EVERY Nord VPN/BlackWillow69 Hack in ONE VIDEO! | Critical Role Compilation 

Laura's sunglasses under the sunglasses will never get old

Pretty sure Sam Riegel is the only person on the planet capable of making an ad that people actively compile and search for to watch again.

"I'll have to hack it. Get me my trench coat." "The tan one or the black one?" "Does this look like a tan trench coat situation to you?!"

Matthew Lillard, Matt Mercer and Talliesin Jaffe all in one place... the power in that room could've sustained all of LA.

I love how much Talesin enjoys these ads!

I really wish Ashley showed up as gale, It’s the crossover I need.

Every time laura removes her glasses to reveal the smaller glasse i just loose it

matthew lillard kissing Taliesin will always be the best part of this

C3’s new Nordverse ad brought me back to this compilation again… Cause I miss it and need a refresher…?

watching this solely to see taliesin's wonderful blend of complete hopelessness and hysterical laughter in the face of sam riegel's various crimes

7:00 "What is the Ultra Kodex, Matt? You don't know!" Of course he doesn't

What I learned from this video, Nord's deal got worse and worse with each hacking. Also, really loved Travis and Liam's reaction to Laura's "Holy shift".

I just watch for Taliesins's reactions

This is genuinely the best NordVPN could have hoped for. Because look, someone supercut this and its essentially 30 minutes of NordVPN ads but also damn entertaining.

I love that talesin is tapping in Morse at the beginning

I love watching Talesin just losing his shit.

7:21 You two should know, you're making a man with black nail polish double-facepalm.

the best part, easily.. is the ancient one's facial expressions of horror throughout :D

As someone who works in IT, this is so hurtful. Right in my soul.

Taliesin taping S.O.S. with his fingers in morse code on the first one is the most hilarious thing ever.

7:58 okay first off shoutout to the movie hackers HACK THE PLANET!! Also how in the bells hells did Sam never think to do a Superman samurai syber squad bit for the nord vpn ads

I Never noticed Taliesin tappoing out SOS😂😂

critical role sure has a multiverse of stories including ads 🤣

Can’t believe we’re getting a nordverse one shot now lol. You know your ads are good when they take on a life of their own

We need a Shadowrun oneshot of this. STAT!

YES DUDE! Thank you! ❤

The only cinematic universe I give a f*ck about anymore.

I love how Sam has an old 5" floppy reader.

I was hoping Felicia Day, Codex on The Guild, was going to be the Ultra Kodex.

Why is this so good though

The shame of putting this up and them putting out one more nord lore drop

We need a new one from C3!

can you add all the recent ones from C3?

Binary for yes is just 1

But what is the Ultra-Codex?

Did they ever finish these?

It’s so stupid, and that’s why it’s so good!

super-rad! ^~^

The craziest thing is that they had Matthew Lillard for the ad, and not for the episode

I cannot believe I willingly watched 27 minutes of ads

This lore needs a wiki.

The emotional roller coaster that Taliesin goes on throughout these ad bits will never not give me life. Also, I'm just gonna save this video for whenever I need to die of laughter for a minute.

The "smaller sunglasses under sunglasses" joke is literally my favorite ever visual gag so Laura at one point wearing THREE pairs of glasses was amazing

Laura's acting in the first ad pretending to wonder whose voice they're hearing... Oscar worthy

Marisha just awkwardly sitting there while Taliesin is doing his bit never gets old! Such an underrated moment lol

Taliesin tapping SOS at the beginning really brings this home lol

13:29 *Gasp* "... Power glove!" Travis is so into it, he's like a kid watching a power rangers movie

The sheer awe and amazement in Travis’ voice when says “POWERGLOVE”

I find it hilarious that Sam's name changed from blackwillow73 to blackwilllw69 😂

At 20:08 when Laura says "Holy Shift", Travis' face says it all! XD

Oh my god, I never noticed Taliesin doing morse code on the table, I'm DYING

11:16, or Program 4, is the change from BlackWillow73 to BlackWillow69. I’m assuming there’s a lore reason for it, but I’m also assuming that Sam just forgot over their few months break for Covid

They had Shaggy. For an ad read. I'm sold, this is the best show on the internet.

If The Legend of Vox Machina series is half as good as this, I will be very impressed

There needs to be a compilation of just Talesin’s reactions to sams ads

Not gonna lie Liam and Travis turning to look at Laura simultaneously at 17:23 was pretty neat

I love that the list of people Sam recruits for these ads just goes -himself -Laura -Matthew Lillard, who doesn’t even go here -Taliesin, for some reason -Laura

I just saw that Taliesin starts tapping SOS in morse code on the table at 0:26 xD

The Matthew Lillard cameo and Laura’s double glasses, they’re the best! Oh, and also “simulsliced”.

