Right off the bat you have the names of the characters. Michael's character is called "Mogar Jones," naturally. Gus' character name is "Bor Ealis." Griffon's character name is "Orma." Geoff's character name is "Bo Jingles" and Ryan's name is "Albus Cumberbatch."
A few Running Gags surface very quickly, such as Albus obsessively collecting useless samples, Bo Jingles trying to win Orma's affections, Michael and Gus consistently rolling the same thing to the point where it starts to terrify them and Ryan constantly asking the question "Do they speak Deep?" at the start of every encounter.
Needless to say, the payoff whenever the party actually does encounter someone who speaks Deep is very sweet.
DM Frank will often do his job by describing to the party what they've found and what observations they can make. For the sake of roleplaying, the group will usually then relay what Frank just told them to each other. Word for word.
Frank: So you manage to get the chest out, and quickly realise this is a nice metal chest.
Geoff: This is a really nice chest!
Gus: It's metal!
Gus is sat next to Ryan, allowing him a lot of opportunity to make a lot of hilarious facial reactions to Ryan's more chaotic or evil actions.
The party run into a captive 16 year old girl (the party insists that she is younger) called Sanji in a cave in Episode 6, who joins their party. From that point on, she becomes the most hated member of the party to everyone other than Geoff. While she isn't quite The Load as she never gets in the party's way, she does become The Scrappy due to her lack of contribution to the party's battles and her infatuated cheering on of Bo Jingles, which the other party members find annoying. She's particularly this to Michael who never misses an opportunity to complain about her. It gets to a point where the others frequently ask if Sanji has been brutally killed in the middle of battle.
Another prisoner found in the caves was a much older man named 'Father Dori'. Though it was funny enough that Ryan enthusiastically declared they'd "found Dori," the following jokes about the way the man touched the party when healing them pretty much wrote themselves.
Starting at Episode 10, the group start to wear items of clothing that match their characters. Geoff wears little horns, Ryan wears bracers, etc. Perhaps the best part of this is that Gus wears a coif of chainmail, which affects the way he turns to look at Ryan.
Youtube comment: I like how Gus pivots his entire upper body to look at Ryan. It makes him look like a Muppet.
The group encounter Drow at various points. Frank voices them with Brooklyn accents. Enough said.
The Running Gag that this show has very few viewers.
Frank: "We got our 6th one... a few episode ago."
Episode 1
Ryan rolls a 1 for initiative on their very first battle, which leads to him surmising that while the rest of the party leapt into action to fight the snake that attacked them, Albus didn't notice the threat at all and knelt down to tie his shoelaces.
Ryan uses his Charisma to convince Geoff's character that there's a snake on him, making Bo Jingles run away. Ryan then has to convince him again that he's not in danger ("Just kidding!") to bring him back. In retaliation, Bo Jingles lights Albus' crotch on fire.
Ryan: I'd like to rub my crotch on the tiefling.
Episode 2
Geoff asks if he could give his saving die to the person who's "maybe going to have sex with me tonight." Gus immediately holds out his hand.
The party encounter a wounded mother Tiger early in the episode and a heated debate automatically breaks out over whether they should try to heal it or put it out of it misery with Frank awkwardly caught in the middle.
This:
Ryan:(Rolls for Persuasion) 17 plus 4, 21! I tell you you're stupid and you believe it!
Orma finds a strangely coloured frog and automatically eats it. It causes her to convulse, recover, then pass out. Griffon steps out and Jack abruptly enters and takes over Orma's character.
Gus: Save the tiger but eat the frog!? This is some species bullsh*t!
The party is attacked by a bear. While Michael and Gus wail on it with their swords, Geoff elects to hide in the bushes again and insult it.
Geoff: Hey bear! You've got a small bear dick! You've got a little tiny baby bear dick!
The bear actually manages to do a surprisingly large amount of damage to Michael, knocking him down to a single hit point. Geoff decides to sing a song to Michael to inspire him and raise his morale. Michael responds by throwing up blood.
The manner in which the bear appears is funny in itself. Earlier, the party is just walking along and Bo Jingles decides to play a song for the others. Geoff ad-libs a song about a brown bear, and by astounding coincidence, the brown bear attacks not a minute later.
Episode 3
Early in the episode, everybody gets on Geoff's back for disappearing during the last episode. Geoff insists that he was just looking for survivors. Michael insists that he only did so "allegedly" and asks him if he was looking for secret survivors.
On encountering some bandits attacking a woman, Ryan makes a marvellous attempt at intimidation. Jack, not so much.
Ryan:(As Albus) Stand away from the woman or the dragonborn will eat your souls!
Michael: And I say: "I love souls!"
Jack:(Cheerfully) I go: "Yeah, me too!"
An amusing amalgamation comes about when Frank describes the woman as kicking one of the men while they're distracted. The others assume he means between the legs, but Frank tries to explain he meant between his teeth. Everybody comes to the conclusion that the man's balls are in his mouth.
And she does a whopping seven points of damage from one solid nutshot, prompting a lot of jokes that his balls exploded.
Jack: His voice goes up... (rolls a d20) ...thirteen octaves.
Michael's reaction to rolling the exact same thing as Gus for an initiative roll yet again is really something to see.
Michael: Are you ready, Bor Ealis?
Gus: Let's see how it goes.
They roll the dice
Gus: What is it?
