Perception check

I laughed uncontrollably hard when his immediate response to a npc being short was “I cast vicious mockery”

“It’s always a kid” I love the idea that Tom has verbally attacks kids without second thought cause he thought they were just short people

The concept of a player rolling a nat 20 perception check, but IRL being too impatient to perceive the result is a great setup.

-"Me and my boys are gonna mess you up!" -"I rolled a 1." -"I rolled a 1." -"FUCK." This had me in tears laughing so hard.

I totally accept TC being a DnD bard in real life

“My boys are otherwise engaged” is the most relatable part for me, considering my parties are either a completely united front that cooperates flawlessly, or four raccoons with dice engaging in whatever shenanigans activated their single neuron first.

Imagine you're one of these Cloaked Figures. You come across a group of 3 adventurers. The Barbarian fumbles her greathammer onto the floor and the Rogue is hiding behind a bush, standing up. Meanwhile, the Bard is just.. staring you down, and you realize they're staring DIRECTLY and the Child you kidnapped. Oh shit. You realize they've begun casting a Cantrip... And then they absolutely destroy aforementioned child that you were positive they had been hired to find and rescue by calling them short, and in the stunned silence have begun LOOTING THE FUCKING CHILD

My favorite part is how confidently the DM says "You notice one is a little 'shorter'" heavily implying it's the child they've been looking for the whole time but it goes right over his head lol

I’ve watched this like 20 times. The line that gets me is when he’s like “me and my boys are gonna mess you up.” Immediately followed by “F***” it’s just perfect.

“There’s no escaping it, I can perceive you.” Has me cackling so hard every time

Fun fact: because the chance of this progression of rolls happening is 1 in 3,200,000, we know divine providence intervened to inspire this song.

I’m sorry, but the “loot that body” part is my favorite thing of 2023… he is so happy, so excited… the “Im gonna loot that madafakaaaah” part is just unhinged… I love everything about this 😂

Every line in this is comedy gold. My personal favourites: “I can perceive you” “My boys are otherwise engaged”

Did you know I’m part of an actual D&D funny podcast "dragon friends"? It’s on streaming or wherever, I played music for a bunch of season and in the last few started playing characters. Check it out it’s very funny, especially the first bunch of seasons before I was there!

As a flute player I fully appreciate the chaotic energy this has. As a side note, the fake playing is /really/ good.

The very solid and sincere "BITCH" really does wonders to cap off this masterpiece

The IMMEDIATE realization on the DM’s part as soon as he says “yes” is disturbingly relatable. You can pretty much sense the avarice and curiosity radiating off your players when they ask questions like this and it’s almost as if they’ve shed their human guises and revealed themselves to be a pack of goblins in a trenchcoat the entire time.

Tom looks the absolutely happiest when he's gonna "loot that body" and his smile is contagious.

1:05 SHORT 😂😂😂 the look of intensity on his face kills

The line "it's always a kid" always gets me. As if this isn't the first time the bard has killed a kid.
