I will never not be astonished with how the mighty nein actually became nine considering it started as just a joke.

Travis staring at Laura and weakly saying, "You look beautiful," following her previous, "Hi, ba-by!" will always be peak marriage goals for me.

The way Matt says he hopes to say goodbye on his own terms, you can tell there is something else behind that sentiment. It's like he's just hoping so badly that it'll be a conscious choice they make together and not something they are forced into by unforeseen circumstances.

Sam wearing the silly tiger costume while Laudna and Imogen have THAT moment together is so Critical Role. And I love it.

You know, I never noticed that the endings of C1 and C2 were exactly the same. Sam says "what a nice story, Matt." And then Travis follows up with "Let's do it again." I'm sure the second time was intentional, but still. I really hope they continue that trend for the end of C3 too.

Travis looking at his wife walking in from an award show will never not be one of my favorite moments

"Makin' my way" and "it's been a while" have become ingrained in me so much that I just say them out of instinct without even thinking about it

I have binged C2 in its entirety twice now and hearing the closing monologue from matt makes me want to for a third time. Netflix and Hulu and any other streaming service can't measure up what I feel watching these people.

Ashley's face when the "you lied" scene. Soooo precious

Matt's heartfelt goodbye at the end of Campaign 2 gets me EVERY. TIME. Immediate waterworks. I feel so blessed to be able to watch along and experience these campaigns with them.

that speech from Sam about being thankfull for his friends is one i regularly come back to. Its so endearing to see him break the jovial character once in a while and pour his heart out.

I really appreciate you using footage from Between the Sheets. I understand why they took it down, but it was such an incredible and insightful series. Replacing shots of a certain person's face with topical footage was a good compromise, and seamlessly edited. Great video.

There's a reason Im addicted to this show. Trying to explain to people how emotionally impactful 8 people around a table, improvising an amazing story with no script or costumes or special effects can be.

Shiver and queef is one of my funniest memories of my life and it's not even a memory from my life. This cast is beyond words and their friendship is beyond any one story. Thank you for compiling this for all of us, much love

This has the polish of a professional documentary, amazing work!

"You need me ... more than I need you." I saw that clip and was so impressed with Travis' acting and decision making, and Matt's restraint, that I needed to know what led up to that and how it resolved.

@ 11:41 Ive always believed Matt gave Travis that kill purely because of the narrative beat and the double crit. He realized it didnt matter how many HPs were left. Its my flat out favorite moment of critical role. The croud and excitement from the cast fills me with energy.

Such a great compilation! In some comment I once read it said: "When Matt cries, I cry." This is 100% true. Thanks for bringing all those wonderfully emotional moments together!

18:35 all the feels on that response Matt gives. Matt is the kind of friend people want to be, and the kind of friend people want to have. That man just radiates warmth and love for his friends.

Matt with Jumanji Costco’s deadpan “will wonders never cease…” never fails to make me laugh until I cry 🤣

The "Don't go far from me" will always be the most impactful part for me of all time

Missing the bit from the Campaign 1 wrap-up interview when the cast is all listing off their favorite moments and Marisha remarks that they feel like real memories, and Matt points out that they really are real memories and experiences. That’s one of my favorite things about these kinds of role-playing games; even though the events only exist in your mind and on paper, the events and interactions are still things you can experience and remember as if they were real because you’re playing the characters and creating the story yourself.

This was gorgeously, lovingly made and absolutely captures what makes this group of people so special: their love for each other, their joy in storycrafting, held together by the mutual respect and and trust they share (along with a healthy dose of humor and heart). Thanks for such a fantastic reminder. :)

"Imagine if Matt Mercer was your first Dungeon Master ever" ... I know I'm not playing the campaign but Critical Role got me into D&D so technically he was and so far no one has reached his bar xD Also when Matt was asked about how he'll feel when he says goodbye to the camera that last time... I immediately started to tear up and i'm only on episode 64 of C1, I've got SO LONG to go but I can't picture Critical Role ever stopping.

During the kissing scene I heard Matt say, “Finish your scene.” What I felt was, “The internet is waiting!!!!”

