Jose Velez Usually I’m a defender of not spoiling shows, movies, or whatever else. Like someone spoiled it in the comment section of episode 19 on Geek and Sydney’s RUclips and I flat out pointed out how this show is different. But this is actually a situation that’s appropriate to talk about spoilers. If you are watching clips and highlights from future episodes you haven’t seen yet, then you should know you are in active danger of seeing them. If you don’t want to be spoiled, you should watch the show like everyone else has and not look up clips. Otherwise you will be awfully confused when Molly is talking in a really gruff, deeper, stoner voice.
2:08 I like how this was written as a joke by Sam but you can clearly hear how it's hitting a bit too-close to the truth for Matt. That wasn't acting that shit was real
I totally forgot so much from that episode because of the ending. I forgot that this Ad even existed and I forgot that this was the episode with Matt having glitter on his face for the first half (I mean it is just a small thing but it was SO DISTRACTING).
Most of them did very well I just don't think Matt did very well at playing Mercer he really dropped the ball on that one. I think he needs to go back and study the part more to really understand what makes Mercer tick.
Marisha's performance reminded me a lot of Poison Ivy from the 90's Batman and Robin movie. Just her intonation and pitch, the way she spoke was very similar to Uma Thurman. And that is a huge compliment...for Uma Thurman.
The fact she used to panhandle as Poison Ivy on Hollywood Boulevard when she first came to LA really frames that as a perfect role for our druid queen. Such an amazing gal
Laura became an actress from a 1940’s theatre, Travis became some mock up of Patrick from spongebob, and Ronin emerged with the voice actors gift of knowing how to *_SPEAK FROM THE DIAPHRAGM RATHER THAN THE THROAT_*

Baby was alive for all of 30 seconds and already he was being portrayed by Matt Mercer.
onerustybucket 😂😂😂
Now that's what I call typecasting!
OMG 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
hes gonna be a protag one day
Well, to be fair, Troy Baker wasn't available.
The way Marisha delivered "It is done" was perfection.
Was she Laura, or Mrs. Adams?
@@anonymousvids2146 I WAS THINKING THAT EXACT THING!
Just like laura's baby
Absolutely agree. She nailed it!
"Delivered"
“Mother I Bring news from the womb” will never not be funny
one of Sam's greatest lines he's ever written
That was the part that sent me
Mother, I bring news from the womb
I don't think he ever thought he'd say such words.
This honestly sounds like a lyric from a rap song. Get on it Mr. Riegel.
Frick I died at that part
*it was w a r m*

Mother, I bring news from the womb
Blackholes in fantasy owe me a favour
I'mma drop them a call to show them what's real gloom
I love that they’re hyping up Laura to a cartoonish level and Travis is basically a sitcom dad
“I love you Momma Willingham.”
“B a i l e y” 😂😂😂😂😂
That was an expertly crafted Brick Joke.
“A real job, dad!”
Wow...there’s like a three-act play hidden in that one line.
Caleb said the same thing to his dad...
Stephen Pike you know, before he killed him.
what XD
@@wuftchan8299 you know In a fire
I’m more laughing at the fact that the last time Liam played a doctor with Laura Bailey and Ashley Johnson it didn’t work out too well for him…
"I don't need to sleep...ever" The most in character line in the whole thing.
And accurate DM moments
Well, he was playing himself
That actually wasn't acting
“Including Matt Mercer.”
“Yeah, I can do that.”
I'm so glad Matt got to read his own thoughts out loud
"Matt got to read his own thoughts out loud"
'Yes, I am perfection.'
'Mother, I bring news from the womb.'
Yep, his own thoughts.
The perfection part is true
‘I don’t need sleep… ever…’
Props to Marisha for keeping a straight face!
you can see her almost crack a few times before getting it back together
Laura Bailey as played by Marisha Ray as played by Morticia Adams.
*Addams
I love how Marisha goes for the “Lust” voice as Laura’s standard speaking voice.
Matt: "I'll just throw out the next three weeks of story I'd planned out and rewrite everything to accommodate."
*writes in Lorenzo*
Bainbow
They call it *Mercer’s Wrath*
Ronin killed molly confirmed
His broken little chuckle always gets me. I know that feeling so much.
A soul for a soul.
Brian Foster has been causing Ashly Burch grief all this time, when the real culprit was known all along… Ronin! *Dun-dun-daaaaah*
I don't remember Travis and Laura going on record saying this isn't how Ronin's birth really went.
Well why would they lie about this?
Wait it is Ronin? I thought it was Ronan! Have I been been calling him the wrong name!?
@@lidular If it makes you feel better, the pronunciation is probably close enough.
@@lidular his IMDB page (yes he has one) says Ronin Bailey
@@lidular Yes, it is Ronin... the baby was born a lordless samurai lol
I honestly believe that NO-ONE expected Marisha to go in that hard ...
She did have to act as Tinkerbell in Hollywood one time. Tricks of the trade
But we're so glad she did
she sounded like katherine hepburn circa 1940
Honestly even Matt was blown away
Haha I love that it actually did sound a little like a Laura V.O. character
1:30
I love how Taliesin immediately collapses from laughter.
MinersLoveGames “Exactly two weeks ago, at the Willingham house.”
*_”B A B E”_*
You already see the realisation spread across his face at 0:45
Anne Thomassen ExACTly. And then his aggressive facepalming
3:17 "mother i bring news from the womb" i am d e a d
The way Marisha goes "It's Bailey." in an annoyed voice was just perfect.
a real job, dad! :D
Notice how he said that almost immediately as soon as Sam was done with the last syllable? He came up with that response FAST!
That was way too real
I don't think he came up with the response. I think it was already there waiting... for the last 20 years :D
Sam: *B A A A B E*
Taliesin: *dies immediately*
“A REAL JOB DAD” 😂😂😂😂😂
*IT IS DONE*
*YES, I AM PERFECTION.*
*MOTHER, I BRING NEWS FROM THE WOMB.*
Imagine 13 years from now Ronin Willingham greets Laura with, “Mother I bring news from the womb.”
Some points.

