Thank you!
Godrick is literally the judge, jury, and executioner because he grafted them all onto himself before the trial
"You are not a Judge, you are the entire courtroom."
All those with in favor of guilty please raise your hand... ✋✋🏻✋🏾✋🏼✋🏿✋🏻✋🏼
Lmaooo
Maybe even the thief. Needed that soap
And Palpatine in Stars Wars manipulating both sides of the war still insisting he’s the entire senate
Not gonna lie, a runebear with glasses complaining about how someone stole his soap is the last thing I expected to see this morning
Why would you lie to me about that?
He could have used literally any of his two dozen hands but, no. The dragon must hold the gavel. This is (the lord of all that is) Golden.
I’d like your comment but uh…69 likes
Edit: someone ruined it
@@malware9668 "hehe funny sex number"-weeb
Hey! If you have a dragon hand, you use it.
@@LevityMire fax
@@LevityMire hard yo argue with that assessment
I would happily bear witness to a whole series of Elden Ring related courtroom dramas, presided over by Godrick. It's the content I never would've imagined I'd need.
Godrick somehow presiding over Rennala and Radagon's divorce proceedings
@@traewilson5127 "And so it says here that you intend to keep the City of Lyndell and the Erdtree to yourself, as well as maintain ownership over the children Ranni, Radahn and Rykard?"
@@saamjaza1742 radahn and rykard are too bud to be in the cort room
Please do this, somebody!
I want to see Radahn suing Malenia for emotional damage
This is the happiest I've ever seen Godrick. I'm glad he's moved on from his desire to live up to the legacy, and has found fufillment in law.
He's got the hands of a judge. And also the entire jury. And he's probably the executioner, too.
@@jurtheorc8117 probably grafted the thief and his lawyers too and is going to go for the bear after the trial.
Law and (golden) order
@@AH-mp1fh XDDD
he really is just always pissed off
I love that he has to get his face real close when he's banging the gavel, like he's trying to do some detailed model building and doesn't trust the dragon head not to miss.
He’s like, “alright, still getting used to this. Easy, easy, easy does it. BANG BANG, nailed it”
Nah he broke like twelve other gavels prior to the glintstone footage roll
Runebear: "who steals soap?!"
That one merchant in Uhl palace ruins: 👀
Considering that the Golden Order is beyond disrepair, its probably pretty hard to get yourself a usable soap on your own.
Soap is relatively easy to make though.
@@mikelitoris6923 You gotta find the merchant in Siofra River to get the cookbook though
Oh that's who's on trial
@@mikelitoris6923 easier to steal
This is all totally in character for 3 reasons:
1: As a tyrant, Godrick is Judge, Jury and Executioner
2: Godrick actually has a hammer on the end of his axe he uses to smash the ground.
3: Godrick would totally flex using his dragonhead-arm to pass judgement lol
Now we just need Radagon and Rennala's divorce proceedings. I can only imagine how awkward it would be for Radagon and Marika to switch places throughout.
Ace Attorney x Elden Ring?
This.
Ranni mutters something about killing Marika after this, Rykard stays silent, Radahn asks his mom to stay with Radagon, and Godwyn is just looking at everything in confusion.
@@goroakechi6126
That would be the Final Case.
Marika: then my dog set fire to my tree
Man posted peak and fucking banished, hope the DLC makes him return
I love how you put a Marionette soldier's helmet as the cheese grater.
I thought it was the jar cannon for a minute 😂
@@nathanhendrickson790 The Jar Canon was the gun
This gets funnier the more I think about it. The courtroom. The dragon arm holding the gavel. The hilariously small stature of the gavel. The “Bear Witness” being not a command but a literal bear witness. The bear being upset that the Tarnished pulled a gun on him after stealing his soap. The bear is wearing round spectacles. The soap is literally just the soap sprite from the menus in Elden Ring.
The brief pause in the boss music as Godrick taps the gavel. This video is peak comedy.
Or the way that he gestures at the witness with multiple hands
The grafted hand on his right arm doing an "Ok hand" gesture for a single frame too
I just love how excited Godrick is to be in a place of power as judge and how seriously he takes the position
Considering he's mostly a joke, a court of law is where most of his true power lies.
As the judge, jury, and executor
@@thetau4866 The one place where the other demigods can’t really mock him for being a little demibitch, because he can sentence them to Evergaol time
I love the little smile Godrick has right after doing the pun. You know he was waiting for so long to whip that out, and what a moment it was.
