Then, on Vex's turn, she has Trinket jump in the pool to douse the flames. While this works, Trinket finds out the hard way that the liquid in the pool is actually ''acid''.

After a few strength checks, he succeeded... and then the group found out the hard was that the Bag of Holding doesn't have an air supply. [[BlackComedy And that was the end of Dork the Ox.]] Then they butchered him and put the meat in the Bag of Holding... and learned that the Bag of Holding isn't refrigerated.

Occasionally the usual Critical Role episode can't happen - maybe Matt is unwell, or some of the players are at a con, or perhaps they all just went to Burning Man. On these ocassions the usual episode may be replaced with a one-shot special episode. Sometimes these are set in the usual Critical Role setting of Tal'Dorei, sometimes they are something completely different. Whatever they are, they're always funny.

!!In-Universe Special Episodes
[[folder:Critical Rejects (Part 1)]]
* While describing Snugglelord's background, Zac states that his power comes from the Overlord of Geek and Sundry. Matt [[DeadpanSnarker deadpans]] that that would make it an infernal pact.
* Pretty much the entire episode, but Overlord Zac's intro hints at what the viewers were in for.
-->'''Zac:''' [[IncomingHam I AM THE SNUGGLELORD! THERE HAVE BEEN NONE BEFORE ME AND THERE WILL BE NONE AFTER, I AM THE SNUGGLELORD!]]
-->'''Matt:''' It has been decreed, here and now.
** During this, [[CutenessProximity Erika is glomping Zac adorably.]]
* Matt is showing how you could help players immerse themselves by putting them on the spot and does it to Liam who replies with a sort of whiny cartoony voice that sells it.
* At the end of the one-off adventure Matt improvises, one of the group offers a female Halfling NPC to join their group. Matt immediately tells them to make a persuasion check... [[OverprotectiveDad against her father.]]
** Having failed at this, Salty Pete then asks if instead they can have the old crone with the tiny violin. The crone is extremely excited that anyone even noticed her, and joins the group at the end of the session.
* Liam cut the twins' birthday cake with his dagger, prompting comments of it being a Sneak Attack.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Critical Rejects (Part 2)]]
* Like the first part of this instalment in episode 12, far too many moments to count. The main gimmick of the chat suggesting what happened next at any moment provided the majority of them.
* Matt's slow descent into madness over the course of the session, as a result of said gimmick. Particularly his "oh god ''no''" reaction to [[spoiler: Salty Pete getting a Deck of Many Things.]]
* One chat-mandated moment needs special mention though: Salty Pete looks at his hand to find his lost fingers are back. [[spoiler: When he tries to touch them, [[YankTheDogsChain they vanish]], and he hears the laughter of the Pit Fiend hunting him (due to the Deck of Many Things) in the distance.]] The monotone text-to-speech voice that reads the chat messages makes it even funnier.
* The [[spoiler: GenderFlip curse everyone is hit by]] even extends to Ulfgar's ''[[ICallItVera swords]]'', as [[spoiler: "Linda" and "Regina" become "Larry" and "Robert".]]
* Marisha revealing during the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue that Edna [[spoiler:was the old lady that got murdered at the hands of Tiberius in episode 25]].
* An accidental one. Right after [[spoiler: Matt describes Ulfgar's [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome killing blow against the Gibbering Mouther]],]] there is a long silence before Dan's phone goes off. What is his ringtone? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tt04ZSlbZ0 The MLG airhorn]].

[[folder: Battle Royale I]]
* Mittens, the cat of divine destruction. Sending goliaths, tieflings, and air ashari to a graveyard near you.
* Matt's disappointment that his freaky pit of skeleton hands sees absolutely no action during the fight. Despite the fact that the pit is quite sizeable and in the center of the battlefield.
* Keyleth rising about seventy feet into the air as a flying eagle, only to fall back to the earth like a sack of dirty laundry when Zahra very calmly and professionally hits Keyleth with a spell bolt, about three seconds later.
* The lengths that Zahra and Kashaw go to take Grog out of the fight, from attempting to blind him, bind him, freeze him, dazzle him, and simply banish him, only for them all to fail spectacularly.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: The Goblins: A Pathfinder One-Shot]]
* The entire premise of Matt Mercer running a Pathfinder Oneshot with Critical Role regulars Marisha (Snizzler, alchemist) and Taliesin (Mezek, monk) along with guest players Phil Lamarr (Browntooth, rogue), Ivan Van Norman (Grizznak, sorcerer), and Ashly Burch (Piglet, barbarian) playing ChaoticStupid goblins. Matt could barely hold it together as the party got into their roles.
* All of the players have special Goblin Songs they've composed for themselves that allow them to reroll, provided they sing the song on the stream. All of them get to sing their songs, which are amazing. [[spoiler:With the exception of Taliesin, ''none'' of their rolls improve, which is hilarious.]] Ashly's is to the tune of "Kiss From A Rose". Marisha's is about how much she loves blowing things up and ends with her greeting Homeland Security.
* Grizznak and Snizzler both blow their Survival checks and lead the party, respectively, into a bramble thicket and ''deeper'' into the bramble thicket towards a tree that promptly gets struck by lightning. It's Mezek who leads them out despite (because of?) his perpetual state of drunkenness.
* Taliesin decides to play in the mud. Ivan decides to start kicking mud in his face. The soundtrack picks a beautiful moment.
--> '''Grizznak:''' What you gonna do about it, Mezek? What you gonna do about it?
--> '''Mezek:''' Wait 'til you're asleep. ''(ominous crack of thunder)''
* At Snizzler's suggestion, they collectively pass a Stealth check by pretending to be garden gnomes. The guards passing by, unaware that they're goblins, make fun of them and call them "stupid gnomes," which the party takes pretty personally.
-->'''Everyone:''' ''(grumpy muttering)''
-->'''Mezek:''' Two arms, two legs, one head. We'll find him again.
-->'''Everyone:''' ''(enthusiasm)''
* The goblins, using a tree branch, try to build a boat. They end up with something rather more like (as Matt describes it) a [[InherentlyFunnyWords pool noodle]].
* Snizzler manages to roll a ''negative one'' on a swim check, which turns into Snizzler trying to get away from the water by stepping on everyone else's heads.
** And once Snizzler gets across the river, he throws up, and Mezek and Grizznak Ro-sham-bo for the vomit. Mezek wins, and later uses the vomit as a makeshift oil slick.
* Sneaking into the grate produces this wonderful exchange, which puts Taliesin into hysterics:
-->'''Browntooth:''' Sometimes it pays to be ''quiet.''
-->'''Piglet:''' I think we've all learned a valuable lesson here today.
-->'''Browntooth:''' Now who wants to smash the grate?
-->'''Piglet:''' (''screaming'') '''''ME!'''''
* The goblins spot a shiny thing and promptly fight over it. Piglet wins what turns out to be a human ribcage.
-->'''Matt:''' You smell it. Marrow hasn't been tapped yet.
-->'''Piglet:''' Can I eat it?
-->'''Matt:''' You can.
-->'''Piglet:''' I eat it.
* Mezek makes an attack.
-->'''Mezek:''' I have Stunning Fist.
-->'''Browntooth:''' And lovely eyes.
-->'''Mezek:''' One of them's mine!
* Piglet, while raging, takes a bite out of a Gelatinous Cube, and assures Snizzler that it's delicious as the acid is dissolving her face.
* Taliesin wants to invent a cocktail based on the Gelatinous Cube called the "Numb Yum."
* Snizzler stuffs a lit, fiery bomb into the Cube right next to Grizznak, who's been absorbed and paralysed by the Cube, and gives him a cheery thumbs-up before it explodes. Ivan mentions that he's screaming internally.
* Browntooth is ''good'' at stealth.
-->'''Matt:''' I need you all to roll stealth checks.
-->'''Phil:''' 40.
-->'''Matt:''' You vanish from time and space!
* Snizzler shrinks himself so that the other can throw him to the other side of a gap, but ''before'' they do that, they make fun of him for being tiny and Grizznak starts playing with him like a doll. Marisha's sounds of goblin-y outrage are fantastic.
-->'''Matt:''' You immediately regret this decision.
* Taliesin bequeathing his "Golden Snitch" die to Ashly, due to her rolling a natural 20.
-->'''Taliesin:''' Golden Snitch man, don't fuck with the Golden Snitch.
** Almost seconds afterwards, Marisha (who is at times the anti-Taliesin when it comes to rolls) needed to roll an acrobatic roll to save herself, with everyone hoping her Snitch would work the same way. It didn't.
-->'''Taliesin:''' I was about to say, "that Golden Snitch never rolls well, though..." ''(everyone breaks into laughter)''
** Marisha continues to make mediocre rolls to save herself, causing the party to laugh even more at her bad luck.
* Piglet screaming "I WANNA RAGE!" in a squeaky voice. Grog would be proud.
