Episode 41:
• DragonBall Z Abridged:...
I always liked the idea of 17 saying stuff like "Bitchin'" because it helped him feel like he was still stuck in the slang terms that were common at the time he was turned into a cyborg and put into the stasis pod. He doesn't KNOW that people don't say "Bitchin'" anymore, but everybody was when he was human.
yeah he felt too cool for school it was awesome
Then we have Piccolo
I came down here to post a comment to this effect myself, because yeah, it makes perfect sense whether or not it was intentional. Same thing with 18 using the word "welching"".
To me this really fits with both his character and his design. He wears clothes which were already out of style by the time the manga was being written, uses old slang, and just generally talks like he's been in stasis for a decade, which absolutely fits.
I always figured that was intentional lol
I say "bitchin" exclusively as a reference to Piccolo being asked if he wants to go drive cars again by Goku.
"bitchin" is the first time around
Also when piccolo fuses with nail
"bitchin how we do"
@@brendago4505 Piccolo is literally only 6 or so years older than Gohan. He is still just a young teenager in human and saiyan years by the time of the androids.
SOCIAL ACTIVITY!!!
Lani and Kaiser: **wonders why Oolong voiced the disclaimer**
Oolong: I'm *delicious*
Roshi: HOW OLD ARE YOU!!?
CANIBALISM!!!
@@BellaFalk95 Pigs will eat literally anything. They're not above cannibalism
I love the line about Tien's doctor because the absurdity that Tien of all people is the one to actually go and see a regular doctor. Just imagine seeing this three-eyed bald guy who's goddamn massive sitting in the waiting room.
At first I was gonna say "not that odd, the king of the world is a dog man" and dinosaurs are alive, but then I remembered they can't comprehend people flying or firing energy blasts.
Sometimes when you watch DBZ you kinda forget that the regular people in the DBZ universe are straight up just normal sized normal people.
@@ZeallustImmortal and dogs
@@tranatkikomi6873 Yeah it’s normal for em but a flying guy or a guy with more mass than a mass monster body builder would always catch me off guard
Honestly the joke about Tien's shoulders is probably the joke I remember most out of the entire series. It's so out of nowhere and hysterical.
I don't get it.
"That's why we don't see him anymore."
Gan's delivery in that whole scene is probably my favorite in the entire episode
@@fireball1249 his shoulders are massive. That was the joke
It's maybe the only joke in the entire series that relies on making fun of something absurd about Tien, as well. His 'only serious character in the show' status means he doesnt get much chance to have fun made of him and is always aware of how weird any given situation is... except when it comes to his shoulders
Well ngl they do look very swole
Chi-chis a nice and friendly lady, I like to imagine that Chi-chi offered Yamcha a different shirt or one of Goku's Gis to replace his, but then Yamcha just decided to deal with his stab holes because all of Goku's clothes weigh like 500 pounds
Good point
Funnily enough by this point 500 pounds probably isn't shit to him lol
Isn’t Chi-Chi that women who lives in Gokus house?
@@ashikjaman1940 500lb may have made sense back in the early saiyan saga or late Dragoball, but Goku would be way beyond that now.
@@Elizarox1987That 𝓫𝓮𝓪𝓾𝓽𝓲𝓯𝓾𝓵 woman who lives in Goku's house.
“We keep getting hit by Airplanes now. It’s funny!”
That one line was hysterical! Because that’s exactly what Popo would say
I imagine most of the lookout is super durable and the planes just explode when they hit it. And Popo laughs as the people die horribly.
itd be funny if thats how they explained the Bermuda Triangle
Jet fuel can't melt steel beams. 🤭
@@Echognomics101 Popo's stare can.
CFIG: Controlled Flight Into Ground.
But the Lookout isn't the ground so...
CFIL?
Controlled Flight Into- *_Lookout!_*
"Women am I right?" "Confirmed, she is female" is one of my favorite jokes
It's the perfect joke for that trio. 16 has no idea what he's being asked or agreeing to, but he is so happy to be there and confirm 17's query. Even the set up is clearly just 17 messing with 18 in an attempt to piss her off (as the siblings have been doing to each other ever since they woke up), but she doesn't say anything. Perhaps she doesn't care or is just pretending not to care to not let him "win" this stupid game of theirs (reminds me of Tien and Vegeta's "game")
The "ha ha, she is" just punctuates it perfectly
wait, did you mean the transmission? because its fixed
@@dii3218 that one caught me so off guard, i balled
Idk why but that for some reason that makes me laugh so hard
"We keep getting hit by airplanes now. It's funny."
