Of course Sam nails the one about wine.
He is a wine-oisseur
Figures
My thoughts as well! 😂
🤣I didn't notice until you mentioned it. 🤣
going second kinda helps. most of the guys do well when they're the first to retell the story
Head canon: Every telling of this story is in fact still Beau, but she's at a bar telling it, and gets progressively more drunk each time someone asks her to tell it again.
I know it is a year later but I cannot express more how accurate that sounds haha
Petition for Marisha to recreate each of these in character
Travis: The story Beau tells at parties.
Marisha: The story Beau told the Judge.
so she tells the judge she purposely engaged in sabotaging a rival business?
Aeon yes, but articulately
I saw it as every retelling just Beau at the same party telling the story over and over whilst getting more and more hammered.
@@aeon106 We've seen Beau in front of judges. That sounds exactly like what she'd do.
I feel like it'd be the other way around: "Yeah, so I was drunk and went to the Stassmans' place and drank a bunch of their alcohol."
Stassman lawyer: Objection!
Judge: Let her continue.
Beau: And then they were like "woah she's so cool and can drink so much, let's give her the good stuff".
*Stassmans confused in the background*
Beau: And then, after some drinking, *barfing noises*. I spewed all over their stuff. Y'know, 'CAUSE OF THE ALCOHOL.
Judge: Seems legit.
*later recounts original story at a party*
Ashley went sleeveless, and that automatically makes her rendition the most accurate.
Also the first who made the spew inducing drink something that the rivals provided.
She also did so much talking with her hands, whether it was on purpose or nervousness it was pretty on point
“Where are your eyes Matt?”
The wald hexe took them, clearly.
Man after this sweet frat party we're gonna hit up the Vortex! FUCK YOU!
Wald hexe :) means forest witch
@@guidetoanything no no, im pretty sure they just misspelled vortex, the hottest club in Rexxentrum
@@beanbomb47 vortex is the hottest mind palace in rexxentrum *
OMNOMNOMNOMNOM
Marisha's story actually had a twist for me, because when she said Beau ingested that herb to puke I thought the plan was to pretend to have food poisoning to ruin the winery's reputation. Then she went and puked in the wine.
In hindsight, that is the Beau thing to do.
That's where my mind went to first too, but possibly because that's what my most recent character would have done.
I thought the same thing. I was very confused for a moment.
Same
I was right there with you. 👍
I thought the same, but i forgot pretty quickly lol
Start of the episode: "Greetings, I am Expositor Beauregard Lionet, tonight I shall regale you with a tale of deception and quick thinking
End of the episode: "Sup, it's Beau. Yeah I'm drunk, what about it!? Anyways here's a story about some cool shit I did."
Inside you there are two wolves:
@@hvilluminati one of them is a lesbian. the other one is also a lesbian. you are a lesbian.
& F U
Started out, level 20 Beau.
Ended...Level 1 Beau
Well he also went first lol
I love how Matt just keeps correcting place names and geography every time it comes around to his turn
The Jester one was particularly fun to watch Matt's mind break with all the wrong geography in the stories compared to what Wildmount actually has.
What really struck me is how he just started describing the Stassmans‘ gaudy interior design, which was never part of the story, but he _knows_ what their house looks like and he’s just DMing on autopilot.
@@Fawriel Hardout, poor bastard is too bashful to just own it lol.
Me too!
The Lionette Guide to Setting "Boundaries":
1. See a flyer.
2. Go to the Tossman's house.
3. Drink all their booze.
4. Barf all over their possessions.
5. Beat the hell out of them.
6. Have a thoughtful conversation with your dad about cause and effect.
Beau: "All clerics know about this herb."
Jester, the Cleric: "Like, some kind of thistleberry thornbrew... or something..."
Well - to be fair - Jester is hardly a classically trained cleric. lol presume Beau meant your average cleric.
@@Drakan21 then again, that sounds exactly like something Jester would know about to prank somone with.
Though she probably has a more imaginative name for it.
why dose thistleberry thornbrew sound like something i use to by in world of warcraft
@@sundavar Thistle Tea from World of Warcraft, probably?
Trying to pass off Beau's laid-back tone while frantically remembering details is a tough balancing act.
Hence why they all start sounding like they’re on various substances.
