Line 52:
** And Sheila. Hey, she does a really great job looking out for her "combat munchkin" little brother!
* [[Cryptic Conversation]]: Dungeon Master, ''all the time'', to the point where the characters start lampshading it.
{{quote| '''Eric:''' What would Dungeon Master say...? ''You will find it, unless it finds you first. It lies a long way off, yet in truth, it is very near!'' How was that?}}
* [[Cute Bruiser|Cute Bruisers]]: Bobby, Diana
* [[Did Not Do the Research]]: Averted, which is noteworthy given the time period. The stories often throw in more obscure Dungeons and Dragons concepts, such as Lolth the Spider Goddess and always lining up draconic breath weapons. While a lot of things get majorly simplified for the sake of the plot, there's no doubt that this was done consciously, not lazily.
Line 141:
* [[Nerd Glasses]]: Presto wears them, and it would be a major problem if he lost them.
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Venger particularly is prone to this. For instance, regarding Terri:
{{quote| "…And she shall dream no more."}}
* [[No Swastikas]]: One episode featured Venger messing with a time portal to our world, hoping to erase the kids from history by arming a Nazi fighter pilot with a 21st-century jet. {{spoiler|Luckily for the kids, the pilot was a [[Turncoat]] who loathed Hitler's regime (and hit it off with [[Hot Amazon]] Diana, too).}} More to the point, the tell-tale armband that he tries to ditch lost the swastika it bore in the story-boards and turned into a ''[[wikipedia:Balkenkreuz|Balkankreuz]]'' (in a [[wikipedia:Japanese flag|red circle on a white background]], no less! Which [[Imperial Japan|Axis power]] did he fly for, again?).
* [[One-Winged Angel]]: Venger pulls this in "The Girl Who Dreamed Tomorrow".
Line 194:
* [[Wise Tree]]: The Know Trees in "In Search of the Dungeon Master"
** [[Woolseyism]]: The Brazilian dub had the aforementioned tree say this. (In both cases it goes on to say the correct answer, preceded by "However, if you mean <competition name> in ''your world...''")
{{quote| '''US dub:'''<br />
'''Bobby:''' OK, who won the [[wikipedia:1981 World Series|'81]] [[Baseball|World Series?]]<br />
'''Know Tree:''' Simple, the Grey Wood Elves.<br />