The nonchalance in Lani's Popo f*cking killed me
14:43 is the timestamp
@@dustin202thank you
I want to point out that Gohan had the bowl cut first. Yamcha saw a five year old who'd just gotten his hair cut by his mother and thought to himself, "I can make that style work."
And by god, he did.
Didnt he have it in the 22nd world tournament when tien broke his leg?
Please don't feel bad about pausing so often. It's one of the main reasons we watch you: to get a full length behind the scenes commentary on your series
For real. We're watching *this* series because we want to hear them talk.
If we wanted to just watch DBZA, we'd go watch that.
He's apologizing to Lani because it's clearly annoyed him in past episodes.
Yeah if we didn't want other people's input we would just watch the actual episodes only
I don't mind the pausing for actual commentary but when it's just circlejerking the cast it gets a bit much, but they have gotten better with that as the commentary series goes on.
The thing about the “how old are you!?” line is that, Chiaotzu is actually a child in Dragonball, and I think Toriyama just forgot to have him age
Isn't he a Jiangshi?
@@mixmastermind he’s based on one, don’t know if he _actually_ is though
He's like the same age as Goku and Krillin
@@fidelgarcia2224yup
@@fidelgarcia2224 damn Chiaotzu can be a dad
This is my favourite way to spend my saturdays now
THIS!!!
Same
Yup. Even better while eating! 😁
Saturday afternoon show
Amen to that
Theory: Gohan actually looks up to Yamcha because he is the only one of the Z fighters who had a life outside of fighting.
That actually makes tons of sense and that is now my theory too.
Yamcha's also the only one who successfully retired from fighting. Poor Gohan will never stop getting dragged into the fight.
Tbh he really is, every other "Z warrior" or whatever you want to call them has no job and just bums around in between world ending crises. In Goku's case, their money was inherited from Chi-Chi's dad (the Ox King), Vegeta from Bulma's billionaire family, Krillin just bums off of Master Roshi, Piccolo doesn't have a home, etc. Yamcha is the only one of the entire group who uses his superhuman abilities to make money (as a rich, famous, successful baseball player). As someone who hates fighting, I think Gohan low key sees Yamcha as a role model for the kind of person he wants to be when he grows up lol
@@marvelsandals4228 nah krillins a cop tho
Yamcha is Gohan's favorite uncle who gets him baseball tickets and takes him out for activities that have nothing to do with training, unlike everyone else
@@yukikid2195 Not until Super
I love the running joke of “and who knows what [person, usually Cell] is doing?” **cuts to [person, usually Cell] doing something incredibly mundane**
The line about Tiens shoulders is my favourite Tien joke in the series.
Proof you can be 100% serious and still be funny
This is where Chiaotzu starts to become super underrated (comedically) too
My favourite Tien line is a few episodes' time, the "I am not a spectator, I am a warrior!" Because it's so hilariously sudden but also very true to the character overall. And it's a badass delivery.
That’s why we don’t see him anymore
Will never not make me laugh
That line gives off some good early Yu-Gi-Oh! Abridged vibes.
I don't get it!
"We keep getting hit by Airplanes now... It's funny," I was not prepared for that comment... thank you Lani
Yes, that was absolutely amazing.
Do you think Popo finds it funny because they're on a tower?
@@Midnight-Starfish I'm sure the infestations of people dying is a big plus.
I’d watch an entire spinoff series about Popo.
16 and 17's "boy with robot" shtick is amazing. Especially love 17's reaction to 16's rocket punch, during his fight with Cell
18: Urgh, really?
17: THAT IS SO COOL!
That is my favourite joke in DBZA.
17 respects the Chuuni 🤣 "Hellzone Grenade!" "Awe man, it's even got a cool name!"
