Keyleth: stumbles for a brief moment.
Jay: Intense 'we're basically gods' flashbacks
I spit out my drink at that part.
"At least she didn't jump." I'M FUCKING DYING OVER HERE!!!
@@nickthedreamer4434 He made that sound WAY darker than it needed to lmao
I guess it's Matt's turn to "Roll the Dice."
'...It's too many dice for me to roll.' -Matt Mercer
"at least she didn't jump"
me: having war flashbacks to campaign 1
Spoilers for campaign 1 and potentionally the show
Is Keylith the one who jumped and fell in lava too? I can't recall.
@@BNOBNO14 YES LMAO She did those things on two different occasions. The lava was around episode 70-ish I think and the cliff/goldfish moment was around 80-90 ish.
"Thinking of a rhyme for dead dragon. Cause I... I guess we're killing one." Love this line from Scanlan.
A perfect line to encapsulate Scalan. He a goof off, but their is a subtle change when he gets serious.
Just embodies that sharp whit and heart.
Jay: "They're a bunch of nerdy ass voice actors who play dungeons and dragons."
Me with Muscle Memory: WE PLAY DUNGEONS AND DRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAG-OOOONNNS!!!
DND BEYOOONNNNND
DEY DOOK URRR JERBS!!!
I did it too
WE PLAY DUR AN DUR!!!!!!!!!
WEPLAYDUNGEONSANDRAGOOOOOOOONS!
Jay: “I shall do my research and summarise these voice actors most well known works! How hard can it be?”
*opens IMDB*
Jay: “well…. crap.”
I first legit wanted to praise this Show
for using the Age-Classification it has in a 'natural feeling way',
totally unlike High Guardian Spice,
but then i took it back.
I see many issues, including: The Bard-Character; i get where that concept is coming from, i really do (i know that much
about D&D); but its just not funny or anything. What a useless Character.
Theyre falling in a Trap that i legit think they literally knew exists: The Trap of
Misusing the '18'-Classification.
@@slevinchannel7589 scanlan is the best part of campaign 1 mechanically and story-wise hes not useless lmao.
@@labradude Youre missing the point of my comment completly;
as i'd expect of someone who ends his comment with lmao.
@@slevinchannel7589- this is part of the characters progression story. He starts out this way. They all sorta start out as eff ups.
@@slevinchannel7589 well fuck, I guess they'll have to replay 8 years of d&d games to change the story.
Couple of Easter Eggs, the two kids were voiced by Sam's daughter & Liam's son. The Murder Hobos, is the name of the group that the lead animator plays in D&D.
Speaking on the topic of "How to describe D&D to the older generation", my buddy got his job to allow him and the other employees that played, a conference room and a monthly snack budget of $200 because he pitched it to them as a "team building exercise that encourages creative problem solving and teamwork overcoming obstacles."
Structured group improv is another decent way to describe it.
OMG, "team building exercise"! I need to try this at work!
I got props at work for 'keeping team morale high'. With Warhammer FRP.
D&D is a much more effective alternative to all the BS "team building exercieses" many companies force their employees to do. Good job, my dude!
theatre improv with dice, is my go to.
"Don't fall Keyleth."
"It's difficult terrain..."
"You don't even know the half of it."
THAT TOOK ME OUT. GOLDFISH FLASHBACKS.
Goldfish flashbacks indeed lol
Marisha's the creative director. Same position she had at Geek&Sundry before they split off and made their own company. She's awesome.
Critical Role's show is up. pReview'd's reaction is up. I've never been more excited to have another grown man whom I've never met call me a "peach".
Preach Peach ! Accidentally introduced my Gf to them and she’s been asking all day if their reaction to Vox is up yet
She calls them “our reaction bois “
"I'm a Critter, he's not."
Under my breathe - "Not yet." :)
It happens to the best of us and I say that from experience. Critical role is my company into DND and nearly 5 years later I do not regret it
As soon as you said (about Keyleth) "At least she didn't jump", my TH-cam cut to an ad for goldfish crackers. I swear their algorithm has gained sentience.
Travis has actually been playing Thor for ten years in various animated and video game material. When he was brought back in for the Marvel's Avengers game, commemorating his tenth year as the character, he decided to get a tattoo to honor it. Instead of getting something typical like Mjolnir, he got the old Germanic/Norse runic word that means "to be worthy" on the side of his wrist. He said he got it so that every morning whenever he brushes his teeth or shaves and sees it in the mirror, it serves as a reminder to himself that he's worthy of the life he has - amazing career, great group of friends, and a wonderful wife (Laura Bailey) and son (Ronin).
