Perception Check (Official Music Video) - Tom Cardy

i like how the unchanging character design means he either comes to each session in full cosplay or he just made a perfect version of himself.

[@raspymorten]

I think it's supposed to be him coming to the session dressed up as his character from head to toe. But the "You're supposed to tell me what I see, right?" part shows he either just got too into it, or that he's not actually all that familiar with DND. And I like the idea of a guy who's that enthusiastic and into it that he shows up dressed as his character, but has barely played DND. lol

[@fernandotrevinocastro1018]

[@gokuxsephiroth4505]

I just ADORE how the bard looks the same in and out of the fantasy. That means that either A.) The bard roleplays so hard he shows up in costume even when no one else does or B.) He probably didn't give a backstory or description, so everyone just imagines him to look like himself in the fantasy world. Both these possibilities are superb.

[@elSethro]

I don't think that Tom is roleplaying at all in this campaign. His D&D character is just him, exactly as he is in real life.

[@TheJim9191]

As someone who always plays a bard, yes to both.

[@nathanfealko9193]

not only that, but it looks exactly like Tom Cardy himself

[@watermelongd]

He dresses as a fantasy character in his daily life

[@mattmann1623]

Given that he's not paying attention to his party's rolls, along with the rest of his shenanigans, it seems unlikely that he's that invested in the roleplay. Therefore we can assume that this is just how Tom is

On reflection, this is accurate. I recall one time we got carried away discussing our tactical situation after an end-game revelation (skill check) and the DM interrupted us as the BBG to say, "Uh, you know I'm still here and am listening to everything you say, right?

1:23 I love the phase "It's always a kid" because it implies that it's not the first time he attacked a kid before checking and I like to imagine that they found the kid multiple times but he always killed it and the DM had to find a excuse for them to find another child and repeat the cycle

[@MrLyramion]

[@unknowndragon3736]

[@justinanderson2460]

I'm actually playing a Bard in my current campaign and I straight up clipped the Vicious Mockery song to keep in my back pocket (just in case) the moment I heard it - and managed to stop laughing. Turns out, one of our villains was a an evil gnome "mad scientist/genius" type of guy who always floated around on a device of his own design so he could be taller than everyone - minions and enemies alike. My DM likes to tack on random meme traits to most of his characters like that. Anyway, in our final encounter with him, the dice gods smiled on upon me as if I were their chosen champion because I managed to crit my Vicious Mockery I'd been saving for him all fight. With the sheer glee of a child who's just received the Christmas present they've been asking for all year, I reached into my pocket and pulled out my phone, brought up the clip while my DM was confirming my crit and played it from "Nat 20 LET'S GO!" (which was the start of the clip). Needless to say, any semblance of staying in character was immediately shattered as hard as the gnome's emotional state and it got so bad that we decided to break for lunch because the DM couldn't even manage to get out a line explaining the effect of my performance. Instead, he ended up settling on "he's fucked" before we all bailed to another room to sit down and wait for the pizza (that I ordered) only like 10 minutes before. As you would expect, after the food - which I was already very popular for ordering for everyone as a surprise - we got back to the table and resumed the session but for the rest of the day, my ego was untouchably inflated and for once, not a single person complained and I was treated like a genuine hero for the remainder of the afternoon/night. I couldn't have asked for a better time playing and it never would have happened without this absolute masterpiece so... Thanks Tom. You are an inspiration to us all.

Everytime I watch this I see something new that delights me in the animation. A+++ job my guys.

[@PierceArner]

This is SO FANTASTIC, and it's amazing that this was finished just in time for Christmas!! (Also, I love the Trogdor in the background)

[@renneverbright]

I have no idea why the tongues are green but that honestly just adds to the experience, thank you for making such an awesome memeable song and thank Lanky for following up with just as awesome memeage!

The bards eyes turn orange when he casts vicious mockery and when holding the bag he looted from the kid.

[@SuperZez]

I love the changed context by having the bard smile when guessing it's a child. Like "Ha! I know this one!".

[@mrjc1238]

I love the fact that the person playing the bard is fully in costume at the table and nobody else is

[@shelbybabcock8779]

This bard rolled 3 nat 20s in a row. And his two friends each rolled nat 1s. I suspect some shenanigans!

