Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?
Flando Maltrizian one minute after posting
What ARE you Flando? This is beyond human
So quick and so good at this that you boggle the mind
Flando for CR NPC!!!
Actually superhuman
Hearing Travis speak like he just inhaled helium and Liam speak like he has a chorus of frogs in his throat is the best thing ever.
Let’s not forget Taleisan talking like Batman/ Owlbear
Liam was channeling Ludo from Labyrinth hardcore
Honestly my favorite is Ashley being a mafia bred hardass was pretty great
Their voices must be wrecked day after....
Liam's Buddy Voice reminds me of Ludo from Labyrinth
This is the "Guardians of the Galaxy" of the Critical Role universe
This comment is so underrated.....
@@CarpeDMOfficial this is the top comment tho
wolfebro No it isn’t. If you don’t count Flando the top comment is the one by Dr. Cimmerian with 1.1k. There are several others as well with more likes and engagement.
@@CarpeDMOfficial fair enough
Mitchell Harder I guess that would make Vox Machina the avengers then, but what would the Mighty Nein be ?
I was astonished by Liam O’brien’s voice, then Travis hit us with a pitch that’d make helium jealous.
He's like Ivan van Norman from the "To The Poop" one shot
lmao Travis looked so excited when Liam went with such a deep voice and then came out with his own helium voice for his halfling and I love it so much. That was the best character intro ever for the two of them
It took me awhile to figure out who was playing who, I had my phone in my pocket since I’m at work
please link the time zzz why even comment without timestamp only here for highlights
@@antiphon000 it's within the first ten minutes, watch the damn show.
"Reckless sneak attack"
I think you mean: "If I don't know what I'm doing then you sure as fuck don't"
The term is "Confusion Fu"
Most underappreciated line: "Hey lady, get your own Ogre!"
had no idea you were a d&d fan, lmao
1:16:10 for the line. 1:16:00 for the setup. For anyone that wants to find it.
Nah, when he tells Buddy to end her,was bummed no one caught it.
Is quack’thulu going to be your next SCP article?
@@rorschachroach I am pretty sure we all caught it, Travis was very conspicuous about doing it, but here: 58:20 for the line, 58:00 for the setup.
why does the owlbear love his clothing? because it's made out of *hide*
Underrated comment
God fucking damnit I hate that I love this comment.
BOOOOOOOOOOOOO GET OFF THE S T A G E
That's an old joke!
Thats in fact a joke that was maybe already made in the eighties
To her great credit Marisha has to this day been the only main cast member to play a Bard since Sam retired Scanlan. And she absolutely killed it.
I NEED her to play another bard cause holy crap Hazel is easily one of my favorite characters 🤣
Ik technically Dorian was a guest star but given that he was there for like the first 30 episodes of campaign 3 I'd call him a main character
Didn’t yasha multi class as a bard?
She did fantastic
@@So1dier_Boy she thought about it but since her charisma was really low she couldn't make it work
The Owlbear is unironically a dope character. The combo Rogue+Barbarian is awesome and the idea of a batman wannabe skulking in the woods with an owlbear pelt on the back is both hilarious and actually pretty cool.
If I ever get into dnd I would love to do owlbear. But not the same guy, The owl bear can be a mantle that's passed down to a worthy comrade. Such as the pirate from the princess bride or captain falcon.
@@bearbones7913 Captain Falcon is a legacy character?? I thought he was just... one guy. Granted, the only things I know from F-0 I learned from Smash Bros. but still...
@@bdletoast09 oh yeah! Death Battle did a run down of his history. Overall I think it was 3 people who had the mantle
Totally agree just not sure I could bring it to life the way that has been done here would still be a sweet thing to try
@@rhodenaros okay what if your owl bear character was a barbarian tribesmen bent on justice who moves to the big city to take down a criminal empire that kidnaps his people and threatens their way of life. So they take up the cunning of the rogue in order to take them down
I can’t believe the others managed to create characters that are insane enough to make Taryon Darrington seem like the most sane and responsible member of the party...
I like to think there was an email that Marisha sent to the crew with guidance on character creation for this live show that went something like this:
"Go nuts.
P.S. Dibs on Bard."
@@nickgutierrez83 I think you mean "GUIDIANCE"!
