[@KeiYuichi]

Greg losing his wife will always be painful to watch 😭

[@Skinflaps_Meatslapper]

bring back greg's wife

[@ewoksithlord286]

The baby as well! Bunch of monsters.

[@mr.truffles9294]

I do remember Bodger have picnics with Greg's wife in "Time sensitive quests" sooo....

[@jase_allen]

True, but a the same time, I love the patch notes.

[@ethannguyen9638]

Like actually where’s our sequel

[@Croob22]

The fact that Ben can go from that heartwrenching Fireheart skit to the one with Britt and Ellie is just a testament to his acting

[@hoid9407]

Followed by Death Knight! Dude's got range!!

[@cornlips7247]

His character in rekt is 10/10 also. We need him to return.

[@aiko0928]

​@@cornlips7247 why, is he not on recent skits?

[@MarcFireHart]

I approve this!

[@cornlips7247]

@MarcFireHart the character Ben plays in the "rekt' series. That character is only in that series. He is my favorite character Ben plays. Anyone who has not seen Rekt needs to asap. There is a Playlist for it.

[@Ookami20]

Greg losing his happiness and wife but Rowan getting married TWICE without knowing 😭

[@Render90]

Fireheart episode is one of my favourite ones. The amount of emotion expressed and the pain that you can see in Ben's face is absolutely breathtaking. I honestly think that Ben's a great actor and that was his best perfomance yet.

[@Scrodet]

When she sent the friend request, Ben's smile actually made me smile lol

[@datboinate420]

Another good Ben one was when he brought the typewriter into Playtech because it was horrible for gaming

[@majinpikaczubak3663]

I actually cried 😢

[@RichiePootle]

I like how Greg sneakily keeps one of the gold coins while ‘helping’ the muggers

[@yuGesreveR]

Greg's wife and Fireheart's story... I just can't watch these two sketches, they are too sad, I can't help crying. That's why they are the best. Pure art makes people feel true emotions. Anyway, VLDL - you are the best!!!

[@mrbaab5932]

FireHeart 🔥 ♥ should be a guess star on the Misfits as the threat Rob uses to get the Misfits to move along.

[@fransorka8074]

but Fireheart story is so true... I met a lot of guys like his buddy Ben in online games. Its heartwarming reminder we should be better to each other.

[@MarcFireHart]

I know this guy.... FireHart....Friend to all!... and can do magic. 😆

[@Psychlist1972]

The herbalist vs assassin class sketch is one of my favorites.

[@jase_allen]

I love how all of the Skycraft patch notes reference past sketches. It's a nice touch.

[@Ramherewas]

Right? Especially the patch that child mode now applies to NPCs that one was hilarious

[@Psychlist1972]

The death knight sketch continues to be one of the most oddly wholesome. It's basically Beauty and the Beast, but I love it. Baelin's reaction with the fish was perfect.

[@spookpm9696]

Greg trying to find his wife needs to be a quest line

[@wojtek1582]

It should have been a second longer movie. We had one about our brave, eloquent fishermen, so now should be about our incredible garlic farmer.

[@skookum112]

@@wojtek1582either that or his villain arc

[@DreadShadow117]

Fireheart is so relatable. Might be one of the most emotional skits they've ever had

[@tobiasrose4498]

I just had exact the same thought while watching it now.

[@Kalorag]

Even my cold black hearth had a little twitch...

[@elishamorgan]

I don't know when or how I found VLDL but they have become my absolute favorite channel. Their quality, multi talented cast, writing, and production value is all through the roof. I would argue they make better stuff than 99% of Hollywood. I laugh, tear up, get angry, get excited and I even get invested in characters! Thanks so much for your amazing content guys.

[@ralhamami]

Every single cast member, from the core team to the recurring folks, is gold. Not to mention all of the amazing work that the behind-the-scenes staff put in. All of them make VLDL so great. Here's to even further success in 2024. Whoo!

[@MattysModernLife]

"Wife Update" was probably the most heartbreaking comedy skit in history.

