I adore the scene with Sam trying to quietly take off his shirt while hidden behind what I assume is his binder, with Liam glancing over and silently losing his shit while pinching the bridge of his nose.
it was just a constant "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" from him from then on
There was a moment later in that episode where Matt finally caught him drinking it and saw the bottom at the same time as the shirt and said, “I hate you Sam.” And Sam was confused, and everyone clarified to him that Matt only just now saw the bottom of the mug. At which point Sam showed him a full paper print out of the image, meaning there were THREE of that image in the room at once.
I swear that one of these days when Sam decides to do it again, Matt’s just gonna look at him completely deadpan and say: “Roll a death saving throw.... With two autofails.”
Mercer: Now on the stream, you guys will learn how to handle player deaths. Sam: WAit, don't you mean player character deaths? Mercer: I know what I said...
@@ellerealyay1293 They've had more actually. 115 in C1 plus 57 so far in C2 gives you that, but there also have been a bunch of one shots. The "one shots!" playlist on CR's channel has 25 videos, though one is two halfs of one split into two videos. So it seems we're very very close to 200 total.
"by the way Sam that's a very handsome hoodie you're wearing, I can't wait to open you up like an advent calendar" hey why am I more flushed than a sunburnt gnome
Matt's reaction at the first shirt bit of the second campaign is always gonna be my favorite since it was the first shirt bit I ever saw. Matt's reaction is: "Out of all the shots of my face he manages to find the most cringe-worthy of my expressions." and "I'm not gonna be surprised anymore." and "I'm so gonna get my revenge on you Sam."
@@handfulmousefly Right? How many people can just throw on a Geralt of Rivia costume and has us all be like, "Yup, Matt should definitely play him in the Netfix show."
I swear... When Matt was wearing the shirt, it had the same energy as when Justin(The Adventure Zone) didn't do his character voice for that one body-switch episode XD
My pure enjoyment of Sam's shirt are somewhat tempered by knowing Matt has body dysmorphia. However, I think that if it was an actual problem, Matt would let Sam know. Because of this, I'm back to loving Sam's shirts.
This is truly an important piece of canon of the saga of Critical Role! You sir, madam, or otherwise appropriately announced, have done this community a great service this day!
How is it even possible that the shirts just get better lmfao the one with matts crazy face while pointing at someone had me literally crying on the floor
I feel so much pain for Matt after his "Between the Sheets" episode where he talks about his self-esteem disorder, and then to see his reactions to the shirts.
I kinda see it as Sam is just having some fun with Matt cause he knows Matt is his friend and if he had an issue with it he wouldn't have done it again
I think at worst the surprise of Sam wearing something like that makes Matt smile (even in annoyance) and at best it makes him think ‘well there must be something nice if someone wants to wear me.’
I made a part 2 with all the reveals since this video :)
ua-cam.com/video/DCm_5DCr4Rw/v-deo.html
First shirt reveal: *happy matt noises*
Every shirt reveal after: *annoyed matt noises*
6:27 describes the annoyed Matt noises
4:46 Is matt falling into a spiraling depression
Everyone likes happy Matt noises! :D
9:44 And then it come full circle.
@@megaman161 at least Sam found it funny
Matt really picked his moment, live, on stage, with a crowd of hundreds of people to witness what he would do.
?
Sweet revenge xD
You just know he spent _hours_ looking for the most embarrassing picture of Sam he could find.
Truly he is the game master
With a shirt made in a very similar style to the one sam wears 🤔🤔 me thinks sam gave it him to wear
"i hope somebody gave that to you."
'NOPE, I MADE THIS !!"
so proud..
"Player Death? Did you mean Character Death?"
"Oh no...."
DCdabest oh yes
AmishRiot Yeah, I was fairly sure he said "Player character death".
Player/Character Death
For a beloved character like Gilmore, you hold an in-game funeral.
For Sam Riegel, you leave a stein on his chair in memoriam.
True
@@sandrasmith4839 for a player like Sam you rename him Frank, cremate him and put his ashes in there
I swear that Liam is so intune with Sam that he just knows when Sam is about to start shit....
The power of best friends.
Two years of playing Caleb and Nott would do that to them.
@@forfaerghus8092 they were best friend irl before even critical role season 1
Liam is probably the most respectful and observant of all of them, the man calls Matt "DM" more than he calls Matt with his first name.
@@leinardesteves3987 Arent they together?
"Be sure to watch the new episode of GM Tips this week that deals with PLAYER CHARACTER DEATH"
not just character death player death!
That's a threat if I've ever heard one.

Actually his flask he drinks from
@@smigymuller4870 God damn you're right, I keep forgetting he has a flask the size of Nott herself.
