At first I didn't think I'd like him bc he's too forward and then I realized that's kinda who I am but I'm not a powerful wizard who bed a literal goddess. But with such an active mind it takes me very little to get the "I wanna marry them, get animals, maybe have one kid and adopt more bc one pregnancy is scary enough... Omg would their mom like me?" but I don't text for sht and come out of the house once a blue moon so we are friendly but they aren't sure I actually like them. Bah.
@@grrrfield5660but like, he does say that our adventuring situation is not ideal for family life AND he has a bomb in his chest, so I don’t blame him for saying he’s not father material BUT he doesn’t say he doesn’t ever want to be a father… Forgive this random online person ranting about a fictional character
@@vitaminademorango It's fantastic. And Neil naturally put his whole effort into the role and knocked it out of the park. Love Fibonacci the sentient fish
You missed the best part after reviving Astrion. If you say that the tadpole was supposed to make sunlight non harmful to him, he answers "Well, apparently there's a limit. Somewhere between a nice summer day and THE CONCENTRATED POWER OF THE SUN!!!"
They also missed the best part after Astarion's bit with Shadowheart. "horses are prone to biting" "so do you, but we keep you around don't we?" "haha right...and I'm not giving any rides"
Another great Minsc and Astarion moment: If you take astarion and Minsc near the garden south Lady Jannath's Estate, north of the steel watch foundry, astarion will yell at minsc out for talking to boo because he doesnt believe that Boo actually talks to Minsc. And Minsc replies something like "Well, Astarion. Boo is of good breeding, and so only speaks when he has something nice to say. Perhaps this is why he has never seen fit to speak to you." and Astarion goes "How delightfully vicious! I'm beginning to like the hamster..." I love this moment its so funny.
i know it's all fake for Astarion, he does it to hide his true self, when i'm 100% sure that Gale doesn't even realize how goofy he is and that makes him the funniest guy of the team
At 6:52 when you fell and then all your companions fell in a little row, i died. imagine you walk behind your friend, watch her fall over, then do the exact same thing with your other friends
Gale is truly endgame to me. He has such a wet dog energy sometimes, like how can you be so charming and handsome - but also lowkey sad at the same time 😭 like so dramatic and fast to pour out his emotions, such a nerd and simp as well, yet so innocent and classic about love. Everyone dunking on him is just the cherry on top. I love this "coming on too strong, too fast" energy honestly. Such a well-written character like most of them.
Omg Gale's comment about the Owlbear never leaving your side because you fed it and 'the hand that feeds is the hand that loves' 😂 Like, yeah, we've been feeding you magical items, I get it. Just fully projecting.
4:59 "Now shall we go? Or do you have any other chaos you need to unleash here?" - Skips to next clip where a whole freaking building goes up in explosions. xD Good timing right there.
@@vitaminademorangoisn’t it though? I started making a list of all their creepy lines. My favorites are “pave my path with corpses, build my castle with bones”, “intestines throb, blood whispers” and “they should all be running”
Omg I missed Minsc on my first playthrough because Jaheira had died at Moonrise but now I am going to do everything in my might to keep her alive so that I can recruit the both of them
Yeah, he really is haha. On my second playthrough I got him as early as possible and took him almost everywhere to see what he says. If you take him along for the final battle he can even give a speech in front of all the allies! Definitely a fun guy to have around.
Anything Minsc says is just so adorable and hilarious I just can't. When you first meet Boo you can say "it's a honor" and Minsc will reply :No - it's a hamster" like come on
Mental note - make a valiant effort to keep Jaheira alive so I can eventually recruit Minsc. Edit: Minsc is 100% worth saving. Haven't laughed so hard in ages! (thank you Larian and Matt Mercer!) XD
Dumb moment me and my friend had in the phase spider cave. We sent Astarion out on his own to sneak around the spider matriarch and we had several 'oh no he's fucked' moments. He managed to get back with the gem and we avoided the fight entirely. We spent the entire time humming the mission impossible theme.
@@elenalizabethwait lmao does he choose the highest approval companion out of jealousy? That’s hilarious considering he said shadowheart on my first durge playthrough and I was still deciding who to romance between the two of them (I picked him in the end though) 😂
@@statementofjoespooky1660 yeah I didn’t realise until my 2nd playthrough that he chooses “who maybe could be killed” out of jealousy. Like he tries to act like he isn’t really into Tav/Durge and just “having fun”, but really he is down bad really fast, even if he won’t admit it (or maybe just too scared to lose someone he loves so he pretends he doesn’t love them). Because I played things so different the 2nd game - like getting Shart out of the pod on the ship boosted her approval much quicker, etc I have a high approval with Shart but only medium with Gale (which is kinda amazing because in my 1st game he approves of everything, so I’m having to be a pretty big asshole in the 2nd game to not have him approving haha).
