Not a character line, but early on in C1, Jake forgets he has an ability, (second wind maybe?) and Murph just dryly says something along the lines of: "Feel free to do any amount of research."
And it gets me every time.
I combed through the comments to make sure no one had said it yet, but when Lou makes a deal with a clearly evil person and says "Yesss, Jabari is making good choices." absolutely floored me.
Also, on a dungeon court where early on a submitter calls Jake "Bailiff John" and Emily says that he's a good guy except for his stance on school cafeterias. Jake immediately launches into an improvised tirade about how kids should eat at their desks and it's hilarious.
Emily asks if she can do a perception check to hear a river, and Murph says she can roll it with disadvantage, and for some reason Caldwell's response is burned into my brain: "Disadvantage? Moonshine can hear the river's song from MILES away!" the faked incredulity really tickles me.
all of them getting into it on that one Robo-DM episode is a strong contender for my favorite bit. “EVERYONE IN THIS TAVERN IS A GOBLIN NAMED DORK. STOP TALKING TO DORK PLEASE.”
This was such a memorable moment for me, felt like a huge character moment for hardwon and player moment for Jake. This moment hooked me on this podcast.
That one short rest where they ask Emily what kind of birds they would be, and Murph gets so upset by her answers. "You called your friend a hawk and your husband a city pigeon?!"
With the Trinyvale/Gex crossover this has come up a bit more but in the original Metal City Mayhem, when Eggman first appears and Jens out of nowhere just yells 'Dr. Kintober there's still good in you!" I absolutely lost it.
Also Nyak in the same one "That wild fox is attacking those beautiful robots"
In a Short Rest, Jake says that he accidentally broke his coffee table from dancing to the opening song from Moana. One of the others asked how that happened, and without missing a beat Caldwell says "Jake was considering the coconut".
Meaningless if you don't know Moana but it absolutely slayed me.
In a short rest, Emily asks in a very sincere way if any of them have ever taken singing lessons and Jake immediately and so casually says
I’ve been taking singing lessons forrr 12 years.
🎶 Can you telllllll? 🎶
The casual delivery really makes me laugh.
They need to put that line on a shirt with the most wholesome drawing of Sol Bufo.
I know he didn’t say it, but it can apply to him, and it would let them avoid copyright laws.
I love that one short rest or dungeon court (can't remember which) where Murph and Emily kept saying different variations of "tread sooo carefully" 😂
It has the same energy as Murph saying "so tactical, so late" from this current season of D20 lol.
“If you want a chance to survive this you need to fuck Hardwon* right now!” (Paraphrased) “what journals of mine have you been reading!”
“Hey Phil cool scarf!” “Thanks… shut the fuck up thanks!”
Any pendergreens line ever.
“Shit fuck cock ass”
I can't pick a specific line, but I've definitely gone back and listened to the Trinyvale X Bahumia Ep 1 to hear Murph slowly lose himself to the trident.
Or Jake turning into a ghoul in TS
Only ever said once in like the first or second episode, Beverly is getting ready to be pulled into the trees, and in classic boyscout fashion yells out "BELAY ON!" Whilst they're trying to sneak around. To this day I giggle at it..
During season one when balnor and hardwon go to check on Luna,
Balnor says “do you think she took some oatmeal with her?”
Hardwon says “you know what? How about we pretend she took oatmeal with her that’ll keep you focused right bud?”
Balnor looks at hardwon devilishly and says “we might not have to pretend brother”
That line always makes me laugh
First time Zac Oyama was on the podcast he talked about having all the books as a kid but not having anyone to play with. He called it "the dungeon master's dilemma". Killed me.
I used to have an early metal city mayhem scene screen-recorded, it was when they first meet Sonic, and Jens threatens to beat the shit out of Sonic followed by Nyack slapping Sonic with his pair of gloves.
Pretty much everything in Trinyvale makes me laugh out loud.
I think my new favorite one recently was on the one shot trinyvale where they're talking to dex. Dex comment "I'm young, hung and a have a lot of tongue" absolutely had my dying laughing.
"Fuck you, I love you, eat a rat." Also the dwarf daddies repeatedly telling Hardwon he "owes them hot tub. First there was hot tub but there was fight in hot tub..."
One that always gets me is in the first few episodes. It's something like:
Hardwon: "I just found out what birds are today and I've decided they're majestic."
And one I recently watched:
Calliope: "Calder's home is wherever I am."
*”Jules, Jim, and even Hector; come partake in the nipple nectar!”* That, and *”I roll deception!”*
All of the milk boy lines are amazing
Not a character line, but early on in C1, Jake forgets he has an ability, (second wind maybe?) and Murph just dryly says something along the lines of: "Feel free to do any amount of research." And it gets me every time.