7:25
I’m so dumb, I was so confused by this comment. I keep forgetting binders are not just the things used to hide boobs
@@kikilatorre I know same here, I was like sam with a binder, what will he do??? 😳
9:44 Sam's just like "Time for the shirt reveal, wait, I'm not wearing a shirt to reveal... NOOOOO!"
it was just a constant "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO" from him from then on
All I could think in the moment was, “VINDICATIOOOOOOOON!”
@@sillylittleowlguy2392 He was auditioning for Darth Vader
I love when Sam took a drink, the picture on the bottom just gave us a glimpse of what was going to be on the shirt.
There was a moment later in that episode where Matt finally caught him drinking it and saw the bottom at the same time as the shirt and said, “I hate you Sam.” And Sam was confused, and everyone clarified to him that Matt only just now saw the bottom of the mug. At which point Sam showed him a full paper print out of the image, meaning there were THREE of that image in the room at once.
Stealthlock what episode was this?
@@stealthlock6634 what episode goddamit
Ask Shadow Bolt Moon Calm yoself! It’s episode 77
@@stealthlock6634 lol sorry
Can we all appreciate the “shall we address the Reigal in the room?” As a perfectly encapsulating moment
The alternating wonder/death in Matt's eyes could fill my heart forever
Amazed, mortified, angry, happy. All at the same time.
Oh my god, I love Taliesin's "What are you?!" on the first reveal.
Turns out there are things that the Mighty, Ancient, Taliesin Jaffe havent seen before
when our lord and saviour Taliesin Jaffe has to ask that question, that's when you know you've made it as a maniac
"What are you" is definitely a British way of telling someone they're ridiculous, usually after they've done something absolutely stupid
"Nope, I made this myself" every dies
This only known moment of true fear in an Eldritch god
The rest of the cast always look like they're having a fun time, but Sam just looks like he's playing a game he's constantly winning at.
I swear that one of these days when Sam decides to do it again, Matt’s just gonna look at him completely deadpan and say:
“Roll a death saving throw.... With two autofails.”
Mercer: Now on the stream, you guys will learn how to handle player deaths.
Sam: WAit, don't you mean player character deaths?
Mercer: I know what I said...
@@Medaumplay3 That's arguably better
Fun fact: Exposure to Sam is considered to be cruel and unusual punishment by the UN.
I'd pay for it.
And the Geneva Convention
Just to say I 'like' this comment, but it's on a perfect 300, so I can't leave a thumbs up on it, sorry!
@@SeliasSonne I did pay for it, it was an awesome punishment
That people would pay for
Dear Christ, what even is Sam Riegel?
If they make it to a 200th episode, I hope every member of the cast comes in wearing shirts like this.
I believe you mean *when* they make it👍😁
Omg. Yes
As of Thursday we are at episode 172
We are close we will hit it this year
200 episodes of Critical Role
We just have to wait 28 more weeks
@@ellerealyay1293 They've had more actually. 115 in C1 plus 57 so far in C2 gives you that, but there also have been a bunch of one shots. The "one shots!" playlist on CR's channel has 25 videos, though one is two halfs of one split into two videos. So it seems we're very very close to 200 total.
I aspire to have Sam’s levels of confidence & genius with pulling off those shirts.
"by the way Sam that's a very handsome hoodie you're wearing, I can't wait to open you up like an advent calendar" hey why am I more flushed than a sunburnt gnome
What are friends if not people you can pretend to be gay with?
...or if you are gay irl, people you can jokingly flirt with (like me and my friends) 😂
@@sheameyerson4233 No joke, one of my friends pulled something like this on me so I flipped it around on him
He failed the vibe check 😂
@@thomasnolastname8734you should have pulled down his pants and given him the gock gock 3000 on the spot
@@obnoxiouspedant My throat is as deep as those quotes on the posters in waiting rooms
Wouldn't it be awesome for sam to create a t-shirt of matt wearing his t-shirt?
And then Matt creates one of Sam wearing that shirt, and then Sam creates one of Matt wearing that one etc. etc.
Each with their own smaller shirts of themselves
I think my mind just exploded with the possibility that both Matt and Sam will be the death of this universe...🤯🤯🤯
Every time Matt opens with a disappointed "Welcome back" it's cause Sam is wearing a Matt shirt 😂
Matt had some sweet revenge there, but Sam is the ultimate troll master both with his shirts and in the game.
Revenge is debatable if you listen carefully Sam droğs hints that he knew about shirt and his rection was too fake to hide his laugh
but eventually the title was taking by the johnson she became troll and burn queen!
Sam clutched the MVP award in the final battle against Vecna. And the shirts....well, lets just say that psychological warfare works
SuperSaiyan Yichards “Look what you made me do” 🤣😂 Sams characters are hilarious!