Michael: Seven.
Gus: Seven!
Michael: ARE YOU SERIOUS!?
Everyone:(Laughs)
Michael: HOW!? HOW!!? HOW IS THIS POSSIBLE!?
Gus: Every f*cking time!
Michael: HOOOOWW!?
Gus: It's six plus one!
Michael:(Screaming) I GOT A SIX PLUS ONE!!
Frank:(Relaxed) Wow. This is a little creepy...
Michael: WHAT THE F*CK!! GET OUT OF MY MIND!
Frank: I feel like the universe is being weird and maybe he does have balls between his teeth.
After Mogar severs one of his arms, Bo Jingles drives a bandit to suicide by taunting him about how he'll never jerk off again.
The woman rescued by the party is called Na Lu. When questioning her afterwards, she decides she can trust them because they don't look like they're "from the temple." Michael and Gus (the two paladins) immediately get wide-eyed and Michael tugs on the collar of his shirt nervously.
Frank visibly dying in the the background just sells it.
The party spends the night in a small village, where everybody starts to make moves on each other, complete with sexy music while Frank describes the scene.
Frank:(To Griffon) Two of the male warriors are kind of, like, making moves on you...
What takes the cake is Ryan chatting up the village elder.
Ryan: Now Mila, have you ever known the love of a younger man?
(Everybody bursts out laughing)
Frank (as Mila): I have indeed, sonny. (Sexy music returns) ...Wait. Why do you ask?
Amazingly, Albus' persuasion check rolls high enough to seduce Mila (although she downs a bottle of rice wine first). Cue a lot of sarcastic remarks from the party.
Geoff: She's had 14 kids, so basically you just walk inside her and go to sleep.
Michael: Yeah, you walk inside her hut and realize that wasn't her hut.
Gus: Mila's gonna collect an Albus sample tonight!
(Frank cracking up)
Geoff spends the whole episode having Bo Jingles use his magic to make fart noises behind Bor Ealis while he's talking to people, convincing everyone that Bor Ealis needs to use the latrines. Gus fails to explain that he's being pranked.
Episode 5
The gang open the episode with discussions of the night before at the end of the previous episode. Ryan asks Frank if they earn experience points for having sex, which Frank calls a loaded question. Ryan's bragging of his exploits leads Frank to ask if he can take XP away from him.
Ryan brings up an extra finger that he'd collected from a previous encounter.
Ryan: All I'm going to say is, that extra finger got a little extra action last night.
(Everybody goes silent)
Frank: ...Wooow.
Frank brings up the suggestion of people in the comments that he let the players describe their finishing blow in combat, but he feels like he should just save it for when they get laid. Michael immediately jumps in with "How was your finishing blow?"
Frank describes a series of dreams that the party go through while they sleep. He gets to Bo Jingles, goes off to dress up in a costume and... Just watch.
Gus: Frank, you're awesome.
"You're visited by Pitbull in a dream!"
Ollie.
Michael decides to entertain some kids by having Mogar use his ice breath for their amusement and gets so carried away with his actions that he basically becomes the DM for a minute. He does the whole thing in more or less the same deadpan tone of voice.
Michael: As we're leaving, uh, you know, Mogar, he turns back and sees the longing faces on all the children thinking they're not gonna get what he promised, and then-
Ryan: But he might need what you promised.
Michael: He might need it, but he doesn't care because then, he shoots the most spectacular cold breath into the sky that transforms, uh, the jungle area into a winter wonderland for the children that they've never experienced before. They're running and playing in the snow that slowly falls down and they're rolling around in it, there's snowball fights going on. "This is the greatest day of our lives, Mogar!" they all shout, with glee, and uh, I nod, and, and-
Michael: I'm just explaining-I'm explaining what I see from my perspective.
Michael is indignant after this when Geoff gets a die of inspiration while Mogar didn't for that performance. Frank immediately agrees and gives Michael one as well. Geoff shrugs it off by saying "Anyone can blow cold." Michael gives him a blunt retort.
Many jokes are also made about Mogar wasting his cold breath on this with sarcastic predictions that the party are probably going to die because he doesn't have it.
Initiative has been rolled and battle begins.
Frank: "Bo Jingles, you're the first to react."
Geoff: "Okay... alright, so what just happened?"
Episode 6
Much to the annoyance of the rest of the party, Sanji is enamoured with Bo Jingles' rather average skills with a rapier, disregarding the efforts of the rest of the party in the process. Ryan makes a fair case in Bo Jingle's defence.
Albus: He's had years of practice with his friend 'Gavinus of Yore'. He pokes that dude's ass all the time.
Episode 8
This exchange, as the party debates how to free Mogar from the gelatinous cube:
Geoff: What if we tied an arrow to a rope and shot that into the cube?
Gus: What if we tied it to a kenku and threw that into the cube?
The party encounters some Drow and slaughters three of them. The fourth drops to his knees and prays to his goddess - in Deep speech. Ryan's face lights up like Christmas.
Frank: He's praying to his patron deity, the goddess Lolth, who's like a spider goddess-
Gus: A false god, I wanna point out.
Frank: Well, not to him. But anyway, he's praying that she will intervene and catch him up in her holy web-
Gus constantly snarking that they should all cluster together so that the drow can kill them faster.
The fact that people pouring out of the (illusionary) wall is likened to everyone leaving a clown car.
