This is a parody song music video of "Like a G6" by Far East Movement.
Dungeons and Dragons belongs to Wizards of the Coast, whom I am in no way involved with. This is purely nerds being nerds having fun and honoring a game that has brought so much wonderfully lost time into our lives.
BOO YA.
Lyrics written by Connor Anderson and Zac Smith.
Video directed by Connor Anderson.
Starring Leslie Phillipsen, Connor Anderson, Zac Smith, and Aaron Mull.

Still great in 2023!!!
Just found this in 2023
I still have to open RUclips years later to listen to this anytime I hear "Fly like a g6" because it's not nearly as good as this, and it's not on Spotify.
Absolutely
True, 2024 baby
@@MarkMassengale that's true!!!
Ah man, 10 years later and *IT STILL SLAPS*
Roll a D6 has been my daughter’s fave song since she was three. She’s seven now and we’re playing D&D on Christmas Eve. Had to make a quick run to 7-11 because apparently it isn’t even D&D if you don’t have Twizzlers! 😂😂💕💕
DM not at the head of the table, what is this madness?!?
If I was DM and Leslie was in the party, I'd let her sit at the head too.
Girl trumps DM
*g*
I use to play with a DM who sat center on the side of the table.
Table sat 8, there were 6 of us. He said it gave him better access to the board and his materials which were kept in two rolling carts on either side of him. It was actually a pretty grest set up. Everyone heard and saw him clearly, made private communication easier, made cheating on a roll harder..etc.
He is a coke-head….
@@c_king1031 This is the reason I do it. Also, everyone is a lot closer to the GM, so you don't have to yell so much.
The only time I'll play a wizard is if the DM let's me describe that the wind is making my robes flow in the wind like a boss at every chance I get...
Tommy Wiseau Oh hi Mark
Original gamers DID use a D6 for "save against death or die" . " DM says you're gunna DIE - roll a d6" makes perfect sense -
not that it needs to for a fun song
I'm not sure if I'm hearing it right, but I'm deeply intrigued by the mention of the vacuum consortium at the beginning.
:35 Oh man, she pulls off the awkwardness of that kind of situation so well.
But why is it awkward? I never had a problem telling anyone what I was doing, whether they understood it or not.
This song never gets old and I will always call it the Song of my People!
Still here?
@@koryphae5087 i know you didnt ask but, I am
@@jace8706 Thats good
@@koryphae5087 :)
I make my players roll 2D6's during rests for random encounters just because of this song. 2 6's is a random deadly encounter without any benefit of rest. "DM says you're gonne die, roll a D6".
I feel 10 years too late to this. This needs to be one of those old videos that every starts to get in their recommended 8 years after it was up loaded.
I feel you. And this pre dates stranger things and all those D&D is cool now things, this is back before D&D was cool ;)
I still watch this crap all the time LOL
sameeee
@@ryanmackenzie4678 lol nice name bro
I remember when I was 7 my dad showed me this video!!
Having played since a previous century (the seventies) I just have to say: GIMME MORE! I love watching the Rules Lawyers and Serious Gamers get poked with a funny bone. C'mon folks, it's just a game!
The G6 song actually makes me sing this in my head. This is much better!
This song is great. I've been a fan for years. We listen to this during our gaming sessions, as it shuffles in with the LOTR soundtrack, Skyrim soundtrack, and others. What I DON'T get is why all the people in the comments below are trying to rip apart the lyrics and point out contradictions of the video in a FANTASY setting game. "She's a wizard wearing ranger clothes." Yeah, maybe she's a wizard and put levels in ranger in order to take the prestige class Arcane Archer? Maybe they have a homebrew campaign setting and that's how her wizard looks? Maybe there is a homebrew chart that you roll a d6 on to see if you are reincarnated as another PC? Maybe whenever you die, you roll a d6 to see what class/race you play next? Maybe it doesn't fucking matter because they made a kickass, fun song/video? Fuck.
+Cory Tennyson Clearly some people have a terminal case of NO FUN ALLOWED.
+Cory Tennyson If you were a wizard, why would you dress like a wizard? It makes you the biggest target on the board. Obviously, the first guy the enemies are going to target is the guy that shoots lightning.
+Cory Tennyson Love this song as well, by the way.