The slow wave of disappointment around 7:34 sustains me.
Matt just got deader and deader inside with every shirt
6:36 when the dm is giving off irritated dragon vibes before RP starts you’ve done something either wonderful or terrible
He's pondering which way to orbital drop a Tarrasque on their sorry heads XD
That's my favourite one. The look on Matt's face is just... perfection.
*"...welcome back."*
¬____¬
If a dm ever looks at you like that, you’re in deep shit.
The semi- growl sigh Matt did is my Monday mood
I think it should be 6:35
6:00
Sam finally assembles all six Infinity Sams.
Perfectly balanced; as all things should be.
It's incredibly unbalanced as all things should be
I... Am...
IRON SAM
Samnos
Why I can I imagine this:
*Matt, As Loki:* I have an army.
*Sam, as Tony Stark:* That may be true. But we have a Grog.
You should've left the moment when matt realizes the picture is also on the Stein bottom, he doesn't notice till later.
It was such a beautiful moment of foreshadowing, just for us
Matt's reaction at the first shirt bit of the second campaign is always gonna be my favorite since it was the first shirt bit I ever saw. Matt's reaction is: "Out of all the shots of my face he manages to find the most cringe-worthy of my expressions." and "I'm not gonna be surprised anymore." and "I'm so gonna get my revenge on you Sam."
3:58 *Matt laughs in DM that is ready to wipe the floor with the player characters*
•_• R. •_• I’ve developed this laugh whenever the players are disruptive and aren’t paying attention to the obvious encounter to come.
"There's nothing offensive to Matt Mercer under this shirt."
Matt Mercer: I'm sick and tired of these muthafuckin' shirts, on this muthafuckin' stream!
Matt: Please tell me that was a gift-
Sam: NOPE I MADE THIS MYSELF~
4:47
Matt looks so sad, scared and confused lmao
Its about the same look id expect to see if someone was holding a puppy next to a woodchipper
He's stated that he has body/image issues and is never happy about his looks.
Matthew Mercer is an amazing handsome bastard
OUR POOR MATT BEAN
@@handfulmousefly Right? How many people can just throw on a Geralt of Rivia costume and has us all be like, "Yup, Matt should definitely play him in the Netfix show."
Watching Matt's hair grow and grow over the years... It's a gorgeous, luxurious kind of thing. The kind of thing you can watch at 2 AM.
9:44 You hear that?
it’s not a siren luring you to a watery grave
IT’S THE SOUND OF KARMA WORKING AGAINST SAMMY BOI
Sam Riegel is a national treasure.
*international
@@DefinitelyNotBandee Sadly they barely ever get to Europe or ANYWHERE for that matter. :(
Ikr :(
Sam is a universal treasure.
Nic Cage will steal him to prove a conspiracy.
9:44
Matt: Omae wa mou shindeiru
Sam: Nani?!?!
Oh shit he ded he ded foh sure
Matt's not used to being on that side of the attack.
it would be so funny if sam had taken off his costume with another pic of Matt
Oh how the turns have tabled
Yeeeeeeesssssss
I swear... When Matt was wearing the shirt, it had the same energy as when Justin(The Adventure Zone) didn't do his character voice for that one body-switch episode XD
"Hey Justin DO THE CHARACTER VOICE!!!"
Wait ong what episode is that? Is that from one of the live shows?
Matt's "oooh" @4:46 was filled with worry and sadness lmao
For Sam's birthday, all of them should wear shirts of his face; or do it for Matt's birthday
4:46 The genuine heartbroken look on his face makes me feel for him
I just want a compilation of Liam o’Brien saying “diplomatic immunity”
2:33 Matts face: that moment when you realize you hate your friends..
8:01 I'm getting a helluva kick watching everybody try to keep a straight face when they see what Sam is doing
I love how this is also a timeline of Talesin's hair
I still loved Matt's reaction to when he finally saw his picture on the underside of Sam's Mug.
I know that this was on the Shirts, but I still wished that you had included Matt's reaction to seeing his picture on the underside of Sam's Mug.
My pure enjoyment of Sam's shirt are somewhat tempered by knowing Matt has body dysmorphia. However, I think that if it was an actual problem, Matt would let Sam know. Because of this, I'm back to loving Sam's shirts.
Maybe it's sams own way of trying to help him through it?
MasterOfBaguettes I mean, he also makes a joke about it in the same clip, so...
Sam would never wear those shirts if Matt had a problem with it
He does? I have to say Matt is one handsome man imo. Especially with his beard now
@@Hearty1100 indeed😎
6:36 The cut to Sam's pure, exalted joy is sending me.
