Crossover episode: Chaz calls Justen. Chaz is drunk and it's before noon. Chaz starts telling Justen about his shrink ray idea and how he and Fendel built it and it worked. Justen (as usual) is incredulous.
If you gotta advertise for a sponsor, this is the way to do it. Props to Krakenships for giving the crew enough free reign to produce it in a way that feels enough like a normal Edition to still be entertaining
Did you check their site though? The EU site is a dead link, the AU site has a notice that they're closing in January, and the Americas site only has 17 items (plus one option to bundle from the other items). Of the items they do have, there are only three races. I will say that the minis they do have are well designed. I couldn't verify whether there's a minimum purchase for free shipping, as they do not show shipping on the checkout screen, free or no. I'd have to enter payment info to go any farther.
I disagree. Ads of any kind are bad and need to go away forever. When ads are in the beginning of youtube video we can at least skip them. but when an entire video is an ad, that just sucks. Ad blocker extensions for internet browsers exists for a reason. i wish they existed for tv and radio as well.
Strong disagree. The jokes for the setup wound up being ruined because it's trying too hard to push the sponsored product. Freezingfire says it right - the whole video should not be an ad.
I think this is great! It's a dnd themed show being paid by a company that supports and is supported by the dnd community. There is respect going both ways and we get the Benito's for free. Man shorts even respects us enough to make it entertaining. They gotta pay the bills and I'm all for it!
@@MTSDfreezingFire Not sure you entirely understand how sponsorships and/or ads work and why they exist. People don't just spend hours every day to create content that is free of charge purely for your viewing pleasure and if they do, you're not the ones they rely on to continue doing so. Yes, everyone hates ads, but lets think a bit more abstract than just me me me and how it only relates to you in the scope of everything else that actually goes in to play.
Is it weird that I thought, “Huh…so that’s what their knees look like!” Love the green screen work. I never realized how much fun ‘Honey, I shrunk the nerds’ would be!
I always enjoy Sunday mornings. Start making the kids breakfast, then in the middle of cooking i get a notification and totally lose focus for the next 20 minutes
If Wailin is a Monk, why is he allowed to come strapped with THOSE GUNS!! Wouldn't Lance have needed to use his second action to pry the axe away from Juste....er......the Miniature?
This was pretty funny despite basically being a commercial. Neat to see you all try your hands at the old "high production value" special effects. The shrinking was very convincing
Ok so with that kind shrink ray I expect to see Hobbes over his shoulder telling him this is a bad idea. Also I'm surprised that Sarah didn't cast an acid spell instead of fire if she wants to be different
Thanks for the episode. I hope you all get more views and subs. My D&D group stopped using minis because of Covid. We started playing online. But I miss the use of minis, real dice, and the table top. Excellent episode.
Knew since chaz hasn't been seen on drunk before noone he was about to come up with something. The zoo didn't work out but the shrink ray looks like a success
As someone who spent my adult life in the tech side of the entertainment industry, and has directed and edited many commercials, what can I say? This is one of the best commercials I've seen!
I love it, going back to the basic and roots of D&D. I was kind of missing this from the man shorts. I was secretly wondering when you would actually go to this Edition. And this episode, didn't disappoint either.
I proudly avoid any advertisements and influence of the media...thanks to you guys I've bought cereal, dice and now I have to go look at minis. You are all evil. Well done.
Honestly, I thought that smile was just an ad spot, like "I just got in my order from Kraken Dice, BE AFRAID" Oh, Krakenships minis, the whole video is an ad spot. That's awesome, now to get some minis BWEW!
Another fun episode!! You are all great! We need a Kepler episode! Or maybe just put together the Kepler bits from the gag reels? Keep up the good work
@@Chepakishui "The Dire Wolf knocks you prone. You take 14 licking damage." "I cast Who's A Good Boy. He has to succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom save or be charmed." "The Dire Wolf rolls over and demands a belly rub."
"Save the Edgeloarding Sara!" Snicker.

This times 100
Oh my god that scenario is immediately what I thought of too!
Yes!!! And it also has a sponsor, one of those whisky boxes with the tiny bottles and they want to shrink down so they can get drunk more.
If they make this episode of drunk before noon we need credits!
Yes!
Those shrink ray noises were the best part of the whole episode
Peeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwww
I'm adding it to my soundboard!
