Sam's Hit Point Press Ad | I wrote a Broadway musical! | Critical Role | Campaign 3, Episode 1

[@toastyr8670]

Best part of this is definitely when he covers his mouth with the letter so he can dub the sponsor's name later in post

[@FrostyTheSnowPickle]

You can see him saying “hit point” before he does so. I don’t think it’s dubbed in post.

[@bigbundle3223]

@@FrostyTheSnowPickle he's looking away when he says it tho... this whole thing was redubbed in post

[@audoldends6799]

It’s deeply upsetting when I’m reminded how smart Sam is

[@FrostyTheSnowPickle]

@@bigbundle3223 If you slow it down, you can see his lips form the words "hit point," so I believe you're mistaken.

[@JohnSmith-rr3jt]

@@FrostyTheSnowPickle No you can't rofl, he is literally just opening and closing his mouth. When you slow it down you can clearly see he isn't saying any real words. Also its blatantly obvious from the audio that the whole thing is redubbed in post

There are people who sits through ads to watch the show, and then there's us, who voluntarily searched for this video

[@ducksplain]

Well, the sponsors can't say they're not getting their money's worth. You get your shit advertised AND your ad is immortalized in a trademark Sam Riegel Joke. That's what I call value!

[@ForeverDegenerate]

AND a Neal Acree Original Composition written specifically for your ad.

I like to imagine in the full musical these are two random characters who we never see again.

[@groofay]

I know I shouldn't be surprised, but DAMN, Mary has some pipes. And what a way to kick off the campaign!

[@sammy431]

I've had this song stuck in my head since Thursday, its so catchy. And we got Mary singing too!

[@TheAwesomeNekoNeko]

Before I begin, I would just like to say thank you once again, for your continued work of spreading the word of Sam. And it will be an honor to go on this ride with you again for this campaign.

[@Shortlan]

Thank you very much!!

[@iannichols385]

Watching this in theaters with a bunch of other people for the first time was the best experience of my life

[@repulser93]

How/When did you see this in theaters?

[@iannichols385]

@@repulser93 whenever it premiered a bunch of Cinemark theaters were showing it. Me and my buddies went down to LA to watch it

[@jst1215]

Wait a minute...at 3:45 that's cat-sam from episode 5's ad. he foreshadowed it!

[@mrmoolahoola]

And he foreshadowed the nord VPN ad

[@hannahedwards8809]

If you look at all of the 8 around him at that point, they're all his other ads (past and present) singing along. We've seen from recent episodes that he keeps his previous and future costumes handy, so....!

[@Gryphon2026]

I'm so happy someone else caught it as well! 😅😂

No Matt I wrote a broadway musical! Honestly, the picture of Liam on the table is what really made me start descending into madness, I couldn't breathe for a good three minutes after he'd already stopped. I had to stop watching for a few minutes to calm down. He really outdid himself with this one as he should on the first episode.

[@youshallnotpass567]

The picture of Liam on the desk is perfect

[@ironrose6]

0:54 Should've known my man Sam would never let me down.

[@zamu2]

Sam is a gift that keeps on giving.

[@ForeverDegenerate]

I still can't believe that in the middle of shooting The Legend of Vox Machina, Sam went up to Neal Acree and was like, "So Neal... could I convince you to write a song for something not Vox Machina related?"

[@LordFrito]

This was an actually amazing song

[@tito_music]

Lyrics: Honey it’s three in the morning do you still have writersblock? Yes dammit! Unless I finish this commerical i’m never gonna make it And you’ll never respect me Oh can’t you just get a job at the factory like the other husbands? What more do you need!? You know what I need! I need the greatest gift of all! I need someone like them! When i’m feeling down in the dumps life is dishing out it’s lumps Our stomachs only full of butterfly’s No food no hope no motivation A big heart! But no creation my mind is crying dying to advertise Won’t someone sponsor me? Take out that checkbook and just sponsor me I swear that there’s a ton of products I can sell so come on what the hell!? Just take my hand and hear my honest plea and please sponsor me Huh!? What’s this? A telegram? It’s from hitpoint press they wanna buy commercial time on the first episode or campaign three Honey! You mean? That’s right! We made it baby! We’re gonna be okay! Grab a hold and don’t let go cus there’s a sign! And it’s shown! That baby we don’t need to get divorced! No we don’t The ad exects open their doors, a love way more important that yours Your multinational company endorsed! They choose to sponsor me (sponsor him) Spent their commercial budget properly (this great song) I’ve finally broken through and earned some validation (earned some validation) From this fine corporation (this fine corporation) And they called me up and choose to honor me! Change the key! Honor me! Change the key! Now someone sponsors me! They took their checkbook and they sponsor me You’ll see that there’s a lot of sponsors I can land (sponsors you can lend!) So come one take my hand Cus ? paves the road to prosperity Now sponsor me!

[@coralplaysgames5883]

I love the stock images in the background that just stop being relevant to the song halfway through

[@Dragon_Lair]

I love Sam's ads. I'd sponsor them if I had the money to do so, if only because I would have absolutely no idea what kind of ad I'd be shown off with.

[@audoldends6799]

God i forget that Sam is like a Broadway level singer then he fucking *sings* then I’m like 👀

[@ForeverDegenerate]

Just keep telling yourself this man was in Les Mis and you'll be fine. 😁

i love the subtle nod to les mis with the piano scale at 3:37

Did Sam literally re-do all his old costumes and record them to sing along?

I just rewatched this and noticed the cat. Was this foreshadowing?

[@ccwash]

What is the song this is a parody of, or is it original. It sounds familiar but at this point I’ve listened to it like 12 times.

[@coletrainhetrick]

Every song for the most part borrows basically from each other pacings, beats, and tones. It isnt really based on anything but it's so simplistic you could pretty much find anything.

[@Luci0Luci0]

I could swear there are some parts very similar to The Miserables....

[@8fer27]

i was actually very impressed, i know some people find it cringy, but i just find it fun =p
