I mean silly even for DnD...lol The American dream always fails to take into account the “we literally eradicated the natives for us to have these so called “choices””...

[@liammackay4026]

@@nat1baby that’s kinda the point. Despite all the fucked up shit America has done and still does regularly, for a lot of people, the idea of “the American dream” is still important. It might not ever be realised, and it might not be the classic white picket fence, wife and kids, and a golden retriever, but it’s still something to reach for. More as a symbol than anything else, but especially for a series like this that is basically a love letter to the biggest and greatest city in America

I didn’t get at first and then I went “Oh. The whole the thing, okay. I got it.” I was basically Ricky for about five minutes.

[@fatim0nster]

I don't get it, could anyone explain it, please?

[@brentmantel141]

@@fatim0nster That's because it's not really a joke, more of a reference. Siobhan's referencing a common notion that principles of hard work, diligence, discipline, frugality and trustworthiness (credit), are born out of the prevalence of protestant christian religion. There is some support for this, as christian ethics overlap with this concept to a degree, and most arguments against 'protestant work ethic' theory tries to dismantle it by highlighting the rise of capitalist success among Catholics. Christian Work Ethic might be a better fit for the overall theory. Spiritual Work Ethic might be an even better fit, as people's of any distinct faith are shown to obtain financial and social success at a higher rate than those who eschew religious faith. Just my opinion but I think Siobhan is a shill.

[@Thommy2n]

It’s really is a killer every time. *under breath* Just like the protestant work ethic.

[@Rosy2468]

It's clear that you've missed the joke of protestant work ethic, as evidenced by the way you try to explain many types of christians work hard. I hope after reading my full comment you can explain how Siobhan is a "shill"... The whole joke is that the stereotype of the protestant work ethic is on its surface a "positive" aspect - working hard and with discipline sounds like a good thing. However as you touched on but didn't connect to the joke - most people's religions tend to encourage putting in hard work and "clean living" In the US and across Europe, the narrative of the "Protestant work ethic" aka protestants working harder than others and therefore deserving their higher socio-economic status was spread mainly by Protestants to tie themselves to superiority even if they hadn't managed to accomplish that level of wealth themselves. At best it's a pipe dream to make protestants feel better about how hard they worked for so little payoff but at worst, and unfortunately this was very common, it was weaponized as a moral/spiritual hierarchy against groups such as Irish/Latino Catholics or black Americans. Siobhans joke is her rolling her eyes at the toxic manifestation of the American Dream spouting 19th/20th century religious and political bigotry. She is actively mocking the protestant line that they have moral superiority. I am not sure how on earth you arrived at the conclusion that she is a shill and am dying to hear the explanation.

You can feel the tension in the air. They're all seriously calculating exactly what they need to do to win and it's awesome.

[@takua1495]

I don't know whats more evil, Brennan making the American Dream the final boss or Brennan making this fight a two parter

[@theholonet522]

I feel like for the rats riding the pc’s it’s like d-day, and now I’m imagining the rat leader shouting, “30 SECONDS, GET READY, GO GO GO, GET OU-“

[@rabbit-rabbit-boy]

Anyone else gave a huge crush on Zac? 😂😅

[@cannymarie2124]

Since i first laid eyes on the man

[@sofiaretamar3140]

fucking same

[@Thommy2n]

You mean you didn't already?

[@gxtmfa]

I’m straight so… … I mean, maybe. (Edit) possibly

[@scottyyoung4278]

i have never heard a better sentence in my entire life than “stephen sondheim flanks the american dream”

[@jamesrose2867]

The battle sets in this show are some of the most impressive pieces of art I've seen in a d&d show

[@Cieges]

Lou always rolls really well when it counts. Did the same in Fantasy high when he literally needed to roll a nat20

[@c.t.1175]

Quietly discussing their dice children like proud parents on a playground is my favorite part of big rolls

[@Megarodri]

59:44 I love how Brennan made Willy ready an action knowing that Kingstong would fall

[@supenvt]

I'm just blown away by the battle sets and the way there are used both by the players and Brennan. I was entertained by the multi-level buildings, amazed by the water rising in the sewers, but this rotating / tilting / swirling set and the dynamics it creates are just mind-blowing.

