My favorite comment about this scene I've found has been "A man with an American accent doing an impression of a german accent doing an impression of a man with a texan accent whos doing an impression of a British man doing a texan accent"
Man, most of us can't even do an accurate foreign accent. Can you imagine playing someone with a foreign accent trying to mimic a different foreign accent? I think my brain would explode.
Now it's a professional voice actor doing an accented character mimicking other characters doing accents that are voiced by other voice actors doing accents
So, little story from my dnd table. Most of us speak fluent english and german, but we play in german for some horrid reason. I am pretty decent at accents in english, but awful at doing any while speaking german. Ive spent the past few weeks trying to figure out how to do a welsh accent in german,, and honestly i dont know where this story is going,, but--
The best example of this is Mel Blanc. Mel Blanc played Bugs Bunny and Daffy Duck. There is an episode where he played Bugs, doing an impression of Daffy, and Daffy doing an impression of Bugs. Imagine doing that and having both voices sound different. Amazing.
Funny story: I'm from Germany and was playing D&D with friends. We are playing the english version because we agreed, that the german version has some cringe translations. Most of us can understand and pronunce english words rather well (compared with the clishee), but it's difficult, if we don't know the word. A friend (new to D&D) was playing a Bloodhunter (with the subclass, that gets Warlock spells) and chose Eldrich Blast as a cantrip. Later, we played and she used the cantrip, pronuncing it like Caleb did. Me and one friend (also watching Critical Role) couldn't stop laugthing. Our poor friend didn't know what was going on. It was hilarious. (Sorry for my bad english)
I will always adore Nott's "So you were lying. So clever!" She really is just that mom with the bumper sticker on the back of her van that says in giant letters 'MY SON IS AN HONORS STUDENT'.
ok so, quick story. i’ve been sobbing over this for 5 minuets, my boyfriend has a german accent and it comes out more when he’s upset, long story short our friends put him in this situation and we’re trying to get him to do an american accent and it sounded so much like how caleb mimics jesters accent, and his grammar was all messed up too aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
It's been years since this episode aired, and I'll still just sometimes randomly think back to Caleb saying "El...el ...elteritch bljeeeaasst", and then spontaneously burst out laughing.
this is AMAZING lmao, the devolving art style of caleb as he trys harder and harder on eldritch blast, and all their expressions, gods this is freakin gold.
Honestly, doing another accent poorly while still being recognizable WHILE trying to maintain a completely different accent to stay in character is a pretty impressive feat
God the animation choices in this are fucking GOLDEN!💀 Caleb’s eyes flying off his face, Caleb becoming less detailed and more silly when the becomes stuck/clueless, 🤌
I'm absolutely WHEEZING. All the characters and their respective entrances (Fjord T-Posing, Cadeuces entering from the mist, Beau wheezing into view Yasha chilling in the back) were amazing on their own, but how you drew Caleb as he attempted all of their accents? Crouching down to Nott, sparkling with Jester, slowly getting more meme worthy with Fjord, looking like he's super sleepy with Caddy. (Also all their character designs are so amazing and gorgeous omlllll) New favorite CR animatic! Have a great summer (or winter, respectively) and Is It Thursday Yet?
I just want you to know that this is, and will remain, my favorite CR video of all time. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched it, and I laugh like an idiot Every. Single. Time. The way the animation gets worse with the accent is just so damn funny, it’s amazing. Impeccable comedic timing, spot-on expressions… basically, I just love this video lol
I like hearing him crack and laugh at himself near the end. I like to imagine that at a certain point during this Caleb realized it was funny and started laughing too ^^
Okay, so, I know he was trying to be Caleb doing a Fjord accent, but it ended up as Borat. Thank you for bringing more selective attention to this scene, it is great.
I've watched this so many times and it still brings tears to my eyes - the expressions, Caleb's eyes literally leaving his face when he says 'sooooo' and the closed captions and just *chef's kiss*
The animation....from 1:00 to 1:05... Is so amazingly funny... I love the de-volution/pride on Caleb's face so much I want a perminant flip book by my side
I swear to the fucking elder gods i have NEVER in my entIRE LIFE LAUGHED LIKE I DID TO THIS YOUR ART IS SO GREAT AND IT ADDED SO MUCH LIFE TO IT THIS WAS SO PLEASANT IVE LITERALLY WATCHED IT LIKE 9+ TIMES IN A ROW THANK YOU
Oh God, GREAT job here. I can honestly say the drawings add so much to the comedy How they get rougher and "worse" at certain peak moments And the faces and change in quality when Caleb says eldritch blast lmfao 😂 😂 😂 Amazing job
1:01 THE INCREASINGLY SIMPLE STYLE CHANGES MADE ME FUCKING CRY............ THE LITTLE SMILE AT THE END WITH NOTT'S DISSAPOINTMENT........... I LOVE THIS
I wish I could like this video 100,000 more times. The phonetic captions, the animation devolving for comedic effect, the 4th wall break. It's all amazing.
Doing two accents at the same time is *incredibly* hard!! Once a long time ago, I was keeping a "slight" Scottish accent going for most of a workday, and tried to speak Spanish to a co-worker... I think something broke in my brain for a couple minutes...😅

