i love how liam, taliesin and sam are just three different flavors of theater kid

A fair reminder that Liam O’Brien is a phenomenal Shakespearean Actor.

This emphasizes that while Taliesin is the master of the one-liner, Liam O'Brian is a fucking masterclass in soliloquies that will tear your fucking heart out of your chest. Thank you for including all of the Venom in your Veins monologue.

One second he'll leave you clutching your heart as tears flow freely, and the next second it's all C U D D L E F I S H

Love how everyone else’s is almost pure jokes but there are several minutes dedicated to heart-wrenching Caleb widogast character development. Matt gets a lot of Credit, but Liam’s creation and performance of Caleb is in a league of its own too.

I just love that the first thing Vax ever said to the Raven queen was "Take me instead you raven bitch" and she was just. 'Yep that one I'll have as my champion'

"I have turned the gun back on Sam Reigel" is one of my favorite lines from the whole cast

I take joy in the fact that Aimee Carrero ACTIVELY KNOWS her "Nancy" bit is batshit insane AS SHE IS SAYING IT!

The wild mood shifts from really silly quotes to intense emotional quotes perfectly describes why I like critical role

Of all the raw ass lines that came out of Caleb, my favorite still has to be that moment when he incinerates Lorenzo at the end of C2E29, casually sits down on the steps and goes: "You shouldn't have killed my cat."

The emotional whiplash I just got from watching the scene at his parents grave IMMEDIATELY followed by "-- me daddy"

Liam is so _extra_ and I'm here for it.

the "a real job dad! :D" in the baby willingham ad (lol) always gets me, personally 😂😂

"Liam will be the doctor." "A real job dad!" Every actor ever

I don’t think it’s a controversial thing to say that Liam O’Brien is the most versatile player at that table.

Man. Watching Caleb explain what happened to his parents live was such a trip.

We all know that Tal says things far beyond the 947 years he has lived by holy shit did I forget that Liam does too

So dour! So intense! And then you get a piece of comedy gold in there like "...Mother!" XD

7:40 the transition from very emotional and pleading Caleb to Vax saying “and I walk away!” is killing me 😭😂😭😂😭😂

"You were not born with venom in your veins." And you weren't born with felt, but this line is ruined for me after I saw it drawn in an AU where the Mighty Nein are Muppets.

Man what an emotional rollercoaster.... emotional monologues and silly voices and gut wrenching confessions and sex jokes all in one short video....I'm fine thanks .-.

0:13 god the way marisha just stops dead and her jaw drops really gets across the “oh…… oh it’s this kinda backstory” feeling that I felt when he said that and god was it solemn

So you're telling me that Liam O'Brien could deadass pull off voicing Bibble from Barbie Fairytopia? (Re: cuddlefish)

Sad that nobody suggested my favourite quote, which is "what the fuck do we have in this world except for moments with each other?" [c1e72]

The emotional whiplash I experienced from Caleb finally getting closure about killing his parents to "choke me daddy" is unparalleled

I love how it just goes from “classic dnd Friends chaos.” To “Caleb.” It’s like, why to give us emotional whiplash guys.

3:20 this scene with the Briarwood always makes me cackle. The guy's before Percy's homewreckers and Vax's just got to point out their good looks lol

Liam O'Brien has to be one of the singularly most talented DND players ever.

THE PIE SEQUENCE WAS MY FAVOURITE SHIT EVER also I think I fell in love with Liam the moment I came on and heared someone do an authentic accent of my language that _wasn't_ a H*tler rip off and all the little details of him researching our actual culture instead of going "haha, Bratwurst and Lederhosen, right?"

The Speak N Spell voice will never not wrench my heart when I hear it. Liam just grabs it in both hands, and slowly rips it in two so that only a single thread remains to pull it back together.

Since mighty Nein animated was announced who else is ready to see Caleb's epic soliloquies come to life again?

Man I love Liam as Caleb. What an interesting character, and so tragic.

If this ever gets a sequel, "I could do this all day" and "I stab him in the Faenus" from C3 should be on it. (And I also wish the "What the fuck do we have but moments with each other" line could have been in there...) Still, so glad to see that Liam finally gets his video! (Would you consider ever doing a "the best bromance moments between Liam and Sam" video? Maybe? Please?)

