I think this video kind of proves that the funniest dnd memes are the ones about your own sessions and not the weird, general ones that you see so often online. Like reality, the ones that go above just base, untrue stereotypes, are the funnier and longer lasting memes, but they require a lot more context and are specific to the viewer
So true, like the dragon head night light in a previous campaign I was in. That probably makes zero sense to anyone reading this without context, but for us it was hilarious and awesome.
I think the biggest issue with DnD memes, especially the subreddit is that a large majority of the people posting memes on there have not played DnD themselves, so most of the memes are based off of other memes/class stereotypes rather than personal experience
D&D is hilarious in itself. Just recently, me and a party were trying to decide the fate of an eavesdropper, where we could just beat them up, or let them go and track them down to find their bosses. There were some fun exchanges for 10-20 minutes, but we couldn’t decide, so the Ranger psychically linked to a pigeon and got a second opinion from it. The fate of an eavesdropper was decided by a pigeon. And it chose death as the fate.
It's quite wholesome how well Spencer was able to force the defensive non-laughing wheezes there, that she knows you well enough to make you laugh with all of them
Resurrection (and other raise dead effects) bring the soul back from the afterlife into the body, so whichever half of the body you cast the spell on first would get the soul, and the other spell would fail. I think the only way you could get something interesting to happen is to have 2 spellcasters coordinating their castings of Resurrection so that they go off at the exact same time. And in that case, it'd be up to the DM what happens!
@@Shadowknight1224 How about torn soul twinned body business, or some fey, celestial, or fiend snuck into one of the bodies? You could make some brilliant roleplay stuff with that. Some real brilliant stuff involving Divine Sense or Detect Good and Evil. Or maybe you could use this as a means to multi-class past character-level 20. So many possibilities.
Spenser then proceeded to pelt Jacob with memes that would constantly push him to the brink of laughter. With tears in his eyes, Jacob looks up from the ground, exhausted, and he would defiantly proclaim "Not funny. Didn't laugh." However, they both knew Spenser had yet to even break a sweat while Jacob was using all his might to hold back the tiniest of chortles; she was the true victor.
DND: after careful consideration, cats get darkvision but only for .0000010 seconds. We hope this change will shake up the meta and open up more options for players. Edit: This only applies to lvl 5 cats and above
Cats (as in the beast, not tressyms that are magical beasts) should NEVER have darkvision. Darkvision is literally the ability to see without ANY light whatsoever (even though it is treated as dim light, and therefore Perception checks are done with disadvantage). If you give normal felines darkvision, you must logically give other creatures that cannot see in absolute darkness darkvision. Heck, you might even have an argument for humans that "are just used to it." If everyone has darkvision, nobody does.
@@derekstein6193 Owls have 120 ft darkvision, and advantage on sight. If a normal bird can see in absolute darkness better than a drow, then cats, must have at least 60 ft without advantage. Because cats are literal symbol of darkvision in humanities culture.
@15:40 It's always so weird when that happens. I was running a Star Wars game once, and the players had to get to Padme's tomb to recover a disk that was hidden there, but there was an Imperial crackdown on rebels ongoing, so the players were given a Gungan guide to get past the Imperials. Naturally, the guide gets killed by Imperials just as the group reaches the forest, so the group will need to decide what to do next as they flee. Instead, the Wookie player grabs the corpse, and runs with it, demanding that the group take it to the Gungans for burial. A Gungan town is kind of on the way, so whatever. The people in the village realize the corpse was an aide to Senator Jar Jar years ago, and promise to do a funeral since he redeemed himself. But no. Now, the group wants to go to Jar Jar to learn this guy's whole story, convinced it would be important, even though it obviously wasn't. So they manage to steal a vehicle and reach the rural hut Jar Jar was living in, only now he's depressed, and he has a limp from the ISB breaking his leg; he tells them his history as senator, and then takes them on a secret path to Padme's tomb. Big nothing burger, time to move on with the story. Long story short, the Empire gets overthrown, and Jar Jar is now elected chancellor because the party brute forced him into becoming one of the leaders of the New Republic after they guilted him into helping the Rebels. So...yeah.
I feel like the jokes are funny when its pandered towards your own sessions and not just generalized like "haha the bard had segs with the dragon classic". For example, I played an old dnd session where the dm gave permission to one of the players to be a tiny whale instead of the other any of the provided races. There was an ongoing joke in the party that when someone asked for something from them (usually something like asking them to grab an object) they couldn't and usually responded with "I don't know what you want from me I'm a whale". This grew to be even funnier when at the second to last session the player had never actually chose a race with stats or bonuses and just wrote "whale" and continued on with character creation.
Yes. Roll less. Nobody wants to see: "I'm gonna go outside." "Sure. Make an athletics check to control your feet." "11." "You manage to walk toward the door without falling over, but it's not pretty. Roll dexterity to reach for the door..." " **sigh** Nat 1." "...oh dear..."
