This is a perfect example of how this game, despite being so popular and influential, is still at its core a bunch of friends hanging out and playing games and telling stories together. I'm sure every play group has its own inside jokes and memes to share. Seeing theirs is a special blessing and part of the charm of watching them every week.

My current group is a mix of two groups, with the DM being the common denominator. There are two current running jokes: the Disc of Shame (modified Tenser's Floating Disc, where the shamed party member that week rides being dragged behind the party's transport), and the number 35 (which is a long story involving gaslighting the DM).

ITS BEEN AWHILE!!! XD omfg they never cease to make me lose it laughing like a lunatic in the worst places XD

One of the best running gags of the show IMO

The joke is hilarious, but Matt’s reactions are funnier.

When Matt is the one who did it tho. Iconic

First I was unsure if it might have just been a coincidence, but when I heard them also do the "IT'S BEEN..." variation of this, I knew that they were doing the literal same bit that was a running gag on Comedy Bang Bang a few years ago. At least one of them HAS to be a fan (my guess is Sam). There was also the mnemonic device thing in a campaign 1 episode that was just the same thing as KNIFEGRAB/ORPHANGRAB

2:12 Softest "...beenawherrr..."

Yes ! I was waiting on it

"It's been a while" and "Making my way" Critters favorite songs!

Matt getting ptsd when running jokes keeps coming back.

I just realised that this, much like a certain Leviathan ex-Patron of our favourite warlock, is very much a *Hot Fuzz* level joke. You can't just say it once, it must be repeated. "It's for The Greater Good." _"The Greater Good."_

Thank you for making this. Someone said this phrase on Twitter, so I had to find a compilation to respond. Different fandom, but I hope to have found a critter in the wild. 💖

This song came on the radio in my car and I had to pull over because I was laughing so hard

I feel like this is only 2% of all the times they have said it.

At this point it's like a call line in Rocky Horror. You HAVE TO DO IT.

4:05 best one

Now I will forever notice it as I havent before.

Come on Matt, its been; a bit, a minute, a long time, an age, too long, one week. That last one might have problems on it's own.

2:04 lost it at the soft version

The Zemnian “it’s been a while” is my favorite lmao

At least we have 'sing these phrases' games now, and not 'take a shot when Matt says Proper'

The episode 97 live show had one of my favorites. Liam gave Matt extra warning with a loud "It's been..." 🎶 And Matt just raises one finger with a firm, *"Don't."* Priceless.

It’s a song by the band Staind called It’s Been Awhile. It’s a good song

This makes me happy

I think it is a compulsion for them at this point 🤣 along with making my way and whispers of u'katoaaaaaaa

I watched two vids today where people happened to say "It's been a while", and now this is in my recommended.

Someone: Oh no it’s “U’katoa” “It’s been awhile” since we’ve seen him, he’s “making his way” towards us as “we play dungeons as dragons” My brain: Error 404 My body: **convulsing on the ground**

it will never not make me smile

Christ it's pavlovian at this point

It’s been a while since i watched this video…

It has been a while

It's gotten to the point, after many years of watching (I've seen both campaigns and am only half an episode behind on C3) that I can't help but pause and chuckle/murmur under my breath every single time I say "it's been a while". Every time. My partner huffs at me when I do it over the phone lmao

I was hoping it would end with Avantika saying, "It's been a while". That felt like Matt's revenge for every time they sang it

Makin' their way

I know there was one of these in their Doom Eternal one-shot as well, the person doing the timestamps even marked it specifically lol

I wonder if the guys from Staind know how their song has become a meme in the CR community??

So, I totally expect there to be an original song in season 3 called "It's Been a While" 😅
