's made up and the points don't matter. ;) These one-shots are so much fun. This one had me laughing so hard. Thanks for putting this together Sam!
This is the greatest thing I've ever watched! The fact that Sam hardly knew what was going on, the complete lack of car knowledge, and the randomness of being raccoons and the random items they all had at the beginning made for a hilariously chaotic one-shot.
Emmy Award-winning Sam Riegel: A few caveats before we begin.... Number one: I don't know *anything* about cars... or racing, or engines, or wheels... or DM'ing... O_O
I have watched this 3 times now & Ringo is still my favorite introduction. Mainly because the voice Liam chose felt the most natural to the character portrait.
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line Engines pumping and thumping in time The green light flashes, the flags go up Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
I think the mad respect should go to the fans and critters. Sure the show opens up the avenue for these charities to get the publicity needed to earn donations, but I think it's the amazingly generous critters that deserve that respect more than the platform of Critical Role itself. I mean it's insane how much money these guys can generate just from being a show on the internet and it's always for a good cause. I love Critical Role for opening up this avenue for charities, but I respect the fans for supporting them!
If you see it from the perspective of the charities, it takes a lot of effort to get word out for people to donate to an organization. With the reach that this show provides and the insane generosity of the community they have developed from this show alone that can earn thousands of dollars for a cause, I think the cast deserves some credit. And they do it in such an entertaining way that everyone can enjoy while feeling good about being a contributor to a cause! Have some positivity in your life buddy! We're all just trying to make the world a better place.
Its certainly not unheard of, but it definitely is a very cruel way to view the world. If you woke up one day and found out you had a life threatening illness and had nothing you could do about it, you'd likely wish for help. Its really a matter of empathy above anything else, which evidently, you lack.

I love absolutely everything about this one-shot but Sam's non-existent knowledge of cars had me in stitches pretty much the entire time. Quite sure “FRONT WINDOW?! I don’t even know the word ‘windhield’!” is the best sentence I have ever heard and I will cherish that memory forever :")
27:54 Matt literally said “I can certainly try”
i lost it when i heard that
Still beaten by Matt saying, "For you I will be the bottom!" and everyone managed to refrain from comment.
When you realise you DM too much
You can take the Mercer out of the DM...
They're getting self aware
7:19 When you see Matt making this face, you know that he is more in character playing a racoon than you ever did playing your own D&D characters.
44:58 Whoever put that green fire over the wrecked car during the live stream deserves a raise
I was hoping it got noticed by more than just one or two!
That's what we said! XD
"Two in the Granny, one in the panty"
Sweet innocent mercer, what happened to you?
Who’s mercer? I only see 5 raccoons on there racing for dear life.
I thought it was 2 in the granny one in the fanny? :D
@@BluethunderNo1 That's even worse xD
Well it is probably liam forcing Matt to write smut for him
*we* did
1:13:50
Matt: "Two in the granny one in the panty!"
*Cast groans in disgust*
Sam: "MERCER! This is for CHARITY!!"
Yeah. I expected that from sam or liam. Maybe Laura. But from mercer? He needs to let loose more often cause that was hilarious
Oh so that's what he said! Lmao.
"The car does not explode... FOR A MOMENT...AND IT DEFINITELY EXPLODES"
I was eating when he said that. I was not eating afterwards.
This made me do a legit spit take with my adult beverage of choice. Mercer-as-player is my favorite.
This was the best disney movie i ever saw.
Oh shit..... that would be epic.....
I'd pay good money to watch a movie of the pixar team animating a 2 hour voice acting improv by critical role
Its because its Pixar's
This... actually would be a good one. Over the Hedge crossed with Fast & Furious
@@tomaszskowronski1406 actually the summary of this game
I’m dying because as soon as Sam starts his beginning monologue it’s like Matt is IMMEDIATELY possessed by a raccoon
Everyone leaning in together and blowing air all over eachother is so deeply pre-covid
Yeah them all blowing the car over the finish line at 2:42:00 would never happen today, but it was so hilarious lmao
Liam goes straight homicidal in one shots xD
Well, critical roll is too PG to let him do that. Also, Matt would hold him responsible.
Lets all be honest, though. Caleb would kill given the chance.
He has nothing on chutney
@@VitaNewbo “PG” need i remind you of the gelded dick-handed Traveler cleric?
@@VitaNewbo Friendly reminder of Vox Machina's campaign against the elderly lol.
@@VitaNewbo This aged well
Caleb DID go straight homicidal when he got the chance
It's always so sweet to see how serious/excited Mercer gets about getting to be a player! :D
I've also noticed how proud he is to see his friends who when they started had never played dnd, to now Dming a social platform.
Always give your DMs a chance to be a player every once in a while. I love how our DM runs the game but because he's so good, it's always such a joy to have him as a player.
