snl breaking character
I'm shook
I’m going to stop watching then this stops being cool. I’m on consecutive rewatch like 10+
TO THIS DAY THE FACT THAT PEOPLE DECIDED TO DO THE 3 PART HARMONY MAKES ME SO HAPPY
ITS HONESTLY SO AMAZING
That really caught me, too.
If you pay attention you see Taliesin using his eldritch powers on the audience
That Matt (likely jokingly) did a bit of conducting there that the crowd TOTALLY RESPONDS to is amazing
It gave me CHILLS
House = wrecked
Hands = raised
Hype = overloaded
Heart = warmed
Hotel = trivago
(Sorry I had to)
@@lukasasmuth1653 I knew someone would do that.
Critical = role
Yee:haw
hotel=trivago
POV: audience rolls a Nat 20 on a performance check 😂
That “ROLE... CRTICAL” chant felt freaking meaty.
That “DICE!” Had SSSOOOO MUCH STANK on it
The whole thing makes me want to barbarian rage and get the logo branded on my chest so I can run into battle and scare the shit out of people. XD
That have me CHILLS listening to it!
BIG MEATY CLAAAAAAAAWS
What an exceptionally vivid way to describe the moment. Well done.
I'm so impressed how 2000 people stayed on tune and in harmony.
It averages out
I was thinking the same thing. Both of these posts.
Listen as someone who sings, the more there are, the more of a chance you find someone singing the same exact way as you are
Austin Iuliano Facts. Somehow crowds just sing better. Don’t Stop Believing? Actually super high and hard to sing in key. But in a crowd somehow everyone does it perfectly
@@MothmanGaming good to know, the next time I have to sing, I'll find 10,000 other people to cover up my horrendous singing voice :)
0:16 Actual title: Taliesin Jaffe takes control of entire crowd with his elderich powers.
Edit: I didn't realize that they split into different harmonies in the end. It had a degree of precision that I'd only expect a hive mind/mind controlled crowd to possess.
To be fair, we have been under mass suggestion for a while.
All Taliesin has to do is smile, and you will critically fail a wisdom check and become charmed
Commander Unidentified Commander Unidentified That hive mind/mind control is what allowed the kickstarter to blow past its stretch goals.
@@Alpha0727 it was Taliesin all along, pulling our strings~
I can't like the comment or I'll push it over 666
marisha's reaction when everyone started singing omg
I will remember the look on Laura's face. She looked genuinely touched.
@@Psithyrus1 Makes me wish the cameras they had for the stream kept recording them during the theme song
@@DirtyDerg and you're just a ray of sunshine huh? no one on the internet thinks ur wanna be edgy lameness is cool bruh
@@DirtyDerg Come on, you could at least spell her name right?
A bit childish if you ask me, but who cares? We love you the same.
@@kerochan85 Log out and go play with people.
Everyone is talking about how the cast reacted and how crazy they must all feel hearing this, but imagine how Sam feels in particular? He's the one that birthed this. These are his lyrics and I know he worked a lot on the music with JCM as well. How amazing must it be to hear thousands of people singing YOUR words with this kind of energy and passion?
I would love to know what he thinks
Ikr
I love that Sam took out his phone and filmed them. Basically one of the stars filming the fans for a change. But it's a sign of how much he, and all of them, appreciate things like that. Or their fans in general.
Agreed
Sam is a treasure. As is everyone around that table.
I love that the crowd split into the harmonies at the end naturally and without any prior planning. Also, it kind of makes me wish there were a "giant, hundreds/thousands of Critters submitted audio" cover of Your Turn to Roll, which I can only assume doesn't exist.
Not yet, but it could definitely be organized.
Can you imagine this in a stadium 😧
@@Feuryy I would probably cry, if we're being honest
i thought the same thing. or a flash mob of critters singing would also be pretty spectacular.
Theres some good accapella choir covers.
The cast all looks around surprised, like what did they think was going to happen??? Of COURSE the Critters would sing along!
Right? I sing it every time, sometimes while I'm cooking supper I tend to sing it with Jesters accent too lol
@@MusicUnderMyBreath During the live "Talks" panel they did, Laura said that she sings the song to her son every time she changes his diaper, it calms him down, he's already a critter.
to be fair, i think this was the first time it happened. Just as i'm thinking it won't be the last unless the con or facility bans it.