@@JacksonOwex LMFAO. Yes. Over enunciation. It's key. 🤟🏻😂
It does make sense that no one with a sane mind would want to join the Darrington Brigade and their dangerous adventures without any promise of pay!
@@karahtar I like to think there was a sort of gradual progression of insanity among the applicants, and that's partially why tary held out so long. The crazier they were, the longer they stayed
"How do I miss him when he's stunned?"
"He's that good."
Had I been Matt, I'd have responded "Because he's the Owlbear!" using the HISHE Batman voice.
I think she missed because Owlbear was wobbling in place like a Mortal Kombat character awaiting a Fatality.
I can just hear Buddy holding his son after he was born and saying "Woah, you're Pretty."
And becomes PRETTY in Campaign 3
This is gold
New headcanon
Headcanon accepted.
I GASPED and would love for this to be true. 😂
I love that marisha intentionally pronounces things wrong because she's only read the stories, not heard them. That's a brilliant touch.
She’s a genius.
@@angelalewis3645 you mean a geneaious.
another little detail i enjoyed is that taryon made vex sound alright in comparision to the rest of vox machina who dont really do anything and are made to sound less heroic then they actually were in his books, because he ended up enjoying vex while the rest of the group treated him not as well
Liam: grunts
Wow he's got range, what a good actor!
Travis: speaks
*oh*
I'm very very late but my reaction to that reveal was just pure, genuine shock 😂 I did NOT see that coming
both Matt and Liam repited this easily at the narrative phone.
just when i was wondering if Travis ever played members of the small races; first a Goliath, then a half-Orc; yeh, halflings qualify as small
@@CorvusCorone68 He is the voice of Gazlowe in Heroes of the Storm, a goblin engineer
I honestly thought up until now that Travis didn't have that kind of range.
Owlbear being a Batman inspired character, but failing at stealth, was the best part.
To be fair a giant bat costume is not the boon to stealth Bruce Wayne thinks it is.
DuskyPredator like he said before
owlbear is more like lego batman
@@Wolfencreek depends how big the bats in Gotham are
He actually seems to be more inspired by Nite Owl from Watchmen
@rkp0718 this killed me
Underrated line: Owlbear after finding the ruins of the duck pond:
"Should've been a goose.... they have less to live for."
Travis’s character is just Sprinkle as a halfling
Underrated
Oh yeah, good spot!
Travis and Liam is playing Nunu and Willum from league of legends game
Matt: You cant be good at everything.
Laura: Natural 20.
time stamp ?
Robin at about 2:26:25
@@theloserchild Thank you! :)
I think these characters are perfect for live shows. They are not as serious of a group and the cast can relax and play up the comedy more for the audience, than they can with their main characters since much more is at stake in the real campaign.
Live shows should only be one-shots (IMO).
@@7on I think its absolutely fine if they reuse these characters since they don't have an important story arc to solve. They are comic relief characters perfect for a live audience.
Although I would love to see an one shot with the cast playing completely randomized characters (including stats) and be forced to improvise on the spot. That would be very fun. Also only randomized NPC's for Matt too. DND Beyond has a built in randomized so they can just roll a random character live right in front of the audience.
it's also why the vox machina one shots were so great. It was still more serious than this one, but they were making more jokes than in the main show. Partially because they had a live crowd to please, but also because the main story was over and the World-level threats were dealt with.
I would still watch the shit out of this if they would continue this tbh.
They could even make a campaign on all live sessions with those crackheads. It's really entertaining^^
Skeptical Caveman that doesn’t sound too too fun to be honest. Because then you get a bunch of random characters that don’t have their shit together it’s boring as fuck to watch there is nothing interesting about that, it’s be more acting’s than D&D at that point. With no substance, the thing that makes these fun for me at least is seeing the characters the players made. A completely randomized game would just make it a party show. This is a D&D show, in my mind at least.
The thing that makes the show so good ARE the characters. Take that away and it’s just a one shot, the appeal is in what makes these particular people interesting.
ok, but Marisha just being super proud of Laura Monk is just so cute
Dude, she becomes her coach, and Travis becomes Talesin's 😂❤
I don't know if Marisha gets enough recognition. Her character and the amount of work she put into all of it was amazing. The way she pronounced certain words was also hilarious.