Normally I don't like "Try not to laugh" videos, because not laughing at something funny usually just makes the video less entertaining. You were so absolutely extra in your attempts to not laugh that I think this might be the first TNTL video I actually loved!
I purposefully seek out these kinds of videos when I really need a laugh because they sometimes will have good material purposefully trying to get viewers to laugh. Forget the challenge, I want to be happy. I want to laugh.
idk, i feel like him torturing himself isn't as fun to watch, he should really just make this D&D meme review. don't forget to clap in the beginning, it's tradition.
I don't personally enjoy the videos where they actually try not to laugh and succeed, like the game is supposed to let people get to know your sense of humor, all of us know how to keep a straight face while scrolling at work and its even easier when you cut together the footage. Breaking is what makes it fun imo(But I also don't seek this style of video out so I might not be the target audience)
The easiest way to avoid laughing at D&D memes is to pretend you're your mom listening in from upstairs and don't understand anything that's happening.
So my brother is DMing for the family, and ended up also having a Warlock PC himself (I think he does it well, doesn't try to be in the spotlight or be op or anything); so _he_ decides when his patron wants something of him. His patron is "Krex the Very Petty" though, so it's generally small things like "lie once today" or "attempt to steal something (don't even have to succeed)"
So ready for this video. The painful majority of online D&D content is so unfunny and gets less funny the longer you’re in the community but you usually find good ones
Jacob laugh timestamps: 13:34 was a small exhale before the cough, 14:36 was also a small exhale, 15:04 was probably the start of a laugh, That was pretty good with no real laughs. Nice work!
@11:20 I absolutely agree. People tend to spend way too much time rolling for stuff that isn't risky. Even 3.5 (which I run) has lots of stuff to help you roll fewer dice, such as taking a 10. Like, if a guy wants to jump 10ft across a ravine, and there's space to run up, and he isn't under pressure (such as during a fight or escape scene or such) and he doesnt have a huge negative modifier to his jump checks (from being slow or wearing heavy armor), it's an auto pass because the DC is only 10 and i'll just let them take a 10 instead of rolling.
If your str score is at least 10, you don't even need the DC 10 check. You just can do it. With 10ft run up, you can long jump a number of ft equal to your str score. No check required.
@@THEPELADOMASTER Yes that is how it works in 5e, as was already said in the video. I was just bringing up 3.5 rules for comparison to show people that it also has plenty of stuff in it to reduce unneeded rolling.
Resurrection was also why my wizard carried around the fingers of every NPC and party member that died that she could get too who she felt died unjustly. Nothing creepy or necromancy about that at all
Aye man! Gotta say thanks for the content! Honestly bringing up my confidence to start DMing with your videos, helping me understand I'm a player too, but I play the world, and that I can still have "PC"s in the form of NPCs that have their own story that I dictate at my own will, without worry of some overbearing god-being killing them or making them unhappy because that's me.
Why does everyone think leomunds tiny hut is so small? Its a 10 foot RADIUS. Which means its 20 feet from one side of the circle to the other. You could fit 4 king size beds in the hut and still have room leftover.
Every week my friend and I make memes for our dnd sessions and it is so much fun. There were some really funny one. But for some reason the one that made me laugh the hardest was "Necromancy is Based".
Bring it back at your table. I did with mine. Darkvision, Infravision, Ultravision, and Low-light vision are so much more interesting than whether someone has the 5e Darkvision switch toggled on or off. It makes certain races actually feel special.
@@ianlindsay4134 Lot of contrarian people on Reddit in general. Nicest people I met in d&d community were on r/dndbehindthescreen but that’s more because they put so much effort into what they do and also were just a really helpful resource rather than just being nice people.
One of the things I like about some of the DMs I play with is that they are really loose with skill rolls with things like long jumps. If the jump is within your capabilities to achieve within the rules (16 str, 16 ft long jump), they'll make you roll for the jump, but the pass DC is super low, like 7-8. That way, barring a roll of 1 or 2, you'll succeed with your modifiers.
What a strange hill to die on: Saying that you don't laugh at memes for the thing you like. This hill is almost as strange as the "Dragons aren't weak" hill is small.
If I make you roll to jump a ten-foot ravine when you can reliably jump sixteen, it's a clumsiness check. The pass score is 2, but if your character just fucks up and jumps poorly that sucks
Going to play Try not to Laugh with these DND memes starting now 3:06 Bit of air came out of my nose 5:50 tiny bit of air came out 12:40 nearly broke here Overall, no laughs
I definitely turned into a goat last time we encountered a goat. Is that a druid thing? It did not help me understand the goat. Then our ranger spoke to the goat and the goat said its brothers were big scorpion people, so we left.
That lorax one made me laugh. All the other ones that got you close were targeted so they had less effect on me. I just love a good rhyme man - rhyming all the timing
Made a D&D character I was very attached to. 14 pages in a google doc just for backstory. Had future level up skills planned. Even homebrewed a new bard college with input from the DM. The campaign was canceled before it even began.
