Pretty the Ogre | The Cutest NPC | Critical Role C3E9 Highlights

[@Thisweekdayroom]

Pretty’s recipe starts off like a lot of my family’s recipes. He must be a Southern ogre.

[@sorennowack6255]

Matt did say his cooking was southern inspired.

[@scottdean185]

yea Granny's recipes usually called for and i quote a heaping of Crisco in them.

[@stingerjohnny9951]

[@cassmaelou]

Marisha's "uhhh...Andy" has the same energy as "Mm..uhh..Tony" (aka Matony) from Campaign 2 and I will accept nothing else. Haha

[@hannahmandryk8645]

She's trying to run though all the de Rolo names to make sure she doesn't use one of them by accident.

[@BBBness]

I was really hoping she was going to say Matony again.

this is hilarious considering i have a friend called Anthony and we call him both Andy and Tony 😂

The way my heart bursts when he gets the tears in his eyes over a compliment and when he says “yeah” about the cinnamon. 🥺🥺🥺❤️❤️❤️

[@thechickenskeptic]

I remember watching this episode live and the entire chat was just filled with people loving Pretty and saying things along the lines of "I will kill for this ogre"

[@SaintBigfoot]

I love the date conversation on so many levels. Dorian’s nervous energy over his brother being read as some fans as jealousy of Laudna going on a date for…some reason? Ashton laying out their many disastrous flirtations across the Spires, Letters surprising the party with his blunt “Are you gonna *fuck* him?!”. Fearne seeming to be down to clown with Pretty. “His heart is very big, swollen, turgid.” The double take from Sam, Robbie and Travis was beautiful. Liam fishing for if Laudna had a crush on Percy and Tal’s wide-eyed expression. “Whitestone Andy.” Truly a wonder of comedy

[@mayaenglish5424]

I only have one correction, that wasn't Letters, that was SAM! lol. (Which as funny as it was it's also super out of character so I kind of wish he wouldn't but hey, whatever.) Sam's gonna Sam.

[@spacecowboyeddie6803]

For some reason “What the FUCK, Grass??” got me 😆

[@argella1300]

I know FCG doesn't have legs, but it would've been absolutely perfect if he did the Fiddler on the Roof bottle dance

[@dovearchambault9229]

Pretty must be protected at all costs! The date must be honored and they must have the best time possible.

[@dovearchambault9229]

Pretty is sweet boi

[@missdragondreamer4862]

I can say the date was made >.

[@Ms.Mayhem99]

I don't know about you, but I think we've found our new kiri

[@princessblazena]

Fortunately he probably has way more hit points 😂

[@crookedclown9499]

I love Pretty the Ogre chef. And now Laudna and Ferne understand why Half Ogres exist

[@stingerjohnny9951]

Fearne was totally ready to bone down, but to be fair she is a Fae.

[@wuzzy41123]

The entire tavern scene in this episode is easily one of my favourite scenes across all of Critical Role. Had tension, great NPC's, lore drops, small character moments, and hilarity, while also moving the plot forward. Peak D&D right there!

[@marcuskennedy2262]

If they break his heart, we will riot in the comments

[@jesterssketchbook]

The way he aggressively growl-cries is adorable.... Also, Nico; your EDITS, man! They need to edit the actual SHOW like that, close-ups and all. The focusing on whichever players are reacting the most - like you do here - adds SO much to the energy.

[@urquimedes4459]

I like them both to be honest. I love watching everybody's reactions and not just the ones with the most energy. And then, I love Nico's edits as a highlight reel.

[@kawaii33366]

Well thatd be kinda hard to do seeing as how its live... They can't alwaya tell whose gonna talk to who each time. Or whose going to react the most. And doing that for 3 hours post production a week is sorta unreasonable.

[@Crispy_Bee]

Matt is such a genius and probably the best DM of all times. The way he performs, the characters and storylines - just perfect. Even if you're not a hardcore DnD/Roleplay fan it's extremely entertaining and you can just see the hard work and talent.