I actually kinda want her to play a bard now for whenever they do campaign 3
I have felt so much joy from all of her one shot characters. She really is amazing!
I wasn't a fan of Keelyth. But I like her monk(only a couple episodes in) and love the bard
@@egoraptorschin9412 I found Keyleth and Beau both to be fucking obnoxious. She somehow managed to play less fucking annoying this time!
By the end of campaign one Travis openly laughs at her misfortune at every turn because he is so tired of her being annoying.
@@true_plays_games imagine seeing a friend enjoy their friend's antics and thinking it's exasperated... they frequently laughed at keyleth's stuff together. all these little moments of getting the other's attention to crack them up, to the point where they sat next to each other in the next game.
Critical Role: The episode where EVERYONE gets to be extra, like extra extra.
David Katz read all about it
Like…..Get charged twice for guacamole extra
*there's a knock at the door*
"I hide."
I felt that in my soul.
I WANT IT 💛
Assassin's!
They need to make this a shirt..
I giggled on and off for about 10 minutes 🤪
It's a mood
Owl bear stabbing out the eyes of the wolves: "Justice is blind...and now... so are you."
*knock on the door*
Taliesin: "I hide"
Me: "Me too, brother."
...wait. Is that a wordplay because he hides as an Owlbear hide, so he just (is) hide?
@@dawiddulian2403 ... I don't think so.

3:59:20 build up 3:59:44 quote
This should be a shirt
Travis is a cleric named Macaroni, why didn't any say anything about Holy Macaroni, cant believe they let that one slip.
I know! I like to think it's because they were too caught up with their duck puns.
this is the spoiler i needed, thank you friend. i will manage my pun expectation
Fruit hanging way too low. Buddy and Owlbear too funny.
Exactly! Sometimes they miss the best simple phrases cuz they are too focused on being clever. Although, that doesn't apply to Travis lol
“And Buddy sticks a half-ling on his head and we call him Macaroni”
My favorite part of this whole session will always be when The OwlBear resists the fire damage and Travis and Co were like "You don't resist that" and he just smugly confirmed he does
Proceeds to go unconscious either way
When was that again?
@@Mimic21778 56:29
"Hey Lionel? How do you say 'I'm sorry' in Duck?" (Matt makes a duck sound) (Ashley tries to imitate the sound... but fails adorably). Kills me everytime!!! XD LOL
Ashley rolled a NAT 1 on mimicry
Everyone looks like they are dressed to go out somewhere, and that somewhere is different for everyone
Travis looks like he's dressed to go home
Sam's on his way to a football game.
Ashley: presenting the weather forecast.
Liam: Attending an art gala.
Travis: watching a football game
Taliesin: hosting an occult meeting
Laura: attending an awards show
Marisha: going to a 50's themed dance party
Sam: playing in the football game Travis will be watching.
@@bartholen I thought that Taliesin is just wearing his pyjamas though?
David Zammit as you know, any occult meetings must be done in your pyjamas, otherwise you are offered to the gods for disrespecting the ancient old rules (dormiens conterentes praecenta) written in dead language.
Buddy has an intelligence of 11....
Next on Critical Role: Buddy the Ogre teaches Grog Strongjaw to read.
His INT is actually 5. In the rush to prepare, Liam forgot to change it in D&D Beyond.
@@Aetheria60 oh okay I was about to say why does he talk like that with an Int double Grogs 😂😂
New pitch: Pike and Caleb teach Grog and Buddy to read
@@DatChanimal I want it to be Caleb teaching Buddy. That way Liam just does everything. :P
@@XoIoRouge that would be amazing lol we know liam could pull it off.
"Alright, Buddy let's start slow. What is the first letter of ze alphabet?"
"... You're prETTYYYYY."
"...Thank you?.."
@@Aetheria60 Buddy the Ogre constantly comes in clutch throughout the whole campaign, captures the hearts of everyone in the crowd, and already knows that friendship is the greatest treasure and ally of all.
His INT ought to be 20
So you’re telling me that buddy stuck a feller in his hat and called him macaroni?