With those Matt shirts, no wonder he became the main antagonist according to the Critical Roll II Opening.
If they sold these shirts in their shop I'd buy one of each
@Bman I'm raising twins, that's the best I can afford!
Sam's "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO"
just brought Joy to my life
7:43 Liam just trying not to lose it
When Sam is screaming "NOOOO-!"
He sounds like the baby T Rex from Jurassic Park 2 lol
I love how the quality of the shirts with Matt get better over time
And now Sam is using Matt`s childhood pictures. The bit gets better year after year.
4:48 that look of pure despair...
I never realized how much I needed a t shirt with a giant picture of Matt Mercer's face on it until now
I searched for a compilation like this earlier in the day and couldn’t find one and now you’ve manifested it into the world!! Thank you!
This is truly an important piece of canon of the saga of Critical Role! You sir, madam, or otherwise appropriately announced, have done this community a great service this day!
7:37 Sam: rolls a 17 I’m stealth. Liam: Rolls Nat 20 perception. Marisha: Rolls nat 16+2
How is it even possible that the shirts just get better lmfao the one with matts crazy face while pointing at someone had me literally crying on the floor
Liam at 7:34 is everything I needed in my life.
Liam kinda reminds me of Martin Freeman in a way. This only solidifies that.
The pure disappointment in that face, while trying so hard to not die laughing
Liam at 4:41 is my favorite
I love how you can just see the grin of anticipation show up on Sam's face whenever he has one of these planned.
7:25 that is the moment in class when the teacher is at their wits end and your friend is trying to make you laugh to set them off
6:34 thats is the sigh of a man who's gonna make rocks fall on both player and player character
I don't know why but all of a sudden I think I would love to see a conversation between Sam Riegel and Tim Curry. It would be marvelously majestic.
andrew s they look similar especially their smiles. Too bad Tim Curry suffered stroke, he's in a wheelchair now.
Whenever Sam wears that shirt with multiple Sam's on it, they should refer to hims as sams
Sam: //ultimate meme lord
Matt: I'm about to ruin this man's whole career.
I love how at points you can just hear in Matt's voice the "it's goin to be one of THOSE nights" lol.
I did not know I needed this in my life until I saw it. Thank you
4:48 the face of a broken man
Best. Arms race. Ever.
"The mercer will remember that"
I've watched this video like seven times now, and I still giggle every time Matt reveals his Sam shirt.
0:52 - Kiss it! KISS IT!
0:54 - INSTANT REGRET
The Riegel Face is a majestic one.
Mercer's face everytime he came up with a mercer shirt was amazing
2:56 Matt's very low amount of remaining life force leave his body, killing him on the inside
9:13 Matt, dont push too hard, youll blow out your ring piece..
Sam is yelling NOOOO,but he looks so happily baffled 😂😂😂He loves Matt so much❤
AKA Matt Mercer slowly loosing faith in humanity
Sam IS the elephant in the room.
Even just seeing all the old shirts makes me miss campaign. Best campaign in my opinion
3:30 inspired a D&D beyond ad and it was just as cursed as you’d expect
I very rarely see Matt actually shocked by the stupidity of his friends but that first reaction was truly something new
4:47 The look of despair is gold!
I feel so much pain for Matt after his "Between the Sheets" episode where he talks about his self-esteem disorder, and then to see his reactions to the shirts.
I feel it's sort of redeemed in the last clip of this compilation...
I kinda see it as Sam is just having some fun with Matt cause he knows Matt is his friend and if he had an issue with it he wouldn't have done it again
I think at worst the surprise of Sam wearing something like that makes Matt smile (even in annoyance) and at best it makes him think ‘well there must be something nice if someone wants to wear me.’
I think Sam does it because he believes that making fun of that fear can be used to diminish the fear itself.
Glorious. Just glorious.
6:24 it just starts and matt is already pissed off
"What are you?" - Taliesin Jaffe
Thank you so much for this beautiful collection of Sam's chaotic nonsense. . .
I love it \o/
There is a small merch bootleger somewhere in LA that has just moved into a bigger warehouse because of Sam.
thank you for this great compilation. brightened my day.
I think it’s more likely that the Ashley bit on his first shirt would taste like a crayon.
I think I’ve watched the bit where Matt reveals his printed shirt about 8 times I just keep on watching it
2:34
*MATT will remember this...
Sam: Oh we're taking our shirts off? -Realization sets in.- "I have made a critical error and I'm okay with this."
I love these moments when Sam does this just to get a reaction from others. Almost like a friendly bully. A frenemy.
one day, EVERYONE needs to wear a sam shirt, especially since, as of now, he's worn one for all of them
I can’t wait for you to put on one of those shirts and the universe folds in on itself.
Sam: And I took that personally
