It's a special kind of funny not knowing any of those references and seeing Jacob being tortured live on camera by them

Jacob jumpscare warning at 0:00

The "this will also uncircumcise you" one gets me every time

I love that Spenser was basically able to deconstruct him when every other meme got a small snort at best.

I think this video kind of proves that the funniest dnd memes are the ones about your own sessions and not the weird, general ones that you see so often online. Like reality, the ones that go above just base, untrue stereotypes, are the funnier and longer lasting memes, but they require a lot more context and are specific to the viewer

Jacob: I am NOT here to play around! Me, the Narrator: He was totally here to play around...

D&D is hilarious in itself. Just recently, me and a party were trying to decide the fate of an eavesdropper, where we could just beat them up, or let them go and track them down to find their bosses. There were some fun exchanges for 10-20 minutes, but we couldn’t decide, so the Ranger psychically linked to a pigeon and got a second opinion from it. The fate of an eavesdropper was decided by a pigeon. And it chose death as the fate.

I love how you can hear him physically hold back a laugh once he reads some of these. It's great seeing how hard he tries at holding back laughter

He struggled, but he survived, not one single laugh. This time, unlike last time, where he did 110% laugh.

Jacob: "look at me. I did not even smile" Jacob's editor: "cut, cut, cut, cut..."

It's quite wholesome how well Spencer was able to force the defensive non-laughing wheezes there, that she knows you well enough to make you laugh with all of them

Normally I don't like "Try not to laugh" videos, because not laughing at something funny usually just makes the video less entertaining. You were so absolutely extra in your attempts to not laugh that I think this might be the first TNTL video I actually loved!

6:49 Without any context, seeing these really random images and Jacob just going "Oh, I know what these are, it's personal now!" is really funny

DND: after careful consideration, cats get darkvision but only for .0000010 seconds. We hope this change will shake up the meta and open up more options for players. Edit: This only applies to lvl 5 cats and above

Spenser then proceeded to pelt Jacob with memes that would constantly push him to the brink of laughter. With tears in his eyes, Jacob looks up from the ground, exhausted, and he would defiantly proclaim "Not funny. Didn't laugh." However, they both knew Spenser had yet to even break a sweat while Jacob was using all his might to hold back the tiniest of chortles; she was the true victor.

I feel like the jokes are funny when its pandered towards your own sessions and not just generalized like "haha the bard had segs with the dragon classic". For example, I played an old dnd session where the dm gave permission to one of the players to be a tiny whale instead of the other any of the provided races. There was an ongoing joke in the party that when someone asked for something from them (usually something like asking them to grab an object) they couldn't and usually responded with "I don't know what you want from me I'm a whale". This grew to be even funnier when at the second to last session the player had never actually chose a race with stats or bonuses and just wrote "whale" and continued on with character creation.

I wonder. If you cut a character's corpse perfectly in two and cast Resurrection on both halves at the same time, do you get existential horror?

Yes. Roll less. Nobody wants to see: "I'm gonna go outside." "Sure. Make an athletics check to control your feet." "11." "You manage to walk toward the door without falling over, but it's not pretty. Roll dexterity to reach for the door..." " **sigh** Nat 1." "...oh dear..."

@15:40 It's always so weird when that happens. I was running a Star Wars game once, and the players had to get to Padme's tomb to recover a disk that was hidden there, but there was an Imperial crackdown on rebels ongoing, so the players were given a Gungan guide to get past the Imperials. Naturally, the guide gets killed by Imperials just as the group reaches the forest, so the group will need to decide what to do next as they flee. Instead, the Wookie player grabs the corpse, and runs with it, demanding that the group take it to the Gungans for burial. A Gungan town is kind of on the way, so whatever. The people in the village realize the corpse was an aide to Senator Jar Jar years ago, and promise to do a funeral since he redeemed himself. But no. Now, the group wants to go to Jar Jar to learn this guy's whole story, convinced it would be important, even though it obviously wasn't. So they manage to steal a vehicle and reach the rural hut Jar Jar was living in, only now he's depressed, and he has a limp from the ISB breaking his leg; he tells them his history as senator, and then takes them on a secret path to Padme's tomb. Big nothing burger, time to move on with the story. Long story short, the Empire gets overthrown, and Jar Jar is now elected chancellor because the party brute forced him into becoming one of the leaders of the New Republic after they guilted him into helping the Rebels. So...yeah.

