It's a special kind of funny not knowing any of those references and seeing Jacob being tortured live on camera by them

I love that Spenser was basically able to deconstruct him when every other meme got a small snort at best.

Jacob jumpscare warning at 0:00

The "this will also uncircumcise you" one gets me every time

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

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.

Jacob: I am NOT here to play around!

Me, the Narrator: He was totally here to play around...

I wonder. If you cut a character's corpse perfectly in two and cast Resurrection on both halves at the same time, do you get existential horror?

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

He struggled, but he survived, not one single laugh. This time, unlike last time, where he did 110% laugh.

I love how you can hear him physically hold back a laugh once he reads some of these. It's great seeing how hard he tries at holding back laughter

Jacob: "look at me. I did not even smile"
Jacob's editor: "cut, cut, cut, cut..."

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.

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.

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

Without any context, seeing these really random images and Jacob just going "Oh, I know what these are, it's personal now!" is really funny

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!

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..."

@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.
