The skit was done by a comedy troupe called the Dead Alewives, and someone originally made this 8-bit theater video for it, which is where I first heard it a loooong time ago.
I had a few month Dungeons and Dragons stint. The newest edition is really easy to just jump into, but the older stuff (that most of the hardcore D&D fans are into) is supposed to be much more difficult to figure out.
I learned just by playing it with a group, I am not sure if it is really possible to figure it out without actually playing it, since a lot of dungeons and dragons is just completely ridiculous awkward RP between people (as seen in the video).
Video games have kind of spoiled me though... It was a little slow for my tastes.
I recommend watching the podcast of the Robot Chicken writers playing D&D, which is DMed by a WotC employee. It has people who've never played before just jumping right into it. There's a lot to watch (plus a DM commentary track on the same YouTube account!), but I thought it was pretty entertaining the whole way through.

Dash, the eternal lesbian. As it should be.
Good God this is the funniest thing I've ever watched ever!
Pure pony comedy gold.
I'm tempted to cross the girl's final frontier and learn to play D&D.
there is a D&D guide for eggheads? >.>
I know I've heard this somewhere before, but I can't think of where. It was a fun watch though. Really liked it! x3
