The fact that Gorgug is the sweetest guy, and Rizz always knows the right thing to do, yet both constantly get treated like crap, even by their friends, is the most high school thing ever
@brettdreher7682 The only time I've ever tried to get into the game was with a casual and friendly group. But when I showed up wanting to play either a lizardfolk or dragonborn, I found out that was fine, but their world classified those and many other races collectively as "greenskins" and I just kinda found it off-putting
I honestly feel so bad for Gorgug. He went to his first day of school, immediately got punched, got attacked by a corn monster, died, and then got accused of being a creep. Leave my giant green boy alone!!
@@ophiuchus_kin well not necessarily... berserker barbarians are a thing, I'd say only really one bard probably battle Crys (dont remeber the name but it's the weather based one)

I love how Gorgug takes kind of a bard dynamic with being raised to let his feelings out with music, and Fig 100% understand barbarian rage and frustratioon, lol.
I‘m damn impressed. In the whole 20 Minutes between them speaking to Goldenhoard and all the parents showing up, Brennan swiftly switches between so many different NPCs and all seem so different and recognizable. This guy is on another level. Just started watching D20 - can’t wait to binge the rest of the seasons
Dude, it abso-fucking-Lutely worth it. I’ve been watching since late 2019, and the amount of times I’ve gotten goosebumps or literally had my thinking or philosophy changed because of Brennan and this show is astounding. And it’s probably been almost a year since I kept up, because of hyperfixation reasons. It just really fucking sticks with ya
Brennan both makes me want to try so much harder as a DM and also makes me realize that there is just no way I could think on my toes like he can. He’s just phenomenal.
That’s the beauty of dnd and why is crosses so heavily into improv and theater Prepare as much as you want, especially newer players want to go fucking balls to the wall and will wreck your plans and you have to freestyle. Something that makes me want to get into dm’ing
@@queenofvermin yeah, it's part of like, a disciplinary program to keep people from being held back because they're so focused on athletics and don't care about academics. It leads to three categories of jock: smart jocks, jocks who scrape by and/or play dirty to keep grades up, and then the himbos who ask for help.
This is the difference between a DM and a great DM. Rules are there for a reason, but they should never stand in the way of fun. The DM is not a referee, he/she is also playing the game and having fun.
@@Canadian_Zac Lol depends, there is this French Table top show called "aventure", and like, the players always do the most random stuff, so the story completely changed from what was originally intended and the DM had to change all the maps and the like due to one 100 Nat too many, but it was great.
Yeah, Brennan is a very skilled DM. He rolls with all the hilarious ideas and directions the players toss at him and makes certain everyone is having a good time. When I first saw the premise of this campaign I thought it had a lot of potential to be stupid and only worth a gag or two, but this has been excellent and a well fleshed out world as well.
@@Bubaiel i'm not that much of a fan of dark humor, but i laughed my ass off at that part. something about his dad talking about his comically brutal fratricidal murder while his son has just seen someone die for the first time is really funny to me, and i don't know if it's because i've been too little or too much on a similar social situation (minus the murder and trauma)
"Alright, so what did you guys find out about the demonic lunch lady and the missing students?" "Well, we found out that apparently, Johnny Spells does not fuck." "Wait, for real?" that's got to be the most realistic high school conversation I've ever heard.
Oh my god the “It’s weird, cause you’re a half-orc, but this guy could be your dad” “…Dad?” I literally cried laughing the genuine deadpan delivery from both of them oh my god
What funnier about this is that because he is half-orc..... literally anything that is NOT specifically a full orc could be his dad. Which doesn't narrows it at all.
It’s SO funny that as soon as Penelope mentions an actually plot relevant piece of information about missing girls, everything gets wildly derailed and they forget that she mentioned it entirely 😂
Ikkkk it's hilarious because I garentee Murph didn't mean for that to literally happen but they didn't even have time to joke they just took it and RAN 😂😂😂 Improv is the best thing ever
I'm so mad that Brennan just exudes Supportive Parent Vibes, it's making me tear up. All those fantasy adventures from my childhood, I don't think even ONE adult character looked at six obviously-traumatized freshman and asked, "Are you alright?" as their first not-shock-informed reaction. If the vice principal is in on this shit I'm going fucking insane.
“Go and make a crafts roll” **the rest of the party arguing about how they need to do something** fig: **quietly** 17….. Brenden: “they look fucking D O P E” This makes me so happy
Brennan: "The first time I watched someone die, it was me father. He was lying in his deathbed, and I had a daggar up under his ribs, in his heart, and I looked I'm his eyes and I told him, 'You'll never speak to me out of the side of your mouth again', and then momma took me back to first grade." Me: *WHEEZE*
Yeah I loved that exchange, and I also loved how it showed the current state that Fig is in. Fig had reasons to say that, while it is so true that what she said is not appropriate. The characters and how they play the characters in this series, it's SO good.
It might just be because of Zac Oyama being adorable, but Gorgug is my favourite character and I will do nothing but root for him throughout this series
This is the second series I'm watching, but does it seem they're all playing the same as their urban fantasy characters but Fabian?

