My favorite comment about this scene I've found has been "A man with an American accent doing an impression of a german accent doing an impression of a man with a texan accent whos doing an impression of a British man doing a texan accent"

You know that this means canonically Fjord actually says "eldritch blast" every time he casts it

👌Eld-👌Elteritch 👊Eltricht... bljeeeaasst :^]

I had closed captions on and the best part of this video is when the captions read: “I like to Sjwallow Sjwords”

"Aye am a littel gooblaaan." "Ooooh boy."

Man, most of us can't even do an accurate foreign accent. Can you imagine playing someone with a foreign accent trying to mimic a different foreign accent? I think my brain would explode.

I love all of caleb’s expressions as he sinks deeper into trying to say the accents! love this, it’s so funny!

I love how he gets progressively worse drawn as he says eld-elt-aeltdrisch blaaaaeeeeessss

"My god is so cool you guys" *eyes are forcibly removed from chat*

I love how Caleb progressively regresses into a child’s refrigerator drawing

Eyldryich /bläæest/ Caleb’s little c: KILLS ME

Funny story: I'm from Germany and was playing D&D with friends. We are playing the english version because we agreed, that the german version has some cringe translations. Most of us can understand and pronunce english words rather well (compared with the clishee), but it's difficult, if we don't know the word. A friend (new to D&D) was playing a Bloodhunter (with the subclass, that gets Warlock spells) and chose Eldrich Blast as a cantrip. Later, we played and she used the cantrip, pronuncing it like Caleb did. Me and one friend (also watching Critical Role) couldn't stop laugthing. Our poor friend didn't know what was going on. It was hilarious. (Sorry for my bad english)

"Ooooohai. I am....eh loving pastries. And also, my godt iss sooo coolyougais..." PERFECT

*I am a loving pastries*

ok so, quick story. i’ve been sobbing over this for 5 minuets, my boyfriend has a german accent and it comes out more when he’s upset, long story short our friends put him in this situation and we’re trying to get him to do an american accent and it sounded so much like how caleb mimics jesters accent, and his grammar was all messed up too aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

1:05 is my favourite frame by FAR

I will always adore Nott's "So you were lying. So clever!" She really is just that mom with the bumper sticker on the back of her van that says in giant letters 'MY SON IS AN HONORS STUDENT'.

oh my god this is my favorite animatic of all time I literally died when Fjord t-posed into frame jesus christ

It's been years since this episode aired, and I'll still just sometimes randomly think back to Caleb saying "El...el ...elteritch bljeeeaasst", and then spontaneously burst out laughing.

The way the art slowly deteriorates and springs back... very good

This is THE BEST. I love you, and I love fjord t-posing into the scene

The changing styles makes this 10x funnier, I love it

this is AMAZING lmao, the devolving art style of caleb as he trys harder and harder on eldritch blast, and all their expressions, gods this is freakin gold.

1:01 I love how the drawing quality deteriorates each time Caleb attempts it! 😂

I love how vivid Caleb’s German accent is, you can tell Liam worked on it a whole lot and now it’s perfect! Liam is such a good voice actor

I'm absolutely WHEEZING. All the characters and their respective entrances (Fjord T-Posing, Cadeuces entering from the mist, Beau wheezing into view Yasha chilling in the back) were amazing on their own, but how you drew Caleb as he attempted all of their accents? Crouching down to Nott, sparkling with Jester, slowly getting more meme worthy with Fjord, looking like he's super sleepy with Caddy. (Also all their character designs are so amazing and gorgeous omlllll) New favorite CR animatic! Have a great summer (or winter, respectively) and Is It Thursday Yet?

I love the changing art styles, it's so expressive. This was one of the funniest moments in the campaign

My face hurts from smiling, Fjord's embarrassment is palpable akcjdjc

0:30 It's all fun and games until Fjord T-poses into frame. It then goes back to being fun and games when Jester steps out of a rip in spacetime.

this is incredible and I can’t emphasise enough how much i love the nott at 0:55

My face is so red from holding in my laughter I’m with my family right now they’re gonna think im having a stroke

“ohh, hai. i am, lovingk..pastries” NEVER fails to get me

Honestly, doing another accent poorly while still being recognizable WHILE trying to maintain a completely different accent to stay in character is a pretty impressive feat

A character losing all their details to express an emotion is my new favorite thing

I loved that Fjord "loaded" into the scene in a neutral model pose.

Fjord saying "I don't sound like that!" held more meaning than any of us knew at the time. Lmao

OMG FJORD T-POSING. Great job with the animatic btw. All oh the expressions loooks beatiful.

this almost reads like a taz skit... like ‘eildreeeeetch blaaaayst’ is so Griffin taking the piss out of his players

Okay, so, I know he was trying to be Caleb doing a Fjord accent, but it ended up as Borat. Thank you for bringing more selective attention to this scene, it is great.

Liam as Caleb as Jester is just wonderful.