[@ChillingGamerr]

I made impossible At one game I rolled 4 20s and gm cancelled the game not joke :D We played online so not fake

[@ninjatoriumnova2483]

That extremely threatening "I can perceive you" is so good, it makes me laugh even after hearing the song at least 15 times.

[@ShinyPrimarina]

YEAHHHH This animatic was my fave cause it captured the original song so perfectly!! Glad you got to work with the og artist to get a fully animated music video!

[@JustKleptAHH]

“No escaping it” Nah I heard “So skibidi” The brainrot is slowly corrupting me

[@taimatsuko]

This was my favourite animated version. I’m glad it became official! ❤

[@LilacVeritas]

My favourite detail is the DM putting up 15 fingers to emphasise his point, somehow grows another 5 out of sheer frustration

[@ukon2062]

It's so hilarious how fast he goes from "I'm sorry, I'd be better" to "play my flute as I loot that dead kid's body". Lmao.

[@HeraldSchimdtt]

I am so unbelievably happy that Lanky's original animatic is getting this love, absolutely amazing!

[@RuokieBuns]

HECK YEAH this is truly the animation that caught the vibe of the song PERFECTLY, so glad it's the official video - so well earned and befitting. Amazing job!!!

[@tophat.commenter]

0:37 "So Skibidi" 💀 Wtf dude the brainrot is taking over me😭

[@RaethFennec]

Nice! I love that you picked one of these to be your official music video! I've so much enjoyed watching all the animations that popped up on KZbin. For weeks, I kept thinking there must be some competition or challenge somewhere that instigated all of them, but... no! People just loved this song and so did I! LankyMF definitely knocked it out of the park, and all the extra work put into it is great.

[@paj5529]

He was literally only letting the dm speak so that he could find an attribute to mock, also love how the DM has to check his notes to see if the kids body is still there

[@BenDrownedJadusable]

vicious mockery so strong that the body ceases to exist for a bit

[@Thomas-hh2yu]

The Tight Crews family photo always gets me, great animation for a great song

[@TastesLikeCatFood]

Going to repeat the sentiment that I'm so glad LankyMF got to fully animate the official music video. I've seen quite a few animatics for this song but the original of LankyMF's really had just the right vibe. And honestly the rotating baby animation was hypnotizing even in the original, really flowing in-time with the music perfectly.

[@RebeccaKartzmark]

I'm just loving that Tom is giving us so much liberty with his music! Thank you so much for giving more people these amazing opportunities

[@Hoags42015]

My favourite details have to be the following: The names of the PCs are Orcitha, Richard and then tom's character is probably just named Tom. The DM's screen has images which actually react to what's going on, and when tom casts vicious mockery, the character sheets react as well. Richard apparently is Chaotic and picks his nose. Also his strategy is to "Sneak, Stab, Steal, Scamper" Orcitha has 0 Dex. Her strategy is "Apply Hammer, Repeat." When the kid is being mocked, his room's posters is that of an orc pepe and a "'tis o'eer"one. There is also a piss jug. and the chair the kid's on is making him tall enough to actually use the table.

[@msthecommentator2863]

I remember when this was just an animatic! What a glow up, this was easily my favorite one that cropped up when the original dropped so it's awesome seeing it fully completed like this ❤

[@knockoutnorko7500]

HELL FOCKEN YEAH MATE! That’s the bloody sequel tae the original animation we all wanted without us knowing! 😄

[@FeiYenKnDna]

I've seen this video a fair few times now as is just so solid but I will admit that it took until today for me to notice the Shinji Ikari cameo. Well played.

[@sanderwillems8603]

YES! Fuck yea, this is by far the best fan animation for the song and deserved to be fully fleshed out. Awesome job Lanky!

[@EviVeteran]

Omggg I watched the animatic (over and over) and this is somehow even better colored and fully animated ❤

[@EleonoraGuidi-c3w]

This LOOKS SO DOPE WTF! I love the shots and perspectives! Heck yeah! Thanks for the beautiful content

[@NoisqueVoaProduction]

I've replayed this fan art so many times!!! I'm so glad you posted this in your official channel!!

[@mangagor]

Been looking forward to seeing this since I saw the precursor and your comment on it. An unexpected present but I absolutely adore it. It really captures the vibes of the song in every detail.