If you gotta advertise for a sponsor, this is the way to do it. Props to Krakenships for giving the crew enough free reign to produce it in a way that feels enough like a normal Edition to still be entertaining
And it just kinda feels like a standard plug by Chaz at the same time 😆 but I agree, this is how adverts should be done
I agree. I will have to take a look at their website.

@@hope_and_love that's
Disheartening
Can we get krakenships to create a "Sara" mini? You know, for the power gamers who never want to lose.
It would just be an "Oops, all 20's" d20
Hahahahaha! Yes!
They can't- it would be Too Powerful
With Keppler as himself.
Yes he is. Yes he is!
What a good boy. Yes!
Honestly, more channels should find creative ways to advertise sponsors like this. And more sponsors should let them.
Borderlines on entertaining infomercial. If I was a first time viewer, it would also be my last.

Green screen? How? I thought he shrunk them
I always enjoy Sunday mornings. Start making the kids breakfast, then in the middle of cooking i get a notification and totally lose focus for the next 20 minutes
LOL, i love his "sound effects", that was made me laugh every time he did it! And Justen is right, that sound is awesome!
The production quality of this episode was FANTASTIC!
1:15 the best part by far has been hearing the "Pew Pew"
6:04 You can tell he was about to break character
You're doing the gods' work here, friend. I salute you. BEEEEEUUUUWWWWW
I may be a tad biased, but Kyle's/Waylon's Flurry of Blows was spectacular. Kepler butt was cool too.
This was pretty good for a long form commercial.
"This is totally a commercial!"
Yes. Thank god. Sponsors enable more things...like this episode. Feels pretty novel and was enjoyable.
Shrink ray effect giving me 1980's Dr Who vibes.
Also: awesome.
Seriously one of the best editions in recent memory. Really solid all around. Justen will give me nightmares for years.
He was scarier during filming.
5:01 "Everyone casts fire spells. I want to be different."
*attacked* ...am I...am I an edge lord!?!?! 😳
Oddly satisfying. Loved the Kepler photo bomb in the gag reel.
Best commercial ever. I already watch all your sponsor ads unlike every other channel, but this one was even better.
I love that Mann Shorts and 1 For All, both make entertaining sponsor ads for their D&D videos!
Mann Shorts and Internet Historian are the only channels I'll watch the ads on, sometimes even more than once because they are hilarious.
I love the Shrink Ray!
It is both well made (color-changing LED panel) AND janky (expended caulking tube) at the same time.
Makes me so smile!
Love the sound effects.
When it's an episode, but it's an ad. Kinda brilliant. But were they just fighting mimes? Paint your minies!
I loved this episode !! How awesome you went all out with fun effects !
That sound was AWESOME! Well done all around.
If Wailin is a Monk, why is he allowed to come strapped with THOSE GUNS!!
Wouldn't Lance have needed to use his second action to pry the axe away from Juste....er......the Miniature?
That shrink ray was the star of the show.
this gag reel was as fantastic as the episode
omg i love this so much and the shrink ray !!!! :D
Best one I've seen in a long time
Well there went the budget for this year...
I love that you guys show the outtakes because when filming or recording I always feel like a fucking lunatic
Beautiful. Just beautiful. But now I wonder if french mimes are just miniatures hit by a growth ray..
I died(in a good way) at "PEEEW, PEEEW, PEEEWWW!".
~Dice, minis, maps, snacks...~
Is next week "Maps" edition?
This was pretty funny despite basically being a commercial. Neat to see you all try your hands at the old "high production value" special effects. The shrinking was very convincing
Ok so with that kind shrink ray I expect to see Hobbes over his shoulder telling him this is a bad idea.
Also I'm surprised that Sarah didn't cast an acid spell instead of fire if she wants to be different
For a commercial this was pretty funny
I laughed to hard at the ray noises, but you missed a great chance to set the ray to WUMBO!!!
The special effects are amazing 😎🤘🍻
Best episode to date
Love the greenscreen work. Lance running to his sheet to check information was my favourite
Best Commercial ever!!
Thanks for the episode. I hope you all get more views and subs. My D&D group stopped using minis because of Covid. We started playing online. But I miss the use of minis, real dice, and the table top. Excellent episode.
Where did Sara get those multi colored dice? They're so pretty!!!
