Sam Impersonates Matt, Travis, Marisha, Laura, Liam, and Taliesin (Critical Role)

[@jacklandismusic]

“I don’t have a good Marisha!” Yes. Because your Matt and Travis were flawless.

[@skyofwar123]

Wait that wasn't Travis speaking?? 😳

[@austinboylan5476]

What about his flawless Taliesin impression :) ?

[@stingerjohnny9951]

@@austinboylan5476 Thankfully if was only an impression and not the real Tal. If he actually spoke in his true tongue…well, let’s not think on things we can’t control 😊

[@shimmyking4]

"HEY! I NEED CONSTANT ATTENTION!" the sign of a good comedian; willing to take shots at himself, as much as at everyone else

[@awesome_guy45]

Shoot he took harder shots at himself than anyone else's. Travis' was next up in the Vicious Mockery line, I think Matt's was the lightest because its hard to mock perfection.

[@HaloMachinimaFilms]

Well, he is an egomaniac.

[@repulser93]

And suddenly him being the voice of Spider-Man in the Amazing tie-in games makes perfect sense.

[@stingerjohnny9951]

If you can’t laugh at yourself, you can’t laugh at anyone.

It's true, whenever I look up stand up comics, the good ones can joke about themselves and typically the ones that can't aren't very funny.

Aell some his professional voices sound close to Yuri Lowenthal so your boy knows how to do a brooding voice

At the end of these Sam shenanigans Matt always has a stare that tells me one day, one day, he'll snap. He'll either kill him or cry or laugh until he goes blue in the face-- I do not know which emotion is overpowering him, but something is being kept in check there with all his might.

It made a difference after being sent over to ER by ambulance for respiratory distress and they thought the stomach pain was from nausea headaches making sick. When it was two different issues. However greatful to watch this and have a nurse that looked like and sounds like Sam especially when groggy from meds they give you it does wonders the humor when at ER.