17:23 I always imagined Piccolo and Kami’s “hmm” exchange to be something like the “thwarting my plans” joke based on the way their voices go up and down, not sure if that was intentional or not lol. I imagine something like:
Piccolo: “What are you doing?”
Kami: “What am I doing?”
Piccolo: “Fusing with me??”
Kami: “Fusing with you??”
Piccolo: “ARE YOU?!”
Kami: “…..no.”
Piccolo:Good cuz that’d be bad
@@KWBR1123 Kami: how bad?
@@watersman9373 Piccolo: I’d have to kill you
Kami: That would also be bad
@@watersman9373 Piccolo: Indeed
It really is interesting to see Krillin's development from when he was dating Maron to how he's always describing 18.
Maron = Lust
18 = Love
Focusing only on the assets got him in trouble. The person attached to them kinda 100% matters more.
21:49 You know, even though Yamcha regrets it and hates when it plays, the fact that in this universe his "Cat Loves Food" song has remixes from other artists and even Goku and Tien find it catchy, must mean that it was a pretty big song. Honestly from royalties he should have been rich long before purchasing HETAP. Good on ya Wolf Fang Friend!
The reason he hates it so much is because he sold the rights for 1000$ to get his baseball career started
Every time he hears it, he kicks himself
Lawyers tend not to brought back with the Dragonballs.
@@noahkarpinski1824 Is that what happened? I always thought he just got screwed out of his royalties, like Krillin and Skygina.
Eh, considering the payday he got in the Dragon Shortz, Eventually he probably doesn't really care
@@briansilva3344 That's a shame.
"And then she tried to bang you..."
Krillin still finds it hilarious.
I love how when Bulma asks "is Trunks there?" Krillin wait a second, then with a straight face replies "is this a booty call?" Like what an absolute legend bwahaha, my man just made this situation as awkward as possible for both Trunks and Bulma with no remorse whatsoever, sry guys, it's too damn funny.
11:03
I've always loved the sheer rage and contempt in Trunks' simple "No."
In those few seconds of dead silence before he replied, Trunks remembered the entire events of the History of Trunks movie, how 18 had slaughtered thousands of innocent people, left cities in a pile of rubble, the streets full of corpses, and the dolls of little kids she killed, how she killed his father, Goku, and all of the main cast, including Gohan, his closest friend and mentor...just to get some sick sadistic pleasure out of causing others misery. Then he decided to say "...no." And left it at that lol
For the record, Kami had Goku’s tail permanently removed so he could restore the moon, and I always felt that before then he was using his powers to prevent natural disaster when the moon had been destroyed.
In the dub of Kai, when Trunks describes 17 and 18 to Goku, he does admit he’d call her cute if she wasn’t killing everyone. Regardless, i’ll always love that cold delivery from Kaiser at 11:03
It says so much with so little
I never saw 16 as "soulless." I saw him more as lacking human flaws such as hatred and jealousy and having a child-like lack of trauma and bias. So his completely logical mind only saw mindless destruction as pointless, and thus he became the person that reigned 17 and 18 in.
16 is a literal robot; no soul.
Yeah, 16 having no soul because he’s an actual Android is the reason that he isn’t brought back by the Dragon Balls like 17 is.
He's also ginger. If you were on internet in 2010 you'd know Gingers don't have a soul meme :D
@@RobiePAX-1 Soul +1 Static
He hates Goku
How did people miss that 18 was implying she would obliterate country music!! That was my favourite joke for years!! 😂😂
I think they were also saying this is a setup for why they do hate country music in the movies and people missed it. So it’s doubly horrible because it’s a fantastic joke and they missed out on a slight characteristic of 17 and 18, in that they aren’t randomly picking things to be “petty” at. They have grievances and act on them because they have no recourse.
Roshi "HOW OLD ARE YOU?!" is still my favorite quote.
LOL at Lani's face during the Krillin "you ever think that Android 18 is kind of cute" line
I love when they act along with the show. It's bitchin' to see them enjoy their own material like we do.
Oolong's "I'm delicious!" Line is one of my favorites in the whole show
Shoutout to Chris for apparently doing random covers for the team completely unprompted. He can never be formally involved with the series, but you can tell how much he enjoys it.
