All Work No Play: Tap Dancing

[@hubberducky]

There are only two versions of Sam’s wardrobe: plaid shirts and “I dressed while on crack.” Both versions are shown in this video.

[@m.g.4446]

This comment made me lol for real. And continue to do so

So true lol.

[@zoebaz6969]

I feel like the matt's face t-shirts/making fun of dallas cowboys may be something of an in-between?

So, Sam Riegel is raising a young Matt Mercer, and Liam O Brien is raising a female Travis Willingham. Is that correct?

sam always plays tiny characters, i just kinda assumed he was tiny irl too. it's so weird to see how tall he is.

[@lisarodjer4898]

Dimitri LK he has the personality of a leprechaun, the fact that he is like six feet tall is just so wrong

[@davidmcdanel427]

He is the second tallest on Crit Role just behind Travis. I onced looked it up and Talison (too tired to think of spelling) is, per the search, only 5'4ish.

[@princessblazena]

Same!!! I'm shook!! 😱🤣🤣

[@northstridr]

Watching these two just being themselves makes me appreciate how good of an actor Liam is and how blissfully fortunate Sam is haha

[@sunriseseance]

Agreed! Liam is absolutely incredible. And Sam is charming as hell.

[@nekoali2]

So... Liam did telemarketing for a while. Now the evil side of Caleb makes sense....

[@shadowstrike7246]

Maybe his experience telemarketing gave him the idea to give Caleb PTSD.

[@J_Kwan]

Everytime he sees a telephone with a ring wire he has to make a wisdom saving throw.

[@patdes19]

Next week Sam and Liam learn to pole dance

[@aaronghunter]

'It was a surprisingly short lesson, and the first one to involve the police!'

[@thewingedporpoise]

I would absolutely love to see that

[@swandrawn]

I would ABSOLUTELY love to watch Liam and Sam do a "competitive" timed shopping spree in a toy store. It could be a hilarious event for a children's charity 😂😂😂

[@RAWatson1989]

Would love if they did it with OSD, for the families that are here waiting for their soldiers to come home

[@InquisitorYulwei]

Its so weird seeing Liam and Sam's legs. I didn't realize Sam was that tall??

[@jesthered7966]

🤣 yes he's very tall second in line to Travis

[@D.Jay.]

He's 6 foot even. I guess he seems shorter because of the tiny DnD characters he plays. Also as you can tell by the dance pants he has long legs but a shorter torso, so he looks shorter sitting down too.

[@cayser182]

Yeah same, I had him pinned as below average height. I think it's due to his attention grabbing attitude that media has us attribute to shorter people.

[@KTr0ck]

sam is lithe like a gazelle omfg

[@joelmattsson9353]

Right? 😂 Don't know if it's because I first knew him as Scanlan or what, but I feel like he just *looks* short.

[@Lukos0036]

Yall should go to a haunted house with like...Matt or Travis or something for a Halloween special. Or make Travis go shopping, he will love that.

[@wildoneizzy]

So you just want to see Travis punch someone either out of shock/fear or anger? Lol

[@GhostBrigader]

Who wouldn't?

[@silversage8103]

This needs to happen ASAP!!!

[@asuraaoki1925]

This was pitched to Marisha and lemme tell ya she seemed pretty pleased with the idea LOL

[@RavenStorm1031]

i wanna see taliesin go as well lol!!

[@culthosmythos]

I REALLY wish we could see Marisha's reaction to this- we know she's heavily involved in the making of this show, but also has a huge dance background herself. Actually, better thought- imagine if she'd walked in and just gone "Step aside boys, here's how you're supposed to do it!"

[@danielarosindo]

She probably was laughing so hard she cried the entire time

[@amandac.s.9452]

My favorite thing in this whole episode is Liam going into a Jersey accent when talking about high school! I relate so hard! I don't have a thick accent, but when I start talking about my hometown, I turn into a Southern belle!

[@ChrisCamp914]

Omg same, I do my Brooklyn accent, and called on it all the time when talking about my hometown.

[@whowasibeing]

I feel you both, any time I end up in especially small town America, I revert to a drawl. I don't really know where it comes from, but I caught myself doing it on a trip a month ago.

[@TildaM1994]

I grew up in a small bogan town in Australia, when the accent comes out it still surprises me XD it’s great when it comes out as it is not what people expect lol

[@stephenmilligan6709]

I do this! I'm from Texas (North Texas) so I have a slight draw and there are a few words I pronounce like a southerner, but when I'm out of town it gets SOOO much worse. Lol.

[@IronResistance]

Liam doing his Joey Wheeler accent was super good ahaha

[@PapaGooseOllie]

As a tapdancer myself, I am thoroughly impressed by their ability to pick up on those movies so quickly. Also I need Sam's tap outfit, his tapfit if you will.

[@sydneyjfdean]

I know I am 5 years late here, but I agree. This was not “no talent”! I am certain I was 10 and had tapped all my life before I could shuffle step like that.

Critical role cast paintball.

[@888pil]

yes!!!

[@deffdefying4803]

The paintball colours correspond to colours indicative of their current characters. Fjord = Sea-Green Beau = Teal (because of her *sleeveless* overcoat) Caleb = Orange (because fire) Nott = Olive Green Jester = Royal Blue (because she's well-off and also very blue) Caduceus = Pink Yasha = Grey DM = Purple (idk why, I just associate DMs with the colour purple)

[@virginiamooney4105]

I would give anything to see this happen

[@EightThreeEight]

@@deffdefying4803 Purple is often associated with positions of power because it was an extremely difficult, and therefore expensive, colour to produce in ancient times.

[@ruzzfeASMR]

Sam's regular voice is so soothing.

[@ghomerhust]

[@artisannoteworthy]

Male gymnast here. Pre team isn't necessarily a scam, if they work hard and want to get better they move up but if they don't, they'll just stay there and probably leave after losing interest.

Kind of annoying when the camera pans past it. I tried doing some tap when I was younger. Did some dance classes for theater too. Damn...more and more I keep wanting to get back into it. Taking on a mic at work all day about animals helps scratch the itch sometimes, but nothing like a great cast and fun times putting on a production... Thanks Liam and Sam!