This was golden. You could say it was as golden as the golden order.
Well, he is GODRICK, the lord of all that is golden!
Still more golden than godrick is grafted
GOLDEN ORDER IN THE COURT!!!
I read this reply to my man and he looked very disappointed (probably cos he didn't think of it first) xD
Would have been best u stopped at the first golden
Okay just to mention when Godrick says bear witness. He sounds absolutely insane.
I mean, when he says that same line during his boss fight, you’ve beaten his ass to the point where he desperately cuts off his own arm and sticks a dragon head on it in a bid for greater power, so yeah, he’s not exactly right in the head at that point.
@@zyriantel9601 he wasn't right in the head to begin with, since he's taken to grafting
@@doyourbest_uwu And he also tried (and failed) to punk Malenia, of all people.
Is this a cry for help, Godrick?
So lemme get this straight....
A Rune Bear is suing a tarnished (Our Character) for apparently stealing not only his cheese grater, but also his soap. And...for some odd reason...Godrick The Grafted was deemed honorable enough to be the Judge of this trial.
This is some Ace Attorney levels of fuckery, and it's Brilliant lmao
Not just that, said Tarnished also pulled a Jar Cannon on the runebear, thinking the runebear would be upset about the theft.
I need an Ace Attorney x Elden Ring mashup
Not only is the bear suing its also a...bear witness
Edit: had to check how to spell suing
Objection Your Honor... It attacked me 1st and he have heart of a dragon
I suppose we could’ve put Gideon in the judge’s seat, he’s about as scummy without also being a deranged demigod
"I COMMAND THEE, LAUGH! Do you have any idea how long I've worked on this joke?!" - Godrick the Garfield
Oh, I get it. "Bear witness!" and the witness is an actual bear.
Im embarrassed to say, unironically, i missed that the first time. Only caught it the second time
Im so stupid. Im...so fucking stupid.
1. He wants everyone to pay attention (bear witness)
2. The witness is a bear (bear witness)
@@davidhong1934 This is amusing on two levels.
@@hugofourie1193 Don't worry, it took me the fourth rewatch and the main comment for me to realise this.
0:19 Margit wright (part time lawyer): "Foul Tarnished, in search of the Elden Ring, that's who!"
In an alternate universe, Godrick abandoned his desperate chase for lordship, finished lawschool and is now a harsh but fair judge in a medium sized town, specialized on family matters. He married a doctor he met there and they are now expecting their second child, after his wife has given birth to a healthy baby girl one and a half years ago. They named her Godhyld, and she is the sunshine in their life.
And Crafting is his hobby? (See his body)
Godhyld, Lord of Sunshine
Aww. :)
DONT BRING THE SUN INTO THIS DO YOU REMEMBER WHAT HAPPENED IN THE OTHER GAMES?
@@SeventhGod77 May the Sun shine on this Lord of Cinder
It's now my head cannon that all the bears in game are nice and chill and just playing the role of raging animals.
When Godrick's arms all point over to the defendant, brilliant.
Not the defendant... The BEAR WITNESS!
one of them turns into a 👌for half a second, truly a work of art
First I thought “damn, animating all those hands must have really taken a lot of time”. But then I saw the details on the bear and now I think that that’s where all the time and strength was poured into
The little pause right before he taps the gavel, BAHAHAHA!! Thank you for this!
even the music paused, bruh.
That part killed me faster than he kills me in combat…
I’ve watched this each day for a week straight and it’s still funny as the first time I have developed a problem lol
I want u to know that this video has been trapped in my head for months now. Never fails to make me laugh
Elden Wright: Tarnished Attorney
"Turnabout grafted"
In one universe, there'd be Ace Attorney media based on this and it all begins with, as per one of the top comments, Radagon and Rennala's divorce proceedings.
In another universe, ̶B̶e̶n̶o̶i̶t̶ ̶B̶l̶a̶n̶c̶ the Tarnished is called upon to solve a Poirot-esque family feud caused by Godwyn's murder, with the help of ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶u̶s̶p̶e̶c̶t̶ Ranni (and of course Melina, who's probably the Helen of the bunch).
bru this is really good
Thank you so very much!
Btw, you are the first person who superthanked(is this even the right term?) on this channel!
