The fact that Sam asked Liam what the shittiest class and race was before their first session, then said hold my beer and proceeded to be arguably the most crucial character in the party and easily the character with the most progression and personal growth in my opinion. Amazing.

The bard class was created for Sam Riegel. They didn’t know it at the time, but it was destiny. Sam is the chosen one.

Can we get some appreciation for Taliesin, who literally recognizes every song instantly and joins in as either bass or lower harmony??? Like wow whattaguy

"I'm a hitter, I'm a winner, I'm a bedroom shitter" is never not gonna absolutely kill me

1 hour of joke songs and only like 3 repeats. Sam is a fucking legend! No better singing bard before or after him for sure!

At 19:09 listening to Taliesens “come on a rampage with me” under Sam’s higher version has me dying of laughter. I love how he just improves Sam’s performances as the perfect back up singer. It’s the best.

The icon of Sam as Scanlan is such that none of the rest of party even touched Bard in the main campaign. Even when Marisha played Bard, she prepared in advance, but even she wasn't that spontaneous.

I love how Taliesin knows all of his songs and joins in lol.

1:58 Scanlan Shaming a Man to Death has got to be one of, if not, my absolute favorite moment

41:38 love how Liam and Laura collide in laughter 😆

I love this. Seeing Sam take it from a gag to a bit, then putting the real effort behind it and finally the animated show was quite the journey

36:58 There's something so perfectly Scanlan to me about how Matt is describing this beautiful trill on the flute, then Sam busts out "The Hustle"

I'm mad that there never was a "I'm still Scanlan" performance. I legit hear that every time I listen to Elton John, and I would pay to hear Sams version.

I recently saw Hamilton, didn't realize how many song Lin Manuel stole from Sam.

Pit Fiend baby now you're mine at 34:52 will probably always be my personal favorite. It's hard to improv a parody song on the spot, let alone one that still rhymes well and doesn't use too many/too few syllables in any of the lines. Technically "baby it's a sign" is one too many, but he does so well with the delivery it's barely noticeable. Despite the panic in his eyes, it was amazingly done and it's a song I actually find myself quietly singing at work or when I'm bored sometimes. Well done to Sam in general for his performances and especially for that amazing cutting words.

My head cannon is that in universe Vox Machina while they're fighitng or whatever they're doing when Scanlon's hits a bop, they actually all start singing along and it just pumps them up.

31:14 Best song of them all. I could totally jam to his version...

35:46 is probably my favorite because it’s not even his move and Matt couldn’t help joining in despite telling Sam to stop

Laura and Marisha just vibing to whatever madness Sam puts out. Marisha is always first on the fingersnaps.

31:14 is so good it could be his theme song

51:25 I love how you can see Matt just go “wtf is happening?”

The absolute death and dissapointment in Travis Eyes, when he hears its the redskins fight song! :'D Priceless :'D

2:07 Thats the best vicious mockerly line if i ever heard one

Sam Riegel is a unique combination of a menace and an international treasure.

i miss scanlan. i dont think anyone will ever top the energy he brought to the table. imo chetney comes close but sam just owned every aspect of the scan man

Watching Matt trying to interject, but not wanting to stop Sam is precious!

26:12 can we appreciate how well the group harmonized here.

I like to imagine that every time Scanlan bursts into song, everyone else joins in.

Something I love is he inspires EVERYONE. He doesn't play favourites, he supports the entire team.

So are we not gonna talk about that amazing impromptu harmony from everyone else at 16:05-16:14

gotta give Liam credit for trying at 37:47... not half bad

I love 38:46 because you can see how much they missed Scanlans songs while he was gone

I love how Taliesin joins in so often and is disgusted the rest

Sam is a genius, and he single-handedly raised the bar for Bards in D&D and I both love him and hate him for it. "Pit-Fiend Baby" is my favorite, with honorable mentions to "Eye of the Goliath", "Semi-Fucked Fight", "Bedroom Shitter" and the Trololo Song.

33:46 I mean we know Sam is amazing, but Tal's bass and adlibs wereso amazing here.