Y-yeah. You sir, have just broken my brain. Congratulations
Keep it up Yankee Doodle Dandy! 😁
I was almost sorry for Matt when everyone started introducing their crazy characters, but then he introduces the duck speaking half-orc.
Lionel's a former PC, so at least he was a KNOWN crazy character. ;)
@@Aetheria60 I haven't watched the 1° campaign yet, so I didn't know. But thanks for letting me know.
Oh, god he was hilarious, and he got an incredible moment from Grog!
DUDE I DIDN'T REALIZE THAT LIONEL WAS ORIGINALLY PLAYED BY JON HEDER, WHO WAS NAPOLEON FRICKIN DYNAMITE!! It all makes sense now
@@samuelpaulson7433 I started that episode in podcast form and there were a few moments I thought this guy kinda sounded like Napolean but nah no way. Then I switched to the vod and had my mind blown lol
*Liam speaks in character for 0.2 seconds*
me: i love him i would die for him if anything happens to buddy i am suing critical role
He's the big dumb puppy of the group like Grog was for Vox Machina, and I love them both. ❤️
Same!! I was like, aww 😍😍 and then 😱😱 because they are going to battle and he could die 😭😭
@@kaitlynwickham6237 They fill the same role in the group dynamic, but I feel like Buddy is way more innocent than Grog in a lot of ways. Like how he calls everyone and everything pretty. Grog was also kind of innocent, but whereas Buddy is a full on Saint Bernard, Grog is more of a very loyal Rottweiler with a soft spot.
@@tomtucker7964 Very accurate.
He reminds me of the troll in Harry Potter
“I hadn’t backed up that audio yet” Marisha, your producer is showing.
She could have used a subscription to Backblaze....
By the love of all that is holy, please make the Darrington Brigade into a recurring thing. This cast of characters is TOO GOOD to leave into a one-shot.
I need another one shot of these characters.
I agree
I honestly kind of wished Campaign 3 would be the Darrington Brigade. It would have been great. I mean they ended up being pretty much fan service for campaign 1 anyway.
@@Noobie2k7 Except if C3 was Darrington Brigade, either Taryon would have to become a MattNPC, or we'd have to accept that Sam's character would've been about 12 levels above the rest of the party since session 1.
@@GregJonson this is taryon though, Sam could have had them do the fighting and such while he sits back, sips a drink and has the team handle small fries
Sometimes, I crave Macaroni Samsonite, so I revisit this one-shot, often. This one-shot has become a comfort show for me
If you need more of that voice, please watch "To The Poop!" goblin one shot. He's not in it but the entire party uses that voice.
Travis' Narrative Telephone features, albeit much more sinister, Macaroni Samsonite.
I just come for the character introduction alone. I've watched that soooo many times.
@@MsYunaFires
Oh man, that one-shot was so good, glad it's still viewable.
And that was the first one-shot they ever did wasn't it? Or was it Liam's Quest pt1?
“I cast confusion!”
“I’m alreadyyyy confuuuused”
I fell of my chair when he said that... I love Buddy!
>Matt comes out in funny costume
>Camera is blocked so I can't get my one good look at it
>Go to complain
>Realise it's because Matt is the only one getting a standing ovation from the whole crowd
I can live with that
I had the same thought process XD
Oh my god I was about to comment about this but then I saw your comment and it’s exceptionally relatable😂
Funny or irresistibly sexy - at least on Matt?
I was actually there live. Everyone got a standing ovation.

Travis and Liam: "Well, well, well. If it isn't the consequences of my own actions."
We all know buddy has the darkest back story because it's liam
He did have a dark life, but now he's seen the light and everything is pretty
I just gave this comment 666 likes not sure how i feel about that
I mean, a somewhat small ogre that is unusually friendly towards humanoids smaller than it. Maybe Buddy was ostracised by his clan, maybe they were killed and Buddy was the sole survivor.
This char had a front-story instead!
@@misterdayne2792 So, a Grog-like situation?
"Golden hair from genetics. Golden armor from money." I love Sam.
lol just like Matt, he's got a way with words
He wears a ploughin' golden armour! Golden! Course he's an arsehole!
He's semi avian, claw hooting mammal of action
He's a furry half owl with a prety big brain!
