Major props to you for not only finding the real-life names of all the songs, but the timestamps and the episodes they appeared in - That is some serious above and beyond type stuff. You, my friend, deserve all the love you're getting, and so much more
I'm just kinda sad you missed one of my favorites from early on, the "yo ugly, yo ugly, yo mamma said yo ugly" one from the underdark at the very beginning
I love how Taliesin pretty much ALWAYS joins in if he knows the tune (and is paying attention), even if he has NO goddamn idea where Sam is going with it. Example: He recognized the "bum bum bum badum badum" tune and immediately joined in, but looked just as baffled as Matt while doing it. Sam: *starts tune with no words* Tal: *joins in while wondering what fresh hell the Bard is up to* Matt: *looking around and also wondering what fresh hell his group is up to*
mikail irwan i love to imagine their characters joining in while slashing shooting and stabbing, just the whole group putting a little wiggle to it. dancing and singing and humming. it also explains the rising of everyone’s mood and energy in game, which i think is sweet 😊
Reminds me of the time he tried to Cutting Words someone attacking him by shouting "Dont hit meeeee-" and got cut off when he rolled a 1 and got hit anyway.
S0LAR_NL that’s one thing I miss. When he disappeared from the screen cause he couldn’t stop laughing or something awesome happened. I miss those benches lol
That limbo one was great. Just imagine in world. You're just having a conversation, then everyone in the group you're talking to starts softly singing a song while staring at you.
@@jmercedesd A lot of hem he is, but songs like the dragon themed christmas songs were written down already, probably for the sake of remembering the names
@@jmercedesd Yeah, he's looking in his notes during some of these. When he's looking at the ceiling it's desperately trying to come up with something at that exact moment.
God I miss him as a bard so much- he is fantastic as a comedian and storyteller but musical spontaneity paired with comedy and drama is a gift we rarely get to see
Oh 6:50 is one of my all time favorite moments. Not only is the song great, but everyone getting into it and Laura beating on the table. So good! 11:28 is also iconic. Watching the top table just fall onto each other is perfection. This is also great because I get to be emo over old seating arrangements.
Dithrin Myers Yes, but... I started my D&D5e adventures as a halfling bard, and regularly sang at the table for my party BECAUSE of Scanlan. You could say he “inspired” a whole new generation of bards to sing it loud and proud. Of course, my personal favorites are those who express their bardom through alternate artist expression: dance, oratory, acrobatics, mime! 🤣
You are doing the gods' work with this video. Sam is amazing lmao, some of my favorite moments of C1 were when they would all get in on the inspiration songs and sing!
The whole time between Whitestone and when they actually meet Vecna he's just scrying on Scanlan like 24/7. "It's my favorite show. Gnome man sings random songs."
Watched this many a time. Now I legit shed tears because the cast reactions aren't anywhere near this now. The song join ins and love is something I want more in my life.
As much as I love season two, I just realized it won’t have Scanlan singing “Thordak, the Cinder King” to the tune of Frosty the snowman and it is automatically inferior lmao
That is a wonderful collection. I didn't think I was going to sit here for the whole length, but here I am, enjoying every second. Thank you Dani and Sam
This is brilliant. Didnt know he actually sang during the sessions! A true Bard! Tosss another coin wooo... came hear after hearing Pull my beads of Love from Legend of Vox M
I think 4:09 is the best by far, the players singing together perfectly, the way Sam ends it and trails off while staying in tune, it's just perfect. :)
Sam is a Genius, who is inspired by such a wide range of songs! But what makes many of his song's Extra Special is when the others join in. I especially loved when the audience of a live show sang along too.
This is what I love the most about Critical Role. It's like a hive mind where one person makes a reference and then everyone else jumps on it and keeps it going for anywhere from a few seconds to the next eight minutes.
15:26 my boyfriend got me into critical role, and showed me this video. this absolutely killed me and I asked him to replay it because it was so funny. he asked if I wanted context, to which i replied "nah i like my no context fish paste." now, its 4:43 in the morning, he's asleep and I'm rewatching this because I miss him and need a good laugh. Chris, if you're reading this.. I love you
If only he knew that the scanlan shorthalt i'm a gnome part was going to be used in a Critical Role Hamilton Musical thing and was gonna be Amazing lol

Major props to you for not only finding the real-life names of all the songs, but the timestamps and the episodes they appeared in - That is some serious above and beyond type stuff. You, my friend, deserve all the love you're getting, and so much more
Best community ever. I was watching this and thinking "I wish someone would make a list of what songs he was parodying." Lo and behold.
Asbjørn Christensen I’d like to credit Critrolestats for that
@@DaniGeez They truly are a god-sent
I'm just kinda sad you missed one of my favorites from early on, the "yo ugly, yo ugly, yo mamma said yo ugly" one from the underdark at the very beginning
3:21 "You're right. He is no hollaback gnome!" gets me every time.