Honestly respect for holding the laugh in with the fish doom guy in crocks, I laughed at it without knowing an ounce of the context behind it.

The memes in this video range from 6/10 to 8/10, but Jacob's reactions and stubborn refusal to give in were 11/10, cracked me up so much.

_" Some people... just want to see the world laugh. "_

I like how the hardest ones for him to resist laughing at were set by his wife, who knows him to well.

Jacob laugh timestamps: 13:34 was a small exhale before the cough, 14:36 was also a small exhale, 15:04 was probably the start of a laugh, That was pretty good with no real laughs. Nice work!

Jacob trying not to laugh is funnier than the actual memes themselves

So my brother is DMing for the family, and ended up also having a Warlock PC himself (I think he does it well, doesn't try to be in the spotlight or be op or anything); so _he_ decides when his patron wants something of him. His patron is "Krex the Very Petty" though, so it's generally small things like "lie once today" or "attempt to steal something (don't even have to succeed)"

Love the fact that Spencer's listed in Jacob's contact list as Evenstar. That's wholesome as hell.

I accidently paused at 14:41 without noticing. I spent a good 3 minutes on the edge of hysteria while I waited for Jacob to move again...

The 'asian restaurant 5e' meme absolutely SENT me

The easiest way to avoid laughing at D&D memes is to pretend you're your mom listening in from upstairs and don't understand anything that's happening.

I love how one of the few he almost laughed at was just "Necromancy is based"

@11:20 I absolutely agree. People tend to spend way too much time rolling for stuff that isn't risky. Even 3.5 (which I run) has lots of stuff to help you roll fewer dice, such as taking a 10. Like, if a guy wants to jump 10ft across a ravine, and there's space to run up, and he isn't under pressure (such as during a fight or escape scene or such) and he doesnt have a huge negative modifier to his jump checks (from being slow or wearing heavy armor), it's an auto pass because the DC is only 10 and i'll just let them take a 10 instead of rolling.

So ready for this video. The painful majority of online D&D content is so unfunny and gets less funny the longer you’re in the community but you usually find good ones

“Panique attaque” We have achieved comedy

I love how everytime he starts to be serious, the music faintly starts and becomes more epic

9:40 Jacob is like the giant obot of The Incredibles: the only thing that can defeat him is himself

Aye man! Gotta say thanks for the content! Honestly bringing up my confidence to start DMing with your videos, helping me understand I'm a player too, but I play the world, and that I can still have "PC"s in the form of NPCs that have their own story that I dictate at my own will, without worry of some overbearing god-being killing them or making them unhappy because that's me.

I can say I didn’t laugh at a single meme, but Jacob’s reactions kept getting me

LIES AND SLANDER! at around 9:47 he cracked a smile when he said he wouldnt even SMILE. I rest my case your honor! XD

4:50 I like that it's not just any lobster, it is a RANDOM lobster

I love the fucking Mona Lisa smile Jacob does at the last meme as he uses his entire heart, soul, and mind to not laugh.

Jacob! Doing great on the content this year man, really impressed!

Okay, "Cast Iron" was fucking genious and I need that Kobold Civil rights Movement meme, because that is literally my party

Hang a clock on the wall, so we can see how much time is between the cuts so you don't secretly laugh in between cuts!

Necromancy is based.

Every week my friend and I make memes for our dnd sessions and it is so much fun. There were some really funny one. But for some reason the one that made me laugh the hardest was "Necromancy is Based".

Resurrection was also why my wizard carried around the fingers of every NPC and party member that died that she could get too who she felt died unjustly. Nothing creepy or necromancy about that at all

This just goes to show that maybe, just maybe... The real DnD memes were the friends we made along the way

14:00 Came for the Memes and stayed for the spontanious demonic possession

It’s great that you and spencer know each other so well, hope you two are happy for the rest of your lives :)

you should make the don't laugh character an npc and if your party can make you laugh they get a bonus on the encounter.

I like how he's trying to convince us he's not laughing for 17 minutes straight.

I think the funniest thing in this video was the bear in the supreme jacket. Bears in clothes is just hilarious.

Can't wait for you to laugh again at many of the memes again when you said you wouldn't. Keep up the good content, my friend.

