@@Rien1782 Because Grog being too dumb to know it was Vax was his only way out, and they realized, "Yup... even if it wasn't Vax, Grog _would_ still assume it was Vax."
@@Rien1782 It wasn’t a reference, they just found it funny as a response. Mostly because it’s so obvious that Vax is the one who would do it that even Grog with his low intelligent could guess.
Laura going full Wifey and saying fuck Rp'ing and going after Liam is the best lol. I swear if Grog would have noticed, Laura would say fuck it and meta play the shit out of this and hit her brother with the broom as well lol.
Muhammad Abdlla I would normally agree with you but Laura is out of character and Laura and Liam argue like in general cuz Travis played a video of them arguing over game of thrones and lmfaoo they really do act like siblings it’s hilarious
Honestly, even Grog should know who did that. Knowing their history (at least during the stream), I don't think anybody else in the group had pranked each other in such a way.
I love that Taliesin Jaffe, Lord of Mayhem, was the first person to realise what Liam was planning, followed by the Crown Prince of Chaos himself, Sam Riegel. Also Travis' "half... a beard...?" somehow conveys more rage in three words than he's conveyed in entire battles.
I think the best part of this is the tone of Matts voice when he says 'you just broke a mechanical pencil'. Also the tone in wich he said 'half a beard'. He did feel sorry for him there. That was eeevil. SO evil.
Jexxer For the show I want this to happen. After attuning to the dwarven thrower, he grows a beard and excitedly tell everyone in the group. We cut to Vax growing a mischievous look before exclaiming to Grog that “this is cause for celebration and for being there for each other, I’ll buy the drinks”. Drinking montage ensues as it finally comes to full night and... someone sneaking around. It’s Vax with a Cheshire grin, lathering cream, and his knife. We hear him chuckle as it fades out. Cut to morning (stereotypical cartoon crack of dawn music) we see the back of Grog (or at least mostly hidden) he yawns, stretches, and puts his hand to his face before the music cuts abruptly and he starts to tremble. Then it cuts to someone else, (either an NPC or a member of VM who isn’t Vax) and with a shaking frame the earth shattering roar of “VAAAAAAAX!!”
3:20 Thing is, Travis is absolutely right. Even if Grog had the mental aptitude to deduce that Vax was the only member of VM who could properly stealth barber someone, he would absolutely go after his prank nemesis for this regardless of the actual culprit.
When I started this, I knew Grog would eventually get a beard. At first it was frustrating at how slow Matt would allow the beard to grow, and then Liam pulled this stunt! I never would have guessed such a small physical detail, a beard, would get such a epic tale.
I miss these older episodes. Watching them was my first experience with D&D, and now that it's such a big part of my life, I'll always be grateful for the feelings of nerdy excitement that came from those first story arcs.
My favorite part of this entire exchange is a solid 15-30 seconds after this clip ends when Laura, while calling Liam terrible, starts laughing with Liam about the whole ordeal 😂.
"Let's just say I assume" Such a genuinely great reply to the rogue shenanigary. No one likes when the rogue gets away with shit in party. Like, everyone has the phase, it's the rpg equivalent of growing pains. But still, no one likes the 'but there's no way you would know it's me!' when a joke goes too far. It's such a satisfying retort too. No, I don't "know". But let's just say I assume. Some people can bend reality three times a day. I made a lucky guess. Weirder things have happened.
To think, they parallel partially in campaign 2, between Yasha and Caleb. It wasn’t a prank, but a shave using Yasha’s great sword on Caleb, still funny as heck.
I watched this specific clip when I had just started watching cr, at the beginning of season 2. My friend who introduced me told me they loved campaign 1 so I looked up some vids. I started watching the older eps and I just watched this one today!
I get such "my husband asked for no pickles" vibes from Laura it's amazing
As i get a burger ad reading your comment....
1:55 travis' chest pulsates.
[Urge to rage intensifies]
His pecs are fueled by rage.
Don’t forget he broke a mechanical pencil with his thumb!
It ripples
It was his heart telling him to seek vengeance.
I will never forget Travis' expression when he says, "Maybe I don't know. Let's say I ASSUME."
I don't get the reference with the "assume" bit, why did the group react so much to it?

At 0:08 seconds in, you can see the contrast between that nefarious smirk that comes across Liam's face, and the pure joy on Travis'.
God I never noticed how evil he looked!
Man really pulled a trollface
Never noticed the mischievousness 😂
"Maybe I don't know, let's say I assume..." 😂
Great
holy shit, he bent that mechanical pencil effortlessly haha

That look of pure rage and death from Travis, and the smugness from Liam. Brilliant!
At that moment they were Grog and Vax
Laura and Liam argue like real siblings XD
People have thought they were really related, by the way they interact.