"Do you wanna build a machine gun?"
"Why yes I really doooo"
The duo, the legnds
I love how Taliesin pretty much ALWAYS joins in if he knows the tune (and is paying attention), even if he has NO goddamn idea where Sam is going with it.
Example: He recognized the "bum bum bum badum badum" tune and immediately joined in, but looked just as baffled as Matt while doing it.
Sam: *starts tune with no words*
Tal: *joins in while wondering what fresh hell the Bard is up to*
Matt: *looking around and also wondering what fresh hell his group is up to*
I love that the rest of the cast joins in without being asked
mikail irwan i love to imagine their characters joining in while slashing shooting and stabbing, just the whole group putting a little wiggle to it. dancing and singing and humming. it also explains the rising of everyone’s mood and energy in game, which i think is sweet 😊
@@annsmalley9039 I love that idea!!
Do you and your friends not spontaneously bust into song?!. shit are we weird?.
they are quite wholesome
Its called talent hey
i always sort of imagine scanlan being tackled in the midst of singing inspiration which is why the songs always get cut off
You, my friend, have an amazing imagination.
That is great plothole filling!
Reminds me of the time he tried to Cutting Words someone attacking him by shouting "Dont hit meeeee-" and got cut off when he rolled a 1 and got hit anyway.
I love when Matt sings as well I like to imagine one of the bad guys just joins in cause he likes the tune
MrWyatt 145 xDDDDDDD
I like to imagine that everytime the cast are singing with Scanlan their characters are singing in the middle of battles.
biobiobio7777 it makes me wonder if there’re any animatics of it :D i would especially love to see 9:13
So badly want to see at least ONE musical number in the animated series
@@MakDemonik YES
I genuinely want a Critical Role: The Musical one shot!
I would like to see scanlan in the sirens and just gets so petty and competitive with other singers.
starring Scanlan Shorthalt, Brian Cabbage Foster, Florence Foster Jenkens, Thomas Jefferson and Winnie the Pooh.
With guest star Critical Bard!!
This is where this comment is supposed to be lol
They honestly have the talent for it
That would be too perfect.
Ever notice in how many of these songs Travis is just right there with the backup vocals?
Because Travis is his biggest fan.
Taliesin too!
@@samminicksm Yup, I just noticed Travis more since he generally get's more into the songs (Full-body wise)
@@GodBear97 Travis is just everyone's hype man and it's fantastic
I'm going with the head canon that grog is just that in sync with scanlan as his friend.
5:13 I really love seeing Liam just disappear from frame more and more
S0LAR_NL that’s one thing I miss. When he disappeared from the screen cause he couldn’t stop laughing or something awesome happened.
I miss those benches lol
Honestly this is what i miss most about campaign 1
I miss scanlan and grog so much
@@artygunnar i feel ya!
just got to episode 101 so he just came back and I'm so happy
Same
i hope hamilton fans felt called out when matt was like “oh my god..we are *those* people.”
7:02
Laura hammering the beat out on the table gives me life.
I think the absolute best part of scanlan is sam’s ability to get everyone else at the table to sing along. It’s really great
3 years later but sam rolled really high on his charisma stat so really they can't help it
It's the bards charm
That limbo one was great. Just imagine in world. You're just having a conversation, then everyone in the group you're talking to starts softly singing a song while staring at you.
Honestly, thats just the reality of being a theatre kid
@@mudkipjuice facts I was a huge theater geek
"do you want to build a machine gun?" "why, yes, i really do" taliesin appreciation moment
Sam is really REALLY good at filking on the spot, holy shit. XD
To be fair, he does prepare some of the songs in advance
@@GodBear97 He did? :O I don't know why I'm surprised, but I really though he was making them all up on the spot. XD
years of improv club, not wasted!
@@jmercedesd A lot of hem he is, but songs like the dragon themed christmas songs were written down already, probably for the sake of remembering the names
@@jmercedesd Yeah, he's looking in his notes during some of these. When he's looking at the ceiling it's desperately trying to come up with something at that exact moment.
I feel like Sam does this with the express intent of getting Matt to crack up as much as possible. Everything else is just a bonus!
God I miss him as a bard so much- he is fantastic as a comedian and storyteller but musical spontaneity paired with comedy and drama is a gift we rarely get to see
8:23 his voice was amaizing in that one
Yea everytime i hear this I miss singing in a choir
I KNOW RIGHT i was genuinely shocked and kinda turned on at the same time
This one gave everyone watching Inspiration
What its the name of the song? Also if you just happend to know the name of the one at 9:09 i would really like to know that one too :D
@@Gaston-Melchiori if you see at the top of the comments there is a pinned comment press read more it has the list of all the songs
4:24 even Matt wasn't gonna miss the Ooooooooh
1:18 | 1:46 | 7:22 | 8:24 It’s that time again: It’s Taliesin appreciation time-Nominated for Best Ensemble in a D&D Campaign
I love you
I love you too
Is that two part BG vocals with Tal and Marisha at 8:35? You bet it is
"PAY FOR THE BOOKS!" has got to be in my top 10 best CR moments. Poor Shari.
