Sam’s drinking canister says “I have gas” For any new viewers, Hi I’m Flando Maltrizian. I do this thing where I post timestamps to help myself and other people navigate these 4-hour long videos. Most people use them to find the place they fell asleep while watching live, to help speed up rewatch/catchup sessions, or to find good jokes and dramatic stuff. You can click on the blue timestamp numbers on the side, and the video will automatically go to that time and start playing. Good to be back for C3, see y’all in the comments. Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?

    “Tonight I’m just sticking to the script” “….really?” “NO! Of course not! I W R O T E A B R O A D W A Y M U S I C A L”
  • @M00nSlippers
    I see the crew was so upset by Fjord's Southern Accent being fake they made 3 separate characters with southern accents in protest.
  • @omegamiri9479
    Nobody: Matthew Mercer when ever he's not talking: 🤨 🙏
  • I never expect subtitles from videos as long as these. So as a deaf viewer, thank you so much! 😭
  • @lincalmighty
    Well, you know it's a Critical Role campaign when the primary antagonists are furniture and old people. It's the cast's kryptonite.
  • @mattsomers6446
    I want to believe that Liam told Sam "Next campaign, you're our designated healbot." And Sam took that literally.
  • Matt would be a dream eye witness in a police investigation. Who ever he was describing would be caught before he was finished.
  • The best part of the intros is the fact that during Ashton's and FCGs, you can hear Travis and Liam laughing in the background lmao
  • @CurrentKick
    Laudna: "I am fun-scary!" Imogen: "Laudna, you're scary-scary."
  • @mattfolmer7481
    I love that between Ashton's character and their race being an Earth Genasi, that means Taliesin is playing a literal punk rock.
  • @ruigerd
    The duality of being part of the catchup crew, never having to wait for the next episode but also never have a chance to get all the previous merch. Like Sisyphus, I am bound to hell
  • Marisha’s eyes lighting up when Matt mentions Keyleth will never not be wholesome.
  • @chasewills3320
    Words said before disaster: "There was oatmeal and apple pie..."
  • @QemeH
    Cast at any half-opportunity: "Who's on the Tal'Dorei council?" Matt, the long-game-DM: "For that, the council in the new campaign will be anonymous."
  • @justarlo898
    when liam describes orym and laura leans to ashley to whisper, "he's ronin's height" :'') <3
  • 2:51:39 I love how everyone is boiling in their own tears of laugh and Sam is just sitting happily there, in the middle of it like nothing happened.

  • @request1713
    Love how when Marisa and Lauren are asked to stay while everyone else leaves, people leave a couple things behind while Travis just snatches everything he owns like he took it personally 😂