You can see the toll Covid had on Matt, it might be dumb, but he looked much older in that C2 monologue than he does now. It's like these 2 Covid years took a LOT from everyone. Glad he managed to recover so well. I'm personally still recovering, as Covid basically cost me my 3 + years relationship (I'm from Canada, and I was with someone who lived just across the border, and we couldn't see each other for over a year because of the border restrictions, and unfortunately were unable to recover). Good things are coming, to me, and everyone out there struggling right now. Struggle isn't permanent, just keep your head up as much as you can, and you'll make it :)

Laura did a call back to the bug carrying bread in campaign 3.

No! I am not crying! These are just salty drops coming from my eyes… Girl! You made me smile, laugh, cry. I felt seen and loved! This video was made with love. ❤️

The worst part about this kind of video is that it is never up to date... Because the moments that make me fall in love with CR over and over again appear every new episode...

That "you lied" at 05:00 (shortly after) was like an icicle dagger stab through the heart. Such a powerful moment. And Matt breaking up into tears as the GM... IS IT THURSDAY YET?

14:47 "As it..." *explosion* *Marisha imagining the wildest queef of all*

To all of you guys, if you haven't already, I hope you find your own Critical role family. Don't forget to love each other ❤

Damn that was cathartic. I've never felt so fullfilled as when the end of the campaigns happen and you hear about the characters lives beyond the story that you grew to love them in. Just watching this brings all the memories back.

After the kiss, when they expected Matt to describe it, lol, he should have said, “How do you want to do this!”, to them. 😂

I just found these guys a few days ago and it's been some of the best days i've had in years... 💕😊

3:29 _That_ is the mark of a genuinely good DM: When your players are _cheering_ for your DMPC killing the boss and congratulating you for getting the HDYWTDT, then you're doing it right! Love these goofballs, the love they have for one another is so endearing

echoing everyone here, this video really fucking nails it! i know catching up is hard but I think it’s so worthwhile to watch (even just in part) if you liked everything you saw in this video

It makes me sad that between the sheets has been taken down and tainted by the actions of Brian when there are so many wonderful moments

I have watched each c1 and c2 three times and it is beautiful seeing the amazing things that are missed but you catch after watching it multiple times. I am convinced that these guys are some of the greatest actors of this generation and I am so grateful for their dedication to their craft

FUCKING SAM DRESSED AS A TIGER DURING THE IMODNA KISS

i really hope everyone at CR sees this I LOVE this, as someone who's only seen bits and pieces from C1 and C2 (and from both the beginning episodes) and really got into it with C3, this is so wholesome. They inspired me to start DMing myself and i can only hope to be deliver moments like that to my players.

I just cry every time they love on eachother and the community loves on them 😭😭😭 it’s so beautiful they are just pure people

This is so well made ❤

Oh man the Mighty Nein monologue always hits me so hard! I remember watching it live and I felt like my heart was being torn to shreds 😭

i just like 2 months into DND, and not even playing it, it was just started with me bored in my room while i dont have anything to watch. i found this show "legend of vox machina", 4 eps in and i was like "huh... very interesting show" youtube logarithm lead me to this channel critical role. straight up watching C3 just because i wanted to up to date. i was quickly hooked and watch it everyday. and then sam sponsor bit of nord vpn comes. "i have a group of best friends that plays a silly fantasy games together and turned into a business but really its just an excuse for us to keep hanging out forever" this. literally this moment i realise. is a very special show.

Just watching this group of friends laugh and cry together is just so fun to watch. I've only sparingly played dnd, but I think everyone would love to have the dynamic of these friends. Im glad that they have no plans of stopping anytime soon

I don't know what makes Matt's speech at the end of C2 more beautifully heartbreaking; the speech itself, the way he looks directly at his wife and she just nods to him and he almost breaks, or Travis's quiet little "let's do it again." These people have done something monumental, and I just hope they know how loved and appreciated they are for their storytelling, their characters, their worlds, just...everything. Their friendships are like none other. Liam's speech on storytelling and how we're reflecting it back on ourselves could not have been more perfectly stated. The emotions they evoke in us and in themselves and in each other are so raw and real it's insane. The moment with the entire crowd singing the theme song and all of their live on stage sessions are just glimpses into how much this show means to people, including them, and it shows. Their love for each other is unmatched. As a fairly new Critter, getting to know all the inside jokes like "Makin my way" is so awesome. Sam used the perfect word to describe Critical Role as a whole; Magic.