Thanks, I hate it
This calls for a chart
Accent-ception
we have to go deeper
That's like so many layers of accents
👌Eld-👌Elteritch 👊Eltricht... bljeeeaasst :^]
Oh I - J ljke tjo swjallow swjords
At 1:05 he looks so pleased with himself
So that's how you pronounce it
:)
And here we see Caleb, slowly devolving into Borat
You know that this means canonically Fjord actually says "eldritch blast" every time he casts it
Travis actually confirmed that Fjord does in fact shout ELDRITCH BLAST on a Talks Machina
He's such an anime main character
Eldritch blast does require a verbal component so.....
Fjord = Naruto character.
@@Lukos0036 or FMA, he did voice Mustang, lol.
"Aye am a littel gooblaaan."
"Ooooh boy."
I had closed captions on and the best part of this video is when the captions read: “I like to Sjwallow Sjwords”
Ij ljike tjo sjwallow sjwords
Thank you for giving me access to further joy.
@@Zekaz_Nohea + Ditto
@@Zekaz_Nohea the captions are always a gold mine!
I love how he gets progressively worse drawn as he says eld-elt-aeltdrisch blaaaaeeeeessss
And then just the little :} after that

@@abaddonarts1129 _while_ technically being able to do it more accurately than he is doing, because he's setting it canon that his character can't.
It's just accents all the way down

I love how Caleb progressively regresses into a child’s refrigerator drawing
"My god is so cool you guys"
*eyes are forcibly removed from chat*
I love all of caleb’s expressions as he sinks deeper into trying to say the accents! love this, it’s so funny!
the fact the drawing loses quality as he says eldritch blast just about killed me.
El eltritch, eltritch… blaaeeest.
Eyldryich /bläæest/
Caleb’s little c: KILLS ME
"Ooooohai. I am....eh loving pastries. And also, my godt iss sooo coolyougais..." PERFECT

your English is fine, dont worry nor apologize
Good English! Better than me, and I'm American!
I know this is an old comment but seriously, your english is better than a lot of people I know.
Don't worry about it.
I’m kinda curious what some of the translations were now 👀👀
@@cormorantcolors trust me, you don't wanna know.
*I am a loving pastries*
She Sure Is

1:05 is my favourite frame by FAR
He looks so proud of himself it's precious
Caleb is a precious boy and needs to be protected
I’m cackling like an old witch rn
1:01
I love how the drawing quality deteriorates each time Caleb attempts it! 😂
oh my god this is my favorite animatic of all time I literally died when Fjord t-posed into frame jesus christ
The changing styles makes this 10x funnier, I love it
I love how vivid Caleb’s German accent is, you can tell Liam worked on it a whole lot and now it’s perfect! Liam is such a good voice actor
The way the art slowly deteriorates and springs back... very good
This is THE BEST. I love you, and I love fjord t-posing into the scene
0:30
It's all fun and games until Fjord T-poses into frame.
It then goes back to being fun and games when Jester steps out of a rip in spacetime.
“ohh, hai. i am, lovingk..pastries” NEVER fails to get me
My face hurts from smiling, Fjord's embarrassment is palpable akcjdjc
My face is so red from holding in my laughter I’m with my family right now they’re gonna think im having a stroke
this is AMAZING lmao, the devolving art style of caleb as he trys harder and harder on eldritch blast, and all their expressions, gods this is freakin gold.
I love the changing art styles, it's so expressive. This was one of the funniest moments in the campaign
Honestly, doing another accent poorly while still being recognizable WHILE trying to maintain a completely different accent to stay in character is a pretty impressive feat
God the animation choices in this are fucking GOLDEN!💀
Caleb’s eyes flying off his face,
Caleb becoming less detailed and more silly when the becomes stuck/clueless,
🤌
Fjord saying "I don't sound like that!" held more meaning than any of us knew at the time. Lmao

E M this is for real the best comment I ever have or will receive. I would die for you. Thank you so much!!!
this is incredible and I can’t emphasise enough how much i love the nott at 0:55
Lmao wow, Nott there is a Whole Mood
A character losing all their details to express an emotion is my new favorite thing
*My Got is, my goat is, my got is soooo cool you guyyyyss*
I loved that Fjord "loaded" into the scene in a neutral model pose.
this almost reads like a taz skit... like ‘eildreeeeetch blaaaayst’ is so Griffin taking the piss out of his players
The deterioration of reality as Caleb sinks further
I just want you to know that this is, and will remain, my favorite CR video of all time. I can’t even tell you how many times I’ve watched it, and I laugh like an idiot Every. Single. Time.

