The Ultimate 'MAKIN-MA-WAY' Supercut

Aww you missed one of my favourites! Episode 129 right as Matt is first describing the plane of fire. Great compilation, this must have taken so much time and work and energy, like holy moly this is pretty all-encompassing and honestly _very_ impressive! Lovely work!

I love how you can see it go from being a recurring joke to just a reflex.

I love how it just slowly devolved from actually singing that song a little to just "makinmaway"

They should start a new trend whenever Matt says "And I need you...", then everyone else to chime in with a "And I miss you"

Marisha physically hiding from Matt after her lil "doo doo" at 2:04 🥺😍

Travis at 1:12 : STOP
Narrator's voice: they did not, in fact, stop

I love how it went from 🎶making my way🎶 to just a high pitched "meymawa"

Can we appreciate how whenever Matt was speaking, they ALWAYS made a much softer and unobtrusive "makin my way"? Golden players right there.

This is everything I ever wanted
Now we need an "It's been a while" one!

Sam’s dead serious expression after saying “shakinmyway” and Beau saying “HES COLLAPSING THE TUNNEL” KILLED me

Can't wait for the next live show where an entire sea of critters just screams out "MAKINMAWAY"

Sam’s concerned face parroting shakinmyway and quakinmyway killed me

I love Talesin's smile of fucking anger as he realizes what he's done.
"MAKIN MY WAY"
"Thank you, okay..."

I love that Ashley always finishes the song with whatever’s going on

This video is 8 minutes of just pure serotonin enhanced audio.

The moments when Matt gives his spouse the Neutral Face of Displeasure are just gold 😂 and the way Marisha hides her face because she's laughing so hard.

i love that it started as actually singing then devolved to saying three words as fast as possible

My favourite ones are when it’s so fast it isn’t even recognisable as words and is just “mrup”.

95% of critical role is just these goofs trying to make eachother laugh, we just get to join them on the ride 😂

I love that Marisha's enjoyment of the joke never dimmed as time went on.

"Making my way to the worm."
She is either fighting a monster or drinking tequila.

Matt must be the most patient DM in the world.

Last's night's episode had one of the absolute best "Makin-Ma-Way" moments ever.
Taliesin: I'm gonna slowly make my way to --
Marisha, Laura, Ashely, Robbie, Travis: Maaaaaaaaaaaakin-Maaaaa-Waaaaaaaaaaaaay

Marisha: doo doo
Matt: *DEATH STARE*

I am so happy the joke made it into the animated series!

Can you imagine if they had to pay royalties every time they said that.

Ashley, Laura, Sam, and Travis without fail: makinmyway
Liam, Taliesin, and Matt: 😐

You know it’s “bad” when Matt says it while Sam is talking lol

5:57 It's the glare, the look of a man beholden to some viral chant seemingly soldiering through the way making ritual without the enthusiasm of a neophyte. He just does it through parallel processing and continues on, much like how many people grant blessings to one who has sneezed in the presence of others.

And now it's evolved into an actual song, I love it.

i think the only one that its missing its Sam's "snaking its way" with the lava river xDD

3:11 Travis begrudgingly giving in and doing it after no one else did it....
It's so interesting how it evolved thooo. From changing the lyrics and adding the diddle-lee-diddle-doo, to a shorter version that still caught at least Matt off guard, to becoming an expected thing, to applying it to other words.... great.
Also I only joined in c2e131 (snakingtheirway), and when I recently watched all the Narrative Telephones i thought it stemmed from there, but it's been around so much longer!

7:05 Matt joined in and finally the group was harmonized in unity 🤧

New fan of critical role here, just learning about this running gag. I can’t believe I didn’t notice this happen once in the entirety of Ashley’s one-shot, but I assure you after watching this video I’ll never miss it again.

It has become a pavlovian response at this point

I'm watching the latest campaign, and I needed this catalogue of how it deteriorated from a whole song to just real quick and light "makinmaway" and sometimes it's JUST the noises/notes of it and I love that. I also love Liam's "we're just inside jokes"

I love how Ashley always does it for herself 😂

I feel like maybe you do hold some responsibility for getting "A Thousand Miles" by Vanessa Carlton stuck in our heads...

I love how it gradually gets faster as they try and get it past Matt lol

I knew one of you dorks was gonna immortalize this joke at some point.
Travis: *STOP IT*

I love how they started to say it quicker as to not take up more time on the joke but it ended up making it much more funnier

As a DM myself, I feel Matt's expressions in my *soul.*

I love when Matt participates like at 7:05 XD

6:55 is the best one yet. They all harmonized

"snakintheirway" killed me 😂

Loved it! Even got Ashley's one-shot in there. What's missing is Exandria Unlimited incidents where Ashley and Matt did it. Mostly Ashley.

I love how part of it is trying to sneak it past Matt. 😂

PURE DEDICATION PURE SEROTONIN

Marisha hiding her face from Matt gets me every time 😆

I wonder if Vanessa Carlton knows about Critical Role.