For some reason, I keep thinking that DJ Sexadillion is Arin from Game Grumps lol

All Might popping up when he says "Thank you DJSexadillionaire, you're our hero," is a fantastic wink
That bit with Tien's doctor and how big his shoulders are always makes me laugh 😂
One of my favorite as well
I always forget that he says it too when he goes to the house
Bulma saying "Killin" after the booty call comment is one of my favourite deliveries in the whole series, the way she says it is perfect
Lani: “you didn’t get push back from me.”
Also Lani: proceeds to tell him why he got push back for wanting to use the word welching
😂
I kind of always saw 17 as 16's little brother who acts like an older sibling to the mechanical cinnamon roll lol
I probably sound like a Boomer or something, but wtf is a cinnamon roll in this context? I can only guess that's it's a pure, nice person or something
@@johannesstephanusroos4969 And your guess is correct lol
Love how the androids were written
I feel like their relationship is super important to liking 17, and it works so well
@@johannesstephanusroos4969 A big fluffy and sweet person
My theory is that the androids don't become evil in this timeline because of 16.
He gives the pair a goal and some adventure to just go and have fun.
If it was just the brother and sister left to their own devices it wouldn't be long before violence takes hold.
My theory is that when Cell traveled back in time, he was able to connect to Gero's computers telepathically (since that's how he learned everything growing up) and made some changes to the androids to make them 1) more powerful so they wouldn't die like in his timeline and 2) less homicidal so Cell would have more people to absorb
@@battlesheep2552 that kind of seems like a large stretch. but I guess it is possible. The most obvious difference between the timelines is 16 being there. My question is what happened to 16 in future trunks timeline.
Considering the canonical reason of 16 being less murderous is them opening up the pod before the start up procedures, that might be the idea.
16 definitely had an influence but Goku still being alive is another. The androids don't know he's sick but know he's alive by the fact everyone else essentially admitted to hiding him as opposed to them getting activated and finding out he's already dead and with their primary target already dead they just decide to attack everyone.
I assume the thing with Frieza coming to earth possibly also alter Dr. Gero's actions, possibly why he apparently created additional androids beyond 17 and 18.
for people who don’t know, DJ Sexadillionare they talk about is the nickname they give Chris Sabat who cameos a few times. Chris Sabat is the funimation dbz voice director official voice of Vegeta, Piccolo, Yamucha, All Might, etc…. The reason they give him the nickname is so he doesn’t get in trouble with Toei or higher ups at Funi
Also makes sense why they say he is their "hero" with an All Might pic
My favorite random DJ moment of all of them is in Hellsing with the song from this episode being a close second.
A few of DJ Sabat's cameos from memory:
Random alien in the Bardock movie: "You're going to EEEarth." "It's actually pronounced Earth." "That sounds stupid." "YOU'RE STUPID!"
The southern narrator in the Android 13 movie: "And that's when Vegeta learned, if you grab a bull by the horns...it'll take you for a ride."
Thank you for this post!!! I had no idea
Woah, that's incredible. I did not know that and now my mind is just a little blown.
The mistarefusion shout-out is legit... I watched them for years and never understood how they didn't have several million subs... the breakdowns are as well sourced and cited as it gets and deserves all the flowers.
I love the "Porrrrr...k" joke because it's a callback to a Krillin and Oolong exchange in, of all things, Revenge of Cooler. Perfect, no notes.
The Gohan & Yamcha haircut theory is Gohan doesn't know any other haircut because all of his friends beside Goku and Chi chi is all bald Piccolo is bald
Krillin is bald
Tien is bald
Roshi is bald
Chiaotzu only have one strand of hair
Vegeta is not his friend
So he just looked at Yamcha and said "yeah I'll go with that"🤷
@SIR DIXON HEAD cannon, you say?
@@shadowldrago take your bouquet of roses
So that's why 13 stole Vegeta's do
Gero's database had like seven haircuts and five were Yamcha's, and he ain't using a Goku wig
I don't know why, but "Vegeta is not his friend" killed me.
I also imagine Yamcha is sort of aloof and cool to him? Like he's one of his dad's friends, he doesn't know, and as mentioned, most of them are bald.
Sort of an accidental appreciation.
The Oolong “I’m delicious” line is bloody brilliant and makes me chuckle literally every time.