* The five-goblin TotemPoleTrench, which is surprisingly successful... for a while.
* Mezek steals a pouch from a drunk man. It turns out to contain 8 gold pieces and a snuffbox.
-->'''Mezek:''' Ooh! I eat all the snuff.
* Grizznak literally [[spoiler: sneezing himself into unconsciousness]].
* The final battle, which veers straight into BlackComedy as Mezek and Piglet [[spoiler: [[OffWithHisHead decapitate]] no less than three of the enemy [=PCs=] ''with blunt instruments'']].
* Snizzler's last act before they leave the city is to [[spoiler: throw a bomb at the church and burn it to the ground]]. Taliesin is ''so'' proud.
* At the very end, Matt reveals that the goblins faced off against and viciously slaughtered [[spoiler:''the main protagonists of the Pathfinder comics, Paizo's Iconic [=PCs=], in their canonical first adventure'']]. Marisha is delighted by the idea that somewhere in spacetime is a group of players demoralised because they got a party-wipe at level 2.
-->'''Taliesin:''' Hey, guys, congratulations: we are the [[{{Series/Community}} darkest]] [[AlternateTimeline timeline]].

[[folder: Battle Royale II]]
* The battle royale's organizer is revealed to be... The Beyonder?
* Keyleth's anguished declaration of love to Vax after she ruthlessly kicks his barely alive body into a lava pit.
** As Vax sinks to his fiery death in the lava he raises his hand above the lava's surface and gives her the middle finger.
* Vax sics his poisonous snake belt, Simon, on Keyleth in what should be a tense scene where Keyleth is trapped in an enclosed space with a lethal creature, only for Keyleth to totally misinterpret the vibes going on and courteously talk to the snake.
-->'''Keyleth:''' Hello, Simon!
* The Beyonder accidentally forgetting to restore the losers to full health after the battle.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: The Screw Job]]
* Sam's character, Obby the Rat, is a fountain of hilarity:
** For starters, his accent is ridiculous.
-->'''Sam/Obby:''' Obby the Rat is now realizing he must maintain accent for 3 hours. With limited accent capabilities.
** His response to Dren's haikus
-->'''Obby:''' I'm Obby the Rat/Know why they call me that?/Cause I hate haiku.
** Related to the above:
-->'''Dren:''' Do you guys wanna hear a haiku I wrote?
-->'''Tarvis:''' A haiku?
-->'''Delweth:''' What the fuck is a haiku?
-->'''Obby:''' It is a 7-5-7 meter poem.
-->'''Dren:''' Well, 5-7-5.
-->'''Obby:''' Not where I'm from.
** He attempts to use the blood sigils keyed to the Bluebottom bloodline, claiming he could be related as he has "a vast lineage."
** When Devan finds a secret door, invalidating the need for the risky climbing Obby just did, Tarvis makes her hug the dwarf. While he is covered in pee.
-->'''Obby:''' ''(spreads arms)'' It's okay, I am frequently used as punishment for everything.
** His many reasons for why he is called Obby the Rat, including the aforementioned "I hate haiku" moment. They range from the expected: "Because I am small like rat"; to the absurd: "Because I hate art"; to the weird, but mundane: "Because Obby is actually short for Obenthal, it's a nickname".
* Obby and Dren go to investigate the library. Obby rolls high for an investigation check on the bookshelves and finds amidst the books on history and magic... an erotic novel. He gives it to Dren. Which leads to this moment when the group meet up again.
-->'''Obby:''' We found...
-->'''Dren:''' [cutting him off] Nothing! There was nothing!
* Liam describes The Shrew's magic room as "Taliesin Jaffe's wet dream".
* Devan triggers a trap and is teleported inside a glass tank of water full of toxic fish. In a tense moment, the party rushes in to save her, hammering the glass tank with everything they have. Devan spends her rounds trying, but failing, to break her bound hands free ([[NiceJobBreakingItHero the rest of the party bound her hands earlier]]). For several rounds this goes on and the tank still holds, it seems like Devan is doomed... and then [[RememberedICouldFly Laura remembers she has Misty Step and can just bamf out of the tank]], rendering all that effort for nothing.
* Delweth's explaining how she punishes betrayal by flaying and wearing the skin of the traitor. She goes into great detail how she could wear Devan's skin as a hat but wishes there was enough so she could make a skirt.
* The RunningGag of Obby's name being said wrong to the point that Delweth says Obby should kill Dren just for getting it wrong the most.
* Travis' character is just named Tarvis. Lampshaded by Liam in his narrated intro: "Yes, that's the name Travis went with." He later explains that Travis spent ''weeks'' putting off naming the character before finally choosing.
** Tarvis is built up in the intro as this amazing assassin who The Clasp expects great things from. Travis then proceeds to roll low for pretty much the entire session.
** He ties Wil Wheaton's Thorbir for the most Natural 1s rolled in a single session (6). He gets progressively more upset with each one.
* Tarvis and the others yell at Dren for betraying The Clasp. Dren retorts that she never wanted to be an assassin, she wanted to be a poet.
* Liam ends up having his own version of the Vax/Vex problem: Three of his players have names that begin with "D", and he keeps confusing them.
* Liam describes a dead rat being smeared by a door. Travis and Mary simultaneously turn to Sam and say "Obby, your cousin."
-->'''Obby:''' Not related.
-->'''Dren:''' I thought you said you had a vast lineage?
-->'''Obby:''' That one I knew particularly.
* Dren and her haikus are adorably funny.
** Speaking of Dren, her complete inability to hide how much she cares about Devan borders on MostDefinitelyNotAVillain territory.
*** One of her attempts involves loudly proclaiming they should use Devan as a human shield against a trap.

[[folder: Battle Royale III]]
* The sheer schadenfreude of Taliesin Jaffe, God of Dice, rolling multiple nat 1s and 2s and getting eliminated first of the [=PCs=].
* Vex traps Grog in the necklace, so he ''attacks the interior of the necklace'' - and breaks out.
* Everyone's faces when they realize it's down to Tary and Grog.
* With 1 hitpoint left, Grog decides to draw from the Deck of Many Things - ''five times''. To everyone's increasing bewilderment (Travis included), not only does he ''avoid'' being horribly cursed, but he gets a nifty weapon, a knight companion to help him fight and extra hitpoints.
** One of the cards he draws is Rogue (turns an ally against you), and Matt describes the hypothetical scenario of Grog returning from the battle to be backstabbed by Uncle Wilhand.
* Tary's plan for the battle? Use the Force Sphere made to imprison enemies on ''himself'', suffering 5d4 of damage, and have Doty carry him around while the others kill each other. He doesn't even get his next turn before the sphere is taken from Doty and thrown around like a rubber ball. [[spoiler: The fact that it ''actually worked'' might make it even funnier.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Bar Room Blitz!]]
* Sam as DM is always ramping up the humor.
** Notably, he put double-digit [=NPCs=] in his first map ever as DM. Not a smart move, but oh so funny.
** The bar's name: Ass Sailor. The "C" and "R" fell off because this isn't Critical Role.
* Kingston's attraction to Clothesline leads to...unfortunate moments
-->'''Kingston:''' I'm not saying I have a type, but my preferred terrain is a litter box.
** Kingston also provokes the first attack roll by hitting on Clothesline
-->'''Clothesline:''' You are this close from a claw in your goddamn eye Kingston. So choose the next few words carefully!
-->'''Kingston:''' Catnip and chill?
-->'''Ashly:''' Can I attack Kingston?
* Frankfurt demanding his [[OnePhoneCall "one courier pigeon"]] and demanding to speak with his lawyer.
* Mary has the best way of saying "kitty kitty kitty".
** Mary switches from a posh speaking lady to a uncouth person from Joisey whenever Gryffin has a Wild Magic surge.
* Brian doesn't care as long as he can hit Frankfurt - and Frankfurt's dice are blessed, making all the bard's spells miss.
* The ''moment'' Liam brags about not having taken any damage the entire fight, Ashly scores two critical hits on Jayne. Liam's reaction to the second nat 20 is what sells it:
-->'''Liam:''' WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? GET OUT OF THIS BUILDING, GET OUT OF THIS BUILDING.
* Kingston hates Frankfurt because he slept with his wife. Clothesline hates Jayne because she's crazy, dangerous and almost killed her. Frankfurt hates Jayne because [[spoiler: she is a follower of the Chained Oblivion, and that cult wiped out Frankfurt's village, leading to him swearing an oath of revenge]]. When they reach the boss fight, they basically spent a lot of their resources and took heavy damage fighting themselves, and keep doing it and only Gryffin is actually fighting the boss. Sam lampshades it.
