Makes sense, according to MrRhexx mimics love the taste of beer and will shapeshift into kegs just to get the stuff. Also, did you know the most common mimics are intelligent mimics (ones that comprehend speech and the like) while the animalistic ones are rare?
At one session our Assassin was supposed to infiltrate a criminal gang. When he was asked what he's good at his answer was "I'm good at backstabbing people". He got thrown out.
He was actually sincere. His thought process was like "I'm an Assassin. Assassins are good at backstabbing because by that they do lot of damage. So that's what I'm good at!" And to remind people: There's no skill for the Rouge that are called Backstab. :)
Regarding the "always use your power for good" skit, I used to run a Barbarian who thought he was a wizard, and his signature spell was "got your nose"... which was mainly an excuse to punch people in the face, and cause hilarity to ensue. I once performed this trick on an NPC, who crit-failed their perception roll, and used this exact same line. I am not allowed to play barbarians anymore. =[
That Ogre Ninja cracks me up. Reminds me of a character I run in the MMO Mabinogi, who's an overweight Giant Ninja. Always entertaining in any game. ^_^
My sister once made a barbarian who thought he was a wizard named harry. His parents were wizards so he figured he was one too. No one had the heart to tell him the truth
yea, I've got a pretty tough campaign going because everyone wanted to play a magic user so the only mildly tanky characters are the cleric and the druid... probably should stick that into a module for the sake of the party's survival and some laughs.
I think I'll try it. The party I'm running a game for right now is short on healing, they have 2 rogues, a paladin, a warlock, and a bard who, in the first battle they participated in, almost killed one of the rogues with thunderwave. Then in the process of looting, the bard tried to steal coins out of the paladin's hand, and the paladin used divine smite on him for it. It'd be fun to freak them out with a trap that healed them.
One of my groups decided they want to come up with a name... they took half an hour and only came up with "The Team"... Lets just say the NPC's roasted them constantly for that
Ethan D My groups tend to go the other way: long, complicated names usually referencing some foreign language that we end up just calling a severely watered-down version, like "the jewels of Dejuhyansia" and they end up getting called Judsy.
We use the convention of old timey folks of naming the team a very long and overlycomplicated name that you'd see published by a philosophy student during 1800s America, then come up with a cool nickname among ourselves and confuse the courts of the lands when we don't reference our legal team names.
we almost got called "Doug and Friends". We ended up becoming "Crusaders of the Truth" for our official name, but as a name for the party we call ourselves Doug and Friends.
Crybaton ah dang it my king now feels awkward and has to spend the night at your castle! And my two bishops are caught up in the fields smelling lilacs!
My pawns have gone off to the bakery to bring a cake to a tea party with the queen, causing her to feel bad for not having brought anything to my pawn’s tea party the week before.
I liked the Chess Sketches more, than I should. XD Only thing was left, was: - "Yahtzee!" - "You don't know anything about Chess, do you?" - "We're playing Chess?"
When we entered the tavern, the bartender asked why we had so many weapons. I replied “mimics”. He laughed, we laughed, the table laughed, we killed the table. It was a good night.
My table had an identical situation to the first one. I was leading the party down a dark and dusty hallway, with a large double door at the end. When I opened the door, a booming voice echoed around the room "LEAVE NOW OR SUFFER 1000 CURSES." I immediately closed the door, but as I did so, my passive perception heard someone whisper "wow. That usually doesn't work." We killed them all. Damn deuregar. Stupid invisibility.
I remember when we called our cool heist team "The Professionals". Needless to say our first session ended with several explosions, a burning house, a bloody street brawl, and our stealth guy bleeding out on the floor of the bad guy's base (luckily we managed to convince the cops that they started it).
I do love the armchair connundrum one, it's spot on. Like, most people don't have enough comfortable chairs for everyone but they do have enough "chairs" if you count the one with viper so, since they never sit in it, they never think it needs to get replaced.
How can anyone NOT want to sit next to Ben? Ben's hilarious!!! Why do you think I'm binge watching your all the videos in your channel - especially the Abserd ones!?!
I absolutely loved this, Ben. I only just recently discovered you the other day to scratch that "D&D Itch" since I haven't played a session in a long while, and this had me laughing hard. Well done! I'd love to see more of this!!
The first one reminds me of my group were in this giant garden, get to final room inside is an animated bramble and stacks of compost (like 30ft high). Shoots spikes at dwarf npc. Wondering what to do, when suddenly, our ifrit sorcerer asked something, "isnt compost highly flammable" we then procced to have him use his burning hands to start a flash burn and close door immediately. We would have reveled in it more, if it weren't for the npc that was guiding us turning into a hag behind us and attacking.
reminds me of a short video, "the smartest Batman thug ever". the thug hears a noise, opens a door, sees Batman, steps back and closes the door, and walks away!
next to ben best joke. hello! god ben i wish you could make longer versions of campaigns animated.. they have been the funniest thing ive seen in awhile.
I had a campaign where we literally did walk in to find a massive boss and then just closed the door and left. He was too big to fit through the door so he couldn't follow us. The GM was so pissed, but in retrospect shouldn't have made it so we could just use side hallways and completely pass the whole fight and continue with the quest.
Last week when I saw this for the first time, I had tears coming out of my eyes before the first sketch was finished. Full disclosure: I lost count of how many times I replayed that piece. HE-LAIR-EE-US
Tiefling: "I stick my unlit torch into the magical healing fire."