Tav : "Gale, how about added another person into our relationship> Gale : "What? like a child? I neve---- Tav : *sweating like waterfall think how to tell him its local DILF in your area*
I remember being near the Sussur tree in the Underdark and if you interact with the Sussur bloom as a magic user and Gale speaks to you, you can make a comment about something with ducks and Gale's only response is "Quack."
The fact that gale just automatically assumes you’re wanting to start a family with him is reason 1278 I love him.
Are the other 1277 reasons his individual glorious hairs? And 1279 after is the rest of his glorious hairs?
Man’s already planning on proposing by that point, in my head cannon 😂😂😂

Forgive this random online person ranting about a fictional character
"How did Lord Gortash die??"
"Um... it involved a hamster."
"Let's not speak of this."
a miniature giant space hamster
"ASTARION! FISH! ASTARION!"
Fun fact: Astarion's VA now voices a fish in another game. Yes there's been edits and art about this. It's hilarious.
Use your words 😂

@@aslan7232that part is at 5:29!
THE SUN IS A DEADLY LASER
Gale's "What, like a child?" comment always reminds me of that vine that says "What's worse than a r3pist? A child! No!"
Crying
“No! I won’t kill them!!!”
“…Well, maybe Gale” 😂
6:24 Halsin is that one friend that rarely claps back but when he does, you remember why you stopped teasing him previously 😅
DANG SHART NEEDS SOME ICE ON THAT BURN
using boo to end the lives of great villains is truly what he was made for

I love this moment its so funny.
OMG THAT'S GOLDEN LMAOOO
Thanks for pointing out! I'll remember this when playing 😂😂
The way he bounces right back up. God I love him
Your Tav racing towards Gale to see if he approves of a Halsin throuple had me cracking up.
Also I know astarion gets all the love but you have to admit that Gale is unintentionally hilarious and their dynamic is amazing
I always get the vibe their "rivalry" is more them fighting over the title of "snarky friend" rather than actual dislike.
i know it's all fake for Astarion, he does it to hide his true self, when i'm 100% sure that Gale doesn't even realize how goofy he is and that makes him the funniest guy of the team
i love that astarion uses gentle parenting on Minsc and Karlach, the two beautiful dummies of the team. lmao
Astarion tends be incredibly sassy, but still tries to be nice to the local golden retrievers 😂❤ gotta love them all
@@vitaminademorango astarion can be nice when he wants to be. the problem is that he almost never wants to be lol
@@Shenanakins THIS LMAOOOO
But when he chooses to, it's so goddamn precious 😭😭❤
@@vitaminademorango the most precious! it just means so much more coming from him knowing that he has to actively try to be nice because he likes you.
@@Shenanakins EXACTLY!!! It's so genuine and true, it's almost innocent in a way...
9:36 gale's pain cry is so funny because of just how often he manages to dodge the first arrow but not the second arrow of an attack. "Ha-haa! AUUGH"
At 6:52 when you fell and then all your companions fell in a little row, i died. imagine you walk behind your friend, watch her fall over, then do the exact same thing with your other friends
They just thought she was clumsy.
I had the exact same happen in my first playthrough too. I almost died from how hard I laughed
"If your friends tripped over the slot of a gate, would you?"
Astarion and Minsc is now officially my favorite duo lmfao I'm dying 🤣
that little "Ah... Hello." after Astarion closes the book has me in tears
Fully lost it at the thought of Boo and Astarion hanging out at camp omg
Gale: "The hand that feeds is the hand that's loved. It'll never leave your side from now on."
The cub: Aw hell no!
Gale:"I stand corrected."
I prefer that scene with Karlach - she's so adorable and squeaky, and obviously that scares away the cub lol
Gale is truly endgame to me. He has such a wet dog energy sometimes, like how can you be so charming and handsome - but also lowkey sad at the same time 😭 like so dramatic and fast to pour out his emotions, such a nerd and simp as well, yet so innocent and classic about love. Everyone dunking on him is just the cherry on top. I love this "coming on too strong, too fast" energy honestly. Such a well-written character like most of them.
