History Funny / DragonBallZAbridged

** Lanipator is also noticeably [[HoldingInLaughter holding back a chuckle]] near the end of the line.

'''Dende:''' ''(crying)'' [[LoveTriangle Your daughter's a]] ''[[JealousRomanticWitness man-stealing WHORE!]]''\\
'''Mr. Satan:''' ''(surprised)'' [[NoodleIncident ...Just like]] [[LikeMotherLikeDaughter her mother.]]

'''Goku''': ''(more annoyed than concerned)'' Vegeta, stop [[PersonAsVerb Vegeta-ing!]] You're making it worse!\\

** Of course it becomes much funnier if you realize that the reason that, for all of Gohan's vaunted abilities, Videl was asking him [[CallBack why he didn't dodge.]]

-->'''Mr. Popo:''' [[WesternAnimation/{{Futurama}} WELCOME TO THE ROOM OF INFINITE BULLSHIT!]]

* In canon, Vegeta suggests Goku use the Spirit Bomb to wipe out Buu, shortly after reviving Earth and convincing its inhabitants to lend their energy for the attack. In this version, Goku plans this, but Vegeta isn't very confident as he lampshades the... less than stellar track record of the supposed ultimate attack.

---> Fun observation: in his past fights, Cell's opponents attempted to win using showy displays of sheer force (Final Flash, Spirit Gun, [[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers a children's card game]], etc.). While possibly the weakest opponent so far, Kenshiro inflicts actual damage-and pain-by [[CombatPragmatist attacking when Cell's guard is down and striking pressure points for maximum effect]]. In short, Ken proves the most effective fighter in a martial arts anime because he fights like an ''actual freaking martial artist.''

'''Creator/StanLee:''' [[{{Catchphrase}} Excelsior]], Ghost Nappa!\\

'''Mr. Popo:''' Good. Now, let us establish the [[{{Catchphrase}} pecking order.]]\\

* [[https://youtube.com/watch?v=0EcDFx-pNYA Trunks does the 2016 merch advertisements with Vegeta managing the recording session]], and Alucard is late, [[LeaningOnTheFourthWall just like]] [[ScheduleSlip every year]]. HilarityEnsues. Then shit hits the fan when Broly escapes his box.

'''Goku:''' [[IncrediblyLamePun Well I'll be a monkey's uncle]].

'''Vegeta:''' What? She's a c(bleep)t! A c(bleep)ty c(bleep)t! [[TemptingFate Whatcha gonna do it about it]] you big ol' c(bleep)t?! Gonna c(bleep)t all over me with your c(bleep)ty face and your c(bleep)t boots and your.....[[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers VAGINA?!]]\\

'''Taka:''' ''(Laughs)'' [[TemptingFate I think we're cut]] [[LeaveTheCameraRunning at that point, right?]]\\

--->'''[=Takahata101=], in his Imperfect!Cell voice:''' Cry me a river.

* [=KaiserNeko=] finding out, in real time, that Perfect Cell's rendition of Billy Ocean's ''Suddenly'' was actually just a straight ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'' reference in the commentary for Episode 60 Part 2. He's so utterly flabbergasted by it that his memories of the production process behind that gag end up fuzzy, and both Lani and Taka have to remind him that it was a joke Taka pitched, Lani was initially against (because it was a straight Family Guy reference), and Kaiser agreed to because the song fit well enough. He's basically on the verge of losing his shit the entire time.
--->'''[=KaiserNeko=]:''' Y'all are the reason...
--->'''[=Takahata101=]:''' No, no, me.
--->'''[=KaiserNeko=]:'''...when people come to me and say "nice reference!" and I have ''no idea'' what the ''fuck'' they're talking about...
--->'''Lanipator:''' Again, him.
--->'''[=Takahata101=]:''' It is just Peter singing a song. It's not exactly the most rudimentary reference...
--->'''[=KaiserNeko=]:''' [[DisproportionateRetribution I'm gonna throw you off a cliff.]]
* The Episode 60 Part 3 commentary has Taka finally telling the story of when he met Creator/DameonClarke after he'd been cast as Abridged!Cell. The team were at [=ConnectiCon=], waiting at the bar connected to the hotel. Dameon Clarke (who was drinking at the bar) walked up to them, asked which one of them was playing Cell, to which Taka pointed himself out. Clarke then took Taka away from the group in order to hear the voice(s) he'd be using for each form of Cell. He approved the first two forms on the spot, but after hearing Perfect Cell, he lit up a cigarette and barked "Too British! Again!" Taka and Lani compared it to the "Not my tempo" scene from ''Film/{{Whiplash}}''.

** Cell applies a heaping dose of SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome on Yami Yugi by being a RulesLawyer in actually dueling Yugi, citing real life ''Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game'' tournament rules that prevent him from playing all his [[GameBreaker/YuGiOhCardGame overpowered cards]] like "Pot of Greed" and any of the God Cards. [[note]]Even funnier is that there actually ''are'' tournament-legal versions of the God Cards.[[/note]] Then he starts pointing out their choice of venue when Yugi objects. Yugi gets fed up and [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere leaves]].

* Taka finally telling the story of when he met Creator/DameonClarke after he'd been cast as Abridged!Cell; they were in the VIP section of a con, and Dameon dragged Taka outside to hear his voice(s). He approved the first two forms on the spot, but after hearing Perfect Cell, he lit up a cigarette and barked "Too British! Again!" Taka compared it to the "Not my tempo" scene from ''Whiplash''.
** Also Dameon's assessment of Taka's Semi-Perfect Cell boiled down to "[[SoBadItsGood That sucks, it's perfect]]."