Everybody at the table have the capability to make you weep uncontrollably. Liam is one of the top three at the table.

I'm sorry but Vax with his campaign hopping stealth playing hide and seek with easily distracted Grog is the cutest and bound for disaster.

seeing all these amazing Liam lines and moments makes me more and more convinced that he would make an unbelievable Hamlet

G-d what will it take for Liam to play a shakespeare inspired Bard because I would pay money at this point

I think my personal favorite line of his will always be this: Vex: Yes, yes, I get it, Keyleth is SO. FUCKING. BEAUTIFUL. Vax: Well, so are you, but wtf am I gonna do with that, you're fucking weird!

8:50 : he's speaking Zemnian. He doesn't have an accent. It makes sense because he is talking to his parents, but I had not noticed it, and the fact that he did it shows he's an amazing roleplayer. He's speaking Zemnian and I had not noticed it.

It's weird because ever since I started my "CR journey" as one might say, watching C2, the very first thing that happened to me was me sitting there throughout the entire episode just being completely unable to understand exactly what it was that was happening whenever I looked at Liam, and I realized that for some reason he just felt so incredibly *familiar* to me. Like, not as in I knew his voice or anything like that, but like for some reason I kept getting the feeling that I knew him somehow. And ever since then, I've slowly developed into knowing that I, out of every person in the cast, for some reason just like him the most. It's like somehow he made me feel like I'd known him for years in an instant. And I don't know what it is about him, but his performance as Caleb just blew me away time and time again. He is a phenomenal actor, a genuinely funny person, and I think he's the biggest reason I'm excited to start catching up on C1 as well because so far what I've seen of Vax just doesn't click the same way but I really hope it does

Liam O'Brien, CEO of making me sob

'i was richer for having known you' and that entire one shot is engraved on my soul forever. i'd hit such a low place in my life when i found CR and liam's first one shot just. . . resonated with me on a level nothing else did. i'd abandoned my friendships for pseudo relationships with voices in my head and that whole experience the cast went through in that session made me go 'no, i want people in my life again.' i will never not cry when i watch it.

"I've been thinking Counterspell for a f------- hour! Counterspell!"

I was just watching the rest of these yesterday and was wondering “wait why isn’t there one for Liam”

"It was like a magic trick, a fish turned into a corpse!" Should have been in there somewhere.

I love a good ol' fashioned Liam monologue. They always hit right in the feels man.

Gotta love Liam. He is a genuine and funny guy, but also has the ability to deliver these heart-wrenching scenes.

"And I am pleading with you to find your better self. - And I walk away." This jump cut absolutely killed me.

Everyone else's compilations - mostly jokes and goofs and lighthearted stuff. Liam's compilation - jokes, goofs, EMOTIONAL DAMAGE, lighthearted stuff, GUT PUNCH... Gotta love that man. He hurts me on the regular and I keep coming for more. Also, it's impossible not to melt when he does the cuddlefish. I dare anyone to try.

Liam playing the long game, writing up Caleb and planning all these elaborate and incredibly emotional monologues ready knowing there'd be an animated series down the line and he can win an Emmy with the voice performance.

Missed the best quote he ever had - his comment to Essek when finding out he is the traitor: "I would very much like for you to see the sunrise..."

From the live episode with Avantika and Fjord's talk: "It is getting very kinky in that room."

5:10 How does he just come up with this stuff of the top of his head?! It's just, poetry. Pure poetry One of my favourites though was to Keyleth under the Sun Tree "If you'll have me I'm yours, if not, I understand" T.T

my personal favorite "I'M STILL IN THE BUILDING RIEGEL"

"And I am pleading with you.. to find your better self.. And I walk away!" caught me quite off guard

I forgot about the "mother" from exu. That is up there with Matt's "I bring news from the womb."

"A real job dad!" I didn't know I could connect with him anymore than I already had LMFAO

"Do not go far from me." Still in pain after episode 3 of vox machina

Having one of the most deep and heartbreaking moments of c2 ("and I cast teleport and send it into the earth between them") placed right before the most hilarious "blooper" ("-me, daddy") is such a Liam mood LMAO Edit: a friend just pointed out my tweet is there and I'm so happy rn

I love Liam being melancholy so much but genuinely my favourite line of his is “dear gods, who was that one and a half armed man?”. It makes me laugh out loud every time.