I do not believe Matt was in-character while saying "I don't need to sleep, ever."
The fact we never got a reaction video from Laura+Travis is a shame.
@@augustusegg7324 why tho
@@augustusegg7324 That was just Matt.
I love how Taliesin immediately breaks at Sam's "Babe..."
what a wild start that REALLY contrasts the end of this ep
@Walt Aistir yep lmao what an ending to the episode
One enters one leaves that is the price of Ronin
"Humankind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost."
@@CelestiaLily But we gained Ronin before we lost Molly. The Law of Equivalent Exchange was not applied here...
Undomaranel
Ronin's also a real human kid and Molly was a fictional D&D character - it's undeniably not applicable as a fair trade, but it's still kinda funny to juxtapose the two events together as a joke XD
Ronin: Daddy, where do babies come from?
Travis: The Preseason, thankfully.
Underrated comment
I feel like Matt played the role of "Matt Mercer" a little too well... Hmm...
It's always wonderful when you and your role become one.
He loves being himself
I wish I could see Laura and travis's reaction!
laughing their ass off like everyone else xD
Rage. Pure, seething, rage.
@John Roe watching the cowboys game
1:10 - 1:12
Sam: Liam will be playing the Doctor
Liam: (looks directly into camera) A real job Dad!
That part gets me every time.
And Matt's hacking laugh
I died laughing!
Liam's improv game is great. I love the little suppressed gag he does after "Laura" goes way into the purple prose.
”News from the womb“ sounds like a news Show i would watch.
please, someone has to animate this...
Man this was a good ad, crazy Molly died like 3 hours later.
Also Marisha does a damn good cold reading.
Matt: "I'll just throw out the next three weeks of story I'd planned out and rewrite everything to accommodate."

@MasterOfBaguettes it happened like a year ago. Dont go poking around the comment section if you dont want spoilers