He's got more than just man skills
He's got an owl's beak and gives criminals chills
And the ducks all swoon whenever they hear him say:
"Hoo!"
He's the Owlbear! Owlbear and Darrington!
Under appreciated comment
And here I thought the Owlbear theme just went na na na na na na na na OWLBEAR!
There are no words that describe how much I love this. You deserve bonus points for nostalgia you absolute genius.
How quick did it take you to come up with this?
Whereas all I thought was "Owlbears! Hoot Growl Hoot Growl!"
Imagine a full crowd screaming your intro music while you sit with your best friends
Made me so happy 🖤
Liam said: It's my turn on the adorable but stupid giant character.
Tal was really impressed with this voice!
" that concludes but one Adventure..."
Don't do that. Don't give me hope.
Cast for campaign 3?
@@christopherbacon1077 honestly I'd be fine with them as a one shot group. Keep the light heartedness and goof through all the sessions while still having em be fun and intense.
@@calebkopp7636 An ongoing one-shot series is the ideal I think and a brilliant, solid idea for continuing live shows
Campaign 2 reference maybe? It was 826 PD which is only 10 years before might nein
Imagine a set of comics starting where this ends and that leads into a new oneshot adventure or two. After c2 ends.
Baby I just made my self excited.
Marisha Ray REALLY cracked me up this episode. Everyone was on their game for the humor, it’s insaaane.
I could listen to Marisha narrating Taryon's books with old-timey sound effects for hours.
Can’t wait for the first issue of The Owlbear: Year One from Dark Horse Comics
Noirpool0 how can I like this comment more?
Lmfao
God I hope so
I already have the shirt made
I'm personally looking forward to the Death in the Party run
If you bring Tal out first, you don’t actually reveal if you’re dressing up until the next person comes out.
Solid comment. I love it
or Sam hahaha
Very true
@@joeyherne this is true only because Sam always dresses up. It's true for Taliesin because he's Executive Goth. His normal clothes are just *like* that.
No joke, that high school one-shot, I’m still not convinced Taliesin was in costume
Can we all appreciate that Liam 'stay in your bubble, Marisha' O'Brien hit Travis in the face just after Taryon gave Cowl of the Bat to Owlbearbatman?
At 3:01:09
you don't understand how BADLY i need ashley to play a character like this in campaign 3. don't get me wrong, i love yasha so much, but ashley playing a confident character just hits different
Agreed! Yasha fits because Ashley (bless her soul) barely knew what was happening for over half the campaign. So her uncertainty fit. I love Damien. So refreshing.
Yes, I also look forward to a confident Ashley character. Pike and Yasha are so limited compared to the other characters because she had to leave so often. She's also going to be more confident playing when she's playing every week and used to her abilities as opposed to playing catchup all the time.
Yes!!! Loooove Damien and sincerely thought she did amazing! 🖤
Ashley as Gale for campaign 3 would be
g r e a t
@@Cheoneunnie Gag me with a spoon Mrs. Henderson!!!!
Looooove her!!! Makes me crack up anytime Ashley uses her Gayle voice!
I love how they have Taliesin come out first, I'm like "Oh Tal's in everyday clothes, so they're not dressing up"
Then Marisha's getup appears
Talieson actually put the most unique clothes he had, everything else had tentacles and eyes so that get-up really stands out
@Normal Art Especially Sam! A football out/gear is pretty tame compared to 98% of his live show outfits.
Cody Theisen True. I was expecting something *way* more worse.
@@codytheisen5655 Honestly, I was relieved!
Gag me with a spoon, Mrs. Darrington
this made me laugh so much, best comment hahahah
This should be top comment
You deserved more appreciation for this comment, I'm laughing myself sore, I head it immediately in Ashley's voice.
This is my favorite comment on youtube.
"I hide."
~Taliesin Jaffe as The Owlbear, 2019
Laura's laugh when they find out what the crater used to be is my favorite thing she's ever done.
I was woefully unprepared for that voice to come out of Travis's mouth
We all were! That's why it was so great! (And the "BANISHMENT!" will be a new classic for Travis... that was just awesome comdedic timing, and totally rooted in Macaroni's character!)
Even after Liam breaks out his Totoro it was pretty out of nowhere.