I love how the dragon looks so chill, he's just happy to be part of the trial
Its dead
It's very dead
Dead as fuck
Dead as hell
It's been dead for a good long while
As a bear lover, seeing a rune bear ask the audience who would steal not only a cheese grater, but also soap makes me suprisingly empathetic.
Godrick's the lord of all that is golden after all, no wonder this video is amazing
No that's his father? (Relitive?) Godwyn the golden
@@Aash1r I'm no lore expert, but I believe that Godwyn was called golden as he was the most favorable child of Marika (like with Frigg and Baldr), while Godrick actually claims to be the lord of all that is golden. Though it's probably just a title, as he does not possess anything gold-related nor has claims to anything but his Stormveil Castle and Limgrave which, in my perspective, do not associate with gold.
All in that lineage were called the golden. Godfrey, Godfroy, Godwyn, Godrick...the golden bois.
@@BizarreM I thought he was called golden was because his older brothers were omens mohg and morgott
Making him the first "true" child of the golden order
Okay but I believe it was a PAIN to animate Godrick's model. I can't even begin to imagine bones he has given all his appendages
“HE STOLE MAH SOAP!! WHO STEALS SOAP!?!?!?!?!”
I love it because he's not even really mad about the monetary value of the stolen items or filled with righteous indignation or anything like that, he's just kinda flummoxed by the entire situation and wants things to make sense.
@@webbowser8834 wtf is going through someone head when they are breaking and entering someone houde to burglarize it and they see a soap and says "yeah this two"
mf came into someone else's house like it was a supermarket on black Friday shopping
Meth
I'm not kidding. The original video, the guy's cousin broke in when he was high on meth.
@@apollodorus4759 thats explains it.
The poor.
*Dramatic music* "Forefathers one and all!"
*Dramatic music pauses for a little tappy tap*
*Dramatic music* "BEAR WITNESS!"
God I love the pause the music takes when he uses the gavel
And the dragon head gently using it
That opine made this the best video of the year to me
love how one of Godrick's hands just does the 👌🏻 for a split second frame as he's pointing to the bear at 0:08
LOL that is awesome, I had to slow the playback speed to notice it
@@GoodGaming-GG that was so sneaky 🤣🤣
Godrick flashing the circle game for a fraction of second is just *chef's kiss*
I was wondering if anyone else caught that. Thought it was a glitch at first.
This is tops. 9/10. Deducted one point because of the missed opportunity to have a one of the hands throwing subtle sign language and gesture as an easter egg.
The inertia and overall movement of runebear's glasses! So good!!
Man, goosebumps everytime I hear that BEAAR WITNESS. What terriffic line delivery, music in my ears. He is so erratic about his own greatness and it sprays out of him like a fountain. Holding the grafted dragon head into the sky, presenting it to his forefathers and calling upon them to BEAR WITTNESS
This feels like an Eric Andre bit, and I love every second of it.
"And now, ladies and gentlemen, a Rune Bear! Rune Bear..."
*the Rune Bear enters from behind the curtain, crushing Hannibal with its grab attack
"I am no longer a fan of this bit."
@@conspiracypanda1200 "Who killed the chosen tarnished?"
@@conspiracypanda1200 "turn that root! Into death! Turn that root! Into death!"
The way he leans in to bang the gavel gets me. He’s just so excited and having such a good time.
I made this joke like two months ago and have been looking for any form of media about it. I feel so *-humanity restored noise-*
The marionette helm as the 'cheese grater' is lowkey genius
I can see the man's accent through the bear, real incredible stuff.
This man showed up, made one of the best elden ring animations ever, then disappeared. What a fucking legend
The little hits from the gavel really sold this scene🤣
Gotta hand it to your animation skills with the little breaths he does as he’s about to speak louder. The part right before he says “Who steals soap?!” is really well animated in attention to detail!
We need more animations like that. (Especially with Godrick) Good job, mate!
And damn that bear is hilarious)
Is this where mohg beat the allegations?
I love the little trill in the actors voice when he says "Witness".
It’s the best delivered line in the whole game
This is it. No other elden ring meme can ever come close to being better than this
I need an animation of godfrey waking up to radagon after a night with marika. Good job!
Don't forget the midly confused Rennala
Turnabout Lords
Godfrey demands to know where his wife is, cue Radagon and Marika switching back and forth to argue with each other while Godfrey looks on in confusion
This bear witness joke got to be the most elaborated joke in the whole Elden Ring community
the very careful, yet firm tapping of the gavel with the dragon head. amazing
I love that the mention of stealing soap worked so perfectly here hahaha!great stuff!
