Adam respawns with "get mugged" achievement unlocked.
It should become a speedrun category, get mugged in honey -moon- wood
@@finbruan Who is on their honeymoon now?
Realm First
He could just give them the gold then.
lol, then he respawns, picks up the gold they dropped, and the sword, and comes out ahead
00:03 Turning around with that chest was a wise decision.
I bet so many people missed that 😂😂😂
I know I did
me too!
ou I was so blind.
The effort they put into these skits, i missed that completly but its such a gokd addition
I’ve never been more emotionally affected by a VLDL video before. From the accuracy of his blade not being bloody only 2 seconds after killing an NPC, to the inevitable realization of what going to happen to Bernard and hoping that he respawns once arrested and hanged. All ending with his best friend, the only friend he’s ever known and spent every living minute with (that he can remember), walking away from him and leaving him like trash on the road to Whiterun.
My favorite one on the "tragedy" aspect is still overly enthusiast Greg's mission duplicate realizing he's just a clone of quest-giver and seller Greg and so he's about to disappear to nothingness as soon as the player finish the quest (which he's about to do)
Never been more emotionally affected before? You haven't seen "Soulmate" - way more real than this.
Actually the Muggers are NPCs, and the guy they killed was a player
How high were you while watching this lmao
Well now we know a general idea of how high Bernard’s level is. Which is to say high enough to kill a level 12 player with, not just one attack, but a prolonged execution cutscene like in Skyrim when an enemy is so strong they just obliterate your health bar.
Nah, it's a cutscene-derived execution, levels don't factor into it. This is the result of the player choosing particular branches of the dialogue tree, a different option (like givin' 'em all his gold) or even a shift to action would likely have changed the outcome. I'm also guessing that, had the player defeated Bernard and Charles in combat, they would have a cutscene depicting their inevitable escape to mug another day.
“There’s no way we have more material for these muggers”
“….. what if they actually mugged someone?”
😮
There are SO many things the Muggers can do. They are the Pirates of Penzance only without the singing (so far). ❤
They could even mug people while riding a horse, or maybe even a Dragon!
They did once... a dragon... so the legend says.
Now they've had a transformative experience, the life changing possibilities are endless!
I just heard Greg's voice in my head yelling: "HEY! I saw THAT! I'm a WITness to THIS murder". 🤣
Guard coming in: "You there! F*ck you!" 🤣
@@DragonsAreHungry That was brilliant ! The ''no points in charisma'' ep
@@DragonsAreHungry So Guard Rowan will have to take out Mugger Rowan😃
Same I also thought that🤣
Isn't that from the rdr logic episodes😂
"Give us all your gold" is the best and most honest merch pitch I have ever heard.
*tf #2*
The expressions having subtitles is amazing. Also, Rowan's physical acting is amazing.
"Low IQ sounds" 😂 The subtitles are amazing
I think I liked "Low IQ sound #2" even better 🤣
I liked the "tf!" Bits every time for Ben 😂😂
@@triffid0hunter did u know there was also a "Low IQ sound #3"?
was about to comment this exact bit
"sword inserted" 🤣🤣
Mugger: Keep your blood money.
Adventure: I killed an entire room of puppies for this gold.
A widely known fact that that the adventurers are the real scourge pon the land. Highlighted in "Goblins: A life through their eyes"
Pfft, come talk to me when you've gone through the Twilight Arbor(explorable) Dungeon... there's a tunnel of sadness...
@@gvasilyev84 I remember that in bg1 the chief Xvar came asking you in rage why you were killing every one in there. That they've done nothing to the hero.
Deep cut reference!
I just realized, they really just forgot about their banter at the start
the subtitles are like always a gold mine of additional chuckles on top of the great skit
Always love a return to the old Honeywood setting with the muggers and Greg outside his hut handing out quests. Feels like the show never forgets its roots.
Suddenly Guard Rowan comes round the corner " Hey! Murder is a crime punishable by death!"
Glad I'm not the only one who thought that. "For the peace of the kingdom!"
For King and Country!
I was actually anticipating the Guard to appear as they were running away from the crime scene.
Nah, remember? NPC Guards are totally useless!
"There's someone prowling 'round here!"
The true horror is that was all a set up to sell mugs.
The mugs color change as you bleed on them to reveal the horror of mugging rather than the muggers smiling faces...
I feel like such a mug.
I think, they've.... mugged us! :(
Murders Mug...design idea?
I'm convinced. Take my money!
The mugger clips are always my favorites because it's so obviously two very good friends having a blast pretending to be apes
"Ben.exe has stopped working"
3:34
when the player is actually too soft-hearted to roleplay his evil background.
