Critical Role Halloween | 2015-2022 

Marisha: “California passed a law where you can’t buy colored contacts over the counter.” Her husband: 👁️👁️

I loved the "Get a theater degree, kids. It's not *totally* useless.

Damn, I just realized that Sam wearing cheapest, crappiest possible Halloween costume is a bit he consciously doing since the beginning

"I'm not dead!" Oh, Laura didn't realize how right she was

I like that Matt acknowledges that he has a cosplay making problem 😂

God, matt's gambit eyes are terrifying.

2015: Sam can't smile (mustache) 2016: Sam can't speak (fake teeth) 2017: Sam... can't be looked at (generally horrifying) 2018: Ketchup! (ketchup) 2019: Sam can't control his hair (bad wig) 2020: Sam can't see (mask) 2021: Sam looks great! (travis) 2022: Sam can't tell you anything about the X-Men

"I'm level 15 in maps" Such a pure character. We must protect him

I can’t get over how much like Marisha looks like Crowley from Good Omens in her Taliesin costume

Love that when Ashley joined the first time on a costume episode, she put so much effort

Years later, Amazon made up for almost destroying Matthew's 2016 costume by giving us an animated saga.

I can't get over how Sam lowered his voice to speak like Marisha haha. 2021 was my most favorite halloween year

Until Laura, I never realized that a mustache could be a sexy fashion accessory for women.

16:05 - 17:08 dear god this clip may be one of the funniest things in all of critical role, from the goofy mask and travis saying giggling and saying "hi matt", pointing to the wrong shoulder for the RIP, saying "tattoo" instead of "accent", then being like "it's really hot in this mask guys" and then whipping out bagpipes

I’ve always felt a little bad for Marisha. She’s the youngest and the others have had some pretty decorated voice careers. She’s absolutely talented but cracking into voice acting as full time job is pretty impossible unless you’re talented AND lucky. When they all had these iconic, well known characters in 2019 and Marisha had Soldier B I couldn’t really think of an iconic character that belonged to her. I hope she gets a lead role in something one day. She deserves it.

Laura and Travis as the Briarwoods~°○•☆~

I will never get over Marisha absolutely nailing her Taliesin impression

16:53 I will never not cry with laughter at the sound Travis produces here

27:52 "...and whoever this douche is-" A perfect descriptor for Reed Richards

If Travis's next character isn't Zemnian just so he can spend the whole campaign doing a German accent, I'm gonna be thoroughly upset.

Can’t believe that Ashley has only been in 3 Halloween episodes. We need more of her from now on

I really hope that one day, they'll do another "character that we voiced" theme for Halloween.

Even though all these costumes are so cool, Sam's lazy Phoenix Wright outfit is still my favorite. He looks utterly insane. Ace Attorney on a really, really bad day. And yes, Matt's Gambit eyes were amazing. Can't believe he wore those contacts all night. Really added to the creepiness factor.

Hands down Matt cosplaying as Victor and the Trash Robot are the best thing to bless us

As I said in the chat that night, I never knew we needed a Swedish Colossus until Travis made it apparent.

The 2019 one is Marisha just accepting the fact she hasn't played any iconic characters, which I 100% appreciate.

The wind in Marisha's hair for Dark Phoenix was a paid actor

I love Taliesin's cry of pain when Marisha starts with her impression of him.

I loved the X-Men (and Mr. Fantastic) costumes. Matt’s Gambit eyes were so cool.

This video is the thing that finally made me connect that Sam was the voice of Phoenix Wright. The second I heard that "Hold It!", I went "WAIT, WTF!?" 14:42

love the joke of Where was Matt looking? with the Gambit eyes throughout the episode

I've never cried from laughing as much as I did when I first saw Travis-Orly playing those 'bagpipes'

I love the themes they pick! Their own voice roles, X-Men, *eachother*. I think that was my favorite actually. Matt's very subtle natural makeup and the oversized glasses really actually sold him as Laura, and the commitment with the hair coloring from Marisha and Travis (not to mention Travis' t-shirt lmao). They just look like they're having an absolute blast roasting the shit out of each other.

I just realized for Marsha’s dark phoenix bit she has some sort of fan blowing to make her move.

Matt having made his Geralt costume was the most badass thing ever! ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

The "don't fųcking smile, don't fųcking smile" from Travis to Ashley is so freaking hilarious. Grog and Pike really are the best buddies.

4:53 I can't get enough of Travis laughing with visible sharp fangs 😳

Matt is just too good, he always goes hard with his costumes.

I still adore when they dressed up as eachother, they were so perfect

I think in terms of overall best Halloween costumes, I'll do it like this: Matt: Geralt (2015). He made all that himself, and put a lot of love into it... even if it was so very hard to move in. Either that or Artagan (2020). Travis: Two-Face (2019). He really used that theater degree to its utmost. Marisha: A tie between Ripley (2016), Celia (2020), and Dark Phoenix (2022). Liam: Astrid Becke (2020), easily. He pulled off that look flawlessly. Sam: Well... what can I say? Either his costumes are purposefully bad (Pac-Man, Ketchup) or just LOL funny (Burt Reynolds, Mr. Fantastic). Overall, I think his best might be Hotis (2016). He suffered for his art, especially when he reused it in C2. And chances are when he eventually gets to that same point in C3, we'll see it again. Laura: Either Delilah (2016) or The Gentleman (2020). Ashley: She's only really had three Halloween episodes, but easily her best is Henry Crabgrass (2020). Taliesin: He just looks good in EVERY costume. But perhaps his best one IMO is his most recent one, Mr. Sinister (2022).

