I love it that Charles's got the higher intelligence stat of the two to spot bad ideas, but Bernard's got the higher charisma stat to talk him into going along with them anyway.

[@asifjaved4076]

Its like, Charles is almost aware like greg.

[@GlareMaster]

Charles is sentient and aware as shown in the loop.

[@konstellashon1364]

​@@GlareMasterlike, halfway sentient. He notices his programming, but can't quite understand it. 😂

[@musicaccount7116]

Charles definitely has the higher INT. He got the other muggers to mug the chicken.. 😂

[@mattyryon]

Rowan's facial expression in the npc dialog loop deserves an academy award

[@Trehek]

His "I totally get what's going on" expression in the mugger vs mugger skit is also amazing! And his furious nodding that threatens to make his helmet fall on his face when he's convincing Ben!

[@jonathanjohnson6468]

Omg 😂, that moment when he almost achieved self awareness just to have it snatched away

They were *literally* scraping the bottom of the barrel and beating a dead horse, this joke deserves more credit than it's getting

[@jaysonarends145]

I would comment, but they mugged all my time.

[@30kk]

Ben's epileptic seizure of fighting so hard to not say say mugging, literally made me spit my coffee out. I love Ben, he's OUTRAGEOUS.

[@toyota4725]

“IM SORRY GRANDMAAA!!!”

[@lawrencebergeron6164]

Same great acting

[@philipped.r.6385]

He's trying so hard to fight off his NPC coding!

[@scattershot666]

I love how Ben has a logical reason not to mug someone/something and Rowen manages to convince him with the same series of questions every time.

[@keit99]

The hey, what are we is supposed to be the script trigger that sets the muggers as hostile and forces the dialogue to happen.

[@murkotron]

I think Charles is just a regular guy who is quite intelligent and reasonable, but he is under the spell of Bernard who is actually a sorcerer under the disguise of a dumb mugger

[@keit99]

@@murkotron probably a warlock, because they can Charisma cast. And somehow I doubt Bernard could cast with wisdom or intelligence

[@Kev1nTheKev1n]

“what are we?” the phrase to activate a mugger’s brain

[@ThymeTwister]

Would you like to pass the time with a little solitaire?

[@kaltaron1284]

"Brain". More like a Pavlovian response.

[@pitzo5555]

"would you kindly"

[@desertseagull5468]

Man if they ever make a game they should make a mugger class with an entire story line with these guys lmao

[@adamdg89]

a high quality game set in their universe with semi self aware sentient ai would be amazing

[@melissap2633]

Omg what a great ideo. The cameo of all cameos. Its like the neebs cameo in conan. Everyone will love and identify with it. Make this happen!! I would buy any game that did this idea.

[@RogerRabbit342]

Harriman and deception checks like in BG3 would be fucking mental

[@JasonMaxwellsRcHobbies]

Larian Studios should hire these boys

[@jimbob6490]

This is a terrible idea

[@hlashbrooke]

Ben's reaction when he knows Rowan is about to say "What are we?" is just gold.

[@SubliminalEncryption]

@aeonise ...well, I sure hope playing! 🤣😆

[@magicpyroninja]

[@grathado28]

No....*looks back, looks forward* "I love her" 😅😅

[@spinyslasher6586]

[@mancunian4eva332]

Bens facial expressions are everything in these videos. His ability to rotate through his emotions visually is amazing.

[@zackhartle8629]

Im fairly certain Charles gained to much sentiance over time and eventually becomes the "bugged npc"

[@dafook865]

Then he gets fixed in the next update. Sad lyf.

[@devam8192]

Greg just standing there awkwardly with 2 half-dead muggers in front of him is literally me on any social event.

[@kingwhisky7535]

"At any social event"*

[@Render90]

I love how Ben's facial expression changes from a big smile when he says "yeah, gold" to confusion after Bernard answers "misery"😂

[@LyrictheFilthyCasual]

Ben's facial expressions are pure gold 100% of the time tbh.

[@theredeft5319]

The muggers are some of my favorite characters in these skits. Ben and Rowan do such a good job of being cartoonishly silly especially with the way they hit their jaws out haha.

[@SgtDreamz]

Hamish is a treat, every skit he's in he brings the perfect mix of energy and craziness.

[@OtakuRusty]

Hey! They mugged me, $100 dollars !

[@jayxeewastaken6895]

Wow, muggers somehow take 100 irl dollar

[@VivaLaDirtLeague]

Thank you for letting us mug you!! That is hugely generous :D

[@liamthomaspeters110]

My biggest wish is that we see Charles and Bernard in the DnD series, it would be hilarious to have Ben and Rowan act those characters out for a table session

[@SzaraSzarancza]

Rowan should play a table.

[@Henrikr-wp9wl]

The Muggers are the best NPCs. They are the real heroes. No matter how often they are slain by heroes, dragons, guardians, soldiers, they just keep mugging.