[@nickbraet7493]

Damn, Fireheart really got me. Superb acting by Ben, though. Great job! And Rowan being unaware he's a married man and a father had me in stitches.

[@eliasar5051]

Greg´s wife and Fireheart always get me. Such wholesome yet heartbreaking skits. I really hope to see more of Gronkboy and Fireheart, and finally a patch that will re-add Greta permanently.

[@ScarletGaming95]

The sad thing is there are people who really are like Fireheart, its a skit that kinda hits close to home for me, I at one point used video games as a form of escape and I was the character I played, I'd not be as vocal as Fireheart but I was very much like him in wanting someone to be friends with or talk to

[@McAwesomeReaper]

Nah.

[@aiko0928]

​@@ScarletGaming95🤍

[@venanziadorromatagni1641]

This is about the 5th compilation that had Greg‘s wife in it. Please stop! How can I bear it? I‘m all out of tears!

[@diyeana]

We all are, and yet they seem to keep squeezing out more.

[@keegs1163]

Fireheart always chokes me up big time. Poor fellah ;(

[@ilpoomatili9549]

Wait, isn't that a Warrior cats character?

[@JustLilyTbh]

@@ilpoomatili9549 It is lol, but that doesn't mean the name can't be used for other things! I thought the same when I first saw the skit, viva has a perk on patreon that a certain tier gets entered into a lottery, and whoever wins has their names in a skit. I've seen a person on discord with the name Fireheart, so I assume they entered their name and got chosen for this skit.

[@JustLilyTbh]

@@ilpoomatili9549 It is! But that doesn't mean the name can't be used for other things! I thought the same thing when I first watched it lol.

[@diyeana]

There's a reason I love VLDL, and this compilation is the perfect summary. I have a particular fondness for Ben. He's a brilliant artist, in more ways than one. Thanks, !

[@arashino]

Rowan kidnapping Greg's wife from the Epic NPC Man universe is the best crossover I have ever seen. I wonder how many adventurers have received the quest to search for her.

[@somberballad]

Okay but Ben in the Fireheart skit is top tier, so so good.

[@thinkinginsideout4053]

The problem with VLDL is that they don't have a problem.

[@Ant4gon1st]

Yeah they're just so perfect aren't they... Suspiciously perfect. I wouldn't be surprised if they turned out to be serial killers who murder their fans.

[@robinnordqvist-pettersson457]

Rowan is probably the leader in that case

[@mathnerd314159265]

not enough uploads, they need a daily video

[@NerdWytch]

​@@Ant4gon1stThat was such a deep cut and I love it, thank you 😆

[@Ant4gon1st]

@@NerdWytch Happy to serve :D

[@lagoondiver]

Thank you for including the Fireheart skit ❤ I remember when I saw it the first time, I was laughing so hard already because I was so happy to see that character again but when Fireheart suddenly started talking about Ben I chocked up because it reminded me so much of myself. But at the end I was laughing again though I still had the tears in my eyes. Such a rollercoaster 💙

[@mochataite]

exactly. reminds me so much of myself and my struggles. i was full on sobbing by the time she sent a friend request

[@RearAdmiralTootToot]

Imagine Rowan still getting the store manager job even after screaming "you betrayed me father" in front of them so many times.

[@Becktastic01]

My faves are all the mushroom sketches, so great. Btw Rowan is so lucky to have a great friend and flatmate like Claire.

[@anonomyss]

I find it really endearing that they would put Blue Zone Addict at the end of the would-be most viewed compilation video of this year so that they could include the "Don't do drugs" plea. My respect for this crew is just astronomical at this point.

[@kathrina3339]

Epic NPC man definitely had much more amazing skits in 2023. It's a pity there isn't enough space for all of them :) I think it was awesome year for you! ❤💙

[@jackparris3522]

How have I only just realised ‘gimme all your gold, or I’ll mug ya’ means the same thing Giving gold is getting mugged lol

[@pretzelmaker3122]

No, it doesn't. These are two different concepts.