7:09 Laura with fangs makes the world feel "right" somehow.

Can’t believe 2020 was Ashley’s first time ❤❤

They will never lose their passion for cosplay... well maybe Travis will.

can we talk about how smart the Lisa Frank Castle idea was??!!

Liam, nooooo!! Best blue boy could’ve returned from Wolverine and the X-Men!

Soldier B, best in class

11:34 I just know Laura was miserable the rest of the night. After the initial reveal the excitement fades and how she’s just uncomfortable and probably hot all night hahaha

I like how hard of a time Sam has figuring out characters from games he himself has played characters for.

Matt's cosplays are so cool !!!

Laura 2021: Robbie Daymond Laura 2020: Blue Robbie Daymond

lauras impression of robbie was so goddamn hilarious. I watched it like 20 times

i started cr with c3, so the dressing up as each other one was my second episode ever 😆 i honestly don't know how i kept them all straight

I refuse to believe that Laura and Travis as the Briarwoods didn't inspire the Legend of Vox Machina show.

I was listening to the first campaign on Spotify, and the Halloween episode was the first I actually watched so seeing Geralt staring me in the face on opening was pretty jarring

I love that every campaign sam dress the same as he did in the Halloween episode of the same number. So he just keeps adding episodes with costumes every year so eventually he would need to dress up for every episode.

Favorite one is Travis as Orly. 16:53 KILLED me. Also, 22:06 sounds exactly like something Taliesin would say.

Laura as Rogue...wow

26:22 the dm respondig to mr. fantastic's long arms by throwing a card at him is awesome!

I love how into it Matt is. I wish the others would have similar enthusiasm, but to each their own. Some of the costumes looked so good though!

Nothing, and I mean nothing, kills me like Travis' Orly intro. It was nothing short of masterful.

God, Mercer’s EYES this year! That’s frightening. Props to Marisha pulling off a great Phoenix too! Laura as Delilah though… I look at that outfit and all I’m thinking is “And lo, later that night, Ronin was conceived.”

Travis as Orly always gives a deep down belly chuckle right at the start... *muffled chuckling during Matt's intro

Props to all of them, but Laura is my favorite Rogue so far.

If this were actually a Good timeline, Travis wouldve been Colossus, you KNOW IM RIGHT Matt as Gambit tho, no notes, enjoy your crown king

“Liam doesn’t know how to use swords” Honey, you’ve got a big storm comin’

Liam in 2016 gives me some serious Milo Thatch from Atlantis vibes. Look up the opening scene (in the museum) of that movie and you know what I mean

2022 Tal: I took grandpa Draculas robe, hopefully he doesn't see this

Matt opening for 2016 is the single greatest thing i've ever seen him do.

Those contacts Matt was rocking were awesome.

Liam would make a great Rick Moranis

WAIT LIAM VOICED GARA?!?!?!? HES MY FAVOURITE ALL-TIME NARUTO CHARACTER WHATTTTTTT

AAAh so Amazon made up for delaying Matt's order in 2016 by giving them a platform to put The Legend of Vox Machina on thats so cool of them🥺

I would love to have Matthew Mercer as a teacher. He is so damn talented, is a nice dude and probably is chill to hang out with

JUST. LOVE. THIS. UPDATE!! the CR cast keep getting better and better with their costumes. LOVE Ashley Johnson's Emma Frost costume for 2022. She is (frostily) HOT! SAME for Marisha (Jean Grey as Dark Phoenix) and Laura (Rogue)!

matt’s dante is pretty fucking epic

It's hilarious that Travis played an Xman who was canonically 5'2" tall. 😹 =^..^=

Marisha's Taliesin looks like she's doing a Kate McKinnon impersonation. I love it.

Sam is the epitome of not understanding the assignment and I am here for it!

Laura absolutely roasting the living shit out of Robbie with her imitation still makes goes SNEEZE LAUGHING

Matt Mercer: Thanks Amazon for delaying my orders making me put together my costume last minute form shit I found at Home Depot, so uh, thanks Amazon. This aged interestingly lol

3:30 Man I feel this on a spiritual level

I think Matt blink more often than usual with his Gambit cosplay. I guess it's because of the contact lenses. I am surprise he kept them on for the whole episode. It does added the benefit of Matt being able to scare Travis more than usual :D.

2021 the cast had so much fun

Wow Matt's cosplay looks incredible.

I love the propeller beanie taking off. 🤣

This is wonderful. Thanks for posting this!!

I've been DYING for an update THANK YOU!!!

Thank you for this. I was following CR up until the end of C2 , always loved the halloween episodes.

Mathew thanking Amzon in 2016 for delaying all of his orders. 😅

I can hardly wait to see who they are this year!

i can't wait to see what the will be this year.

"My Xmen.....and whoever this duche is..."

True, Matt's Gamit eyes are scary but floating glowing orange lights when Sam was briefly The Invisible Man was hilarious to me

You guys are such an inspiration. ❤

I've been wondering forever why I've been seeing thumbnails of Matt in a braid, glasses, and suspiciously Laura-like jumper 😂

Can’t wait to see this year’s costumes

Not going to lie, both Travis and Laura as the Briarwoods are freaking sexy.

Travis took it to another level. Cosplayception.

I am still convinced Laura’s Robbie costume is just really a Johnny Depp look alike

Love these. Hope we get a Halloween episode this year.