Mood.
The barkeeper asked why we carried weapons on us in the bar.
I said "mimics."
The barkeeper laughed,
the party laughed,
the table laughted,
we killed the table.
It was a good time.
Interesting, so we’re their weapons mimics too or did you hear about mimics in the bar?

Ooh. Thanks for answering m8
No prob! My TH-cam didn't tell my until today that there was a response to my comment. Otherwise I'd answer a lot earlier. :P
That'a alright
I'm putting magic healing fire into my campaign.
Falls into Fire
Me: „ Aaah im Burning im Burning Help me!“
Teammate: „ Dude, that is healing Fire“
Me: Stops... „ ooooooh that makes Sence“.
It'd be an effective way to seal away undead, putting up healing fire traps. Also a good way to keep the undead OUT of places as well.
Good for you
Same

He should have been called tubbymura
You mean, he didn't ACTUALLY rip their nose off? What kinda barbarian is that?
My sister once made a barbarian who thought he was a wizard named harry. His parents were wizards so he figured he was one too. No one had the heart to tell him the truth
Skull Dogz? That makes us sound like an 80's street gang..... I love it. Best line ever
But is it as good a name as "The turtle *FRIENDS* "
the medical fire trap thing, totally make sense to me
should try it in my campaign
yea, I've got a pretty tough campaign going because everyone wanted to play a magic user so the only mildly tanky characters are the cleric and the druid... probably should stick that into a module for the sake of the party's survival and some laughs.
You can also have enemies run into a trap and get healed to the chagrin of the party who assumed it was dangerous.
It’s even better since no one expects fire from a trap to be beneficial.
I think I'll try it. The party I'm running a game for right now is short on healing, they have 2 rogues, a paladin, a warlock, and a bard who, in the first battle they participated in, almost killed one of the rogues with thunderwave.

Unless if your undead of course.

your "the team? The team of what idiots?" Just messing with you but i feel like that is close to what they might have said.
Yeah, the npcs XD