[@toefu6182]

I love how great the environment and props are now. You won't really notice the difference but take a closer look and them swords and stuff are looking nice and clean.

[@vinnyoz4709]

The fireheart part 2 skit has literally helped me so much. It feels good to know that I’m not alone in my feelings. The fact that so many others also relate to this has really healed me

[@Screm]

The lifesize mouse with all the requirements that's $1,400 will never not be funny "Fuck me.....that is a big mouse...perfect....perfect"

[@4ur3n]

Greg kept one gold when he was splitting it to the muggers 🤣

[@msharp6887]

It was a service fee.

[@peaceofmind6804]

Just a great group of friends that just so happen to be great actors as well!

[@perlundgren7797]

Well... At least the core people met through acting, so "just so happen to" feels like a bit of a stretch.

[@arvo8660]

Alan as the ring girl almost killed me 😂😂

[@Wintermute909]

I'm almost relieved the store hasn't gone totally Pulp Fiction yet! I don't think youtube is ready for Zed catching "a couple of flies."!

[@dreamerofthorns]

During red shirt rowan, I noticed Ellie's expression tighten up _just a little_ when Rowan started yelling at Adam. It's the little things. I love them.

[@JessSharp-eyed77]

When death night is a sweetie its simultaneously sweet and hilarious!

[@chrisu7022]

Fireheart is such a relatable character and to see him open up like that makes me feel like anyone can who's in that situation. Thank you Fireheart!!!

[@KateJacksonLincoln]

"Mouse My Size" is still arguably my favourite ever episode of "Bored". Absolutely genius level of comedy.

[@specialk5523]

Can we please have a quest to bring Greta, Greg’s wife, back? Please?

[@lovinglifebutnotonearth3909]

Ben is so sweet and cute when he is honest and vulnerable

[@brpers1l151]

Oh man that human sized mouse skitch has me on the floor every time. Totally forgot the infinite muggers loop was last year, loved that one with Gregg taking his 1 gold share for his services. And Gregg's wife pulls the feels every single time. Fireheart also was one of the most surprising skits from last year, really felt like a different style video but beautifully handled and carefully crafted to deliver a lovely mental health message. 2023 was a great year!

[@ewoksithlord286]

Ben actually getting what he asked for for a change is now my favorite episode of Bored

[@deancosens5710]

I still want to see the aftermath of Fireheart gaining a friend - that skit was so touching but I bet there's a lot more that could come from that injection!

[@mrbaab5932]

Death Knight is what B.O.B. from NPC D&D will turn into if they fail.

[@lomiification]

The proper quest line, if he as a PC wasn't taken off on Greg's excellent adventure

[@adultchildofanadult]

Ellie is at her very best in the first skit. Perfectly played.

[@alexandrefernandes1463]

You know a male player has never been married when he says to a female player, "What are you doing outside the kitchen?" Any wise man knows that in the kitchen is where she keeps the knives and other weighty throwable things.

[@Mazin_Kaiser]

I met a Fireheart once. We are still friends. And we play from time to time

[@mattquinn2215]

Yall gotta give Greg his wife back. That shit was not dingo

[@x_Rotten_x]

Not Adam as a ring girl 🤣😭

[@lknanml]

Ben knocked that self realization skit out of the park....

[@Fuzzycat16]

"oh that's a cute fucking mushroom" Best Quote.

[@brettdecourcyharris5691]

For a comedy group, their acting is outstanding 😂. No matter how absurd, it actually feels real in their universes of their skits.

[@GymJAM117]

16:13 Ok Brit as a witch wife would be wonderful because I did not see the honey 😂

[@aaronburdon221]

It's probably because you don't put honey in the fridge because it'll make it crystallize. I saw it, but was too busy wondering why it was in the fridge.

[@perlundgren7797]

@@aaronburdon221 This was asked a lot when it was originally uploaded as well. Apparently, they need to if they don't want to be invaded by insects.