I could FEEL the exhausting disappointment when Riz and his mom were talking, like she's very proud and happy he made friends, but genuinely disappointed and concerned that he seemingly has no value for his own safety
Brennan's true intention in joining CH was to play dnd with a group of highly engaged, gifted improvisers My favorite long form content ever. I barely notice it's a feature length UA-cam video.
actually, its the other way around! he was already dming a bunch of CH peeps which is what got him the job writing on some of the shows before transitioning into a full time CH writer
It's still insane to me that following a death bed warning to not trust the faculty, between Riz's cop mom and the Vice Principal they just met that day, they chose Goldenhorde.
@@CaribbeanCitizen “See, the issue with going to the cops is, they exist to maintain the status quo, and that primarily gonna benefit those who are already in power.” Bud Cubby
@@CaribbeanCitizen no, it doesn't, they know that the faculty will just act as the middle man and called the cops anyway, so, that was entirely pointless.
Fig flirting with Goldenhoard is so funny, and useful, he tries to bust her on something and she immediately flirts and he gets uncomfortable and runs away. XD
Honestly i think it would've gone fine regardless cuz she's cool with fig by the time she just offers the drink, and i think the fact that casting friends is actually possibly what made anything in the conversation backfire is why Brennan let her do it lmao
"And I said, "You'll never speak to me out of the side of your mouth again." And then mama took me back to the 1st grade. Is that relatable to your experience?" I just died right then and there, the fact that this content is available for free is absolutely incredible.
"I stabbed my father in the chest, the dagger digging into his heart and I said *You will never look at me from the side of your face again!* Then my mommy took me back to first grade"
That game changer episode where they said brennans biggest dream is to be a dad really shows in this ep - he’s supportive and parental the whole time it’s kind of adorable
I love how Emily is so in character, like the camera pans over and she's smoking an imaginary cigarette and doing a hair toss. (BTW This as a whole this thing is awesome, im just living for her character :P)
I desperately want her and Gorgug to be something mostly because he needs a win, but her flirtation knows no bounds with lots of characters and it is indeed incredible.
RainbowRandolf YES! Someone else sees it! I think gorgug and fig could be an amazing couple but Ik that probably won't happen because a lot of times it is hard to separate characters from players.
I love how invested Siobhan is in her character. Everyone is joking about Gorgug going to hell, while she is full-on consumed with panic about Goldenhorde telling her dad she straight up murdered the lunch lady. 24:00
You people better have Brennan on a ridiculously long contract & just pay him whatever he wants. He is the best thing to happen to College Humor in a loooong time, don't let someone swoop him up!
I agree he has a lot of potential, but they are known for raising up there actors so they can get an actual acting career. So even though he is great he will most likely leave them later down the road.
@@afropenguinaccurate but since college humor created their own stream service I think trying to keep the staff around for the long term is going to be happening from now on
Yeah, CH in the past has been a lot like SNL...more like a stepping stone in a career than an end goal...although I most definitely would like to see as much of Brennan as possible
I'm the same way! I saw the clips beforehand and thought he intentionally was looking for it from the start. To learn that it came from a critical failure made me laugh out loud😂
I mean it's like how people in most fantasy universes don't worship the gods who they've seen. Thor is flying around on earth and almost nobody actually prays to him, yet catholicism is still going strong on earth 616 (well a bit less strong now that krakoa defeated death but still).
