Sam's Printed Shirts: A History 2 | Critical Role

Well I thought it was the right time to make an update video for Sam's T Shirt shenanigans. You can watch part 1 from 2 years ago here • Sam's Printed Shirts: ...
This is all the times Sam surprised everyone with a printed face shirt between Campaign 2 Episode 60 - Episode 129
As always my thanks go out to Critrolestats for their archive of Sam's shirts.

"Oh no, they are not all of Matt" Little did they know that was a threat.

[@arancourt5623]

It's not a threat. Threat implies consequences if demands are not met, it was more of watching a movie where you see the BBEG multiple times throughout and then the reveal at the end. Sam is Jaws in the water, and no one realizes it.

[@elusivegamergirl]

Marisha: “Is that my husband? With magic sequins? Sam: “Yeah.” Matt: “Oh geez....” Marisha: “That’s beautiful.” lmao I love how Ashley was the first one to notice the sequin heart, which triggered Sam to slowly flip the sequins and pull the slow reveal of the image, and Marisha paying attention to it drew Matt’s attention to it too with her use of the word “husband”. And Matt always feels compelled to provide an explanation of each image on Sam’s shirts, like he’s defending the reason why the image exists in the first place, thereby filling the audience and the rest of the cast in on each image’s backstory. I love it. ^__^ And to be quite fair, most of the images on the shirts aren’t as bad as he makes them all seem. He just takes perverse pleasure in the rest of Sam’s shirt collection when it starts to include images of the rest of the cast as well. ^__^

It just makes me happy on so many levels. These shirts make things so much better whenever my day is sucking particularly badly. It’s why I love these videos lol 💜💜💜💜💜💜💜

[@elusivegamergirl]

Staring around 1:00 especially. lol Matt’s just dejected exhale of despair and Travis and Liam just laughing at his reaction are amazing. lol and Sam’s innocent “It was in the rotation!!” just got me. Along with the “I’ve got 4 drawers of tshirts.” “4 drawers of Matt??” “Not all Matt. Some are me.” lol I really want the multi-layered Sam within a Sam x5 shirt just cuz it’s pure chaos; though Matt’s various headshots and other pics of his various dramatic DM faces are amazing.