I feel like we need to revive Shakespeare just to get him to write a play worthy of Liams acting skill

Liam "I HAVE SO MUCH EMOTION I MUST SOLILOQUY!" O'Brien.

His one shot that was one massive love letter to his friends drove me to tears. He's amazing

My favorite line, was at some time in one of the early streams, I can never remember which, they revealed some item of merch and then went on break, but they didn't cut the audio in time and you can just hear off mic Liam say "I want to jizz all over that" and it has stuck with me to this day, I will have to try and find it.

now I need one with more Orym, especially "I only like guys, and It's complicated"

I can always count on Liam O'Brien to make me cry ~ ✨

We can all appreciate Liam O'Brien's quotes but can I just say that I got a really good giggle out of the text box covering up a certain somebody at @3:29? That had me laughing so hard. Good placement whether intentional or not.

Loving that everyone else gets fun and whacky oneliners and bits, but Liam is CLEARLY using D&D as free therapy... no further comments

Everyone at this table are amazing dramatic actors, but Liam O'Brien has the ability to rip my heartstrings like no one else can T.T

3:20 mad respect for the placement of that tweet suggestion

Liam could be a Batman type of character in dnd at some point

Liam O'brein my beloved. I love his angsty characters and how he always makes the most bisexual character ever. He is a being of true chaos and incredible talent

most of this is just “liam o brien drop kicking you in the feelings”

Long have I waited for the day to come but its finally here, thank the everlight!

"Show me on the character sheet where the bad DM touched you!"

He's so poetic and funny at the same time he's amazing agh

A beautiful blend of comedy and tragedy

Loved it! Only missing one thing that is sorta niche, but I always loved it when Liam pushed for Caleb to take the rear at any point in C2, with his signature "Caleb takes the rear~" Underrated af I swear

The fact that Liam came up with the venom speech on the fucking spot blows my mind

The “you were not born with venom in your veins” speech gives me chills every time. ❤

i'm not ashamed to say liam's soliloquy as caleb in front of the graves of his parents is the sole inspiration for the way i crafted my druid character and the relationship she has with her lost family members

Surprised to see you've included my entry at 10:34 aswell. Thank you ❤ That moment meant so much to me...

I have such a crush on Liam.

10:09 reminds me of the voice that some haunt actors do in the haunt where i work

this vid is 50% meaningful quotes and 50% randomness

Damn I used to love watching a "Cuddlefish" compilation of Liam just doing that voice from multiple different videos....... Sadly I dont think that video exists anymore

Liam is so fucking good at monologues, I get chills watching Venom In Your Veins and the Book of Letters

“….mother…?”

the fact that "but ill go to work if i have to" didnt make it in shocks me

1:24 - I'm so used to that meme edit that, without the zoom-ins, it just seems... _weird._

Man, Liam really knows how to put a dagger³ through the heart.

You know, that "I was richer for having known you" is from a one-shot I haven't seen, because someone spoiled it for me and I'm not sure I could handle watching that shit. Hits me hard. But Liam's damn good at that

"...We're all tired. I'm tired buuuuuuuut I'll go to work if I need to" C2E36 23:06

There needs to be a follow up to this video that is just a compilation of Liam quoting musicals. 🤣

I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO!! I love Liam so much.

I really really want Liam to play a Bard from the College of Tragedy, he'd just kill it

Anyone else notice how Vox Machina is four british accents and three american accents... but then The Mighty Nein has a russian accent, a german accent, an irish accent, a texan accent, a vaguely european accent, a slightly minnesotan accent, a lesbian accent, and Nott, who was supposed to be cockney, but ended up just being shrill american.

Seeing marisha sit beside travis at the lives show is so funny because they look like cartoon characters with the size difference

"IT'S A MAGIC TRICK, A FISH TURNED INTO A CORPSE"

THANK YOU! I absolutely love Liam, so this is everything I needed as a coping mechanism for my stress.
