Ashley will NEVER stop sounding like she's telling her mom about something weird she saw during her day. Like no matter how hard she tries, she just can't stop. Narrative Telephones never fail to make me laugh out loud the entire time.
This was amazing! Robbie birthed it, Liam murdered it, Aabria desecrated it, Anjali brought it back, Ashley comforted it, Matt slit its throat from behind and burned it to ashes, and Aimee delivered an amazing eulogy. Perfection.
I think Matt just gave his nips a bit more attention after Ash and ended up setting up Aimee for a diamond cutter nip story. Otherwise he did pretty good
I love the details that stayed: 1. His name was Flinttip 2. He was handsome 3. He was sad 4. He wandered 5. He went to a tavern 6. He was approached by three women: a human named Aria, a tiefling, and an elf 7. A question was asked
They should actually do a narrative telephone where they retell a story in their own characters, losing the details as if the story is being passed along to each character.
Liam calling out Robbie for the alliteration is hilarious since Liam's stories were: 1. A long ghost story liberally peppered with German words. 2. A cute story with 813,212 named duckies.
watching Liam's face during Aimee's performance is fun because you can literally see him recognize his best friend's energy in another person and go full golden retriever in realtime
My favorite part about narrative telephone is how often an off-handed comment about the story (i.e.: "It was an unfortunate name, but his nips were really chiseled.") becomes the entire plot of the tale.
somehow the vibe ashley gives every narrative telephone is: POV you've entered a lesbian trucker bar, and sat down next to someone who's had maybe just one too many coors, but she's goin thru it, and by god is she gonna tell you all about it
As always, Robbie did such a brilliant job, even on his first time. Extremely evil tale full of alliteration, voices, and names, delivered super engagingly. Poor Aabria looked like she'd just seen a ghost with how startled she was to go 3rd
I think we've just seen Opal's Byroden pageant performance... I love Anjali's bombastic interpretation. It has all the unnecessary gravitas of Fy'ra Rai commanding, " *To your glitter shitter!* "

For one of these, they should play them in reverse order, so we (and they) get to see a completely mangled story slowly come together into a masterpiece
I'm only seconds into Robbie's story, and I'm getting Taliesin/Caduceus alliteration flashbacks... Oh boy 🤣🤣🤣 I cannot wait to see how quickly this derails!!
It's so interesting seeing what new critters think. During EXU, i had to keep telling myself "don't compare the GM's", and "give the new players a chance", and sometimes "just keep going and try having fun". It worked, of course, it just took a lot of work. My brain naturally likes to compare and create competition.
I will paraphrase Terry Pratchett's Discword: Granny Weatherwax was a strong witch, but she couldn't seem to look the part. Her nose was aquiline at best, no amount of toad rubbing could make any wart appear on her fair and mole-less skin, and despite her tea being so sweet the spoon could stand in the liquid, she had strong teeth and no cavities. She wasn't jealous, this is a sentiment only stupid people have. But it wasn't always easy to sit next to Gytha "Nanny" Ogg, who managed to lose all of her dentition by the age of 30 (with the exception of an extremely stubborn and efficient last tooth) and a skin to go with, seemingly without much help needed.
@@NWolfsson I also love the description of Nanny Ogg as 'looking like a friendly walnut', and that her way of eating pickled onions with her single tooth brought a tear to the eye...
Every time I hear the ending theme I'm reminded of the beginning stages of the pandemic, how I couldn't see my friends or go anywhere, and how during those dark times this show brought me such joy, seeing a group of friends laugh and tell silly stories... I don't know if I can describe it properly, but it feels like a hug, it makes me feel at peace, it makes me feel like for a while, everything's OK. Thank you, Critical Role, for doing this show.
@jhmn123 Yes, exactly! It's like, for one brief shining moment, instead of being holed up in my room by myself, I'm surrounded by a group of friends all goofing around and having fun ❤
I just showed my boyfriend the original story by Robbie and then Aimee's story directly thereafter. This is how he described his experience: In Robbie's story the group was driving down an empty highway in a cabriolet. There was nothing and noone obstructing their path, just the soft summer breeze blowing though their hair and they had the time of their lives. In Aimee's story, they were driving in a wreck of a car, directly towards a trail of oil but they didn't stop. Then they hit the trail of oil and spun 'round and 'round in the most glorious way, so glorious in fact that they even started spinning themselves inside the already spinning wreck. :D I had to laugh really hard at this so I just wanted to share ;)
It makes perfect sense to me that Aimee's the Sam of this group. I mean, she works so closely with him, and he's the one who brought her into the CR family!
Omfg, I love Liam ducking out of view at "Handsome beyond compare", but then sliding across the screen with a thumbs up at "flintchit chiselsnip". I love this man.
I still canNOT believe they immediately lost the thirsty ladies, asking our man about thirst, and him confirming his thirst. Are they feeding these people saltpeter or something? (Laura Bailey would never have let me down like this. Just saying.)
You know what's funny, i really think Ashley is getting better at this, granted she still sounds like Ashley Spinelli trying to recall a story but she is getting better

