The way all the players immediately start copying the soft touches in the first clip is so funny because it is their default setting, they're like little comedy monkeys primed to start doing group bits at a moment's notice.
i love how none of their PCs are ever romantically involved with each other, but are still always either best friends and/or most trusted allies. like i feel like they truly are best friends that happen to also be into each other, which is just like Best Friends Deluxe Edition™️
They played a couple as a bit for a sketch (the one where a regular guy is dating a LotR style elf maiden) and then started actually dating. Which is both cute and extremely funny.
I think Emily has said somewhere that she would like to ‘romance’ Murph in game, but she is constantly being cockblocked by Murph opting to play foot tall gremlins and monster-virgin boyscouts.
They _kind of_ romanced in Starstruck, but in a way that could definitely be read as that or just as a funky fresh close friendship with sight (in my tone deaf to social cues opinion) heteroeroticism
@@KatBambiHonestly, when I started watching Starstruck Odyssey, I was 100% certain they were in game married and was disappointed to learn they weren't (although I do by now also ship both Syd and Barry with other characters but I'm polyam so that's not a contradiction for me) and I think this might indicate that it's a good thing they're usually "cockblocked" by various factors bc else, they'd end up pretty much in game married every single time and as much as I love that idea, it might get old at some point
one of my consistent favorite things in d20 episodes is when emily pulls something batshit and murph looks INCREDIBLY confused but also INCREDIBLY in love with his avatar-of-chaos wife (and immediately yes-ands her)
Okay, hot take, but Em isn't an avatar of chaos. Pretty much everything she's done has been insanely tactical, balanced by the fact she's an actress/comedian, so if it comes to it, she's chomped down on the bit when offered. Hilda Hilda was her trying to maintain her secret identities, admittedly with some errors, but it was to a direct point for her character, and it was only when Brennan called it back that she really got into it (The bit was offered). In Crown of Candy, as Saccharina, she annihilates half the battlefield in two successive rounds, *on the fly*, using a couple of basic spells and abilities of her character. The true tactician emerges, however, in Starstruck Odyssey with Operation Slippery Puppet, which she set up ahead of time, and had catalogued, ready to go. Later in the same season, she obliterates a Vercadian Protector Droid with ship's guns, but again it isn't random, she had it. It only *looks* like chaos because she thinks so laterally and so fast that it appears like she's just making it all up as she goes.The only times she wiggles at all from that is when she is presented a solid comedic moment to play with.
The chicken moment in Naddpod will simply never be topped. You need the 10 minutes of set up to realise how devastating the stages of grief were that murph goes through in the 10 seconds of full silence
I recently listened to all of naddpod this past year and I can't remember laughing so hard at any other memory than that one. The silence after she asks I remember actually having to pause to laugh. The balnor scene in smugglers bounty is a close second for sure 😂
Normally when someone says their spouse has the best laugh, it's just love speaking (which don't get me wrong, is beautiful). But when Murph says it, it's the objective truth
@@julesking1303 my favorite thing about this comment is they changed it so the night yorb is like. A cw typecast lady On this weeks episode of supernatural, The role of the night yorb will be played by like. A human person in a cool jacket
I love how Emily’s PCs spontaneously cartoon gag barf like that’s a thing people can do I love “I real quick throw up in a bush” has the logistical hilarity of “I roller skate ten feet away and shoot a package of expensive perfume into his back” but it’s a subtle. You have to think about what it would look like irl and it’s baffling and I love
listen i don't know what exact combination of emotional and psychological cues you combined into the last few seconds of this video, but I was watching on my tv and it was enough to make me open it on my laptop just to make some sort of a comment. I guess I just want to say that these people (Emily, Murph, the Dropout gang, the naddpod gang, etc.) are so inspiring to me, too, and a big part of that is in the way they love each other in addition to everything they create with each other. And the whole video was great--you are a clearly a genuine and thoughtful person and it shows in your editing alone--but that last few seconds with whatever the FUCK that piano piece was that activated a section of my brain that immediately sent tears to my eyes... idk I just feel like you get it, and I get it, and all the people who rewatched that part to the point that it's got a big 'ol "most replayed" spike on it get it. i'm so grateful to have this group of creators, storytellers, and just good fucking people look up to and inspire me not just as a creator, but as a person who also loves their friends.
Emily's "three hot guys" joke in Hot Boy Summer* gave us probably the best Murph laugh of all time *For anyone not familiar, Hot Boy Summer was a side-campaign that Emily ran for Not Another D&D Podcast, the boys plus guest Zac Oyama as the four PCs
if you ever do another compilation, please consider the conversation of what murph should do if emily turned into a rabbit (i think it was an 8BBC mario adventure book episode) cuz that shit was wild and has lingered in my mind for years
holy fucking shit, i had to go back and rewatch this just for the editing alone. no joke, nobody's doing it like you homie, i love how genuine you are, and the ending was very cute and wholesome. i love people that put their passion into their work, and your passion clearly shows. thank you for making this, even if it wasn't meant for me or anybody else, and i hope you make more in the future. edit: lmaooo i'm sitting here cracking myself up, i looked up the song you used in your video because i liked it so much, how ironic i'm listening to "At Midnight".....at midnight. what are the chances lmao. nice music choice btw.
I started watching Emily and Murph through D20, and initially couldn't help but feel this way or that way about Murph. Now that I've spent more time watching their content, I'm realizing that I was unfairly projecting my own shit on Murph, and fully recognize that he's simply living the life I want to live. Emily Axford is the exact type of chaos gremlin who I'd love to spend the rest of my life getting bamboozled by, and Murph is sweet boi who's only crime is whatever sin he committed in a past lifeto make the dice gods hate him
WAIT I don't actually watch that much D20, is the long haired, no-glasses beefcake at 5:12 actually Murph??! Did this man go back to character creation, holy crap!??
my fav moment is in sophmore year when fig disguises herself as a guy being racist to riz and murph IMMEDIATELY jumps on it before brennan can do anything about it. they play off each other so well
Jake and Amir: Table Read has a really good couple of Emily and Murph moments and came before they were actually dating and totally foreshadowed their relationship
Why not both Murph throwing Milano cookies out his window so the woodsfolk stop trying to hit on his wife worm There’s like... a thruline in their friend group about Milano cookies as some kind of deeply valuable archaic fae currency. And I think that’s neat
putting “love is love” over a straight couple is the funniest thing you could do
was literally about to say that lol I love it
in the D20 community we accept all relationships and identities even weird fringe things like 'straight people'.
@@shotgunbadger speak for yourself i think its disgusting