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 that might be true in comics (idk I don't read comics) but that's definitely not true in most fantasy/fictional settings. The idea of a pantheon of God's that have limited ability to interfere in the material world, yet are very much real and present is a common trope in fantasy. In the forgotten realms, everybody knows the gods exist and they have even had avatars that take human form and DO directly interact with the material plane, yet people still worship them. Or how about the Elder Scrolls universe? Pretty similar situation and again, worshipping the divines is a big deal in Tamriel.
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 to be fair, in Marvel people *did* worship Thor the same way people were actual followers of Norse mythology in the real world, it just phased out of the mainstream as a religion. There are people in the real world today that still worship the Greek pantheon unironically, so I don't see why there would be any reason there aren't those people in the comics either especially when the gods from those pantheons end up being real physical beings. The absence of a detail in a universe doesn't mean it's impossible, the author probably just didn't think of it yet
Dimension20: *So I heard you like Fantasy High..so I paused your Fantasy High to give you an ad for Fantasy High so that you'll continue to watch Fantasy High.*
Siobhan's player's reaction to Penelope's interrogation caused me to laugh until I cried. "THAT'S WHAT YOU LEARNED?!?!" Gorgug became the social pariah of the school, and Riz was shaken, not stirred, in a bath of his own vomit for "Johnny Spells doesn't fuck" to be the focal point of the entire investigation. Priceless.
I love that when Siobhan casts detect magic Brennan remembers the mage hand and adds it in there. Thats a detail i would have completely missed. Brennan is an awesome dm!
I love the effort they put into roleplay! From how you can always see Fig smoking or drinking, how to how the elf is always so stiff like she is too scared to let loose because of trauma- even too Fabian really selling that he's incredibly upset but tries to hide it anyways is beautiful- acting wise and character building wise.
To be fair, Emily does this with every single one of her characters when she plays with brennan. Im not sure if shd does it with other DMs, but with brennan, in his words, she was sent to destroy him
@@kameronmyles2013 Pretty sure she does the same with a court of fey and flowers? I haven't seen it yet but I saw a short from the d20 shorts channel the other day about it
@@kameronmyles2013 Oh yeah, I knew that bit - the adventure one right? Haven't seen the full thing either but I've seen shorts. I was replying to the "I'm not sure if she does it with other dms" bit :)
Everyone talks about how amazing Brennan is and he definitely is. But more importantly, he does an amazing job creating scenarios for the others to make quips and make the show so much better. Zac's "If a teacher is your dad" line is so well timed and delivered perfectly.
The loud vigorous arguing between the players made my DM heart tremble with glee, nothing is better than being so good at causing immersion and drama that players are yelling at one another because of something in game, especially when they almost forget that they are playing characters, and it doesn't matter. Brendon, you deserve a fucking cookie.
"That's for sure not how the spell is used but I'm going to allow it because I think it's cool." This guy GETS IT. Instant loyalty, so many DMs (and players) would benefit from that mindset.
Fig: *nat 1 insight* This guy could be ur demon dad in disguise Kristen: *nat 1 insight* This could be ur dad doing minor illusion to disguise himself to make sure ur praying often Gorgug: *nat 1 insight* This could be ur biological dad Riz: *nat 1 insight* *THIS COULD BE A CLUE*

