Fireheart is probably my favourite Ben PC of the lot. I love him so much (and in my head canon he is the skycraft character of the ben from the "Life on the internet" episode)
I'm not 100% sure but I think she's meant to be Baradun in disguise being his evil troll self in that skit. She's wearing his clothes and has his staff.
Story of Fireheart still brings tears to my eyes. That one is right in the feels. It is funny, of course. But you know... Give Ben a hug and hot drink, can you?
Yeah, indeed. That one hits like a truck. Worst part on that is, that there indeed are people who are going through same shit. That turned from lightweight to really real.
19:38 Despite all the hilarious skits, I think this may be my favourite. I really loved this. The acting and dialogue was perfect. And it ended with humour so that you didn’t dwell on the sadness of the subject. Beautifully done.
Yeah, I relate to him, and the OCD looter. They managed to make those skits both funny and tender, they're not making fun of the person, they're showcasing an awkward situation, which is where the humour comes from, while still having good lessons for the struggling neurodivergent person and the neurotypical involved. Both grow from the situation. Also, the skull being in the random box, that's my fear that I'll miss something huge like that. Although it also reminded me that you can find Meridia's Beacon literally anywhere, and I was like "you know... I just lost all desire to loot. Funny that."
I love how Viva have managed to really take the whole "what if video game characters had real feelings" concept to a much more tender and emotional level, while still being a fun and easy watch
When Brit rejected Ben's friend request...it hurt. I've felt that. Then when she sent him a friend request, I teared up pretty hard. Powerful episode. When Fireheart said he talked him out of....it, I took it as his character Fireheart talked him out of it, meaning the game saved his life. I'm sure there are millions of gamers who can identify with that, myself included.
Folks consider it "weak" to want escapism. And sometimes I'm in that boat too. But sometimes we just need to vicariously live as a barbarian whose problems are as simple as whose skull to crush today.
@@stillcantbesilencedevennow There is nothing weak about having some escapism. The problem arises when you have difficulty letting it go. I've been there.
The Fireheart skit made me realise. Watching someone talk about things like depression and anxiety and whatnot through the third person makes it sound a lot more horrifying doesn’t it.
Just realised Ben and Britt accidentally swap usernames mid conversation with Greg during the 'Low Charisma'sketch, made me laugh way harder than it should
Watching Britt take out those goons (and being exhausted) while our garlic farmer cheers her on is pretty much on par for those single hero adventures and realizing that a warrior with a sword isn't going to cut it.....
Ben is a real gem. We all LOVE to see Alan, Adam and Rowan - I mean, of course we do, right? They ARE VLDL. We of course also love Brit and Hamish and Byron and Allie, but seriously, Ben in the more serious skits is CRAZY good. Like, goosebumps good. I hope we keep him, and the others, for a long time coming!
God DAMN as a creative writer/roleplayer, Fireheart's actual creator definitely hits RIGHT in the dead center of my heart. As someone who has been socially anxious and very close to being a misanthrope even, all I really had were games or writing which I could just immerse right into and be someone entirely different. Like a better version, someone I've always aspired to be but never had the strength or willpower to do so. Anyway, that's enough of that! All I wanted to really say is: Thank you! From the bottom of my heart that you literally debunked how most of us decent roleplayers really feel like on the inside!
Everytime i watch your videos i feel like a child who can't wait to play his favorite action rpg again. You're absolutely nailing it with every video! ❤ Greetings from Germany!
Your delivery of that "alone… scared…" line (by Fireheart) always touches certain feelings and memories buried deep inside me. It's so relatable, I don't know how to describe it. Takes a few minutes for me to get myself together again.
0:29, r.i.p. to Adam who's complaining bout how boring the quest is and has to endure Brittney saying, "Can you find the hidden lore?" until he steps into the town's library. 😂😅
The Fireheart episode was great to rewatch, such emotions 😢. Directly followed by the creepy child players episode. The switch of theme made it even better!
2:50 legend says he's still there to this day, his body reduced to bones amongst the books, his soul trapped there for eternity, listening to the voice drone on endlessly
I would appreciate if Fireheart can tell his strange friend Ben that I _do_ relate very much, and if he ever wants to grab like a coffee, or maybe an egg, or a stick or something - that would be cool.
I swear that fireheart episode is genuinely one of, if not outright, your best episode. It's got the right amount of comedy and great acting/writing with a musical score that makes the whole thing come together like a big budget film experience. I don't know how, but you guys get better with every season.
The roleplaying skit is somewhat relatable to a lot of gamers out there I would say.. the fact that the acting is so well done is a true testament to why this channel is so popular...Ben is so good at both comedy and drama you could watch him for hours...Brit is so good at acting with just her expressions that you genuinely feel what she is feeling when Ben conveys his emotions...really good channel all around and some of the best actors from anything I've seen in along time
I love these compilations, one idea though, especially because of your DND skits, is to create a compilation of one particular character. Ie put all the videos with Baradun back to back, also Bodger, and maybe even other characters as well. I would love to rewatch from the beginning to see how the characters progressed.
Charisma Is some of the funniest skits Ive ever seen...Ive watched it like 5 times and it never gets old....Alan's part here is super funny and rowan at the end...masterpiece
0:42. I love the vacant BUT almost undetectable look of mischief on Brit’s face as she forces Adam to read. 😂 And then, at the end of the sketch, an adorable look of evil glee!
Supercuts were (still are!😁) greedy little binge fests for me when i discovered them. Epics are the best! See what i did there😏? Any chance you guys (and the Ladies too!) Might do more of the WW II ones?🤔
Hey, literally just some friendly advice: I try to say "guys and gals," or replace "guys" with "folks." The brackets around Ladies make it seem like an afterthought and peripheral, which I can see is not your intention. I'm a woman, and I just say "guys" all the time, drives me nuts. And I haven't seen their WWII stuff, I'll have to check those out!
@@moongirl786 thanks moongirl! Some return friendly advice... When you tell an old man how to express nomenclatures he learned in another century, and has been properly operating for over 50 years.. Well, that's OUTRAGEOUS! 😏 BUT, i hear ya.😉 I've actually been calling gals guys for decades. I'm pretty sure this was a 4 a.m. pre coffee comment 🤔. Thanks for looking out for me!👍😎 TSD🦘👈😁 The WWIIs are great. Wish I could remember the name of the game. Have fun🤗!

