Reno 911

[RigaMortus]

For those that don't know, there is a TV show (American TV show) on Comedy Central called "Reno 911" which is basically a spoof of the show "Cops".

I am personally not a big fan, but a friend of mine saw an episode recently where the cops in "Reno 911" got a disturbance call. When they showed up, there were a bunch of kids playing D&D, dressed up in character. I was wondering if anyone else saw this episode? And maybe knows where I can find a transcript of it, or possibly download it (Kazaa perhaps)?

Moved to Off-topic. I would put it in TV & Movies, but it seems more about the D&D parody than the show.

Yep, I saw it the other night - loved it! Patton Oswalt was the lead in it, and he was great.

They made a repeat appearance last night and were asked to sign the mustache petition.

Man, I love the mustache petition.

As discussion of a D&D parody, doesn't it belong in General Discussion, not Off-Topic?

Anyway, it was really funny. As some LARPers are sitting around a table out doors, one of them (in some chain mail sort of get-up) approaches the officers. He's ranting about the other people not playing correctly, and arguing with the officers about the other players ("they would say that because they're evil"). Somehow the officers get a hold of this axe with blood on it. The officers are trying to ask him if he hit someone with the axe, and the guy won't shut up about his character. He starts blathering on about how he's immune to edged weapons, "Wizards Prismatic Spray," etc. and Deputy Williams says, "Are you immune to pepper spray?" and blasts him in the face.

It was funny, they didnt look like kids though, actually middle aged. The DM had hacked one of the players in the head with an axe (?) for trying to cast a spell at a higher level than his character. Personally, I'd just let him try the spell and give him a good chance for it to backfire...

I saw that episode a couple of weeks ago. Made me chuckle. I particularly liked it when, as they were carting him off, one of the cops says something like, "Call dispatch and tell 'em to have a cell ready for a demi-god."

I think the guy was played by one of the comics that appears regularly on Best Week Ever. I think he also plays the guy who writes "The Crimson Chin" on Fairly Odd Parents. (Hey, I've got three kids so I watch a lotta cable.)

Ugh. I dislike this show immensely. I'm fairly sure it'll be cancelled after no more than two seasons, like that god-awful Strip Mall that was on a while back.

Sounds like a funny episode though.

What?! You're crazy. My wife and I love Reno 911. It's really, really funny. My wife (and she's a pretty tough critic) just gets the biggest laughs out of this show.

I like the show alot, but I also liked the show Cops, so go figure.

I haven't seen this episode. There have only been a few so far (for this second season), so I wonder which one I missed.

(My vote would have been to put this thread in the TV/movie forum, where it truly belongs )

I thought season 1 of reno 911 was kinda bleh. Season 2's pretty good, though. And Strip Mall was a frigging awesome show. They cancel all their good shows, Strip Mall, Strangers with Candy, Upright Citizen's Brigade, That's My Bush...

And I can't believe noone's mentioned the Nubians part. To sort of paraphrase;

Geek: See? This is why I don't like you guys playing Nubians! *too officers, both of whom are black* Umm, not that there's anything wrong with you. I mean, the spell resistance and the dark vision, you're just evil.

Something like that. It was good.