Makes me want to go to a live show even more :D If for no other reason than to help fill out the "ooo ohhh..." part after Caduceus says goodbye to his moth friend - with me?
@@Grey_Shard and fuck em if they do
I love that they realize people are chanting and are just like “lol cool” but then people actually start singing and everyone’s heads to just snap to the audience in surprise like “wait what”
Yeah the realization and sudden head turn from laura, sam and taliesin was cool to see
And that high-five from marisha to liam
Love how it got so intense when everyone shouted “take a chance ROLL THE DICE!”
I think they also got inspired and got suck in by Yasha stab as if they are giving her a strength boost for the stab and make sure she got a critical roll..
It's got the same energy as everyone belting out "FIVE GOLD RINGS!" whenever singing the "12 Days of Christmas"
It's one of those things that's just mandatory.
Love it!!
oh dang, the audience actually harmonized really well. usually when you start getting big crowds like this it gets harder and harder to understand what they are saying.
I know right? I was blown away by how clear it was!
Not always. Sometimes, something magical happens, and you get an entire crowd of people singing along in harmony, and its amazing. Saw something similar happen to a crowd at a Metallica (I think it was Metallica. Can't remember right.) singing Bohemian Rhapsody together before the band came out to play. It was awesome.
@@GuitarrAssassin Greenday is probably the one. th-cam.com/video/cZnBNuqqz5g/w-d-xo.html
They did so good because they knew the song so well. I personally have listened to it more than I would care to admit.
They kept time surprisingly well too lol
‘queen will always bring everyone together’
critters: hold my fuckin sword
I believe you mean "Hold my ale" 😁
@@damondusklight
Take your fate in your hands
Take a chance
Hold my dice!
Or:
Hold my stats, you hold my sword and just hold my invisible waaaaaaand!
I would go to her, with a sniper rifle. Matt in the other hand is our rigthfull king.
@your meme lord Don't know if I'd go THAT far. While the spirit of the Critters is, most certainly, strong, they haven't reached Queen levels. Queen still manages to get packed concert venues for concerts that aren't even theirs to sing Bohemian Raphsody and Freddie's been dead since 1991.
@@pepinillorick5741 "Her"? Don't you mean "Them"? Its The band we're talking about here...
Taliesin's "conducting" at the beginning makes this for me.
I love them, and this community, so damn much.
hes conducting their minds, beware the Eldritch god!
OF course Taliesen's ELdritch Spells require a Somatic component.
Same man. The community is where the heart is.
@Ruby Gee I nearly fell out of my chair when he did that, was so awesome
Pretty sure Talesin was doing the Macarena.
I love how at 0:36 you can hear the people on the sound team turning up the volume. Seriously love this community lol
Lol yeah
Good catch
That was magical. And now I know what gave Matt chills. Wish I could have been there in person.
"That was magical" XD that's exactly what I said when I watched the video hahahaha
@@pierocubertino5845 it was though!
@@N7AslansHobbit_Ry it definitely was! This fandom is absolutely great
@@pierocubertino5845 the greatest. I wanna go to a live show one day.
@@N7AslansHobbit_Ry me too, bro. Me too.
I love how it starts off as a joke, people are laughing and all, but then people start singing their hearts out and ahhhh it’s awesome
I love how animated the cast is. Even from this distance you can tell the crowd singing along is pumping them up.
I'm bouncing in my seat watching this on TH-cam a year later. I can't imagine how high the energy in that room much have been. God, I want to experience that!
I'm just impressed that the crowd managed an in-sync and equally balanced "Your turn...your turn...your turnnn...!" at the end
This is beautiful. My favourite part is 1:19 where you can actually hear different parts of the audience harmonise (and hold it) *flawlessly*.
Those barbarians mate
@@Kradd Bardbarians*
3 separate and equally distinct 'your turn's from an improv crowd. Colour me impressed
Thank you for putting a time stamp so I could find it better and hear it multiple times. I appreciate that.
So this is now canon as has to happen at every live show right? Right? RIGHT???
Right.
Right!
Anybody gonna bring glowsticks for the next one?
What started on Twitch chat, it has spread to every future live show to come.
It's Critical Role anthem. Of course they should sing it.
Man what a bunch of nerds.