Wow. Fireheart's description of his friend Ben was heart-wrenching. So good.
Sadly, there are people, in real life, suffering under similar situations..
Fireheart is probably my favourite Ben PC of the lot. I love him so much (and in my head canon he is the skycraft character of the ben from the "Life on the internet" episode)
Ngl i actually cried so hard when I first watch that vid.
The story of Ben relates to many people with mental health problems ...myself included. 😢 carry on as best we can .
My name isnt Ben, why did he explain me?
26:37 is still the best line, delivered like a true artist.
I might have to start using that IRL
His charisma was so low it broke the guard's standard "Thievery is a crime punishable by death!" And just turned to pure hatred instead.
@@phant0mshad0w56 Guard hated him so much he skipped all the formalities
Virgin Cyrodill Guard: "Then pay with your blood!"
Chad Honeywood Guard: "You there! Fuck you!"
"You there FUCK YOU!" lol ~
2:55 Brittney's mischievous smile when Adam is losing his mind is majestic
Easy Tiger 😅
@@shadowridley Britt is a gem, how dare you.
I'm not 100% sure but I think she's meant to be Baradun in disguise being his evil troll self in that skit. She's wearing his clothes and has his staff.
Britt's smile cracks me up so much, that grin makes me think of my 6 year old daughter when she is planning something evil I love it so much!
It's kinda weird to not hear her with her Kiwi accent, though. 😁
After watching the roleplayer skit, I genuinely think Ben can be in any movie and act better than most Hollywood actors.
Ben is actually a professional actor.
I don't think he was acting lol
He’s the best at playing assholes.
I totally agree!!
It would just be a bit goofy to see Ben in a movie acting all serious :D I'd still watch tho.
Story of Fireheart still brings tears to my eyes. That one is right in the feels. It is funny, of course. But you know... Give Ben a hug and hot drink, can you?
Yeah, indeed. That one hits like a truck. Worst part on that is, that there indeed are people who are going through same shit. That turned from lightweight to really real.
@@eliasar5051 Yes. I have a friend who is dealing with depresions herself. Pretty dark stuff. So it is kinda personal for me.
@@jajsem1109 Me too, im also have a "friend" in that situation.
Man if you guys ever make a real game based on this series. Take my money!!!
There is actually a fanmade epic npc man game. And Ben already played it on streams
Could just be a single player rpg it doesn't even need to be a MMO
I want a copy!
Rowan said in a stream 2 weeks ago that “There is one in the pipeline”
@@IsaiahHorror9783 don't tease
19:38
Despite all the hilarious skits, I think this may be my favourite. I really loved this. The acting and dialogue was perfect. And it ended with humour so that you didn’t dwell on the sadness of the subject. Beautifully done.
36 seasons and not a single bad episode… Netflix take notes
Hell yeah
Fax
nah netflix just cancels the good stuff
Netflix took notes then read them upside down and backwards.
Brit, you're gorgeous 😍
Ben as fireheart was brilliant. Great acting and such a good way to represent the position games have in some people's lives!
Ben's acting is always so on point.
They're all just so damn good!
have you ever been like that in a game screaming for the dialogue to skip or speed up?🤣
The episode with Fire-Heart and the story of Ben hits close to home, amazing work as always.
Yeah, I relate to him, and the OCD looter. They managed to make those skits both funny and tender, they're not making fun of the person, they're showcasing an awkward situation, which is where the humour comes from, while still having good lessons for the struggling neurodivergent person and the neurotypical involved.

