I dont understand Zac, he’s such an understated entertainer. He seems so laid back head empty, but its just so indescribably good

[@Rylee_G]

ik he’s literally a genius i dont know how to explain it

[@forestbunny4933]

@@Rylee_G exactly. How do you even begin to explain the phenomenon that is, Zac Oyama

[@8Rincewind]

@@forestbunny4933 like many CollegeHumor staff have said before, he's the master of "less is more". He's also just a very chill and relaxed guy. All of the Dimension 20 cast have different skills, Zac is particularly good at active and careful listening. There are times when his "less is more" doesn't land and times when it really does. There are examples of it working and not working on Game Changer. I think Dimension 20 is the perfect environment for his kind of humour, because everything is so heightened, his quick jokes can puncture tension or just provide a surprising twist or breath. Plus the rest of the cast are really good at rolling with and building on his jokes. I can think of loads of scenes where Brennan in particular built on Zac's jokes to elevate them.

[@tegang6452]

In 2017 on CollegeHumor, they did a cast's favorite sketches of the year video and the majority of them were either written by Zac and/or Zac was in them. This fact lives in my brain rent-free because it's a testament to the fact that he is so wildly talented. For him being understated is a feature not a bug

[@ThePrincessAsshole]

zac is that he has the appearance of a 15 year old boy and is in the constant state of "no thoughts, head empty", and thats what makes him the best

[@JaraelMoonsilver]

I love this new era so much, even from the first episode you can tell he lives with a cat because he’s a natural at acting like one

[@bigjedimullet]

PiB playing with the water after seeing a magical vision reflected in it is the most cat thing I’ve ever seen

[@jennyhughey7557]

Zac is so good at just Embodying a character. Like when he's Ricky he like holds himself like a big firefighter himbo. I've been watching Starstruck and like in the very first episode I just looked at Zac and I could tell that Takemori was an asshole but also deeply dead inside. (of course then the end of the episode happened but still.)

[@Lucifersfursona]

Zac knowing exactly the sounds a cat makes in various situations because he has a cat son (that sits on his lap every morning as he drinks coffee, until he bites him) is everything to me

[@Lucifersfursona]

They’re the _right_ cat sounds too 😂 not just like “hiss when upset” Pib does the angry cat wowow at some point Zac’s so good at what he does

[@MacSalterson]

Wait does Zac bite the cat or does the cat bite Zac

[@nyoaeuikhoudu]

@ianpomfret4876 mutual biting.

Clarification needed: Until he (Zac) bites him (cat)

This video is great, I wish Zac Oyama was real

[@simonw560]

One day, science and technology might make it happen. The boys in the lab promise they can get the comedic timing ready for production within the next 20 years but I don't buy it.

zac oyama playing a little shithead cat can be something that's so personal

[@lottesghost]

all i can think about when i see his version of Puss is Skip grabbing the jetpack guy in starstruck and just saying "gimme that" and it working, no roll needed

[@Rylee_G]

i love him so much

[@Griff1011]

"Gimme that" was one of the many, many great moments in Starstruck.

[@ahhhh913]

Every time Skip perched on a shelf to watch people work

You only need four lines to go through life: Fill her up, gimme that, right on and my name is Norman skip takamori

[@sixofone8663]

of course Brennan maintains his "rabbitfolk with Austrailian accent" continuity from the dnd beyond level 20 oneshot with Pentival

[@jishnubhattacharya3387]

I WAS IN THE COMEMNTS LOOKING TO ASK WHY THE RABBIT WAS SO FAMILIAR Also side note: playing assholes( Thaddeus the Avocado, This Fox Thing(I have not been able to watch Neverafter) ) with French Accents

[@eric_the_egggremlin]

look, the Redwall series is a classic for a reason, of COURSE Brennan's hares are Aussies

[@Evergreen2219]

I thought he was doing the rabbit from Barbie Rapunzel

[@JaraelMoonsilver]

Rise of the Guardians’ Hugh Jackman as the Easter Bunny truly changed the trajectory of storytelling

[@sixofone8663]

​@@eric_the_egggremlin I only read the Redwall books, is there some kind of TV show version where the hares are given Austrailian accents?

[@missmyk]

I hope at the end of the campaign we have enough material for a five minute video of Zac just making cat noises

[@iiiiitsmagreta1240]

...Rylee, if you do that, I will mail you a box full of homemade cookies. They will almost certainly be stale by the time they reach you, but it's the thought that counts, right?

[@laurenhatter6824]

Zac has the uncanny ability to make the most lovable, instantly classic characters like they were made artificially out of a Good-Boy Factory

[@sirleebutler]

can’t wait until the end of the season and you do a cat zac supercut.

[@Nylspider]

"This is all mine. Everything here is actually for me" "Oh alright" *takes it anyways* very silly

[@TheKingGobbo]

Was not expecting Brennan’s “fox growl” to be in here, caught me very off guard

[@JaraelMoonsilver]

“What noise a fox make”

[@BBBness]

I like the “smile” Brennan gives after pointing out the dead body of Tomas. It was very cruel and twisted of him.

[@tecshield690]

1:08 That grin is evil

[@liamross340]

zach is much more low key in how he plays. often more in the background. but when the spotlight is on him it’s fucking wonderful

[@General_Grievance]

Out of all of the fake Australian accents out there, Brennan's is the closest. He does tend to mix in a bit of Brit and Kiwi from time to time, but for an accent that's notoriously hard to do, he does really well

[@0kieD0kiee]

Zack playing a cat is the best thing to ever happen to us

[@yourlocaldemon2195]

Zac Oyama is THE best catboy this is not up for interpretation

Thank you Rylee! I ended my subscription after the end of the Faye campaign and had no idea this was out! Collegehumor should pay you for all the revenue you send their way lol

I have no context for this and felt like I missed the start of a conversation between two high people and am trying to piece together what they're talking about as they bicker with each other

[@dapawta]

Zac is literally a cat, confirmed: incredibly talented, but lazes around a lot. Why? Bc doing things is so much work. Back in the day, they used to worship cats and give them offerings for Doing Stuff (TM) Not anymore

[@ThePrincessAsshole]

every time Zac does the fucking cat meows in Neverafter, it gives me life.

[@harryquint7262]

Puss in Boots was originally a bit of a dull character for me. But now with the revelation that, no he’s not just some talking cat with shoes, he is Coyote, he is the trickster, now THAT I can get behind!

no

[@BuckGaming1988]

Being honest, I was super excited for this season and it's been a super let down. D20 feels more and more like a tv show rather than a genuine D&D session, and they did a really good balance before covid but now it's the only reason sub to dropout so they pour a lot of money into production and what not and it feels fake :(

[@Rylee_G]

i felt like that at the start of the season, but the cast is saving it for me