[@thechickenskeptic]

I love him so much, Pretty is wonderful

[@here.lies.the.dreamer951]

I have not laughed and UWU’ed at an NPC so hard in such a long time. We stan Pretty. They deserve nothing but the best. 💜

[@Mikadewontdream]

im screaming in joy at my friend for linking this. i just want Pretty to be okay and they better honour this date

[@Rin_Morow]

the last time I was all mushy and dying from cuteness over a character was Liam's character, Buddy the Ogre, from the Darrington Brigade oneshot. Buddy was so cute and adorable i just couldn't stand it in all the best ways

[@LydiaTereK]

PROTECT PRETTY AT ALL COSTS

[@davidparkes7741]

All I can say is, if episode 10 is not solely based around the date with Pretty, then there's no point continuing the campaign. Seriously though, I love that Ogre chef already.

[@octolingo1892]

The cuts to Travis and Robbie make this so good

[@BSE1320]

"...With you?" "anybodyatthistable" Laura "Bail"ey xD

[@MagileineTopDeckToFullField]

This entire time I was waiting for Sam to pull some alteration of the "How do you do, fellow kids?" line.

[@collfreeman6883]

Lol at the beautiful music when Pretty starts crying. The same theme that magnified all those C2 clips. Well done Nico.

[@therainbewavy]

If they don't honor the date commitment I'll be so disappointed in them 😂 "anyone at this table" KILLS me LMFAOOOO

[@toddalexander5015]

The have theatre passes!

[@PrehistoricLizard]

Is Pretty Buddy's child?! 😂

[@kristenconner5705]

That was my IMMEDIATE thought!!!

[@AmnesiaDream75]

Seems like Liam and Travis were wondering that too, they looked like they were gonna pass out

[@NicoNeilson]

I HOPE SO

[@Mattdovah]

"Hey Buddy, congratulations for your newborn son! What's his name?" "HE'S PREEETTYYYY!" Yep, this makes sense, it's canon now.

[@stingerjohnny9951]

@@Mattdovah I love the idea of Ogres naming their children after the first word they can think of to describe them. This means Pretty had loving parents.

Henry Crabgrass might win for best of campaign 2 but Victor the black powder merchant wins for best overall.

Imogen asking Pretty on a date is the most unexpected shit I’ve ever seen in Campaign 3 🤣🤣🤣 Also FCG being completely confused about why the three girls are going on a date

[@kirtisdrawing3034]

It's a moment where Matt basically disappears, and all we can see is the Ncp he is acting in, and with the cast interacting with, is always fun to watch

[@ladylightning1741]

Pretty and Buddy need to meet. Buddy: You're pretty! Pretty: Yeah.

[@VictorScrooge]

Why didn't anyone Make bets If the bottle will fall or Not? XD Also, I would love to see this animated. I love pretty. I laughed so hard and I hope this could be a recurring NPC.

[@Blue_Lunacy]

I wonder what Taliesin actually meant for FCG to do with the bottle trick. Was it with FCG drinking it and be a thermos?

[@LukeLosiPfleger]

My guess was the thermos thing, yeah, like saying “turn yourself into a bottle.” The trick Sam went with was probably more impressive, though!

[@draycaisings162]

They all have very different ideas of what a date is 😂😂😂

Imagine if that young boy was actually Cassandra. Cassandra, Andy, honestly could be.

[@stingerjohnny9951]

Given how young Cassandra was when the De Rolos were slaughtered, I highly doubt it. Fun idea…but no, I don’t think so.

[@themz-fitg-mrs5621]

If this date had gone as Sam suggested/asked. . . I would get so much second hand trauma from Matt 😂 🤣 This is not how I expected my night to go but here we all are; watching an sweet ogre named Pretty get awkwardly flirted with by three beautiful woman who don't know what they're doing. Goals I guess, since I'm basically Pretty in real life. 🤣

[@themoistprophet2782]

It was Liam trying to fish for a reference to Percy, but Marisha shut it down by naming a random, generic person instead.
