The Big Guy | Dimension 20: Mentopolis [Full Episode] 

They're in the Great Depression. Brennan is a genius

And can we all appreciate Hank Green's 180° switches from unassuming warmth to INTENSE MENACE.

Can't wait for Joanna Fakename to be an extremely important character to this campaign

I love that this campaign isn't run with a big fancy game map and miniatures, as is often done. Instead, it is, in fact, being played in the... *Theater of the Mind.*

Apparently Hank was incredibly nervous but he does such a great job (as does everyone)

I love how the characters represent things like Hyperfixation, Attention, Curiosity, Impulse, Conscience, and most importantly, Fucks

"i gave him all the facts and he made a choice" is my favorite line

Hank Green just casually showing up and dropping the best TTRPG character I've ever seen. Okay man. Okay.

Alex has absolutely stolen the show for me already. They've created just... the saddest little wet cat of a boy. 'Scrappy street kid who just needs an adult to give a shit about them' is one of my favorite tropes in the world, which makes it all the funnier that one of these adults is just 100% ready to throw down with this kid at all times. Also, I can't help but notice that the Fix seems to care a lot about orphans..... 👀maybe enough to adopt one???

Hank green just out-brennaned brennan. Just a random ass vilain monolouge on a whim

Freddie wearing his Dungeons and Daddies shirt while saying a memory is not sexual but not not sexual is a delightful crossover moment 😅

It's Hank and Brennan sharing facts. That's all I need.

1:00:33 Hank's proud face when Brennan said he was truly terrifing is so cute

It’s a show all about finding weird and interesting science facts with a bunch of nerds and following mental tangents. You can find it in podcast places or on RU-vid. Any moments I missed? Feel free to post them here. Is it Thursday yet?

Hank Green being absolutely terrifying wasn’t on my 2023 bingo card, but I’m here for it

I love that in this season we have Hank playing the Most Threatening Guy since Evan Kelmp. And Alex playing the Most Pathetic Guy since Evan Kelmp.

Alex really nailed the performance, I kept cracking up at all of their lines

Glad to see brennan using the ol' "what you didn't see" trick. Very cool to see that the entity is learning from his fellow god-like beings

"Your mortal enemy is a child?" Siobhan's replies are always on point.

Thank you to whoever writes these captions. Writing "hoit" instead of hurt, when Brennan said it in the noir accent, is awesome. These captions are on point and I thank you.

Normally I don’t like “scrappy child” characters but damn Alex is killing it! They’re great at balancing innocence and action and humor 💜

“I don’t see a body, I hope you didn’t eat him.” “It depends on what you mean-He’s gone and i enjoyed it” absolute chills

Amazing how terrifying Hank manages to be while sounding so kind and friendly.

I missed the Critical Role bandwagon, but this legitimately feels like the greatest piece of cooperative media ever socially constructed.

Siobhan getting to harness ADHD to become the impulse is perfect.

That whole "Stacy Fakename" conversation at the beginning had me chuckling like a doofus. Good stuff, man!

It's crazy to see someone doing literally the exact thing they should be doing. It's so rare for someone to have a job that perfectly aligns with who they are, but then here's Brennan, getting paid to be exactly Brennan, and killing it.

No one talks enough about Hans Schadenfreude. I want to see this man more often. God I love him. Design and all.

A. Tension saying "you and your 7 sorry, 6 siblings" - dead eldest brother, her and her 5 siblings.

You know this whole concept feels like a Pixar movie, like Osmosis Jones or Inside Out but based on the brain and I don’t know why but I like it

Love Conrad; so sad, so adorable! Makes me react how Erika's character reacted to Brennan's character in Mischief and Magic.

God, the lighting is ON POINT this season

As someone who struggles with Misophonia, I feel so valid seeing the trigger warnings in the description of this video. It’s the first time I’ve seen my disorder mentioned anywhere outside of my doctor’s office, and it makes me feel like other people know it’s not all in my head. Thanks for making my day a little better D20 team :)

I want to see Aabria Iyengar reacting to The Fix talking about snakes, like, “That’s what it’s like Brennan! That’s what it’s like!”

Growing up watching Hank Green I never thought he’d use his vast scientific knowledge for violence😂

I keep coming back to the snake dick monologue! 58:55 I don't know how Brennan even had the gumption to ask for an intimidation check!

I love how imelda is canonically related to the rest of the pulses, like the ones in the heart

I love how The Fix's threat initially looked like it would be funny, and then it became one of the most terrifying pieces of dialogues the show's ever soon

I absolutely ADORE the work that the lighting and set crew have done! 😮‍💨 When the dome shifted to Hunch’s office and the lights from the shuttered window (that’s NOT THERE AT ALL) cast on Brennan’s face?? 🤯

...but you're never gonna do that!" Hank Green said that as a fact. Not as a request, an order or a command, but as a fucking fact. He said it as if it was true, because he made it true. I swear if he went into security work literally no one would ever argue with him.

"It's not sexual. but it's not, not sexual." Love it Hunch and A. Tension I ship it. Conrad needs to find a way to get a set of those keys

i love the character development of the dome, from being just red blue and green lights, to being screens that show the environment

This has got to be one of my favourite seasons so far. I love the puns, the overall theme, and all of the characters! I think that this has potential for a full 20 episode series! Sadly, it's only 6 episodes, but 6 great ones I bet! ❤

Alex Song-Xia is on a whole other level with this character

Dying over Hank’s little sunshine smile after being told his speech was terrifying

1:40:51 every Conrad line in this scene is GOLDEN, my favourite TTRPG character in a WHILE

I’m here because I heard Freddy Wong say on Dungeons and Daddies that his character was Dan Fucks. All I needed to hear.