* Kingston and Gryffin talking about Kingston's book. One of the most notables is [[RunningGag Doors:]] [[TakeThat The Idiot's Enemy]].
* Upon hearing how many dice worth of damage she is about to receive, [[https://clips.twitch.tv/PluckySaltyAdminNotLikeThis Ashly starts singing "Amazing Grace."]] Mary immediately joins in for the harmonies, and impressively keeps up even when Ashly improvises the lyrics:
--> '''Both:''' I have three / hit points / Just three / hit points / I am / about / to dieeee...
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Bunions and Flagons]]
* A game run by Travis playing as Grog running a game of "Bunions and Flagons" for Vex, Vax, Percy, and Scanlan. Grog is the "Bunion Master".
* The first map that appears during the game is a literal cock and balls, and the second is a pair of breasts that the group initially perceives as an egg.
* Scanlan's [[BadBadActing character voice]] for when he's speaking as in-game Scanlan.
* At one point Travis speaks as Grog speaking as Trinket, which causes everyone at the table [[{{Corpsing}} to fall into fits of laughter]]. Sam in particular is laughing so hard he can't physically speak for about 30 seconds.
** As is so often the case, context here makes it even better. Scanlan engages in a bit of wish fulfillment and poisons Trinket with a meatball, causing the bear to take significant damage and nearly die. Vex heals the bear and casts Speak With Animals to figure out what happened.
-->'''Vex''': I go 'Trinket, what happened?!'
-->'''Trinket''': I had the worst stomachache! I dunno, I ate that meatball from Scanlan and I fuckin' ''died''.
-->''(A pause as everyone frantically struggles to remain in-character, with varying degrees of success.)''
-->'''Trinket''': I don't wanna make any ''assumptions...''
-->''(Everyone breaks spectacularly)''
-->'''Vex''': Scanlan! Did you kill my bear?!
-->'''Scanlan''': ''(Incoherent squeaking noises, too busy sobbing with laughter to manage a response)''
-->'''Percy''': ''(Also through sobbing laughter)'' Did you perpetrate this ''grizzly'' murder?
** Travis made the unfortunate mistake of taking a sip of this drink just as Sam attempted and failed to answer Vex's question, leading to him having to spit it back into his cup behind the DM screen to avoid a spit take. Witnessing this only brakes Liam even further.
* Vax spends most of the game complaining that he doesn't know how to play and trying to cast spells he doesn't actually know.
* Vax tells the group how he had a weird dream about dying and spending the past three weeks as a dad to some kids he didn't know and driving around in a strange "horseless carriage".
* Grog as "Bunion Master" keeps changing the rules to match how he feels about the playing characters. Scanlan gets away with turning invisible and generally having a... forgiving approach to his own effectiveness, but Vax's high Acrobatics roll to jump over a trap is arbitrarily inadequate, Grog rules his Perception roll resulted in ''"staring at the wall like a nerd,"'' and even standing up to face the same direction as his teammates requires multiple turns and several Dexterity checks.
* Everyone goes up against "perfectly picked" foes: Percy battles a mindflayer (which he utterly destroys), Vax a cambion, Vex a majestic unicorn (by all appearances just to troll Laura), and Scanlan "a fuckin' T. Rex" - a fight that he, for his own reasons, undertakes in the form of a gibbon.
-->'''Taliesin:''' I have been waiting for gibbon versus T. Rex ''my entire life''.
* Grog has made his [[https://twitter.com/GeekandSundry/status/926271311801999362 own]] [[https://twitter.com/JoinTeamAlpha/status/926272139443015680 adorably]] [[https://twitter.com/StarboyAstro/status/926272227640840192 childish]] character art complete with horribly misspelled names for the group (except for Pike, whose name is spelled correctly and even has a little flower drawn over the "i" in her name).
** Eventually, [[https://twitter.com/JoinTeamAlpha/status/926284256451670016 the in-game nametags are changed to match.]]
* Grog's favorite color is 6.
** For added context, Grog is having the other members at the table guess his favorite color to see who "wins" the game. Their guesses, in order:
--> '''Vex''': Red.
--> '''Percy''': Six.
--> '''Scanlan''': Ale.
--> '''Vax''': Titties.
* Percy is skeptical about how easy it is to open the doors in Grog's game and claims it's not realistic.
--> '''Percy''': So nothing happened when we opened the door?
--> '''Grog''': No.
--> '''Percy''': Are you sure you're doing it right?
** Vax then goes on to mention that his bathroom door hits him for at least one point of damage when he uses it. Percy agrees because that is how doors are made.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Trinket's Honey Heist]]
* Waffle's role is the [[TheCracker Hacker]], despite there being nothing ''to'' hack in a fantasy world. Over the course of the session, Taliesin takes the word "hack" as far as he can, at one point even attempting to "hack" a sword with his claws.
* Who are the contestants in the honey competition? The Slayer's Cake (represented by Pike,) Reginald's daughter (whom neither Matt nor Marisha can remember the name of)... and Viktor, who added black powder to his honey.
* The "code" for the door to the honey vault consists of a ticked-off letter and a South Korean singing fish game.
* Liam Las Vegas saying to [[spoiler: Tova]] "From one extremely high bear to another." And everyone just loses it.
* Peddy Tuxpin wresting with a really drunk Grog then speaking "Panda" to him and Grog apparently understood what he said. It ends with the two crying and hugging then Grog falling drunkenly back to sleep.

!!Other Special Episodes
[[folder: Liam's Quest]]
* The concept of the episode is hilarious in itself: Laura, Travis, Taliesin and Sam are playing ''themselves'' as the world falls apart in an apocalyptic time warp.
* Laura spends a solid seven and a half ''consecutive'' minutes at the start of the episode hula-hooping during the pre-show announcements.
* The voice actor SliceOfLife section at the beginning, where Liam mentions that Sam arrives [[RunningGag 10 minutes later than everyone else]], Travis spent the morning [[TheBigGuy working out]], and Taliesin spent it writing.
-->'''Taliesin:''' [[WhatAnIdiot Oh, why would I do that?]]
-->'''Liam:''' Well, 'cause it's Anime and that goes deep with you. Somebody's gotta adapt that shit.
** In the second take of the dialogue they're recording, Sam cuts himself off to say "pickup!" and start his line over ''four times.'' His line is two sentences long.
* The fact that Taliesin, in RealLife, is apparently CrazyPrepared for the apocalypse:
-->'''Taliesin:''' If I can get to my car, I think I have a kit for this...
-->'''Travis:''' That does not surprise me about you one bit.
-->(''later'')
-->'''Taliesin:''' I had six extra arrows in the trunk of my car...
* The RunningGag of Liam trying not to copy Mercer's catchphrases:
-->'''Liam:''' You can certainly...have at it.
-->'''Liam:''' You may indubitably give it your best go.
-->'''Liam:''' In what manner would you like to kill this?
-->'''Liam:''' Is it the day before Friday yet?
* Travis is displeased with his character sheet:[[labelnote:*]] Liam created the character sheets for them, so they receive them in the first hour of the episode as a surprise.[[/labelnote]]
-->'''Travis:''' My intelligence sucks, you [[PrecisionFStrike motherfucker]]!
-->'''Laura:''' Look how strong you are though. You're so strong baby!
* Sam constantly pesters Travis about whether he's getting paid more for their VO jobs. ''After'' the world has already started falling apart.
* Taliesin mourning the fact that he has to burn a few pages of his copy of ''ComicBook/TheWickedAndTheDivine'' to make a torch...added the fact that Liam included the book on his character sheet.
-->'''Taliesin:''' If this is the last copy on earth...I will kill you.
** In the Q&A after the game Talisin was asked what he actually had in his car. The list did in fact include the arrows (borrowed), the book, a frock coat...
* Sam is a ranger. His favoured terrain? [[spoiler: Recording studios]].
* Travis panics at the apocalypse:
-->'''Travis:''' It's ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'', dude. It's all over. I think we should just eat Taliesin and move on.
-->'''Taliesin:''' I think if it's ''The Last of Us'', [[ActorAllusion we need Ashley Johnson]]. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial This is not just about me not wanting to submit to cannibalism.]]
** Taliesin is stung over getting declared the first to be eaten.
-->''(later)'' '''Taliesin:''' I'm still a little upset that we talked about eating me ''before'' the dog.
* Liam's ''spot on'' impression of Ashley Johnson's speech patterns, if not her actual voice.
* Travis refuses to give a piggyback to his wife Laura, but agrees to piggyback Taliesin because he says "please." This receives an amazing CallBack later, when Taliesin is slapping Travis to break him out of a stun state:
-->'''Travis:''' STOP SLAPPING ME!
-->'''Taliesin:''' SAY PLEASE!
* Liam sets up the villain to sound like a super-powered lich Marisha. It's not. [[spoiler: It's Conan O'Brien.]]