Also: normal words that sound dirty/inappropriate: “flange” You’re welcome
I also love how when Krillin almost feeds Oolong pork in the Cooler movie, he saves it by saying "Pooooor-porpoise," but Chiaotzu (despite stretching the word out) still ends it with "-orK." Like, he already ate it, said it was good, it's like the Bulma Trunks thing: no point keeping it from ya, damage is already done.
Inappropriate weird word:
reeming.
Lol
I'll throw in "spooning".
Ah, a fellow Rathergood connoisseur. Very nice, very nice.
Flange is a great word, it's even better if you work on the railway, where it is worked into such wonderful phrases as "flange squeal", "flange lock" and "automatic flange greaser"
“In another world it could have been a slur”
And hell yeah new episode
thank goodness for how active they are for this. i hope we get an episode every week till we are done. but that might be asking for a lot.
Pretty sure it's original spelling was "welshing" and it was in fact a slur against people from wales
@@rikusauske I looked it up, you're right. A welcher is someone who doesn't uphold their obligations, and welch is an alternate form of welsh
@@sydneymads5220 you just now reminded me of where I heard that word from. Couldn’t put my finger on it.
For me, scammers, or people who wouldn’t pay up after a bet in EA games (madden particularly) would be called “welcher’s” almost 10 years ago now for me tho
I love y’all callbacks and setups for jokes. It’s soooo good!!
The thing about tien's shoulders is down right hilarious. I absolutely can see him ignoring anyone telling him he shouldn't train.
Piccolo gives uncle energy. Tenshinhan gives much older brother energy.
Yamaha gives the "cool to the children" cousin energy.
I've heard the term yuncle, young uncle.
@@GreenlandRobot ill be honest, I've never heard of "yuncle" before
16:34 The funniest thing about this scene (to me) is that Tien actually goes to the doctor. Or, rather, he used to.
That's why we don't see him anymore 😂😂
Imagine a random ass triclops wearing a traditional martial arts getup is sitting next to you in the waiting room for the doctor. A literal pile of muscles wearing cosplay.
Then again, furries, dinosaurs and humans coexist so who knows what's weird in that universe.

Hey, martial artists should care about their health.
"Hey, weren't you that guy at the Martial Arts tournament years back?"
"...Yes."
"Oh, great. Why did you stop?"
"...I died."
"Ohh-kay."
Piccolo is still trying to figure out the world because he is technically a teenager.
12:00 im willing to bet he tried and discovered that like, ALL of Goku's shirts are weighted.
Shudo, Gan, and Remix are all so insanely talented giving 16, 17, and 18 time to be real characters was one of the best production decision you all could have made for this season. 18 is one of my absolute favorite performances in the series, behind Cell (all three forms! With one actor! Taka's fantastic) and maybe Freeza.
Kaiser looks like a dad who just came back from his office job this episode.
The three Androids having their little GTA-esque adventures together were something I really enjoyed watching as a kid. I wish that there were more scenes of them hanging out together.
It makes sense to change the Heart Virus to just a heart attack as no one else - in or out of the group - even showed signs of catching it, despite being a virus. The only time it even was a virus was in the Budokai games
To be fair it did take like 3 years to manifest any symptoms, and that's even with Super Saiyan accelerating it.
@@battlesheep2552 True, but when it did manifest, it seemed to clung specifically to Goku. Even those who had prolonged exposure to him, such as Yamcha and Chichi, didn't seem to catch it. Trunks called it a virus, but it didn't spread further
@@AdiG1 well if it would have happened it probably did during the time skip after the Cell saga, at which point everyone just took the medicine that Bulma was able to syntesize from the dose Trunks brought back. We probably just didn't hear about it.
@battlesheep2552w we also don't know how it spread. Just because it's a virus, that doesn't mean it's airborne. Goku could have (and probably) caught it from eating alien vomit
Edit: we also don't know if it can transmit to other species. The only other full Saiyan is Vegeta and the only contact they had while he was sick was when Vegeta kicked him to piccolo
@@AdiG1 it could be that Saiyans were uniquely vulnerable to the virus. It would also explain why it is more deadly in Goku after Super Saiyan accelerated it. In the real world viruses evolutionary goals are to multiply and live in hosts, not kill them. This is why the most deadly diseases IRL came from pathogens native to other animals as hosts.