She loved it secretly
It was so wholesome to see mathew face, slowly be fullfiled with joy seeing a bard doing his thing at 6:50
When Laura Bailey starts pounding the table you know the vibe is real.
I love Matt’s reaction to so many of these. A mixture of “why?!” And trying not to laugh, all while loving every minute
I would purchase a Crit Role parody album lol
Scanlan's friendship really showed for Grog with how often he gave his inspiration to Grog instead of the others
"This is my JAM!" Now I like to imagine Grog singing along to Taylor Swift. 😂
Bard players actually singing for their inspiration are the best
8:25 can I just say I was so surprised by Taliesin singing that bass. That was impressive!
All I ask is that they include stuff like this in the animated series. And I need the other characters to join in as well
I’m pretty sure they said they were gonna count some of them. They can’t do them all but I’m excited to see how they do it
They have to be careful because of Copyright issues.
@@ForeverDegenerate true, I know - but I mean… c'mon. how is this not the epitome of fair use / parody use!!?! 😥🤐
@@ForeverDegenerate They don’t have to be careful, they can just license the songs.
I think they did well with writing original songs for it.
Oh 6:50 is one of my all time favorite moments. Not only is the song great, but everyone getting into it and Laura beating on the table. So good!
11:28 is also iconic. Watching the top table just fall onto each other is perfection.
This is also great because I get to be emo over old seating arrangements.
Also, bonus. Liam watching his husband be an improv genius is always lovely, but 8:45 is my personal fave from this collection.
6:50 was life changing
13:53 doesn't get enough credit
@@c0dy99 What episode was that?
What song is he covering there?
The confused backing of the entire party during the Limbo bit is so incredible
This video is actually 16:42 minutes of content x7 because it is genuinely worth it to go back and watch every single one of their reactions.
Ely Lozada Theres a part 2 much longer :’)
@@DaniGeez this is THE BEST news
Scanlan ruined bards for anyone else. class should be retired.
Dithrin Myers Yes, but... I started my D&D5e adventures as a halfling bard, and regularly sang at the table for my party BECAUSE of Scanlan. You could say he “inspired” a whole new generation of bards to sing it loud and proud.
Of course, my personal favorites are those who express their bardom through alternate artist expression: dance, oratory, acrobatics, mime! 🤣
sam elevated bard class
my first D&D character is a bard because of Sam^^ although i can´t sing, so my Bard specializes in Standup-comedy and puns/dad-jokes
With guest star CriticalBard!
@@Tavish_Studios not gonna lie. i want to play a mime bard who cant talk. lol
I love how during the limbo bit, once Matt looked at Laura they both lost it completely. They’re sibling energy is adorable. Also I miss Scanman
He's the Scanman!
Ski-bi dibby dib yo da dub dub
Yo da dub dub... 🎤🎶
You are doing the gods' work with this video. Sam is amazing lmao, some of my favorite moments of C1 were when they would all get in on the inspiration songs and sing!
8:44 has to be most utmost favorite by far.
And now It's come full circle (refers to most recent ad reads :p )
Pit-Fiend baby now you're mine is a masterpiece :D
Y E S
11:25 - he broke 4 of his friends.
15:05
It‘s unreal how many times I’ve rewatched this. I could spend my dance just listening to this on repeat
16:34 Ashley says "keep going" so she can join in on the next line, I love it
So many of these are longer than 6 seconds, but I like to imagine everyone in combat stops and lets him finish. Even Vecna.
The whole time between Whitestone and when they actually meet Vecna he's just scrying on Scanlan like 24/7. "It's my favorite show. Gnome man sings random songs."
No one:
Absolutely no one:
Sam:sings
Matt: the sound... of your voice...
Watched this many a time. Now I legit shed tears because the cast reactions aren't anywhere near this now. The song join ins and love is something I want more in my life.
I know I shouldn't be surprised because he was literally on Broadway, but man does sam legit have such a good voice
Really needed this after watching all the Mollymauk and Vax videos and crying at 1:30 am, so thank you!
8:44
Wow, what a voice.
I just want him to keep going
Raphays Ic there’s a part 2 :)
Ok Marisha is totally Sam's biggest fan. She does a lil dance whenever she can, or sings along
9:03 will forever be a favorite
What's the original song's name?
@@doomnoises1 Fly by Sugar Ray
@@JasperForge thank you!
8:23 Holy shit I didn't know Taliesin was the bass in these
Grog's spaghetti absolutely killed me.