Episode 11
The episode opens with the party interrogating a dying enemy Drow. Ryan and Jeremy are the interrogators. The Drow begs for water and Jeremy invents a new meaning for the word "hydration".
"While you're interrogating him, I'm taking his shoes."
Michael describes it as "No cop, bad cop."
Albus: Anyone else got any good questions for the soon to be... (whispers) Let's be honest, he's gonna die.
Jeremy: Alright, I come up to the guy on the ground, and I'm going to hydrate him with my maul.
Ryan: Wait, before you do it... (Ryan mimes drinking the water right in front of the Drow)
Drow:(Confused) Wait. Wha...? Oh, I guess you're just checking to make sure it ain't poisoned, right?
Albus: Oh, it's real good. It's real good.
Drow: Can I have some now?
Ryan: Hydrate him, Jeremy.
The Drow references the "annual 48 hour slave-a-thon," prompting a lot of used-car jokes from the guys about how the Drow are moving 2016 slaves off the lot before tax season so they can make room for the 2017 slaves.
Mogar kills a rest period by masturbating in a corner. In front of his whole party. Loudly. Orma is quick to question if this is something the paladin should be doing.
Episode 12
This exchange with Geoff, who strums his lute with every sentence:
Frank: 8 points on that guy...
Geoff (singing): And that (strums) kills him!
Frank: He's still up.
Geoff (singing): He's (strums) dead!
Frank: Barely, but-
Geoff (singing): You're (strums) wrong!
Frank:(Laughs)
Geoff (singing): Look (strums) again!
Frank:(Looks again) Nope! He's still up!
Not long afterwards, Geoff is hit by a powerful fire attack that does so much damage that the leftover negative damage exceeds his total health, which results in an instant kill to any party member hit with an attack like this. Cue Frank looking at all of the rules in a silent panic in an effort to legally keep Bo Jingles alive. This eventually results in him realising that Geoff has resistance to fire because he's a Tiefling. Geoff was very vocal about how pleased he was to have this trait.
Michael: Look at Frank desperately trying to find a way to keep you alive and he can't find it!
(A little later)
Geoff: Frank just rolled away his job.
Frank:(snaps fingers) You have fire resistance.
Geoff: I HAVE FIRE RESISTANCE YOU'RE RIGHT!!
Episode 13
The episode opens with the party in the process of freeing slaves. Emphasis on 'process'. Albus is overly suspicious and tries to argue that the party should hold back and check to see if the slaves are trustworthy before freeing them. Lawful Good Bor Ealis gets extremely frustrated at this, turning the whole thing into a sarcastic interrogation of Albus. Frank is in tears of laughter.
Ryan: Well now you're...
Gus: NO NO NO NO NO! LET'S TALK ALBUS! You wanted to do this! Let's stop doing ANYTHING and let's just talk!
Ryan:(Casually) I'm pretty good, actually. I was mostly dead earlier, but now I think I'm doing better...
Geoff slut-shaming Orma continues.
Geoff: Orma's freeing them from their clothes.
The gang joke about using Charisma to investigate a chest for traps, with lines like "You'd tell me if you were a trap, right?" and "Just let me open you up" being delivered in a seductive tone by Ryan and Geoff.
Alison: I'm having like, flashbacks, right now. It's really weird.
Episode 14
The sheer amount of talking that goes on in the middle of what's supposed to be a fight scene leads Michael to remark that their campaign looks more like Dragon Ball Z than The Lord of the Rings.
During one lengthy fight, a ghost makes a drow age 30 years. Michael snarks that she's now old enough for Albus to bang.
Episode 15
The episode opens with the interrogation of two Drow. Gus gives Ryan a fantasticDisapproving Look in response to his method of finding out how many more Drow are left.
Albus: Here. How about this? You and your friend hold up your fingers. I'm gonna start cutting them off. When we get to the right number, say "stop".
Drow: Uhh, wai- Can we... Can we discuss this?
When the question is raised as to how to deal with the prisoners, the Drow insist the party can just set them free. Albus dismisses the notion off-hand since they're slavers. The Drow assure them that they won't take the party as slaves. Bor Ealis sarcastically expresses his relief.
Gus is torn about how to deal with the prisoners, really wishing that they hadn't given up. He can't execute them, but he can't just let them go free as they're evil and tying them up would be as good as leaving them for dead. Ryan offers him the "compromise" of letting them go, but having Orma break their knees. Gus is vocally against that.
The argument of what to do with them becomes a debate of how worthwhile it is to kill lesser evils in cold blood. Albus makes a show of how easy it is by casting Eldritch Blast in the middle of the argument to kill one of the Drow and show how easy it is. As Michael puts it: "WE DIDN'T SAY IT WAS HARD!"
The resolution to the whole thing. Ryan's not sure if he wants to let the remaining Drow live, but Geoff points out that leaving one alive will give the other Drow a living witness of their reputation. Ryan points out that said reputation will be one of them getting things done while the rest bicker about it. Alison enthusiastically argues that this unpredictability will make them scarier.
The group comes across a large stalagmite with holes in it. The first thing Geoff asks is if they are "dick-sized holes". Frank tells him they're bigger than that and Geoff mutters "Depends who you're talking about, I guess." Alison breaks down laughing.
Geoff: Bor Ealis takes one look and goes "These are bigger than dick holes."