The best part of this is how much Jacob loves Spencer and how evil slash smart she is lol

I know I wouldn't have laughed at some of these memes ordinarily, but Jacob's reactions just sent me over the edge.

Right off the bat, first meme he almost contradicts what he said in the very beginning on the video lmao xD

Omg Jacob trying so hard to big boy not laugh is so ADORABLE

Watching him fight for his life not to laugh at Spencer's memes was the best. 🤣

11:09 Matt lookin like a villain in the first shrek

The first youtuber that takes a don't laugh challenge serious Thank you sir

"this is no joke", proceeds to look at jokes

“They should have darkvision” then just give them darkvision lmao

Why does everyone think leomunds tiny hut is so small? Its a 10 foot RADIUS. Which means its 20 feet from one side of the circle to the other. You could fit 4 king size beds in the hut and still have room leftover.

I love how you turn every smile and urge to laugh into a rant about how you aren't smiling or laughing.

The video lagged for me at 3:07 so I thought there was a 30-second pause of absolute silence before realizing something was wrong

“I just saw the crocks…” had me dying

Look at Jacob cutting more the a Marvel fight scene to hide his shame.

The problem is that 5e got rid of low light vision, which many animals had in previous editions...

I'm so glad youtube d&d communities exist like this one. Reddit just got worse and worse to the point where I just felt unwelcomed. I love you all ❤

the druid and the lobster got me... hahaha

Love the video! You’re an amazing KZfaqr and I love you’re content!(also love the sif theme in the beginning)

the difference between a precision approach and a brute force approach be like: 6:25

prediction he will laugh

One of the things I like about some of the DMs I play with is that they are really loose with skill rolls with things like long jumps. If the jump is within your capabilities to achieve within the rules (16 str, 16 ft long jump), they'll make you roll for the jump, but the pass DC is super low, like 7-8. That way, barring a roll of 1 or 2, you'll succeed with your modifiers.

13:20 I half expected Holy Diver to start playing there.

Going to play Try not to Laugh with these DND memes starting now 3:06 Bit of air came out of my nose 5:50 tiny bit of air came out 12:40 nearly broke here Overall, no laughs

When he didn’t smile at all at the ‘cast iron’ one is when I knew it was really on

this is my second video i have watched of yours and i'm loving the funny editing and your overall vibe, gonna check out more :)

just the energy of how this meme hit you is what made me laugh so hard. I don't even know the context till you explained it but I was cracking up.

I definitely turned into a goat last time we encountered a goat. Is that a druid thing? It did not help me understand the goat. Then our ranger spoke to the goat and the goat said its brothers were big scorpion people, so we left.

What a strange hill to die on: Saying that you don't laugh at memes for the thing you like. This hill is almost as strange as the "Dragons aren't weak" hill is small.

Great Video! *These are extremely hilarious memes*

I feel personally attacked, LET THEM ROLL DICE! I like having the party roll checks for everything, but with super easy dice targets, so there is little to no chance of failure, but if they do mess up, it can be HILARIOUS xD

I love the way, he rather risks dying than laugh about the memes

Willem Dripfoe defeated him

Oh I just love the dedication, worth watching till the end!

If I make you roll to jump a ten-foot ravine when you can reliably jump sixteen, it's a clumsiness check. The pass score is 2, but if your character just fucks up and jumps poorly that sucks

I watch these not because I care if Jacob laughs or not, but because I want someone else to curate good memes for me.

Good to see another video of Jacob lying to himself about how he “didn’t laugh” for twenty minutes. Never change man, love you man ❤️ (Homie love) it ain’t weird

That lorax one made me laugh. All the other ones that got you close were targeted so they had less effect on me. I just love a good rhyme man - rhyming all the timing

I lost it at Vince Mcmahon, Vince memes get me every time🤣

Oh shit, here we go again. He's gonna laugh.

"This situtation is pretty funny" AHA! WE CAUGHT YOU

Jacob: AMOGUS Spencer: " I have never seen this man before in my life"

Yeah... I just wrote in "Darkvision" under Cat's senses in my Monstrous Manual. I'm the DM. DM's word is law.

16:33 goofy ahh noise

16:01 the Bard is more concerned with the lack of holes than the lack of hearing.

14:18 you can see his soul exit his body

The resurrection meme had me literally on the floor laughing. Top tier stuff.