1:19:10 why do I get the feeling this was just an excuse to throw things at Matthew Mercer?
Revenge on the DM... I understand
As a brand new Critter I'm working through the oneshots and Good GOD this was fucking chaos... My stomach hurts from laughing so much and I have fallen even further in love with these dorks.
Gooba, Izzie, Rhinestone, and Reggie all come out of Pixar then along comes Ringo from HBO.
....Reggie? Really?
I mean Izzie did kill a guy.
"Potassium is a good source of Potassium, you're very smart to do that." - Sam Riegel 2018 53:50
Potassium. It's a good source of potassium.
I've heard potassium is actually the best source of potassium
@@haichie1341 - y'all are missing the beginning of the sentence.
I love how Sam being a GM it's like playing Make Belief when you were 9.
Well, I guess that's tabletop RPGs, right?
UssyV except tabletop RPGs have rules. When your friend pretend shoots you, you cant say "nuh uh! I blocked it with my invincible armor!"
@@Laekri Make Belief with rules then
When it's done right, yeah :)
I'm pretty sure that blowing the truck over the finish line was not part of the plan. You can see Sam facepalming when he realized exactly what his off-the-cuff weird thought produced... and it was epic!
Yes!! All the car movements and random obstacles and stuff were SO much like little kids playing cars. Made me so happy
26:23 ‘YOU HAVE A GRAPPLING HOOK?!?.... I HAVE A BANANA...’ 😂🤣
Little did she know how that banana would save the day in the end.
1:11:13 Holy shit, Matt put some real strength into that line. It just shows how much fun games like these can just have some amazing moments.
TH-cam decided to make this video the first Critical Role content I've ever seen. I'm in.
Bold choice by the algorithm, but it seems to know you well!
Okay, for all that Sam's playing the "I don't know what i"m doing" card, 1:29:43 is a freaking masterful "...welp, THAT went weird, let's dial it back some" level of GMing. A+ work, Sam
Yes!! That was such quick thinking, pulling it back on track while still incorporating a game breaking player decision into the narrative
And we got a bonus "Sam doesn't know shit about cars" gag when he said carbon dioxide XD This whole one-shot is just chaotic chaotic and it is gold all the way to the end
Ohhhh now I see what he did there! Thanks for pointing that out... yeah that was getting uncomfortable for a minute
I love how Matt’s character has a twitching eye. Such nice attention to detail.
And how he keep scratching his nose like hes on crack...
And how he holds his arm as if in a cast? Mercer, king of the little details!
1:00:26 "Got a lot of friends that don't actually exist, so I've learned to... love everyone" is possibly the best one-liner I've ever heard.
abso-fucking-lutely. wifey and I laughed and awwed at this simultaneously.
Liam’s quiet “It’s really not a problem for me” when Blair/Baldpaw is talking about how uncomfortable it is to rp getting intimate with Sam at 😂😂😂
Edit: 1:14:50
UNDERRATED MOMENT
I had to go back and watch it again, it's such a cute moment 😍😊😊
the cr guys are generally so comfortable with that which is one thing i really love about them. there are never any “ohh no what about masculinity!!” situations with them
To be fair, Sam is Liam's husband
@@canniloni That guy is Sam’s brother, it’s pretty weird nothing to do with “toxic masculinity”
I love that Marisha played an Instagram user and Laura played a Tumblr user
Sam is a master of chaos. This was amazing.
Chaotic Good.
No, his alignment is Chaotic Great.
Chaotic President
In this game I learned that Vin Diesel is a furry and Matthew Mercer is a bottom.
He specifics that he is a bottom for Liam so probably a switch if anything
this collection of words is something i never could’ve predicted reading but it’s brought me such joy
Vin Diesel is a furry? More like Vin Wiesel.
@@lunatrans424 I mean.... to be fair, i dont think marisha would let him be a top... just sayin
In this game I learned that Vin Diesel is a furry and Matthew Mercer is a bottom.
"It's 2018, there is a lot of inter species relationships. You should.." [Travis laughs and drowns out Marisha]
"I'm not saying that trash can't be hammered, i'm saying you can't make cubs that way".
How does he just come up with that!?
Marisha said "you should get woke"
Because....he is Travis Willingham.
Sam is the best GM--he just says yes to everything that will make the game more awesome
Love that you wrote GM instead of DM, because we all know who gets the best DM title!
@@annemichelle8660 Ashley
Blair when he has to seduce the old lady: "It's still Sam, you know what I mean? How do you guys do this?"
Liam: "It's really not a problem for me."
Traci is back. And she is a... raccon?
That would be the work of a Reincarnate spell
Half raccoon, half skunk apparently.