I really love how the crowd actually did the split at the end lol I really love this community
Sam the song writer must be happy
I can only imagine how he felt when hearing people sing his song
Something amazing about this, for me, is that this isn't a concert, it's a D&D session...
When I hear the crowd singing along at concerts, it's for songs and music, it's something that everyone expects to happen. But there are times like this in live shows that can be completely random, not always, but most of the time. Hearing hundreds of people singing completely coordinated, and knowing the song, it makes me smile every time. Doesn't matter whether I love or hate the song, it's the reaction from the people running the show, and the crowd themselves, that's what makes it so amazing.
The high five between Marisha and Liam... Travis and Sam getting their phones out to record the crowd... Matt swinging and singing along, smiling non-stop... Taliesin playing about and just genuinely admiring the crowd... Laura looking over at the crowd, and then just staring at Matt...
The reactions are beautiful, they are what makes this such an amazing thing to experience.
Also, because the crowd just straight out has an amazing lot of voices.
It's somehow more epic when being sung by a room full of ppl
Someone! Contact the people who sang the Dovahkiin song!
A new challenge requires their attention.
It sounds like a DnD army chanting their fight song before going to Battle
@@millo1095 That's because it is! Critters UNITE!
This should be a staple of every live show because it gives the Critters a chance to participate in the show
Something tells me that people will see this and think they'll have to do it as well. Gotta show them the love wherever we can.
Think this is now a thing!!!
@@timandshannon03 canon!
Oh this has aged Well.
Those twenty-four of those dislikes are the moms who still believe D&D is the devils game
The last dislike is Uka'toa obviously
Wastelandhero Vecna as well
Don't forget the Briarwoods.
Uka'toaaaaa....
~~Uk’otoaaaa...~~~~
Lol yeah my mom thinks it’s a evil game because some characters have horns
I was there and was singing along. It was a magical experience, to say the least. It was my first live show and my friends and I are already talking about going to another.
Elysium Im so jealous of you’re guys! Wish I could’ve been there! Do you know how many people went? :)
@@TwiS73DShad0wZ ooh dunno. Theater was full and even though me and four other friends tried to get tickets, I was the only one able to. I bought one too many tickets due to how broken the process was and we ended up giving it away to a nice girl on the critter discord channel 😁
Wish I am able be there at least ONCE!
I was there but wasn't a mega-fan yet so I didn't know the words... eep!
1:20 its so hard to imagine that a big crowd is actually able to do multiple harmonies without any planing. Just wow
Just after uploading this, I've watched it a good 10 times back to back. Chills every time
Same man, I think I'm on my 7th listen currently. This isn't getting old anytime soon!
I’m on my 8th time and will probably listen even more because this is epic!!
27th still amazing and gives me a smile
Yeah
Only on my fifth but I am planning to keep this in my back pocket for a later date
The fact that it sounds like an army genuinley just warning their enemies of their demise. It truly is spine chilling to hear that many people singing so clearly
Imagine the potential …
I was wondering what Matt meant when they went live again and he said "that was chill inducing" or something. thank you @PhoenixHeart815 for letting Nico post this!
edit: proofreading/grammer
... *grammar
Honestly, that must have been a life-affirming moment for Sam as a musician.
Love when Taliesan started conducting the crowd.
His eldritch powers have some uses
Mannnn, I don’t like spending money on hobbies, but I will blow as much as I need to see Critical Role live if they come to Australia. This was incredible
I agree. Them coming to Aus would be amazing!
I totally agree mate! Show some love for the critters down under!
Wait... That sounds wrong.. Ah fuck it, people will understand what I mean!
I'm from across the ditch but agreed. Us Kiwis gotta give it a go.
@@davidparkes7741 Couldn't agree more
i’m so unbelievably sad i wasn’t there, i would’ve loved singing that live (tbh probably would have cried a little)
SariaGaming6 I’m such a sap I literally cried watching this lol
I did, here watching the TH-cam video of it.
Me too! What a glorious moment! All hail the Critters!
@@katelynvedwards we all did
Travis playing the drums perfectly right at the end is doing something to me... ( 1:20 )
TH-cam is broken again. It says there are dislikes.
it must be peole who didnt get to go... its the only thing that makes sense.
At least there's only 38 people who need kil.... I mean converting in to Critters.
No dude, it must be the tears of joy confusing us.
