Critical Role - Forgotten Gem "We need a nap" S1Ep60 LIVE show

[@bellymouth1828]

"I told you we were holy" was such a powerful, overlooked line by Travis, lmao

[@BBBness]

Guard goes to the pub after his shift. Sits down with the regular crew, chugs his beer and goes: "So, Vox Machina, HEROES OF THE REALM, are staying in town. And you'll never guess what I learned about them..."

[@beemoney19]

But the REAL MVP, is obviously Matt. Totally amused, but still in the moment, realizing that in the game-world, Garmeli is absolutely hearing all of this and his response, without missing a beat, is god damn gold.

[@SingingSealRiana]

by fare the funniest thing in this scene and it is comedy gold allready

[@OriginalCreatorSama]

"THAT'S the lie that got through??" Yes, welcome to D&D, where even the dice gods are fucked in the head!

[@KingJJAce]

I just love the "I'm tense come on let's go."

[@MsCunningLinguistic]

Crystal Rin Cosplay Travis’s embarrassed facepalm and Laura’s gleeful cackle is really just the icing of the cake here.

[@OffbeatWorlds]

I don't know why, the way Matt says "oh" is just so hysterical.

[@shadophaxx2401]

"They arent buying it, lets make rhem super uncomfortable" is a tried and tested strategy in almost every d&d game ive been a part of XD

[@WingedWyrm]

Notice Matt switching from playing straight-man to the joke (the guards being uncomfortable) to comic instigator (garmili) in an instant.

[@TheLionheart227]

And thus, the legend of poly machina was born

[@archliter]

Somewhere, the rumor has it that in Syngorn the guards still believe that Vox Machina had hardcore sex that night

[@defaultthedude]

Guard 1: who’s in there? Guard 2: some posh punch. Guard 1: are they “tired”? Are they taking a “nap”? Guard 2: Tim I swear to Nerull.

[@jumanjicostco3248]

"We are Freekeh" Oh my God I miss Scanlan the most xD

[@magiv4205]

I am always fondly remember this moment whenever my own party insists on sharing a single room. We do it because we're a bunch of paranoid bastards, but there has been many a guard that must have wondered what goes on behind those closed doors lmao. Hell, the characters have seen eachother naked plenty of times in bathhouses and the like (and that time we attended a rather unorthodox orgy to find a missing person and kill a bunch of lifestealing vampires, long story), so they aren't exactly physically awkward around eachother. One recent time, it DID get awkward though when we used two rooms instead. The very ace paladin said he'd share with the elf, thought nothing of it and later walked in on the elf and his npc cleric boyfriend already having fun on the double bed. The paladin didn't want to back out cause the room was already paid for and he didn't want the rest of the party to tease him, so he stayed and it became a hilariously awkward sandwich. We haven't laughed this hard in a long time.

[@thickmclargehuge4448]

please add the bit where they exit the room later on and vax slaps grog on the ass and keyleth exits polymorphed as a goose, much to the horror to the guards

[@evanstewart9127]

Cut to Search for Bob and continue the tradition of Liams character grabbing Travis' character and dragging them to the bedroom.

[@lucasgray1492]

The squirrel thing. And the grabbing Grog by the circlet saying and Vax saying he was tense

[@michaelbootes4822]

It’s a Polyamorous thing

[@Spiralpaladin]

O_O "Oh."

[@jetvulcan2020]

"we're totally Poly...Amorous?" cast Polymorph "that totally what polyamorous means right guys" That cracks me up

[@Animefan1803]

By far the best part of this scene is Keyleigh going: Yeah we´re totally POLY while polymorphing Percy. Makes the entire situation just so much better.

[@C_Bat]

Liam just wants to sleep with Travis, he's been hinting it throughout the season. Then again, Sam and Laura stopped him from going forward.

[@JasperForge]

Liam just embarrasses Travis

[@SingingSealRiana]

gleefuly and targeted, he and Laura really are twins

[@sammiehopkins9408]

I forgot this was the live episode and I was like "why is there sound bites of people laughing??" I understand now

[@gus8824]

Sammie Hopkins You meant live episode, but given this scene, love episode works.

[@sammiehopkins9408]

+Gus yeah, I didn't catch that XP thank you

[@daysofhalcyon]

'critical role' is filmed in front of a live studio audience.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

sentient oven laugh track is horrendous. But whatever...maybe not horrendous, just deepfake audio annoying.

[@xxTifaxForeverxx]

@@genghisgalahad8465 This was literally filmed live. I watched it live and the audience was truly this crazy

[@dude-e]

Looking back, I kinda miss Marisha’s oblivious and awkward Keyleth

[@jrs0268]

I wonder how much the guards made for the book rights, considering the explosion of fame of Vox Machina to come.

[@tomaszskowronski1406]

Guards autobiograpyhy- "The man who stared at squirells"

[@itzzbowserjr]

Would the guards have shared the story of this night? I'm just wondering if all of those who talk to them think that the group is actually a massive poly relationship xD

[@OffbeatWorlds]

Omg I completely forgot about this scene, thank you so much for uploading this! Such comedy gold

[@edwardnotyourconcern6519]

At the end of the campaign, when Vox Machina becomes God slaying legends, those guards are going to have quite the story to tell.

[@matthewletexier]

Vox Machina jokes about being Poly, but Mighty Nien regularly bathed together. Let's just remember that

[@AlasdairGR]

And they were down for an orgy when fighting VM.

[@Yaoijoy21]

This took me ages to find to share, I am so surprised it isnt more known, I love this scene whenever I need to die laughing I just imagine it and nwo I can watch it instead! Thank you for sharing!