It just continually de-evolves into just a mumble and I love it

Snakintheirway is my absolute favorite 😂 this was just pure happiness

The looks on their faces when they realize they said "making my way"

Sam doing it with anything that rhymes with "making" for that little bit was glorious and I wish he still did it lol

I love that in the middle of all that is just that CADUCEUS part

i didnt remember sams remixes and now i cant stop laughing

Man, I'd freaking love a full cover by Ashley. Her voice is so great!

The comedic timing at 2:03 is literal perfection

I love watching the raw frustration in Matt's face when they do this.

I feel like the critters probably all do it too now.

I love how at the end there's only Marisha laughing at the joke, yet everyone still makes it.

I love how just like Travis screaming "WE PLAY DUNGEONS N DRAGOOONS" in the opening, over time it just slowly devolved to a couple of completely incomprehensible syllables but everyone still knew what was going on.

I love how they devolve from singing full verses to becoming a dialogue box in Animal Crossing.

they need to make the country version in LOVM a full length song cause it legitimately bops

great editing, really fun to watch:)

I love when running gags go so long in a group that it gets shorter and shorter until they’re unintelligible to anyone outside of the group

As much as i love sam focusing as hard as he can to make the most of the "Makinmyway" jokes, i love Taliesin's delivery of the initial line and then waiting for someone to say it and then just saying "Thank you." and continuing what he was going to say lol

i keep having to pause this video every couple of minutes. this brings me so much joy and im not in the best mood rn so thank u for this. i cant imagine how much work this would've been but youve done it so well, everything from the compiling to the editing and transitioning between each person as they "makinmaway" or "teedle loo" its beautiful

I love these but can I just say how much I love Marisha's high pitched laugh? It makes me laugh too lmao

I want a group of friends like this so bad

So Travis is responsible for creating the joke, but Sam is responsible for making it a noise

The series of ones starting at 5:48 got me so good, the way Sam's expression remains totally serious and literally nobody acknowledges it makes it even better!

I loved that in the end, matt pauses after saying it, expecting it 🤣

the way this running joke turned reflex became an actual song in the Vox Machina animated series called Making My Way

I love seeing their friendship. At there age (I’m in my 50’s) usually this kind of stuff is left in their college years. But here they are absolutely crushing it as adults but still keeping the joy of childhood at the forefront of their lives. This is why I love these guys. Pure joy and unapologetic friendship for one another. Thank you CR!!

Thank you for this compilation. You’re doing the lord’s work.

I don't even want to know how long an updated version of this would be now, but I know I would enjoy every second of it!

At some point they'll just say "meh" and it will be just as funny

I swear, in some of those scenes Matt had an expression on his face like “If they start singing that damn song again, there’s going to be a TPK.”

so it was TRAVIS who started it

Can we have Vanessa Carlton on set for one episode at a piano just to do that riff everytime someone says "makin' my way"?

I'm kind of proud of you for doing all this! also, i haven't laughed at the makingmyways in so long, it's been so TENSE! so, thanks! ❤️❤️❤️

Do “IT’S BEEN AWHILE” next :D

Gonna have to add a video of the live version of CR’s original Making my Way song from last night’s watch-along. Truly the cherry on top 😂

I love how it started as just a vocal stim from Travis and is now just the biggest on running joke ever

Matt giving Marisha in trouble with husband eyes is my favourite moment of this lol

It's just an instant Pavlovian response

Love how whenever Ashley say, making my way, she always join whomever repeat it XD

I really genuinely didn't think it was that much. I started doing this with my campaign before I watched C2, and my DM was heavy into CR and I was just so confused but also happy that everyone at the table enjoyed it as much as the CR cast does.

It’s after you released the video but I really love the point in episode 11 of campaign 3 when Taliesin says “I’m just gonna slowly make my way” and then everybody on the table in unison sings “maaaaakiiiin myyyyy waaaaay” very slowly

I watched campaign 2 first and then could not stop singing "making my way" when I watched campaign 1... It was so weird when the cast didn't also do it. This video made me laugh so much, thanks for taking the time to put it all together. My favorite one was Marisha getting in trouble and hiding.. lol.

This is the best supercut. I've said that before. But holy crap I was dying laughing the entire time.
And Sam, right when it starts to feel tired. But then it comes back as a classic. Phenomenal watch experience. 5 🌟

i hope they continue this in campaign lol its almost a tradition and a must 😂

I just started watching CR for ExU (and now C3), but someone recently pointed me to Liam's one-shots, and when that happened, I was like, "Holy shit, was this the birth of MAKINMYWAY?!" Thank you for creating this supercut to confirm my fears/delights.

This compilation is so good, thank you for this. I did love the "Flakin my way" if it is snowing.

The best part of an inside joke is when it devolves from something people actively do and laugh about to something automatic that nobody laughs at because it's just necessary and someone has to do it like a group tic. Then it's in that sweet phase where if you insert someone not in the group, you just look like madmen

I love how it’s changed from singing a part of the song to just that one line

I love that they're *still* doing this through campaign 3.

Love it when Matt joins in lmao

It took an ensable of professional actors playing dnd to do it, but finally someone did it and made a human have every single part of a song stuck in my head at the same time, not just a part of the chorus or something... Everything! The word "making" already triggers a piano intro in my head
