The way Murph says ‘we fixed this though. We fixed this though.’ kills me every time. Just total unhurried desperation, so relatable.

PIB is out here gaslighting, gatekeeping, catbossing

Murph is REALLY dialed into this character. Like the conversation he has with his wife in the flashback was… sheesh

“2-3 years???” “An amount of time that is not upsetting to a cat 🙃” 😂😂😂

Murph especially was on fire this episode, I think the heightened stakes of the horror vibe makes the moments of levity so much funnier

‘Sometimes it feels like theres not one real beggar in these lands’ is such a hilariously raw sentiment for this setting, knowing that while there is economic social difference, its as likely the person you offer charity to becomes a witch or djinn or beggar

Honestly my favorite part is that Lou is using almost the exact same voice as swifty from A Crown of Candy despite how much he hated him

For me the funniest part was when Brennan spent a long time explaining in detail this extremely gross wet scary lump in the carriage w/ Siobhan. Then he turns to Murph and is like, "...so, do you wanna introduce your character?".

Is it just me or is Murph putting just a touch of Kermit in there

Somewhere in gerard's castle is one of those cheesy signs, but instead of 'this too shall pass' it's actually "This is temporary"

Brennan and Lou LOSING IT from 14:50 to "chaotic entitled" is just EVERYTHING

11:25 Zac's "hey-ee" once more proves he is the king of one word retorts - he knew the ramifications for Lou saying that immediately, and Pib being an experienced liar would know it was a problem. Gosh this gang is talented.

i am always unsure when rosamund said "that's terrible. you're married?" the greenleigh whether she's commenting the fact that he's married or that his wife is missing

Emily saying, "You play bridge, that's what my grandma likes." had me in stitches.

I didn't quite notice it on my first watch but there's a masterful bit of DM/player cooperation at around 3:30 when Murph rolls a Cha save vs. trying to catch the fly. Brennan doesn't actually say that Murph failed the save, he didn't directly compel any action from the character even with a failed save. He just mocked the result and then very strongly implied what the character wanted to do, then Murph picked right up on it and went for the fly.

ally and lou cuddling into each other in fear at 16:20 is fuckin adorable

that's why they build castles!!! ...that's why they build 'em.

Pib may be the most oyama-esque character zacks ever played and I'm here for it.

I love Zac/Pib just telling pinochio that he's the one person who knows he's not the prince of shoeberg

The Pinocchio v Stephan bit was so funny man

Murph and Siobhan (sp) meeting for the first time was just pure comedy gold

I admire so much how completely dialed in they all are into their characters, but Murph especially plays Gerard in such a genius balance of hilarious, bearably intolerable, and genuinely compelling👏

0:46 Again, Siobhan is too underrated. Her jokes are genuinely too smart and subtle. The way her very slight difference in intonation makes you understand she's thinking "oh that's terrible, you're married" instead of "oh that's terrible. You're married ?"

I think my favorite part about 17:47 ish is how Ally immediately busts out laughing because of the face Brennan pulls. Like they know him so well and the characters he makes for one off jokes it's just funny before it happens, and then Brennan does not disappoint

I love that with Pib Brennan rolls for gaslighting and fails

Stephan's fearful chuckle of "you're gonna die" is so funny somehow; something about Brennan's delivery sells the character so well!

The fact that the "rrright?" at the end of Murph's flashback didn't make it devastates me. Like admittedly it's a sad moment so it's fair, but at the same time the little frog ribbit affectation he adds to it?? I love murph he's so excellent

"Lord Bainbridge, stephan is being crazy out here"

My personal favorite was The Gander saying “I put it on myself!!”

I love Neverafter so much because Lou, once again, proves his willingness to commit to the bit.

There's something incredibly comforting about the return of short-haired Murph with glasses. I felt like I didn't even know or recognize long-haired Murph with shades. It was a novel shake-up for a season, but for me, Murphy Prime is and always will be the Murph that looks like Michael Douglas in a prequel set 30 years before the events of Falling Down...