We all need soap for a bath right!
This is the universe were instead of trying to beat you in 1v1 fight, he took you to a court battle
Not nearly enough people are talking about the lovely glasses wearing rune bear.
And it instantly makes the ever-terrifying Runebear look like a friendly NPC.
The bear's perfect mouth animation is the cherry on top of a luxurious cake, just golden
Saw your animation on r/EldenRing. I think this is the best comedy video on Elden Ring period. Absolute perfection
Why did it take me this long to get the “bear witness” punchline
Bro i literally talked about this having to exist with a friend like a few weeks ago, I love this, it’s genius
I love how the choir also stops when he hits the gavel, implying that they are PRESENT in the courtroom and sing whenever Godrick speaks.
The animation in this is just, amazing man. Godfrey's arms are so well done lmao.
I didn't see Godfrey in video where is he?
@@rafsandomierz5313 my bad, meant Godrick. I personally blame George R Martin for naming all the characters so similarly.
@@EvilBakaCat Oh ok.
This video is 1 year old but already feels like a classic that will be remembered for years.
Here from reddit, this is absolute gold
My favorite line in the whole game, "forefathers one and all, "bare witness!"
The cannon being the gun pointed, imma go and point my cannon to a runebear witness right now
He pounded the gavel because he knew he was about to spit some hot fire with that "Bear witness" line 😮💨
God dammit, I saw the punchline coming from a mile away, and this still managed to make me laugh like a madman. Absolutely stellar, 11/10.
I love how the "Bear Witness" almost sounds like he's trying to old back a laugh.
Did you know godrick has a much stronger move named bear testimony
I'm losing my shit at godrick knocking with the hammer and then: "BEAR WITNESS!!"
Honestly such an impressive animation, there's so many great little touches in this I love it
I certainly was not expecting the sudden pause for Godrick to pick up the Gavel using not his hands, but the Dragon Head.
And I was half-expecting the camera to pan to the 'Audience' aka, a bunch of Corpses sitting limply in a chair.
Perfect. So this is what the Rune of Perfect Order is capable of.
The thing which got me most is when he used the Dragon Head to hammer and looks so fucking joyed about it
He literally could use his capabilities to gain money, fame, love...
Instead, he did this...
(and this is awsome).
of everything i could be laughing at... the thing that broke me was the music stopping for godrick's gavel and coming back right after
0:08 Ah crap, the Grafted arm on the left got me haha!
Which one
@@declicitous1763 The one not pointing to the right. It'll be obvious when you see it.
@@isaach4296 just noticed it
@@isaach4296 I still do t get it
@@Gary_a_normal_human_being Its making the thumb touching index upside down sign but for just a frame before switching to the bear, put it in slow motion and you'll see it
Godrick has never been more meaningful to see than in this; I mean just look at all the animations he did within less than 10 seconds!
this is hilarious i need more of it
I think the defendant Mr. Tarnished will be okay.
His lawyer can just call Sir Gideon Ofnir to the witness stand and rest his case.
Gideon could probably testify to who shattered the Elden Ring if it proved convenient.
There has to be a CURSE YOU BAYLE version now with igon and bayle
Mr BAYLE!!! you stand accused of the assault and attempted murder of igon
So that’s why the rune bears are so angry, some tarnished just went and steals their soap.
The mouth animation is so good that now I want a runebear npc in the dlc!
forefathers one and all! please pay attention in the court room.
The tiny glasses on the bear really sell the voice/accent.
There is no way this video not reaching one million views
Holy moley, that animation is smoother than heavy cream
FOREFATHERS ONE AND ALL _looks down to make sure he hits the block with the gavel_ BEAR WITNESS
Godrick is animated so friggin well
I really gotta appreciate the animator for making a few hands point at the bear witness
I have been thinking about the phrase “bear witness” ever since I traded his remembrance for Grafted Dragon so thank you for making this
0:08 i cant believe you got me with that hand on the left god dammit
Legendary Boss discovered
I could bearly hold my laughter.
Reading your pun was unbearable.
@@PyranoTheDev its ok just bear with me, just this once.
@@TarnishedEldenKingI even decided to reply to it with my bear hands.
Dude, the dragon arm with the hammer killed me.
This is grate, I could bearly stop laughing
I love how Godrick’s dragon arm is the limb that’s holding the gavel.