Kraken dice, where else? 😉
@@sergepicard3800 there are other places that sell dice. Independent small dice makers, local shops, Amazon, ect. I was just asking.
@@dgvprincess7187 True, but they actually did come from Kracken Dice- I got my daughter a set.
@@jenisedai and since kraken dice is one of their regular sponsors, they are probably supplying all the dice used in the episodes 😉
Knew since chaz hasn't been seen on drunk before noone he was about to come up with something. The zoo didn't work out but the shrink ray looks like a success
That was awesome! Fun to watch.
Loved the screwdriver handle on the shrink ray gun!
Can I get a 10 hour loop of the the pew pew shrink ray part? Thanks, I'll be waiting over here!
Good episode. I like the poses on those minis.
I didn't know I needed this episode in my life!
The Foley work on that shrink ray gun was top notch. Love your show!
Really liked this one!
PEEEEW! Goes the shrink ray!
As someone who spent my adult life in the tech side of the entertainment industry, and has directed and edited many commercials, what can I say? This is one of the best commercials I've seen!
Awesome concept!!
I love it, going back to the basic and roots of D&D. I was kind of missing this from the man shorts. I was secretly wondering when you would actually go to this Edition. And this episode, didn't disappoint either.
That was great. Nice way to put the info in the episode so people can't skip if they want to see the whole episode
I'm just here for the gag reel.
I loved this! More SFX!
Great Video! Thank You!
Oops! Forgot to add the cool Zhrink Ray effect for the last blast. Or was the hi-tech device out of juice, leaving are heroes as permanent minis?
I love shrink Ray is mirrored lol
I used to come for the commercials and stay for the D&D. Now I just come for the commercials :p
I appreciate the integration of the ad in this one. Well done all!
1:08 and I'm dying over the Sarah character. That is SUCH a perfect persona.
That was adorable.
Oh my god I'm in love with this!
The production value’s skyrocketed. 😂
It was pretty high concept. Colour me impressed.
Dungeons & Dragons: Commercial Edition.
I was not expecting this. I absolutely loved the laser sound effects!
Edit: I loved this sooo much.
Sara: Why are you smiling?
Me: When the DM smiles, it's already too late
Saw that on a shirt...
@@Anaris10 That's where I got it
Someone got a new toy
I proudly avoid any advertisements and influence of the media...thanks to you guys I've bought cereal, dice and now I have to go look at minis. You are all evil. Well done.
And you didn't even thank your shrink ray maker.
Here for my Sunday man shorts.
Best lasers of all time? Death star has got nothing!
Ya'll are up there with Whiskey Tribe on entertaining advertising. Love as always.
This was a lot of fun! More Mini Edition episodes!
Rock on! Now they have a green screen. They can have orcs, fire, and magic.
Watched a ton of these. This is one of the best by far.
HEY! They do have legs!
what does your sheet say... that made my day
WHOA!!
They should make minis of all of you guys, including Kepler. A sixpack set.
Honestly, I thought that smile was just an ad spot, like "I just got in my order from Kraken Dice, BE AFRAID"
Oh, Krakenships minis, the whole video is an ad spot. That's awesome, now to get some minis BWEW!
I had no idea that Justen was also a Michael Myers impersonator.
OMG PLEASE keep doing minis!!!
Someone had fun with green screen magic
Another fun episode!! You are all great! We need a Kepler episode! Or maybe just put together the Kepler bits from the gag reels? Keep up the good work
D&D Kepler edition? If that means they're fighting kepler, that sounds like plans for a guaranteed TPK! Hahaha
@@Chepakishui "The Dire Wolf knocks you prone. You take 14 licking damage." "I cast Who's A Good Boy. He has to succeed on a DC 15 Wisdom save or be charmed." "The Dire Wolf rolls over and demands a belly rub."
This is awesome
The shrink ray sounds were on point! Loved the episode!
The DM looks like he lost some weight!
This was adorable :3
so good seeing you guys having fun
5:13 “The mini slowly melts into a hideous blob.”
Where’s the raised 👍🏻 ???
Opportunity lost 😞
No one going to mention the Mike Myers look alike?
Now that is a sponsor and product I can get behind. Awesomely cool job 😎
I loved this episode!
When I saw the title, I was expecting an animated episode done with Hero Forge characters.
I nominate this for the best commercial of 2021.