We seen that before in sketch
Where Ben character try to be Evil Character with Rowen telling what to do but also prove him that being bad guy is harder than Ben thought
This is actually how you unlock the undead trait in the game
I feel called out.
@@toyohimeyeswatatsuki6917 Well, purposefully becoming a scumbag, being a kind person is really difficult. This is a very strong trauma that must be in order to persuade a person to the side of evil. In another case, it is quite easy
totally me in skyrim... even my Orcs are nice guys 🥴🥴🥴🥴
Missed opportunity to show Adam respawning in the background and going right on about his business while Bernard's existential crisis is unfolding.
Or maybe Adam respawns and actually go comfort Bernard, saying "It's okay, I'm right here." But then Bernard notices something, the camera zooms out, showing both living Adam and dead Adam. And so Bernard gets into a bigger existential crisis.
Right? I was sure this would happen!
Or maybe he leaves and then Adam respawns and Greg watches as Adam picks up all the dropped loot to sell to Greg
Bernard just thinks he's seeing him everywhere from guilt.
Charles: *traumatizes Bernard*
Also Charles: think about what you've done
One of the best mugging episodes yet, and the captions made it even better. That "tf" one from Adam cracked me up 😂
2:44 Folding an ear is an original way to hold a helmet in place
Yeah, Ii thought that looked pretty uncomfortable. It was making me wince just watching it.
I find it particularly impressive that he has committed to that little detail in every single mugger skit.
The price to pay when your brain is too big!
Glad I'm not the only one who noticed that.. only one ear though.
When the promotion at the end is just as entertaining as the skit.
*”GIVE US ALL YOUR GOLD… and we’ll MUG ya!”*
Well it was sort of just one big (entertaining) promotion to mug us.
Boss: "Why are you late?"
You: 'Got mugged.'
_[Sip from new mug with your own face on it.]_
"Shit, didn't work, you go Bernard" killed me.
Adam playing a calm and collected character is the best
2:53 Sub: "Really crying" That's the kind of acting that earns you the Oscar.
2:56 *prepping for more crying*
*CRYING*
And then Adam respawns, takes the gold back and walks away.
Easy days, no issue
Dying over how Ben's pinky is sticking out at 2:28. So elegant.
Yup. He wears the pretty clothes, and has the pretty words and manners and mannerisms. ❤
He's not a mugger anymore, he has elevated, or fallen (depends how you look at it) to a murderer. He is now on his own. He has now two options, he can look for a redemption, or accept the murderer path and become solo.
I imagine Adam respawning and wondering why his gold is still there on the location of his death.
Edit: aswell as bandit swords
He clearly knew they didn't have the guts. Probably not surprised, even if, witnesses can clarify.
this is why you always find your loot on exactly that spot you died 💁🏻♂️💫
@@PoobertFartley
Some MMOs you drop some of your stuff for PK'ers to loot.
I wish they added that. He pops up, picks up his hold, grins, and merrily goes on his way.
Don't forget the brand new sword lol
Love the muggers like you wouldn't believe. They get so much characterization and personality poured into them.
Bernard was never the same after that day. No longer lusting for gold, the trauma having stolen his very voice, he wandered the lands of Azerim, searching for peace. Until, one day, he ran into a fisherman, relaxing on the shores of a river and spouting his random NPC lines. "Nothing as peaceful as a good day of fishing," he said, and, "A great day for fishing here on the river." Long Bernard spent learning at his side. "Fishing's the least greedy profession there is. Catch a fish, there's your dinner. Don't catch a fish, there's a nice relaxing day. It's all good."
Until, one day, Bernard came to the fishing hole to find the fisherman murdered, what little gold he'd had missing. He'd been mugged. Bernard had never again wished to use the skill he'd learned at killing, but so enraged was he that he sought out the adventurer who had done in the old fisherman and mugged him right back.
He buried the old fisherman with his own old armor and sword and the adventurer's gold, for he knew not what had or hadn't belonged to the fisherman. Then, he took up the old man's fishing pole, swearing never to kill again. He wandered for years, shunning violence, seeking only the peace of fishing, and, slowly, learning to speak again.
When he returned to Honeywood, none even recognized him, and, unable to force out more than a few lines he'd practiced over and over, he could not introduce himself. They called him Baelin allowed him to settle near the town and fish at its lake, and he is known to be the most peaceful and cheerful man in town, if perhaps a touch dim.
But, sometimes Greg gives him a look, like he remembers, and now he knows, or at least suspects. Baelin isn't sure whether or not that's a good thing, if Greg is suspicious or proud that he's overcome his past. Either way, is probably good that someone has some idea what he's capable of, in case something breaks in him and he kills again.
