Omg it'll never happen

IT'S A PERFECT TRAGEDY

Lol once again, so close

Oh my god!! 🤣

It was meant to be

Ya gotta know how the game is played to hate it properly

Most commonly landed on unless you're hard AI.

Their is a lot of strategy, actually....

@@bretfrench1228 Roll-and-move board games are on the extremely low end of the strategy scale when it comes to games. There's a lot more strategy in Yahtzee than Monopoly. It's only because Monopoly has a negotiation element tacked on that keeps it from being straight Chutes And Ladders level of insipid. In comparison, Matt probably had a D&D game the other night where the players tried at least a handful of crazy things that aren't covered in the thousand-plus pages of rules for his edition of the game. You know those memes with an increasingly posh-looking Pooh? If Monopoly is like that image file, a tabletop RPG is like actually going to a university and earning an academic degree. There are so many good board games out there. Monopoly was invented as an educational punishment, and its poisonous tree bears only vile fruit.

@@googiegress7459 who bankrupt you? Your brother? Get over yourself and if you werent a total idiot, than you can see the strategy... theirs also different house rules... stop comparing the game to others as a base for what defines strategy just because you dont like the game....

lol

Now that you mention it... They do have somewhat similar voices. Matt literally sounds like his voice could be a character that Arin was doing.

That would be the absolute greatest troll move.

Or was it Matt just doing an Arin voice??? Who was real?????

Bold of you to assume that every episode of Game Grumps isn't just Arin doing a Dan voice.

I can hear his voice

Except he just said he hasn't seen this

I think it's funnier as "so I'm gonna be the _gold_ bear..." with the implied "who cares about all that dreary stuff, what whimsical piece do you wanna be?"

This guy and his friends literally make a living playing a game they enjoy and he complains about capitalism? People are strange.

@@Erebus66 You complain about capitalism, yet you participate in capitalism. Curious! I am very intelligent.

@@lilepdude at no point did his post complain about capitalism.

@@bazzfromthebackground3696 I'm well aware, thanks

They both have such peaceful energy, but Dan plays rough with Arin like a cat with their best friend.

Yeah I miss Dan… this guy sucks

@@e2eky1e Pffft I appreciate the reference to post-Jon era rage

When Arin Hanson tells u not to go that far, then you know you're sounding crazy

Finally, someone makes a joke that weirds Arin out. Granted, as someone who watches vtubers... That's a pretty mild joke that Arin thinks is a bit much.

“Lets not go that far” says the man who has ruined the word “completion” for me

Oh Arin's said way worse on the show. Especially when he freaks out over a game.

I love how normally Dan is the one being weirded out by Arin's pushing of the comfort envelope on comedy, but here the roles are reversed and it's Arin put in that position for once lol

Proof Matt fudges his dice rolls

Hahaha touché 🤣

TTRPG dice use Arabic numbers, not dots.

@@RabblesTheBinx 'Tis true. I'd hate to count pips in the tiny triangles of a d20.

In Matt's defense, the numbers aren't normally pips.

*Immediately downloads and starts playing

Matt: HE SOMEHOW MADE ME ENJOY MONOPOLY?!!? I'M SCARED TO GO BACK!!!

I'm saving that sound byte. For uh, purposes.

He did pick the same piece though.

Not a great chance when he keeps making objectively bad decisions. But a chance still.

It's so true any time they play monopoly Dan just Humiliates Arin. Unless of some dumb fluke deal.

Matt's german?

And we are not gonna get into why is that

[insert Road to El Dorado gif]

@Daniel Maldonado hello, Negative Nancy

@Daniel Maldonado That you are a very negative person and that he hopes your day gets better. :)

@@resileaf9501 or not, since he spams a lot of negative comments into multiple comments.

ally was basically the guest in the project zomboid episode. She more or less taught arin how to play the game.

There will never be a chance so long as they keep setting an AI to hard. The game literally rigs rolls for them to crush you.

omg wait if you could explain what they meant that would be great i'd love to know what they're on about

I already loved Matt. That like made me love him even more.

@@SomeOfTheJuice That and the "So we're gonna share gamer goo? 😏"

To be fair, most of the Critical Role crew are masters of comedic timing lol. Imagine if he had Sam on lol. If he had Liam and Laura on they would totally take over the show for however many episodes they were on lol.