@@dragonstryk7280 counterpoint: not all chaos is unplanned
@@quietlychaotically Counter-counterpoint: Not everything that goes fast is random.
I think the things Emily does and says make sense to *her*, we're just not at her level
I adore the lingering appreciation look Brennan gives Emily after "you inspire me" it's the SWEETEST thing in the WORLD
Can't believe you missed the fhsy moment of "Yeah... that's my husband... count 'em out baby, count 'em slow"
Lou was like "Really now?!" such a great moment
The chicken moment in Naddpod will simply never be topped. You need the 10 minutes of set up to realise how devastating the stages of grief were that murph goes through in the 10 seconds of full silence
So good lol. Murph did suck a great job setting up how deadly the trial was with the hag and then boom.
I recently listened to all of naddpod this past year and I can't remember laughing so hard at any other memory than that one. The silence after she asks I remember actually having to pause to laugh. The balnor scene in smugglers bounty is a close second for sure 😂
Im amazed wife worm got put on youtube so quickly, i love this fanbase
WIFE WORM ❤
Wife worm energy is 100000% my favorite energy by far from anything anywhere
Ify Nwadiwe is a philosopher king IRL
We need to put her in her place 😳
That dnd court was probably the most unhinged one I've ever heard lol
not the emotional ending music over Brennan's smile to close out im dead he is all of us looking at axmurph
Normally when someone says their spouse has the best laugh, it's just love speaking (which don't get me wrong, is beautiful). But when Murph says it, it's the objective truth
I'd like to think that I'm an Emily Axford looking for my Brian Murphy
May we all be so lucky to find him.

truly did not even think about how city pigeon
Meanwhile Jake is a mysterious and majestic hawk.
Ohhhh I just know Emily would start crying if she watched this
Ahh yes my parents - maniac wife worm destroyer of hard encounters and really chill normal guy city pigeon
I think Emily’s laugh is one of the best I’ve ever heard. It’s so infectious
aww the look on brennans face at the end, i wish someone i knew said something that kind to me
I don't know you but you inspire me! 😸
Show me how it’s done :)
I’m glad u have so much love in ur heart
starstruck odyssey murph & emily is one of my favorite things ever
“So how it works is- you buy a large, two-topping pizza, and I? Give you three dollars :)”
“Razz me, my husband!”
Y’know what fuck it I’m also wife worm

This is so sweet, thank you! I absolutely agree with everything you're saying about their love for each other and how inspiring it is! Big love ❤️
I can’t think ab murph singing Emily’s laughter or I’ll vomit (I’m a child of divorce)

City pigeon and wife worm and their two cats caldwell and jake
Awww! Brennan's lil smile at the end 🥹
this finally convinced me to listen to naddpod, I have only resisted because another long series is gonna kill me, but it'll be worth it o7
absolutely worth it imho

them playing a couple on jake and amir is what made them realise they liked each other!
I crave what they have despite being aromantic.
I always laugh at “that means IT’S SMALL!”😂
Last part brought a tear to my eye
truly the couple of all time
Y’know sometimes I forget that dimension 20 is an off shoot of another company
it is absolutely insane how good the music is that you used
ive been looking for more murph and emily compilations
thank you so much for this compilation. this duo means so much to me
I come back to this video every couple of days
Why am I crying at that ending yall. It's 6 am I gotta go to work
Genuinely they make me smile/laugh so much my jaw hurts
YOU INSPIRE ME~~
I’ve been longing for something like this aaaa
also the end of "jake and amir: Table read"
I am a Murph, desperate for an Emily.
There was an Emily looking for her murph somewhere else in the comments, maybe you should get in there
*moonshine vomits* and I’m dead.
I still prefer monster bait wife over wife worm
Why not both
Murph throwing Milano cookies out his window so the woodsfolk stop trying to hit on his wife worm
There’s like... a thruline in their friend group about Milano cookies as some kind of deeply valuable archaic fae currency. And I think that’s neat

Murph getting so deeply uncomfortable at the wife worm bit lmao
WIFEWORM X CITY PIDEON!!! also just the "............chicken...."
This was incredibly sweet
They're so stupid in exact opposite ways and I love them so much

Someday I'll have an Emily or Izzy.