[@kingwhisky7535]

I love that when ben and rowan are mugging each other its 83 gold and when alan steps in and splits it between them he gives them 41 each which is 82. So essentially greg the garlic farmer mugs the muggers for 1 gold.

[@Gh3ttoboy]

Thats just the payment for helping the muggers out

[@plektosgaming]

Merely a small transactional fee. :)

[@jeff.lennon]

When I saw this skit come up, I thought oh crap the 10 hour loop again!

[@Sirithil]

@@jeff.lennon The ten hour loop was the greatest cinema event of the year.

[@socaldayve6684]

One of my fave TW3 lines is when, after dispatching a group of bandits, Geralt muses "I'll never understand why grown men throw away their lives attacking a trained witcher. Is it my face?" 😆

[@spazisspaz6074]

I would love to see a Mugger origin story. It would be super interesting to see how Charles met Bernard and if Charles ever had autonomy, or if Bernard has always had that subconscious control over Charles. I feel that would be a fun skit!

[@ebadger82]

I do wonder what Charles would have made of his life if Bernard didnt have his spoken mind control over him. WHAT ARE WE..??

[@al_says]

Well Charles did say his grandma taught him to mug so that's his origin story, not much about Bernard though... I guess Charles just transitioned to be a duo with Bernard after learning from his gammy.

[@tomo-gq2tq]

Charles claims to have witness the watcher slay monsters and armies, they should add that in a watcher skit.

[@CrunchySpon]

wait who's charles and who's bernard KEKW

[@konstellashon1364]

​@@CrunchySponCharles is the complainer played by Ben (blonde hair). Bernard is the trigger happy helmet wearing mugger played by Rowan.

[@baldmonkk]

Rowan and Ben, their comedic attempts at crime are just a blessing for the laughter-starved souls like me

[@dissensia6024]

I think the reason I've been watching VLDL for 6+ years is because they really nail the characters they play regardless of what situation they seem to be in.

[@Timmahh85]

Consistency is key. They have been great back since they started doing StarCraft music videos 😊 It’s for the nerds, by the nerds. Not any corporate bs only out to make money. That’s why I love them and always will 😊

[@garagejams]

This channel has helped me through some of the worst of times in my life. Your videos have made me laugh when I thought I never would again. Thank you all!

[@kjherrera1289]

"I don't think your quite picking up what I'm putting down?" ...I cried laughing at this one

[@DrakeWurrum]

My favorite thing is that Charles was perfectly willing to leave the mugging life behind when he thought Bernard wanted to turn over a new leaf. Dude is just supporting his bro, through thick and thin. He was so ready for that bake sale.

[@FaultAndDakranon]

Uhuh. Charles is one of my favourite characters in the whole viva Canon.

[@Kaito57]

Wish we could see him make one of his carrot cakes at least once.

[@TempestFirestrike]

It is my head canon that the reason that Charles got so good at baking Carrot Cake is that he bakes them to smuggle lockpicks into the guardhouse holding cell's and he learned it from his Grand Mother (Grand Mugger)😁 And it would explain why they are always wondering free...

[@FaultAndDakranon]

@@TempestFirestrike That's adorable.

[@TempestFirestrike]

@@FaultAndDakranon Thank you, glad you like it...😊

[@GTAVictor9128]

As ridiculous as the notion of muggers trying to mug a dragon is, funnily enough something similar happened to me in Skyrim: When I was rampaging as a werewolf, a thief ran up and demanded I hand over all my valuables while I was still in werewolf form. I tried to intimidate them but they scoffed, so naturally I mauled them.

[@Goblin_deez.]

The meta commentary on the barrel episode is the most OP comedy I’ve ever seen, I absolutely love the self awareness. I’ve not laughed this much in ages.

[@PobortzaPl]

In the "Mind Control" episode we have a BEAUTIFUL example of music being louder then lines spoken by NPCs

Ben has an extraordinary talent for MUGGING the camera! (Not an insult! With all those close ups I laughed when I realized the pun of mugger mugging and an actor mugging the camera.) 🤣

[@crystaldazz]

As much as VLDL seems to dislike mugger episodes, you guys really have made something brilliant. It might be silly, and it might be dumb, but it scratches the classic/nostalgia itch so well, and it puts a smile on our faces every time you make one of these. There's endless content to be made here, if you have the will and imagination. Mug Karen! (crossover) Mug Playtech (crossover) Mug Greg (psychological shenanigans) Mug Crazy Greg (should have listened to his dialogue!) Mug a portal (metaphorical episode) Mug Bodger (get tricked) Mug in Darkwood (get overwhelmed) Mug Baelin (get destroyed) Mug a Mug (promote stuff) Mug a Speedrunner (confusion) Mug a Boss (plan backfires) Mug the PubG group (get shot) Mug the Death Knight / Herbalist (get pwned) Mug the Survival Gamers (??) and that's just off the top of my head. I'd actually really enjoy seeing an attempt to mug Baelin. :3

[@GrifoStelle]

[@DKTAz00]

"She's already in the game, she knows whats up" such a good line xD