Travis is a national treasure
He's also voiced Hulk in the Super Hero Squad show
You know the perfect character that incapsulates the Iconic idea of what Grog embodies with Travis' favorite catchphrase in Critical role Vox Machina campaign
*"I WOULD LIKE TO.......... RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAGE !!!!"*
They were fully funded for their original goal of $750,000 in 45 minutes of the Kickstarter being up
They hit 1mil within an hour of it being up
3mil within 10 hours
The final total was 11.3mil
The rat bastards.... their kickstater went live about an hour after mine. I was just looking for $4,500 and barely made it. Critical Role sucked all the air out of the room. Stupid uber talented adorable weirdos.
That is insane and worth it.
Jay being a Laura Bailey Stan just absolutely kills me. We all worship Laura. ♥️
* Cue the harp noise * Laura Bailey! 🤩
[insert angelic choir here]
@@k_enigmatic6605 I was expecting it!! Every time someone says her name.. Harp!
CUPCAKES
@@Reblwitoutacause Between that and leaving The Game Awards twice just to come play DnD she is nerd through and through.
I have called it 'poker night' for years! And after episode 3, Adam is so going to cosplay 'No Mercy Percy'.
Nerd poker is the exact same words I've used to describe game night. Thanks, Jay!
Ashley Johnson was in Growing Pains not Family Ties, she was also the Forensic Scientist in Blindspot
Thank you. Was looking to see of anyone else made this comment before me
Also, the waitres at the end of the first Avengers movie. Of course, didn't know who she was at the time. And Growing Pains was so long ago, Not until I watched the shows theme again did I see it.
WAIT, SHE WAS!?
I watched that as a kid! XD
@@duanegiddings4981 Wait what? How did I not know this?
@@jamescandalino3458 Yep,, even got a ine to be interviewed by a reporter where she thanks Cap.
Didn’t know this was happening. So excited for your reactions.
Side note, the beginning of the video, when it went all Gregorian Chant, has now inspired me to make a Cleric for the Church of the Oxford Comma. His name will be Ford Ox (because Ox, Ford) and he will be a Knowledge Domain Cleric
Fun detail: the kids in the village were voiced by Sam and Liam's kids.
Oh no my heart
"The tenth doctor is in this..."
*Smiles like a girl getting her first valentine*
Yeah, I felt that
Per usual Vax rolled high on his stealth check which explains why Liam didn't get any intro by Jay
🤣🤣🤣🤣
He did talk about Liam, saying how he voiced Illadan, now he didn't name him as Vax, just said he plays their rogue
"I'm totally Percy!" Oh... oh no...
Will be interesting to see how this develops
It warms my cold dead heart to see Jay fan boying over Critical Role.
Same here
Jay: The cupcake moment.
You mean the moment Laura Bailey won D&D?
The moment that made a certain trickster go 'oh yeah, she's good alright'
"Don't fall!"
"...you don't know the half of it."
Also, does NOT surprise me the guys do RP. Good on ya!
Welcome to the critter family, Adam....one of us! 🧡 the saga only gets better from here
ONE OF US ONE OF US ONE OF US
"I think [Laura Bailey] is everyone's favorite?" I mean... he's not wrong.
The sheer KNOWING panic of that “don’t fall, Keyleth!!” cracked me the hell up 😂
The animators, unbeknownst to Matt, animated an NPC in each applicable episode that Matt uses his voice or his voice with an accent, to look like him.
He was amused when he found out, it's almost a play on the "Sams Matt shirt" joke.
Ashley Johnson is also Gwen Tennyson in Ben 10 Alien Force through Omniverse
They had to homebrew the gunslinger class for Jaffe/Percy when they transitioned their game from Pathfinder at home to 5e when they started streaming.
I laughed when Adam mentioned Tiny Tina from Borderlands. She is voiced by Ashly Burch. Ashly is a friend of Critical Role, has been on the streams and live shows and is also a writer for this animated series!
As well as being the guest on-stream when THAT ONE THING happened in C2
@@tylerts97 Doh! Of course! Long may he reign!
She's also one of the writers for the show
@@mattr7994 Yes. I believe I included that.
Adam, episode 1: I don't know anything about Critical Role.
That line in light of Adam in episode 12 of this is hysterical.
David Tennant's best line ever.
*slams hand on war table* "FUUUUUUUUUUCK!!!"
