From Episode 110 of Critical Role made by Geek and Sundry and Matt Mercer. See how immersed Travis is in his character, How well he role-plays being dumb. I am sorry Travis, this was just too funny to miss.

Travis- reverse math Sam- vicious mockery Liam- disappears Man they really stay in character.

[@benjamingreenham7298]

An actual vicious mockery ...

[@aydenevans2687]

More like Tasha’s hideous laughter

[@Noah_Giddens]

"Don't worry guys I have an intelligence of 6."

[@symphony_in_plaid4592]

"I have an intelligence of 6, I know what I'm doing."

[@project-pe6ly]

reverse math and anti multiplication are too hard

[@thefracturedbutwhole5475]

"Anti multiplication" . . . So just a number

[@SirJonathonDanielGregorySrVthe]

Finding the dis-integral.

[@davidm1926]

anti-multiply and anti-surrender

[@voidjockey82]

I mean technically it's just addition will negative numbers and multiplications with one of the factors having a negative exponent. Huh, negative makes math less enjoyable. I see some irony in there.

[@zantes4061]

And that's why we don't have THAC0 anymore

[@tylerhilpisch7850]

Does he get experience for staying in character

[@BTPoke]

nah, he'd get inspiration

[@timandshannon03]

I'd give him an inspiration!

[@thefracturedbutwhole5475]

He once took psychic damage for saying something too intelligent

[@gwynlefleur]

@@thefracturedbutwhole5475 wait really? When? What did he say?

[@Shadowrend888]

Melvin Melnin they were in the 9 hells and he came up with a nickname for Tarryon that was actually quite clever. He took psychic damage for thinking too hard

[@johncordero1248]

We all go full Grog sometimes Travis. It happens all the time, it just so happens this was live lol.

[@MatthiasCorvinu]

Never go full Grog

[@C_Bat]

you just go Gr or og, never Grog.

[@bandi138138]

Omg, I just realized how in sync Liam and Laura laugh. They turn to Sam, look at Matt’s reaction, and then lean back, all in perfect timing

[@tweakicizer]

They're twins :)

[@sirdroolsalot12]

Those two are sibling goals.

[@wkfjskfj]

Has anyone made a compilation of every time Liam has dissappeared from the screen from laughing?

[@Muricata]

I had to rewatch the video because I was watching the others reaction and he just vanished and I was like "wait, where did he go??"

[@artiegatsby4879]

@@artiegatsby4879 Can your chair do THIS?

[@Kadel___]

Marisha does that too sometimes. But I guess it also plays into how stealthy Beau is in M9.

[@worldeater2414]

Sam's little "heh" before he says "you mean subtraction" is living rent free in my head

[@Marianis2305]

I love how hard you can see Matt trying to hold it in.

[@MrCompassionate01]

Knowing a DM's mind he was probably using the moment to think really hard about what happens next and how to describe it when at 1:18 his brain catches up with what he just heard.

[@kkTeaz]

@@MrCompassionate01 as a DM, *yes*

[@alexisg7877]

Sam always scares me when he spaces out because he just has this face of "I'm going to murder you all" and it's so creepy

[@sirdroolsalot12]

Resting mean mug has gotten me so many questions asking why I'm so pissed, when I'm really thinking about how good that leftover Chinese food is going to taste when I get home.

[@stevend3326]

I was thinking that the whole first half of this. Was Sam just tired cause I know they play late, but until that joke his resting face was definitely murder mode.

[@Ζήνων-ζ1ι]

He was definitely drunk this episode, even said so earlier I think.

[@GodBear97]

He's normally so animated, that the lack of an expression looks more disturbing than it should

[@starwarsnerd100]

It's not that b- *scrolls up to video* JESUS CHRIST!

[@jedidagger]

I love these times where Sam just breaks everyone.

[@Blasted2Oblivion]

I love watching Sam break them as well. However, my favorite is when Sam breaks in the Grog's One-Shot video. Sam was broken for a solid minute and you can see he is trying so hard.