Because, sometimes, with the right - or wrong - motivations... Well, he is no longer moved by gold, but by peace, and sometimes...
Well, the old man was right that there isn't anything _more_ peaceful than a day of fishing. However, some things are just _as_ peaceful, and the grave is the only one a person can be forced into.
Until, his hand is forced, however, it's a "great day for fishin', innit? Hueh huh!"
(Yes, I realize this Baelin prequel ignores the fact that he's actually walked past Bernard before.)
☠️
telling someone to give their money under the threat of violence is mugging, so they have been mugging for a long time, they just never had to go through with violence before.
They've never threatened violence, they've only threatened that they would threatened if they didn't get gold.
You mean these muggers have actually......never mugged anyone?
They mugged a cart once I think?
@@Immopimmoand a dragon... Or atleast they tryed
Once they mugged a fruit vendor, they took everything from him!
usually they agree to the mugging.
and a dead horse
And this is how Bernard became a guard. "Fer da piece o da kingdum!"
I'd love it if that became the story arc. Like a redemption story.
I was hoping for a pop at the end with Adam respawning with an achievement or something like "You traumatized the muggers!" LOL
I just love how Adam is just unfazed at what is going on
0:15 Bernard casually forgetting the fact that it took a SERIOUS amount of coxing from Charles to amp him up to defeat that dragon. It was only when Bernard realized there was indeed 2 of us, and only 1 of him, that he felt confident in taking down that dragon.
*coaxing
Adam: “I’m sick of having to cry in NPC skits all the time, you guys do it for once”
😂
hey adam, why don't you cy about it?
uhuk ehek ohuk uhuk
"Give us your gold or we'll mug ya!" I never really thought about it until today that any successes they've had were technically gifts in their eyes.
They killed entire families, villages, and dragons for their gold. That adventurer was the final straw that made them emotionally snap.
Rowan's crying face is beyond beautiful with how long I've seen him as a manager. Love it lol
Joke's on you.
Adam's into it.
He grabbed the shoulder to pull into it. He didn't care about 3gp, lmao.
@@JonesCrimson Dutch Rudder
He bloody loves it
@@VivaLaDirtLeague He loves bloodying it.
@@VivaLaDirtLeague cry.wav
Ooh yeeah.. I remember guards in Fable 2 saying, "You just signed your death warrant".
Took me a moment to remember where the hell that was from. Which in itself is a reference to full metal jacket, but not a direct quote.
I love how they basically all have to brainstorm first and then cooperate for the mugging to happen.
This is an example of when someone calls you out on your bullsh*t
Did you do it?
Yes.
What did it cost?
Everything
Edit: 3 gold
Whoever wrote the subs DEFINITELY needs a raise 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I kind of love those two. They are touching
I now require a 10 hour loop of Ben and Rowan saying “no you mug him” to each other over and over
Oh no, what have you done? But also, brilliant idea!
I thought the entire video would be them making threats, didn't expect them to actually do anything violent, and DEFINITELY didn't expect how that turned out
Mugger had a forced villain arc.
The cinematic horror of the close up of the sword creeping deeper into it's victim was really well done.
Man... The muggers need thier own movie...
**crying**
**Prepping for more crying** genius subtitles.
“Oh no! The actions of my consequences!”
The point where they realized a class change is in order.
The mugger skits are some of my favorites. Glad to see them back!
And this is the beginning of Bernard's redemption arc
The occasion to introduce a mad priest?
Waiting for him to show up in the Azerim DND campaign when Bodger inevitably gets himself killed doing something stupid.
What you are saying is we need another movie? Ü
Was half expecting greg to start shouting "hey I saw that im going to tell the guards"
In another script idea:
- NO, Rowan, if you mug someone, they DIE!
- HOW in the bloody hell would they die? They just lose their gold! Clearly, you have NO IDEA, how this games work, ALAN!
-Oh, REALLY? Why don't you stab this one then, wise-ass?
- OH-OH, I AM the wise-ass, because I understand gaming logic, right?
- That's NOT how it works, Rowan!
- OK, OK, watch it...
*stabs
*Adam dies
- See?
*incoherent mumbling
- Outrageous!
I am truly amazed at the top shelf level of writing for this show. I must have seen a dozen or more of just these muggers (There is even a 30min comp of the 'stupid muggers'). All they are doing is mugging, yet still his makes me laugh. They've tried to mug a chicken, a dragon, a cart, and even each other. I can't even say its the same joke, cause just like in this skit the Viva writers put a different spin on it every time. Bare in mind even professional writers have a very hard time doing what Viva seems to do so easily.