* Travis trying to chop [[spoiler: Sam's arm off after he's frozen solid by Conan O'Brien]].
-->'''Travis:''' He was never very good in the cold reads.
** Laura getting upset with him.
-->'''Laura:''' TRAVIS WILLINGHAM! YOU ARE ''NOT'' [[spoiler:KILLING SAM RIEGEL]] RIGHT NOW!
** Taliesin lamenting this turn of events.
-->'''Taliesin:''' It just took Conan O'Brien for us to turn on each other.
* In the impromptu Q&A afterwards, the other players start asking Travis why he [[spoiler:tried to kill Sam]]:
-->'''Travis:''' It said on the bottom of my character sheet, [[spoiler: "Kill Sam"]].
-->'''Everyone else:''' ''(looks at Liam)''
-->'''Liam:''' ''(looks confused)''
-->'''Travis:''' [[{{Troll}} DECEPTION CHECK!]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Liam's Quest: Full Circle]]
* The entire premise of the episode: it's a sequel to Liam's first apocalyptic episode, but due to the time warp, the cast is playing as themselves as children of varying ages, from teenage Marisha to seven-year-old Taliesin (who is [[CreepyChild still a warlock]]). There is character art.
* Laura's first reaction, without missing a ''beat,'' when she and Sam find each other and discover that they're children:
--> '''Laura:''' Your face is smaller, but your teeth are the ''same size!''
* Although in theory they still have their adult minds, Travis apparently reverts to childlike terror and runs from every possible conflict, completely abandoning his friends and wife.
-->'''Travis:''' ''(bawling after seeing something gory)'' I haven't seen an R-rated movie at this point!
** After Laura sees Travis get killed and decides to make a break for it, Travis ''approves''.
* It sadly doesn't last into actual combat, but Teen!Matt picks up Child!Taliesin and attempts to wield him as a weapon.
* Matt's response to rolling a Nat 20 for initiative:
--> '''Matt:''' I just realized that I'm sitting in [[BornLucky Taliesin's]] chair.
** [[{{Irony}} Oddly enough, Taliesin isn't rolling too well later in the night...]]
* After seeing her take damage, Matt casts ''Healing Word'' on Marisha. Laura, having suffered really bad damage earlier, asks if Matt can heal her. Matt claims he's really spent, and Laura gives him a nasty DeathGlare for several seconds.
-->'''Matt:''' [[RunningGag We're all gonna die]].
* Ashley's attempts to intimidate their opponents veer rapidly from teenage rebellion into hilariously horrifying madness, from picking up a dead demon-cat and tying it to her belt, to taking a bite out of said (raw) dead demon-cat, to responding to [[spoiler:Marisha's death]] by ''wearing her ribcage as a hat.''
** Taliesin's reaction to the cat-biting:
--> '''Taliesin''': ''([[FreakyIsCool fondly]])'' We so would've hung out.
* Matt is in perfect form as his {{Adorkable}} teenage bard self. While he doesn't sing, his inspiration lines are just as memorable as Sam's.
--> '''Matt:''' ''(after the above cat-biting incident)'' Ashley! [[PurpleProse Continue to prove your savagery! Chew deep, and revel in the insanity of this day!]]
* The second half of the session opens with another mock-VO session. Sam repeats the "pickup!" gag from Liam's first one-shot and constantly starts his line over to get it right...except this time, his ''entire line'' is a scream of agony.
** During the entire VO session, everyone is still in their child forms, but no one acknowledges it. Even better is that they're playing the crew of a spaceship that's just been damaged in battle.
** Before each take, everyone does a T-pose to set the motion capture. The last time they T-pose, Travis starts playing with Taliesin's ear, leading Taliesin to attempt biting Travis' fingers.
* In the battle in the recording studio, real-life NaughtyDog creative director Neil Druckmann is an NPC...and dies tragically. [[CrossesTheLineTwice Sam leaves his picture and resume on his body.]]
* When Marisha is not sure about one of her class abilities, Matt immediately jumps in, taking the manual, in full DM mode, to help her. Travis [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it yelling "no DM-ing", and Liam replies he's not actually complaining about a little help.
* Liam's Speak & Spell robot voice has the entire cast, but especially Travis, paralyzed with laughter for over a minute when it's first revealed.
** Matt does a commendable job fending off the Corpsing; at one point, he looks at Liam with eyes full of empathy and says:
-->'''Matt:''' Liam, how do you spell 'farmhouse'?
* Ashley's character profile gives her name as [[InSeriesNickname Ash-O-Lee]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Shadow of War One-Shot]]
* Sam's description of a stunning strike is amazing.
-->'''Sam''': Knowing my medical knowledge that I know so well, I hit him where I know it will hurt the most--the wang!
* Laura attempts to make owl noises to distract an orc watchman. After a horrendous performance check, Travis pitches in that he would like to aid her using Minor Illusion in order to make it sound like a two-headed owl.
-->'''Laura:''' Do I get advantage?\\
'''Matt:''' Because you're doing a two-headed owl? [[LittleNo ...No]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Thursday by Night (Part 1)]]
* Travis smashes open Laura's coffin to find her with her face covered in blood.
--> '''Laura:''' ''(immediately)'' I ate a rat, baby!\\
'''Travis:''' You ''ate a rat?'' It wasn't because I just punched through the floor?\\
'''Laura:''' No!\\
'''Travis:''' You could've lied and I wouldn't have known that! Ugh, god.\\
'''Laura:''' I was really hungry. I'm sorry.\\
'''Travis:''' Is there any left?
* Evil people don't pinkie swear. They use their middle fingers. (Marisha and Laura demonstrate.)
* Much like the Conan O'Brien reveal in Liam's one-shot, Taliesin vaguely implies the "Father" everyone's alluding to might be himself as a vampire. It's not. [[spoiler:It's ''vampire Gary Gygax'']].
* Matt feeling compelled to look outside [[spoiler: and immediately turning to dust]]? Horrifying and a little funny in its abruptness. Matt having warned them all about [[spoiler: sunlight]] beforehand? ActuallyPrettyFunny. When it turns out [[spoiler: Gary Gygax turned them all into vampires so they could keep doing Critical Role forever, and he's ''really pissed'' that Matt is gone]]? ''Hilarious''.
** When Sam suggests that Gary Gygax becomes DM, it somehow leads to the most hilarious DoubleEntendre [[https://youtu.be/DTOGH6M6INE?t=3h37m20s in CR's history]].
* After [[spoiler: Matt and Marisha both die]], Liam begins worrying about what to do the present he bought them for their wedding: tickets to ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}''. This causes a bunch of the people in the room to stand up and ''try to attack them over it'', shocking Liam.
* Sam brings Liam a person to snack on.
-->'''Liam:''' You ''do'' love me!
* Taliesin's DM description takes a turn for the Lemony Snicket early on with the line: "Something is wrong... including the sign on the wall written in blood that says 'Something is wrong'."
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Thursday by Night (Part 2)]]
* The gang meet an underground society of lizard people living under L.A. One of them is a Critical Role fan. Apparently they get excellent internet service underground.
* In the Hollywood graveyard, Liam attacks and completely drains some poor guy in a porta-potty. Only afterwards does he look and see that it's [[spoiler: Creator/WillFriedle]]. Liam is completely unapologetic. He then ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice stuffs the body into the porta-potty cistern]]''.
** It would seem Will Friedle is [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible totally stoppable]].
** The group debates whether it's possible for someone to be shoved down the cistern. Taliesin reassures them with a big grin he knows for a fact it is.
* Travis needs to distract the bouncer at a vampire club so Laura can sneak up to the VIP room. He does this by ''breaking his finger'' while staring directly at the guy.
** Sam, claiming he's watched a lot of ''TrueBlood'', tries to heal Travis' hand by biting it, but bites too hard and [[FinGore bites the finger clean off]]. Then he tries to smear his own blood on it, which ''also'' doesn't work. At that point the bouncer pushes them upstairs because this is too weird for him to deal with.
* All of the players have an intelligence of four (out of a possible five), except for Sam who has an intelligence of three. Sam does not react well to this revelation.
* It turns out nearly all the GeekAndSundry showrunners and regulars (that weren't seen in Part 1, anyway) are vampires. The group is surprised by most of the reveals, but everyone agrees [[PerkyGoth Satine Phoenix]] was obvious in hindsight.
* They never found Taliesin again in the game. GM Taliesin says his in-game self is currently in a cage because he has "done a bad thing."
** Later revisited on Talks Machina a couple weeks later: Vamp!Taliesin was in a cage because a) he was responsible for a lot of the mess that was once the LDN offices, and b) he went on a killing spree as soon as he got out. (The only reason they didn't just kill him was because they needed information on what all had gone wrong)

* Amy Vorpal's Queen of Hearts is a laugh a minute. Oh, and she's a Barbarian.
