They’re the Old West gang equivalent of an Amazon warehouse-ridiculous turnover and a leader who doesn’t give a shit about the people working under his leadership 😂
I always wanted to see a skit that talks about their gang and other factions like them. Like...why do men keep joining them when they can't handle a crew of 20 people, half of whom are non combatants, one is a child, and the majority of the time the full crew doesn't even fight together
@@Its_me_bro0 i mean not really a lots of people act very weird almost like children sometimes and rd2 encapsulate this perfectly and they are even less weird than people
I enjoy watching game clips, I enjoyed watching this video, RDR2 is a beautiful looking game but the bathing, cooking, maintenance, shaving and getting witnessed every time I want to have fun is so annoying it makes my lips itch. No amount of pneumatic horse balls is worth all that. I’ll play this game in Hell.
the endless odriscall bit is so good. always thought about that. same with micahs gang at the very very end, and the grey family apparently being the whole population of rhodes
As a woman, I absolutely relate to that skit too well, especially since I base my online characters off my own personal appearance. It always ends up either way too good looking or it's the visage of a Lovecraftian horror and absolutely nothing in between.
@@Nylak-Otter I crafted the female RDO character on my alternate account on the philosophy of "real(istically) pretty" instead of "perfectly beautiful". I've seen other player characters who were, I'll admit, better looking than mine. But they look _perfect_ as in catwalk-at-Milan rather than the Old West. I made my character in a way to fall _juuuuuust_ short of perfect. Brow may be a little heavy, the jaw a smidge too strong. Still looks good, and looks less fake.
That skeleton scenario happens near the old battlefield and church. There's an old skeleton soldier pinned to a tree, loot his hat and you get a wanted signal 💀
It was actually the witness who killed that guy. He even gave him one of his tonic to use as bait. You think it was coincidence that no one took it before, and 2 people were there? No. The witness had been there for 5 years, just waiting for someone to come by and take the tonic, to then pin the murder on someone else before it got linked back to him
I literally just experienced that. Some guy got kicked by his horse and then the NPC that was passing by AS IT HAPPENED, decides to become a witness to me murdering the poor guy WHOM WAS KICKED BY THE HORSE might I add
Guys I have never played in RDR but the skits were incredibly funny for me so thank you very much. There are really great action, humor, props and visual effects. And awesome horses! You are the handsome fellows (even in the last skit) 😄
@@Jundas idk I didn't play rdr 1, I don't remember the horse being particularly problematic, except taming that one rare white horse that's Best in game. That was mildly frustrating
Ah yes, the murderer topic. I once tried to save a woman in Saint Denis (I failed because I was a bit too slow) and she got shoot. Either way I started punching her murderer and accidentally killed him. And who was the bad guy in the end? Right, me 😂 Edit: Yes, I‘m not a native english speaker, so don’t be bothered by spelling mistakes 🙃
I like when I get jumped by a gang in the middle of a town, but if I defend myself against knives and guns with just a lasso and my fists I'm arrested for assault and disturbing the peace. Every. Single. Time. Fine, I'll just die then, I guess.
The suspicious posse hits hard. I had a posse of high-level surround my camp. Since I had my flag up, they roped me, dragged me out of camp and killed me. I left the session, they followed and did it again
I was out on the plains outside Valentine and after a particularly murderous spree I had bounty hunters appearing every few minutes. It started as 2, killed them, then 3, killed them, and on it went. After I had killed a few gangs of 5 I thought I'd try something. I set up camp before the next lot appeared and sat inside the tent. I could see them riding past and one of them could be heard saying "He's here somewhere." I was safe so I left the game running and went outside to the garden for a smoke. I watched the red dots on the map before I went out for a smoke as they galloped to and fro not spotting my tent. When I came back in they were a lot closer and wouldn't leave. As soon as I pressed a controller button they spotted me in the tent. "Put your hands up of you'll get killed." - LMAO - You can't get out of the tent with your hands up. I was shot and filled full of lead before I could even reach for a gun. I won't use that ploy again
If they followed you into a different session they're definitely modders and griefing a-hole ones...Griefing doesn't bother me that much when it's in good fun, but the super aggressive ones who are just unnecessarily hostile and mean ruin it.