Yes they are. Had not met either Lou or Ally before this but the two are amazing.
They are, but also this character is very triggering as someone raised in that subculture 😆
@@OccasionalLark oh me too XD
As a ex Catholic with Catholic Guilt™ who's hella gay, I love her so much lmao

the way kristen did a full 180 when she realized she was gay is ICONIC
I could FEEL the exhausting disappointment when Riz and his mom were talking, like she's very proud and happy he made friends, but genuinely disappointed and concerned that he seemingly has no value for his own safety

Fabian’s “I’ll roll with The Ball” is a criminally underrated joke

"How do you wanna handle this The Ball?"
I love that it isn't Ball, but The Ball lol.
He is The Ball. He has simply accepted it
Your God Damn Right.
From an insult to a title. What an honor
I like how barberian class is just a group therapy session
The class is just anger management but in reverse
@@TRUSTeTMguest Channeling is a form of management...
Brennan's true intention in joining CH was to play dnd with a group of highly engaged, gifted improvisers
My favorite long form content ever. I barely notice it's a feature length UA-cam video.
It's the long con, they'll have to do more later in the future now that they are all hooked.
Ahh, long-form improvisation... the harold... the la ronde... the game of dungeons and dragons... all the classic structures!
Funny enough, they started filming FH on Brennan’s first day at College Humor!
IKR
actually, its the other way around! he was already dming a bunch of CH peeps which is what got him the job writing on some of the shows before transitioning into a full time CH writer
"Don't trust the faculty."
Okay but, what if, please hear me out here, we called a member of said faculty and overshared like crazy?
It's still insane to me that following a death bed warning to not trust the faculty, between Riz's cop mom and the Vice Principal they just met that day, they chose Goldenhorde.
@@CaribbeanCitizen too be fair he is a giant dragon man that one of the crew has a thing for, and she is excellent judge of character

Fig flirting with Goldenhoard is so funny, and useful, he tries to bust her on something and she immediately flirts and he gets uncomfortable and runs away. XD

Covered in blood and de-animated cream corn, her first priority is to remodel a cadaver's headwear.
“Can I cast Friends on the liquor and use it when she drinks it”
“That is not how the spell works, but I’ll allow it because it’s cool”
Amazing.
The best kind of DM, IMO.
*Hell Yeah!
Rule of Cool babey. It's responsible for a lot of the powerful moments in the adventure zone: balance, as well
That’s the making of a good DM
Rule 0, What the DM says, goes.
Honestly I had completely forgotten about Fig casting friends and thought the conversation was going really well
Honestly i think it would've gone fine regardless cuz she's cool with fig by the time she just offers the drink, and i think the fact that casting friends is actually possibly what made anything in the conversation backfire is why Brennan let her do it lmao
I love Fig and Gorgug's dynamic. They're so supportive of each other and yet, it's hilarious any time they interact.
There my favorites

"And I said, "You'll never speak to me out of the side of your mouth again." And then mama took me back to the 1st grade. Is that relatable to your experience?" I just died right then and there, the fact that this content is available for free is absolutely incredible.
The paid content is wildly worth it though.

NO YOU DONT. THEYLL RUIN IT
I was thinking Comedy Channel but whatever works
That game changer episode where they said brennans biggest dream is to be a dad really shows in this ep - he’s supportive and parental the whole time it’s kind of adorable
I love how Emily is so in character, like the camera pans over and she's smoking an imaginary cigarette and doing a hair toss. (BTW This as a whole this thing is awesome, im just living for her character :P)
I desperately want her and Gorgug to be something mostly because he needs a win, but her flirtation knows no bounds with lots of characters and it is indeed incredible.
RainbowRandolf YES! Someone else sees it! I think gorgug and fig could be an amazing couple but Ik that probably won't happen because a lot of times it is hard to separate characters from players.
She’s great in Not Another DnD Podcast, if you haven’t listened to that , cuz she stays so in character it’s truly fantastic.
Or they could have an awesome non-sex deep connection … 🤪🙃
it's great how you can see Brennan's original plan with aguefort dying from his tea and not committing suicide