* Yuri Lowenthal's (Mad) Hatter attacks the chocolate bar when his first target dies.

!!In-Universe Special Episodes
[[folder:Critical Rejects (Part 1)]]
* While describing Snugglelord's background, Zac states that his power comes from the Overlord of Geek and Sundry. Matt [[DeadpanSnarker deadpans]] that that would make it an infernal pact.
* Pretty much the entire episode, but Overlord Zac's intro hints at what the viewers were in for.
-->'''Zac:''' [[IncomingHam I AM THE SNUGGLELORD! THERE HAVE BEEN NONE BEFORE ME AND THERE WILL BE NONE AFTER, I AM THE SNUGGLELORD!]]
-->'''Matt:''' It has been decreed, here and now.
** During this, [[CutenessProximity Erika is glomping Zac adorably.]]
* Matt is showing how you could help players immerse themselves by putting them on the spot and does it to Liam who replies with a sort of whiny cartoony voice that sells it.
* At the end of the one-off adventure Matt improvises, one of the group offers a female Halfling NPC to join their group. Matt immediately tells them to make a persuasion check... [[OverprotectiveDad against her father.]]
** Having failed at this, Salty Pete then asks if instead they can have the old crone with the tiny violin. The crone is extremely excited that anyone even noticed her, and joins the group at the end of the session.
* Liam cut the twins' birthday cake with his dagger, prompting comments of it being a Sneak Attack.
[[/folder]]
[[folder:Critical Rejects (Part 2)]]
* Like the first part of this instalment in episode 12, far too many moments to count. The main gimmick of the chat suggesting what happened next at any moment provided the majority of them.
* Matt's slow descent into madness over the course of the session, as a result of said gimmick. Particularly his "oh god ''no''" reaction to [[spoiler: Salty Pete getting a Deck of Many Things.]]
* One chat-mandated moment needs special mention though: Salty Pete looks at his hand to find his lost fingers are back. [[spoiler: When he tries to touch them, [[YankTheDogsChain they vanish]], and he hears the laughter of the Pit Fiend hunting him (due to the Deck of Many Things) in the distance.]] The monotone text-to-speech voice that reads the chat messages makes it even funnier.
* The [[spoiler: GenderFlip curse everyone is hit by]] even extends to Ulfgar's ''[[ICallItVera swords]]'', as [[spoiler: "Linda" and "Regina" become "Larry" and "Robert".]]
* Marisha revealing during the WhereAreTheyNowEpilogue that Edna [[spoiler:was the old lady that got murdered at the hands of Tiberius in episode 25]].
* An accidental one. Right after [[spoiler: Matt describes Ulfgar's [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome killing blow against the Gibbering Mouther]],]] there is a long silence before Dan's phone goes off. What is his ringtone? [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Tt04ZSlbZ0 The MLG airhorn]].

[[folder: Battle Royale I]]
* Mittens, the cat of divine destruction. Sending goliaths, tieflings, and air ashari to a graveyard near you.
* Matt's disappointment that his freaky pit of skeleton hands sees absolutely no action during the fight. Despite the fact that the pit is quite sizeable and in the center of the battlefield.
* Keyleth rising about seventy feet into the air as a flying eagle, only to fall back to the earth like a sack of dirty laundry when Zahra very calmly and professionally hits Keyleth with a spell bolt, about three seconds later.
* The lengths that Zahra and Kashaw go to take Grog out of the fight, from attempting to blind him, bind him, freeze him, dazzle him, and simply banish him, only for them all to fail spectacularly.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: The Goblins: A Pathfinder One-Shot]]
* The entire premise of Matt Mercer running a Pathfinder Oneshot with Critical Role regulars Marisha (Snizzler, alchemist) and Taliesin (Mezek, monk) along with guest players Phil Lamarr (Browntooth, rogue), Ivan Van Norman (Grizznak, sorcerer), and Ashly Burch (Piglet, barbarian) playing ChaoticStupid goblins. Matt could barely hold it together as the party got into their roles.
* All of the players have special Goblin Songs they've composed for themselves that allow them to reroll, provided they sing the song on the stream. All of them get to sing their songs, which are amazing. [[spoiler:With the exception of Taliesin, ''none'' of their rolls improve, which is hilarious.]] Ashly's is to the tune of "Kiss From A Rose". Marisha's is about how much she loves blowing things up and ends with her greeting Homeland Security.
* Grizznak and Snizzler both blow their Survival checks and lead the party, respectively, into a bramble thicket and ''deeper'' into the bramble thicket towards a tree that promptly gets struck by lightning. It's Mezek who leads them out despite (because of?) his perpetual state of drunkenness.
* Taliesin decides to play in the mud. Ivan decides to start kicking mud in his face. The soundtrack picks a beautiful moment.
--> '''Grizznak:''' What you gonna do about it, Mezek? What you gonna do about it?
--> '''Mezek:''' Wait 'til you're asleep. ''(ominous crack of thunder)''
* At Snizzler's suggestion, they collectively pass a Stealth check by pretending to be garden gnomes. The guards passing by, unaware that they're goblins, make fun of them and call them "stupid gnomes," which the party takes pretty personally.
-->'''Everyone:''' ''(grumpy muttering)''
-->'''Mezek:''' Two arms, two legs, one head. We'll find him again.
-->'''Everyone:''' ''(enthusiasm)''
* The goblins, using a tree branch, try to build a boat. They end up with something rather more like (as Matt describes it) a [[InherentlyFunnyWords pool noodle]].
* Snizzler manages to roll a ''negative one'' on a swim check, which turns into Snizzler trying to get away from the water by stepping on everyone else's heads.
** And once Snizzler gets across the river, he throws up, and Mezek and Grizznak Ro-sham-bo for the vomit. Mezek wins, and later uses the vomit as a makeshift oil slick.
* Sneaking into the grate produces this wonderful exchange, which puts Taliesin into hysterics:
-->'''Browntooth:''' Sometimes it pays to be ''quiet.''
-->'''Piglet:''' I think we've all learned a valuable lesson here today.
-->'''Browntooth:''' Now who wants to smash the grate?
-->'''Piglet:''' (''screaming'') '''''ME!'''''
* The goblins spot a shiny thing and promptly fight over it. Piglet wins what turns out to be a human ribcage.
-->'''Matt:''' You smell it. Marrow hasn't been tapped yet.
-->'''Piglet:''' Can I eat it?
-->'''Matt:''' You can.
-->'''Piglet:''' I eat it.
* Mezek makes an attack.
-->'''Mezek:''' I have Stunning Fist.
-->'''Browntooth:''' And lovely eyes.
-->'''Mezek:''' One of them's mine!
* Piglet, while raging, takes a bite out of a Gelatinous Cube, and assures Snizzler that it's delicious as the acid is dissolving her face.
* Taliesin wants to invent a cocktail based on the Gelatinous Cube called the "Numb Yum."
* Snizzler stuffs a lit, fiery bomb into the Cube right next to Grizznak, who's been absorbed and paralysed by the Cube, and gives him a cheery thumbs-up before it explodes. Ivan mentions that he's screaming internally.
* Browntooth is ''good'' at stealth.
-->'''Matt:''' I need you all to roll stealth checks.
-->'''Phil:''' 40.
-->'''Matt:''' You vanish from time and space!
* Snizzler shrinks himself so that the other can throw him to the other side of a gap, but ''before'' they do that, they make fun of him for being tiny and Grizznak starts playing with him like a doll. Marisha's sounds of goblin-y outrage are fantastic.
-->'''Matt:''' You immediately regret this decision.
* Taliesin bequeathing his "Golden Snitch" die to Ashly, due to her rolling a natural 20.
-->'''Taliesin:''' Golden Snitch man, don't fuck with the Golden Snitch.
** Almost seconds afterwards, Marisha (who is at times the anti-Taliesin when it comes to rolls) needed to roll an acrobatic roll to save herself, with everyone hoping her Snitch would work the same way. It didn't.
-->'''Taliesin:''' I was about to say, "that Golden Snitch never rolls well, though..." ''(everyone breaks into laughter)''
** Marisha continues to make mediocre rolls to save herself, causing the party to laugh even more at her bad luck.
* Piglet screaming "I WANNA RAGE!" in a squeaky voice. Grog would be proud.
* The five-goblin TotemPoleTrench, which is surprisingly successful... for a while.
* Mezek steals a pouch from a drunk man. It turns out to contain 8 gold pieces and a snuffbox.
-->'''Mezek:''' Ooh! I eat all the snuff.
* Grizznak literally [[spoiler: sneezing himself into unconsciousness]].
* The final battle, which veers straight into BlackComedy as Mezek and Piglet [[spoiler: [[OffWithHisHead decapitate]] no less than three of the enemy [=PCs=] ''with blunt instruments'']].
