[@chronoxtreme2427]

All of these were gold, but Raphael saying "Awww, was that Gale's grandad" in full Raphael swagger is something I never knew I needed lmao

[@Li_Tobler]

Raphael's delivery reminded me *SO* much of Lucien Lachance, another diabolically seductive, depraved and handsome character, that I had to double-check if it wasn't the same actor! I'm living for their voices and deliveries. Why can't men just talk like this? 😂😂

[@GayLPer]

The original line was already hilarious enough, especially since Karlach knows about Minsc and Jaheira and such, but Elminster? Basically one of the most powerful wizards Faerun has ever seen? No clue. Raphael, though, makes it sound like a deliberate insult XD

[@Keenestofbeans]

It’s pure gold 🥹

[@colleen6440]

It sounded so threatening, I fear for Gale's grandad.

[@scw55]

The Four Naan sounded like he was on a date.

"It's dangerous to go alone, take this" sounds like Astarion's about to hand you half of his weapon arsenal because you told him to stay at camp 💀

[@glassphoenix9095]

"take this," he says, with the same cadence one would say 'think fast!' because he is throwing one of his best knives at you from a few feet away

[@highdefinition450]

he sounds so done with everything lmao, as usual of course

[@muttthingy9908]

you can almost imagine all the extra things he's not saying just from the delivery. "ugh, i dont really WANT to go with you, but it IS dangerous to go alone. hmm, well if you're going to do this solo, i suppose you might as well take this!" (throws dagger at you)

[@jeremygeller9145]

I was hoping he’d doe the “come back when your a little richer” line

“It’s dangerous to go alone. Take this!” Astarion before giving a child a knife.

for some reason I thought the little sigh was the quote. like, he was just quoting Link or something. just a little gay sigh ✨✨✨

[@wolfmoon09able]

When they said "Mass Effect" I KNEW which it would be. Jaheria was the right choice. The dice knew.

[@Sasha-mb3rv]

They were all amazing but Jaheira's "if my grandmother had wheels" made me cry of laughter 😂

[@Bexrt]

It’s one of the funniest videos I have ever seen (and I have seen it so many times and still cry laughing), and somehow it just fits Jaheira so much 😂 she is Gino of BG3

[@governor_explosion]

As a non-Brit, what's the context of the "grace of a dump truck with no wheels" clip? Because that is an AMAZING phrase.

[@gfeltsking]

Its an old competition show wherein contestants hold a dinner party in their homes and they score each other. At the end the winner gets a thousand pounds :) search Come Dine with Me sad little life jane and you should find it!

[@joeycrunch]

It’s a clip from a competition show called Come Dine with Me, where the batch of contestants was particularly fractious. From wiki: “The show features five amateur chefs who live in the same town or area, who each host a three-course dinner party for the other contestants at their own home. Each competitor then rates the host's food and hosting skills during the taxi journey home, with the highest-scoring chef winning £1,000 cash. The show often features guests with clashing personalities.”

[@spctvl03]

as also non-Brit, I thought it was wife-swap or something lol - either way perfect delivery as always

[@lyntonfleming]

@@Icecreamandradness Not all heroes wear capes. I came here to find this. I love Come Dine With Me, but I've never seen that episode. Gonna fix that now. Jane sounds like she's gonna be fun to watch if she caused that much of a reaction. lmao

[@kabxksb]

Its not really spoilers since, you know, the clip is about Jane winning 😂 but heres context; In the episode, Jane had her night to cook before the man (I am so sorry I have forgotten this legends name atm 😭) Essentially, she deliberately sabotaged his night by acting up, having issues with everything, and just being a bitch which made him mad, and because of her actions he was, less than pleasant, which made the other guests uncomfortable. Jane's whole plan was to ruin his night and score him low while also ensuring that everyone else scored him low (iirc, the other two contestants had mid tier nights so Jane was clearly the front runner) Imagine going 4 nights with these strangers, having them cook for you and you being fair with their food and stuff, scoring them fairly and on the final night, when the winner is annouced, the clear front runner deliberately makes your night bad to ensure she wins the money. Being in your own home, being disrespected, and having to announce that you came last because of this person, and that she has won. I do not blame him for his reaction and snapping, he is no saint but he was absolutely done dirty by Jane. Her whole "omg I won???? No way!!!!" is so fake, because she knew she won by sabotaging and manipulating In the UK we love our insults, and Jane having the grace and decorum of a reversing dump truck without wheels is a perfect description, since neither the truck nor Jane have any grace or decorum 😂 Overall a kind of average episode iirc, but it is infamous for the results clip alone and for that we will always love it 👌🏻

[@PoisonIvy-1138]

Never thought I’d ever hear Raphael say the word naan, but here we are. 🤣 Love it!