Killed Matt too
As much as I love season two, I just realized it won’t have Scanlan singing “Thordak, the Cinder King” to the tune of Frosty the snowman and it is automatically inferior lmao
Joshua Alldredge
He's singing to the tune of Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer 😛
That is a wonderful collection. I didn't think I was going to sit here for the whole length, but here I am, enjoying every second. Thank you Dani and Sam
okay but the harmonizing at 4:25 is AMAZING???
this could also be titled liam o'brien falling in love for nearly 17 minutes
11:59 Matt must've remembered this going into Mighty Nein
1:18 Sherry might be my all-time favorite critical role moment. All of the cast members are fascinating to watch every time.
This is brilliant. Didnt know he actually sang during the sessions! A true Bard! Tosss another coin wooo... came hear after hearing Pull my beads of Love from Legend of Vox M
I love how at 16:18 everyone else is losing it and Liam is just like, "yeah, checks out".
its so fun to watch marisha here--any time she isnt singing along, shes dancing!
Why is the thought of Percy singing "I wanna build a snowman" so great
But percy is a snowman, hes from white stone, with white hair and pale AF
@@OnitaFreeze I am 1000% up for this headcanon
4:23 I love that everyone, including Matt, joins in for that part hahaha
I come back to this once a year at least and it never fails to make me laugh, I love this man
I made a longer one 👀
'Yenk, you will be our friend' is such a clever twist on the song.
I'm glad to know someone has finally acknowledged my superior musical talents and compiled my greatest hits.
Sam: *starts to sing*
Top table: *loses their mind*
5:46 this is magic...
11:25 - multiple fatalities. The entire top table is dead, and Percy too.
15:52 Just imagining the members of Vox Machina breaking out into spontaneous limbo tunes, full on backup dancer/singer mode... 🤣😆💀
Thank you for making this! Favorite - Like a Dagger - or Percy's Gun. Kudos to you and Crit Role and Sam Riegel
8:23 that was great xD i love to watch them improv
I love watching Talison like keep time with Sam like he's making sure the song is on point
4:24 NO ONE resists the "ooooo", not even Matt (Taliesin has supernatural powers)
At 13:56. Sums it up for me oh my God lol Freaking gold my man
Thank you, you've done The Everlight's Work
I don't think anyone can play a bard again, no one can beat this, all these songs are f*cking gold
"i wish i had wish"
-Scanlan- hurts to this day
You are all geniuses… I genuinely appreciate your art The legend of Vox Machina is y’all magnum opus 🎉
5:11
Liam completely disappearing under the table is a mood.
8:17 i love the laughter and then the sudden switch to seriousness of "Dominate Monster"
Thank you, you lovely person! This just made my day so much happier!
I think 4:09 is the best by far, the players singing together perfectly, the way Sam ends it and trails off while staying in tune, it's just perfect. :)
you're right.....he is no holla back gnome!
it's really hard to choose, but if i had to i would say that 8:44 is honestly my fav
Which episode is this from?
NothinButRags ep 76 Brawl in the Arches
6:48 for me, though it's only by a hair's width better than most of these.
Sam is a Genius, who is inspired by such a wide range of songs! But what makes many of his song's Extra Special is when the others join in. I especially loved when the audience of a live show sang along too.
This is what I love the most about Critical Role. It's like a hive mind where one person makes a reference and then everyone else jumps on it and keeps it going for anywhere from a few seconds to the next eight minutes.
15:26
my boyfriend got me into critical role, and showed me this video. this absolutely killed me and I asked him to replay it because it was so funny. he asked if I wanted context, to which i replied "nah i like my no context fish paste." now, its 4:43 in the morning, he's asleep and I'm rewatching this because I miss him and need a good laugh. Chris, if you're reading this.. I love you
One day, i wanna marry someone that looks at me the way Travis looks at Sam while he's singing.
9:54 Marisha's smile makes me smile..
11:25 Laura's laugh makes me wanna laugh..
16:16 Travis' reaction and the immediate change in his eyebrows get me every single time.
Sam is a legend.
Love that he comes up with these on the spot it's impressive
I miss Scanlan sooooo much 😭. Sam kills it as a bard
9:23 is my personal favorite.
Watching Matt's face during this is amazing
12:21
"We are those people"
Yes, they are!
God the money I’d pay for a Scanlan parody cover album
Oh my gosh, I wish I had that talent playing as my bard. This also made me realize how much I miss Scanlan.
I love the ones when Matt gets dragged into Sam's shenanigans.
If only he knew that the scanlan shorthalt i'm a gnome part was going to be used in a Critical Role Hamilton Musical thing and was gonna be Amazing lol
Missing the awesome "And you miss me, like the deserts miss the rain" dissonant whispers!
ExceedProduction what ep was this?
Never mind I found it. (Yes I’m doing a part 2)