[@jedidagger]

@@Blasted2Oblivion One of the best Sam and Travis moments ever. The whole table is fun to watch with their different reactions.

[@Becky31389]

@@Blasted2Oblivion did you kill my bear? 😂

[@KingKevin108]

Watching Matt slowly break is the best thing. He held it together for the first few seconds but as soon as the group processed what Sam said and started laughing he broke as well

[@oxidosis]

I love sam reigel. Just watch him, from the point matt said "a natural what?" he was watching the situation and knowing travis' brain had farted.

[@samoclese6435]

You know it's funny when Liam disappears to the giggle realm under the table

[@PoisonToad88]

I love how Sam responds to this with a laugh first. He's the funniest thing about this short xD

[@captaintexican5993]

I like how he went from creepy silent to make a murderer staring into the abyss, then a smile, a chuckle and a joke. Lol.

[@tannertadlock7741]

His laugh is like "I'm gonna do what they call a pro gamer move"

[@Jenacide]

He's always quick as a whip. I wish my brain ran that fast.

[@mertoriel3829]

I love the slight Chuckle from Sam before he casts vicious mockery :P

[@ThatKarin]

I loveeeee how the others didn't even notice until Sam pointed it out. Ah yes, we are getting old.

[@augustinebels]

@Jyygylag Travis noticed right afterwards and he gave himself a "are you kidding me?" Kind of look and then it progressed when Sam pointed it out, and Taliesan also gave a little chuckle that progressed into a laugh when Same pointed it out and it's all great lol

[@lajask]

I think Laura did. The look she gave him right after. 🤣

[@dhampson545]

The funnies part is the look Laura gives her husband before Sam's comment.

[@Hellscrap3r]

It looks like she goes to say it too and breaks because they were both thinking the same thing.

[@Tharppedo]

Matt's attempt at being stoic is my favorite part of this clip.

[@chickenkicker6564]

Sam's villainous expression at 1:05 He was just waiting for the jab.

[@vishaansingh1019]

He was super sleep deprived lol, they all were

[@estoy1001]

My favorite Travis/Grog moment so far. It's clear he's been Grog for WAY too long.

[@connie1617]

As Grog once said "Im not too hot on the numbers."

[@Dylan-ds9fp]

I love that moment of realization on Travis' face the moment before Sam calls him out

[@OffbeatWorlds]

Aside from the hilarity of Travis forgetting how to subtract numbers, I love Laura's jagged headbutt impressions 😂

[@TPBurrow]

Yes I love those bits too

[@jenth]

Cutting Words in real life.

[@azurebalmung4520]

The side effects of playing a 6 Intelligence character very well and very often xD Sam pointing it out semi-helpfully while also laughing, in that manner of "Not to bust your chops for it, but there's already a name for that, Travis" :P

[@andrewrowland3920]

I need to play this video whenever it's too warm in my room. The pure concentrated shade dropped the temp like 20 degrees.

[@geminimaxxim]

The best part of the jokes on this show are when Liam fucking vanishes beneath the table. That's when you know it's good

[@Equirah]

The best thing about this is you can see Laura mumbling to herself and giving Travis a "oh no baby, what is you doing?" look but sparing him and then Sam just goes for the throat.

[@dogmouthhorse]

i love watching this repeatedly and just focusimg on one persons reaction. mostly liam leaning backwards and completely fucking disappearing

[@mattjust4450]

This is our CEO ladies and gentlemen....

[@orion-162]

Travis, your Grog is showing

[@justanothernerdydude4391]

I wish Orion was still on the show.

[@JustinSIsTank]

Matthew tried to be a good, non-judgmental DM and not laugh, and was successful for about 3 seconds. Kudos, sir.

[@Muricata]

The scoff from Sam @1:13 just makes everything better

[@Taikofan04]

Every time my 7th grade teacher says subtraction ima just gonna say to myself reverse math

[@emilyhurd1087]

i heard about this but always thought it was grog saying it its so much better knowing it was travis

[@logf1062]

Grog - Shit I can't do reverse math Scanland - You mean subtraction

[@1234kalmar]

I connect to this so deeply.

