Perception Check (Official Music Video) - Tom Cardy

"I cast Vicious Mockery, Nat 20, LETS GO" - Doesn't matter what happens afterward, any Bard who crits a Mockery and has a line for it automatically wins the session for the day.

I just ADORE how the bard looks the same in and out of the fantasy. That means that either A.) The bard roleplays so hard he shows up in costume even when no one else does or B.) He probably didn't give a backstory or description, so everyone just imagines him to look like himself in the fantasy world. Both these possibilities are superb.

"It's always a kid." How many children have you insulted to death in this campaign?

I like the implication that either A. Tom keeps taking the d20 on his turn and puts in his mouth to spit it out every time, or B. He just naturally has the ability to produce d20s from his mouth

1:23 I love the phase "It's always a kid" because it implies that it's not the first time he attacked a kid before checking and I like to imagine that they found the kid multiple times but he always killed it and the DM had to find a excuse for them to find another child and repeat the cycle

"Me and my Boys are gonna mess you up" "I rolled an one" "I rolled an one" "...fu-" This scene always kills me

I'm both intrigued and horrified by the DM growing 5 additional fingers to show 15 with two hands. Great job, this is one of my favorites of Tom's and you animated it beautifully

1:14 that kid got the binding of Isaac type body

My goal is to move through life with the confidence of Tom Cardy and his many characters

Love that it’s about 20 seconds before the bard remembers that the DM hasn’t told them what they see yet. Absolutely incredible

The funky dance walk he does at 0:47 when he says "My boys are otherwise engaged" cracks me up

The other players staring daggers at the DM in the end is the perfect cherry on top of this masterpiece. Those looks just scream out "you're gonna let him get away with it....AGAIN??"

No matter how many times I hear it, the break into “LOOT THAT BODY!” just kills me! 😂

Hell yeah! I remember seeing the original animatic made by the artist, so I'm really happy you helped pay for the full version

PLEASE KEEP COMMISSIONING ARTISTS TO ANIMATE YOUR SONGS WE LOVE IT!!

"This is YOUR fault for letting me play a chaotic neutral bard."

The fact you commissioned one of the people who made animatics for this song and levelled it up into a full music video is like the best Christmas present to all of us. Brilliant.

I'm SO happy LankyMF became the official animator for this one!!!!! his facial expressions in the original were hilarious and fit the song so perfectly. Couldn't imagine anyone else :)

1:34 : My morality in every rpg, regardless of choices and good/evil moral aligment.

stop me if someone pointed this out before but i cant help but notice that a. tom bardy's first action to prepare for combat is to roll an active perception check b. he doesnt seem to roll often as it takes him half a minute before he remembers the dm needs to actually tell him what he sees and c. this is not the first child that tom bardy has killed. with this in mind i can only assume that the last time it happened, the dm created a house rule where tom bardy has to succeed a perception check before he can actually cast spells. and yet it isnt enough to stop the bard.