Yeah i feel like a huge opportunity was missed by not calling her that XD
Trash digger, question mark?
Sam: Any questions before we start guys?
Laura: Where do babies come from?
Blair Bird says the woman has had a kid
@@ellerealyay1293 Pretty sure that was the joke.
21:05 "Back hood" is Sam's "Reverse Math".
Well... since he then described the engine to be there, it actually WAS an engine hood in the back. As Travis commented, this is very unusual for american build cars, but there are some german and italian models (most notably Porsche and Fiat 500) that have their trunk/boot in the front and their engine housing in the back.
When your butler brings you your car in the morning, what does HE call it!?
@@QemeH It was an ice cream truck. with a back door that many pandas jumped through during the game. He immediately forgot that the engine is in the way, until it was relevant becouse the "front one" got destroyed. It was hillarious. I loved it.
This one-shot has exactly the same energy as me and my sister sitting on a floor playing with action figures when we were kids and I couldn't be happier with it.
I think we all need to send good thoughts (and money) to Grant Howitt, because thanks to his one page games, we got this magnificent moment of mayhem (and also the 3 Honey Heist one-shots)
watching laura lose her mind cause of laughing so hard at 2:42:40 is just amazing. ive watched it so many times
SAME
Welcome to Sam Riege's Crash Pandas where the everything's made up and the points don't matter. ;)
These one-shots are so much fun. This one had me laughing so hard. Thanks for putting this together Sam!
Best. Comment. EVER!!
The points don't matter. The points don't matter. The points don't matter.
I continue to believe that Sam needs to GM a game of Paranoia.
This is the greatest thing I've ever watched! The fact that Sam hardly knew what was going on, the complete lack of car knowledge, and the randomness of being raccoons and the random items they all had at the beginning made for a hilariously chaotic one-shot.
not enough people are acknowledging how accurate liam's raccoon growl was
The closer I look at Sam, the more he reminds me of a young Tim Curry.
I did not need this. Now cannot unsee.
Smashing
I’ve always thought that.
SAME
Emmy Award-winning Sam Riegel: A few caveats before we begin.... Number one: I don't know *anything* about cars... or racing, or engines, or wheels... or DM'ing... O_O
WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT VOICE MARISHA!
Makes me think that "Rhinestone" is the Raccoon version of "Tracey"
Altyrell idk who that is lol I’ve seen that a few times in this thread.
"Tracey" was a "persona" that Marisha kind of created in the most recent Critical Role Episode.
I have watched this 3 times now & Ringo is still my favorite introduction. Mainly because the voice Liam chose felt the most natural to the character portrait.
Im so painfully aware that Sam is the only one not drunk and I kind of love it because he may as well be.
Reluctantly crouched at the starting line
Engines pumping and thumping in time
The green light flashes, the flags go up
Churning and burning, they yearn for the cup
Nice Cake reference
THEY DEFTLY MANEUVER
AND MUSCLE FOR RANK
FUEL BURNING FAST ON AN E M P T Y TANK
RECKLESS AND WILD
THEY POUR THROUGH THE TURNS
Who would win?
This crew of 5 Racoons and a Skunk?
Or
The Honey Heist Crew of 4 Bears and a Honey Badger?
Liam Las Vegas can drive better than any raccoon.
This would be a badass one-shot.
Mewtwo ..... the bears. They’re fucking bears
I wanna see this so bad
Javier Perez glad I wasn’t the only logical one.
I love the fact that this show has always been so charitable. Gotta give mad respect to everyone behind critical role, an absolute wonderful bunch
To be fair, without their input and the incentives given these donations would have never happened.
I think the mad respect should go to the fans and critters. Sure the show opens up the avenue for these charities to get the publicity needed to earn donations, but I think it's the amazingly generous critters that deserve that respect more than the platform of Critical Role itself. I mean it's insane how much money these guys can generate just from being a show on the internet and it's always for a good cause. I love Critical Role for opening up this avenue for charities, but I respect the fans for supporting them!
If you see it from the perspective of the charities, it takes a lot of effort to get word out for people to donate to an organization. With the reach that this show provides and the insane generosity of the community they have developed from this show alone that can earn thousands of dollars for a cause, I think the cast deserves some credit. And they do it in such an entertaining way that everyone can enjoy while feeling good about being a contributor to a cause! Have some positivity in your life buddy! We're all just trying to make the world a better place.
I do not think people who cannot help themselves deserve it. Not a bizzare or unheard of concept.
Its certainly not unheard of, but it definitely is a very cruel way to view the world. If you woke up one day and found out you had a life threatening illness and had nothing you could do about it, you'd likely wish for help. Its really a matter of empathy above anything else, which evidently, you lack.
It's a shame Matt can't play more often. His acting in this episode is incredible
