This must be the virtual equivalent of talking to yourself, but... I was thinking about this after writing so much nonsense and it occurred to me that D&D had an unfair advantage. The other action cartoons I've listed were by and large fantasy / future (mostly grown up) heroes in their own world, so they couldn't do pop culture refs and jokes, complain about the world they were in.
Typical 80s heroes approach a dark castle.
One: This looks like the place. Female (there will only be one): Are you sure? Two: According to the map, it should be. Come on, let's go inside and see if we can find the gimmick of the day. One: But be careful. The villain's henchmen could be hiding in here.
D&D would be more like this.
Dark castle etc etc. Eric: Oh, great. Presto: Let's hope that Dracula is out. Sheila: (worriedly) Are you sure this is the right place? Hank: Well, Dungeon Master said [insert cryptic clue here]. Diana: I'd have expected to find the Circlet of Light somewhere a little less gloomy