It's like CR wanna mess with you for doing this. They just had another NordVPN ad for episode 126.

Although this is funny regardless, as someone who works in cyber security, this is absolutely hilarious. Sam is really a treasure and a visionary. NordVPN for life haha!

Taleisin tapping SOS on the table in the first thirty seconds is pure atr

Nord only wanted a sponsorship, but their PR guys got too invested in the saga so now we get an episodic series.

My favorite past time is watching Taliesin the entire time just lose his mind

The fact that they got Matthew Lillard to do this is pure gold.

Ohhhh my god thank you for uploading this! Since you're presumably going to be uploading another one, after the most recent ad, could you include the part in episode 105 where Matt introduces the ad under its Proper Title of "Nord by Nordwest: The Quest for the Ultra Kodex: Reloaded"?

Just found out that Matthew Lillard actually played a character named Cereal Killer in a movie called Hackers!

Ashley attempting to put on the glasses and catching her own reflection on the screen gets me every time.

My favorite quote about these is when one ended and Matt said "thank you very much to BAFTA award winning actors Ashley Johnson and Laura Bailey."

Matt: I think we've gone too far Video: *Not even halfway done*

I love that every time Sam does one of these bits Taliesen can be seen off to the side having a breakdown

Sam Riegal managed to turn an ad campaign into one of the most entertaining bits they've ever done I absolutely love these

As someone who’s never watched Critical Role (though it’s been on my list for a while) I saw the thumbnail for a clip from these and thought they had done a Cyberpunk 2020 and/or Red one shot. I was greatly mistaken but not at all disappointed.

The most entertaining part of all of this is Taliesin's face

From little things big things grow

We're all knee deep in that Nord Lore now...

At 12:10 when Sam is given his laser sword you can see the hand that gave it to him 😂

Taliesin’s face throughout all of this brings me so much joy

Ok but the cool part is 01111001 is the lowercase “y” when converting binary to 8-bit letters. Sam did his research. I’m so pleased.

I can’t wait for Sam to use Blackwillow69 in Narative Telephone!

I love the absurdity of the in show ad, the fact that someone edited it together and that I watched all of it.

Just looking at Talesin for the whole video is the best part. He is dying every second something happens. But I'm not sure if I should feel bad or not. Cause my god that is a lot he has to see. But as soon as he "joins" Marisha is the one I look at, the ones that have to sit through this and watch are the ones with the best reactions And as soon as Ashley joins you can just see Marisha regretting some decisions she made in her life And then there is just Matts face questioning why NordVPN is still sponsoring them

If only more brands realized that if ads were creative and lighthearted like this that people might actually be more inclined to buy their stuff rather than want to skip their ads immediately. Or at the very least, viewers would be entertained and have a greater likelihood that they will talk about their brand positively because they saw "that weird crazy NordVPN ad on Critical Role" or whatever brand was smart enough to allow creative freedom to the people promoting their stuff instead of reading from a boring script. Nobody likes seeing the same formulaic, repetitive, and bland yet annoying format of "This is Brand. Brand sells product. Product good. Buy product." Let creators do weird funny shit like this, because the fact that people (myself included) *voluntarily* sought out these ads to watch again in this age of an invasive ad-ridden webscape and might even *look forward to more ads* of this nature just speaks volumes to the quality of these ads even with a small-ish budget in an improv environment. Fuck, even the fact that there's literal fanart that people spent time on and made of these doofuses dressed up in costume for an advertisement (which in turn gives more free publicity) shows that this is how advertising and "boosting brand image™" should be done. Internet Historian is also another example of someone who makes god-tier advertisements that make you want to watch them again

Ashley entering and going OY!!!! still cracks me up omg its so good That kick

Sam is the only person that can makes me watch ads voluntarily

I'm just here for Taliesin dying in the corner

These advertisements have all the production value of an episode of Bibleman and I’m here for it.

7:57 for one of Talesin's best reactions

This is actually a really cool concept for a show lmao. Hackers all around the world uniting to keep their darknet safe from some kind of government programme to shut it down or something.

"This binary sequence is tattooed on my costar" Classic

So... A new Critical Role Advertisement Bits, with wich I can bother my friends. Probably one of the best Sam Riegel Bits.

When are we getting the Nord VON oneshot?

I love this show. The only weird thing is the 3 to 5 hour after show where they play competitive monopoly or something.

This may have been said but Marisha’s laugh after latex dork is excellent

Taliesin's reactions drain my lungs like nothing else.

Taliesin's insane amount of internal pain is refreshing and, sorry Tally, but incredible to watch.

The best Cyberpunk 2077 crossover ever

Love the regular human hand at 12:12 that gives Sam the sword

I like how their outfits just get progressively more neon-y with each new character.