@@KumaChrisVT My god... Arin and Sam as a comedy duo... I don't think the world could handle that kind of chaos...

Matt as third grump

Matt Mercer is if a professional Craps player were a creative.

I laughed so hard, I had to rewind it and watch it again.

Love the throw back

This but unironically

It was genuinely off putting, I had no idea Mercer was such a friggin' commie. I sort of like him less now

@@princeblackelf4265 coward

@@princeblackelf4265 Sucks to be you, it made me like him even more

Like as a murder hobo kenku?

Yasss

Ideal.

He’ll play Fabricio or Randall Stevenson

I laughed super hard, but like, I couldn't figure out why I was laughing so hard. It really caught me off guard.

Where is it. I must have missed it the first time and I just can't find it xD

@@shioIna you skipped the ad in the first minute, didn't you?

@@shioIna Its the commercial at the start :p

And it’s only made funnier by the episode it precedes

29:25

@@jesterlol69 Thank you

Is that... is that the sound of a hundred fanfictions being born?

I mean, have you SEEN Laura Bailey's antics on CR?

@@bionicdragon5 She doesn't even have to say anything, all it takes is a glance now (see: the Cellebone)

hahahahaha!

The voice is truly majestic

Same! Man, that *really* got me

It's so nice seeing Dr. Cecil get the respect he deserves. He gets so much hate from the lovelies.

@@RabblesTheBinx I mean he did force Arin to help promote his book.

@@PatLund well, yeah, but nobody hates him for _that._ lt's all about that stupid, nonsensical conspiracy theory that Dr. Cecil is just Arin in a bad wig and makeup doing a funny voice. Which is, of course, absurd. I mean, they don't even look alike and Dr. Cecil keeps mispronouncing "Egoraptor", for crying out loud. It's almost as absurd as that one about Dan Avidan and Danny Sexbang being the same person.

Based!

Art imitates life imitates art imitates, my dude

The story of this game is always going to be hilarious and depressing

Wow you are so wrong. She wasn't making a point about capitalism at all. She was making a point about property taxes. You're not even close. Also capitalism is the best option that can actually exist in the real world.

@@millargates4723 She was promoting Georgism, which is in direct contrast to capitalism. And why do you believe capitalism is not only the best that does exist, but the best that *can* exist?

capitalism in a nutshell.

Yea Matt gelled so well, now we just need Dan on too. i thoroughly enjoyed this tbh!

Right? Not only is he a wonderful sweetheart, Arin and Matt have. SUCH phenomenal chemistry.

Have you seen Critical Role? his group of friends have a very similar sense of humor and they are all masters of comedic timing lol, he probably didn't even dip a toe out of the comfort zone lol.

@@KumaChrisVT can you imagine Sam and Arin together? I'd never stop laughing.

You had 420 likes on your comment and I ruined it. I'm sorry.

I hope Matt has seen the animated somebody did of that story!

Thats the same animated where dan keeps just barely NOT meeting matt mercer… suddenly when matts finally on the show, dans sick… *CONSPIRACY*

Nice coat

@@welcome2myhappyworld he did, he tweeted about it back then ,I believe.

This comment is even more relevant when you hear the last second of the video

he does funny dnd show called critical role with his buddies. their 3rd campaign just recently started and it's great so far. you should check it out!

if youve seen jojo's bizarre adventure, he is the voice of jotaro in the english dub also mcree from overwatch

@@alexbrant5820 and he was Leon in resident evil

Third Pumatt Sol: "I, myself, will also crush your trachea"

Fourth Pumat Sol: "I can, if you do not mind, gift wrap your broken trachea"

Respectfully

Arin: "This game of monopoly is sponsored by Gamer Goo!" Matt: [Vietnam flashback sequence]

@@bionicdragon5 the gamergooverse, blackwillow69 will have their revenge

Matt: (on reflex) “oh no what stupid shit does Sam have planned this week?” Matt: “wait…it’s not Thursday yet”

Yeah, it was kind of hilarious to see Matt get both utilities, get bounced around the board by community chest/chance cards, earning GO money and picking up half the properties on the board without even giving it a second thought, and then Arin gets hit with the de facto Income-Tax-Right-After-GO move.

I didn't expect so many other critters in this comment section, here's one more

So you say you’re a Lovely Critter so to speak (as are many of us including me. I am so hyped for tmr)

fellow Lovely Critter here, when i saw this pop up i was screaming quietly at work.

