"Evil energy is like evil thoughts. Change its direction, and it changes to good." - Dungeon Master. What a line! Wished it hadn't flown right past me as a kid.
A great series about helping others and fighting for what's kind, and yet in the 80s, some groups were trying to ban this classic show. The retro style cel animation, backgrounds and music, voices and stories, all great.
Agree with you, I do. However, bet you, I will. Should resurrected this cartoon become, those that bring that to pass, the new soundtrack, allow to be poop, they will! It's D&D! etc.
12:17 cracks me up every single time 😂 From Eric being totally clueless when he asks for help, followed by both the zombie's and Eric's reactions to each other, and the music and voice acting to go with it. Quite possibly the funniest scene in the entire show 🤣 Comedy gold!
When Eric asked for help to the unsuspecting person, his reaction when he seen that zombie turned around! I fucking laughed my ass off! Especially, when the zombie made that eerie noise-like howl!
This is the episode that made it so clear Dungeon Master was just toying with them the way Yahweh toyed with Job, that people started theorizing "the kids are in purgatory".
I just this funny image of venger just yelling at dungeon master but dungeon master is just spouting off his bullshit and the kids are just standing there aquardly
We seem to dream of and tell stories with the world being a linear place: No matter who wanders off or gets captured all the characters find each other at the end, but always stopping short of their ultimate goal. Which world is better anyway?
Actually Gygax (Creator of Dungeons and Dragons) didn't like wizards that much compared to fighters. He couldn't really understand how players would prefer to be mages over fighters. (He viewed fighters as heroic, slayers of monsters, etc) So it's a bit apt.
I would in an instant. Look at the amazing artwork in the backgrounds of each episode and they totally would make me want to visit The Realm. As long as the orchestra was there as well to play the brilliant music for me!
Can I just say as a 47 year old man I love this cartoon even when I first watched it in the 80s, but wow are the sound effects terrible! lol! These have been so great to watch.
Similar to the "hobbit/halfling" thing, D&D originally used Tolkien's term "ent" until a cease & desist forced them to change it to "treant." That predated the cartoon, but might have had something to do with the decision to avoid either term. The show pretty regularly used different names for creatures, though - especially ones that were only in a single episode.
I have a theory that the dm used their magic to fuck with the brains of the players making them oblivious to who he is, not knowing that he is the one trying to kill them all the time, In the trailer of the new movie these characters are shown once I go to the movie theater I will try and expand this theory.
The lip synching on this episode is awful even by 80s saturday morning cartoon standards. Both Eric and Venger have both said whole sentences without their mouths moving.
This cartoon is an ever classic &, masterpiece of art &, story telling. Far ahead of it's time...
"Evil energy is like evil thoughts. Change its direction, and it changes to good." - Dungeon Master. What a line! Wished it hadn't flown right past me as a kid.
Shows the depth of writing.
And blows the enemy up completely.......but we dont mention that part ;-)

The History with the 80's is amazing.
They tried to ban this show? Wow... I guess the 80s had its "Cancel Culture" too lol.
@@xmetax I remember the games being controversial but not this cartoon.
@@YankeeMystiqueYou are correct. One mentality disturbed kid committed suicide, and his grieving, Type A, mother blamed it on the original game.
This show was one of the highlights of my Saturday morning lineup as a kid
One of the best soundtracks this show has!
Agree with you, I do.
However, bet you, I will. Should resurrected this cartoon become, those that bring that to pass, the new soundtrack, allow to be poop, they will!
It's D&D! etc.

12:40 Creases me up!
Thank you for sharing this something rare generation remembers
moral of the story: "you must gather your party before venturing forth"
"Wait, I forgot about freeing the Dwarves...."
Runs over to a hole and shouts "C'mon!"
Wow, what an exciting escape!! lol
This was my favorite every Saturday morning,with a bowl of Pac-Man cereal!!👍
What would dungeon master do? Dissapear! Erik is hilarious
Given how easily Hank and Bobby break an opening through that cave wall later on, it feels like they could've made short work of that rock monster.
BS&P prevented them from using their weapons to directly harm others. But walls? Sure.
When Eric asked for help to the unsuspecting person, his reaction when he seen that zombie turned around! I fucking laughed my ass off! Especially, when the zombie made that eerie noise-like howl!