Liam as Caleb as Jester is just wonderful.
The devolution of Caleb as he says "Eldritch Blast" is so good
*Älltritsch **_Blääähhst…_* 🤣
It never fails to make me laugh.
OMG FJORD T-POSING. Great job with the animatic btw. All oh the expressions loooks beatiful.
with scenes like this you almost forget how much this show breaks our heart
I've watched this so many times and it still brings tears to my eyes - the expressions, Caleb's eyes literally leaving his face when he says 'sooooo' and the closed captions and just *chef's kiss*
God the animation style changing while caleb says eldritch blast absolutely KILLED me
"This counts as a long rest right?"
Killed me!
Caleb may have been a depressed string bean alot of the time...but once in a while he'd destroy your guts with laughter.
one of my favourite things about this is how supportive everyone is about the accents until he says eldrich blast when nott is instantly like "NOPE"
It’s like an accent on top of an accent - a double-decker accent! XD
Hee. I really liked the changes in style. How Caleb degrades when he's doing poorly.
Nice work!
The beau wheeze gets me everytime. I want that face tattooed
The animation....from 1:00 to 1:05... Is so amazingly funny...
I love the de-volution/pride on Caleb's face so much I want a perminant flip book by my side
this is one of my fav animatics now im crying. i love how expressive this style is
also can we talk about how cute that cad is? soft....
1:01 I love how the quality just dwindles, omg
I swear to the fucking elder gods i have NEVER in my entIRE LIFE LAUGHED LIKE I DID TO THIS YOUR ART IS SO GREAT AND IT ADDED SO MUCH LIFE TO IT THIS WAS SO PLEASANT IVE LITERALLY WATCHED IT LIKE 9+ TIMES IN A ROW THANK YOU
0:47 made no sense but I understood it anyway
My favorite callback was Caleb saying the thing when they’re trying to figure out if he’s possessed.
Did fjord just T-posed his way thru this conversation
UR CADUCEUS IS SO SOFT LOOKING I ADORE HIM
Cad's facial expressions kill me. I love it so much :'))
The subtitles add another amazing layer of chaos too this
Fjord displaying his dominance by T-posing into the scene...
I love how Caleb gets derpier every time he does one.
Whoever did the subtitles, hats off, 'swjallow swjords' was a beautiful addition
Fjord's face scrub is CATHARTIC....
Oh God, GREAT job here. I can honestly say the drawings add so much to the comedy
How they get rougher and "worse" at certain peak moments
And the faces and change in quality when Caleb says eldritch blast lmfao 😂 😂 😂
Amazing job
I love that ford t-poses into the scene
i hope you know that when im having a bad day, its become routine for me to watch this to feel better
the style getting less and less coherent has caleb keeps trying is kILLING ME i love this
I love that Fjord just slides into the shot while t posing 😆
"This counts as a long rest, right now" 🤣😂🤣
The closed captions on this are top-notch
1:01 THE INCREASINGLY SIMPLE STYLE CHANGES MADE ME FUCKING CRY............ THE LITTLE SMILE AT THE END WITH NOTT'S DISSAPOINTMENT........... I LOVE THIS
The captions made this 50x as hilarious.
I wish I could like this video 100,000 more times. The phonetic captions, the animation devolving for comedic effect, the 4th wall break. It's all amazing.
i love how they just go from detailed to VERY conceptually Simple
The "T" pose entry nearly sent me!🤣🤣
Glorious. Wonderful. Magnificent. The art is so expressive. Calebs eyes just flying off his face sideways, pure majesty.
Holy shit, this was actually so funny.
Like, Liam doing accents was funny, but every single frame of this is GOLD
I just noticed that beau in the corner at 0:40 is similar to what matt looks like in cami cats "3 way boulder parchment shears" animatic
fjord T-posing his way onto the screen was such a mood
I absolutely lost it when Fjord t posed in
when im sad i think about his little :u) face at 1:05 and my day is a little better
Fjord t-posing into frame is DESTROYING my obliques
I like how Fjord just T pose into frame
There it is, the unequivocal best Mighty Nein animatic of all time.
Doing two accents at the same time is *incredibly* hard!! Once a long time ago, I was keeping a "slight" Scottish accent going for most of a workday, and tried to speak Spanish to a co-worker... I think something broke in my brain for a couple minutes...😅
I keep coming back to this video every few days 😂😂 kills me every time
These facial expressions are AMAZING the eyes boggling out with Jester impersonation was so hilarious!!!
0:14 Error, Caleb.exe has stopped working
Dude I love how the detail changes sepending on the mood of the character talking! Its like I see something new everytime!
Every few weeks I keep coming back to this video I just can’t with this it’s the best thing I’ve ever seen
100% worth watching with closed captions
I love how every time he tries to pronounce eldritch blast the quality in which he is drawn decreases.
Much like Shoocharu, I love that this osolates between Very Detailed to Scary Sentient Stickman
