Recap / Dan Vs S 2 E 27 Dan Vs The Bank

Go To

When Dan's bank gives a fifty cent increase in its already high ATM fees, Dan attempts to rob the bank to get his money back. Elise tries to rob the same bank in order to pay off a terrorist and Chris is forced to tag along and spends a majority of the episode dressed as a clown.


This episode contains examples of the following Tropes:

  • Absurdly Spacious Sewer
  • Acquired Poison Immunity: Dan is still shown to be immune to tear gas.
  • Bank Robbery
  • Beware the Nice Ones: Dan causes a dye pack to go off in Chris's face and laughs at him. Chris snaps and starts punching him repeatedly.
  • Bilingual Bonus: The bank has a sign reading "Ni Parolas Esperante," meaning "We Speak Esperanto."
  • Going Commando: When Dan's pants get ripped off by the chained pen he tried to steal, he and Chris get tackled and locked up in jail. Cue this comment:
    Chris: Of all the days for you to not wear underwear...
  • Guilt by Association Gag:
    • When a security guard throws Dan out of the bank for causing a scene, another one does the same to Chris, despite the latter not doing anything wrong.
      Chris: Wait. Why did they throw me out?
    • Later, Chris gets arrested alongside Dan when the latter's pants get ripped off on a day he wasn't wearing underwear. Chris states that he didn't know it was possible to be an accessory to indecent exposure until then.
  • He Knows Too Much:
    Elise: Dan, we need to go.
    Dan: I'm not leaving.
    Elise: His choice, let's move.
    Chris: We can't leave Dan.
    Elise: You're right, he knows too much.
    Chris: And he's our friend.
    Elise: ...Sure. That too.
  • Hostage Situation: Dan fakes one by putting a squirt gun to Clown Chris's head.
    Police Chief: What kind of a monster threatens a clown? All they wanna do is make people happy.
  • Indy Ploy: Dan hopes to rob the bank without having to plan it out before hand.
  • Laser Hallway
  • Mistaken for Gay: Very subtle: the bank manager asks Dan and Chris if they want to open a joint checking account.
  • Not Me This Time: Even Dan seems surprised when the fire that destroys the bank turns out not to be (directly) his fault.
  • Paper-Thin Disguise: Dan and Chris both wear sunglasses, trucker hats and giant mustaches while sneaking into the bank during business hours. It doesn't help that their disguises are exactly the same.
  • Sad Clown: Chris
  • "The Reason You Suck" Speech: Dan gives one to who he thought was the bank manager.