Aw I’d sit by Ben!
That's adorable. You're adorable. Stop being adorable!
@@RaynmanPlays lmao
I am totally stealing the dishes joke.
I already did
Dishes blatant theft!
Same!
Dishes-joke is mine!
Dish joke is dishtasteful!
"Blue skidoo, we can too!" -my attitude all the time... followed by being sucked into a painted world and being chased by the grim reaper.
She won't chase you unless you attack her first.
oh what would i give to get chased by priscilla.
I never killed her...I mean i eventually googled her drop and figured it just wasn't worth it. She was the no waifu.
No one was obviously spiderbae.
Bfdia reference 😃😃😃
That could easily be an own show.... I would love to watch more Tea-Party chess XD
Crybaton ah dang it my king now feels awkward and has to spend the night at your castle! And my two bishops are caught up in the fields smelling lilacs!
My pawns have gone off to the bakery to bring a cake to a tea party with the queen, causing her to feel bad for not having brought anything to my pawn’s tea party the week before.
I would sit next to Ben
In the words of Anakin:
"Liar!!!"
Darken De la Espada okay...I might sit on the sofa arm, but that's still next to Ben...kinda...there's a gap in between
You could always bring a piece of cardboard or wood to put in the crack between the cushions.
You are a madman
**sits beside Ben** whispers "are we going to troll? Or be boring and serious?"
I liked the Chess Sketches more, than I should. XD
Only thing was left, was:
- "Yahtzee!"
- "You don't know anything about Chess, do you?"
- "We're playing Chess?"
I agree
What is that from?
"He's forming his pawns into MegaChessatron"
-"we're playing Chess?"
-"yes"
-"am I winning?"
-"...yes"
Standard set of 7 DND dice... roll them all. All 1's YAHTZEE!
The bard in the party tells a joke. Everyone starts laughing and so does the table🙀
When we entered the tavern, the bartender asked why we had so many weapons. I replied “mimics”. He laughed, we laughed, the table laughed, we killed the table. It was a good night.
fucking mimics
The last sketch... ouch. Ben, you okay?
Stab the table
Minics... nuff said
Throw it onto the armchair
Roll: natural 20
unless the chair next to it would hunt you down and kill you in your sleep if you kill the table
Mfw the table rolls higher initiative than me O_o
We were playing and someone threw a torch into an Alchemists tower. Needless to say, the whole area burned for 10 weeks.
The beacons are lit. Gondor calls for aid!
Should have thrown in some healing fire
Skull dogzz 4 lyf
Hey, it's like 100x better than naming your party after a terrible movie from 2 years ago for the sake of a dumb joke!
Sounds like they get into a lot of...
Skulldoggery.
I'll show myself out.
they better not come near the aviary, that's TUNNEL SNAKE TERRITORY! TUNNEL SNAKES RULE!
Id name a mercenary group the skull dogzz
Thats my new guild name in eso
Your videos are awesome!!! Actually got me into D&D
My table had an identical situation to the first one. I was leading the party down a dark and dusty hallway, with a large double door at the end.

I'd sit next to you Ben. Go Skull Doggzz!
Travis Harris id sit on his lap...
Are you a Skill Doggzz?
I really enjoyed that change of pace
*Gets bitten by snakes*
"OW!"
Off in the distance: "I WARNED YOU..."
2:04 "The Turtle F*ckers!"
The table is my 2018 mood
what about 2020? :-P
"I attack the gazebo"
Too late. You have awakened the gazeebo. It chases you down and eats you.
I absolutely loved this video! And every single part was funny as hell!
I remember when we called our cool heist team "The Professionals". Needless to say our first session ended with several explosions, a burning house, a bloody street brawl, and our stealth guy bleeding out on the floor of the bad guy's base (luckily we managed to convince the cops that they started it).
Your videos make me feel good in a time where I need it the most. Also because of your videos, I got into D&D and made some friends. Thanks Man.
Your writing is great, man. These shorter skits really put that on display more than ever. Love your videos
Oh fuck that dishes joke got me XD
i wish i had freinds that could play d&d with me
That is just *sob* so sad (fr not even sarcasm) d&d is such a fun experience with friends
Have you tried roll20?
same dood
Telling a joke about mimiks in a bar
I laugh, the barkeeper laughs
all people in the bar laughs, the Table laughs
the whole bar kills the table
"Skull Dogs" remains one of my all time favorite Puffin Forest scenes.
I love your videos. Like for real thank you. I always watching them whenever I see one pop up.
There are 12 bits here which is approximately 57 too few
my opinions are facts I get it!
I used to get it :'(
No bad no stop bad
y u do dis
Wait
12+57=69
69 is a meme
One good meme is the Illuminati
Wait...
69 divided by 23 is 3
PUFFIN FOREST IS ILLUMINATI
2:45 I like how his face doesn't change at the prospect of sitting on broken glass, only the vipers.
Four years later and this is still funny!! You should make more of these, Ben!! 😄😄
See you dungeon cowboy...
Finally I found the reference. That last one tho. He's gonna have to carry that weight
I am not even done with the video and "Dishes a clever joke" was so precious. I would be happy to be in a team with a joke master like that.
I do love the armchair connundrum one, it's spot on. Like, most people don't have enough comfortable chairs for everyone but they do have enough "chairs" if you count the one with viper so, since they never sit in it, they never think it needs to get replaced.
The tables a mimic kill it kill it with fire
People ask why I carry a sword every where, I reply Mimics.
They laugh
I laugh
The table laughs...
I stab the table
Jay15951 Weren't you paying attention? It's HEALING FIRE!
Yeah been waiting for this man love the channel
The chair vipers is a story I know all too well. When you're busting out lawn furniture, you've overbooked.
How can anyone NOT want to sit next to Ben? Ben's hilarious!!! Why do you think I'm binge watching your all the videos in your channel - especially the Abserd ones!?!