[@bluephoenix9960]

Just when Travis says “oh no” repeatedly when he realised he may be more like Grog than he initially thought, honestly makes this video.

[@artiegatsby4879]

Liam just leaning back and disappearing from frame is my favorite thing

[@4D4plus4is4D8]

Great choice of where to fade out at the end :)

[@MrHeart12]

I like how you can see Matt go from being very serious about wanting to continue with the game to remembering its ok to laugh and have fun.

[@TenretniQuin]

I couldn't feel bad, I was at work concentrating on things, and when this moment happened I had to hit the rewind 10sec button to figure out what was wrong. I realized way too late that I forgot what the word "subtract" meant.

[@TaitRo1018]

RIP TRAVIS. we all love you and this is one of the funniest and worst/best brain farts in the history of forever

[@enterchannelname2508]

The entire time it looks like Sam was waiting for that moment

[@sirdroolsalot12]

And like a trapdoor spider he pounced on it.

[@White12Shadow]

Because of this I have changed my whole vocabulary on mathematics Addition - Math Subtraction - Reverse Math Multiplication - Double Math Division - Half Math

[@antonionunez3759]

I really felt bad for Travis at this moment. This will go down forever on the internet. I'm just glad for him that he took it with stride and not be upset about it.

[@cjvs1604]

Antonio Nuñez I think its just another moment on the pile at this point.

[@tommytoranger8318]

He went full Grog, that's a good enough excuse as any.

[@Askharr]

Antonio Nuñez why feel bad? It wasn't like he accidentally killed an old lady or a cute little animal. He just had a momentary brain fart. We all have those at times. He was able to laugh about it as were the others and they moved on.

[@antonionunez3759]

+Heather Peterson Your right and like you said Travis didn't took it to heart about it. It's just it so happen that it happen to him and he knows that it will stay on the internet forever. However it will eventually be blown over and people will eventually forget about it. So in saying that I was feeling more sorry for him in that moment and I'll grow out of it.

[@EnDSchultz1]

Travis doesn't take any of this too seriously. Whenever something ridiculous happens, or shit starts going down, he's always the first to laugh. Most importantly, he's always perfectly happy to laugh at himself.

[@franzfanz]

I like how Matt is desperately trying to not laugh at his friend and then just can't hold it in anymore.

[@FlameExecutioner]

They were all so loopy and funny this episode. Like they all seemed just a tiny bit buzzed/high/tired.

[@joesamsally]

This is there game after Burning Man, so yes.

[@joesamsally]

Then it was a Con, something they did over the previous weekend, they mention it at the start of the episode

[@lizs2546]

Travis has played Grog so long, he actually became Grog for a moment.

[@Sh3neya]

It's even funnier, because Sam lets out his little heh, Travis is already realizing his mistake, then Sam makes the jab and you can see everyone else get it a slightly different times.

[@tackyoptic]

Grog has moments where Travis slips through, but this was one of those moments where Grog took over xD

[@danielstephens1185]

1:14 Dammit, Sam, you broke the group again! 1:34 And again, Liam is laughing so hard he sinks backward out of sight.

[1:10] *_"Oh no (oh no)...Oh no...Oh no, that hurt, that hurt my brain."_** --* Moments like these are the best moments among the Critical Role cast and crew. *;D* *[EDIT UPDATE (12/08/2023)]:* This popped (back) up on my Recommendations after watching videos of the CR Cast Panel at the [2023 MCM Comic Con in London]. Even 6+ years later after *[CR 1x110 - "The Climb Within"]* (air-date: 08/24/2017), this scene still holds up as hilariously funny, and Sam Riegel (Scanlan Shorthalt) stated this scene (at the CR Cast Panel) was one of his most memorable CR-moments. *:D* Thanks for uploading this, *TP Burrow.* :)

[@NeokoNewman4ever]

The best part of this is how based on their faces right before Sam spoke, if he hadn’t said it Laura, Taliesin, or Marisha would have done so. Heck, Travis look just about ready to put himself on blast a millisecond before Sam did, XD