Number of words including f**k:
Marisha: 0
Sam: 1
Laura: 1
Taliesin: 0
Matt: 3
Ashley: 12
Liam: 12
Travis: 11
Conclusion:
... Travis really held back on the f**ks.
Additionally, Talesin had no fucks to give.
i love that sam added a bunch of curses to beau’s story, taliesin cleaned it up, and then it magically came back tenfold
Also, Ashley swears like a sailor.
I counted 14 for Liam, did you include the part where he says "I'm fuckin' Beau" a bunch?
12 for Travis, which is still a jump down from Liam by my count
Thank you, youtube branch of CritRoleStats
(At the Beginning)
Dairon: “That’s my star pupil, I recently promoted her to an expositor.”
(At the Ending)
Dairon: “I’ve made a terrible mistake.”
At the ending or about 5 minutes later lol.
Yaaaaas
Beau: (blackout drunk) Fuck you Dairon it’s a dope story
i love how when everyone else's video is on freeze at the beginning the entire cast is like "LOL LOOK AT THEM LMAO!! PANIC EYES!!!" but as soon as it's ashley's everyone just "WOW BEAUTIFUL!! MAJESTIC!! YOU LOOK LIKE AN ANGEL!!!"
I like how Ashley fixed the timeline with the pop-popping of the guards. It is rare that the story can fix itself.
And then Liam dropped it!!!
Not so rare. In every episode someone fixes a part of the story.
I want a T-shirt that says "You did what you did, and what you did is what you did, and you did what you had to do, and you set... BOUNDARIES."
I'm loving the steadily increasing rate of swearing between all the people.
By Liam's story: I'm Beau. Fuckin'.
More swearing and more martial arts 😂
It's Ashley haha
I don't feel like this one was very difficult and yet it still somehow became a different story. As for Taliesin's story.... I personally think a Cad story would be the hardest because nearly everything he says sounds super important, but a Molly story would be more entertaining and if he does a Percy story I want him to use his full name like 10 times and add in a bunch of complex engineering/gun terminology
Edit: If it's a Percy story Taliesin should start out with "My name is Lord Percival Fredrickstein von Musel Klossowski de Rolo III and I'm going to tell you a story about my family..." And then list all of his family members who have equally long names.
I actually think Cad would be easiest. Molly and Percy would both intentionally mess with people.
Hannah C I think the thing to do with a Cad story is make it like it’s already the second position. Give it a bunch of ums and uhs, backtrack to details he forgot, add in a few stammers
@@evansaschow True, true. He would also forget pieces. But I still think Mollymauk and Percy intentionally screwing with people would be worse. They would find ways to sabotage.
I hadn't even thought of Percy's name .... that would be painful....
I kinda want him to do a story featuring... The Owlbear.
Did Sam, Sam of all people, just get THE. MOST. ACCURATE. RETELLING of a story we've seen so far?!!
Of course he did, it was about wine
Well, it was about wine. Seems legit.
I feel like Travis’ retelling of Ashley’s story was up there
And who can forget Liam’s of Laura’s story? That was incredible!
It's also important to keep in mind that Sam was number 2 this time. The 2nd person to go is always the most accurate to the original. The 3rd person begins the quick and dramatic downward spiral that Sam is known for escalating.
I love how every episode the whole cast is always blown away by how gorgeous Ashley looks in her segment
Laura - "Can we know who you're gonna be?"
Taliesin in Caduceus voice - "Yeah, no, it's gonna be great."
Marisha - "You have three options."
I like to think Talisien gave a hint.
I secretly hope for Molly. Our time with him was really short and I love that cheating devil...
Probably Molly. He said it would be painful. Although i can see Caeduces talking slowly being painful
@@Fionor01 I'm sure that any character Taliesin chooses will be a treat.
Percy could go on about his younger years with Cassandra. Molly could weave a fantastic show of the circus. Caduceus sits down with a cup of tea and retells of a prank he pulled on his siblings.
Same i think it's cad. But it would be awesome if it's Molly :(
@@copycrow4486 Not only that, but Percy has a ton of esoteric knowledge about science and history that he'd be able to easily insert into the story; I think a Molly story might end up around a more chaotic Jester, with his half-truths and eloquent wording; Caduceus would talk so slow and he'd definitely forget some earlier plot points and add them in later. Edit: Also I've just been reminded about Owlbear and I don't think I need to say why a story from him would be fun to watch and hard to retell
What I'm saying is, while I also hope he goes with Molly because we saw so little of them, each of his characters are going to be really entertaining and cruel in one way or another.