Although it also reminded me that you can find Meridia's Beacon literally anywhere, and I was like "you know... I just lost all desire to loot. Funny that."
Daniel, may your Heart always burn strong and bright with love. ❤ *(Friend Request)* 😊
The "Child safe" episode is one of the best I've ever seen.
he's a three year old and can't get across the little stream serves him right for not getting the swimming skill🤣🤣🤣
And he comes back wondering why his character is labeled evil lol
I love how Viva have managed to really take the whole "what if video game characters had real feelings" concept to a much more tender and emotional level, while still being a fun and easy watch
I love how respectful you guys are towards mental health and the kind of struggles gamers tend to face.
Greg being disgusted by bens lack of charisma has to be one of my favorite parts. And rowan ties it together perfectly.
The Guard speaks personally, that ain't the NPC talking 😂
The names above Ben and Brits heads switch for half of the skit.
@@miclane123 yeah saw that and went to the comments
I absolutely love the shot of Brit trying not to break character when Adam sees the library 0:41
"You there! F*** You!" - Made me choke on my coffee with that one! xD

7:08 Greg actually has a trowel for a weapon! Amazing!
YES!! Thank you! For the life of me, I couldn't remember what that is called. A trowel in one hand and a basket cover for a shield in the other.
Fire heart was unexpectedly deep and child safe was dark AF 😂
Britt trying not to laugh when Baradun was talking about his lower back hurting so he needed his elven massage was priceless lol
I told him I told him he couldn't make it across that little stream🤣
The Fireheart skit made me realise. Watching someone talk about things like depression and anxiety and whatnot through the third person makes it sound a lot more horrifying doesn’t it.
Just realised Ben and Britt accidentally swap usernames mid conversation with Greg during the 'Low Charisma'sketch, made me laugh way harder than it should
I noticed too XD
And levels 😂 editing issue prob.
Hopped in the comments for this exact reason
@@troybarber4475honestly I hope it was on purpose lol.
That little grin at 0:44 is absolutely priceless.
The guard's, "You there, F**K YOU." gets me every time. xD
I love how Britt kept herself from busting out from laughing as Adam went inside.
ok but why did Ben’s monologue genuinely make me emotional? that is very real acting prowess right there
Watching Britt take out those goons (and being exhausted) while our garlic farmer cheers her on is pretty much on par for those single hero adventures and realizing that a warrior with a sword isn't going to cut it.....
Ben is a real gem. We all LOVE to see Alan, Adam and Rowan - I mean, of course we do, right? They ARE VLDL.

