History Recap / CommunityS5E10AdvancedAdvancedDungeonsAndDragons

* IncestSubtext[=/=]RelationshipWritingFumble: In-universe; since the characters were originally intended for Hank and Hickey it presumably wasn't intended, but when the Dean got the role of Joseph Gordon Diehard and Jeff got the role of his father Riggs, the Dean's interpretation of Joseph quickly added what appears to be a one-way crush to the characters.

* BiggusDickus: Hector the Well-Endowed returns, and Annie is once again stuck with playing him.

* PerpSweating: Hickey, an ex-cop realizes that he can capture a couple of hobgoblins and interrogate them, just as he would a couple of suspects. It works ''beautifully''.

* PerpSweating: Hickey, an ex-cop does this to two captured hobgoblins.

* TortureTechnician: Hickey proves disturbingly competent at psychological torture after Annie and Jeff manage to capture a pair of {{Mooks}}.

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Subverted. Hickey stops wantonly killing hobgoblins when he discovers they can speak... not because he's having a crisis of conscience, but because he realises he can torture them for information instead.

* RealityEnsues:
** Invoked by Abed in his D&D game. He pointed out to Hickey that punching a hobgoblin in the heart wouldn't work out since his character was so small, and that the Necromancer would obviously escape if the two parties spent so much time loudly fighting each other over who got to kill him right in front of his castle.
** Hickey and Hank's issues clearly aren't resolved just after playing one game of ''Dungeons and Dragons'' with each other, but it is implied that they've begun sharing one mutual interest at least.

* NotSoDifferent: Both Hickey and Hank are clearly incredibly competitive, which is part of the root of their conflict; the scene before both groups reunite involves both persuading the other members of their teams to fight each other rather than cooperate.

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar:
** The Dean stroking his sword, thinking of Jeff.
** The scene where Hector the Well-Endowed "sprays all over them" while swaying her hips and making it seem like she's holding [[GagPenis a ridiculously large...you know]].
*** (Making uppercut motion) "I SHOVE IT UP THEM!!"

* ArmorPiercingResponse: Abed doesn't take Hickey's criticism of his [=DMing=] laying down, snapping back at him twice.

*** "Sir Riggs Diehard" is named for Martin Riggs of the ''Franchise/LethalWeapon'' movies.

* BiggusDickus: Hector the Well-Endowed.

*** Annie once again plays Hector the Well-Endowed after the group winds up with the wrong character sheets.

** The way that the Dean 'impales' himself is hilariously similar to Shinzon's death in ''StarTrekNemesis.'' Bonus points for both characters being bald and having weird pseudo-daddy issues with the character who kills them.

[[caption-width-right:300:I am Joseph Gordon Diehard and I am only here to hug my father (which I now do).]]

* GagPenis: Annie is once again Hector the Well-Endowed.

** Hank, being a seasoned D&D player, knows how to play the game quite well as he healed his comrades soon after the bridge collapsed (something Hickey failed to do). He also knew that the Sky Spiders were simply misunderstood and had them help him in his quest; and also realizes immediately that the game is a trick to get him and his father to bond (especially since their characters are father & son), and has the group switch characters.

* RocksFallEverybodyDies: Abed ends a game of Dungeons and Dragons Tea Party Edition with Annie's stuffed toys by having them all brutally assassinated.

---> '''Abed:''' Have you ever been a 3-foot-tall halfling running through trying to punch a 7-foot monster? I'm gonna go check on the others. You might want to check your character, or just kind of generally take this game seriously. Your son does.

-->'''Hank:''' Guys, I don't suppose this is some kind of contrived paint-by-numbers adventure that's designed to force an emotional bond between me and my emotionally-stunted father, is it?\\

* NeverSplitTheParty: Averted, since Abed splits the party within minutes of starting the game by adhering strictly to the rules. And just after Jeff not-so-subtly pointed out to him that this was supposed to be about reconciling Hickey and his son, not indulging in his DM-ing quirks. Ironically, this approach arguably works to help Hickey and Hank's relationship more than the original one would have; Hank immediately pegs the original reason behind the game and openly rejects it, but splitting the groups enables both Hickey to develop an interest in the game and for both men, as Jeff points out, to discover a way of being able to be in the same room without having to 'be' in the same room.

* ArmorPiercingResponse: Abed doesn't take Hickey's criticism of his DMing laying down, snapping back at him twice.