+Ryan Pratt I was quoting the ones complaining and nit-picking when I said that. I don't think anyone is bound to a certain dress code or image when roleplaying.
+Cory Tennyson they have another song making fun of this called "rolling now for real"
The amount of nerdiness arguing on these comments makes me incredibly happy. XD
Or sad how pathetic they are nitpicking....
Everything great
This song has broken Like a G6 for me. Every time I hear it, I manage to last one or two lines before falling back into this track. Which is highly amusing for those listening around me when I don't catch on that I've done it. They're talking about bottles to the head and I'm bellowing NECROMANCER RAISE THE DEAD!!!
This video change my way of Life about more than 10 years ago. Still in incredible shape until now. This is a real hidden gem of the Internet. Love this video with all my heart. ;-)
This is probably the most attractive group of people I've seen in a campaign.
+brickslap You need to find a different group.
You need to watch Critical Role.
You should see my group! It’s like a cat walk. Except me of course I’m distinctly unimpressive looking 😆
@@marcusdecull4473 🤣😂🤣😂 I have to say that was pretty funny but don't be so hard on yourself damn it!
@@jenniferrose1203 Maybe hes just being honest, im trying to become that honest as well xD Like, stopping with the "good looking" sarcasm!
It's been so long since I first found this video, and I still go back to it every time I'm getting myself hyped to play D&D. Thank you so much everyone who was involved.
Anyone else still watching this? I have been for years, it will randomly pop into my head and I’ll watch it over and over then not...until a year later when it pops into my head again...
Now that D&D got a revival this needs to be remembered
what do you mean a revival it never died
2024 and this still Fire!
This reminds me of my high school days so much. Oh nostalgia.
Anyone else think that they all multiclassed to bard?
Me
Ehh, why not take a few levels in Bard just for fun..? I mean, he did say, "I been playing for a while". Lol 😆
What if they are all straight bards performing?
Lol
tis the only explenation
This is friggin' awesome! Seriously - this is, like, the official national anthem of Nerddom. I have totally stayed up until five in the morning hacking up goblins, and nothing is more glorious than managing to lead my party yet again to victory; truly, this song is the perfect expression of just how much fun this stuff can be. Nicely done, dude, nicely done!
i dont know, i believe you have inner misgobliny.
The extreme lack of rolling d20's concerns me for their game
I KNOW RIGHT
2nd edition ftw
+WatchUsGameAndStuff Not all games are based on the terrible d20 system.
+WatchUsGameAndStuff Maybe I missed it, but at what point did they say they were playing DnD? It could be any roleplaying game. Dungeon World for example, is a fantasy role-playing game very similar to DnD, but which uses 2d6 for all actions in the game.
+Ryan Pratt I know they did it to fit with the parody which is funny, I was just making a joke but you're extreme lack of noticing what game they were playing in the video concerns me.... 0:58, 1:25, 2:07, 2:21, 3:07, 3:31, 3:41, 3:46, 3:52 ...if you want specific times or you can just simply enjoy the great video again.
Surprised this isn't more popular. You guys are some of the best, yet realistic looking nerds ever. About like if Hollywood chose some actors to play nerds.
My 4 year old loves the song. She sits in on our sessions.
Also, I think I have a thing for the dude in the glasses.
U and ur daughter are awesome
@@jasonakin1553 to think her daughter is already 11 and probably playing.
And it's still great in 2024!!!!!
Ok ok ok. I just got showing this tonight and it was told that one of my online buddies was in this. I have to say this is fucking epic. I just totally had a nerdgasm and I was like "OH MY GOD THIS IS AWESOME!"
I keep coming back to listen. It's a wonderful song.
I absolutely love this song. It hit my inner D&D player. 💕
Wow, it's been more than 10 years since we got this great tune.
2,000,000 views! And 6,936 arguments over whether he's a ranger or a wizard.....
Everytime, before i play. I still listern to this song.
This song just always make me smile when I listen to it! It's just fantastically fun! Congrats on almost 2 million views, guys! :)
367 people rolled a natural 1.
Just noticed: who STARTS gaming at 11:21 PM? I mean, even if you're doing a marathon all-nighter, that's like 5 hours of good gaming time after work, wasted.
people work til 10pm
It takes players five hours to finish their character sheets on game night, even though they knew about it a week in advance meanwhile I was up all night preparing the dungeon, but no they couldn't even be bothered to finish ONE DAMN SHEET.