[@saccharinesilk]

im just imaging rowan belting "SUCCESS IS SWELL AND SUCCESS IS SWEET, BUT EVERY HEIGHT HAS A DROP~!" and causing TAD to fall out of the sky

[@madebyboys]

Me screaming "THE BAGEL!" repeatedly at my phone before breakfast - my partner "you good?" - Ally "THE BAGEL!!" - his face 'oh damn, you right, you right'

[@rynodoe482]

Rip Stephen Sondheim just died three days ago a real legend

[@brickingle3984]

The gang describing their American dreams gave me more patriotism than I’ve had in a decade

[@elliecarlson2788]

You know what? Same

[@jadync.5971]

The "Dice Children" side plot is the only thing helping my anxiety

[@slamduncan3376]

This is the most Final Fantasy type final boss fight I’ve ever seen in a DND game

[@rhymeswithmoose228]

Homework? Yes. Urgent? Yes. Priorities? Not straight. Dimension 20? More important. Hotel? Trivago.

[@eosatwood1770]

Mood.

[@Chernybrothers]

Toyota

[@theholonet522]

Idk why this is making me laugh so hard but that’s a mood

[@smilesfordays]

@@Chernybrothers Camry?

[@alicepersson9568]

Dimension 20: also, mostly not straight

[@ashleyhoughton8592]

"Santa throws an 8ft spear of peppermint at the American Dream!"

[@notabreadcompany4318]

For a hot second I thought that the dream was going to end its monologue with "I'm going to buy a home upstate/in Connecticut", rather than "I would see it changed"

[@salomebarreto6773]

'A WHITE MAN?? NO!' is all I could think about when I saw the american dream apear

[@garlandilluviel3650]

Having an eye twitch pedantic moment as a Floridian: TAD is in the eye of the hurricane, the still center of the storm. Those in the swirling bands of material outside that zone are in the eye *wall*. (This has been a use of the Identify spell.)

[@garlandilluviel3650]

I feel like a donk making this my. comment when there are things like "Let's live a dangerous life together!" in the world. (But it is what it is, all mixed together, ain't it?)

[@marys.9367]

YES EXACTLY I was thinking this too!

[@hershelroswell]

ally wearing a button-up with a bolo tie is very Pete Attempts Formal Wear

[@hellblazer2296]

THE SUN NEVER SETS ON THE RAT EMPIRE!

[@carlyjs95]

Ok but seriously though. I thought everyone was pulling ally's leg a little too hard about dropping the dice but after seeing how much room they have to work with everytime? What on earth are you actually doing with your hands there? good nelly 🤣

[@newageoutlaw]

This is how I want to always remember Stephen Sondheim. Killing an aberration of the American Dream with some swords.

[@Hope-uo1nz]

This is how Stephen would want to be remembered

[@speckofdignity2487]

I’ve only just started this episode, but wow I feel the need to state how incredible Zac looks in that shade of pink. Or maybe it’s just him in general and I’m only now noticing but man he looks amazing. Also Brennen looks incredible in black. And Siobhan’s hair is beautiful..... honestly just everyone in this show is incredibly attractive. I love being bi, but this is just overwhelming

[@Supertasticisaword]

Zac Oyama and Ally pretty much describe my sexuality tbh

[@siroreo]

*bi panic intensifies*

[@ink4968]

@@Supertasticisaword no cause same, like is Pete actually my fav character or do I just wanna shag Ally? Guess I’ll never know

[@emilywood3710]

Everything about this comment speaks to my soul in an incredible way…..

[@user-gk2sc4ky4i]

lmaoo i said "you good?" outloud to this i feel the panic

[@halbelle6896]

my fav is brennan saying something, then spelling-bee-style rewording the exact same sentence. it cracks me up beyond belief

[@ThePinjaProductions]

Low key wish Mr Time Stamp would make a list of all those moments

[@twinmasterpro]

Re-watching this for Sondheim. RIP you broadsword wielding, magnificent man.

[@elsa9421]

Ricky and Esther finally getting together makes me smile SOOOO wide!!! Love those two ☺️☺️☺️

[@nathanjames7425]

I don't know if this gets addressed later, but Kingston messed up his bless spell. If he does a 4th level Bless, it should give 6 characters the d4

[@TerraDoctor]

Exactly!

[@thisrandomnoob3681]

I was thinking that the entire time, sometimes it happens lol but I hope they figured that out later

[@hexxblade1534]

Nod is just the best younger sibling to Pete

[@elliecarlson2788]

The moment Brennan described Nod leaning on Pete’s arm in diner my love for them grew exponentially

[@toastghost9145]

​@Ellie Carlson In that moment, I knew I would fight anyone for the precious little grey bean.

[@mehershrishtinigam5449]

I STARTED WATCHING THIS SHOW BECAUSE I THINK YOU GUYS ARE FUNNY AND NOW IM CRYING AND THINKING ABOUT MY PURPOSE IN THE WORLD

[@jessealvarado9416]

Dual broadsword wielding Stephen Sondheim is probably the best thing I've seen in this series.