Wet dog energy nailed it.
Like a smart and proud golden retriever who loves you
the "wyll with a y" moment was some premium "who's on first" shit and i love it
11:23 I cannot get over how STOKED Minsc is.
He just wants to help 😂
9:36 reminds me of sitting everyone but Gale on a bench, clicking on Gale, and him saying 'no rest for the wicked, it seems'.
I swear Shadowheart is always trying to start something. Someone can breathe, and she's got some sassy comment lined up.
Halsin shut her up 😂😂
Maybe it comes from her Sharran upbringing?
Shart saying that she can make animal noises to soothe/comfort Halsin, just *chef's kiss*
I can’t tell if she was being genuine
AND HIS BURN RIGHT AFTER LMFAOOOO
@@vincentgeiszler3749best to assume she isn’t, because when is she ever
Astarion and Minsc are so adorable and get along weirdly well. Minsc does that to people, I guess.
Astarion also has great chemistry with Karlach. It's like deep down, he's kinda sweet with overly honest people. He'd make a fine company for autists.
7:15 Worst part is, that isn't even normal for easy, that's just disgustingly insane
It’s insane that Matt Mercer voices Minsc
Snorted my coffee out at the zoom in on Gale's reaction to Wyll offering to cook
5:06 Wyll has the best spell line deliveries
I am so confused. He sets things on fire. This is all I'm seeing here. What am I missing? TAT
Hear the whistle at the end? @@Martha-Novalin-
9:35 “Lovely day this. Now- HOOOAAAHH!!!”
Omg Gale's comment about the Owlbear never leaving your side because you fed it and 'the hand that feeds is the hand that loves' 😂
Like, yeah, we've been feeding you magical items, I get it. Just fully projecting.
15:23 Shadowheart getting yeeted off screen has some good comedic framing lol 😂
YOINK
16:33 I like how the game references the bizarre combinations of camp supplies you can use
Gale on the verge of death, then asking if Tav is okay made me audibly go “awwww!” Love that wizard! ❤
the part about food...too real lmao, also "the nuts are in my pocket wizard. please do not pat down minsc" 😂😂
4:59 "Now shall we go? Or do you have any other chaos you need to unleash here?" - Skips to next clip where a whole freaking building goes up in explosions. xD Good timing right there.
4:44 “no, no, no” repeat button
All these actors and game writers have managed to pull some heavy laughs from me frequently. 😂 I feel so thankful for this game.
One of the funniest but also insulting things is when a companion is down to 1 health, so you tell them to stay at camp, and they get upset at you.
Astarion’s reaction to the gnome with the bomb is the funniest version, imo 😂
Minsc is gold. He was one of the must-have characters from the first 2 games and I was so excited to see him brought back!
Don't forget about Boo! Best duo we could ever ask for
0:15 Tav is a real comedian 😂
I didn’t even know they could talk xD
@@D-Piddy96 my Durge is a creepy little chatterbox honestly. Always making random comments about blood, bones, corpses and death.
@@grymmoire that's... terrifyingly precious
@@vitaminademorangoisn’t it though? I started making a list of all their creepy lines. My favorites are “pave my path with corpses, build my castle with bones”, “intestines throb, blood whispers” and “they should all be running”
Astarion and Minsc conversations are the best thing that has ever happened lmfao
How did Orin, the notorious killer and dangerous child of Bhaal die? She was bit by a hamster…😂
16:21 Hey Shadow heart remeber that time we drank 40 bottles of wine in one night?
Minsc will never cease to crack me up.
Nobody ever clips Wyll, I had no idea he was so funny I’m cackling
Thats cuz no one has him in their party XD
Cause people never have him in their party (and then complain he’s boring). He has a lot to him in fact
When Wyll mentions the forked tongue man... And the spikes I went oh??? Wyll my Tav is a Tiefling. I only see this as a win 😉
I didn’t realize how criminally hilarious Minsc is
Halsin earning the title of daddy with his comebacks 😂
Let me smooch Barcus 2024
I fully support that!
Barcus needs to be an Artificer Companion!!!!
yes!!
Lemme give him a little peck on that bald head of his
Omg I missed Minsc on my first playthrough because Jaheira had died at Moonrise but now I am going to do everything in my might to keep her alive so that I can recruit the both of them
If you talk to her and ask her to travel with you before the fight, you can keep her out of the way
i don’t think i’ve heard any of these lines after literally like 400 hours of playing. insane
Boo the boss killer! ❤
GO FOR THE EYES!