Everyone loves Matt. He's amazing and honestly has placed the bar really really high for DM's.

Matthew Mercer, you and your crew introduced dungeons and dragons to more people than probably anyone before that. Each and every week you, and your friends of nerdy voice actors, create magic for us people in the real world. It may not be as overt as Caleb Widogast's fiery web or Chetneys charm, but every week you allow us to escape to the world of Exandria for a few hours and captivate us with your story telling. Thank you for what you all do and keep it up!

This was very well made. Lovely vid.

That "You lied..." cuts sooo deep.

1:34 - HUG ME THROUGH MY WIFE! Love that bit!

0:40 that nod. These two are couple goals

The way that in the last clip Liam seems to almost collapse at the very end is heartbreaking.

Woof. Did not expect to cry and laugh and cry again, so happy to have watched this family grow over the years. So happy to be a Critter ❤🔥

So I never really watched crirical role. Ive seen clips, interviews, and compilations of these guys, but never like a full episode. My favorite thing about this is the genuine love and care this group has for each other

Extremely well done. You even did your best editing around problems! I know this video probably will make its way (making its way!) around the cast, because it's just that good of a reminder of the good they bring to each other, the community, and the world as a whole.

This is the story of how a groups of strangers became a truly loving family.

laura’s “if i could pull your blood from my veins and give it back to you i would. i want no part of you” changed the way i saw roleplaying in dnd and other ttrpgs. like deadass

Ashley's face at 5:00 was definitely my face while I was listening at work. I'm a guy. I work in a restaurant. It was dramatic 😂

These friends give me so much comfort and hope for myself and everyone else too. They’re my friends when I’m alone. I can always count on watching them to cheer me up. I hope they all know how much their friendships mean to everyone who gets to see it.

Some of my favorite moments: 1) "The leetle bloo tiefling is here to see you, ROO-BY!" "What?" ~ Jester to her mother, Marion, C2 2) "I sprinkle the cupcake with...the Dust of Deliciousness." ~ Jester, "The Cupcake Deception," C2 3) "I was holding on to that one for a long time. Eight years in the making." ~ Matt, after the table finds out it was Keyleth's mother Vilya on Rumblecusp, who had disappeared for 25 years, C2 4) "I rolled a dragon!?" ~ Ashley Johnson, after rolling for "Travel Events," C2 5) "I summoned this bitch, we're gonna end her!" ~ Ashley Johnson, fighting Gelidon, C2 6) "Welcome to the Mighty Nein." ~ Veth Brenatto to Essek, aboard the _Ball-Eater,_ C2 7) Percy reciting the list of family names to Desmond, C1 8) "What is my mother's name?!" ~ Scalan Shorthalt, C1 9) "Vox Machina, Fuck...SHIT...UP!" ~ Grog Strongjaw, C1 10) "Your secret is safe with my indifference." ~ Percy de Rollo, C1 11) "I could say 'turducken,' and you people would turn it into sexual innuendo!" ~ Liam O'Brien to Gen Con audience, C1 live-show 12) "I have passed through fire." ~ Keyleth, Voice of the Tempest, C1 13) "I've been angry for 30 years." ~ Keyleth, C3, to Orym 14) "Don't you even _dare."_ ~ Vax, to Otohan Thull, C3 15) "For... STRONGJAW!" ~ Grog Strongjaw, during "Airdrop Critical Finisher", C1 16) Percy's Resurrection, C1 17) "Is that...my baby girl? Is that my baby girl? _Is that my baby girl!?"_ ~ Scanlan Shorthalt, Ascension of Entropis, C1 18) "Pain doesnt make people. It's love that makes people. The pain is inconsequential. It's love that saves them." ~ Caduceus Clay, C2 19) "Sam! What the fuck!?" ~ Matt Mercer, upon Sam's jerrycan reveal, C3 20) Matt's campaign-ending monologue, Ep. 141, C2 Honorable Mention: "All right, what level do you Counterspell?" "Nine." ~ Scanlan Shorthalt, the moment he played to both outwit and defeat not one but two gods, and failed, C1

Wait what?! Watching CR content for nearly a year, and I never once realized LIAM IS FRIGGIN ILLIDAN?! Bro...I already loved that man, but now...how do you love someone more?!