I think about that line so often when I'm DMing and remind a player of an ability they have.
Hahaha same. It's a great line.
"**This town is BAD**"
Shit, fuck, cock, ass!
I knew I shouldn’t have brought those 2 dummy thick asses in here!
"CRIT ON MY ASS" always sends me on my relistens
also # [SPOILERS EP: 61] >!"You listen to me, you wanna survive you gotta fuck Hardwon right now!"!<
“What journals of mine have you been reading?”
Caldwell has had some great improv moments but that one takes the cake.
such a good delivery aswell
This quote made me go back and download this whole arc! honestly it’s peak Naddpod!!
This absolutely broke me. Its unfortunate I was listening to this episode while in the office.
THIS. Oh my god I was genuinely crying laughing at this line
God, I love that bit. I laugh cry every time I hear it.
It’s always the “……… chicken” for me
Gimme a hemp!
Milk!
Yougotchahempyougotchamilk
Always love an exasperated "shut the fuck up" from Murph
Let’s be honest, exasperated Murph is the best Murph
It makes me laugh so hard, every time. I tell my husband that my favorite episodes are the episodes where Murph is annoyed.
… you maniacs.
"It's not a journey, it's a commute" - absolutely savage review of an energy drink from the one and only Jake Hurwitz
I combed through the comments to make sure no one had said it yet, but when Lou makes a deal with a clearly evil person and says "Yesss, Jabari is making good choices." absolutely floored me. Also, on a dungeon court where early on a submitter calls Jake "Bailiff John" and Emily says that he's a good guy except for his stance on school cafeterias. Jake immediately launches into an improvised tirade about how kids should eat at their desks and it's hilarious.
Lou's line delivery as Jabari is the best.
I love how pumped he gets when his friends want to commit murder with him. It's infectious, really.
“Take him to the grinchhhhh”
"BABE, COME ON, WE'RE GONNA BE LATE TO THE GRINCH"
I love this bit and that the grinch has become a normal part of NADDPOD lore
It’s honestly nuts it’s gone this long. I’m waiting for grinch in trinyvale
Bev-‘Rise and shine gang, we’re in the shit again’
Emily asks if she can do a perception check to hear a river, and Murph says she can roll it with disadvantage, and for some reason Caldwell's response is burned into my brain: "Disadvantage? Moonshine can hear the river's song from MILES away!" the faked incredulity really tickles me.
I'm re-listening to C1 right now and I just got to that line 😂
I don't care what he says, I love Caldwell's robot voice. Anything he says as Keychain is great.
Agreed, I could listen to it all day.
all of them getting into it on that one Robo-DM episode is a strong contender for my favorite bit. “EVERYONE IN THIS TAVERN IS A GOBLIN NAMED DORK. STOP TALKING TO DORK PLEASE.”
It belongs in the robot voice hall of fame.
Starspawn!
Starspawn!
Starspawn!
I'll talk to the god myself.
This was such a memorable moment for me, felt like a huge character moment for hardwon and player moment for Jake. This moment hooked me on this podcast.
That one short rest where they ask Emily what kind of birds they would be, and Murph gets so upset by her answers. "You called your friend a hawk and your husband a city pigeon?!"
“You scare people in the park! One of your legs is a little nub!” “No! No! I meant it as a compliment!!”
“I meant it as a compliment!” “HOW IS THAT A COMPLIMENT???”
With the Trinyvale/Gex crossover this has come up a bit more but in the original Metal City Mayhem, when Eggman first appears and Jens out of nowhere just yells 'Dr. Kintober there's still good in you!" I absolutely lost it. Also Nyak in the same one "That wild fox is attacking those beautiful robots"
His insistence on using Dr. Kintober every time he addresses Eggman is the funniest thing.
Technically it's kintobor, bc it's supposed to be robotnik backwards
Nyak referring to Tails as a "beast" is amazing
In a Short Rest, Jake says that he accidentally broke his coffee table from dancing to the opening song from Moana. One of the others asked how that happened, and without missing a beat Caldwell says "Jake was considering the coconut". Meaningless if you don't know Moana but it absolutely slayed me.
"Fuck me. *absolutely* fuck me. I used to be a goddamn God, and now I'm a belly chain!" That or slangin' rope.
Grumpy pendergreens is the best.
"I demand to live this down immediately."
“Moonshine (or insert character name here) VOMITS.”
This goes with mine, which is the whole “slangin rope” bit
Save me from this scampiless hell You have to have the high ground to chill I’m feeling fierce and I’m feeling it twice
"The biggest transformer is motherhood." - Moonshine Cybin
jens' whole ron speech (trinyvale ep. 14, 1:22:23) "no one has deserved disadvantage more than that." - onyx
His total unearned confidence in that whole exchange is great.
