Penny Arcade Dungeons and Dragons Podcast: Difference between revisions

* [[Base On Wheels]]: The Darkmagic family manor (which isn't actually on wheels; it "merely" teleports).

* [[Berserk Button]]: Aeofel goes apeshit when he is called "Al", which becomes a sort of [[Phrase Catcher]].

* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: Splug, the temporarily foe-turned friend goblin employee, pulls one at the climax of season 1 where he saves the party from another defeat.

* [[Butt Monkey]]: As the team tank and pointman, Binwin is constantly caught in traps, set on fire, and generally treated like shit. He can (usually) take it.

** Aeofel often says [[Punctuated for Emphasis|"My name. Is. AEOFEL!"]] when people call him "Al," and also would like to remind us all that "elves are the eladrin's hillbilly cousins." Out of character, Wil also declares his catchphrase to be "Does nineteen work for you?"

* [[Critical Miss]]: Jerry is infamous for this. See the entry below for [[Epic Fail]].

* [[Death By Irony]]: [[Big Bad|Cetrine Ambershard]] dies in a acid pit, much to Aeofel's amusement.

* [[Defeat Means Friendship]]: After defeating Irontooth and his lackeys, the only surviving goblin pledges his loyalty to the party, if only so they won't kill him. He proves his worth later in the campaign.

* [[Noodle Incident]]: All the horrible implications Jim makes about his childhood with the Darkmagic carriage Cronk, an ancient, skeletal dragon. Also that his cousin Olivia makes about her childhood with Jim.

* [[Honor Before Reason]]: Two uses combine in the third season:

** This leads to Aeofel swearing his Oath of Enmity on Leer, and once that happens, he pursues even when (both in and out of character) he realizes it means getting separated from the team. Which ends with {{spoiler|Aeofel meeting his end in an acid pit}}.

* [[Hurricane of Puns]]: All the "Fay" jokes in the second PAX game.

** [[CSI: Miami|Looks like these dwarfs had some...]] *[[Beat]]* ''[[CSI: Miami|years]]'' [[CSI: Miami|shaved off.]] [[Memetic Mutation|YEEEAAH!!!]]

* [[Signature Move]]: A literal example with Jim's Magic Missile, which scorches out '''JIM''' when it hits. Less literal but still definitely so is Aeofel's Oath, which fans of the show can recite by now.

* [[Surfer Dude]]: Rad Longhammer. You can't really tell from his accent that he was adopted and raised by dwarven nobles.

{{quote| '''Rad''': [[Totally Radical|That would be totally rad!]] Oh, by the way, that's my name: Rad.}}

* [[The Intern]]: Aeofel, which is actually funny because he is a lot more serious than the rest of the party. He generally balances the others' crazy antics.

{{quote| '''Berserker Lady''': Magic missile ''me'' will you!<br />

* [[Those Two Guys]]: Invoked by the guys when they meet two crossbowmen multiple times in Season 2.

* [[To Hell and Back]]: The entire plot of the first PAX game.

* [[Too Awesome to Use]]: The scroll in season 2.

* [[Vitriolic Best Buds]]: The entire team. Apparently no one told these guys that [[Trash Talk]] is generally meant to be directed at the opponents.