@@Solnoric Buddy is already my favorite character and Mac is Badass as well.
Travis, Liam, and Tal really brought their A game.
Travis: I cast bane
Taliesin: * careless whispers starts playing * I like bane
Bit weird when he’s playing a Batman parody... but normal for Taliesin.
“Do you dream in Duck?” is maybe my favorite sentence that I’ve ever heard in my entire life, Ash is such a goddamn legend
Let's be real, if Batman had a narrator that announced his every thought and action, it would sound exactly like Taliesin with the Owlbear.
Robert Battinson clearly based his broody monologs off the Owlbear
when travis opened his mouth, you could see matt's soul take damage
20d12 necrotic damage
Psychic damage.
Travis damage.
Poor Matt's soul...
How perfectly chaotic that Taliesin makes the high fantasy equivalent of Batman/Nite Owl (complete with badass gritty voice ) only to be pulverized immediately by Laura's adorable pink haired Avatar style monk
Fucking monks man, never go physical with them.
@@user-ze3tq9hf9i unless you are a full, raging Barbarian; Paladin or Fighter. Like, a properly built Samurai will fuck a Monk up.
@@draochvar9646 Oh yeah, Monks are a good utility martial class, but the aren’t the best one on one fighters compared to a lot of other martial classes.
@@noclue4108 unless they decide to spam stunning strike, like Ferriwen did to The Owlbear
1:48:34 Doty being salty at Hazel is my favourite thing so far.
1:49:35 I love how Doty (or rather Matt) can throw shade with single, completely neutral word.
This party feels like it should have cartoon physics.
matt: "nothing too ostentatious: maybe just like a golden robe made of sequins?"
"Oh, and some glittery eyeshadow, couldn't possibly do without it."
hahah i only noticed that later
I love that Marisha kinda matches with her opalescent sequin robe
Austin-tatious
I feel like he was dressing as Tary in all that shiny gold.
The intro sequence being sung by the entire crowd is the best thing ever!
Last live show the crowd sang along on their own so this time they upgraded to opening too Karaoke so that even more could sing along! It's a great example of of them being Reactionary to what the fans seem to like. They will probably upload the Karaoke version on it's own soon if we are lucky!
I teared up a bit
I swear I heard Travis in there too.
I literally got chills
I like how CR is basically a cult now XD
Marisha is excellent in this one. This group was amazing and gave such a great one-shot. Probably my favorite so far. I hope for more Darrington Brigade adventures, with a slightly different group maybe?
Agree so much 🖤 absolutely loved Marisha's character and thought she did great! Marisha and Tal's character made me laugh so much 🖤
@@OmANnIe Hazel and Laudna kind of proves that comedic characters are probably the best match for Marisha. When she gets too serious she could occassionally flounder like when Keyleth attempts to sound poignant and wise. This sh*t is hilarious.
@@yiklongtay6029 I agree my friend
I don't want to sound like a contrarian, but after watching this, I think she's mispronouncing those words as kind of a parody of 1940s radio drama narrator voice/dialect.
@@yiklongtay6029 I completely agree. Sometimes she tends to use words and terms outside of her everyday vocabulary slightly wrong when she's trying to make the character sound poignant or extremely intelligent and it can come off a bit awkward. But the comedic bits are great! She has good execution for those.
This is literally the equivalent of guardians of the galaxy for Critical role and I love it 😂
"Tonight we Feast on evil most Fowl"
-The Owlbear
Taliesin had a most epic pun in Campaign 1, early on, about stuffing dead bodies into the loo "where they should be... _interred._ "
Only Ashley even noticed. I was dying. CR barely reacted.
@@MrBrachiatingApe I'm a sharp guy with a reasonable vocabulary, but I'm afraid I don't see the joke in that one. Care to explain?
@@MrBrachiatingApe I loved the homage to it in the vampire one shot
@@bigdream_dreambig Yeah, no worries. Just a really, epically Dad-Tier pun: the bodies should be interred in the loo/toilet. Interred (buried) in turd.
As I said, it's some Dad-Tier stuff. Terrible? Wonderful?
I want to say it was right around or in the same ep as Scanlan shitting on the bed somewhere...?