11:16 sign that I am Too Gay To Function number 4362 - getting distracted by Travis flexing his pecs during the singing 😂

I love the idea of Vox machina backing up scanlan when he roasts people in song

Love how everyone, even Matt, started to sing Opposites attract the moment Sam sang "i take six steps back"

I love watching him slowly get more and more confident singing these silly covers around the group, getting louder and quicker on the draw.

I think this was always one of my most favourite things about C1, how they all came together when Scanlan would sing his songs. Sam is just such a wonderful bard XD

a list of my faves for myself: 7:08 "and you miss me" 9:02 "boom clap the sound of your gun" 10:34 "tell her your with a gnome" 11:32 "here come scanlan, everythings gonna be alright" 12:17 "distraction" 15:42 "i want to fly away, yeah yeah yeah" 16:51"arrows and bows they fire" 18:25 "he is no hollaback gnome" 19:09 "everybodys raging now" 19:47 "purple worm" 20:52 "eye bitten twice shy" 21:57 "with a bearded face" 24:33 "trololol" 25:40 "beard of strongjaw" 26:51 "westrun girls" 27:27 "percys gun wont you come" 28:07 "i hate rakasha" 30:08 "tearing up your heart when she heals you" 31:14 "come on come get your scanlan on" 33:20 "youre a fiend and a confidant" 33:37 "you see him larkin" 33:45 "your tryna kill a white dragon" 34:52 "pit fiend baby now youre mine" 35:31 "heal thee" 36:13 "and his hair was parted in middle" 36:31 "thordak the cinder king

It's been at least 5 years since I first saw it and that "you ugly, you ugly" sequence still lives in my brain rent free

My headcannon being any time the rest of the cast joins in, their characters join too, and thats what helps with the inspirations. Bolstering their own spirits so to speak

Also something else, you just see Marisha light up every time and join in when Sam starts singing. She the hall to his Oates 😂

26:14 When the group chimes in just sends me, so good!

Marisha: dances supportively

i think the thing i miss about scanlan's songs the most is the rest of the crew joining in, we dont have anything like that now other than "makin' my way"

What made it amazing was you could literally see Sam creating these lyrics in his head. Best freestyles ever

Distracting the DM is half the battle. Sam/Scanlan is undisputed all-around MVP of campaign 1.

One of many reasons why VM was the best campaign

21:18 is the most betrayed I've ever seen Travis

11:17 I lost my absolute shit at Taliesin respondingn lmao

I regularly come back to watch this video. Man I miss Scanlan's songs

All this time, peeps... It was in front of us all this time. The real God isn't Taliesin, it's Sam! Look how at 21:34 The Goth Man prays to the Cultured One... It's all the evidence we need!

35:00 I love the fact that it was the girls and Travis that did the high part.

26:12 Dat Harmony Tho!

I love how half of the time Sam starts to sing a song and the whole table is disappointed or embarrassed, only to join in after the first 3 lines whole hearted and with out any shame. It’s great.

Talesin and Marisha always jamming out makes it lol

Sam: *(launches into Name Game because Anna Ripley)* Taliesin: *(visibly pained)*

There were so many things I loved about this video, such as everyone vibing to Scanlan's music or the creature that was so offended about being called ugly that he drowned himself.

pit fiend baby now you're mine goes so incredibly hard

Brian W Foster wasn't lying when he said that every single one of these was fucking gold

“Open your back door babaayyyyyy” Best Scanlan song

This is about to get me through my gym time

Gosh, I don't even know the context in most of them, but it's hilarious either way. Sam is pure joy.

they get so much better as he levels up....... god this whole show is just pure perfection

Sam has such a beautiful voice, I can't wait to hear him singing more in season 2

*listens and sits up when he spoofs "Hail to the Redskins" (before anyone says anything that is LITERALLY the name of the old Washington Commander's Fight Song) and looks up where he is from* Oh crap, didn't know he was from D.C. Then seeing Travis's face when Sam told him what it was based off of, priceless.

this makes me want to run a game where the party is a band 😂

Because of the number of times I've listened to this and your other compilations of the songs, I fully remember the songs with the cast reactions in the background

Okay but like I know this video is about Sam and his Scanlan songs but Taliesin singing along is BEAUTIFUL

and people wonder why critical role hit it like it did, sam is pure genius

Bro it’s actually mad impressive how quickly they can come together on a 6-7 part harmony. Like… that’s nuts 😂😂

I haven´t watched campaign 1 and just started with campaign 2 (I´m at episode 36 ). So I know Sam Riegel and his creativity but DAMN how does he come up with so many songs and lyrics!? I´m baffled.🤣

I love how the whole group gets in it with him and hype him up!!! By far the best bard, but just as much the best group for having his back too!!! I don’t think there’s ever gonna be a more iconic bard ever again

My favorite part is that he's committed to the bit, but he's also a SUPER good singer.

