| Did anyone else catch the D&D references in Sunday's Family Guy episode? Let me recap.
Premise: Lois thinks she might be pregnant and mentions it happened the night they were role-playing.
Lois: (dressed as a school girl) I've been naughty, I need a spanking.
Peter: I'm a paladin with an 18 Charisma and 97 hit points and a Helm of Disintegration that does 1D4 points of damage, with my elven mage who has a +5 Holy Avenger.
Lois: Peter! A paladin can't use a Helm of Disintegration!
Peter: Oh. Then I'm a black guy!
I was amazed at how accurate it was to D&D, but I don't remember ever seeing a Helm of Disintegration. Funny thing is, if there were such a thing, a paladin probably wouldn't be allowed to use it due to alignment restictions. | |

| I'm sure a Helm of Disintegration would do more than 1d4 damage, too. Also, I'd think the Paladin would have the Holy Avenger, not the Elven Mage.
It was still pretty funny, and I had a feeling they were going to go that way when they mentioned role playing. However, I think for sheer accuracy, Stephen Colbert's bit on D&D from the Colbert Report might top the list. | |

| | I missed that Colbert Report- but he seems the type to play D&D. I was mostly shocked to see things so specifically D&D in Family Guy instead of generic role-play. | |

I'm not. Seth McFarlane is a self-admited geek. I'm sure he's put in more than his share of time behind the screen. | |

| Thanks for sharing the Stephen Colbert clip- that was too specific to not be true! I loved his "redundant" comment! It's also funny how he referred to the Great D&D Scare of '84. (Read my post in the D&D IS EVIL topic to read my rediculous memories of this.)
Homer was less specific with his comment, "We played Dungeons and Dragons for THREE HOURS, then I was slain by an elf." Futurama actually had Gary Gygax on an episode (with his +2 Mace), as well as a beholder working at the Bureau of Bureacracy(?). | |