At least in my experience anyway.
More importantly, who finally introduces the dragon encounter at 4am after 5 hours of gaming already?! They're gonna be there for a while longer! (Gotta respect the gaming marathon though)
That last one roll, when they all yell and throw hands in the air was like "Ok, saving throw of last man alive failed, party is dead"
Maybe if they spent less time singing, they'd get out of that one field in those 6 hours of playtime.
Then again, if my friends didn't talk about random shit, we'd be out of that dungeon by now...
I often ended up killing the quest giver out of fury. Raiding his house. Finishing the quest, then rerurning it to the questies wife or son. Then collecting ny reward, raiding the house, and leaving again.
I also punched many a bar wench.
Statiq That's some fury right there.
TheRainSnake #OrcBarbarianWithAspergers.
Every time we would play our shit would go completely off the rails and we'd end up in the most random situations because we were all retarded.
That's literally the description for my party. Like, every last word.
level 30? fighting goblins? why are you not battling greater wyrms!? you're already beyond epic level! you sneeze and kill goblin hordes!
Rutger Bontjes But they're epic-level goblins with character classes...
+Rutger Bontjes He's not fighting goblins, he's hacking them all up, Did you even Listen to the Song?!?! Ugh!!! ;p
+Rutger Bontjes The rest of his party could be lower level.
+Rutger Bontjes he's not lvl 30 fighting goblins.. he's level 30 fighting zombies.. for all you know he could be fighting encounter lvl 40 zombie dragons
Massive goblin zerg. 5 vs. 5,000.
Still listening in 2024
Still loving this song and use it in dnd sessions. Good times thanks for a great song.
Everyone in the comments keeps bitching about how you're supposed to roll a d20, how the "wizard"'s dressed as a ranger, and how the level 30 ranger shouldn't have to worry about a few goblins, but the greatest sin of all is the fact that they're playing 4th edition
Agreed. 4th edition is something I wish could be erased from history.
Lol. This made me laugh!
I refuse to acknowledge 4th edition exists
you dare say the worst edition the one we never speak and they dare play this is a sin that should never be done.
The original song this is based on had a line including something about a G6. It’s a pun 😂
Probably my only comment is that if they're rolling d6 that often, they're probably playing GURPS or something, not d20-based D&D.
I...If you're level 30, shouldn't you be fighting, like, Vecna himself and not some crummy zombies? O_O
from the sound of it the level 30 Ranger got bored while walking so he had the necromancer raise some zombie for blood sports while they traveled, then decided to step in after watching zombies flail around pathetically. basically they need a bard not necromancer to keep them entertained as they travel.
"I'm a lawful good level 30 ranger. There's this necromancer raising the dead and slaughtering peasant in some village. But I'm not gonna save them because I should be fighting Vecna himself and not some crummy zombies!" gr8 roleplay right there.
@@greg_gamer clearly the individual means it's odd for the DM to make that the enemy when they can just 1 shot them and get nothing from it
@@greg_gamer If you're a lawful good lever 30 ranger you will not just pass by the village. By this moment you're most likely to be one of the greatest heroes of all time like elminster. You will probably lead armies as a great general
Almost ten years and, when the original music played on the radio, I suddenly remembered this gem. Thanks...
I keep reading comments and wonder - wtf is your problem with wizard with the bow? She could be an elf and have proficiency, and that makes good point when your spells are depleted you should do at least something. Crossbow probably does a better job though but still hey - free proficiency for elves.
+Evgeniy Voevodin Long/shortbow makes no fucking sense. They take ability scores the Wizard won't have to use competently, occupy the hands, weigh more, and are more awkward to store. And that's only if you're playing in an edition where casters don't get unlimited cantrips/orisons.
Each week this song is played before my groups D&D game... invariably there is always a point where the GM looks at someone and tells them to roll a D6 because they are about to die... typically someone is doing stupid stuff trying to screw the rest of the team or otherwise derail the game through shear stupidity. (seriously... who asks the red dragon to light your fire so you can fry an egg? After the dragon has tracked your group down for stealing from it.)
This sounds like something one of my characters would do, I have a couple of smartasses in my set of character sheets.