Travis does not get enough credit for the most consistently accurate story teller.
That's what I've been saying! I wonder if he's always near the end cos they know how good he is at this so if they put him towards the back the story'll already be toast by the time it reaches him?
So was Liam till suddenly he wasnt
@@shambhvilokre Liam took it seriously the first 3 times then he just went ham on all of them
the boundaries that Beau set was not being allowed inside the Tossmanns' house ever again
I love how the end changed from “Miss you all” to “See you all next Thursday ;)” It truly has been a long time, can’t wait for it!
Just you wait.
After 10000 years, WE’RE FREE!
Liam Ashleyed a lot harder than Ashley this time, imo.
Also, I was low-key hoping that the title of this one would be The Expositor's Exploits or something similar
And Sam nailed it the most. I feel like this episode was drunk...
50:43 Liam is about to disparage Ashley's retelling, and then he remembers that he is next XD

Bless you
U are doing Gods work
I am sorry I ruined you like number. Now we hav to get you to 690.
Did anyone else notice that Matt started the "boundaries" line, but everyone thinks it was Ashley? 😂
Les because the way matt used it kind of made sense and he added in other details. From ashley on it was just “YOU MUST SET BOUNDARIES”
@@thewatcher6478 Yeah Matt used it as an organic part of a sentence, and I think it was the only part Ashley remembered so she hit it hard.
I like how every retelling after the first has a saying of something along the lines of "I knew it was the stotsmans" where they would be really bad advertising posters if that wasn't obvious
"I knew it must have been the Stotsmans, because the posters had their logo on it and it was clearly advertising Stotsman wine. Another case solved by future Expositor Beauregard Lionett."
Since later versions dropped the rival wine family thing, I think they assumed it was meant to be an anonymous "fu" to the Lyonettes, rather than an advertisement.
@@FulcanMal that's fair. I just found that difference to be funny
@@Vegas242 She's almost as great a detective as the duo of Nott & Jester.
Yep this is like
Marisha. - sober
Sam - 1 bottle in
Laura - 3 bottles in
Tal - 6 bottles in
Matt - 8 bottles in
Ashley - 1 bucket in
Liam - 2 buckets in
Travis - 3 buckets in
Beau getting drunker every retelling
taliesin is that anime character that only opens their eyes when they get serious
Coincidentally, he voiced Snake in Zero Escape: 999, a character who only opens his eyes once in the game, when he gets very serious :D
Gin Ichimaru
I love how Matt's version of Beau is basically Beau's version of Tracy. "And like, I knew, that like, that poster was just not like...gonna fly here in this town."
It's not a knock against Matt anyone. I just really feel like this is how he sees Beau. lol
There's a Tracy somewhere deep inside all of us.
"It's Traci with an 'i'."
Matt plays a better Beau than Marisha does. Lol
Ashley: I will butcher this story the worst!
Liam: ...Hold my special stuff
Hold my fey cat haha
Hold my daggers
I like how Marisha just made a fan version of that one Skyrim quest from the thieves guild
And it slowly turned into the quest with Sam Guevene/Sanguine.
The funniest part about this is Marisha didn't say the word "fuck" once in her story, and by the end of it every other word was "fuck" 😂
I feel like Taliesin's just gonna go the route of Percy being the proud father and bragging about all the accomplishments of his and Vex's multiple elaborately-named clever children.
That would have been far, far kinder than what he wound up doing.
1:04:40 And that is when Travis decided...he is gonna make his friends talk like Macaroni
Oh I hope
Chutney could also be amazing
A hundred percent. I had that same thought when I saw his face.
@@deborahelder2212 I NEVER CONSIDERED CHUTNEY ?!?!?! I WANT THAT SO BAD
The group- "everybooooody"
Laura- "No!"
The group- "yeeeeeaaaaaah'
and how Matt immediately stops them because of fear of DMCA... :/
The Team: Who are you gonna be Taliesin?
Taliesin: (dropping his voice, tilting his head just so) Aw, its gonna be great.
The Team:... Who are you gonna be, you could be three guys!
Its right there you guys, right there.
sigh
Ashley brought full Ellie energy to the Beau show. lol
Who else participates in this and tries their hand in remembering the story?
