Wouldn't the perception check have spotted the kid?

Depends on your GM. Generally I'd say yes. The one thing that don't work in the original skit is however the vicious mockery, that cannot be a crit, since it's simply a wisdom saving throw, so the bard doesn't have to roll anything. 1d4 on a kid is still probably enough to kill, though.

Nerd corrections aside, it's still one of the best DnD skit I ever seen. Simply hilarious

The bard didn't give the DM the chance to get that far in their narration.

Gotta ride the high of a nat 20, let's go!

LOOT THAT BODY!

The original vid for those who haven't seen it yet
Perception check: Anyone noticed he is actually holding a drumstick instead of a flute on the first watch?

I just noticed they drew Ollie holding the flute wrong in every scene where she's playing it, there's no hole on a flute where her mought is supposedly blowing.

Is this enough for the error tag?

Edit: Seems the correct tag now is artistic_error, thanks.

The original maker says that it's an artistic decision because nat20letsgo sounds better as a beat than whatever the ensuing mechanic is needed to get vicious mockery.

Yeah, at the end of the day, even if incorrect, what's important is the beat and the humor of the video.

It's a bit covered by the cloak, but Kobo's definitely doing the family guy death pose

There are both left and right handed flutes.

There are indeed, but the issue here is that she's using a transverse flute, and like I said before, there's no hole on such a flute at the place where she's shown blowing, i.e. at the end of the tube. Handedness is irrelevant.