I was feeling rather unmotivated to work, but I just completed all of my chemistry homework while watching this. I suppose Scanlan gave me 1d6 inspiration.

someone should make a spotify playlist based on these lmfao

31:14 is probably my favorite

Campaign 1 will forever be the pinnacle of Critical Role... sure, they've got good stuff now, but holy shit throughout the entire first campaign the unhinged improv is just unbeatable... Travis and Sam are easily the quickest on their feet and have a wicked sharp wit when it comes to rolling with the punches. Phenomenal RP from them and some genuinely touching moments centered around them. Still remember bawling with Scanlan's wish while watching live.

It’s so crazy watching some of the early used streams compared to now. Crazy how they gave all grown and it makes my heart happy

he is a genius and a top entertainer. hands down

Can i point out how stable that trololol was. Given that this kinda impromtu and Sam is sitting which does make singing specially breath control harder

i think my favorite will always be the "do you wanna build a machine gun?" and tal replying "why yes i really do!" also the hamilton parodies cuz of the vm musical and i just love how they used the original bit edit cuz i keep coming back to this vid (yes im making a list now cuz this is getting long): everyone's reaction around 21:10 when Sam reveals that it's the Redskin's fight song the Gern songs Sam nailing the troll song you know, as one does all the songs directed at Pike (cuz they are hilarious but sweet, edit: that one from the end credits of tlovm *chef's kiss*) every time Scanlan casts the Mansion and singing something house related the xmas songs about dragons pit fiend baby now you're mine whenever Tal joins in with the bass Kash. a-aaaah! Scanlan and Vex being slightly flirty for shits an' giggles whenever he gives inspiration to her (also, b r o o m) the others playing Scanlan when Sam is away and singing (personal fav, Tal singing Roxanne) uuh you'we swo scawy, u-uuw you'we swo scawy uwu (sorry to everyone whos reading this) Scan...lan...sitto. the part where he and Vex were looking for the book in Ioun's library and had to sing in order to find it (Matt going oh my goood, we are t h o s e people...) your Minxie brings all the boys to the yard, and they're like (✨security guard!✨✌sorry again) don't worry be happy but sung by a mildly irritated Scanlan to Percy how about 2400 critters chanting Vax'ildan? *crowds picks it up* now a d12 can be rouoolled mi-i-iss you random limbo song Sam, Laura, Liam and Ashley going awa-awa-arra-raa-rrows

Lol I've always assumed that in-campaign, Scanlan's singing summoned a bunch of spectral backup singers, which was OOC the rest of the group singing along.

I’d pay good money for a Christmas album sung by scanlan or really any album

I skipped the first campaign but I'm starting to realize that was a mistake lol

I want someone to look at me the way Liam looks at Sam when he sings

Somehow sam makes Semi-Charmed kinda life less fucked up, which I find hilarious.

I am impressed by Matt's ability to retake control of the game after these

I need to listen to sth while studying for exams and this is now my playlist

The Britney Speers vs the pit fiend was the best

What a weird last day for the ones fighting VM. I mean you wake up having a day get jumped then a strangely hot shortstack starts singing in the middle of the fight his team joins in on some lyrics. Then they all style on you while kicking the shit out of you.

dude is THE BARD

I love how quickly Marisha just starts vibing out and joining in with the clapping every time.

34:52 my favorite

34:52 Best one without a doubt

Wow that last song to pike beautiful :')

I never realized how similar Jester and Scanlan were played. The amount of times both their players said something and then just started laughing because they couldn't believe they had said that is way more than I remember.