Of course this ignores Piccolo says that the people that are in contact with Goku should take a dose of the cure to Yamcha.
I LOVE that Scott mentions MistareFusion. They are such a great source of information and general breakdown of dragon ball in every facet, and so sorely under-appreciated in the dragon ball community. I don’t know anyone else in the dragon ball community that is so dedicated to creating such detailed, explained, and in-depth content on the series. I really wish they had more subscribers and views, because they deserve it.
what episode does mister fusion explain kamis tower magic in?
@@trick_of_treesnot exactly sure, there’s so many episodes they made, and the videos go into detail when any plot point or inconsistency occurs, so it would be hard to pinpoint. Without going through all the videos, I’d probably say it’s either within the Piccolo Diamao arc pt 6 or 7, or it may even be in the Cell arc videos… can’t be entirely sure without rewatching probably hours worth of content. I would really recommend just watching all of their DBD videos from start to finish, one by one, if you can and if you’re interested in it. Highly recommend it.
@jaguarnero I found it, it was episode 6 of the piccolo daimo arc and he refenced it again in episode 11 of the cell arc
16:40 the first time I ever saw that Tien scene, I was laughing so hard for about 3 minutes straight. My core was sore for days afterwards, one of the best and happiest laughs I’ve ever had
Nick's Popo delivery of "We keep getting hit by airplanes now. It's funny." at 14:42 made me wonder if that area is the DBZA equivalent of the Bermuda Triangle...and if so, that's a fate so much worse than death.
I like the idea Yamcha went to put on Goku's Gi and it just weighed a ton and a half. Man decided to keep wearing the ripped fit.
17 and 16‘s relationship feels like what a former youngest sibling feels when they find out they have a younger sibling of theirs. So they just have these feelings of oh hey I get to be the older sibling finally, and in this situation that he used to be a cool civil him and be nice to the youngest.
Nick, Scott, without any sort of exaggeration about a quarter of the things I say in daily conversations are quotes from your show, including “bitchin’”. Thank you for all of your beautiful contributions
20:48 "We have a love for callbacks and things that are circular and that come full circle." Yeah, your logo is testament to that.
Lani if you're reading these comments, I want ya to know that I am proud of the progress you've made, you've genuinely inspired my fitness journey, Thanks man
A thing I am surprised that neither Kaiser or Lani commented on at 20:00 is that the "cells are boring" joke also sets up the punchline of Piccolo's response to Cell naming himself "Cell" as boring too.
Still better than "Jiren."
Coming from a guy named after a woodwind instrument
"New clothes first, Goku's casa second"
"Ha, woman am I right 16?"
"Confirmed. She is female"
16 always cracks me up man, he's almost as good with jokes as Nappa and Guru
he's one of the "i'm hilarious" quartet for a reason lol
17: Women ☕
16: Confirmed, she is female ⛽
@@Midnight-Starfish I dunno why the gas pump emoji is perfect here but great job
I really love that, conscious or not, you used the term "Hill/Valley" to describe the plot's pace for the saga all about time travel.
The transparent and honest framing you folks remembered to make that 16, 17 and 18 aren't actually KILLING in this arc, they're just trying to live, is such a subtle and relatable message. To think that when things are frozen outside the framework of "kill Son Goku, kill Son Goku", it reminds us that only during History of Trunks were they murderers. Bar taking out Gero, the Z Fighters have a higher body count in this timeline. Having that pointed out is something I'll never stop appreciating, because it gives me a wild respect for these three.
Super unrelated but I just realized that Kaiser voiced Noboyuki Sugu in SAOA. “Oh you still think I’m a briefcase” is such a good line.
He's so good as Sugu/Oberon.
@@ToaArcan According to Kaiser, he loves playing, but can never quote him. Probably because 90% of his lines are crossing a line.
@@shadowldrago some lines? I think there are several lines crossed and broken
@@shadowldragothe gosh darn china pattern is a good one
I just watched all of that Kaiser does well playing the weirdo that is Sugu.