😂 @ 10:55. Gale is all battered and asking US how WE are 😂
Imagine if there was actually an achiviement the major bosses of act 3 with Boo.
Hilarious!
The Boo boss-killing montage XD
I don't even know minsc was so funny XD... Need to give him a chance :)
Yeah, he really is haha. On my second playthrough I got him as early as possible and took him almost everywhere to see what he says. If you take him along for the final battle he can even give a speech in front of all the allies! Definitely a fun guy to have around.
@@cyanoic1161 i'm in my second playthrough, in the circus, so im gonna go for him,for sure! Now that i have jaheira with me in my team :)
4:28 that voice crack is what makes this scene for me
70% of this is astarion, just as it should be
He snuck his way in before I even noticed.
@@cyanoic1161 he was given half the game's humour so I completely believe this
Anything Minsc says is just so adorable and hilarious I just can't.
When you first meet Boo you can say "it's a honor" and Minsc will reply :No - it's a hamster" like come on
BAHAHAHHA I love Astarion and Minsc's dialogues
I love how boo did the final blow on 3 bosses. The real hero of baldurs gatw
All hail Boo, destroyer of worlds.
"Astarion, how is the rat diet going?"
"It may soon come to an end if you don't shut your mouth"
A blessing for everyone.
This video is all minsc and boo lmao so real
I just love the MC's face whenever it comes to Astarion or awkward situation 🤨
I don't know, how many villains I have seen killed by Boo - he is truely a little cute menace
In my head is canon that Tav spends all the trip laughing at their companions dialogues.
Minsc and Astarion as best friends is the greatest part of this I adore the Beloved Ranger. And my Pale Elf husband. ❤
1:10 567 hours, 1/3 of it in EA, and I NEVER thought to try this.
Downside, don’t get the poisoners cloak. I mean I’m still doing it 🤣
Mental note - make a valiant effort to keep Jaheira alive so I can eventually recruit Minsc.
Edit: Minsc is 100% worth saving. Haven't laughed so hard in ages! (thank you Larian and Matt Mercer!) XD
God, this is a great compilation. My stomach hurts from laughing so hard! Thank you! 🤣
Jahira is like:
Hoo boy, nothing I love more than the robust smell of the sewers in the morning!
Matt mercer absolutely nailed it as minsc

5:03 - tav was in fact NOT finished with unleashing chaos just yet
Having Boo kill major bosses should get special cutscenes frfr
In my playthrough Astarion says “Well maybe Shadowheart” so I wonder what determines the difference!
It’s whoever has the highest approval with Tav/Durge compared to Astarion. He said Gale in my first run, Shadowheart in my second run
@@elenalizabethwait lmao does he choose the highest approval companion out of jealousy? That’s hilarious considering he said shadowheart on my first durge playthrough and I was still deciding who to romance between the two of them (I picked him in the end though) 😂

“What like a child?” Is the best one liner response I’ve heard in a game in a while
boo really carrying this playthrough
Half of video:
**minsc**
Tav : "Gale, how about added another person into our relationship>
Gale : "What? like a child? I neve----
Tav : *sweating like waterfall think how to tell him its local DILF in your area*
Okay, I really enjoyed that. Well done.
honestly all of Minsc's dialogues are hilarious 😭
matt mercer you brilliant man, minsc is incredible
I hope they never release Boo as a boss. I've beat this game so many times, but that... that scares me
Using boo wrong. Need to throw him so he can deliver blind justice.
"I stand corrected" Bahahahah xD
"What like a child?!" Actually fucking kills me.
There's a joke there somewhere about Gortash and an Ass, ah yes, I've figured it out, he's Lord Donkey
9:35 "Lovely day this....for now-HAHHHHHHH"
"Well, maybe Gale..." And then the, "Ah...Hello!" is the best XD
absolutely amazing
Im glad that im not the only one using Boo for the victory bites
2:08 Scratch just disappears lol
I remember being near the Sussur tree in the Underdark and if you interact with the Sussur bloom as a magic user and Gale speaks to you, you can make a comment about something with ducks and Gale's only response is "Quack."
Astarion waving at a scrying eye made me giggle
So Astarion, Gale, Minsc, and Boo are the dream team
14:22 this is so funny to me because I’m around this point in the story and I, too, have no earthly idea why we need the hammer.