@@davidparkes7741 *83
Its the people who were headbanging too hard and thought they clicked thumbs up when upside down
when the crowd started singing along I s h o o k
When you s h o o k I *felt* that
What I love is at "Roll the Dice" moment I think it was the cast, or specifically, Matt, who we hear yell the lyric.
That was one of my favorite moments, singing the theme song with my fellow critters! I had chills!
I KNOW All of the people who watched this sung along, Don’t deny it.
Anya Taylor Guilty.
Lol yeah In my head I was too embarrassed to sing outloud
Yer darn tootin' I sang along - and proud of it!!!
Why whould I deny it?
I can feel the energy coming through the screen, I can't even imagine how magical it was for the cast sitting there.
so thats why Matt said that at the beginning after the intro
Across the land, in cities both controlled by the empire and beyond it's reach, thousands suffer in the chains of oppression. They suffer and toil in neverending darkness, knowing nothing but the choking rule of their masters. But through this darkness shines a light, a beacon of hope and freedom. A group of fighters-- freeing slaves from their chains, bringing hope to people who had never deigned to have it. As this light grows, as hope is reignited, a chant goes up. Thousands of voices raised in a thundering chorus. It is a song that chills the blood of those in power. A song that freezes the heart of tyranny. Rebellion is coming. War is on the horizon. The Mighty Nein are coming. Rise up, don't think twice. Put your fate in your hands. Take a chance.
Roll the dice.
MAN JUST reading this gave me chills!!
I love how everyone was laughing at first like "yeah, that's not going to happen"
I love that Marisha and Liam both high fived each other like this is it this how you know you've made it ❤
They power of Voice-Actor and DnD Fans:
Staying on tune whil singing in a crowd.
♥
All stand up for D&D's national anthem
Absolutely
God the cast's reactions almost wrecked me. Marisha and Liam's high-five was so sweet. What an awesome experience!!
I got shivers... The roar of "roll the dice" actually gave me goosebumps!
While the singing is out of this world amazing, I can't help but love the reactions of "WTF IS HAPPENING RIGHT NOW???" on the face of the cast. The level of joy that just makes you insensible is so palatable.
If you look closely you can see the cast getting into it also by singing along and Travis air drums
Christopher M Zdenek I love how it slowly shifts from "haha yeah this will never work" to "oh my god this is actually happening YES!"
Damn. Now I'm jealous I didn't go this year.
This was wild as someone in this audience. Feels so long ago but I still remember the moment I picked the second note on the 3-part harmony and the feeling when I realized we were really going for an actual chord. 😭👌🏻
Dear sweet Hades. As much as I love them, I really shouldn't be at events like that. It took me 15 minutes to calm down from crying at how awesome this was to even be able to comment X_X My heart won't take a live experience like this.
Amen! This got me so good! Tears fucking everywhere!!!!
Me too 😭😭😭
That is just like the Pokemon theme song everyone knows it
Except this time everyone keep singing through the second half
Lol yeah
We all know that this will happen every time now.
Oh man. I've rewatched this so many times now, and every time it gives me chills. Especially the very end - it's amazing what a group of people can accomplish without any pre-planning!
"D&D isn´t a cult!"
*an entire hall chanting together*
"Sure Jam."
The only difference between a cult and a religion is having good enough marketing. I think CR has good marketing. ;)
@@bretsheeley4034 lol yeah
So this is what Matt meant.
I got goosebumps.
Love how when Molly's grave came up the crowd just cheered for him. Like another shout of love.
That "Roll the Dice" used to induce chills whenever I saw the intro, reminding me what's at stake. Hearing them sing it like a challenge, it shows me not only what's at stake, but what's possible if you only take that leap. Thank you, Matt and CR.
Long may he reign
sincerely, a Critter.
This was my first time going to a con and seeing crit role live and this was one of the best moments of my life ❤
I think the fact that this is a 3yr old video and it's still getting comments proves how amazing this is. it's my new favourite youtube video
thank you for breaking the rules and recording that!!! Wow that had a LOT of ENERGY!! 4000+ voices!
there were only 2000 but it was very energetic
And this is what the stream viewers always miss
Luka Lee well I am sorry I am living in Russia and have NO chance at watching it live
😭😭 im broke and love in the middle of no where
@@hellsmith6249 and I live in Spain and I sleep all afternoon to be able to be awake at 2AM to see it, so I understand the pain. This was the first time I could watch it live and probably the last in a long time.