+Jeremy Mason That's certainly something Belkar (from OOTS) would do. Out of badassy. But then, he is an almost-epic Halfling Ranger/Barbarian Caothic Evil, and the Sexy Shoeless God of War.
At the beginning of the decade D&D wasn't as accepted as video games. Look at us go.
Love this song they need to make a playlist so I can play it during my D&D games
"in the basement rollin' dice i'm a wizard"
bitch you have a bow, you're a goddamn ranger. fuck.
Ever heard of an Arcane Archer? :p
A wizard at rolling dice.
Way to show your durpy nature, Genius. Thinking too hard about something isn't your strong suit is it?
Jared Dake you say strong suit like being an expert at D&D is a career option.
Teh Durpinator Haha well with the way the world is going, it might be one day. I mean people can make how much money being badass gamers and even card game players like Magic: The Gathering? It's ridiculous really, but no one thought the IT guy would ever be anything more than a hardly heard of government or university personnel. One of these days... One of these days.
They have tiny candles ON THE BOOKS! NO!
Bwuahahahaha, love it! (Also, was I the only one not expecting the ranger's singing voice?)
really, still today I just listened like a g6 maybe 5 times but roll a d6 is what I really listen. For me this is the original song and not the other... still great many years after.
nerds everywhere must watch this video
To everyone who says, "Girls that hot don't play D&D" I say "I played D&D with a girl that hot." Keep hope, my brothers.
I know one who is the DM. (though to bad not that well :( ) :p
Fun fact.. in a drastic turn of events, I am now dating her. #oops :)
DUDE! auhshsahuashuashu
Hahahaha
I kind of want to know how this story turned out. Like did Lee get a happy ever after or did he have to find a new group!? Who knows!
Still a better lovestory than twilight.
my GM was cheering when he got to play this
I have been playing D&D with my dad ever since I was very little. I used to love this song, I would play it all the time.
With all these comments on them not rolling a d20. They're all easily epic tier. Wizard is rolling d6 for magic missile or fireball. No need to hit AC just throw damage.
I have such a huge crush on Leslie Phillipsen
Ah, this reminds me of way back when we played D&D using big, heavy books that had yet to be translated into Swedish and several pieces of A4 paper taped together to draw the map(s) on. The GM had a warped sense of humour which had us rolling on the floor with laughter (floor, because there was no table big enough for the complete map).
Men, 10 years after this is still epic
Anyone else hoping some networking expert out there will do a "Like a G6" parody like this called "IPv6"?
Your lack of d20s and mtn dew disturbs me
Every time I need to do a sound check on a device, this is what I play
This is a pretty bad choice for that there is tons of crackling in the audio and it is super lossy since it's been through 2 youtube format conversions since it came out
@@mattyryon yea I more meant do the speakers work yes no.
Crazy awesome.
In the basement rolling dice: I'm a wizard. Epic.
Who's Bardus 3D? Who's the Vacuum Consortium?
Chris Hennick This needs to be answered
@@stephenstrange6446 I am still looking for this answer!!!!
Asking the real questions ...... I wanna know
Hmm this is a hard choice, do I like roll a d6 or Never split the party more..
WOW awesome video 5 years after the fact :D funny seeing people who DONT know every aspect of D&D trying to complain... ya look silly
I love this song, and I listen to it a few times a week, usually. I still can't stop myself from saying "who is holding these arrows for an archer friend" after "I'm a wizard" and asking my phone/cat/ceiling "Who shoots lightning to the sky? Why?"
Where have I seen that level 30 ranger guy before? I swear he's been somewhere else...
I MUST KNOW
Am I the only one bothered by them playing a d20 system while singing about rolling d6's?
`??
weapons are a d4-d12 of damage. Most are a d6
And spells are often lots of d6's, especially in 3.5 Ed, because those are the only kind anyone has 20 of.
NikitaDarkstar It sounds to me like he made a random table based on a d6, if I had to come up with meaning to the song.
NikitaDarkstar It's because this is a parody of a song called "Like a G6". I am also currently too drunk to remember how to do links in markdown...so...go search it.
NikitaDarkstar I'm sure most of us know the roll should have been a d20 but that just doesn't rhyme as nice.
that moment when your lightning only does 1D6 "O_O Help...me..."
This video always brings a smile to my face. Definitely rolled a crit on this one.
1.8 million views NERDS UNITE!!!!!!!!