Before watching the video : I already know this goes poorly but they're rusty, it's okay Watching the story told by Robbie: Holy shit, he went straight to hard mode. He took Buddy's story, added alliteration like Cad's, added a lot of characters (like Matt's second go), but still making it his own mess Bravo sir, hats off!
Wow Robbie you came prepared! That was every bit up to par with what has come before. I don't know where you came up with the idea of the alliterations, but it was GENIUS!! Rarely have I seen the cast struggle from the first persons retelling. Well done! Lol
I wish they would do an episode with EXU and regular cast all together, but no matter what I always love the content they put out and they are all amazing and wonderful people!
i was really hoping they would have the regular cast there during the show & tell portion because i just know travis would have been losing his entire mind.
@@brentage5000 It would get incredibly boring very quickly and combat would turn into a massive slog, like an hour for a single round. It already takes long enough with 7 people as it is.
@@polygon2745 Oh, no, I was just talking about Narrative Telephone! It might be a two hour episode, but given the length of a normal CR episode, that's nothing. A campaign with sixteen players, though....God, the initiatives alone would take ten minutes to sort out. Fun thought, but pass😅
Hideous floral shirts are the only thing us men over 35 have left to enjoy in life. I literally go into shops looking for similarly horrendous things every year when the new spring range comes in. We make jokes about it....but deep down we secretly love these shirts. And you, young one, you too.....will come to love them. It is inevitable.
Love this one as always! Though Anjali got it dead right at 59:15 when she said that the punchline at the end of the story should have been that the gorgeous goblin has a wholly unattractive voice.
OMG the (de)evolution of this story is truly incredible, completely unrecognizable from Robbie's story! I love it so much!!! edit: i posted this before I saw Aimee's turn and OMG!!! AIMEE I LOVE YOU!!!
So one thing I think needs to happen is even if in the future this extends to say groups for new shows without Ashley involved (say if EXU follows a different crew of heroes next time) she still has to join every narrative telephone. Her presence is like having an extra secret sauce in the mix.
Robbie: "Flinttip Bearscat"
Liam: "Unfortunately for you, history will not see it that way"
Dude "Bearscat" is way more unfortunate. You wouldn't wanna step in it immediately following hibernation.
I thought for sure Aabria was going to change it to chiselsnatch.
Flinttip Bearshit is wayyy catchier imo
Ashley will NEVER stop sounding like she's telling her mom about something weird she saw during her day. Like no matter how hard she tries, she just can't stop. Narrative Telephones never fail to make me laugh out loud the entire time.
she really is the kid trying to tell a story in a linear fashion but keeps getting distracted by new details and i LOVE IT
The mariachi/cha cha music was just- mwah!
Nailed it
Ashley needs to see this comment. It's exactly right.
*That's what we love her for!*
It has Alliteration, it has Proper Names, it has Accent Work, it has No Narrative Arc. Everything to tank a Narrative Telephone. Love it.
Isn't it basically The Ugly Duckling, though? Or am I just flailing for a plot??
It's basically Robbie's version of Buddy from episode 5 last season and I love it😂
It didn't have a song!
@@hi-im-kerri true! One step from perfection.
Actually it does have a plot / narrative. It's just buried in exposition and style ;)
This was amazing! Robbie birthed it, Liam murdered it, Aabria desecrated it, Anjali brought it back, Ashley comforted it, Matt slit its throat from behind and burned it to ashes, and Aimee delivered an amazing eulogy. Perfection.
You hit the nail on the coffin.
That is an impressively accurate string of metaphors.
I think Matt just gave his nips a bit more attention after Ash and ended up setting up Aimee for a diamond cutter nip story. Otherwise he did pretty good
I'd say Matt confidently brought it for a full excursion weekend on its broken legs.
@@NWolfsson lol that almost seems worse somehow
I love the details that stayed:
1. His name was Flinttip
2. He was handsome
3. He was sad
4. He wandered
5. He went to a tavern
6. He was approached by three women: a human named Aria, a tiefling, and an elf
7. A question was asked
More than usual for these episodes. 🤣
You would think that him being a goblin would stick around longer, but no, it's one of the first details to go.
8. and sinking into cups
@@VitaNewbo It did stay until Ashley's turn 😅
As soon as Robbie started with the alliterations, I said:
"I hope Liam is going first."
I haven't laughed that much in the first retelling before. Bad time to eat.
I did the same thing LOL I hope Taliesin got to watch Liam flame out with this. 🤣🤣
Oh he gave Liam the lashing that Taliesin intended leagues later.
Robbie watched Taliesin's as an example and said "I can do that"
And the weird thing is that the alliterations AND the goblin AND the plot survived Liam, all just to go crashing down in flames with Aabria.
I like to imagine Aimee’s interpretation of the story is actually Opal telling the story at the annual Byroden pageant.
So, Narrative Telephone Season 3 would be, like Exandria Unlimited, just choke full of beautiful peoples?
Totally. The amount of Easter eggs is so wholesome
They should actually do a narrative telephone where they retell a story in their own characters, losing the details as if the story is being passed along to each character.
List of details that stayed in the story:
1. The human's name was Aria
Also that the character the story is about's first name is "Flinttip"
Just 2 names, in a sea of confusion, chaos, and bullshittery.
There was a tavern in all of the versions! Also they did all remember there was a human, an elf, and a tiefling.
don't forget name forgot
Bobby: Incredibly detailed story with very little mention of walking.
Several cast later...
Ashley: AND HE WAS WALKIN'
And he was just SO SAD just SO sad.
@@Ristro44 sweating it, evens...
I can see this comment in my mind every time I listen to this hahaha
Kinda felt like she was turning him into Forest Gump. Lol.
Liam calling out Robbie for the alliteration is hilarious since Liam's stories were:
1. A long ghost story liberally peppered with German words.
2. A cute story with 813,212 named duckies.
watching Liam's face during Aimee's performance is fun because you can literally see him recognize his best friend's energy in another person and go full golden retriever in realtime
Especially when he does the head tilt
So Aimee is taking over Sam's position of making the story her own... I am neither surprised nor disappointed.
She absolutely killed it. I loved her take on this. Can't wait to hear her story next time.
Gave a thumbs down to standout but I agree without discontent with everything you said.
She oozed Sam energy during ExU too, it's great
Can she join the normal table? Please?
I wish she hadn't been last
"This isn't the first time some asshole started off with alliteration..."
Somewhere, Taliesin let out an evil laugh and didn't know why...
Also, points for Matt showing the DM Credo: you can be talking complete, utter bullshit, but as long as you say it with conviction, you're gold.
My favorite part about narrative telephone is how often an off-handed comment about the story (i.e.: "It was an unfortunate name, but his nips were really chiseled.") becomes the entire plot of the tale.

Here I am hoping they somehow met and started a collaboration of some sort.
Or maybe they just had the greatest show-off duel in bardic history
I mean... If someone ever gets to voice Dr Dranzel in the Animated Series?
The music they play when Ashley's turn is up always makes me laugh.

That's because the music is the type of whimsical tune you play on things you know are going to be a trainwreck you can't look away from.

Oh you know it was going south immediately. More of an insane ramble that ended in full hilarity.
Right, I'm like 30 seconds in and I'm realizing how much of a monster Robbie is.
Don't get me wrong, I love the CR cast, but the EXU cast holds a special place in my heart that I didn't know existed until this video.
Same! ExU was my first Campaign so they will always have a very special place in my heart ❤️❤️❤️
Same!!
Right? There's just such a fun dynamic between them all! I love the OGs, but these guys together are super fun!
