When you picture this tiny gnome woman in plate armor giving that look to a towering goliath and him just shrinking back...there is something so ridiculously cute and adorable about it.

Pike casts Mom Look at 10th Level. There is no saving throw.

Grog: I fear no man... but that. *Pike's Mom Stare* Grog: It scares me.

I love Grog's little "Hupf... No, I don't..." I feel like this isn't the first time Pike has used the look

What can an 8 foot tall goliath do when your 3 foot tall gnomish friend is a monstah and gives that look? You comply.

Travis' reaction is so cute.

I love how much Ashley and Travis play off each other, and how Pike is basically Grog's mom/bff. It always makes me sad that we lose pike for long stretches

i love how she gives him a little, subtle shake of the head "no..." before pulling the alpha mom look. And then a few seconds later, Grog doesn't even make eye contact.

Grog can't stand up to the ladies in his life, for example Vex: I give him the Evil Eye Mercer: She gives you the Evil Eye Grog: It hurts, I put it back

No Nat 20 can save you from the Mom Look

"Sorry... my mom said I can't"

Grog's little "You be'h'ah promise" hurts my heart every time. Its so cute!

The immediate regret and fear in Travis' face is truly outstanding

dude he's like "alright sorry mum" XD

I love the fact that all the others are going "Do you really think that's a good idea?" and he's just going "Yeah!" but as soon as pike gives him that look, he does what she asks and even hands over his prized possesion

Didn't even need an intimidation check.

Pike: "I'm not mad, I'm just disappointed". Grog: "NOOOOOOOOOO!"

Their interactions are so sweet. Even in real life they have that big brother/little sister dynamic.

It's even funnier when you consider that her character barely comes up to his character's hip and then imagine this hands-on-hips stern-mother look instantly cowing him xD

Pike will remember that!

Just remember, Pike wasn't mad, just disappointed. Anybody else hear this line growing up?

A warrior, who has faced, dragons, demons and gods knows when the fight is futile

0:18 Ashlie does a little head shake before she uses the look.

I love this team's dynamic. Everyone works so well off of each other.

Pike has a standing instant nat 20 Mom Look

the Mom-force is strong with this one!

pike could turn tiamat lawful good with that look

This is gonna be an animated scene someday.

*GO TO YOUR ROOM GROG*

Ashley would make the best mom. She would be sweet, kind and supportive. When her kid is bad she’ll make sure to punish them properly, and they’ll be one of those kids who rarely gets in trouble with the teacher.

"It took a look from Pike" Top 10 best moments from the Campaign 1

Honestly I feel like most of the best moments in crit role 1 has pike involved. Like this and then the flash cards and then drunk pike and grog and then pike teaching grog the alphabet.

The mom look. I fear it. Stop look at me Pike I'll do whatever you want. Vax help.

god i have such a crush on ashley, she is just so adorable.

Don’t know how many times I’ve watched this but I have to rewatch it EVERYTIME it shows up on my front page!

I like how Pike rightly doesn't promise he'd get it back when he asks a second time

Her voice is just amazing for this role. They have a splendid chemistry aswell

*pike used mom stare* *rolls a natual 20* *grog give up kaldka head* *pike earns 900 exp* XD

Grog knows that there are some fights he can't win and this was one of them.

I don't think Grog is afraid of Pike, and I don't think she was disappointed. I think Pike's look at Grog was more of a, "You better not." And Grog realizing his recklessness could hurt his best buddy, which is why he immediately backed down. I highly doubt Pike would've done anything to Grog if he went through with it; except maybe run after him to give him heals and showing him he isn't just risking himself, but all his friends, when he's reckless.

Grog would have almost no moral compass if it wasn't for Pike. As a matter of fact, before Pike he only just barely had one and the one time he used it, it almost cost him his life. And ever since they've been traveling together, she's been the one that steered him on the right path (for the most part) to a point that even just the thought of disappointing her is enough to stop this 8ft tall hulking mass of muscles dead in his tracks and reconsider his actions. If that's not adorable, I don't know what is.

That Momstah look thou :D you cant ignore it even with nat 20 :D

The biggest reason C1 and C2 are so hard to rewatch. The absence of Ashley. Fortunately, her presence in C3 has been nothing but a blessing.

Pike is Team Mom confirmed

Shes the only motherly and sisterly love he's ever known. Hell yes hes gonna listen

She's a #MOMSTAH

Pike and Grog, best friends forevah

This is my favorite moment in the entire freaking show.

Still my favorite CR moment. Also, ale.

I feel for Pike and Scanlan’s kids

Even doty the robot with only 1 master has fallen victim to momma pike

Doty listening to Pike’s NO the first time… the whole table was shook 😂

disappointed Pike (Ashley) mom look will bring everyone to their knees. I mean.... who wants to disappoint Pike?

Good thing she didn't use the Chancla. No one survives the chancla.

Found the timestamp! Past 2:08:40

I feel like Grog is basically Pikes little brother

Mom said it's my turn with the severed head

Damn dude that’s some serious mom energy, it’s almost physical!

Damn she's a gorgeous mom

Ashley has to be a Mum that look comes with being a Mum

Ashely looks like such a mom in this scene, i love it :)

I cannot wait for the show to catch up to this

Aww, their relationship is so adorable!

So Grog is like a big dog and Pike like its little girl owner/friend

When she looked at him like that, it made me want to clean my room.

Wow, to think that the mighty Grog Strongjaw would actually submit to a tiny little gnome cleric.

He looks so uncomfortable! XD

ashley looked so attractive in that episode, unbelievable

I love Pikes and Grogs relationship

Pike rolled a Nat 21 on that look

animate this

Ashley as pike and tal just in generel are like the ultimate om friend ^^

I cant wait for this scene to be animated in the 2nd season

It's moments like this that kind of make sense why VM always seems to never come to an agreement on things: Pike is the anchor of order in their whirling storm of chaos.

cant wait to see that in the animated series

Momstah!

i was literally thinking about this 2 hours ago

Ashley pulled a Meryl Streep "Devil Wears Prada" look there...

I absolutely love this

this was sooooo great

savage.

I’m 22 and my mom gives me the mom look and I shape up lol

Mom look is +20 to intimidation

I have given this look to my friend group many times lol

Big Mom Energy.

I hope this goes in the animated series.

This is the look my mom gives me lmao

I love Pike and Grog they're so much like siblings.

That's a scary mom look XD

Happy Birthday Ashley Johnson

I’m sorry but this is the best thing ever for me partly because I’ve been in the position of grog and the same thing happened to me

Pike is the mom friend of the party.

Best scene

I wanna see this animated soooo BADLY

I got a little scared there for a second 0-0

And then they forgot all about the head and no one took it back.

Me: says anything My wife:

I was not too interested in their first campaign but I love Pike.

This reminds me of when Ashley was playing DJ's date on Rosanne and she intimidated all the guys, including Dan.

Still love this XD