*My Got is, my goat is, my got is soooo cool you guyyyyss*

The deterioration of reality as Caleb sinks further

I've watched this so many times and it still brings tears to my eyes - the expressions, Caleb's eyes literally leaving his face when he says 'sooooo' and the closed captions and just *chef's kiss*

The devolution of Caleb as he says "Eldritch Blast" is so good

Cad's facial expressions kill me. I love it so much :'))

Did fjord just T-posed his way thru this conversation

with scenes like this you almost forget how much this show breaks our heart

"This counts as a long rest right?" Killed me!

The beau wheeze gets me everytime. I want that face tattooed

1:01 I love how the quality just dwindles, omg

i hope you know that when im having a bad day, its become routine for me to watch this to feel better

this is one of my fav animatics now im crying. i love how expressive this style is also can we talk about how cute that cad is? soft....

Whoever did the subtitles, hats off, 'swjallow swjords' was a beautiful addition

i know it's been a while since this was uploaded, but the animation changing as caleb tried harder and harder made me laugh so hard that my dog looks concerned now

I love that Fjord just slides into the shot while t posing 😆

The subtitles add another amazing layer of chaos too this

0:47 made no sense but I understood it anyway

Oh God, GREAT job here. I can honestly say the drawings add so much to the comedy How they get rougher and "worse" at certain peak moments And the faces and change in quality when Caleb says eldritch blast lmfao 😂 😂 😂 Amazing job

It’s like an accent on top of an accent - a double-decker accent! XD

The captions made this 50x as hilarious.

Glorious. Wonderful. Magnificent. The art is so expressive. Calebs eyes just flying off his face sideways, pure majesty.

when im sad i think about his little :u) face at 1:05 and my day is a little better

Every face in this animation is so great

the style getting less and less coherent has caleb keeps trying is kILLING ME i love this

I love how Caleb gets derpier every time he does one.

UR CADUCEUS IS SO SOFT LOOKING I ADORE HIM

fjord T-posing his way onto the screen was such a mood

"This counts as a long rest, right now" 🤣😂🤣

I've literally watched this like 20 times in a row and I laugh every time god bless you honestly

I like hearing him crack and laugh at himself near the end. I like to imagine that at a certain point during this Caleb realized it was funny and started laughing too ^^

i love how they just go from detailed to VERY conceptually Simple

hey I really appreciate that you put subtitles on this! I don't remember if they were here last time I checked, but it's really great when people put in the effort.

These facial expressions are AMAZING the eyes boggling out with Jester impersonation was so hilarious!!!

This is amazing, and the expressions you give these people are AMAZING, like Beau’s wheezing face being my favorite

I keep coming back to this video every few days 😂😂 kills me every time

God the animation style changing while caleb says eldritch blast absolutely KILLED me

this is my favourite critical role animatic ever

There it is, the unequivocal best Mighty Nein animatic of all time.

I watched this so many times because it just makes me so happy.

I always rewatch this whenever I'm down, it has never failed in making me laugh.

god this so cute and funny??? i love how expressive the animation is and the way you drew faces more simplified or more detailed to emphasize the hilarity of it had me on the FLOOR laughing

Dude I love how the detail changes sepending on the mood of the character talking! Its like I see something new everytime!

I actually am in love with this style

I'm crying watching this

This is so precious!! Your animation is so adorably goofy I was laughing harder at this than the original clip 💖💖

This art style is precious i love it. So cheeky.

God the animation choices in this are fucking GOLDEN!💀 Caleb’s eyes flying off his face, Caleb becoming less detailed and more silly when the becomes stuck/clueless, 🤌

1:01 THE INCREASINGLY SIMPLE STYLE CHANGES MADE ME FUCKING CRY............ THE LITTLE SMILE AT THE END WITH NOTT'S DISSAPOINTMENT........... I LOVE THIS

I love All the little details like Cad’s floral tattoos/sleeves. So well done!!

Fjord's t-pose is the best

Hee. I really liked the changes in style. How Caleb degrades when he's doing poorly. Nice work!

THAT CADUCEUS IS SO GOOD!!! I LOVE HIS HAIR FLOOf

i’ve rewatched this so many times oh my god. your visual humour is incredible

The animation....from 1:00 to 1:05... Is so amazingly funny... I love the de-volution/pride on Caleb's face so much I want a perminant flip book by my side

I love that ford t-poses into the scene

I just want you to know that this is, and will remain, my favorite CR video of all time. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched it, and I laugh like an idiot Every. Single. Time. The way the animation gets worse with the accent is just so damn funny, it’s amazing. Impeccable comedic timing, spot-on expressions… basically, I just love this video lol

I've watched this video an ungodly amount of times for the last two weeks.

The animation is fantastic, I love how the voices sync up with the expressions.

Doing two accents at the same time is *incredibly* hard!! Once a long time ago, I was keeping a "slight" Scottish accent going for most of a workday, and tried to speak Spanish to a co-worker... I think something broke in my brain for a couple minutes...😅

Does this mean that, in canon, Fjord always sais ”Eldritch Blast” whenever he casts it?