Gus makes a face when Ryan tells him his character has small petite hands to go with his tiny frame.
Eventually, Geoff decides to stick his rapier in the hole. This kicks off with him saying he's going to "rape-y in" and Ryan hastily telling him to "Don't say that," followed by Alison pointing out that Geoff technically didn't ask permission before sticking his long pointed object in the hole. Geoff decides to keep going with the "rape-y in" thing.
It seems that there's something living inside the hole, leading to speculation from the party on how to handle it.
Ryan: Well he's already circumcised it; we might as well befriend it.
Geoff: I say we- (cuts off)
Michael:(wheezes with laughter)
The party come across a group of fungus creatures that don't communicate with words, but through sensations. The result is that their names are just Frank making popping, blowing and gibberish noises with his mouth, which everybody needs to imitate whenever trying to reference them.
The party discover that Navarro, one of their NPC companions, has been infected with worms multiplying throughout the inside of his body.
Geoff: I say "Goodnight sweet prince" and I slit his throat and set his body on fire.
A small tentacle-like creature bursts out of Navarro's body.
Geoff admits it - he wants people to draw fanart of Bo Jingles with Sanji literally strapped to his back.
Episode 17
Watch carefully when Ryan's character and alignment pop up on screen. Frank's comment about Albus being a bit more evil stuck - he's gone from Chaotic Neutral to Neutral Evil!
Griffon spills some of her drink onto her character sheet.
Michael: "The confusion of Orma continues!"
Gus: "It'd be great if someone different walks back with that character sheet!"
Episode 19
Gus and Geoff's idea of "the signal" Father Dori is giving and their "countersign".
"TV is not camera"
They try to decide on a plan, with the possibility of gang wars, buyers and checking out a casino on the table. The plans get more and more ludicrous until Gus finally reigns them back in.
Ryan then gets confused about whether the stakeout is just that or will lead to Stage 1 of the plan, mainly because Stage 1 will require some prep.
Geoff/Bo: "Have you ever been to a casino? Tons of clothes stores."
Ryan/Albus: "We're trying to be fancy buyers! Dumbass!"
After some faffing around, Michael loses his cool and lives up to his Rage Quit persona. Ryan later joins in and argues back.
The hilarity of this moment cannot be understated. Michael's raging is by far the biggest highlight of the episode and one of the biggest highlights in the entire series. The plan had a few simple steps: They'd split into two groups and buy fancy clothes. Then they'd arrive at the casino at different times and infiltrate the auction. After finding what they were looking for, they'd bid against each other before ambushing the guards and running off with their informant. Of all the steps for them to screw up, the plan fell apart at buying fancy clothes. Michael's team went into the shop first and ordered clothes to be made for them. Ryan's team then went into the same shop and tried to do the same thing, but due to the clothes already being made for the other group, it would have taken more time for those clothes to be finished. Rather than wait an extra 3 hours, they decided to look for another store and bought passage to the financial district, spending an entire hour in total travelling there and back while having to wait almost as long for their clothes. Michael lost patience with them at this point and picked apart their plan while Gus and Ryan argued back. Michael promptly exploded, resulting in a massive shouting match between the three of them, with everyone in the room laughing their heads off the entire time.
Later in the episode, Ryan takes a moment to loudly make fun of the other group for holding up the story to complain about them. Michael teases them back by mocking them for the exact same thing. Ryan promptly explodes, resulting in one particular shot of Ryan banging the table in an exaggerated display of rage, Michael on his feet shouting back at him, Geoff trying to bury his head in the table in front of him, Gus and Frank holding themselves in laughter and Griffon sitting calmly with her hands clasped beneath her chin.
The total insanity from the group splitting up and going to two different clothing stores. Just the sheer absurdity of watching hardened adventurers struggling to coordinate simple errands.
Mogar's absurd weapon loadout impresses the guards at the casino.
Frank (as guard): You guys just don't cause no trouble inside the casino.
Geoff/Bo: And you guys don't cause no more double negatives.
Michael: That means cause trouble! We have permission!
Episode 20
The entire 'Truth Room' fiasco.
Ryan getting his ham on for the Duke Royal.
Episode 21
Jack's first appearance as the "Ad Goblin".
After two months of waiting to see what would happen after the season 1 finale revealed that Team A's disguise was blown, we finally get to see how they respond. Ryan/Albus drops his "Duke of Landarith" persona... only to immediately adopt an entirely new persona with an accent somewhere between Cockney and Australian and claims that he and his party are war criminals from another country. He introduces Griffon/Orma as "Ghostface Killah" (mentioning that simply using her in battle is a war crime in itself), and Gus/Bor Ealis as "Old Dirty Bastard". All the while, thuggish gangster-sounding music is playing in the background and Michael is staring directly into the camera with an incredulous look like he's in The Office.
Gus provides the icing on this absurd cake by wearing a mask that is a paper cutout of his own scowling face as a way of supporting Ryan's intimidation.
As the gang divvies up the treasure, Michael sarcastically comments on the fact that Bor Ealis would rather hand over the gold to Cork than Albus.
Gus: I'm a racist, but I would rather be in the company of an inferior race than an evil bastard.
At the big auction, Geoff/Bo Jingles decides to use his "Thaumaturgy" cantrip to make the auctioneer appear to fart on stage for a full minute. He does this for no other reason than to make himself laugh.
