Aww you missed one of my favourites! Episode 129 right as Matt is first describing the plane of fire. Great compilation, this must have taken so much time and work and energy, like holy moly this is pretty all-encompassing and honestly _very_ impressive! Lovely work!
Oh no I was so worried I'd miss one! That's gonna haunt me forever, haha. I've just looked it up, is it the "Makin it work!" around 1:39:32? If so, at least we can immortalise it in these comments.
Yeah. My favorite is the one where it devolved so much Laura had to appreciate it Sam - "makiway", Marisha - "tingalingaling" Laura - "Hahaha, I love us!"
Travis makes a joke -> Everyone joins in on it -> Sam takes it to ridiculous levels -> Everyone becomes reflexively more and more ridiculous with it. That is the lifecycle of a Critical Role inside joke 😂
The moments when Matt gives his spouse the Neutral Face of Displeasure are just gold 😂 and the way Marisha hides her face because she's laughing so hard.
I making my way, I'm making my way. From the top of this shitty mountain To the bottom of this God damn field. I'm making my wayyaaaayy I'm making my way.
Last's night's episode had one of the absolute best "Makin-Ma-Way" moments ever. Taliesin: I'm gonna slowly make my way to -- Marisha, Laura, Ashely, Robbie, Travis: Maaaaaaaaaaaakin-Maaaaa-Waaaaaaaaaaaaay
5:57 It's the glare, the look of a man beholden to some viral chant seemingly soldiering through the way making ritual without the enthusiasm of a neophyte. He just does it through parallel processing and continues on, much like how many people grant blessings to one who has sneezed in the presence of others.
3:11 Travis begrudgingly giving in and doing it after no one else did it.... It's so interesting how it evolved thooo. From changing the lyrics and adding the diddle-lee-diddle-doo, to a shorter version that still caught at least Matt off guard, to becoming an expected thing, to applying it to other words.... great. Also I only joined in c2e131 (snakingtheirway), and when I recently watched all the Narrative Telephones i thought it stemmed from there, but it's been around so much longer!
New fan of critical role here, just learning about this running gag. I can’t believe I didn’t notice this happen once in the entirety of Ashley’s one-shot, but I assure you after watching this video I’ll never miss it again.
I'm watching the latest campaign, and I needed this catalogue of how it deteriorated from a whole song to just real quick and light "makinmaway" and sometimes it's JUST the noises/notes of it and I love that. I also love Liam's "we're just inside jokes"
I would agree, if I had not witnessed aabria putting up with exu with an grace that was plain unreal... Nothing beats the pretty much exclusively chaotic neutral exu party
They just know how much they can poke his buttons before he starts adding hit points to the boss (most of the time). They're also extremely good friends, and when you know someone long enough, you know what kind of stuff they can tolerate.
I love seeing their friendship. At there age (I’m in my 50’s) usually this kind of stuff is left in their college years. But here they are absolutely crushing it as adults but still keeping the joy of childhood at the forefront of their lives. This is why I love these guys. Pure joy and unapologetic friendship for one another. Thank you CR!!
As much as i love sam focusing as hard as he can to make the most of the "Makinmyway" jokes, i love Taliesin's delivery of the initial line and then waiting for someone to say it and then just saying "Thank you." and continuing what he was going to say lol
i keep having to pause this video every couple of minutes. this brings me so much joy and im not in the best mood rn so thank u for this. i cant imagine how much work this would've been but youve done it so well, everything from the compiling to the editing and transitioning between each person as they "makinmaway" or "teedle loo" its beautiful
I watched campaign 2 first and then could not stop singing "making my way" when I watched campaign 1... It was so weird when the cast didn't also do it. This video made me laugh so much, thanks for taking the time to put it all together. My favorite one was Marisha getting in trouble and hiding.. lol.

@@nightymein I was actually thinking of the one at about 53:49, “there is a pouring river of lava that is slowly snaking it’s way-“ “ snakinitsway”
@@jabisdumb oh wow it's a double whammy, how did I miss them?! you're right, it's a great moment. thanks for making me aware!
@@nightymein makinmeaware!
@@nightymein Snakinitsway was my absolute favorite time they did that bit!
I love how it just slowly devolved from actually singing that song a little to just "makinmaway"
"mrup"?