This was GREAT! I hope you come up with more of these!
Wow, you're animation has really improved!
That part when you jumped into the picture was hilarious.
Okay, that magical healing fire was actually pretty cool.
Not going to lie, Ben your videos are awesome. Ive watched each one at least twice
What do you have to offer?
Dishes.
Dishes?
Dishes a clever joke.
I am SO using this!

The blue's clues one is the best.
Love the Cowboy Bebop throwback at the end there!
This was a really fun format. GJ
This is some great...
SKETCH COMEDY!!!
(Insert face of the guy with the Kraken pun from the Yawning Portal video)
Look theres a clue in the obviously evil looking painting. Lets go in.
2:07 my favorite skit of the video.
The dishes joke needs to end with the Dr. Banner walking into the sunset music.
I love the way you said hello, I just wanted to hug you
Roleplaying chess pieces. The mark of a true grand master.
Man that fingertip trick wizard one slayed me.
Please do more of these! They are so funny and awesome! Plus, it would be a good way to practice one-off animations.
No matter how many times I watch this the skull dogz clip always kills me
I love the chess skits so much.
love the blue's clue part!
reminds me of a short video, "the smartest Batman thug ever".
the thug hears a noise, opens a door, sees Batman, steps back and closes the door, and walks away!
SNEAK ATTACK! D&D PSA.
no step on snek
TOOO SUBTLE!!!
The Plah Wizard sketch really got me.
I saw this and i was like yes
This was hilarious my dude!
Feels so Robot Chicken esque! I want to see more like this!
2:29 That's some top-notch commentary right there.
One of the better videos.
More like this please. 😃
next to ben best joke. hello! god ben i wish you could make longer versions of campaigns animated.. they have been the funniest thing ive seen in awhile.
The Team-Name sketch was the best one :D
Haha the chess sketches were brilliant !
The chess ones are the best! Both of them are so funny! 😂
omg Bens little "helllo" was so cute I'd definitely sit next to him, especially when viper bites to the butt is the other option.
House burns down with magical healing fire wakes up in a pile of ashes
House burns down with magical healing fire, wakes up to find damp spot fixed, the bathroom redecorated, as well as a new extension built.
Omgosh I couldn't stop laughing. This style really works!
i'll sit with you ben... and bring brownies, that nobody else can have, except those from Fort Sofa
I just found your channel yesterday as as of now i just realized i have watched everything.... DAMMIT lol
These are absolutely amazing.
Viper seat and table are EPIC!
I hope this gets a million views.
Why was I drinking water when he told that dishes joke. I even thought about choking on the water, I think it would have been worth it.
I had a campaign where we literally did walk in to find a massive boss and then just closed the door and left. He was too big to fit through the door so he couldn't follow us.

Awesome video Ben!
That hello was the most innocent thing I’ve ever heard🥺
Our group was originally going to be called the fellowship of the dice, but we swapped dice for nerds
I love the blues clues joke XD I grew up on that show
As a chess player I can say that this video is fully accurate.
the armchair one really had me :)
1:25 "I am the table!"
LMAO !! Thank you. The 1st scene was awesome