So Adam respawns and gets his gold back and a free sword, plus he gave the mugger PTSD, it's a complete win 😂
"Ive murdered familes, entire villiages"
Ye surely lmao
You wouldn't know them, they're in another realm.
I wasn't expecting them to actually do it. :o
Both of them are going through an existential crisis now...should be an interesting development.
Remember guys: They're Muggers, not Murders.
Please support your local NPC Mugger.
Love Charles and Bernard stories, their skits are so good at so many levels.
Only thing missing was Balen walking past at the end and shaking his head in dissapointment.
Oh god. That would have been even more devastating
*in a disappointed tone* mornin' nice day for fishing ain't it... hu ha...
Or a guard on the other end of the town walkway just like, "For the PEACE of the KINGDOM", looking in the other direction.
Hahaha true that
Where's the City Guard!? "For king and country!"
I was worried the muggers might be about done, but I'm so happy to see them again. I love the mugger skits so much.
lol - love how Rowan has his ear folded to tuck under his helmet (and that the blood on his sword somehow magically disappears.) And even though I don't need any more coffee mugs... I need more coffee mugs...
Bernard should have put the money in his pocket and got mugged by Charles immediately.
That would have resulted in this skit: /watch?v=fd0YiVeqC1o
I did not expect this. Nor did I expect to ever feel bad for those two. perfect acting
With how many times Adam says "no" and "ok" this could be a you-have-only-one-option-to-continue dialogue tree.
"low IQ sounds" xD those CC kills me everytime haha
The skits already funny, but with subtitles on it gets even funnier lol😂
I lost it at "Low IQ noises"
They need to do something about mid-level muggers wandering into the starter zone. They look exactly the same as the easy muggers, which a level 12 character can easily beat.
We need a redemption arc for Bernard.
I never expected them to actually go through with it and neither did I think Adam’s char wouldn’t have a backup plan - someone must have fiddled with the programming!
Mugger has taken the dark path event quest is now active. Either turn the dark mugger back to the good path alot of exp and alot of rep or turn him in to the nearest guard to collect stained red gold that was found next to the body of the innocent victim.
Was expecting to hear "for the peace of the kingdom" as Rowan beheads himself(a guard NPC killing the mugger) and then everybody to be totally fine with that after getting dramatic about the mugging... Or for Adam to respawn and loot his own corpse while Rowan the mugger cried revealing he left his valuables at the bank expecting to die to heal up.
Bernard whispering "thank you" to the guard, followed by Charles crying inconsolably over the corpse, and attacking the guard in order to join his friend in death.
What a performance. Love the dynamic between you two.
Would love to see more of Ben's self aware npc character fleshes out in future episodes.
Me watching him freak out: “Bro , chill out he’s gonna respawn in like, 20 seconds.”
If Bernard had been carrying his usual club this day it seems like all of this could have been avoided.
Or it would have been way, way more graphic...
When Bernard killed Adams character i really expected (Judging by his face) Gregg to point and yell "Murderer!" Ala RDR2 😂 great work guys.
Hope this becomes a mini series of Bernard falling down the rabbit hole randomly becoming a feared warlord, and Charles seeking redemption by trying to bring Bernard justice for his wrong doings
Adam respawns and they both completely forget about all and try to mug him again.
I've genuinely never wanted to hug rowan more than when I heard the poor mugger crying, realizing what he's actually done.
Damn guys, seriously yall are doing so well!
To be fair, he had been warned
I don't know but some of these should have a part 2, that starts right after the video ends lol. I think you guys could put it together pretty well.
I can see Fred showing up suddenly and being like, "Oh, so he's worth mugging but not me?" 🤣
And this is how he turned to a peaceful life as a fisherman.
Love walking up to a VLDL video. Starts the day off right.
Is it a long hike?
@@deathbunny3048 😂
Not even going to change my mistake. So funny
It is an amazing mistake 😂
I really need a continuation of this arc!
"I'm still pushing, I'M STILL PUSHING!"
My favourite part was when Charles and Bernard said "It's Muggin' Time!" and mugged all over the place.
This is class
My favourite bit was the 1 shot Spider-Man cameo
The pun at the end completely reversed the downer tone at the end. Awesome job.
You know... i laughed at first.
But on a rewatch, i can actually see the trauma forming beneath those cries of horror and i have to say: kudos to you guys! That was some great humor, drama, and great writing! Had me reeling with two big emotions the whole time.
"Oh, it's too much!"
That's what she said.
Good timing lol. Within 10s of me checking
He had three gold to be fair, that’s more than two and there was only one of him. I’d say it was worth it!
If only criminals had such a conscience.
Gotta love how this still slams as a short skit after all these years, and those closeouts!