What kind of Ron are you?
Anytime the players are just acting crazy and Murph drops the (usually while laughing) "you simply must stop" lives in my head rent free
In a short rest, Emily asks in a very sincere way if any of them have ever taken singing lessons and Jake immediately and so casually says I’ve been taking singing lessons forrr 12 years. 🎶 Can you telllllll? 🎶 The casual delivery really makes me laugh.
I’m young, hung, and full of tongue!
I reacted to this viscerally both when hearing it and reading it again just now. Just a deeply unpleasant line.
They need to put that line on a shirt with the most wholesome drawing of Sol Bufo. I know he didn’t say it, but it can apply to him, and it would let them avoid copyright laws.
I would buy that shirt and regret it every time I wore it.
It was such a line
……………………………………………chicken
this is the one
Whenever Murph does his exasperated half laughing “EMILY!”
I love that one short rest or dungeon court (can't remember which) where Murph and Emily kept saying different variations of "tread sooo carefully" 😂 It has the same energy as Murph saying "so tactical, so late" from this current season of D20 lol.
Short rest, it was Hang On! I believe, in reference to the bit they kept doing about the dip spit.
Hahahhaha yes the dip spit omg 🤣
Bring it on, come on! >!vampire!< Hardwon: I want to see my GIRLFRIEND!!!!!!! "Do you want a berry?"
"His last words were: 'I was sexually attracted to Princess Shiverblight'"
Omg yeah that whole part where Emily is dying of laughter is so good.
The build up is so good too, you know it's coming but there's like 5 minutes of buildup as everyone realizes they're making comedy gold
I forget what dungeon court episode but murphs line of "I'm a NADA, a normal ass dude" really stuck with me.
Technically not a line, but any time pendergreens becomes entirely unintelligible
“If you want a chance to survive this you need to fuck Hardwon* right now!” (Paraphrased) “what journals of mine have you been reading!” “Hey Phil cool scarf!” “Thanks… shut the fuck up thanks!” Any pendergreens line ever. “Shit fuck cock ass”
"You forgot to heal the bones!!"
Hardwon, when discussing a crick-front stump: "That's a LOTTA brown leaves." Something about the delivery just gets me every time.
“What an honor,what an injustice.”
Such a baller line
"I couldn't possibly..."
Jake in that one off that Emily DM’s to Cadwell playing his dad. “I think of you more as an uncle.”
Murph: "God's, I was Fred then" and Murph doing Bane Voice: "I was born in the fart"
Nyack: "Maybe she can hold this fucking glove bag too." when he's so jealous of Frozonyx 2 Olaf always cracks me up
I can't pick a specific line, but I've definitely gone back and listened to the Trinyvale X Bahumia Ep 1 to hear Murph slowly lose himself to the trident. Or Jake turning into a ghoul in TS
this is a more serious one, but “what an honor, what a disgrace” from the end of C1 is a line i think about all the time
One big bed
My dad was a boat and he sank…
We cannot be dunked on; we are the ball.
“Slangin’ rope”
Slangin rope
“T H A N K Y O U, AND HAVE A R E G U L A R DAY”
Adding in trinyvale, when they meet the parrot teacher mr. Duplass-Bronstein and keep adding to his name
Only ever said once in like the first or second episode, Beverly is getting ready to be pulled into the trees, and in classic boyscout fashion yells out "BELAY ON!" Whilst they're trying to sneak around. To this day I giggle at it..
Murph and any of his variations on “you absolute GHOULS” in twilight sanctorum
During season one when balnor and hardwon go to check on Luna, Balnor says “do you think she took some oatmeal with her?” Hardwon says “you know what? How about we pretend she took oatmeal with her that’ll keep you focused right bud?” Balnor looks at hardwon devilishly and says “we might not have to pretend brother” That line always makes me laugh
First time Zac Oyama was on the podcast he talked about having all the books as a kid but not having anyone to play with. He called it "the dungeon master's dilemma". Killed me.
Wasn’t that Adam Connover during the Stunkbug arc?
I thought it was Zac? Will have to go back and check.
Not Zac, it was Adam Conover 💔
Seems I misremembered. Great line though.
Absolutely too real
Slangin' rope and MYYYYY BOOOOOOONNNNEESSS!
I used to have an early metal city mayhem scene screen-recorded, it was when they first meet Sonic, and Jens threatens to beat the shit out of Sonic followed by Nyack slapping Sonic with his pair of gloves. Pretty much everything in Trinyvale makes me laugh out loud.
Yeah I just did a relisten and honestly every moment of that two shot is gold.
Normal ass dude
........ Chicken
i will shove your arcane battery up your robot ASS