* Snizzler's last act before they leave the city is to [[spoiler: throw a bomb at the church and burn it to the ground]]. Taliesin is ''so'' proud.
* At the very end, Matt reveals that the goblins faced off against and viciously slaughtered [[spoiler:''the main protagonists of the Pathfinder comics, Paizo's Iconic [=PCs=], in their canonical first adventure'']]. Marisha is delighted by the idea that somewhere in spacetime is a group of players demoralised because they got a party-wipe at level 2.
-->'''Taliesin:''' Hey, guys, congratulations: we are the [[{{Series/Community}} darkest]] [[AlternateTimeline timeline]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Battle Royale II]]
* The battle royale's organizer is revealed to be... The Beyonder?
* Keyleth's anguished declaration of love to Vax after she ruthlessly kicks his barely alive body into a lava pit.
** As Vax sinks to his fiery death in the lava he raises his hand above the lava's surface and gives her the middle finger.
* Vax sics his poisonous snake belt, Simon, on Keyleth in what should be a tense scene where Keyleth is trapped in an enclosed space with a lethal creature, only for Keyleth to totally misinterpret the vibes going on and courteously talk to the snake.
-->'''Keyleth:''' Hello, Simon!
* The Beyonder accidentally forgetting to restore the losers to full health after the battle.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: The Screw Job]]
* Sam's character, Obby the Rat, is a fountain of hilarity:
** For starters, his accent is ridiculous.
-->'''Sam/Obby:''' Obby the Rat is now realizing he must maintain accent for 3 hours. With limited accent capabilities.
** His response to Dren's haikus
-->'''Obby:''' I'm Obby the Rat/Know why they call me that?/Cause I hate haiku.
** Related to the above:
-->'''Dren:''' Do you guys wanna hear a haiku I wrote?
-->'''Tarvis:''' A haiku?
-->'''Delweth:''' What the fuck is a haiku?
-->'''Obby:''' It is a 7-5-7 meter poem.
-->'''Dren:''' Well, 5-7-5.
-->'''Obby:''' Not where I'm from.
** He attempts to use the blood sigils keyed to the Bluebottom bloodline, claiming he could be related as he has "a vast lineage."
** When Devan finds a secret door, invalidating the need for the risky climbing Obby just did, Tarvis makes her hug the dwarf. While he is covered in pee.
-->'''Obby:''' ''(spreads arms)'' It's okay, I am frequently used as punishment for everything.
** His many reasons for why he is called Obby the Rat, including the aforementioned "I hate haiku" moment. They range from the expected: "Because I am small like rat"; to the absurd: "Because I hate art"; to the weird, but mundane: "Because Obby is actually short for Obenthal, it's a nickname".
* Obby and Dren go to investigate the library. Obby rolls high for an investigation check on the bookshelves and finds amidst the books on history and magic... an erotic novel. He gives it to Dren. Which leads to this moment when the group meet up again.
-->'''Obby:''' We found...
-->'''Dren:''' [cutting him off] Nothing! There was nothing!
* Liam describes The Shrew's magic room as "Taliesin Jaffe's wet dream".
* Devan triggers a trap and is teleported inside a glass tank of water full of toxic fish. In a tense moment, the party rushes in to save her, hammering the glass tank with everything they have. Devan spends her rounds trying, but failing, to break her bound hands free ([[NiceJobBreakingItHero the rest of the party bound her hands earlier]]). For several rounds this goes on and the tank still holds, it seems like Devan is doomed... and then [[RememberedICouldFly Laura remembers she has Misty Step and can just bamf out of the tank]], rendering all that effort for nothing.
* Delweth's explaining how she punishes betrayal by flaying and wearing the skin of the traitor. She goes into great detail how she could wear Devan's skin as a hat but wishes there was enough so she could make a skirt.
* The RunningGag of Obby's name being said wrong to the point that Delweth says Obby should kill Dren just for getting it wrong the most.
* Travis' character is just named Tarvis. Lampshaded by Liam in his narrated intro: "Yes, that's the name Travis went with." He later explains that Travis spent ''weeks'' putting off naming the character before finally choosing.
** Tarvis is built up in the intro as this amazing assassin who The Clasp expects great things from. Travis then proceeds to roll low for pretty much the entire session.
** He ties Wil Wheaton's Thorbir for the most Natural 1s rolled in a single session (6). He gets progressively more upset with each one.
* Tarvis and the others yell at Dren for betraying The Clasp. Dren retorts that she never wanted to be an assassin, she wanted to be a poet.
* Liam ends up having his own version of the Vax/Vex problem: Three of his players have names that begin with "D", and he keeps confusing them.
* Liam describes a dead rat being smeared by a door. Travis and Mary simultaneously turn to Sam and say "Obby, your cousin."
-->'''Obby:''' Not related.
-->'''Dren:''' I thought you said you had a vast lineage?
-->'''Obby:''' That one I knew particularly.
* Dren and her haikus are adorably funny.
** Speaking of Dren, her complete inability to hide how much she cares about Devan borders on MostDefinitelyNotAVillain territory.
*** One of her attempts involves loudly proclaiming they should use Devan as a human shield against a trap.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Battle Royale III]]
* The sheer schadenfreude of Taliesin Jaffe, God of Dice, rolling multiple nat 1s and 2s and getting eliminated first of the [=PCs=].
* Vex traps Grog in the necklace, so he ''attacks the interior of the necklace'' - and breaks out.
* Everyone's faces when they realize it's down to Tary and Grog.
* With 1 hitpoint left, Grog decides to draw from the Deck of Many Things - ''five times''. To everyone's increasing bewilderment (Travis included), not only does he ''avoid'' being horribly cursed, but he gets a nifty weapon, a knight companion to help him fight and extra hitpoints.
** One of the cards he draws is Rogue (turns an ally against you), and Matt describes the hypothetical scenario of Grog returning from the battle to be backstabbed by Uncle Wilhand.
* Tary's plan for the battle? Use the Force Sphere made to imprison enemies on ''himself'', suffering 5d4 of damage, and have Doty carry him around while the others kill each other. He doesn't even get his next turn before the sphere is taken from Doty and thrown around like a rubber ball. [[spoiler: The fact that it ''actually worked'' might make it even funnier.]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Bar Room Blitz!]]
* Sam as DM is always ramping up the humor.
** Notably, he put double-digit [=NPCs=] in his first map ever as DM. Not a smart move, but oh so funny.
** The bar's name: Ass Sailor. The "C" and "R" fell off because this isn't Critical Role.
* Kingston's attraction to Clothesline leads to...unfortunate moments
-->'''Kingston:''' I'm not saying I have a type, but my preferred terrain is a litter box.
** Kingston also provokes the first attack roll by hitting on Clothesline
-->'''Clothesline:''' You are this close from a claw in your goddamn eye Kingston. So choose the next few words carefully!
-->'''Kingston:''' Catnip and chill?
-->'''Ashly:''' Can I attack Kingston?
* Frankfurt demanding his [[OnePhoneCall "one courier pigeon"]] and demanding to speak with his lawyer.
* Mary has the best way of saying "kitty kitty kitty".
** Mary switches from a posh speaking lady to a uncouth person from Joisey whenever Gryffin has a Wild Magic surge.
* Brian doesn't care as long as he can hit Frankfurt - and Frankfurt's dice are blessed, making all the bard's spells miss.
* The ''moment'' Liam brags about not having taken any damage the entire fight, Ashly scores two critical hits on Jayne. Liam's reaction to the second nat 20 is what sells it:
-->'''Liam:''' WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT? GET OUT OF THIS BUILDING, GET OUT OF THIS BUILDING.
* Kingston hates Frankfurt because he slept with his wife. Clothesline hates Jayne because she's crazy, dangerous and almost killed her. Frankfurt hates Jayne because [[spoiler: she is a follower of the Chained Oblivion, and that cult wiped out Frankfurt's village, leading to him swearing an oath of revenge]]. When they reach the boss fight, they basically spent a lot of their resources and took heavy damage fighting themselves, and keep doing it and only Gryffin is actually fighting the boss. Sam lampshades it.
* Kingston and Gryffin talking about Kingston's book. One of the most notables is [[RunningGag Doors:]] [[TakeThat The Idiot's Enemy]].
* Upon hearing how many dice worth of damage she is about to receive, [[https://clips.twitch.tv/PluckySaltyAdminNotLikeThis Ashly starts singing "Amazing Grace."]] Mary immediately joins in for the harmonies, and impressively keeps up even when Ashly improvises the lyrics:
--> '''Both:''' I have three / hit points / Just three / hit points / I am / about / to dieeee...
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Bunions and Flagons]]
* A game run by Travis playing as Grog running a game of "Bunions and Flagons" for Vex, Vax, Percy, and Scanlan. Grog is the "Bunion Master".