I could tell by the bone structure and the contempt
I believe they said they made sibling characters because they share a birthday. So Liam and Laura would kinda have a sibling connection.
Professional voice actors people
Muhammad Abdlla I would normally agree with you but Laura is out of character and Laura and Liam argue like in general cuz Travis played a video of them arguing over game of thrones and lmfaoo they really do act like siblings it’s hilarious
I love how the bottom half of the party is just completely enjoying this.
Honestly, even Grog should know who did that. Knowing their history (at least during the stream), I don't think anybody else in the group had pranked each other in such a way.
I agree. Even trinket would probably know :D
Or had the ability to do something like this!
Honestly, the only one who could come to mind is a drunk Scanlan
"Maybe I don't *know*, let's say I *assume*..."
In order of possibilities for a mind like grog
1)Vax
2)Scalan
3)magic
I was genuinely expecting him to in character just bellow "VAX'ILDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN! I WOULD LIKE TO RAGE!"
Top Ten Anime Betrayals
Laura was alpha wifing so hard.
Ian Ventura right?!?!
She looked scared
Ian Ventura because she was the one who was going to have to deal with him after the stream.
@@Alpha0727 someone knows whats up lmaoo
@@helalokidittor9183 she looked scary you mean
I love that Taliesin Jaffe, Lord of Mayhem, was the first person to realise what Liam was planning, followed by the Crown Prince of Chaos himself, Sam Riegel.
Also Travis' "half... a beard...?" somehow conveys more rage in three words than he's conveyed in entire battles.
Sam was the first, he knows Liam the best at this stage of the campaign.
Yeah, Taliesin gets it at 0:29, but Sam know somethings up as soon as Liam speaks at 0:19
"oh no, oh no, oh no" lol
I like how Laura's reactions both work as Vex scolding her brother, and Laura defending Travis.
Laura: Greedy Rogue
Liam: Prankster Rogue
0:26 travis' face just drops from giddy joy to murder vax so quick I love
His Roy Mustang came out lol
I heard his Reggie from Infamous Second Son
the noise Travis makes seven seconds in I cant its so adorable hes so happy aha
That was Laura.
Themerc2006 that was Travis
1:04 Travis wanted to snap Liam’s spine, but settled for the mechanical pencil
I think the best part of this is the tone of Matts voice when he says 'you just broke a mechanical pencil'.
Also the tone in wich he said 'half a beard'. He did feel sorry for him there.
That was eeevil. SO evil.
0:55 *Travis's mind:* *"I killed a man....with this thumb!"*
that poor pencil.
+aiden dineen The true victim of this prank!!!
RIP mechanical pencil
@@prestonbrower762 He was the true MVP....Mechanical Victimized Pencil...
Travis is a softy, but sometimes he's gotta remind everyone in the room that he could kill them all like a rampaging gorilla if he wanted to.
It feels like everyone sometimes forget that Travis has always been the biggest person in the room.
@@gunnarkilborn3915 He really embodies Grog in every sense of the word. Well, except he's clearly smarter than Grog is.
Unless one of them had a mildly creepy doll or something :).
I love everyone thought Liam was just being a dick, until he brought up that Grog started it... then it was just payback 🤣
And Travis warned it was the start “of things to come.” So when he realizes who pranked him, Grog is eager to collect.
Quite a bit too far as usually happens with payback attempts but still, true.
But... but... Vax did insult Grog, which led to the trip. So... technically... Vax started it.
Travis actually flexed his pecs he was so angry.
0:09 liams internal monologue "mwuhahahahaha (thunder claps)"
0:32 - You can see Travis' face drop as he realises
Had to revisit this moment in honor of grog getting his beard in the tv series
0:08 Sam and Taliesin KNEW, look how they're reading Liam like a book
The pulsating chest
The way he said "Motherfucker" and "Fucking Idiot" absolutely killed me
Liam's whole reason for doing it is, "You tripped me two months ago..... Fuck you.". Lol
The greatest prank in the entire history of Critical Role.
Scanlan and the love potion comes close...but just _barely._

And both r done by Vax!
He is such a prankster, I love him!
Watching this video 8 times and focusing on each player each time is so worth it.
How does one break a mechanical pencil like that?
Pure Rage!!!
Antonio Nunez
More like a frenzied rage
Heh good one.
I would like to rage!!!!!!!!!!!!
Have you seen Travis? He's mostly muscle.
3:20 Thing is, Travis is absolutely right. Even if Grog had the mental aptitude to deduce that Vax was the only member of VM who could properly stealth barber someone, he would absolutely go after his prank nemesis for this regardless of the actual culprit.