[@matthewdecamp2737]

The big mouse skit gets me every time

[@TheRealMonkeyrogue]

Ben as the sympathetic RPGer was a good pallet cleanser.

[@MasterSage12]

Can we get a shoutout to Ben? Like, SO many of these hinged on his acting abilities! Ben, VLDL Best Actor of 2023!

[@UnkwnSpartan]

We all feel like Fireheart sometimes 🥺🥺

[@emmam.1279]

JUSTICE FOR GRETA😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@jamesvan2201]

4:35 when you look at this from the viewpoint that Adam is lowkey mocking Rowan for his assassin class choice, it makes that skit even fu nicer because as I first watched this one, I looked at it that Adam was legit being encouraging to Rowan. But to see it that he's just low key basjing him, it's like so much more funnier.😂

[@user-zk9qt8in7q]

I love how on death knight's quest it says drink their blood is optional

[@matthewschafer6359]

"I'm ever so swift and nifty!" is my new catch phrase. I said it to my 82 year old neighbor this morning when she asked me if I was okay and afterwards she made a face and told me she didn't want me to pet her cat anymore (not a euphemism). Also, those two females never did explain what they were doing out of the kitchen. Kicking ass I suppose would be the obvious answer, but ass kickery does not a pie make.

[@DansBeau]

Great compilation of your 2023 stuff, I love it!

[@ryanwelton7020]

The class regret skit is still one of my faves! It’s just so accurate! 😂😂. Also anyone else think they would make an amazing tv show?

[@lowkeylogan19]

They took his wife... They took his child... AND NOW... GREG... will be reaping much more... THAN GARLIC!

[@isaiahharvey4525]

Should do a dnd series all about Greg finding his wife and kids.

[@GamersHaven]

Rowan finding out he's married will probably be how I'll get married someday, and I won't even realize it.

[@McAwesomeReaper]

God dam, they keep pushing the envelope with Baradun and have managed stunningly good looks.

[@peterhammond1701]

In the 'Greg's Wife' episode one of the updates was to make Baradun even more attractive.

[@xFrostByte77]

KZbin recommended your channel to me (thankfully!) and now I can't stop binging your videos!

[@MisF1998]

Same, it started with shorts then I got so happy to find longer full versions.

[@MangosMelons]

I expect a short film on greg going on a quest to bring back his stolen wife.

[@fate-aki]

I've seen many of these but not all of them. I'm glad I saw this video to catch up. You guys are amazing.

[@MattSeremet]

3:22 "Callay!" always enjoy the word choice, i assume often influenced by being a kiwi

[@SILENTALONS]

I wanna see more Death Knight bits!

[@drakedillon8598]

Still waiting for a Baelins Journey style epic featuring Greg as he is Awakening to the reality of him being an NPC and seeking out his wife. Potentially a portal from Barradoon(sp) sending him into the real world and he finds the developers and using his garlic, a Fashions some potion to convince the developers to change the code bringing his wife and child back to Honeywood.

[@motionadapt1589]

The rowan skit where he finds out he has a wife a kids is too funny cracks me up

[@cpeabody85]

You all are awesome! Love the work you put in, the attention to detail, the quality of the performance, every bit. I always am looking forward to seeing something new from VLDL in my feed.

[@liduna2000]

I can not get over this whole "frenemies" sequence. Man - I'd say its more fun, it has better story, better acting, better choreography, and I'd say even better effects and definitely better "chemistry" of the two protagonist than most of the current Hollywood production. :D Love you guys. You're awesome ;)

[@caladran]

Always a joy to watch these! :) Keep it going!

[@AQuietVoice2022]

I really want Greg the Garlic farmer to team up with Baelin and other NPC's to rescue Greta from the Devs.

Rowan's thrice married and none divorced and somehow I think it's legal.

[@Senior_Roundtree28]

They need to make one about Greg finding his wife back 😢

[@AlexSedjannJoe]

When the muggers finally figure out that Greg ripped them off for one gold piece he's going to be very sorry.