Kaiser. You don't have to apologize for pausing. We're here to listen to you guys talk about the show. That means pausing it quite often. This is fine. It's been enlightening to watch these (and Taka's solo shots too).
Appreciate the MistareFusion shoutout! Incredibly comprehensive and insightful Dragonball analysis!
Stumbled on these commentaries and after several episodes went to go watch the original videos, but I missed hearing all your guys jokes, background details. I’d see a scene or joke I love and immediately want to hop back here to hear you talk about it.
DBZA has a huge part of growing up for me and my friends, love being able to listen to y’all revisit this ❤
I like the theory that out of all people Gohan thinks Yamaha is cool and models his hair after him.
Tbf his only other real alternatives are his parents and the Ox King so... Yamcha it is!
That Tien scene about his shoulders and the doctor is, quite possibly, my favorite scene in all of DBZ:A. So goddamn hilarious.
I love that you took the time to let the scenario breathe.
Could have skipped a bunch of this but instead you fleshed out the characters! It is fun and makes your DBZ universe more alive, more complete and functional.
It also allows great setups / payoffs as well as callbacks.
Really; Chef’s Kiss
I’ve been watching y’all since 2011 and I just graduated college. I doubt I’ll ever see y’all at a convention but thank you for the many years of laughs and having hilarious characters whom I will quote everything they say.
Ya gotta love that, even after dumping him for the man that killed him... Bulma still supports Yamcha by having a cover of his song as her ringtone
Love this on the weekend. Also there are people already reacting to these reactions. We live in a society. Can’t wait until we have Ai reacts based on out humor and likes.
That's crazy
There is already AI reacting on RUclips videos
I never realized that "Cells are boring," was a set-up for the finale! I love these commentary videos
I always saw it more as foreshadowing that he would soon be in a life-or-death fight against Cell, which is anything but boring. But he does call Cell boring later, so it comes back like a boomerang.
I mean when i first saw it i was like i feel this is setting up for something because the two most memorable villains to me are freezer and cell as well as i forget goku says your boring me too
I like the idea that gohan thinks that people like yamcha and the ginyu force are simply cool as hell, which is why he copies them
I really look forward to these each Saturday, never worry about being a "pausy polly" Kaiser, we only get these from you two once a week
I absolutely LOVE when they pause and discuss things. If I JUST wanted to watch the episode, I would go watch the episode, the commentary with all the details included making watching the episode, literally a 100x better!
That ‘Cells are boring’ callback is crazy. I never noticed that
OMG!!!!😂 I know. I just got that today!
Hearing Krillin noises™️ is one of my favorite parts of the show
As much as Vegeta Yell™?

That might be a little bit better, depends on the yell
My take of your Tenshinhan is he's the straight serious man in a group that has a lot of strange individuals which is kinda funny when you think about his full background as a character cause he also is a strange individual but at the same time you get why he has this "role" in said group. Kinda similar to that running gag with Sideshow Mel in The Simpsons where you just have for granted that this dude who's almost always shirtless and with a bone in his hair is the usual voice of the crowd. Here you have this three eyes guy who takes great pride in his capabilities as a martial artist used to want to be an assasin and besides hanging out with this group of people he just trains along his best friend who looks like a short chinese vampire with psychic powers and even though he's reserved and stoic in nature his continious antagonistic nature towards Vegeta makes all the sense in the world cause after all Vegeta has done why would they should give him a chance with open arms? He hasn't redeemed himself! He just stoppped having the Earth as a target.
"10 pounds of nope in a 5 pound bag" is one of my favorite lines. And as a straight white kid from rural Georgia who didn't like sports, hunting, fishing or NASCAR, I totally vibe with the distaste for country music.
I do say bitchin, and I fully believe its because of you guys.
Thanks for everything you guys have made and continue making, it's made my life a whole lot better.
I love how much backstory you guys have for these episodes in their creation. I look forward to each weekend.
Much love!
And I still say “Bitchin’”
"And then she tried to bang you~"
It's the singsong way he says it that never fails to make me laugh.
Loved the Idea that 17 dyes his hair and its naturally blonde. Which would make sense because 17 and 18 are siblings.
Not only siblings but fraternal twins.
(Although my niece does have lighter hair then her twin brother right now.)
