When cut scenes go wrong

[@Quasimodo1957]

The addition of the 'Wilhelm Scream' is a masterful touch.

[@Astraeus..]

Always glad to see when people recognize that sound clip and know what it is. I heard in quite a few films when I was younger, but that was pre-Google and finding out what something like that was called wasn't exactly easy to do. First time I distinctly remember noticing it as it's own thing was in Batman Returns, after previously hearing it in Return of the Jedi (which I had seen multiple times, so it was very familiar).

[@Quasimodo1957]

@@Astraeus.. Ah but true aficionados such as yourself delve deeper into the history of film making. I was talking to my granddaughters who will be studying film and cinema in college. I mentioned that when they watch Pulp Fiction the briefcase is a perfect example of a "MacGuffin". I figured they're now 'one up' from their classmates.

[@Theduckwebcomics]

​@@Astraeus..There are two screams that are often used, the Wilhelm scream, which sounds pretty natural, and the Howie scream, which sounds ridiculous and out of place. Most of the time when people think they hear the Whilhelm it's actually Howie 😅

[@NoObstacle]

I thought it was very well known, but I am terminally online 😂

[@ragabashmoon1551]

@@Theduckwebcomics Okay, never heard of the Howie scream, so I googled it, and yeah... there is not a comparison. I don't see how anyone could mistake the Wilhelm for the Hoiwe or vice versa.

[@Risad]

I really hope they actually make either an MMO or an RPG game in the future using all of the epic NPC man as a storyline template.

[@JAKEAVALON-rg8xm]

may be i can make first i need to asked permision

[@luketownsend781]

I would definitely donate to that if they did a kick-start for said project

[@emilyscavalier]

There is actually a fan made game called Skycraft - a fan made Epic NPC game, I have played through it and it is great. It doesn't have some of the newer episodes in it but it does have all the classic references in it. I think I heard somewhere that Vi Va La Dirt League is not only aware but has played through it as well. It is a simple game but very fun to play!

[@Risad]

@@emilyscavalier I must now find this game, ty for the info.

[@emilyscavalier]

@@Risad your welcome, I hope you are able to find it and enjoy it!

[@wynnefox]

6:55 Alan/Greg the Garlic Farmer almost breaking character and trying not to laugh is so great.

[@Paxmax]

Hamish's "10m windup Double punch" made me burst out laughing instantly and Alan being soooooo close to burst out laughing really made my morning better!

[@SmM33380]

I could not stop laughing at Adam's repetitive weeping at 3:45 Episode "Awkward Cutscene"

[@pa4o93ir49]

Yeah his character always does that. It’s nothing new

[@RolfStones]

I can really appreciate Alan's acting skills in the Bad Acting skit. Must've been pretty hard to sound and look so unconvincing.

[@Wheams]

The Wilhelm scream to top it off though was golden

[@eddobh]

that's enough chattering.

[@Mr_Stone1]

Must have taken many attempts, he is such a happy guy and frequently breaks into laughter during the D&D green screens.

[@perlundgren7797]

I can't help but feel that the only proper way to read this comment is in Alan's/Isaac's voice.

[@pr0duct1v1ty7]

Ouch

[@RSProduxx]

also interesting to see that VLDL themselves had several level ups over the years, resulting in better equipment and skills :)

[@Sarkoptesmilbe]

When Isaac's hand just flopped against the adventurer... 🤣

[@wiredcoffee9347]

Once had a glitch cutscene in heavenly sword where i had sliced the neck of an enemy which triggered the cutscene and during the cutscene every time it focused on a character their neck would be spraying a fountain of blood. Was funny to see everyone like that and not caring.

[@darkner2390]

9:25 Isaac's little "oh no" made me think of Knuckles the Echida's infamous "oh no".

[@greed94]

Reminds me of Tear of Grace and how he absolutely lost it at that part. Do recommend.

[@darkner2390]

@@greed94 That's exactly where I first saw it. I still watch his videos to this day.

07:30 is probably one of my favourite skids ever! ^^ Love each and every one of you, guys! Thank you for such a great time and so many awesome videos! 😊 Baelins Route will be forever in my heart! ❤

[@JayceeVoZuri]

The first clip is just legendary how ben holds the sword is just epic

[@kingLostSouls]

VLDL should start making these compilations with an extra new episode sneaked in 🤣

[@stoneageprogrammer432]

As an indie game developer, I spend many hours at a time working on my game, deep into programming and game logic and trying to figure out how to make things work in a game. Viva la dirt league videos are always popping up on my feed. That's why I watch so many of them, to destress, take a break, and, ultimately, to realize that I should pay homage to this show someday with little jokes in my game.

[@drittzthedarktuber4327]

I would love to play one of youre games

[@GeekGamer666]

If you add VLDL jokes in your games you'll get a whole bunch of us playing just so we can try and spot it lol

[@stoneageprogrammer432]

@@GeekGamer666 I would really love that. What would really blow my mind is if VLDL started playing my game for the same reason, and then started quoting my game. Or doing skits about it. For that matter, if I started running into people who played my game and then started quoting it at me, I think I would spontaneously combust. :)

[@newarteest]

The Wilhelm scream during the bad acting skit was some "inside baseball" kinda detail

[@grumpus_hominidae]

12:16 this was the most emotion Isaac EVER put into a speech, LoL 🤣

[@chamiltonart3319]

The Whilhelm scream just as buddy dies made my day.

[@razpootis5802]

Scripted deaths are like a punch to the gut, a slap on the face, and a spit on the shoe.

[@Psychlist1972]

The "Please adventurer, save me" bit starting at 14:55 was so wholesome.

[@rexycreates]

As a cutscene, I can confirm.

Whoevers doing the fashion in this series... Just amazing

[@MadDarthMatt]

I just want to point out that the orc is actually HALF his size, so he should have said "why don't you pick on someone twice your size!"

[@geribaldi2]

Absolute best part of the 2nd sequence is when Greg proclaims " pancake day is on sunday!!". Blink and you'll miss it, but super funny