I love how this video essentially is the first upload after 4 years on this channel, thank you for making it :)

11:59 this hits it perfectly, the way RP gaming makes the experience REAL and builds relationships...

Yup I knew this would be good when I, a grown ass man, was bawling my eyes out within the first thirty seconds! I will never forget the night I discovered CR; I went from knowing absolutely nothing about D&D and clicking on the D&Diesel video fully expecting to laugh at Vin Diesel desperately trying to promote his shitty budget fantasy movie. And by the end I'd basically forgotten that Vin Diesel was even there, completely enthralled by Matt's story and I instantly went looking for more. Spent the entire night watching random C1 episodes and moments, trying to figure out what was going on, completely obsessed; and I vividly remember crying together with the cast over a character, that I at that point literally knew NOTHING about, that had died. And that was when I knew I had found something truly special. Few months later C2 started and I've watched EVERY episode since. I'm hitting my 5 year subscriber aniversary in January and I only wish I could have given more back to these amazing people and community that has given me so much joy! Thank you so much for letting me relive some of the incredible feelings I felt that night and so many times again through the years. You really managed to capture so many of the aspects of the experience that makes Critical Role so incredibly special to me and I already know I'm going to come back to this one many times!

Thanks so much for putting this together anazing video

this makes me so happy, thank you for making and sharing ❤️❤️

this is so beautifully made, thank you!

Bro you got me tearing up at noon

The editing on this is phenomenal. Had me in tears multiple times. Well done ❤

Very well done. Great moments and lovely editing. Thank you.

I found Critical Role at episode 10 Campaign 1, I watched all of Campaign 1 6 times and Campaign 2 twice. This show has helped me endure some incredibly hard times. I think their friendships are something for all of us to strive for in our own lives. Thanks for Posting this video. HUGS to all :)

This was incredible thank you for making this.

This is a really good compilation. Thank you for posting it!

i love the skyrim music over shiver and queef

That is a smooth compilation, thank you.

Thank you for making this video!

This was a beautifully put together and edited video! Thank you for this ❤

You did such a good job putting this together! It's so sweet and wonderful and all the things that are great about the show.

This is cut together so beautifully! Thanks for sharing I think it's gotten me back into campaign 3

This whole thing brought some much-needed joy into my life. Thank you for this.

what a beautiful, heartwarming compilation, thank you for making this

So heavy. Thanks for putting this together. ❤

This was a very well put togeter video. Thank you for putting it together.

I'm on the east cost so when they stream it's always until like 2am and I always wake up the next morning regeting it but it's always worth it

This is such a well made video. There are some videos, shows, and movies that just give you a deep sense of nostalgia that you just want to keep watching again and again, and congratulations this is one of them. It made me reach out to my D&D group and let them know how much I care about them. Thank you.

Telling Matt one day he'll say good bye for the last time and seeing him immediately wrench over at the thought was heartbreaking. Matt does an impossible amount for the crew to really sink into and get into their acting, but often at just the right moments Matt does absolutely nothing for minutes at a time just letting the story be told through the flow of the players. Matt is truly one of the greatest DMs there ever was and will be

Such a good video, thank you!! Needed this

This was beautifully made, I love all the moments you picked and it made my heart melt, made me laugh, made me cry. I am so glad I found this community and this show.

This is amazing. Thank you so so much for making this🥲 The clips, the pacing and the ambiance is amazing! I hope this reaches the cast and more critters!

10:40 I burst into tears. I can hear mine & my friends voices. That was the best night. I miss the Gencon show so much. It had become tradition for our group.

Thank you for putting this together, you did such a fantastic job. What a fitting homage to this cast of weird, wonderful misfits who created this amazing thing.

The interview question got me. "One day You'll say goodbye, and that'll be it"

You can't LEAD WITH THAT CLIP, MY HEART

Thank you for this

This is so so so well done

This was a great compilation

This was so great!

This is amazing ❤❤
