Limited Color Palette with Sam Riegel | MINI PRIMETIME

[@DaveTpletsch]

I can't believe Will out-Rigeled Sam... I am... Mesmerized.

[@daaabob9644]

I know so good

[@mikele523]

The call it Friedling the Riegel! I love how spooked Sam looks at Will. XD

[@danno1111]

First two minutes and that is exactly what I thought to myself.... Sam just got a big taste of his own medicine.

[@HTMR-de8gz]

To be on the receiving end of the madness is quite different experience.

[@jayb555-r9k]

Was just about to post exactly this!

[@sammy431]

I love that they didn’t tell the guests anything. Sam’s confusion made this already great series into something hysterical.

[@AgentKuro]

That explains why Sam looks so confused. I thought he was playing along XD

[@suprchrgd]

Kind of had a Between Two Ferns feel to it

[@RaiOshynnCat]

It's so interesting to see Sam in a spot that he isn't in total control. Completely out of his comfort zone.

[@NinjaBusCow]

@@RaiOshynnCat I totally agree.

[@Thor8151990]

He obviously knew something.

[@graemeblakely1372]

Seeing Sam get hit in the face with his own style is hilarious, he's like "what...what is happening. What is this."

"So... That what it feels like." 😏

[@ConversationBomb]

I would love for Will Friedle to play a chaotic bard for Campaign 2 of Critical Role.

[@cathleencarlson8769]

It's like sam entered a bard-off without realizing that's what it would be haha

Will's unfettered chaotic energy in this compared to how he played Kashaw is truly terrifying in the best way.

[@Littlecrowfriend]

Samuel Pimienta holy shit I didn’t even realize he played the Kashaw. Like his chaotic energy threw me off

[@Will_Grey]

Between Eric Matthews and Ron Stoppable, Kash threw me off.

[@mr.bluesky4130]

He’s truly mastered the art of almost making people upset but keeping it perfectly tuned.

[@krisbarski4226]

I hope they ask everyone what it's like being married to Laura Bailey, including a certain brunette voice actress.

[@nickgutierrez83]

I didn't know that Dani did voice work, but I too would love to see her answer that question.

[@chastermief839]

Travis needs to be the season finale if that's the case. And instead, Will asks him what it's like to be married to Brian W Foster.

[@YepItsZak]

Ashly Burch would answer

[@wizardlizard4496]

I love this.

[@jacenchrisbaker]

@@chastermief839 That's the real question for Travis. "What's it like being married to the living cabbage that is Brian Wayne Foster?"

I like the chaotic feel to the editing on this one, cutting to Sam's confused face, the shaky camera

[@UseBefore2007]

CR’s various side shows keep making me appreciate the technical crew more and more in ways I have never known.

[@sarahbristolasagra2901]

Watch the eric andre show

[@FreelanceCarmine]

Not even a minute and a half and Sam got out Samed... I think I'm gonna like this show.

[@Kento300]

Well Plays With Squirrels is the best person to out Sam, Sam

[@rachi5359]

The fact that Sam lets his daughter paint his nails, and then continues to wear them until they start chipping is so sweet!

[@Davemate]

Sam looks afraid because he just can't predict what Will is going to do next.

[@kpopf4nmom]

Yes!! Now Sam knows how the rest of the planet feels when we see him break into one of his D and D Beyond commercials!!

do or even say next!

[@themawofacamar]

Here I was thinking Talks was peak chaos for this channel, but you’ve somehow outdone yourselves. Bravo!

[@krucewayne4349]

Seems like just yesterday I was hearing the story about Will’s marker colored mini. Now look at him go.

[@caligo7918]

Well, if they had not taught him on camera for years, he might still go with markers ;)

[@nerolisk7630]

truly the "eric andre show" of the DnD community

[@daniellegilmore541]

nerolisk I THOUGHT THE SAME THING!!!!

[@chastermief839]

I could feel it going in that direction but I'm glad they pulled back and didn't completely go off the wall with it. I don't need a ttrpg rip off of Eric Andre, but humor in the same format is a amusing combination. i think the transition into the actual painting lesson was a little jarring, but once Will warmed up and started incorporating the wackyness into the conversation it got a lot better.

[@beccalanning6370]

I got the same vibes! A big part is the guest, Sam is perfect for this

[@DrossPedantic]

One could call it "The Eric 𝙈𝙖𝙩𝙩𝙝𝙚𝙬𝙨 Show."