Right after the stream Immediately started looked for a video of this cause this was something I knew would be amazing- and I was not wrong or disappointed
Well I apologise for being broke as fuck and living in a motel with seven other people!
Not everyone can get up and go to a live show.
It’s like the twitch chat during the intro...but verbal. That was insane to see. Thanks for uploading this.
ACTIVATE LAIR ACTION: CRITICAL ROLE OPENING THEME
Kinda sad that they didn't use this in the video on their own channel😥
Glad i got to see it here then, so cool! 💕😁
This is amazing. I just recently got into DnD this year and it’s honestly so nice being part of a community that’s so fun, creative, accepting and loving.
It felt so awesome to be in that crowd singing. Feeling the power of everyone's voice and seeing the reactions of everyone was something I won't forget
God dammit I love this family.
I know I’m late to this, but this was EASILY my FAVORITE video I’ve watched this year.
The way the fans got hyped and everyone was reciting it in-tune to the intro and cheering joyfully with each pause between verses was just so wholesome man.
Genuinely was not expecting to feel a little tear leak out. Love you critters
1:26 gotta love that perfectly timed countdown on the right side.
I teared up a bit. God I wish I was there. I hope one day I can fly out to one of the live shows and be there.
Doesn't matter how often I return to this video. Tearing up is inevitable
This is the most beautiful thing I have seen in quite some time.
As a voice in that crowd, it was amazing.
So that’s why Matt was in awe after the intro. They didn’t show this in the full video.
I didn't expect a poor quality phone Video to make me tear up. But it did, thank you critters. I hope to get to know some of you ohne day
That's how it all started. With poor quality audio and the most powerful thing ever: emotions and storytelling
The most loving amazing hyped fan base EVER!!
Let's acknowledge how Matthew Mercer, after the thousands of people in front of him just finished delivering the sickest rendition of the critical role theme song, kept his calm and hosted a 3-4 hour live six-player game of Dungeons & Dragons. Absolute legend.
The beginning part with Travis doing the "Roh critical, critical, critical" will always bring a smile to my face, this is was just so well made. Honestly I hope I'm not the only one who hears it but if you listen closely it almost sounds like he's saying "Roll a critical"
I think the original lyrics actually are "Roll! Critical, critical."
I feel so lucky to have been here to be a part of this. It was such an organic thing and the energy was unbelievable. Everyone cried too. It was wonderful.
This is so cool, shame I couldn't be there in person.
I was there! First time seeing them live and it was everything I hoped it could be!
By far one of the coolest, most random, awesome things that I've ever been a part of. Completely spontaneous. You could just feel the love in the room. 🥰
It must be wild for them all. They just started playing their own game, and now they have random strangers singing their theme song. Wild.
I think this was the first live show they did after releasing the new intro, so hearing that sung back to them by thousands of people must have just been.... magical, for lack of a better term
Gotta love how when the rest of the cast are just shocked, Matt and Taliesin just jump whole-hog into it.
I can only imagine how happy Sam regal must’ve felt hearing hundreds of people chant his masterpiece, and let’s be real we all do that out of habit whenever we hear that tune XD
there is just something so damn magical about getting an entire room full of people singing in unison
Lol the cast’s reaction is perfect:
Sam: “Gah? Wait what? *head turn* woooooaaaaaahhhhhh nice!”
Talisen: “*conducts*, *head banging* oh wow this is awesome”
Laura: “oh my, oh this is gonna be a thing now, yeahhhhh”
Matt: “0.o my whole life has led up to this moment”
Travis: *pumped up fist pounding and head banging* “yeaaaahhhhhh, let’s goooo”
Marisha and Liam: “ahhhhh this is so cool!!! *high-five*”
Loved the crescendo with harmonies and how they all just lit up with the crowd.
Just gotta say... this is the best online community.
When they sang "your turn" in rising octaves i loved it. The audience held all the notes perfectly
THIS IS why I love certain fandoms.
I have never once watched critical role and I feel chills from this, what a community
This is the video that pushed me over the top to start to watch Critical Role. I have heard of the show before, but 5 hours per episode for hundreds of episodes? But after watching this I thought: I want to be a part of this. And I am very glad that I did, because it is so much more than I expected.