Yeah. My favorite is the one where it devolved so much Laura had to appreciate it
Sam - "makiway", Marisha - "tingalingaling"
Laura - "Hahaha, I love us!"
honestly devolved into unintelligible sounds at some point
To just "mkn" lately :D
Didileedoo
I love how you can see it go from being a recurring joke to just a reflex.
my dad and I have the one shared critter thing where we both go "doo doo doo" when anyone says that
Travis makes a joke -> Everyone joins in on it -> Sam takes it to ridiculous levels -> Everyone becomes reflexively more and more ridiculous with it. That is the lifecycle of a Critical Role inside joke 😂
its becom a reflex for me aswell
@@IceMetalPunk we play dungeons and dragoooOOOOOoooOoOooooons
It is a reflex for me
I love how it went from 🎶making my way🎶 to just a high pitched "meymawa"
It's my favorite 🤣 I watch Campaign 1 now and in my head I add "makinmyway" everytime 😂
One syllable. No pauses.
Can we appreciate how whenever Matt was speaking, they ALWAYS made a much softer and unobtrusive "makin my way"? Golden players right there.
And yet somehow no less disruptive
They should start a new trend whenever Matt says "And I need you...", then everyone else to chime in with a "And I miss you"
i might pass away if they did that 😂😂
I need this in my life
YES
Yes this 🙌
@@cora-illus passingmyway
This video is 8 minutes of just pure serotonin enhanced audio.
This is a very accurate description. :)
Travis at 1:12 : STOP
Narrator's voice: they did not, in fact, stop
I love that Travis literally starts the next one after that moment.
@@nickthedreamer4434 Better is that Travis started _the whole bit_
My favourite ones are when it’s so fast it isn’t even recognisable as words and is just “mrup”.
The one tiny one with a question mark while Matt is introing the show killed me.
When they don’t want to interrupt, but they need to acknowledge the phrase, just “mknmw” bwrbled out 😂
yessss the one at 5:04 is incredible
Sam’s dead serious expression after saying “shakinmyway” and Beau saying “HES COLLAPSING THE TUNNEL” KILLED me
5:56
I love Talesin's smile of fucking anger as he realizes what he's done.
"MAKIN MY WAY"
"Thank you, okay..."
This is everything I ever wanted
Now we need an "It's been a while" one!
You read my mind.
I love how they even did thatbduring the State of the Role from a couple weeks ago
i couldn’t remember the other one. thank you!
th-cam.com/video/WUHAJTiBUoE/w-d-xo.html
Love to the critters who put these together
i love that it started as actually singing then devolved to saying three words as fast as possible
Marisha: doo doo
Matt: *DEATH STARE*
The moments when Matt gives his spouse the Neutral Face of Displeasure are just gold 😂 and the way Marisha hides her face because she's laughing so hard.
It has become a pavlovian response at this point
Can't wait for the next live show where an entire sea of critters just screams out "MAKINMAWAY"
I need this to happen!!!! When is the n4xt live show?!?!?!
Sam’s concerned face parroting shakinmyway and quakinmyway killed me
Like it was a part of his brain he couldn’t control while he was trying to focus on the serious task at hand 😂
@@annafantasia feel that one so much
I love that Ashley always finishes the song with whatever’s going on
Marisha physically hiding from Matt after her lil "doo doo" at 2:04 🥺😍
One of my favorite moments 😂
I'm literally crying laughing, they're so cute and funny!!! 😭😭
I'm dying laughing from the wheezes from the rest of the cast losing it in quick succession at that same moment
His look was like, "Zip it! Zippy zippaaay!'
Matt's face: "I will actually kill you."
Also Matt's face: "You're fucking adorable, and I love you."
"Making my way to the worm."
She is either fighting a monster or drinking tequila.
I love that Marisha's enjoyment of the joke never dimmed as time went on.
I love how it gradually gets faster as they try and get it past Matt lol
I am so happy the joke made it into the animated series!
SAME!
There's an animated series??????
@@anonymouspalmtree Look up "The Legend of Vox Machina"
I making my way,
I'm making my way.
From the top of this shitty mountain
To the bottom of this God damn field.
I'm making my wayyaaaayy
I'm making my way.
Wait what, was it in the series?
I swear i dont remember, but im gonna guess season 2 maybe, scanlan walkin somewhere, right?