This is old af but HY SHIT UR HERE

[@ezmoore27]

SAM: "Oh, the wash- is that what this is?" WILL: "No, that's water." For some reason- probably Will's delivery- that killed me.

[@Doctorwithnoname222]

Sam is thrown by the "Sam" infront of him. XD

[@Gauldame]

For critters wanting to learn how to mini: Technique: layered drybrushing, followed by a wash. 3:43 beginning of drybrushing explanation. 9:29 beginning of wash explanation. BLUF: Beginner level skill to bring up depth in a mini. Also very useful for minis with chain armor. Skipped steps: The minis had to be washed(with soap and water) to remove mold release. Flash and mold lines need to be inspected and sanded off. Then the minis were primed (painted with a layer of special paint called primer) so the acrylic paint will stick without having to be too thick. Then the guy did some quick spot work as described by the host. Materials: The acrylic paint looks to be army painter, a pretty decent brand. You can get a starter set from them, or reaper for reasonable amounts. The washes were citadel. They aren't cheap, but you get what you pay for. The mini is obviously Nott from the M9 mini line. The palette is just a standard oil palette. For drybrushing it is ideal for acrylic. Reason, the paint needs to be thick, and barely on the brush. Thinning the paint via a wet palette would not work well. Further "readings": For further information, I recommend either painters guild (g&s with Will) or goobertown hobbies. Painters guild goes step by step, and goobertown has a video for "all the things I wished someone told me about mini painting when I started". So get yourself a starter set, some decent brushes, hit up reaper bones black for cheap minis and start at it.

[@chocolate101203]

Thank you so much for this!

[@Kaptonii]

Gauldame and don’t forget to THIN YOUR PAINTS

[@bitgod]

Thanks. The only problem with this format is not knowing if the painting part is a joke too.

[@CMLT.]

Thank you :D I thought Will was making a joke when he said to remove most of the paint on the towel

[@Gauldame]

@@Kaptonii not when dry brushing. Thinning paint, via either flow aid, medium or a wet palette will hamper your dry brush. Wet dry brushing is either overbrushing (if on purpose for an effect) or bad technique (if on accident) and will look like bad brush handling. Also a thinned dry brushing can pull up undercoats, with the flow aid re activating the lower paint. *edited because autocorrect doesn't grammer.

[@johnhmaloney]

That was amazing and I'm so glad that I watched the latest CR first. Marisha said that they just threw Sam out there without telling him anything and knowing that his reactions were genuine made it so much better.

[@saikanji9570]

"These are all blank." That's it. Favorite show. You've won me over. ... Who am I kidding? I was already in love as soon as Will Friedle showed up ❤

[@MythrilShotgun]

It's not the zany-ness that impresses me. It's the consistency to the bit.

[@4thwallbreaking870]

Haven't seen Sam this dazzled since his last one shot

[@Seriph7]

Why can this gentleman bounce seamlessly between being genuine and typical wise cracking talk show host? Like it's just painting but he does a good job teaching haha

[@ogzombiebreakfast]

Coming back to rewatch this video, I now realize what the show is really about: a man on the knife's edge of sanity who can only be soothed by the power of mini painting.

[@netherveilgames996]

Wow, Will's delivery is incredible lol It was so refreshing to see Sam's confusion the whole way through. The ending with the comic sans credits, Will's quick exit, and Sam's reaction to his note cards was "chef's kiss" laugh out loud humor.

[@Sparrowly1]

12:57 Sam's instant switch from impressed to confused made my day

[@maxullrich4123]

It's cool that Will went from hosting a show where he learns how to paint minis to hosting a show where he teaches how to paint minis.

[@AugmentedSmurf]

I honestly super love that I remember watching Will Friedle go from knowing absolutely nothing about painting minis on the G&S channel a few years back, and now here he is showing people how to paint minis like he knows everything about it. It's a wonderful turnabout, I say.

[@Wilkanas]

I can't stop commenting even though its 2 years old, i stumbled onto crit role half a year ago and am episdoe 80 of campaign 2 and its glorious, i'm sure no one looks at these comments that are 2 years old but going from my somewhat active life to obsessing over crit role podcasts has been epic, my wife worried about my new obsession till i got her hooked and now we play dandd of all things! most friends think we're jokingor making fun of it , but we're actually not!! and some of those friends now play with us and since i bought the books and got the gist of dming down, I'm just following campaign 2 with big changes based on the particular backstories my wife and friends have come up for their characters. d again, im sure no one will see this on a 2 year old video , but i wanted to put it out there in the universe, thanks crit role and thanks for this show , god it was hilarious will friedle is my new hero