Ahh it was this episode
Marisha's "Laura" is amazing! I want that to be the voice of the next high priestess.
Marisha channeling Mortisha Adams like a boss
Denim Knight She’s just channelling her inner-Laura. The voice she had was the voice Laura uses for 85% of her characters
It's Addams with 2 D's.
One day Ronin is gonna ask where babies come from and Travis is vonna show him this clip
Okay but I loved Marisha all throughout this
She kept in character that entire time!
Fucking beautiful
...i mean this bit is technically Ronin's first IMDB credit if you think about it (as a character at least)
2:08 I like how this was written as a joke by Sam but you can clearly hear how it's hitting a bit too-close to the truth for Matt. That wasn't acting that shit was real
“Mother, I bring news from the womb” will always be one of the funniest things ever written.
Matt's "I don't need to sleep. . .ever" is so real it hurts
Ronin: Momma, where do I come from?
*Uncle Riegal interjects and shows this video*
Ronin: Oh, oh wow.
laura: NOOOOOO!!!
Travis: “YEEES”
...now think about what it's gonna be like getting bedtime stories from parents who are voice actors
Talesin: thanks a lot, by the way. You’re the reason my character died
Rolled a constipation check and found out she wasnt pooping but giving birth.
How has Travis not have killed Sam by now?
He is a very good friend!
@@Dracobyte that and he covered himself in blood.
Sam told Travis that if he died, he'd haunt Travis as a ghost
Travis loves the nonsense (the masterdebater especially comes to mind). Laura, on the other hand, I'm amazed hasn't murdered him in his sleep.
XcZeus3469 Laura has that scary Mom look. Even before Ronin.
"It is done" SENDS ME
“Liam was will be the doctor-“
“A real job dad!”
Sam: "Liam you'll play the doctor"
Liam: "Oh look Dad. A real job"
I died 😂😂😂😂
If I close my eyes, it’s like I’m really there in the delivery room
Would be awesome if Ronin's first words were Mama & Willingham.
When he says "Willingham" it wont be in a cutesy baby voice, it'll be in a deadly serious manly voice like Travis recently betrayed The Godfather
You know what? Sam and Liam will make that happen.
Honestly this might be the best job Sam has ever done incorporating the actual details of the ad read into a skit
They grow up so fast.
**Wipes away a tear**
they've come a long way since that failed dustbowl play.
@@4D4plus4is4D8 Natural 20 for Conception
I totally forgot so much from that episode because of the ending. I forgot that this Ad even existed and I forgot that this was the episode with Matt having glitter on his face for the first half (I mean it is just a small thing but it was SO DISTRACTING).
“I don’t need to sleep, ever” XDDDDD
the 3 dislikes are travis, laura and somehow their time traveling son
I love how the "baby" has the majestic voice of Matt Mercer XD
2:11 oh man I feel his actual pain
Comments like these make me go "oh you poor DM."
"Mother, I bring news from the womb" KILLED ME!!! I am in tears! 😂😂😂
Sam may be a comedy genius but the rest of our Critical Role friends are just amazing, aren't they!!!
Sam: "babe"
Taliesin: *WHEEZE*
Wow, they're so good at giving their lines! You'd think they were actors or something...
Most of them did very well I just don't think Matt did very well at playing Mercer he really dropped the ball on that one. I think he needs to go back and study the part more to really understand what makes Mercer tick.
To the 6 people who don't get the joke, watch some anime from the 2000s, and 2010s..... Also Avengers Assemble
“Mother, I bring news from the womb!”
(A wild Liam appears)
“NANCY?! NANCY!”
somehow liams "a real job dad" is the best thing . . . so random, so swollowed up in the background of what is going on but I love it
Marisha's performance reminded me a lot of Poison Ivy from the 90's Batman and Robin movie. Just her intonation and pitch, the way she spoke was very similar to Uma Thurman.
And that is a huge compliment...for Uma Thurman.
I’d say it also reminds me a lot of Morticia Addams
no one:
ronin: *M O T H E R , I B R I N G N E W S F R O M T H E W O M B*
i literally almost shit myself when matt cried as the baby
My favorite ad moment.
I watch this whenever I need a laugh on a bad day.
The second Taliesin hears the word "birth" he knew what was coming.
AWW, Ronin's first words..
This is brilliance, and I cannot wait for Travis and Laura to show this off to Ronin when he's older! YOUR PARENTS AND THEIR FRIENDS ARE AWESOME!
"Mother, I bring news from the womb"
How every advertisement should actually start
While you might think that Sam's ads are horrible it is the only situation where I hurry, because I don't want to miss an ad
"Mother I bring news from the womb" will forever be my favourite line
2:36 Marisha channeling her inner Druid
This is a divine comedy
man...Marisha should really voice poison ivy she could really pull it off
The fact she used to panhandle as Poison Ivy on Hollywood Boulevard when she first came to LA really frames that as a perfect role for our druid queen. Such an amazing gal
"I bring news from the womb" caught me completely off guard hahahaha 😂
2:08 you know its so good acting because its true
I love how Talesin already sensed how it would all go down
When marisha says "coursing through me"damn chills
Can we take a moment to appreciate how Sam got Marisha to give birth to her husband?
It Is Done.
0:43 Liam looks so worried as Sam mentions the birth.
Its Bailey 2:24
Ded
Look at how tiny his flask is.
Sooo Laura is a Shakespear or full English translation Anime character?
Tavish dramatic.
Ronin is an eldritch god and Travis is literally just a caricature of himself
Laura became an actress from a 1940’s theatre, Travis became some mock up of Patrick from spongebob, and Ronin emerged with the voice actors gift of knowing how to *_SPEAK FROM THE DIAPHRAGM RATHER THAN THE THROAT_*
yes.
This what years of improv has led up to and it was absolutely worth it
IT IS DONE.
That was one the most disturbing things I've seen so far
I love that all Sam has to say is "babe" and Taliesen loses it
I don't need to sleep...
Ever
Why has no one animated this?!
MARISHA MADE ME. CRY. LIKE THE “IT IS DONE” MADE ME SCREAM
What a gem! I love them soo much....
the way sam says "babe" makes me howl every time i hear
“Mother I bring news from the womb”😂😂😂😂
This is one of my all-time favorite videos and I come here periodically when I need to smile :)
The bunch is so talented. They should do more like this.
This is the best ad I have ever seen. Period.
