Travis nailed the popularity question, this is like your college friends sitting around playing beer pong, they just happen to all be really talented creatively
So basically theatre kids.
and that’s why they made him the CEO.
@Stinger JohnnyThey were theater kids, so
when was that one?
Marisha’s reaction to that vegan question was perfect. She was offended in perfect Kentucky.
Marisha Ray being accused of being Vegan will get her kicked out of Kentucky she literally won’t be invited back to the BBQ.
To be fair, she does kind of give off massive vegan vibes to me. If I had to pick one vegan out of the group, I’d choose Marisha 9/10 times. The 1/10 would be Ashley
@kolosmenus I would have said Liam or Taliesin.
Least likely is definitely Laura.
Yeah you are right, it’s so American to abuse innocent defenceless sentient beings.
@Sylvius the MadLease likely is Travis but I see why you said Laura
There is a distinct lack of Ashley Johnson which makes me believe she rolled a D1 for participation.
She is staying out of the limelight due to the Brian Foster situation. Many of her top searches are likely about that and it would be unkind to go through her most searched questions right now. Wishing her peace, safety and healing 🙏
@Mel Z What’s going on with her & brian foster?
brain is hella abusive @Mythic
@MythicHes a creep and she got a restraining order.
@Mythicshe got a restraining order against him bc she thought he was close to the edge and could murder her. He was kicked off the show and she has a restraining order against him
it’s so sad to see marisha’s top questions her creative works are great and should be recognized
At least they did more questions about her later on in the video. That would have sucked if they had left it at how she met Matt (which was cool but is so not the defining thing about Marisha).
@BillH2949 at the end when she said that some questions she expected, you can tell she’s used to it by now, but it must be so tiring
Unfortunately Wired doesn’t get to pick what the top results are 😣
@Delfina Garcíaomg boohoo poor her
name one
wish ashley was there as well. i love it when the cast is complete they are so fun
YEAH
Yeah but I get why she’s not since the top searches right now are probably about her personal life
@molly they curate the questions they wouldn’t ever bring that up in this. More likely she was just unavailable
@LOregI wouldn’t be surprised if she landed a guest role on Abbott Elementary based on Sam’s references. Reminded me of what they’d do when she was out for Blindspot
Edit: then again, I don’t know when this was shot but I imagine I’m wrong given the strikes halting productions
I wonder if she wasn’t there because of the actor strike. In case she was asked questions on older projects. Just a guess.
Not an interview I expected, but an instant view and like nonetheless
Sheer consumerism.
@The Incredible FellaYou clicked too.
@The Incredible Fellaweird attention account flailing in front of the world
“I can see him being charming if he never had to actually say anything” is such a perfect Taliesin-style insult.
Also, 6’4″ is around 1,94 in meters.
6’4 would be more like 190cm I think. I’m 6’6 and I’m 198cm tall.
@Michel van der Linden It’s almost exactly 193
@michelvanderlinden8363 it’s 193 cm
I’m offended that people doesn’t ask how marisha organized her notes, thats the important question
That’s what I wanna know. Her notes are like the library of Alexandria
@max syou probably meant the Library of Whitestone or Library of Emon
I think she actually mentioned it briefly when she went full conspiracy mode putting all the Eyes of Nine/Lucien stuff together in C2 but yeah she’s great at taking notes
@NikkiNo no no, the lbrary of the Cobalt Soul in Zadash.
Every DM wishes they had players like her when it comes to keeping notes
Laura’s reaction when they called her the pretty one. “Oh pffft.” 😂😂😂
She knows it’s true, likewise Travis is the handsome one
Of course, thats his wife 😂
There’s a lot of talent in that group, but Laura is probably the most accomplished. I’d be pissed if somebody reduced me to looks, but she’s a great sport.
@Grzegorz D.they’re literally all reducing each other to a simple thing in that bit… “jock, nerd, theater kid, goth, prom queen”
If you got pissed that someone gave you a label, during a group joke where everyone is getting a label, you probably don’t have many friends.
@Grzegorz D.They mention that they’ve all been playing together for 10+ years in this. I think Sam is able to poke fun at Laura without her taking offense, and you shouldn’t be offended for her.
my favorite thing about the critical role cast is that i can feel how much they love each other
Yes, they are selling friendship
I like that they always seem to make us fans feel like we’re a part of their family, too.
It’s a business.
@Thomas Becker Both things can be true.