He delivered it with that Percy drawl, totally straight-faced, but with just enough emphasis that you know that he meant it to be deliberate.
For whatever reason, I was just slain with laughter.
@@lyn3325 Oh? I haven't gotten to that one yet. Vampire one-shot...? Do they play V: TM or just a vampire D&D game, or...?
"This is the weirdest hentai"
"Is it, though?"
Lmao, matt truly is a man of culture
@Aidan Hall 3:55:10
Now I'm wondering if he ever voice acted any.
@@metaouroboros690 oh no
Oh the things I've seen. *shudders*
I feel like everyone made joke characters, but Laura didnt get the memo and just made the coolest monk ever lol
How dare you disrespect buddy
joke characters??? hazel is like the most interesting character ive ever seen 😭
I think that was supposed to be her Jester backup lol
There were elements of Farriwen that are silly like how wind is always blowing in her hair. Laura plays her very aloof too. She's not as extreme as the other characters.
@@cjtrules1 She just felt like a real (as real as a fantasy air genasi monk in a ttrpg can be) person in her mannerism and design. Most of the rest of them feels very cartoonish haha

Loved Marisha's character 🖤
The vox masheena and keeleeth aren't her accent, they're because Hazel has only read those names in a book, not heard them pronounced. At least that was my understanding. Like Matt in real life with the word "sigil", it's something that happens when people learned words through books and didn't check a pronunciation guide. So it's a subtle bit of character backstory building.
The rest are presumably what an old-timye Wildye-mount accent sounds like in-world. :P Or at this point, the *start* of that accent among reporters and so on. So not old-timey for them, this is accent trend is starting now, and she's starting it.
@@Peter_Cordes she’s just doing an old timey news reporter impersonation
@@DarkShines86 Yes, that's the out-of-universe reference Marisha is going for, which is why it's so funny to us.
But Exandria doesn't have voice-based media at all, other than town criers and in-person oral storytellers. In-universe, I don't think *Hazel* is doing an impression of a voice she's heard a group of people use; she's a pioneer. Maybe she heard someone or some group talk like that, maybe she made it up herself as an affectation for her recordings.
I just want to take a moment to appreciate how dedicated Marisha was to her character. She brought props!
Did she borrow them from Sam's radio show ad props? I could swear that I had seen a few of them before, lol.
She sounded like Katherine Hepburn.
@@vomitfountain I imagine the things he ends up with for props there are part of the prop collection for the company seeing as the ads are from the company.
@@EarthFaery26 Except the dustbuster. That was his and now it's apparently been lost. ;)

“And I get sneak attack because I’m attacking recklessly...”
Me: *Goes to dnd beyond immediately to make a roguebarian*
double-edged sword since you aren't as beefy in melee as a full barbarian
@@bezretmet yeah but think about it this way - uncanny dodge
@@Jgpgames AND resistance due to rage
rouge Paladin I think have the highest possible 1 hit damage attack.
@@SPACEHARICE Oathbreaker/Hexblade Padlock is better. You can Attack with Charisma, get a damage bonus equal to your Charisma Modifier, get Hexblade's Curse, and you can use a smite spell, Eldritch Smite, and Divine Smite on the same attack. With your nice high warlock spell slots
1:22:40 Judging by her reaction, Laura immediately thought that Tary stole Vex's Flying Broom
You mean the broom that Vex stole.
I love Liam calling out Marisha for hitting him when he just got Travis
This episode is just them flexing their voice actor abilities
and as a viewer here I Really ENJOY IT XD
And I love it!!!
Seeing Travis' face when Taliesin says that he's gonna rage is so great. Travis will always be a barbarian at heart and this just proves that.
Now Taliesin's a barbarian that can teleport
I. Fucking. Love Marisha Ray. That audiomatic was amazing.
Taliesen's ability to create a cult of almost 3000 followers without even trying is uncanny.
I also very much appreciate his consistent summoning of sick electric guitar riffs for the best worst Batman ever's turns.
I can’t wait for more adventures of this Brigade.
I want more Buddy and Macaroni
Buddy and Macaroni are the highlights of the Brigade. Owlbear is also a big plus.
@@copycrow4486 Yeah the Guys went full chaos with their characters. love it!