Level Up Montage is the single best D&D tip I have heard in a few years! THANK YOU! I am going to implement that in my next Campaign.
I paused the video and messaged my party immediately. We are about to run ToA from lvl 1, so lots of chances to do this ahead.
A montage of that nature needs more cowbell.
The actress who plays Lady Kima is Maribel in Encanto.
You guys should watch Viva La Dirt League. They live action tons of video game tropes.
Jay's excitement setting all this up, and get to shine talking about this, I am so here for it! Also, never seen Adam so adorably and spontaneously react so much like a 14 year old girl that happen to get eye contact with her big crush from across the hall, in such a way as he does in 08:37! Just the pure loveliness!
He did look so adorably pleased and shy. I wanna gif him in that moment with blushing cheeks.
“Don’t fall Keyleth. .. Bwahahahhahah!”
As a Patron supporter, I don't always have time to watch your full watch-alongs, but your TH-cam vids are a slice of joy. I just gotta say that your content always makes my day. Thanks for being your awesome selves. Much love from Kentucky.
As soon as Trinket was introduced, my first thought was, "Jay's going to want a Trinket."
Just watched the "cupcake" incident, and hot damn that was a clutch moment (and hilarious).
I have maybe got a dozen episodes live on twitch , but just happened to catch that one. The critical role chat is always crazy, but at that moment straight up "went plaid." All time great moment
They had to be very careful in this show with the DND references cause WoTC are extremely tight on their copyright rules and they would have had to have been very careful with what they can and can’t mention
17:11 "At least she didn't jump..." *** Insert Captain America "I understood that reference." GIF here ***
Adam had the drink this time! Then immediately personified Jay.
Congratulations 100,000 subscribers... Woohoo 🎉🎉🎉
17:00 I burst out laughing when Jay made that reference to the "We're gods!" moment
Yes!!!!!!!!!!! I have been subscribed long before the FIX IT came about and finally my name gets called out I couldn't have picked a better video to get called-out thank you😃😃
Reminds me of the gold old days of a couple months ago when Wheel of Time was in premiere 😂
I've watched these about 3 times, I just love your honest and over abounding joy in this series.
I can't wait till season 3 and The Mighty Nein!!
Awesome video guys as usual. It's great to see the passion for D&D, and your enjoyment of these stupidly talented actors that have helped to elevate something that has for so many years been scorned and dismissed. This first episode is a perfect introduction to Vox Machina and if it's any indication - this season is going to blow our
minds.
We play Dungeons and Draaaagooooooooooons!
The Monty Python reference killing me already lmao, love it
"Did not think I'd be seeing Gnome taint this morning" - a sentence you think you'd never hear be spoken
I didn't expect to be seeing a gnome go down on a blue elf!
Jay: "I've done a *ton* of research on these people and what they've done."
Also Jay: *Immediately forgets the DM's name* XD
I am so happy to see you reviewing this and that Adam is on board. And if you like Percy *now*... well, buckle up ;)
The "level up" montage sounds awesome. I hopefully will be able to convince my DM to do it.
I play a Druid Necromancer in my current campaign. So I can talk to the dead and plants. FURNITURE IS MY DOMAIN!
This is the best example of worlds colliding. I'm so happy right now!!!
I've missed Vox Machina.. I love the other campaigns but nothing hits like the originals! I love the subtle moments of the future couples they through in!
Same thing. My friend tried to get me into it so I humored him. And session 1 I'm drunk drawing my wood elf ranger and the rest was history. 10 year D&d vet 😂
This feels so f****g familiar 🤣
I started playing AD&D over 30 years ago and have played most iteration since then (except 4th edition), including variants like Pathfinder and a lot of other role-play systems & settings on top. It is an amazing hobby It is creative, communicative, social and a lot of fun.
Seeing Keyleth's "did I just make it worse" with a call lightning on a blue dragon! It was actually awkwardly fun to watch Marisha, as a newer player, be so excited about spells she would just learn and want to try... but hadn't really experienced the outcome of mechanically in game yet. It was endearing to me.
Also, the "when the group finds something worth fighting for, i think the way I'd describe it, as dorky as it is? Magical, lol.
And just commenting as the show went on and it got to "mom's against this DnD thing"... Man, i was directly smack dab in the middle of being a teen DnD player in the 80s and 90s "Satanic Panic". That was REAL stuff. My aunt made her sons BURN their Player's Handbooks, no joke!!!