The way half of them have devolved into just knee-jerk Animal Crossing noises
Last's night's episode had one of the absolute best "Makin-Ma-Way" moments ever.
Taliesin: I'm gonna slowly make my way to --
Marisha, Laura, Ashely, Robbie, Travis: Maaaaaaaaaaaakin-Maaaaa-Waaaaaaaaaaaaay

This comment is as good as the video
He’s collapsing the tunnel.
You know it’s “bad” when Matt says it while Sam is talking lol
7:05 Matt joined in and finally the group was harmonized in unity 🤧
Ashley, Laura, Sam, and Travis without fail: makinmyway
Liam, Taliesin, and Matt: 😐
95% of critical role is just these goofs trying to make eachother laugh, we just get to join them on the ride 😂
The other 5% it's getting emotional trauma and sobbing :'D
@@Kirayni oh, for sure, both happy and sad sobbing on my end, but sobbing nonetheless :p
10% gravitas 90% bullshit
Can you imagine if they had to pay royalties every time they said that.
I love that in the middle of all that is just that CADUCEUS part
6:55 is the best one yet. They all harmonized
3:11 Travis begrudgingly giving in and doing it after no one else did it....
It's so interesting how it evolved thooo. From changing the lyrics and adding the diddle-lee-diddle-doo, to a shorter version that still caught at least Matt off guard, to becoming an expected thing, to applying it to other words.... great.
Also I only joined in c2e131 (snakingtheirway), and when I recently watched all the Narrative Telephones i thought it stemmed from there, but it's been around so much longer!
It's in Beau's story (ep 6 of the first season) at 44.44 :)
I was watching Vox Machina and it was present all the way back then- it just wasn’t abused back then lol
@@seanmetts7341 Someone once said that it even dated back to the home game (pre-stream) so it could potentially be THE oldest inside joke in CR.
i think the only one that its missing its Sam's "snaking its way" with the lava river xDD
And now it's evolved into an actual song, I love it.
Knowing they were sitting on it since 2020 really explains why the second half of this video is mostly Ashley, Sam, and Laura doing it
Vanessa carlton needs to do a version of making my way.... 🤣 🤣 🤣 🤣
New fan of critical role here, just learning about this running gag. I can’t believe I didn’t notice this happen once in the entirety of Ashley’s one-shot, but I assure you after watching this video I’ll never miss it again.

Sometimes it's just a "meep" lmao
You can see the transition to "funny reference", "getting old", "oh my lord please stop this joke", "Pavlov's Dog"
4:54 He just knew and pointed at them.
And the "Oh no, it's evolving" gets me everytime
PURE DEDICATION PURE SEROTONIN
the way this running joke turned reflex became an actual song in the Vox Machina animated series called Making My Way
Matt must be the most patient DM in the world.
I would agree, if I had not witnessed aabria putting up with exu with an grace that was plain unreal... Nothing beats the pretty much exclusively chaotic neutral exu party
They just know how much they can poke his buttons before he starts adding hit points to the boss (most of the time).
They're also extremely good friends, and when you know someone long enough, you know what kind of stuff they can tolerate.
I love how they started to say it quicker as to not take up more time on the joke but it ended up making it much more funnier
I love how Ashley always does it for herself 😂
I love when running gags go so long in a group that it gets shorter and shorter until they’re unintelligible to anyone outside of the group
I love when Matt participates like at 7:05 XD
The slow progression from human to Beaker from The Muppets is astounding lol
My new favorite is from C3, as Tal describes "I...sloooooowly make my way..." and on cue, the entire cast sings "Maaaaaaaakin' my waaaaaaaaaay..."
When was this?
@@ArceneStorms C3E11 - th-cam.com/video/mciV3mbU-Wo/w-d-xo.html
The "mrup?!" Just starting to sound like chirping cats 🤣💀
As a DM myself, I feel Matt's expressions in my *soul.*
"Makin ma way-"
*Laura you are DROWNING.*
I love seeing their friendship. At there age (I’m in my 50’s) usually this kind of stuff is left in their college years. But here they are absolutely crushing it as adults but still keeping the joy of childhood at the forefront of their lives. This is why I love these guys. Pure joy and unapologetic friendship for one another. Thank you CR!!