I feel like Trapp is supposed to be a main character, but Hank is the real main character, channeling Nicholas Cage in his speech.

33:00 love that my brain immediately registered this as the Breaking News intro lmao

Absolutely love that Dan Fucks has the verbal cadence of any Matt Berry character

Hank absolutely killed it, holy crap. I love The Fix

Adding Hank Green to the cast almost made me cry from excitement. I love this!

This is so friggin' good. The premise, the cast, the characters, the NPCs, the interactions, the set, the sound design... and what a genius Brennan is. I'm seriously gonna have to consider a subscription to Dropout for this.

Hank is so menacing that he gave chills down my spine.

I haven't seen the series, but I'm calling it now: Mr. Lance's full name is gonna be Virgil Lance.

Hank Green explained the premise of this show and thus i am here! No regrets!

Darn, that was so good. Never boring , lots of great roleplay and improv yet no one falls into the voice actor trap. Shit, that's refreshing. Hank, mein Gott, you rock.

Took me hours to realise - "Conrad Shintz". *"Con Shintz".*

Okay, really cute detail. The sound effect they use when switching to The Daily Observer, is the opening of the Don't Laugh News Network... Also this gang is insane and I love them all

I absolutely love a well done punching bag character in comedy, but they're very hard to pull off. Alex absolutely nails that character immediately and I can't wait to see where the rest of this season goes!

I like how the fix has the most distracting facts. Like how do they keep in character after that!

As someone named Elias, I think this series will be funky to watch (in a fantastic way)

Why is Mike Trapp so good at being incredibly funny? I think this guy might be doing comedy or somethin' for a living.

Dimension 20 always comes out of the gate super strong but this a particularly great first episode!

Ngl, not even sure why, but my hype and expectations for this season we’re middling going into it. But this first episode was genuinely so much goddamn fun to watch I think it might be one of my favorites already lmao! The characters, the setting, the player’s energy, and the set are all so good! I’m looking forward to every episode.

I love Siobhan's fake name. My "obviously not my real name" name is Steve McRealname, so I love to see something in a very similar vein.

Stacy Fakename will be the new standard of the disguise kits.

Help I have a crush on the anthropomorphic personification of hyperfixation.

“I understand, I understand we all . . . we all sometimes want to put our finger in the birthday cake . . . *but you’re never gonna do that.”* Holy fuck

Brennan is a force of positivity and good in this world that I just can't fathom existing in human form. I hope he is staying well!

@1:34:23 hank trying desperately not to say yes he knows that fact. good on him for slipping back into the character

Everything about this was perfect! What a great first episode. The lighting, the background graphics, the music! Tropes, tropes, tropes! The players are all so funny and good. I'm so excited for this season! Not to mention Hank gazing at Brennan with hearts in his eyes 😍 every time Brennan does something brilliant, which is a lot. Same, Hank!

I love love love seating Hank Green right next to Freddy Wong. I never thought I would see the two of them in the same room, but to see them on the same show is an absolute delight

Conrad Schnitz made me cry

Hank Green plays his character extremely well, I honestly paid $5 for a dropout subscription just so i could see all the episodes, and let me tell you. He's absolutely phenomenal, he has some of the most thought provoking monologues as well as wholesome & terrifying moments. Ive known him from SciShow for years now but this was an absolute performance on his end. My favorite character so far besides Conrad and Curio.

Really interesting. Seems like the primary conflict is going to be conscience vs ambition, which absolutely makes sense.

I just want you to know that getting Hank on this show is what finally got me to subscribe to Dropout

I thought this campaign wouldn't be my style. I was *dead fucking wrong*

Dan Fux is just the final evolution of Freddie’s dndads character Glenn

So. Freaking. Good. Awesome concept, awesome cast. Love seeing Siobhan in a sidequest, and super jazzed for more Danielle Radford & Trap! Hank & Freddie are awesome gets, and Alex KILLS it in this episode! Loving it so far.❤

This season has unquestionably become a standout favorite of mine. The clever wordplay, the overarching motif, and the entire ensemble of characters have all combined to make it an absolute delight.

I never realized that the Osmosis Jones of the mind Campaign was something I so deeply needed. LOVE IT.

If you aren’t watching with the closed captioning on, turn it on and watch 54:20 it’s incredible!

You guys I cannot recommend dropout enough. The second episode alone makes it worth it

Love to see Freddy's default character voice coming into play, once again 😂

From the moment the detective and reporter met I was wondering if it'd turn into an enemies to lovers trope. Attention and curiosity. Surprise Dan didn't try to set them up.

Grown up Osmosis Jones with a phenomenal cast. Love it! Can't wait to hear the rest!

The captions are stellar as usual, and I really appreciate the timestamped content warnings!

Oh my gosh my depressed brain needed this so much, I love this entire premise so much

In love with this season already. Alex is hysterical. and I am here for Hank facts

I never thought that I would be afraid of something Hank Green said because he seems like such a cinnamon roll, but here we are.

Oxytocin absolutely would be served as a thick, almost gloopy hot chocolate, the kind that makes you feel as though you’re dissolving as you step into a hot bath, but from the inside out…

Loving the season thus far. Dropout's the one steaming service I wholeheartedly recommend to people.

Whoever wrote the sound-effect captions for this video is an unsung hero.

The follow up to Osmosis Jones we’ve needed all along

2:52 "If I ever succeed I'm gonna be so disappointed." Mood.

the moxie token rolling mimicking inside out..... i love it

Ok all of this is just brilliant. The setting, the folks. Hank being the most sinister I could ever have imagined. That slow sad thunk of the tokens. Just all of it.

That trumpet though. Didn’t even notice first time through. Gotta love that they took the time to edit that in

39:53 1:23:11 Love how Dan Fux is spelled differently whenever it shows up