Yay yay yay! I'm so happy y'all are reacting to this show! I've been waiting for this release for nearly three years and I can't wait to see what critters and newbies alike think of it! And jsyk, the first two episodes are a "new story" but also cover a bit of something that happened in the campaign before they started streaming. And the last 10 episodes of season 1 cover the much beloved Briarwood Arc that happened at the beginning of campaign 1. I've seen the first three eps already, and I can't wait for your next videos, I think each episode builds so nicely on the ones before it and they just keep getting better and better! I could seriously talk about CR and TLoVM all day if I was allowed, but I'll stop now but again, yay, I'm so excited to watch your reactions to this show!
The cast list being called just "insane" is a huge understatement.
Laura Bailey and I have very special dice cut from the same Meteorite. I met her once in Gencon in 2018. She's awesome *cue harp music*
This was soo awesome! I LOVE your opining over the greatness and qualities of D&D, I'm with ya.
YOU MENTIONED THE CUPCAKE MOMENT!!!! :-D :-D :-D
I am beyond happy that you tow liked this show.
I'm new to the channel, because I'm basically going through and geeking out to all the different reactions to this show, but you guys have such a fun vibe! Can't wait to check out your other stuff :)
Yes!! Wooho! This whole episode was full of fuck yeah moments! And surprisingly tender moments too.
Laura *harp Noise* Bailey
Fun tidbit, the kids in the Shale Steppes are played by Liam and Sam's actual real life children!
As a CR and D&D fan, I would love to hear about your inside jokes and more about your game. One of the great things about D&D is it's so much fun to talk about with people cause every group has its own crazy stories to tell.
the children of the fisherman were their children xD the boy was sam riegels son and the girl was liam o'briens daughter
Mission prompt. "Behold. ..Victor!"
First time watching your channel and loved this reaction, subbed right away 😊
It's okay Jay, she's basically a god ;)
I love your unbridled joy! I felt the same watching the first three episodes...
Minor correction but Marisha is the Creative Director at CR. Travis is the CEO. She was previously the CD at Geek & Sundry where CR got it's start.
I, for one, really enjoy hearing you guys talk about your home game! Hearing you talk about why you love D&D gave me the warm fuzzies because I love it for all the same reasons. Also, your suggestion about level up montages in game is a cool idea! I think I'm gonna tuck that one in my back pocket.
Looking forward to watching this with you guys!
I’m so beyond happy that Jay is a fellow Critter and D&D fan! I’m glad y’all have and are playing D&D it’s such a great game!
You got me with that TH-cam check!!
Also, have fun playing where's Waldo, I mean Where's Matt, alot of the extra characters are his voice. ALSO HE is actually in every episode playing that inept guard... kinda like the cabbage seller in Avatar mix with Stan Lee cameo's from Marvel lol
I am so pleased that you did this! I have always wanted to play DnD but I've never found anyone to help me get started. It looks so fun.
My favorite voice acting thing you miss is that Laura, Travis' wife, was the voice of Lust, whom which he brutally burns alive.
God I loved this. Also, I want that hoodie!!!
I've been playing with the same D&D group for nearly 7yrs now.
I find it funny that you brought up Travis being Roy Mustang but not Laura being Lust lol
Literal Matt Mercer posting the job for the start of the show. Couldn't do anything else.
*Ahem* Back for another round of these reactions; don't mind me...
When my two favorite worlds collide!!! (I stan Laura and Travis 💕 but Percy is totally my favorite character!) I am so impressed with the animation (I already knew the voice action would be S tier). All of the characters fit how I imagined them.
"Oh you know Travis from full metal"
*does not meantion laura bailey is lust*
*or that laura is abby in the list of us pt 2*
I love Adam's tales about Victor. Also his character art.
I can't wait for the next to and Adam's complete swoon we'll see in E3.
I'll say this is a pretty decent introduction into the world of critical role. Not a fantastic start, I wish I could get to know the characters just a little bit more but for 30 minutes it's pretty decent stuff. Can't wait to watch episodes 2 and 3!
The part where the creators of the IP have been able to keep this much control through the adaptation process is also pretty special.
Don't fall Keyleth!
What? We're practically gods!
And... subscribed
@@shaskusmas You won't regret it, Jay and Adam are the best, go and watch all their MCU stuff, it's brilliant
Can't forget that Matt is our lord and savior Levi Ackerman
I liked how they translated the Ranger's primeval awareness ability (kind of mixed with favorite enemy)
Also, Talisen. He is an eldritch being.