Same here, I was on mental overload between "FINALLY he gets a guest so he will stop venting into the void!" and "Oh gorsh, that's Matt. That's Matt! THAT'S MATT!"

Hello fellow Critters!! We all pumped for tomorrow?? (Jan. 28th 2022, for peoples from the future).

Matt Merciful

@@Pyrodragon3993 Mercerful 😆

He’s pretty uneducated so it’s fun to watch his childlike naivety shine.

@@clydebarksdale2264 Even if we ignore the fact that a majority of Americans don't have any college education, so they're no better than him, he's literally a highly successful voice actor as well as the CCO of his own company. He's accomplished more than most folks, that's for sure. Also it's pretty obvious he knows he can't literally share his utilities in Monopoly. It's ironic how you call others "uneducated" when your hateful comments reek of a lack of critical thought.

@@clydebarksdale2264 Yea, I felt like that comment was pretty un-called for dude. I just thought it was a sweet thing to say. No need assume it’s because he’s uneducated. What I’m saying is that whether or not what you said has any truth behind it or not, it has no place in this conversation. Thank you and goodbye.

“Ugh, why do you fuckin’ smell like that?” “The goo.” “What?” “What?”

Makes sense to have him on the show. Arin works well with guys he is vaguely attracted to!

@@KingOfDoma lol. vaguely. ;)

"Vaguely" Riiiiiiiight

And Dan talking about how he NEVER gets to meet Matt.

@@MikeJF85 and just so happens to be sick the day matt is on 0.0

I think they're friends irl tho, they used to mention him constantly back in the day

You need Proficiency in constitution saving throws.

shit im stunned.

@Daniel Maldonado you first, Negative Nancy.

I'd be more surprised if he said no

lmao

what!? 😱 i missed it, timestamp please??

So so so exciting! 💜

@Daniel Maldonado ???

@@DragonbornCanid ignore him, he's a Negative Nancy.

@@matthewelliott7294 im legit kinda shocked, thats so random. like, i didnt know timestamps were a mortal sin now 😂

I can hear it in his voice XD

@@zichithefox4781 Yeah, I can hear the all the intonations perfectly :P

Yeah he’s definitely a woke leftist.

I’m so glad I always m are sure to listen to the quiet after credits lmao

As the racist uncle. I'm the only reason it's bearable.

@@789syrus789 Wouldn't both major parties hate their racist uncle...?

Yep, definitely a comment someone who lives in Los Angeles and thinks they are better than everyone else would say. Critical Role cast loves their virtue signaling humble brags.

not to mention their same hair style

As far as I know I think they actually are

Yeah, they have *excellent* chemistry, it's super fun to hear them interacting with each other!

They almost make me think this episode isn't the first time they've met, crazy that it is.

They are long time friends.

... are we not doing "phrasing" anymore?

Matt is one of the most delightfully modest people I know of as far as celebrities/internet personalities are concerned. He's the best

@@KarianDespri I agree! He's the best :D

I love how Arin and Dan are gushing about Matt in other episodes and now he's finally on Game Grumps! This is one of my favorite collabs.

Matt Mercer but he's constantly shape shifting into all thr characters he's most famous for voicing across games and animation throughout the whole thing.

I was confused at first cause I thought Arin left and there was just two matts

@Phawnix that could be it. or matt does arins voice arin could be doing matts voice.

I legit thought the same thing for a minute but they kinda sound similar.

Doing things you hate because you have an opportunity to hang out with friends you haven't talked to in a while is a common thing (I mean, I've done it)

He's like suffering from Catholic guilt as he's finding himself to be enjoying the game even though it's bad XD

"Both? both, both is good."

ok.

Yes please. Exandria preferred.

I miss dragons and places

It would be amazing on stream and/or with face cam

@Daniel Maldonado you first

@Daniel Maldonado What context am I missing here...?

And wete here for it

@@ivybennett2274 that and the toxic rage discussions found interspersed throughout the comment section lol

Yeah, he's always so like... intent on ensuring the show is as good as it can possibly be (for CritRole), so his energy is totally different. It's so awesome to see him just relax and hang out and play a game he hates with a buddy

As DM it's his job to keep things on track, now he can let loose.

that depends on how you play it