Absolutely hilarious!
"I can't really bail on it."
Ha.
They're playing 4th edition D&D, which goes to level 30. Rangers are spell casters in older editions, though they are not in 4th edition unless you take Rituals.
We put this song at the end of each D&D session when getting Xp and leveling up. :)
We play it at the beginning of each Game :)
She says she's a wizard but she's dressed as an archer...
every wizard must have a bow
Could be a Wizard/Ranger hybrid. :p
Do all wizards wear robes and pointy hats? Don't be a wizard bigot.
Who is the hot blonde next to the DM?
Makes me wish that I hadn't grown old and ran out of freetime. I love your video and the song is great. Hold onto your d6 for as long as you can.
Ezerhauden (D&D 0E since '79)
I love the song, but the video has always bothered me. Everyone latches onto the wizard with a bow, but nobody mentions the fact that there are 5 people at the table one of which is the DM. And then the party has 4 members, but one of them IS the DM. WHO IS THE FIFTH PERSON!?
DMPC
+Antilles0413 The fifth person is playing the DM as a character in-game...
+Lênon Kramer At 2:00 you can see the in game party. From left to right, Dwarf, Ranger, Arcane Trickster and Wizard.
At 0:41 you can see the actual players. From left to right they play as the Dwarf, Ranger, Arcane Trickster, Wizard and unknown. The wizard is also the DM, as evidenced by the first verse where he sings the part of DM, as well as the fact that the DMG is open in front of him and presumably hiding his notes and dice rolls.
Unless what you're saying is the fifth person is playing the DMPC instead of the DM, which while possible is a bit convoluted for a video that doesn't explain things, that still leaves my original question unanswered.
Near as I can tell, the fifth person is just sorta...hanging out and watching.
I heard the Vacuum Consortium sucks...
372 people stepped on a d4.
ROTF...Can't stop laughing! I'm crying! :-D
(Been there -- barefoot!)
So I watch this the night it was released I watched again tonight and much respect that is simply amazing and it still is good as the first time I saw it
Cool song, but I am confused, why roll a D6 to steal a wallet?!
DM had us roll a D6 to see if we could poke a troll. We ended up punching him in the eye.
Because "Roll a d20" doesn't rhyme as well. Artistic license, plus... if the DM says "roll a D6" then man, you roll a D6 :)
Late reply, but something else is with the original D&D you rolled a D6 for everything.
was that Chainmail? I have some pretty old versions and they all use multiple dice. Just curious what version that was.
Older editions used a wide range of dice. For example, in the most classic one, AD&D, you were rolling D100 for thief skills.
But the plain answer to your question is: This is a parody of a Far East Movement song called 'Like a G6'. I think it answers everything...
D&D/Fallout/Skyrim motto: Buy nothing, just kill them and take their stuff
+Ian Adair i'm going to go out on a limb and guess you're not a paladin. lol
funny comment though😂
Ian Adair so I am guessing you know the looting song.
can't say I do
F!@K that & give me 20 ;)
I still love this song and video.
If your lightning only deals 1d6 you should get better lightning
+Michelle Slay Story of my life last night! XD
That's why they say, "roll a d6" over and over.
Bitch dont be ashamed. Be like "Im playing D and D!!!" Shout it loud and proud!!
wizard ---> has arrows ----> what
well she is a ranger and like a paladin or a cleric rangers have spells also do u even read all pages of the rule books
No, she is not, the lyrics say "I'm a WIZARD"
Now in what world do you live in that denies a Wizard from using a Bow if they don't want to use their magic.
it's normal.
wizards usually carry ranged weapons in case they run out of spells.
Vitor Santo wizards/mages can't use bows. Most they can do is use a staff. And at one point she has a shield/ buckler. Can't do that either. Mages and wizards also can't use any type of armor or bracers. They can only use cloth.
2024 and this still rocks!
"I'm a wizard" she says, clearly wearing an archers outfit.
+Commander5AM Perhaps she's a wizard and put some levels into ranger in order to be an arcane archer? Sheesh...
+Cory Tennyson arcane archer was what I was thinking
What Arcane Archer if they are playing 4E o_O?
Cool video but "real" gamers drink Mountain Dew :P

Still awesome and rockin ten years later. Gee, I wonder what they're all doing now???
We just wrapped up a session :D