A guard levelling up is something I never knew could be so terrifying
I thought they were already at max level
An actual video game with the comedy from these skits would be incredible.
And, Ben, as FireHeart, should be next most powerful, only to Baradun.
Everytime i watch your videos i feel like a child who can't wait to play his favorite action rpg again.
You're absolutely nailing it with every video! ❤
Greetings from Germany!
Wow, 36th Season already? I can't believe it's already been 36 years. Here's to 36 more!
Cant believe theyve been making videos since 1987, even before the internet and youtube were invented. Crazy to think about...
@@sergiv5613 explaining the joke are we
@@johannesschult4170 and you explained his joke...
Aaaand you explained his joke
@@JaneDoe-fv6jm and ...
12:34 man I don't know what to call this feeling, but it is quite near PTSD from now on for me :D
I actually have to skip that scene because it triggers what I can only describe as "Gamer OCD" in me... 🤣
Wait, did that guard become sentient when he levelled up? Was that how he was able to threaten assassin Ben in the latest video?!
You may be on to something.
Dude, lol. Well damn
he did get +15 intelligence, didn't he?
not another one!
Your delivery of that "alone… scared…" line (by Fireheart) always touches certain feelings and memories buried deep inside me.
It's so relatable, I don't know how to describe it. Takes a few minutes for me to get myself together again.
0:29, r.i.p. to Adam who's complaining bout how boring the quest is and has to endure Brittney saying, "Can you find the hidden lore?" until he steps into the town's library. 😂😅
Thank you for that. Friending that kid, who was alone. I actaully cried in relief..
These supercuts do such a great job highlighting what great and versatile actors they all are.
The Fireheart episode was great to rewatch, such emotions 😢.
Directly followed by the creepy child players episode. The switch of theme made it even better!
Quando o "fireheart" fala sobre o Ben, o aperto que dá no coração é enorme. Vontade de abraçar o Ben e falar que vai ficar tudo bem.
25:47 His stats are so out of whack that he gained 13 levels, changed names and then reverts back after such a horrible Greg experience 😂.
Confetti shell-shock has my vote for VLDL shot of the year.
9:14 so wholesome to see Brit trying not to smile. It's amazing what you guys have done with all these videos
19:14 Dude this part had better writing than most shows on TV, great work! 💯👌
Wow I just finished the entire ten hour mugger video, and now a supercut of Season 36?! It's a good week
I like to view the first four episodes as a story of why Baradun became the way he is.
Nah. For his position of High Sorcerer, Baradun was born a Sorcerer.
It took him years of study and practice to get High.
I cannot believe, for a show about video games, how good this company is at expressing genuine, deep, truths. They hit so hard, lol
The consistent delivery of the gaurd npc always gets me "FOR THE PEACE OF THE KINGDOM"
that roleplayer skit was heavy.. shit was real af. i didnt think i was finna tear up watchin one of yalls vids lol
2:50 legend says he's still there to this day, his body reduced to bones amongst the books, his soul trapped there for eternity, listening to the voice drone on endlessly
The kid mode by far is one of your best greggs horror is legit
I love how in the loot addict skit, Britt and Adam break character and call each other by their real names.
Fireheart is such a great character! I mean real person! Ben sounds pretty cool, too, I guess.
@45seconds in.. that look of pure innocent malevolence is priceless! lol
4:45
Gets me alongside "You there! F#'k you!"
That guard is super buffed.
Man Ben really hit the nail on the head for me personally …
The "Ugh what do you want?" gets me everytime.
Welcome back -Ben- Fireheart!
Ben: .. follow into the privy.. LOL
This video should just be title “Why Britt is the real MVP here”.
These are awesome, so many frustrating memories to relive.
These guys are amazing. It puts me in such a good mood watching their videos.
being stuck in NPC dialogue is the worst, well done for recreating that xd yall are too good
I would appreciate if Fireheart can tell his strange friend Ben that I _do_ relate very much, and if he ever wants to grab like a coffee, or maybe an egg, or a stick or something - that would be cool.
I love you're guys videos so professional

It's got the right amount of comedy and great acting/writing with a musical score that makes the whole thing come together like a big budget film experience. I don't know how, but you guys get better with every season.
That moment when you have watched all the individual videos and then watches the supercut!
„Roleplaying“ was amazing! Great acting ❤
Watched them all separately already but, hey, any reason to rewatch them is a good reason in my book :)
Then there's Skyrim guards... Who almost die in one hit late game 😂
The charisma stats skit makes me laugh way too hard
Greg’s delivery on “You smelly piece of SH*T!!” was priceless 😂😂😂
The very end with the guard 😂 “YOU THERE, FUCK YOU.”
Every season gets better and better!

36 seasons later and still pushing out amazing content! Keep at it Viva La Dirt League!!
That charisma skit at the end was hilarious! 😂
I tried to get my mom into this show and all the shirtless dude really sold it for her😂. Thank you giys for being your swesome selfs
In the first skit, you can see her holding back her laughter so hard lol Absolutely brilliant
4:32
And there was peace in the kingdom.

Yes another Supercut to another great season! That Vampire and Forced Reading were hilarious.
18:06 Ben's acting is so funny (in a good way). those hands :D
9:35 ok but the way Britt dodges there? Unreasonably satisfying
I want this to be a real game soooo badly
These guys are amazing. Self aware D&D and NPC characters playing out tropes would be a hilarious Netflix show. 😂
I never noticed Britt and Bens characters switch twice during the charisma skit the first time, maybe it only happens in the supercut.
"maybe next time f*ckin' listen to me" needs to become a catchphrase 😅
00:42 you could tell she was trying so hard not to laugh hahaha, hang on a second they swapped levels hahaha 25:35
This is one of your best productions you guys have done, humor 10/10 ***** awesome
0:42. I love the vacant BUT almost undetectable look of mischief on Brit’s face as she forces Adam to read. 😂 And then, at the end of the sketch, an adorable look of evil glee!
“Next time, f***** listen to me” killed me lol
You guys should make more videos on micro transactions in video games 😂
These ppl, every single one of these damn people got talent. 21:31 actually made me feel some type of way