I wish you had added when Mother asks the goose if it put the bonnet on itself. I think I watched that two or three times over and died every time.

Mental image: blood hunter gerard and his rolls are to keep his frog tendencies at bay

Ally starting to laugh at whatever cursed animal was coming out of the woods before Brennan even described it was perfect. This crew knows each other so well. 😅

I was in shambles when I first heard Brennan's voice for the featherless ostrich. Pure hysterics

As tragic as it is, Gerard's scene in the banquet hall just had me thinking of Queen Caramelinda in Ep1 of ACOC. "IN THE BANQUET HALL? FOR REAL?" Just a very prim and proper lady getting not even four words into a sentence before shenanigans start happening.

Timothy grabbing bainbridge and hissing “im a cursed man” is already so funny, but the way Ally whips their head around at 8:20 kills me even more

11:27 I love this moment, because it’s clear that PIB recognizes the mistake Pinocchio is making, like some sort of advisor-y thing

every time lou wails as pinocchio i cry laughing

I love Emily's character this season. She's so fucked up and strange.

Gerard is an instant favorite, I hope he never dies

i’ve never consistently laughed harder at murph than in never after

Watched NeverAfter at the first opportunity on dropout. Watching compilations like these helps the wait for the next episode to drop XD

Ngl unfeathered ostriches was something I missed and god am I distrubed

really enjoyed the prince of shoeberg bit. the way lou is just cracking up the whole time

Did I finish the episode and immediately search for a compilation? Perhaps. Thanks for this!

"oh thats TERRIBLE, you're married!" god bless Siobhan

‘I’m a cursed man’ 😳 Gets me everytime 😂

17:50, Ally didn’t even need Brennan to describe the ostrich to know something insane was about to walk out of that forest, just seeing the look in Brennan’s eyes said it all.

Scaly unfeathered ostrich is so upsetting to me

oh god who let ally have silvery barbs. now I have to watch this season just to see Brennan's designs fall apart to dice trickery

Pib Gatekeep gaslight gurl bossss

loving the murph appreciation in the comments

the hat foreshadowing…the orange hat fairy is waiting in the wings

Lou hiding behind Beardsley whilst Brennan is describing the least-gruesome aspect of the campaign will never not be funny to me. Emily's character as a wolf; blows her whole family away = scary. A psychopathic god-like big-bad that snapped off your nose, manipulates you into doing her bidding AND happens to be your stepmom = Okay, but HOTDOGS!

the way murph shouts "COUSIN" sounded exactly like The Bear, and now I wish that continued with them just shouting cousin constantly

"Our whole thing is over" is one of my many favorite d20 quotes

I think at some point while watching this I realixed that I was high

Can't wait for next episode

I never want to watch a season where Lu and Ally aren't sitting next to each other ever again. The two of them next to each other is a joy.

My god that whole exchange starting from 14:48 just radiates with so much chaos, they can't stop each other fm cracking 😂

ally's ''HIYAHH'' kills me every time it's so good

3:30 and 16:26 Lou's horrified gasp/laugh!

Murph is so underrated

Ive been on a little slump with neverafter so ig now i gotta go watch it to watch these without giving myself spoilers 😂

the stephan bit i think is made so much better by the fact that its one of the only times theyve played a nat 1 properly in my opinion. The players obviously know its a nat 1 but the characters dont so they should think the bad info they got is actually correct and should act on it. e.g. in acoc when they got nat 1s on the hay bale and thought it was full of enemies they kinda laughed and brushed it off. I understand why cos it would be annoying to deal with but its too funny when they do

“im a cursed man” is one of the funniest thing s ive ever sene oh my god

Murph is my favourite this season

I forgot about the ostritch

Scaly, unfeathered ostrich….. so like…. A DINOSAUR? I wanna pick berries with a dinosaur!!!!!!!!!!