I love how invested Siobhan is in her character. Everyone is joking about Gorgug going to hell, while she is full-on consumed with panic about Goldenhorde telling her dad she straight up murdered the lunch lady. 24:00
You people better have Brennan on a ridiculously long contract & just pay him whatever he wants. He is the best thing to happen to College Humor in a loooong time, don't let someone swoop him up!
I agree he has a lot of potential, but they are known for raising up there actors so they can get an actual acting career. So even though he is great he will most likely leave them later down the road.
@@afropenguinaccurate but since college humor created their own stream service I think trying to keep the staff around for the long term is going to be happening from now on
Yeah, CH in the past has been a lot like SNL...more like a stepping stone in a career than an end goal...although I most definitely would like to see as much of Brennan as possible
Yeah, Emily is still my favorite, but I never want this guy to stop, he's a one man show and an excellent DM.

Riz' mom is the best "You made friends? Oh sweetheart, that's great!" At a crime scene :D
I love how meeting God is the thing that got Kristen to question her religion.
Never meet your heroes.
I mean it's like how people in most fantasy universes don't worship the gods who they've seen. Thor is flying around on earth and almost nobody actually prays to him, yet catholicism is still going strong on earth 616 (well a bit less strong now that krakoa defeated death but still).
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 that might be true in comics (idk I don't read comics) but that's definitely not true in most fantasy/fictional settings. The idea of a pantheon of God's that have limited ability to interfere in the material world, yet are very much real and present is a common trope in fantasy. In the forgotten realms, everybody knows the gods exist and they have even had avatars that take human form and DO directly interact with the material plane, yet people still worship them. Or how about the Elder Scrolls universe? Pretty similar situation and again, worshipping the divines is a big deal in Tamriel.
I know he gets worse later but boy Kristen quits on Helio real quick.
@@apersonwhomayormaynotexist9868 to be fair, in Marvel people *did* worship Thor the same way people were actual followers of Norse mythology in the real world, it just phased out of the mainstream as a religion. There are people in the real world today that still worship the Greek pantheon unironically, so I don't see why there would be any reason there aren't those people in the comics either especially when the gods from those pantheons end up being real physical beings. The absence of a detail in a universe doesn't mean it's impossible, the author probably just didn't think of it yet

Siobhan's player's reaction to Penelope's interrogation caused me to laugh until I cried. "THAT'S WHAT YOU LEARNED?!?!" Gorgug became the social pariah of the school, and Riz was shaken, not stirred, in a bath of his own vomit for "Johnny Spells doesn't fuck" to be the focal point of the entire investigation. Priceless.
"You can talk to Mr. Gib-, nope. You can talk to me, i guess"
Amazing

Lol the cast didn’t seem to react to that part much, but that was one of my favorite parts of this episode
Words can't adequately describe how Brannan's story telling ability and general voice makes me feel

I love that when Siobhan casts detect magic Brennan remembers the mage hand and adds it in there.

I love the effort they put into roleplay! From how you can always see Fig smoking or drinking, how to how the elf is always so stiff like she is too scared to let loose because of trauma- even too Fabian really selling that he's incredibly upset but tries to hide it anyways is beautiful- acting wise and character building wise.

The way Brennan deals with Fig is masterful. So many DM's would be pulling their hair out and and think it's deliberate player sabotage.
To be fair, Emily does this with every single one of her characters when she plays with brennan. Im not sure if shd does it with other DMs, but with brennan, in his words, she was sent to destroy him

The loud vigorous arguing between the players made my DM heart tremble with glee, nothing is better than being so good at causing immersion and drama that players are yelling at one another because of something in game, especially when they almost forget that they are playing characters, and it doesn't matter.