Geoff: "I'm forty-one years old."
At the same auction, Mogar and Bo Jingles have a lengthy conversation with a thoroughly consternated Na about the benefits of Rescue Sex.
Na: "Were you expecting me to have sex with you after you saved me?"
Michael/Mogar: "You could have offered."
Na: "Well, what about all the times I punched those bandits in the groin and saved you guys?"
Geoff/Bo Jingles: "You're touching everybody's groins but ours!"
Meanwhile the other team is silently observing this with disdain - in Gus' case, using the cutout of his own face.
Ryan: "This conversation is like, lifted directly from the diary of Bill Cosby."
Geoff: "Coming from the guy who banged a septagenarian first chance he got!"
Then they say that it's responsible for Mogar's earlier masturbation moment.
Na: "I didn't know dragonborn were capable of such feelings and... noise."
Episode 22
After defeating Rakka, he begins to give a dramatic death speech. During this speech, Bo Jingles casts Thaumaturgy to make loud fart noises again. Then, Geoff FAILS the magic surge roll, making Bo Jingles have to SHOUT everything he says for one minute. So, Rakka's dramatic death speech is completely drowned out by sounds of farts and shouting.
Bo Jingles gives his first song of the new season.
Geoff/Bo:(directed to Albus/Ryan, plucks a single string) "You're a prick."
Albus reveals that he stole a gem from the Dwarf salesman from several episodes ago without anyone knowing. The group proceeds to argue about this for several minutes.
Immediately following that, it's revealed Bo Jingles started a fire in the casino. When pressed for answers, Bo reveals that every time he leaves the group for a few minutes, he's off setting a fire to cover their tracks. Regardless of where they are.
Better still is the fact they somewhat gloss over this fact and go back to yelling at Albus for stealing the diamond.
And when they're trying to determine whether he's telling the truth about the fire.
Gus:(hearing they need Insight) "I have that; but I don't care."
The situation with the signaculum. When they confront Tyvo about it, he flat out tries to deny that it's his, despite it having his name on it and being in his safehouse, to the utter disbelief of the group. He goes on like that until Bor Ealis intimidates the truth out of him. Then this happens:
Frank: "'Okay, okay. (sighs) Alright. The truth is...' and then he punches you. Roll initiative."
Episode 23
The party spend a good deal of the episode winding Albus up about being 'untrustworthy'.
While the others are asleep, Bo Jingles talks with the Spymaster about drow and the underdark. When the Spymaster talks about some of the creatures potentially knowing Deep, Ryan gives a silent celebration and mouths "They speak Deep!"
Episode 24
The incredibly poor first impression the party makes when they meet the Green Alchemist. Orma starts blatantly flirting with the Alchemist, and a jealous Geoff/Bo Jingles once again casts thaumaturgy to make it appear she is farting, unintentionally setting off a chain reaction of ridiculous and unfortunate events. Geoff fails the magic surge roll again, causing him to involuntarily perform an attack that drains 5 HP from everyone nearby... including the Green Alchemist, who retaliates with a spell set to automatically go off in the event that he's attacked. But he wasn't the only one with such a failsafe, and a second later, Bo Jingles' pants appear to fall down, revealing a "tiny penis". This was a silent image spell that Ryan/Albus had pre-prepared in the event that Bo Jingles tried any more fart-related thaumaturgy. Ryan's hasty negotiation is the only reason the Green Alchemist didn't destroy them all (or at the very least Bo Jingles) after such a display.
Bo Jingles: "I-I just got out of the pool. It was cold!" Green Alchemist: "HOW DARE YOU ATTACK ME!?" Albus: Whoa whoa whoa whoa, I am so sorry about him (gestures to Bo Jingles). He's compensating. Clearly.
Bor Ealis is very... willing to lay hands on the Green Alchemist.
"Listen - someone has to do something, and I am willing to go the extra mile for this party! If that means I have to touch a dick? So be it! Put the dick in my hand!"
When Orma gets mad about what just happened and confronts Bo Jingles, how does Ryan react? By getting a doughnut and then eating it while watching with a massive grin on his face.
Orma ends up throwing Bo Jingles across the room, but Geoff rolls a 20 on his Dexterity saving throw, resulting in a graceful flip and a smooth landing. Bo Jingles bows to Orma and says "M'lady" in response. Michael remarks that even he hates Bo Jingles for that.
The Green Alchemist's servant both cheerfully and flippantly offers to let Bor Ealis try out an experimental unfinished device that could serve as a new form of transportation and a weapon in the future, adding that a creature of his "squishiness" will most likely die if they try to use the device in its current state.
The entirety of the madness involving the Green Alchemist is best summed up by the NPC Alazar when they leave. Bonus points for having the normally-relaxed Frank Suddenly Shouting
Alazar: "WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU?!"
The Ad Goblin's son, Ad Goblin Jr. Played by Jeremy Dooley, who portrays him as a moody teenager.
The cultists speak Infernal and Geoff enters into a period of Ryan-esque questioning each time they speak to find out whether they are speaking Infernal because Bo Jingles is fluent in it too.
A cultist barks orders to "Kill the unbelievers!" to which Gus argues that they do believe in stuff, just not the same stuff.
Na's getting stabbed by cultists, Cork kills one in retribution. What does Michael say as a Bond One-Liner? "Hell Na."