I'm also loving Marisha's character as well! Honestly they were all super fun!
Yeah this was an awesome batch of characters. So much fun to watch!
Loved them All.
Upon finding a bunch of dead ducks:
Owlbear/Taliesin: "It should have been a goose - they have less to live for"
*deep menacing voice* In a game of duck duck goose, the goose always runs away
@@amandahakes2226 technically, you are not wrong.
Somewhere Tom Cruise as Maverick punches through his screen.
Very true. Geese are demon creatures.
Well, he's clearly not a Herondale
I am impressed with the audience at the “now it's your turn!! (your turn!! (your turn!!))” the audience split up into parts and successfully harmonized and I am very happy!!!!
I am also very happy about both the number of times they rolled 9s and also the fact that the whole audience would immediately shout "NEIN!!"
When you realise the one who hired them is a member of the Cerberus Assembly and is a fan of Tary's work.
"Would you rather fight a single horse-size duck or a hundred duck-size horses?", someone once asked Matt.
To that he answered "...roll initiative"
Duck sized horses
No no no his answer was yes
I am disappointed that Matt did not say that he has "Released the Quacken".
I was looking for a comment like this! I thought the same, haha.
They were indeed facing an evil most fowl
Can I just point out the awesome skill Liam has to come up with a character that wins the crowd's sympathy and favor within the first 5 minutes of play? Because that's incredible, and he often does that. It shows great skill.
You know, Tal’s character is actually very well thought out, but even the best of characters would get their ass beat in a 1v1 with a monk.
It was the initiative order that decided that fight. If The Owlbear had been able to Rage to halve the damage out the gate, close down the distance to Farriwen, and get Reckless Sneak attacks in, it may very well have gone the other way once Laura exhausted her Ki reserve.
In my mind, 1v1s between monks are just a JoJo Stand Rush. Blurry fists and barking Stand cries incoherently
Lionel: "It's as if I heard 20 ducks quack in unison and were abruptly silenced."
"There's a security illusion of Scanlan...killing ducklings"
There was a duck-sturbance in the force..
@@bradleyjudge8674 Duck Vader strikes again.
He's fallen to the dark side of the pond.
If you only knew the power of the duck side...
If you're unconscious and hasted does that mean you're fast asleep
You sleep, but faster!
Underrated comment
That’s a paddlin’.
Best comment on this vid
Jesus, dude... I felt my lifespan shorten.
I dont know if this has been said before, but everytime matt brings out a map he looks like a mom presenting a homemade birthday cake that shes really proud of
That damn Damian vs. Macaroni duel is one of the best D&D PvP moments I've ever seen. Hell, one of the best CR moments full stop.
half-orc npc: has dreams where he’s stuck in water
travis: immediately starts paying attention
Fjords long lost brother
No he wouldn't...not until he was made aware of it on a talks machina episode.
Oh that would be so interesting if fjord were related to Lionel, he was one of my favorite guest player characters of campaign one. Could totally be possible given that Lionel was an orphan too who was raised by ducks lol 😂
@@kaelalist9656 Lionel actually was a duck that was true polymorphed by scanlan and his memory modified heavily. Never confirmed, but heavily implied
@@beowulfmace4197 I mean they did sort of semi confirm it in a jokey way but seems canon enough. Plus definitely something Scanlan would do.
“A bit groggy”
Me: *dramatic look at Travis
Travis: *dramatic look at the camera
Me: ooOOO
1:34:15
Travis is the most wholesome teammate ever. The reactions he has when one of his friends does something cool and awesome are so genuine.
'Do you dream in duck?'
I so was Travis after Ashley said that. Laughing so hard.
Buddy: "You're pretty"
Tary: "Correct."
I love how Ashey's character is basically Gale.
"Gag me with a spoon Misses Darrington!"
who is gale?
@@hand.2 The star of two of Sam's greatest intro sketches.
@@faceyfacefaceface no, you must be remembering wrong. Gale was the star of an 80s tv show. It was phenomenal and Sam merely adapted it to play from tv
@@matthewletexier you mean the star of the trailer for the spinoff movie for a sitcom based on 80s advertisement for dnd beyond?
I love that Taliesin being in character for this just means he scowls at the table whenever he's not talking 😂
