D & DD (Dexter's Laboratory)

"D & DD" is the first half of the third episode in the second season of Dexter's Laboratory.

Plot
After becoming tired of his complicated traps and cheating while playing a tabletop role-playing game, Dexter's friends put Dee Dee in Dexter's place. She changes the style of play, which annoys Dexter but impresses his friends.

Why It's Legendary

 * 1) The fight Dexter and his friends' imaginary heroes have with the dragon beast at the start was fun to watch, along with the other one with the red dragon.
 * 2) The tabletop roleplaying game Dexter, his friends and Dee Dee play, "Monsters & Mazes" is a great parody of "Dungeons & Dragons".
 * 3) The designs of the imaginary heroes Dexter and his friends pretended to be look pretty good - including Falcor, the hawkeye woodsman (possibly a parody of Robin Hood), Macabros, the mysterious magician, Valerian, the brave knight, Dexter's requested hero form, "Guy Dex the 27th Level Warrior Mage" (or a strong knight) along with his one played throughout the game, Hodo the Furryfooted Burrower - who is a digging troll & even Fairy Queen.
 * 4) * Soraz, the evil wizard the heroes meet at the start also has a great design, along with the red dragon that's actually a pinata & the one Hodo came across when burrowing under the ground & even the Pixie Fairy that came from a Pixie Stick Dexter opened.
 * 5) * Speaking of which, both the candy-spewing dragon & Pixie Fairy coming from a stick are both very impressive.
 * 6) * The backgrounds look really well done, colorful and detailed, especially the dungeon forest one which Hodo (Dexter) requested.
 * 7) Dee Dee is surprisingly much better than usual here, and she does a great job on narrating how Dexter and his friends played "Monsters & Mazes" along with "The Milton Brothers".
 * 8) Some funny moments, such as Dee Dee constantly asking Dexter if she could join in on him and his friends' tabletop roleplaying game - with Mom saying "of course, dear".
 * 9) Decent ending: All the heroes get their rewards from Fairy Queen using her rose wand for defeating the candy-spewing dragon & for being sent by the pixie fairy (Valerian receiving a motorcycle shaped like a pegasus, Macabros getting a lifetime contract to play Las Vegas magic shows, Falcor getting a spacious treehouse & Hodo getting a drinkable grail that never spills). Then the dungeon game ends and Dee Dee picks another game, "The Milton Brothers" (where a bachelorette must choose a lucky bachelor for a special mystery date) - and it ends with her bachelorette form asking the contestants if they have any skills to stop herself from being stranded on an island, and Hodo says "I dig holes".

The Only Bad Quality

 * 1) Dexter is pretty intolerable in this episode, considering that his friends don't like how he cheats while he is the Gamemaster, he complains while his friends enjoy the game more when Dee Dee takes his place.

Reception

 * This episode, along with "Hamhocks and Armlocks", hold a rating of 7.6/10 on IMDB.