I haven't, but I just might now.
Every time.
My partner has to put up with me laughing and muttering “No… Nope. No! That's not it. … Where did - No!”
Time to start posting fan cams of us trying to retell immediately after the storyteller!
I've started the game with a couple of different friend groups, and I'm awaiting results.
It sounds like beau is getting progressively more drunk every time the story gets retold
And violent. In Marisha's story Beau punched one guard. In Laura's she decked two. In Taliesin's she beat up a bunch of them. In Ashley's she mowed down the entire family. Too bad Liam forgot that part, otherwise by Travis's turn she would have killed literally everyone in town.
Miłosz Skowroński honestly that seems pretty on brand for beau
I love that liam copies the mannerisms of whoever he’s following including even the things that are definitely just added pauses
Start of the line: Beau's dad enlists her to use cunning to deal with some rival winery's fliers. She proceeds on a path of espionage that ends with her popping one guard.
End of the line: Beau sees an indirect flier and shows up at a rival's house and drinks herself sick. By vomiting everywhere, she sets boundaries, because she did what she had to do.
Previous 5 stories, detailed fairytales and lore of the realm. Beau's story, " this one time I ruined a rival to my family's business by puking on the tour." Classic classy Beau.
Pickidelli Plum.
21:20 you can watch at travis slowly loses his grip on reality
Lol ty
Fizzle foschizzle
Laura : "Well technically we also have Darrington Brigade that nobody have touched yet"
Travis : 👀
1:04:40
Me: IS MACARONI SAMSONITE RETURNING SOON?!?!
I *need* to hear the rest of the gang try and pull Macaroni's voice, especially that high pitched laugh.
Yes that happened lol
Sam going second actually might be the best decision yet, his specific brand of chaos was basically nullified
I love Matt's Beau voice. Just an LA stoner. Also this is just an exercise in how many times Ashley can say "fuck"
I like how as the versions go on, the story gets simpler, has a more pronounced Bro Voice, and has more curse words. I love these people
I’m gonna name my next character Thistleberry Thornbrew. Bet.
I know right it sounds so fricken badass
im planning a fiona applebottom chatacter
Don't forget Fizzledick Fizzle fa'shizzle guys
Love how they all did the beginning of C2 versions of Beau, while Marish went for current and full of growth one.
The power of first impressions
well this story was set pre-campaign so that's a fair assumption.
The progression of this story is the most on brand Beauregard has ever been.
Travis: "I was like FUCK YOU, and they we're like, DRINK THIS"
the first story: how beau actually is
the last story: how some people think in fandom think she is
"can we know who you're playing next taliesin?"
*clear caduceus voice* "it's gonna be great."
"i guess we'll just have to wait and see."
So I watched Marisha's story and then jumped straight to the last person in the chain (Travis) and I'm excited to watch the whole thing now and see where it all went wrong. XD
That’s a fantastic idea! I’ll try that next time.
That's not a bad idea, you kind of experience it as they all do in the end.
I do the same thing, but I also jump the first story, that way I only get the final version. Imagining what would the story actually be, and then watching it in confusion with them is amazing
That's how they did it in the first episode, they watched the first then last, then went through 2-8.
Interesting, I might try that. However, you might have missed matt explaining the eyes thing.
I'm just now watching these for the first time and I'm realizing that Liam is a much more subtle troll than Sam is. He's taking stuff like Ashley's warmup and incorporating that as actual parts of the story while also playing them up a bit
He does it every single time too
Never gets old 🤣🤣
I love that marisha is surprised that they portrayed Beau exactly the way she played her for two years
They should play a whole session emulating the least accurate portrayal of their characters
this would be a BRILLIANT one-shot episode
🤦♂️🙈😝
I could totally see this working as a one-shot inside someone's dream. Jester's, maybe?
I think this would work best with each player acting as the character they can probably portray the least accurately.
Sam -> Caduceus
Taliesin -> Nott
Marisha -> Fjord
Travis -> Jester
Liam -> Beau
Laura -> Caleb
That's my best choice.
I love that Beau went from boisterous drunk to a stoner remembering their day.
can we all just appreciate THE RETURN OF THE MERCER BEARD!