Liam was so smug when he shouted he had a nat 20
1:54 omg I never noticed but travis made his pecks jump out of pure anger
I love how Percy/Talesin and Keyleth/Marisha are in the traditional 'Observing Gossip' poses
Breaking a mechanical pencil with one hand would make any sane man stop
Laura is basically his sister, so he knows Travis isn’t going to kill him
I love how the other side of the table is just watching this like it's daytime television.
When I started this, I knew Grog would eventually get a beard. At first it was frustrating at how slow Matt would allow the beard to grow, and then Liam pulled this stunt!
I never would have guessed such a small physical detail, a beard, would get such a epic tale.
Liam: Make him make an Intelligence check!
Me: WHO ELSE WOULD IT BE?!?
The prank war got serious.
I love how Taliesin, Marisha, Orion, and Sam are watching this like it's a genuine throwdown.
I miss these older episodes. Watching them was my first experience with D&D, and now that it's such a big part of my life, I'll always be grateful for the feelings of nerdy excitement that came from those first story arcs.
Amen!
this is just like Loki and Thor in norse mythology.
The look on Travis' face....that's the look before someone turns into a supervillain.
I love how you can see the wheels turn in Liam’s head lol and everyone just knows what he’s thinking but I love that they can joke about it
Laura throughout the entire video lol
hawkeye 2124 Half in character sister, half out of character protecting her husband.
I was really hoping at 3:09 you would zoom in on his face twice, once at the beginning of "fucking" and another at the beginning of "idiot"
0:30 Travis clicks in
My favorite part of this entire exchange is a solid 15-30 seconds after this clip ends when Laura, while calling Liam terrible, starts laughing with Liam about the whole ordeal 😂.
you can hear so much Mustang in Travis' angry voice
Vax shaved Grog's beard and then Caleb has a really thick beard... at least at first lol
Travis without beard? Too strange-looking.
Travis without a beard = young bab
0:07: Excited elation. 0:58: I... would like... TO RAGE!!!!
0:09 just look at Taliesin and Sam, Im 99% sure they're staring at Liam.
When Liam said "this much", it was just so perfectly timed
"Make him make an intelligence check!"
Grog: “So you have chosen death”
Years later. I’m still afraid of Travis. Seriously I felt his anger and rage through the video. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
"Did you just break a mechanical pencil?"
I couldn't tell if Laura was upset for Travis... or if Vex was upset at how they'll have to deal with Grog UNYEILDING RAGE.
Boy you'd think if Orion could've remembered more often what Travis did to that pencil maybe he wouldn't have fucked around so much later on.
3:05 ...Roy Mustang?
Grog could be without every sense, including magical, and he'd still (rightly) know it was Vex who shaved his beard
Still one of my favourite moments in the entire show.
the exact 2:00 mark, just the entire one side of the table's reaction is priceless
SUCH A GREAT MOMENT IN D&D HISTORY..
Okay Grog, make a beard check.
I really wish someone would’ve made an Occam’s razor joke after Travis said “I assume”
Can't wait to see this animated.
Laura was so BAE in this. :D
“What goes around comes around, baby”
DaaaADD MaKE hIM rOll FOr IT!!!
"maybe i don't know, let's say i a s s u m e"
2 years later, still funny as hell
"Let's just say I assume"

No, I don't "know".
But let's just say I assume. Some people can bend reality three times a day. I made a lucky guess. Weirder things have happened.
Liam - ”Why did he trip me and make me eat shit 3 months ago?”
Travis - ”Appetizer of things to come my friend”
I’m dying
Gimili: "Not the beard!"
Loki moment.
I was 3/4 of the way through and then all of a sudden noticed Tiberius there! Lol
I thought this whole even happened a while after he left. Guess not!
HE BROKE A MECHANICAL PENCIL!!
Next, he's going to rip off a teddy bear's head.
Jfc.
Liam is so cute and happy in this clip😂
Still love that Vax used a luck on something like this
Just watching Travis is so much fun.
This was such a golden moment.
To think, they parallel partially in campaign 2, between Yasha and Caleb. It wasn’t a prank, but a shave using Yasha’s great sword on Caleb, still funny as heck.
Oh they were so cute when they had no budget.
The only thing that could make this clip better is if Orion wasn’t in it
The peanut gallery(bottom table) is pleased
Grog with a beard... Attractiveness goes double...
Travis is wonderful
i suppouse that is why he died in the end
I’m sure it was for all the Ball Tag games he suffered.
I watched this specific clip when I had just started watching cr, at the beginning of season 2. My friend who introduced me told me they loved campaign 1 so I looked up some vids. I started watching the older eps and I just watched this one today!
It's really weird seeing Liam play an upbeat character.
This was before Vax got depressed then cheered up by Scanlan.
Holy shit, he was pissed as fuck
Portland man 😂 ...
Me: you mean the guy on the back of zig zag wraps
May the beard rest in peace...
needs scanlan to jump on the table and scream "prank war!"