* The first map that appears during the game is a literal cock and balls, and the second is a pair of breasts that the group initially perceives as an egg.
* Scanlan's [[BadBadActing character voice]] for when he's speaking as in-game Scanlan.
* At one point Travis speaks as Grog speaking as Trinket, which causes everyone at the table [[{{Corpsing}} to fall into fits of laughter]]. Sam in particular is laughing so hard he can't physically speak for about 30 seconds.
** As is so often the case, context here makes it even better. Scanlan engages in a bit of wish fulfillment and poisons Trinket with a meatball, causing the bear to take significant damage and nearly die. Vex heals the bear and casts Speak With Animals to figure out what happened.
-->'''Vex''': I go 'Trinket, what happened?!'
-->'''Trinket''': I had the worst stomachache! I dunno, I ate that meatball from Scanlan and I fuckin' ''died''.
-->''(A pause as everyone frantically struggles to remain in-character, with varying degrees of success.)''
-->'''Trinket''': I don't wanna make any ''assumptions...''
-->''(Everyone breaks spectacularly)''
-->'''Vex''': Scanlan! Did you kill my bear?!
-->'''Scanlan''': ''(Incoherent squeaking noises, too busy sobbing with laughter to manage a response)''
-->'''Percy''': ''(Also through sobbing laughter)'' Did you perpetrate this ''grizzly'' murder?
** Travis made the unfortunate mistake of taking a sip of this drink just as Sam attempted and failed to answer Vex's question, leading to him having to spit it back into his cup behind the DM screen to avoid a spit take. Witnessing this only brakes Liam even further.
* Vax spends most of the game complaining that he doesn't know how to play and trying to cast spells he doesn't actually know.
* Vax tells the group how he had a weird dream about dying and spending the past three weeks as a dad to some kids he didn't know and driving around in a strange "horseless carriage".
* Grog as "Bunion Master" keeps changing the rules to match how he feels about the playing characters. Scanlan gets away with turning invisible and generally having a... forgiving approach to his own effectiveness, but Vax's high Acrobatics roll to jump over a trap is arbitrarily inadequate, Grog rules his Perception roll resulted in ''"staring at the wall like a nerd,"'' and even standing up to face the same direction as his teammates requires multiple turns and several Dexterity checks.
* Everyone goes up against "perfectly picked" foes: Percy battles a mindflayer (which he utterly destroys), Vax a cambion, Vex a majestic unicorn (by all appearances just to troll Laura), and Scanlan "a fuckin' T. Rex" - a fight that he, for his own reasons, undertakes in the form of a gibbon.
-->'''Taliesin:''' I have been waiting for gibbon versus T. Rex ''my entire life''.
* Grog has made his [[https://twitter.com/GeekandSundry/status/926271311801999362 own]] [[https://twitter.com/JoinTeamAlpha/status/926272139443015680 adorably]] [[https://twitter.com/StarboyAstro/status/926272227640840192 childish]] character art complete with horribly misspelled names for the group (except for Pike, whose name is spelled correctly and even has a little flower drawn over the "i" in her name).
** Eventually, [[https://twitter.com/JoinTeamAlpha/status/926284256451670016 the in-game nametags are changed to match.]]
* Grog's favorite color is 6.
** For added context, Grog is having the other members at the table guess his favorite color to see who "wins" the game. Their guesses, in order:
--> '''Vex''': Red.
--> '''Percy''': Six.
--> '''Scanlan''': Ale.
--> '''Vax''': Titties.
* Percy is skeptical about how easy it is to open the doors in Grog's game and claims it's not realistic.
--> '''Percy''': So nothing happened when we opened the door?
--> '''Grog''': No.
--> '''Percy''': Are you sure you're doing it right?
** Vax then goes on to mention that his bathroom door hits him for at least one point of damage when he uses it. Percy agrees because that is how doors are made.
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Trinket's Honey Heist]]
* Waffle's role is the [[TheCracker Hacker]], despite there being nothing ''to'' hack in a fantasy world. Over the course of the session, Taliesin takes the word "hack" as far as he can, at one point even attempting to "hack" a sword with his claws.
* Who are the contestants in the honey competition? The Slayer's Cake (represented by Pike,) Reginald's daughter (whom neither Matt nor Marisha can remember the name of)... and Viktor, who added black powder to his honey.
* The "code" for the door to the honey vault consists of a ticked-off letter and a South Korean singing fish game.
* Liam Las Vegas saying to [[spoiler: Tova]] "From one extremely high bear to another." And everyone just loses it.
* Peddy Tuxpin wresting with a really drunk Grog then speaking "Panda" to him and Grog apparently understood what he said. It ends with the two crying and hugging then Grog falling drunkenly back to sleep.

!!Other Special Episodes
[[folder: Liam's Quest]]
* The concept of the episode is hilarious in itself: Laura, Travis, Taliesin and Sam are playing ''themselves'' as the world falls apart in an apocalyptic time warp.
* Laura spends a solid seven and a half ''consecutive'' minutes at the start of the episode hula-hooping during the pre-show announcements.
* The voice actor SliceOfLife section at the beginning, where Liam mentions that Sam arrives [[RunningGag 10 minutes later than everyone else]], Travis spent the morning [[TheBigGuy working out]], and Taliesin spent it writing.
-->'''Taliesin:''' [[WhatAnIdiot Oh, why would I do that?]]
-->'''Liam:''' Well, 'cause it's Anime and that goes deep with you. Somebody's gotta adapt that shit.
** In the second take of the dialogue they're recording, Sam cuts himself off to say "pickup!" and start his line over ''four times.'' His line is two sentences long.
* The fact that Taliesin, in RealLife, is apparently CrazyPrepared for the apocalypse:
-->'''Taliesin:''' If I can get to my car, I think I have a kit for this...
-->'''Travis:''' That does not surprise me about you one bit.
-->(''later'')
-->'''Taliesin:''' I had six extra arrows in the trunk of my car...
* The RunningGag of Liam trying not to copy Mercer's catchphrases:
-->'''Liam:''' You can certainly...have at it.
-->'''Liam:''' You may indubitably give it your best go.
-->'''Liam:''' In what manner would you like to kill this?
-->'''Liam:''' Is it the day before Friday yet?
* Travis is displeased with his character sheet:[[labelnote:*]] Liam created the character sheets for them, so they receive them in the first hour of the episode as a surprise.[[/labelnote]]
-->'''Travis:''' My intelligence sucks, you [[PrecisionFStrike motherfucker]]!
-->'''Laura:''' Look how strong you are though. You're so strong baby!
* Sam constantly pesters Travis about whether he's getting paid more for their VO jobs. ''After'' the world has already started falling apart.
* Taliesin mourning the fact that he has to burn a few pages of his copy of ''ComicBook/TheWickedAndTheDivine'' to make a torch...added the fact that Liam included the book on his character sheet.
-->'''Taliesin:''' If this is the last copy on earth...I will kill you.
** In the Q&A after the game Talisin was asked what he actually had in his car. The list did in fact include the arrows (borrowed), the book, a frock coat...
* Sam is a ranger. His favoured terrain? [[spoiler: Recording studios]].
* Travis panics at the apocalypse:
-->'''Travis:''' It's ''VideoGame/TheLastOfUs'', dude. It's all over. I think we should just eat Taliesin and move on.
-->'''Taliesin:''' I think if it's ''The Last of Us'', [[ActorAllusion we need Ashley Johnson]]. [[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial This is not just about me not wanting to submit to cannibalism.]]
** Taliesin is stung over getting declared the first to be eaten.
-->''(later)'' '''Taliesin:''' I'm still a little upset that we talked about eating me ''before'' the dog.
* Liam's ''spot on'' impression of Ashley Johnson's speech patterns, if not her actual voice.
* Travis refuses to give a piggyback to his wife Laura, but agrees to piggyback Taliesin because he says "please." This receives an amazing CallBack later, when Taliesin is slapping Travis to break him out of a stun state:
-->'''Travis:''' STOP SLAPPING ME!
-->'''Taliesin:''' SAY PLEASE!
* Liam sets up the villain to sound like a super-powered lich Marisha. It's not. [[spoiler: It's Conan O'Brien.]]
* Travis trying to chop [[spoiler: Sam's arm off after he's frozen solid by Conan O'Brien]].
-->'''Travis:''' He was never very good in the cold reads.
** Laura getting upset with him.
-->'''Laura:''' TRAVIS WILLINGHAM! YOU ARE ''NOT'' [[spoiler:KILLING SAM RIEGEL]] RIGHT NOW!
** Taliesin lamenting this turn of events.
-->'''Taliesin:''' It just took Conan O'Brien for us to turn on each other.