[@TPBurrow]

I am sorry it took so long to find, out of curiosity, what keywords did you use to try and find it? I will add them to the links for this so that hopefully other Critters can find it faster:)

That ending made me really want the traveler theory to be true.

[@juanpablomontalvo4715]

The Archivists Well its just been confirmed!

[@Nobody-s6g6r]

I love how Liam starts to furiously scribble, knowing full well he gave a BUNCH of fuel to Rule 34 art

[@tomaszskowronski1406]

Jeeesus, all the way till 2:50 i thought its a sitcom cut with added laughs. Then the camera panned out. Damn. It really feels like a sitcom.

[@Spiralpaladin]

Vox Seinfeldna?

[@Aerostorm56]

I thought it was a laugh track

[@TPBurrow]

Your not the only one who left a message about a laugh track and then deleted it😀

[@Rocksteady72a]

It's amazing how much the crowd has grown since then!

[@swagpotato720]

This is not forgotten by me, in the least. In fact this is still one of my FAVORITE moments.

[@swampwasp3]

I miss this Vax

[@ElionMars]

Spoiler for Campaign 2: . . . . . . So that's why Jester has her sketchbook! It was something Artagan used when acting as Garmeli. Nice bit of foreshadowing there for the eventual reveal.

[@unitjax9507]

not going to lie, i had no idea this was live so I thought you added corny canned laughter

[@thexorode]

2:56 Liam's like "THE FANFIC!!!" 😂

[@human_collector0]

I never forgot about this scene.

[@shannonk4384]

God, knowing everything about Garmeli now really changes your perspective about this mini arc 😂

[@justinjanes6325]

God I can’t wait for this to get animated. This is the prime Vox Machina shenanigans

[@TDrudley]

This group... they are fucking masters of everything.

[@GM_Darius]

Sweet Skipping Sarenrae, I hope this bit makes it into the Vox Machina cartoon!

[@ParadoxEngineer]

Spoilers for C2 But Laura heard the Traveler say: "Is that true?!" and went: "yeah, I can follow that"

[@AlegoCarmadein]

Laura?

[@ParadoxEngineer]

@@AlegoCarmadein I knew it was wrong, I just couldn't firgure how what needed to change

[@danthefool21]

Please do the moment when Grog tried to steal Percy's tongs. Briarwood arc.

[@TPBurrow]

Thats a long scene I will see if I can find a bit worthy of highlighting:)

[@danthefool21]

TP Burrow Cut out the parts in between. Do the attempt to steal then when Grog asks a quick question.

[@TPBurrow]

I can't even find it, was it before they went to Whitestone or after?

G. I second that..

[@Arkatox]

Another very much not forgotten gem. :) Thanks for these great highlights, though!

[@yeet9397]

Innocent and confused Keyleth is best Keyleth

[@Spiralpaladin]

I'd love to see the moment of her misinterpreting polyamorous in the animated series. Squirrel Vax on a confused Grog's head and Squirrel Percy being picked up and huggled by Vex. X3

[@annijaklamer]

I haven't watched campaign one, only in bits like this, but I just realised that the barkeep that points them in the right direction when Jester's gone and blesses them is the same voice as Gormelian. Continuity

[@TPBurrow]

wait..which Barkeep is this in which C2 ep? and timestamp? Sounds like a highlight vid in the making:)

[@deathwrow9652]

Its when M9 go to Shady Run...for Spoilers. . . . . They need to find kidnapped jester. Someone who fits Artaghan's description is suddenly a barkeep and gives them advice the next morning. It wasnt confirmed for a very long time, but it was the Traveler trying to help free Jester.

[@deathwrow9652]

It should be between episode 23 to 29, since that was when rhe previous event happened

[@b2air1921]

I can hear an opening narrator utter "This episode of Critical Role is filmed infront of a live studio audience"

[@chadmcmillan1907]

Now, this is D&D at it's finest.

Poly Machina?

[@scepta101]

And look what Garmeli has become...

Freakin' elven guards!!! They deserved it, being all hoity-toity! 😑

[@PhantomQueen89]

YES! Thank you!!!

[@Blue_Lunacy]

It's too bad that this moment didn't make it in the animation adaptation. Hopefully this scene might still be used in the future episode.

[@oakenshadow6763]

That is the best pairing of a fail and a success ever! >XD 2:14

I, like several others, absolutely cannot wait to see this scene in the animation. XD

[@seraphinaedan1033]

The polymorph thing was honestly really funny from Marisa

[@3animechick]

Do you think the guards told the twins father about this? Or the council? Like ‘you’ll never believe what we learned about Syldor Vessar‘s oldest children!

I've seen this many times but this is the first time I realised Sam facepalmed at Keyleth's misunderstanding of polyamorous.😂

[@ChitenBugMan]

What's the deal with the laughter. (Edit)

[@TPBurrow]

It's a live show, the audience is encouraged to laugh or cry:)

[@ChitenBugMan]

AH. I was almost positive the entirety of Critical Role was done on their streaming channel. The more you know I guess

[@TPBurrow]

@@ChitenBugMan it is...but sometimes a fortunate few hundred Critters are lucky enough to be able to afford and have a fast isp to buy a ticket before they all sell and see them live. I think there have been 6 live shows so far.

He was an npc they had made a deal with in the faewild. So he was waiting for them in their room to get back with the stuff he wanted vox machina to steal

And I didn't see all the clip. I stopped because I thaught there were canned laughs. Thank you guys. xD

[@jumanjicostco3248]

Sydius. There is one particular live episode that had fucking GOLD moments~ I'm not gonna spoil much but it involves Vax and Grog getting together to prank someone.