The Mass Effect franchise shows that with good character writing, long stretches of a show/game that's just character interaction can be the fans' favorite part of a property. That's how I feel about Season 3 of DBZA: the character writing is just so good that I love spending time with them all. Particularly the Androids on their road trip. The way you guys wrote them was brilliant! I couldn't wait for the next scene of theme faffing about. The dynamic between 16 and 17, in particular, is wonderful.
If I could sum up the writing for Season 3 in a single word, it'd be "Bitchin'." :^)
Edit: Also that side-by-side comparison of the various iterations of Gohan and Yamacha, tho. Made me say "Oh my god...OH MY GOD!!!" Never noticed it before but, well, oh my god!
I appreciate you guys consistently putting out such a wonderful video series that i can enjoy my lunch breaks with.
Kaiser's fit in this one looks amazing. He looks like a million bucks.
The next few episodes are, in my opinion, peak writing. The next "valley" before the Cell game being almost as good.
I just like those characters doing nothing.
That whole "airplanes hit the lookout now" line just killed me. 😂 Keep up the good work, guys!
Kaiser's hair looks so nice this episode, I'm so used to the hat! Also I love Yajirobe being shot at because the sound effect is 100% the Counter-Strike AK-47 sound, which means Dr. B just has one in the lab.
I enjoy waking up on Sunday mornings and I'll watch these commentaries before getting out of bed.
Using th B word? That sh##'s not Dingo.
Seriously though, your work with DBZA was amazing. I love how often you've been pausing the video to take us deeper into it all.
And that delivery of "Bitchin'" was flawless. Your VA for 17 was just so much fun! 😂
I didn't knew about the "Yamcha/Gohan hairstyles theory", i leaving with something new even after all these years, unbelievable 🤯
After noticing that people often die after reading the disclaimer I decided to make a full overview. Turns out the chance up until this point is 50-50.
Here is the list for anyone interested:
17 Zarbon Dies
18 Vegeta Nothing
19 Guldo Dies
20 Recoome Dies next episode
21 Burter Dies
22 Jeice Dies next episode
23 Captain Ginyu Dies
24 Guldo Dies
25 Nail Fuses into Piccolo
26 Dende Dies
27 Vegeta Gets Wrecked
28 Vegeta (wrecked) Dies
29 Krillin Dies
30 Frieza Dies (technically)
31 Turtle Nothing
32 Bulma Nothing
33 Mecha Frieza + King Cold Die
34 Yamcha Dies (but not really)
35 Yamcha Gets Wrecked
36 Android 19 Dies
37 Yajirobi Gets car wrecked
38 Dr Gero Dies
39 Chi-Chi Nothing
40 Korrin Nothing
41 Oolong Becomes a cannibal
34 Yamcha was picked because of the future hanging bit
In 34 Yamcha is chosen because future Yamcha commits suicide, hence why Yamcha complains when he does it again in 35.
Also, in 17, Vegeta gets mindbroken after having the Dragonball stolen from in and sometimes the Voicelines follow complete distress.
Oolong became a cannibal
Usually the episodes where "nothing" happens to them they're chosen because something involving them does happen--though 39 was actually Chi-Chi, not Bulma, and it was because of Goku's screaming haha. People covered Yamcha in 34, but Vegeta in 18 was his rage breaking, Turtle in 31 was for his being the birthday turtle, Bulma in 32 was dealing with Vegeta, Korin in 40 was worried about Yajirobe and Piccolo didn't update him, and Oolong here was his tasting delicious.
(Also, Freeza for 30 should count as one episode since 30 was only split into three parts due to RUclips upload limits, lol.)
To me this mainly shows how little action there is compared to the season 2. And even when there's action in season 3 there's rarely deaths Vs season 2 which had a million minions to work through.
@11:23 Love how you both saw the "how's it hanging" joke coming and intentionally stopped yourselves from pausing to let it play out! And they say you pause too often! 😂😂
Lani’s eyes as he imitates the dub piccolo/Kami was great.
Thank you for pointing out Mistar Fusion and giving him a shout out, his channel Needs more fans.
The callbacks and jokes that reappear and recirculate are some of the best reasons this show is so amazing.
