    What I really love is how everyone's laughing along with the joke in the beginning, and within fifteen seconds of Sam singing there's, like, a genuine edge of "but this is GOOD though??" to their expressions. Domino moment of the ages.

      Same. I was watching The Boys and got a recommendation from Amazon about Vox Machina and I decided to check it out (being a fan of DnD and a longtime player from years ago).
      Loved the first season (actually I was hooked after the opening scene where the other team gets totally wrecked) and decided to check out their sessions here on RUclips. I noticed the Critical Role logo and had seen the YT shorts here and there and decided to jump in.
      I've got all the way through C1 and am on C2E23 now.

      That's true. But I'll have to wait until the trailer for the Vox Machina cartoon comes out. That way I can take this video and append the premiere of the Mighty Nein intro, some interview stuff leading into the Kickstarter animated sequence, throw in some upcoming behind-the-scenes stuff, and then bookend it with the final Vox Machina trailer. The whole point is to tell the story of how it got made. And I think that would do nicely.

    I have watched CR from the beginning and there is a wierd sort of fun in watching Sam's add get more and more wierd and outlandish over time, as well as watching all the others groan in pain whenever he hits a new low. But then there are these gold nuggets, when he really hits it on the head and they are all applauding and cheering, because the add is actually good (like in this case), and I'm laughing and cheering as if he was my child who just won gold at the local track meet. It's so silly, but I get so much enjoyment out of Sam being recognized for his comedic genius.