There's something endearingly funny about the party immediately catching on again when they see Orma taking an interest in some convenient nearby alcohol and passing out after drinking it. The sheer amount of quips that are exchanged after Griffon switches with Bethany are funny in themselves. Also funny is how she quickly adheres to the consistant Orma policy of "Don't trustBo Jingles"
Geoff: You're an alcoholic drug addict.
Bethany: I wouldn't say that.
Geoff: Everybody else would.
Gus: You don't have to.
Michael: Exactly.
Ryan: You're currently high.
Ad Goblin Jr. steals Ryan's ferret during the first ad read. Before leaving the set, Ryan hits his head with a sword.
Frank: "That was a critical hit!" Gus: "You could have just threatened him; how're we going to explain this to Ad Goblin Senior?"
After Bo Jingles is grabbed unexpectedly from behind on the back of the neck, we get this:
Frank: And then you hear a voice behind you say: (Raspy voice) "Give in... Give in to my thrall..."
Bethany!Orma: ...It's not me.
Episode 26:
When the party are dividing up loot, the party each receive gems worth a lot of gold. Orma decides to give her gem to Na in recognition of her skills that finished off one of the bone naga. In turn, Albus generously gives his gem to Cork. Finally, Mogar - moved by Orma's generosity - gives his gem to her. Bor Ealis gives his gem to himself.
The group's discussion of whether they should leave the tiefling they find with the children, something Bo Jingles is adamantly against. Several of the others point out that his argument essentially revolves around the fact that Bo Jingles is horrible, and that this guy is also a tiefling.
Geoff: I'm a tiefling, and I don't have "dark urges"!
Gus:Which of us burned down a casino? Raise your hand here if you've burned down a casino.
Geoff: Okay, okay, consider this: fair point!
Michael: So what I'm hearing here is that this guy is Bo Jingles plus one.
Geoff: We're putting a priest with two kids in a locked cage! If this were Ireland, we'd be going straight to hell right now!
"Even a broken clock is a pedophile twice a day." "As the saying goes."
"It takes two to glory hole."
Ryan presses the party on whether they're talking or progressing through the dungeon at the moment. The following discussion is just one long mockery of the Talking Is a Free Action trope as everyone jokes about stabbing enemies while asking them which one is the boss. It goes into self-deprecating jokes about both The Lord of the Rings and themselves.
Michael: There was this deleted scene from the first one where they had this whole, like, clothing debacle.
As the party ascend the staircase at last, the players establish where everybody is positioned. Just this entire exchange:
Gus: You really want to be in front, Bo Jingles?
Geoff: Everytime I do, I die.
Michael: He's always in front! He runs out and dies!
Geoff: Maybe you should pick up on the hint.
Michael: Why do you do that?
Geoff: Why do you keep PICKING ME BACK UP!?
Ryan: ...That's not a bad point.
After yet another failed wild magic throw by Ryan:
Geoff: (Under his breath) Dick falls off, dick falls off, dick falls off...
Frank: You... grow six inches!
Ryan: Forever?
Gus: In the penis?
Griffon: Orma is suddenly interested.
The party attempts to use the same "illusory wall" trick they used in episode 10, this time to ambush a wraith, using Bor Ealis as bait. As they lie in wait, Gus and Ryan exchange a look and go "I think we just had the same thought." Sure enough, Ryan's sprite reports that the wraith disappeared through a wall and that's when it's confirmed Ryan and Gus both remembered the fact that wraiths can do that. The entire party adapts to this knowledge by all moving around the corner, with Ryan even miming like he's carrying the entire illusory wall with him. Fortunately, the ambush goes off without a hitch, and works so well that it actually manages to save Bor Ealis from potentially getting Killed Off for Real.
When Frank points out at one point that the Non Player Characters (Na, Father Dori and Cork) are all huddled together aside from the party having a discussion while looking confused, Geoff shouts "They're plotting against us! Kill them!"
This leads to Michael and Geoff theorising that the real plot of Heroes and Halfwits is the story of those four characters and the players will turn out to be the NPCs.
Gus: We were the bad guys the whole time!
Griffon: That's not going to come as a surprise.
Gus: Not for some of us... (subtly nods head at Ryan)
At one point during the battle in the first half of the episode, Griffon mishears Frank saying that Na "is flanking with Orma" as "is stronger than Orma". This leads to a bunch of jokes that Orma becomes insecure about Na's skills and starts suggesting that the party cut Na loose.
After the party travels through time, the episode ends with Bo Jingles starting a fight with the first person they meet by asking if she's his mom, forcing Albus to once again play damage control. He eventually satisfies the woman's honor by casting an illusion to make it appear as though he cut off Bo's thumb and forced him to eat it as penance. As she walks away, Bo gives her two thumbs up. Frank points out how fortunate it is that she doesn't see it.
The icing on the cake is Michael, who briefly stepped away and returns in the middle of the confrontation:
Michael: "Who the fuck is he stabbing?!"
It's worth elaborating that every single time the party came close to placating her, Geoff would have Bo call out something like "Momma, please no!" or "Am I still welcome at Christmas?" which would immediately reignite her fury. This happened multiple times and the double thumbs up was the only time his antics didn't work and even then it was largely thanks to Gus having hit her very hard on the head. By that point, the party were seriously discussing knocking Bo out before going further into town.