I love that in Travis' retelling, Beau walks into the Tossman's house, says fuck you, then gets offered a drink
Everyone's voice drops like 7 octaves even the guys lmao
Imagine getting lost in Matt's mind palace. This thing must be more complex than the Forbidden city
Like one of those Escher impossible world labyrinth pictures
Oh god the thing I just could not withstand was Liam and “I’m Beau. We’ve established that much!”
Ashley did so well this time, for some reason her style of retelling these matched perfectly with this round
pls make it Owlbear going through his rogues gallery
Crap I didn't even think about Owlbear lol
Sam in the campaign: "My chaotic energy is always refreshing and entertaining." Sam in Narrative Telephone: "I'm going to f**k everything up in the most infuriating way you can imagine!"
Love how Matt somehow turned Beau into Steven Seigal
Taliesin: "I'm just gonna warn you, this is gonna hurt."
He's doing a Mollymauk story isn't he.
I hope so! If he did Percy, just saying his full name would get all of them off to a real rough start.
I might be crazy, which is very likely after an eternity without critical role, but I could swear he did a caduceus voice.
@@MegaAnno2 He totally did, but he may have been trying to mislead us too.
Marisha's version: How Beauregard thought what happened
Travis' version: What actually happened
Makes sense
no. beau is resourceful and smart.
@@TexTheBest Yes, and was a drunkard and troublemaker
I absolutely love how Beau just gets progressively more aggressive and belligerent as the retellings go on. 😂😂
I love the glint in Tal's eye when they say it's him.
He's clearly got plans.
Honestly impressed not only by Sam doing well, but also Laura doing so badly xD
Laura: Technically we have a Darrington Brigade we haven't touched.
Travis: *DING*
When Travis goes, I hope it's about Grog learning to read.
Taliesin Jaffe's laughter is my actual crack, I love it
This is my favorite one so far! Marisha finely tuned her story so well, and it was hilarious to watch as it deteriorated!
Oh no-regard...
... I'm sure this caused the cast great... sorrow-regard...
... I should go-regard.
Is it just me or does Matt's Beau seem like a total stoner? I love it
Stoneregard.
@@CathrineMacNiel bravo XD
I like how the original story mentioned that Beau KO'ed just one guard and, by the time the story came to Ashley, Beau kicked the shit out of the entire family
ANYONE ELSE CATCH MATT BEING AN ABSOLUTE CUTIE PIE AT 24:37 MY HEART
When Taliesin goes, we need everyone to retell it with their eyes closed.
We got wild-eyed panic and utter bafflement instead. It was glorious
Who is the best at this so far? I vote Sam, he IS a Bard at heart.
Critical Role: “See you all
next Thursday ;)”
Me: *-after a bad day- * 😭 okok I will see you too
everything is gonna be alright
First story is Beau with the Headband of Intellect still attuned. Middle story is Beau without the Headband, and the last story is Beau after being Feebleminded.
"This show is about blame and this is your turn in the spotlight." too true too true XD
I love that with each one that Liam does, he has something art-like for each character
Maybe it's because I just finished the second game but Ashley's version of the story definetely had some TLoU1 Ellie vibes
I like how the further it goes, Beau just becomes a more ridiculous parody of herself.
Honestly, hearing them all do the deep Beau voice is the funniest part
I feel like each person added like 20 f-bombs.
Someone counted, Travis added 11 and the two who went before him added 12
You set up Boundaries.
Chk-chk
Boundaries.
I watched Travis's before Marisha's. I must say, those were very different stories.
I love how Liam theme's his recording for each character. It might be some of the recent ones but I really enjoy it.
This story is how Beau sees herself vs. how the rest of the party sees Beau.
I'm so excited for Tal's. There's no way he can fit caduceus into this and while I'd love to see more of Molly's extravagance there's no way he's gonna pass up a chance to make everyone repeat the De Rolo names.
I like how Beau went from a clever saboteur to just lucky that her rivals took her in and gave her all the wine she could drink and took her to the good shit to puke on it. Also, how centrifuge kept changing. From wine distributor, to wine critic (both still believable), to just disguised as an applebottom jeans girl, to getting into a centrifuge, to "fuck you I'm Beauregard."
The word "Malo-Lactate Fermentation" gave me bad flashbacks about the biotechnology class I used to take :-D
Only just noticed the great little detail of Marisha wearing a cobalt-blue top for her Beau story. That's some 10/10 costuming.