I just started playing this game a month ago, Its such a great game! That being said, I could follow what was going on before the game in these RDR2 sketches, But now that I actually play this, It just makes these videos greater, they're incredibly accurate
I watch every single one of your guys videos and they’re all so funny but some of my favourites are the long story’s like baelin’s route. They really make it feel like a true rpg game
it is funny how attached we are to those horses. fun fact: I've NEVER used a horse tonic ever, because every time I've needed one, I've just reloaded a save to save my horse haha.
YES EXACTLY, i found my horse around the snowy mountain area and kept him with my the entire playthrough. when my horse died i literally stood still for 20 minutes just staring at him with my face engulfed with shock
@@name1674when I lost twilight,the horse I bought at the very beggining of the game at the end where I was hunting Micah,he died at a scripted event I was like..... So....yoy finally did it.......

I love the campsite exploit, when they dont realize the render glitch to shoot people in their camp. If you stand right at the edge of the camps render distance, the forcefield doesnt register. So you can snipe people in their camps if you REALLY wanna shoot them.
I remember when I watched these, before I even played rdr2. Even though I didn't knew the game, I found them to be hilarious. But after I have been trough the experience of the game myself it hits even harder. 😂
RDR2 IS THE BEST GAME EVER MADE HANDS DOWN. Thankyou for doing more skits with this. I hope there will be more. Or maybe when GTA VI comes out in the next 50 years you could do skits on that too.
I was excited for a new one. But the compilations are still fun too. It’s funny to see them together. Some play better that way but some seem overplayed because of it.
Like Dutch said: "Colm O'Driscoll doesn't care about his men, if you can shoot a gun, ride a horse and kill without a thought, you're in" I think that's their recruit strategy
Red Dead Redemption 2 is probably going to be the most fondly Rememberd game released ever... you guys have put out some great rdr2 content .....amazingly funny videos keep it up
I'm really late finding these videos, but I'm a subscriber now. Love your guys stuff, I think it would be huge fun (and clearly some work) to make these kinds of videos. Keep up the great work!
Love compilations even if that means the season is over, still i like them because i can catch up with skits i have missed, in this case was the one about the beauty and dangers of RDR, wonder how long the chain of killingt and looting was going to go
The griefer skit is one of the rare skits no one is really wrong in, sometimes you’re just in the wrong place at the wrong time, and someone’s gotta be entertained when bored.
The other day I played a cooperative mission with a Level 16 player who had Outlaw Pass #1 cosmetics (the Army Uniform). _They_ have put in more dedication to this game than Rockstar!
In all honesty, the flamboyant pink outfit is what they wore in old black and white westerns so it showed up as the right colors. The Aadams family dark set was actually a bunch of vibrant pastel colors.
I have played Red Dead Redemption games before and I don’t believe I have ever had a moment where I looted a dead body and was accused of murdering them.
I love the idea of making it (Australia or New Zealand) look like its set in the more greener states of America during the wild west, pretty much how westerns like A Fistful Of Dollars, For A Few Dollars More and The Good The Bad and The Ugly were filmed in both Italy and Spain to make it look like it was set between the borders of America and Mexico
Guys, you are helping to survive such a difficult time. You help to break away from reality. When I see your videos, a smile appears on my face. I love you and I don't know what I would do without you. Special thanks to the channel "Strange Place", which is voiced by translates into Russian. Thank you guys, thank you🥺🌹
I love how Alan goes crazy with the lassoing in one skit, and the gets lassoed and shot in the next. Rowan & Britt standing by like, "Let's be honest: you had this coming, dude."
I can attest that I get just as dramatic when someone shoots and/or kills my horse, I get so upset that I almost forget that I can revive my horse and then it's down to the milliseconds before it dies for good, but I manage to revive it in time. 😂 If you shoot my horse even once, it's PERSONAL!
This was hilarious. I watched it while playing Red Dead, and let's just say I accidentally rode off a cliff a couple of times because I was laughing like crazy.
The O' Driscolls need their own series...love how un-fazed they are with the insane amount of deaths the gang has endured.