At one point, Bo looks like he's going to stab this woman for pulling a dagger on him. Geoff tries to argue that he "has no choice". The mocking that followed was hilarious.
During Frank's travelling through time narration the camera focuses on Michael who is (mostly) silently miming a load of actions and reactions to that narration.
Bor's "intervention" for Orma. Gus pretends to read out a sheet in a near-monotone voice about how much he misses the old Orma, while the rest of the gang chime in with a number of funny intervention cliches. It's the way they say it that makes it so fun.
The party gets to know Akshay, the homeless old drunk they rescued from fiends in the previous episode, a little better.
Akshay: You like the cut of my jib, right? Eyyyy, it's Akshay!
Entire party breaks down laughing.
Gus: Oh no, he has a Catchphrase now! We're never going to get rid of him!
Come Volume 2, Gus is not wrong.
During a battle against some fiends, the party notice a shadowy figure in a mask standing aside in an ally making arcane gestures. When they start towards him, the masked man tries to run away. Mogar ends up killing him via decapitation without learning anything about him or asking any questions first. This leads everyone to joke that he wasn't a bad guy at all.
Gus: (After a check for weapons turned up nothing) His only weapon was his years of philanthropy and compassion for the orphanage.
Michael: Well, you know. Don't be wearin' a hood smokin' cigarettes runnin' away while demons are gettin' summoned.
Episode 29:
While attempting to put a put a plan in motion that will send them back to Jackalheart, the party must figure out what to do with Akshay. They attempt to "set him up" financially, which quickly spirals into hilarity as Geoff and Gus keep giving him absurd amounts of money and art with the hopes he can make it as an art dealer. Soon, what started as a simple act of charity turns into a full-blown intervention. What makes the whole thing so amusing is the fact that Geoff and Gus have completely fallen in love with Akshay after realizing they're not so different, Ryan tries to make sure their good deed isn't wasted by hammering in how important it is for Akshay to do something with his life, and Michael and Griffon (whose characters are addicts themselves at this point) just want to leave the man to his vices. Orma even gives him some of her bimba.
Albus: Akshay, please... we're leaving you with just a real random assortment of junk...
Gus: (laughing) The stuff we don't want to be bothered to sell.
Albus: ...When we're gone, that's all you're gonna have to live off of, okay? Please, try your best to turn your life around a little! Y'know, keep that Akshay flare, but temper it a little, okay? Please, buddy! Can you do that for us?
When the party executes their plan to have Bo Jingles and Bor Ealis sneak under the stage that the mayor will make his speech on the next morning, Mogar and Orma decide to stage a fake fight to distract the fiends guarding it. One of the fiends off-handedly mentions that there are vices on his plane of existence that mere mortals cannot comprehend, and suddenly Orma has forgotten all about her "fight" with Mogar in favour of finding out more about these new vices and how she can get some.
Ad Goblin Jr.'s first entrance.
Frank: Okay Orma, go ahead and roll your dice.
(Cut to Ad Goblin Jr. sitting in Orma's place, half-heartedly throws dice before starting the ad read.)
And during his second ad read (for MVMT Watches):
Ad Goblin Jr.: (all in the same dull voice) "... I absolutely love the watch they sent me, but I forgot it." (everyone laughs)
Episode 30:
The group splits the party again. Shenanigans ensue. Bor Ealis and Bo Jingles are hiding under the stage where the mayor they're going to assassinate is going to make his speech, Albus is keeping an eye on the stage from afar, Mogar is leading a pair of the constable's deputies up to the party's rented room only to find the tiefling woman Bo thought was his mother had broken in, and Orma is being led away by the constable for questioning as the two start fighting.
Mogar, in pursuit of her (who had jumped out the window and was being accosted by his Celestial Steed dog), jumps out of the group's FIFTH STORY window in attempt to mount his dog. He bungles his athletics roll and smashes both his genitals and his dog, completely draining its HP and causing it to vanish back to the Celestial Realm.
Orma and the constable are only several feet away when all this happens.
Orma: What did your deputies do to my friend?!
Constable: What?
Orma: They obviously threw him out of a window! I thought you said this was a good town and you had it under control. This is why we have to take matters into our own hands!
Constable: Wait, wait, let's go over there and see what's going on...
Orma: I saw what I saw, man.
Constable: W-wait, there was a dog fighting somebody else over there...
Orma: I don't see a dog.
Two fiends are examining the stage where Bo and Bor are hiding, and the painted figure of one of them Geoff keeps asking to be turned away from him because it's freaking him out. Eventually he dubs it 'Death Elmo'.
Meanwhile, Bor Ealis and Bo Jingles are just lying under the stage holding hands during all of this.
The very end of the episode. With three words Bo Jingles single-handedly ruins the party's carefully laid plan to assassinate Mayor Drumpf.
Bo Jingles:KILL THE MAYOR!
This exchange shortly afterwards:
Ryan: You... are literally the dumbest human...
Geoff: I'm not a human; I'm a tiefling.
Ryan: I'm not talking about the character.
Geoff:(Bursts out laughing)
Episode 31:
When Ryan is asked whether the effect of a spell he just cast would have the affected character moving immediately or on his next turn:
Ryan: "That sounds like a DM problem."
During conversation Michael references the Ad Goblin. Not even 30 seconds later...
Ad Goblin Jr.:(in his usual dull tone) "Whoooaaa."
Michael: "We summoned him!"
