[@nataliemccrea8730]

I feel like Matt was like “yeah I guess I’ll dance to lady Gaga” but deep down he’s like “I’m about to own these bitches”

[@Elariesel]

Nope. Dude was hyped bout dancing to Gaga from the start. He wanted to join if someone picked this song, then he wanted to pick it himself but got talked into smth different and lastly he doubled down on Gaga despite being told this song's hard. Man of commitment and sheer fking will!

[@overoverthinker]

Don't you know that DM stands for Dance Master?

[@SeriatimHD]

In my ranks I am referred to as Disco Master after accidently put on groovy tunes to a battle encounter..

[@novikovPrinciple]

This is what happens when the DM rolls a Natural 20 on a Performance check.

It was then that Marisha realized just how much of a gem this man was.

[@Lionhartless]

What's amazing is that Matt is phenomenal at this. Absolutely amazing Matt, he's got the moves to back up the game he always brings to critical role.

Hearing matt Mercer has had such problems with his self image and is constantly horribly self conscious, but seeing him doing this made me feel so much better about myself. Bravo Mercer. Bravo

[@SilverHawk214]

I am right there with you. Mercer is an inspiration!!!

[@Lucifronz]

Some of the most incredible people are self-conscious. Of course you just said Matt is, so I guess I'm being redundant.

[@Cary0G]

I love how from the beginning Mercer was hyped for Gaga. Even before this clip, when he was picking a song earlier he wanted to do this song. And then at the beginning of this he's like 'Hey if you're gonna do that song I'm joining you.' and his little dance before the real dance started. Plus him mouthing all the lyrics. Man I love him.

[@geekasaurusrexy]

Yeah, totally. I mean, he totally slayed it, but there's something kinda sexy about those subtle little moves he did on his own. Damn, Marisha's a lucky woman.

[@cameronjr8]

Tiana Del Rosario Hanji: Captain, are you dancing? Eren: I never seen Levi danced like that.

[@Emil-Roma]

Gotta commend the incredible pelvic thrusting game from the "backup dancers".

[@Randy1012]

I think the best part is the game wasn't even tracking Matt for that whole dance. It was tracking Zac, Lucas, and for some reason Travis.

I've heard of the show, but the episodes are so long, so I would only watch the announcements and where they left off last time, and that's it, the only side characters I know are Lyra, Tiberius, Zahra, Kashaw, the Briarwoods, and I know that Scanlan left the team to be with his daughter and got replaced by Tarryon