* In the impromptu Q&A afterwards, the other players start asking Travis why he [[spoiler:tried to kill Sam]]:
-->'''Travis:''' It said on the bottom of my character sheet, [[spoiler: "Kill Sam"]].
-->'''Everyone else:''' ''(looks at Liam)''
-->'''Liam:''' ''(looks confused)''
-->'''Travis:''' [[{{Troll}} DECEPTION CHECK!]]
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Liam's Quest: Full Circle]]
* The entire premise of the episode: it's a sequel to Liam's first apocalyptic episode, but due to the time warp, the cast is playing as themselves as children of varying ages, from teenage Marisha to seven-year-old Taliesin (who is [[CreepyChild still a warlock]]). There is character art.
* Laura's first reaction, without missing a ''beat,'' when she and Sam find each other and discover that they're children:
--> '''Laura:''' Your face is smaller, but your teeth are the ''same size!''
* Although in theory they still have their adult minds, Travis apparently reverts to childlike terror and runs from every possible conflict, completely abandoning his friends and wife.
-->'''Travis:''' ''(bawling after seeing something gory)'' I haven't seen an R-rated movie at this point!
** After Laura sees Travis get killed and decides to make a break for it, Travis ''approves''.
* It sadly doesn't last into actual combat, but Teen!Matt picks up Child!Taliesin and attempts to wield him as a weapon.
* Matt's response to rolling a Nat 20 for initiative:
--> '''Matt:''' I just realized that I'm sitting in [[BornLucky Taliesin's]] chair.
** [[{{Irony}} Oddly enough, Taliesin isn't rolling too well later in the night...]]
* After seeing her take damage, Matt casts ''Healing Word'' on Marisha. Laura, having suffered really bad damage earlier, asks if Matt can heal her. Matt claims he's really spent, and Laura gives him a nasty DeathGlare for several seconds.
-->'''Matt:''' [[RunningGag We're all gonna die]].
* Ashley's attempts to intimidate their opponents veer rapidly from teenage rebellion into hilariously horrifying madness, from picking up a dead demon-cat and tying it to her belt, to taking a bite out of said (raw) dead demon-cat, to responding to [[spoiler:Marisha's death]] by ''wearing her ribcage as a hat.''
** Taliesin's reaction to the cat-biting:
--> '''Taliesin''': ''([[FreakyIsCool fondly]])'' We so would've hung out.
* Matt is in perfect form as his {{Adorkable}} teenage bard self. While he doesn't sing, his inspiration lines are just as memorable as Sam's.
--> '''Matt:''' ''(after the above cat-biting incident)'' Ashley! [[PurpleProse Continue to prove your savagery! Chew deep, and revel in the insanity of this day!]]
* The second half of the session opens with another mock-VO session. Sam repeats the "pickup!" gag from Liam's first one-shot and constantly starts his line over to get it right...except this time, his ''entire line'' is a scream of agony.
** During the entire VO session, everyone is still in their child forms, but no one acknowledges it. Even better is that they're playing the crew of a spaceship that's just been damaged in battle.
** Before each take, everyone does a T-pose to set the motion capture. The last time they T-pose, Travis starts playing with Taliesin's ear, leading Taliesin to attempt biting Travis' fingers.
* In the battle in the recording studio, real-life NaughtyDog creative director Neil Druckmann is an NPC...and dies tragically. [[CrossesTheLineTwice Sam leaves his picture and resume on his body.]]
* When Marisha is not sure about one of her class abilities, Matt immediately jumps in, taking the manual, in full DM mode, to help her. Travis [[LampshadeHanging lampshades]] it yelling "no DM-ing", and Liam replies he's not actually complaining about a little help.
* Liam's Speak & Spell robot voice has the entire cast, but especially Travis, paralyzed with laughter for over a minute when it's first revealed.
** Matt does a commendable job fending off the Corpsing; at one point, he looks at Liam with eyes full of empathy and says:
-->'''Matt:''' Liam, how do you spell 'farmhouse'?
* Ashley's character profile gives her name as [[InSeriesNickname Ash-O-Lee]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Shadow of War One-Shot]]
* Sam's description of a stunning strike is amazing.
-->'''Sam''': Knowing my medical knowledge that I know so well, I hit him where I know it will hurt the most--the wang!
* Laura attempts to make owl noises to distract an orc watchman. After a horrendous performance check, Travis pitches in that he would like to aid her using Minor Illusion in order to make it sound like a two-headed owl.
-->'''Laura:''' Do I get advantage?\\
'''Matt:''' Because you're doing a two-headed owl? [[LittleNo ...No]].
[[/folder]]
[[folder: Thursday by Night (Part 1)]]
* Travis smashes open Laura's coffin to find her with her face covered in blood.
--> '''Laura:''' ''(immediately)'' I ate a rat, baby!\\
'''Travis:''' You ''ate a rat?'' It wasn't because I just punched through the floor?\\
'''Laura:''' No!\\
'''Travis:''' You could've lied and I wouldn't have known that! Ugh, god.\\
'''Laura:''' I was really hungry. I'm sorry.\\
'''Travis:''' Is there any left?
* Evil people don't pinkie swear. They use their middle fingers. (Marisha and Laura demonstrate.)
* Much like the Conan O'Brien reveal in Liam's one-shot, Taliesin vaguely implies the "Father" everyone's alluding to might be himself as a vampire. It's not. [[spoiler:It's ''vampire Gary Gygax'']].
* Matt feeling compelled to look outside [[spoiler: and immediately turning to dust]]? Horrifying and a little funny in its abruptness. Matt having warned them all about [[spoiler: sunlight]] beforehand? ActuallyPrettyFunny. When it turns out [[spoiler: Gary Gygax turned them all into vampires so they could keep doing Critical Role forever, and he's ''really pissed'' that Matt is gone]]? ''Hilarious''.
** When Sam suggests that Gary Gygax becomes DM, it somehow leads to the most hilarious DoubleEntendre [[https://youtu.be/DTOGH6M6INE?t=3h37m20s in CR's history]].
* After [[spoiler: Matt and Marisha both die]], Liam begins worrying about what to do the present he bought them for their wedding: tickets to ''Theatre/{{Hamilton}}''. This causes a bunch of the people in the room to stand up and ''try to attack them over it'', shocking Liam.
* Sam brings Liam a person to snack on.
-->'''Liam:''' You ''do'' love me!
* Taliesin's DM description takes a turn for the Lemony Snicket early on with the line: "Something is wrong... including the sign on the wall written in blood that says 'Something is wrong'."

[[folder: Thursday by Night (Part 2)]]
* The gang meet an underground society of lizard people living under L.A. One of them is a Critical Role fan. Apparently they get excellent internet service underground.
* In the Hollywood graveyard, Liam attacks and completely drains some poor guy in a porta-potty. Only afterwards does he look and see that it's [[spoiler: Creator/WillFriedle]]. Liam is completely unapologetic. He then ''[[CrossesTheLineTwice stuffs the body into the porta-potty cistern]]''.
** It would seem Will Friedle is [[WesternAnimation/KimPossible totally stoppable]].
** The group debates whether it's possible for someone to be shoved down the cistern. Taliesin reassures them with a big grin he knows for a fact it is.
* Travis needs to distract the bouncer at a vampire club so Laura can sneak up to the VIP room. He does this by ''breaking his finger'' while staring directly at the guy.
** Sam, claiming he's watched a lot of ''TrueBlood'', tries to heal Travis' hand by biting it, but bites too hard and [[FinGore bites the finger clean off]]. Then he tries to smear his own blood on it, which ''also'' doesn't work. At that point the bouncer pushes them upstairs because this is too weird for him to deal with.
* All of the players have an intelligence of four (out of a possible five), except for Sam who has an intelligence of three. Sam does not react well to this revelation.
* It turns out nearly all the GeekAndSundry showrunners and regulars (that weren't seen in Part 1, anyway) are vampires. The group is surprised by most of the reveals, but everyone agrees [[PerkyGoth Satine Phoenix]] was obvious in hindsight.
* They never found Taliesin again in the game. GM Taliesin says his in-game self is currently in a cage because he has "done a bad thing."
** Later revisited on Talks Machina a couple weeks later: Vamp!Taliesin was in a cage because a) he was responsible for a lot of the mess that was once the LDN offices, and b) he went on a killing spree as soon as he got out. (The only reason they didn't just kill him was because they needed information on what all had gone wrong)

* Amy Vorpal's Queen of Hearts is a laugh a minute. Oh, and she's a Barbarian.
* Yuri Lowenthal's (Mad) Hatter attacks the chocolate bar when his first target dies.
* Noelle Stevenson makes the evening's best pun by saying that her Peter Pan is "Pan"-sexual.
* The Scarecrow sees Hansel's head get blown off, so he immediately tries a pickup line on Gretel.