Episode 32:
Due to his familiar temporarily being killed, Albus goes even more insane than normal. Michael is quick to point out that he essentially acts like Caboose.
Despite constantly disparaging Father Dori for his alleged pedophilia, Bor Ealis has a very...direct manner of obtaining clothes to pose as a child from a group of imprisoned kids they just rescued.
Bor Ealis:Take off your clothes!
The pedophilia allegations against his Non Player Characters seem to annoy Frank, who repeatedly asserts that this is not the case. Geoff suggests that Frank should instead make a character that is clearly a pedophile, so that the group has someone to target with their insults. His suggestion of a name for this character? Father Kid-Dick!
In general, the group's interactions with the group of kids are both hilarious and horrifying. Frank theorizes that they may have scarred the kids for life.
As soon as the group is reunited with the Green Alchemist, Orma starts to get her flirt on again. She starts off with a hug, and then asks if she can call him something less formal than "the Green Alchemist" - which leads to Frank actually having to look up the character's name.
Albus: Yeah, in your dreams. His friends probably call him the Jolly Green Giant.
Mogar: There is a lot of projecting going on here.
This segways immediately into a joke about rolling percentage die to determine a character's dick size.
And THAT segways into Frank pointing out that as a transmutationist, the Green Alchemist can alter himself to appear however he likes. To that, Gus says "So he can't be in the military?"
Orma and the Green Alchemist get a lot of ribbing from the crew. When he comes up with an alchemical ritual to give her four arms, the first thought that crosses Gus' mind is that he has four dicks and needs some synchronized lovin'.
Bo Jingles: It's like a Voltron of cock.
Episode 33:
Michael and Geoff display a surprising knowledge of Taylor Swift, much to Allison's confusion.
Geoff's character gets hold of a lute equipped with magical spells. While looking these up Geoff starts giggling gleefully to himself and the others are all immediately concerned.
Just hearing Allison saying this in her fairly sweet voice.
"You get all of her herpes."
The entire process they go through to get Allison-Orma to carry a dead body.
A description of a montage at the start includes (for some reason) spaghetti and sauce being drowned in. For whatever reason, Frank takes this and runs with it, acting as if the room they're in is full of plates of spaghetti and meatballs.
Just this quick exchange near the start of the episode:
Frank: So, the Green Alchemist tells you that, um...
The big reveal that Bo Jingles is secretly a traitor. Of course, as the rest of the party points out, his Heel–Face Turn makes no sense at all, seeing he's spent the entire game helping the party and only chose to reveal his secret when it was certain to get him killed. Truly, Bo Jingles died as he lived: being a massive dick and ultimately screwing himself over.
Bo Jingles: Albus... I always hated you the most. Bleagh.
Ryan: For one final time, in homage to him... I cast Silent Image and make his pants fall down, revealing a tiny penis.
Episode 35:
When Michael mentions that Mogar is 'off-white', Griffon asks if maybe the dragonborn is just a little dirty and would he come up a brilliant shiny white if they just gave him a good scrub? Michael says maybe.
Following a ReTool, everyone is playing slightly different characters, including variations in race, class, etc. However, Geoff is revealed to be playing an entirely new character, and guess what? EYYYY, it's Akshay! The party's reactions to this are priceless.
The lead-up to the reveal is also worth mention, as the group had been taking wagers on what had happened to Akshay during the Timeskip. Ryan won due to betting that Akshay had moved up in the world, but was NOT happy about it.
Then there's Michael's rant to Gus, as the latter tries to hide under his handbook.
Michael: "Look at what you did!"
Asking Akshay about the note.
Akshay: "... will you answer the call, circle yes, no or maybe. I'd like to answer the call, I'd like to circle yes."
Bor: "How will he know what you circle?"
Akshay: "Err, it, err, also says in parenthesis 'Please bring note back'."
(laughter)
Frank has an NPC almost say that his wife would be 'over the moon' to meet the crew, before realising halfway through the saying that the Outlands has no moon so quickly replaces it with 'over the hill', to which the group laughs. They eventually settle on 'over the spire'.
During a fight, Albus casts a fog cloud. However, it's quickly revealed that it screws over the party more than their enemies, and he sheepishly dispels it.
Season 4:
Ryan is now playing a character with low charisma. However, he is still trying to talk his way out of encounters and making charisma checks to routinely poor results.
The group often tends to moonwalk out of situations.
Episode 41
Ryan and Gus' characters decide to ditch school during a fire drill. They casually walk away from the assembled group... backwards (so they look like they're headed back to school).
Geoff's spider costume - he just stuck a load of googly eyes to his face.
The Ad-stronaut has a horn now. He tells the group that it 'grew' in, which leads to a talk around the table about the Ad Goblins and whether their horns had been real too. Michael also feels to need to inform the viewers that, yup, the Ad Goblins are definitely dead in this time period.
Tiberius came back to the lab with the others to take back something of his that had been stolen: his balls.
Last episode's escapade catches up with the group, as the police show up looking for the stolen guns. Rand and Thimbledick claim they can't prove anything... Smash Cut to Rand, Kneebone and Thimbledick in jail.
Episode 47
Frank-as-NPC introduces 'Slayed Wyoming' to the class as a special guest to their graduation... and "Slayed"/Geoff immediately gets stuck in the curtain trying to find the opening to get to the table.