I just this funny image of venger just yelling at dungeon master but dungeon master is just spouting off his bullshit and the kids are just standing there aquardly
Jack Sullivan. Venger is dungeon masters son thats why he never was mean to him!
That Know Tree is a filthy metagamer.
Probably also a stinking palm-roller.
I love Eric!! Dungeon Master is in danger....Who Cares??? Haha
8:06 I really like how those flying lions turned out to be good
Just like Jesus the LION OF JUDAH the greatest Lion ever. PRAISE GOD!
What about Aslan?
Really nice twist. Even the music was really uplifting as well at 8:33.
When you run across hostile flying lions it really sphinx.
@17:45 Giant Spiny from Super Mario Brothers 3. I can just imagine the size of Lakitu tossing the eggs for this thing.
Anybody else catch VENGER basically say "your powers are weak old man"? Which is what Vader says to Obi Wan in the first Star Wars. LOL
Lael Destan Also the dwarf speaks like Master Yoda.
A lot of Star Wars references were made in the series. 🌟
@@mikeshirleyforever yes - they flat out call someone a wookiee in one episode, and mention Obi-Wan by name in another
@@AC-AC One episode features "cloud bears", little furry humanoids who live on platforms up in giant trees.
@@wizardsuth lol true! BTW, if you're THAT Suth, stay away from portals. Just... trust me.
That bloody unicorn. What a pest. Does she ever help or just stand around moaning?
Jersey Pooh Yes, I hate it so much..
It's annoying
the keep that bleating thing just in case the group ever runs outa food
Would have been cool if she grew slowly every season.
Agreed! Couldn't be any more annoying!
Well, Sheliah was actually pretty useful in this episode.
Surprising
She was always my favorite ❤
Dwarf speaks like master Yoda.
Never split the party....
It's a party of six so they could split into two groups of three and be mostly fine.
"Clerics in the back keep the fighters hale and hearty."
Imortan Joe from Fury Road sounds like War Duke.
If they can't fight Bullywugs then the DM is being a jerk throwing TIAMAT at them.
7:51 "Hocus Pocus...out of focus"
For some reason this is my favorite episode
Seems like all they do Everytime they are in danger is slightly delay the threat and then ask Presto to solve it with magic
One of my favorite cartoons 😊
We seem to dream of and tell stories with the world being a linear place: No matter who wanders off or gets captured all the characters find each other at the end, but always stopping short of their ultimate goal. Which world is better anyway?
it is the first cartoon where there is Zombie
Thanks for uploading
Man, The D.M. sure hates spell casters!
Actually Gygax (Creator of Dungeons and Dragons) didn't like wizards that much compared to fighters. He couldn't really understand how players would prefer to be mages over fighters. (He viewed fighters as heroic, slayers of monsters, etc)
So it's a bit apt.
@@sirellyn This is a joke I made 3 years ago, but thanks for the fun fact.
@@Apollo_Vanron Ah! Well, I was curious if there was a statute of limitations on fun facts.
@@sirellyn I don't know what that means but I hope you have a great day!
@@Apollo_Vanron A fun fact is like a normal fact, except that someone says "fun fact" before or sometimes after saying it.

Eric is comic gold! What's so funny is that Eric actually t THINKS about history before he answers.
War Duke!!! Finally
I like this show
I really like how the Faerie was a precursor to the voice of Slimer of The Real Ghostbusters.
Same voice actor actually.
Same character actually. The Faerie dies and becomes Slimer.
IN SHOET TO DM ITS ONLY A GAME AND THE KIDS JUST PLAYERS ., SO HE GET S JOY SEEING THEM FIGHT
14:02 orcs are such slobs
Who else would willingly go to this world? 🙋
I would STAY in this world…if I could choose my new body I’d choose a Harengon Sorcerer :D
Me🧙♂️
I would in an instant. Look at the amazing artwork in the backgrounds of each episode and they totally would make me want to visit The Realm. As long as the orchestra was there as well to play the brilliant music for me!
Can I just say as a 47 year old man I love this cartoon even when I first watched it in the 80s, but wow are the sound effects terrible! lol! These have been so great to watch.
That's not a Zombie it's retired maths teacher
Dwarf Yoda.
19:36 something ang the last air bender would say 😂
Lets give kudos to those low level Wollywogs , they got heart! they took their shot at Dungeon Master ! lol
Wow i am back here again .
Dungeon masters an Airhead !! Eric is awesome.
The "Know Tree"
Uni's sounds are irritating
I agree... but the voice actor is a legend... All hail Megatron!
Playing death Knights of Krynn while watching...2018..fuck yeah
In honor of my 50th Anniversary NECA Warduke shipping, here I am...
2:54 Pre Three Eyed Raven.
Uh...you were saying, Venger?
"Dear me, Bullywugs!" ?? really?? For the last 40 years, I thought Dungeon Master said "Bullywugs, oh my!" Is this Mandela effect?
D&D
Go Go Go Satan Dragon !
- Satan Dragon
Excuse me? He got bullywugs right but not treants?
Similar to the "hobbit/halfling" thing, D&D originally used Tolkien's term "ent" until a cease & desist forced them to change it to "treant." That predated the cartoon, but might have had something to do with the decision to avoid either term. The show pretty regularly used different names for creatures, though - especially ones that were only in a single episode.
Thanks f or the upload
i wud had slapped presto for taking my weapon
I wonder why Venger and Dungeon Masters voices sound slightly off this episode....
Venger sounded like Darth Vader
The dwarfs should have helped in the fight
I wanna hug dungeon master
2:00 Warduke!
WARDUKE!!!
i love dungeon masters look , when ranger figured it out , 😉unless he wanted them too
9:15 Eric's such an arrogant coward and a fool.
Do is Dungeon Master basically a DMPC? But like not really the bad kind?
I've always wondered who voiced Warduke.
14:02 don't these orcs ever learn table manners
I have a theory that the dm used their magic to fuck with the brains of the players making them oblivious to who he is, not knowing that he is the one trying to kill them all the time, In the trailer of the new movie these characters are shown once I go to the movie theater I will try and expand this theory.
The poor mage is always useless lol.

No matter what episode , eric was the one character I always hated
meh