It just continually de-evolves into just a mumble and I love it
"10% gravitas, and 90% bullshit."
That's it, that's the show. God I love these dorks.
The cast of Critical Role really misses the opportunity to respond "and I miss you!" whenever Matt says "I need you [to roll a...]".
I knew one of you dorks was gonna immortalize this joke at some point.
Travis: *STOP IT*
He started it!!!
@@SingingSealRiana AND YOU'RE PERPETUATING, YOU'RE GROUNDED
Loved it! Even got Ashley's one-shot in there. What's missing is Exandria Unlimited incidents where Ashley and Matt did it. Mostly Ashley.
"snakintheirway" killed me 😂
I guarantee matt was like "no more" and they kept doing it anyway in spite
I wonder if Vanessa Carlton knows about Critical Role.
She should at this point
I love watching the raw frustration in Matt's face when they do this.
As much as i love sam focusing as hard as he can to make the most of the "Makinmyway" jokes, i love Taliesin's delivery of the initial line and then waiting for someone to say it and then just saying "Thank you." and continuing what he was going to say lol
3:50 legit sounds like an error popup sound, they all have the exact same pitch and duration! XD
I love how part of it is trying to sneak it past Matt. 😂
The comedic timing at 2:03 is literal perfection
3:15 you could see the gears turning in Travis's head: "nobody said it... do I say it... imma say it... makinmaway"
So Travis is responsible for creating the joke, but Sam is responsible for making it a noise
It's just an instant Pavlovian response
I love how Ashley always adds a little bit more to the bit
i didnt remember sams remixes and now i cant stop laughing
This was a well needed boost of serotonin after a long day
Everyone Pavlov'd each other and now they just react with "makinmyway" LMAO
I feel like the critters probably all do it too now.
I literally can't hear someone say making my way without immediately thinking "MAKINMAWEY"
My online game is mostly critters and it’s almost obligatory at this point.
@@shazade258 that’s so awesome. It’s also obligatory at this point for Travis to say “we play dungeons and dragons!”
I ABSOLUTELY DO THIS (I might annoy my dm a lil bit)
I swear to god, you could rename this show “Seven Middle Schoolers and an Exasperated Drama Teacher.”
I love the 30 seconds in this video tht is just same finding various variations of "making my way" without anyone else adding onto it
These guys must be the happiest people in the world. My heart feels both full for them and also hurts because I wish I had this
Marisha hiding her face from Matt gets me every time 😆
Sam doing it with anything that rhymes with "making" for that little bit was glorious and I wish he still did it lol
I love how the melody slowly disappeared.
I love how it started as just a vocal stim from Travis and is now just the biggest on running joke ever
🎶"maykamahway"🎶
so it was TRAVIS who started it
Travis starts all the things. He also started 'It's been a while" and "WEPLAYDUNGEONSANDDRAGONS!". All hail our meme king.
Hopped back here after those latest episodes of TLOVM...
I love these guys so much.
It’s totally not relevant, at all, in the slightest, but GOOD LORD these people are hot.
Amen to that!
Right?! The bi panic this whole group gives should be illegal
@@Kirayni bi panic? more like bi delight!
@@najadetwo22 you know what? You're right, it's delightful
@@Kirayni debiful
I love how at the end there's only Marisha laughing at the joke, yet everyone still makes it.
i keep having to pause this video every couple of minutes. this brings me so much joy and im not in the best mood rn so thank u for this. i cant imagine how much work this would've been but youve done it so well, everything from the compiling to the editing and transitioning between each person as they "makinmaway" or "teedle loo" its beautiful
thank you and I hope you feel better soon
I love the devolution of the joke as time went. From creating parodies to "makin ma way" to "bleh"
My favorite is in campaign three where someone says slowly making their way and the whole cast goes “maaaaakkiiinnggggg my waaaaaaaaaayyy”
great editing, really fun to watch:)
The looks on their faces when they realize they said "making my way"
0:35 Ashley Johnson is so freaking precious!
Snakintheirway is my absolute favorite 😂 this was just pure happiness
Even Matt joins in, that is amazing.

Man, I'd freaking love a full cover by Ashley. Her voice is so great!
It just makes me so happy
Makehappyway
the amount of joy this video has brought me 😭💀
Somewhere on Earth Vanessa Carlton is endlessly sneezing & doesn't know why