* Trunks claiming that he's come [[EstrogenBrigade because they have no female fanbase]], followed by Bulma flirtatiously saying they do now. Since they used a soundfile from ''VideoGame/DragonBallFighterz'', it also leads to [=KaiserNeko=] briefly turning into Creator/EricVale.

* Cell abruptly shapeshifting into his Semi-Perfect form, which is followed by Tien's Shin Kikoho in the style of VideoGame/DragonBallFighterZ. Complete with Tien's side showing a [=KOed=] Piccolo and 16 on his team.

'''Kaiser:''' That gets quoted to me a lot.\\

** Following Taka's arrival he almost always screws up the outro in reference to him frequently needing line reads in the booth.

''([[ActuallyPrettyFunny [=Takahata101=]]] and Lanipator lose it, then Lanipator high-fives [=KaiserNeko=])''\\

* The ''Episode of Bardock'' commentary immediately starts with Taka pointing out how Kaiser intentionally lowers his voice when reading the disclaimer for this special, which leads Lani remarking that this is his "[=TF2=] Push the Cart" voice. Kaiser points out that [[ProfessionalVoiceDissonance no one in-game would likely take him seriously in his normal voice]], so he deepens it when speaking in [=TF2=]'s public rooms. Lani notes out how it sounds like an impression of Creator/PatrickWarburton, which quickly leads to the three doing impressions of Kaiser playing ''VideoGame/TeamFortress2'' while the editor overlays their faces with [[WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy various]] [[Series/TheTick roles]] [[WesternAnimation/TheEmperorsNewGroove that]] Warburton has done.
* For the Meta Cooler movie, Taka goes into detail with the dick-kicking jokes for Vegeta and says it was his job to be the one to push a joke as far as he could, then for the other two to pull him back when he inevitably took it too far.
-->'''Lani''': There's a thousand of them, you could see him being held in a full nelson and...the mental image is just him being in a full nelson and each of them just conga lining him.\\

* During their bout in the Junior Division finals, Trunks has trouble trying to ring out Goten but considers worthy enough as the son of Goku. Goten's thoughts on the other hand...

** It bears repeating: Ghost Goku. Imagine Vegeta having [[IdiotHero that]] haunting him, if [[CloudCuckoolander Ghost Nappa]] drove Vegeta to near insanity it's little wonder he was forced to find a therapist for Goku's apparitions.

* The whole discussion at Capsule Corp is a whole case of RapidFireComedy, especially once Goku starts talking to everyone with help from King Kai. The fact that Vegeta actually responds in horror that he ''might'' be hearing voices again and his response to Goku's claims of being real implies that his whole episode with Ghost Nappa is a ''recurring'' problem (but now with Goku), so much so that Vegeta was forced to get a '''''court-ordered therapist'''''.

* In ''DBZA Creator Commentary: Best of Season 1'' just as Piccolo lays dying after protecting Gohan from Nappa things get... [[https://youtu.be/85VQS8JewOY?t=906 weird.]]
-->'''Piccolo:''' Why... didn't... you... DOOOOOOODGE!? [[BreakingTheFourthWall ...You know, like it says on that guy's shirt over there.]]\\
'''Lani:''' ''(Suddenly wearing the "DODGE" t-shirt)'' The fu...? When did I put this on!?\\
'''Kaiser:''' When did--I know--I ''always'' see when you take your shirt off!\\
'''Lani:''' And... ''(Addressing the video)'' Hold up, were you just talking at us?\\
'''Piccolo:''' Yeah. Why, is that weird?\\
'''Lani:''' Dude, our video is talking at us...\\
'''Kaiser:''' Ohhh, it's breaking the fourth wall! This is ''so'' season one!\\
'''Lani:''' Oh my fucking GOD, Piccolo, you're so cringe.\\
'''Piccolo:''' You're calling me cringe, but you're wearing me on your chest.

* When Webvideo/TotallyNotMark was doing the 23rd World Martial Arts Tournament/Piccolo Jr. review, he teamed up with Team Four Star on Kid Goku meeting Mr. Popo, resulting in this:

** When they both realize they have to re-watch a whole bunch of early mistakes they made before they found their footing with the Abridged series, Lani pulls out a container of antacids, noting how they'll need it to get through the first season. Not even five minutes into watching the first episode, he breaks it open, giving some to Kaiser as well.
* In the [[https://youtu.be/TEb0PNg80Yg creator commentary]] for ''Kai Abridged'' episodes #1 & #2, this gem occurs when Lanipator and [=KaiserNeko=] discuss "That's not funny! It's never been funny! It's never gonna be funny!" being [[AscendedMeme referenced]] in the official [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW IDW]] ''[[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW Sonic]]'' [[ComicBook/SonicTheHedgehogIDW comics]].
-->'''Lanipator:''' As a [[UsefulNotes/FurryFandom furry]], that's gotta ring true in your heart somewhere, that you got referenced in ''Sonic''.\\

'''Pilaf:''' [[ItWasHereISwear He was here!]] [[CassandraTruth He just popped out of nowhere!]]\\

-->'''[=Takahata101=], in his Imperfect!Cell voice:''' Cry me a river.

** The deleted scene of Goku's encounter with Emperor Pilaf while interrogating his past enemies in search of the destoryer of South Galaxy.

-->''(Pilaf hums to himself as he makes breakfast before Goku suddenly appears behind him)''\\

'''Shu:''' Sh sh, there's nobody here, sire. It's just you and me.\\
'''Pilaf:''' [[CassandraTruth He was here! He just popped out of nowhere!]]\\
'''Shu:''' Have you taken your meds, sire? ''(hands Pilaf a pill bottle)'' Here, here, take your meds.''\\
'''Pilaf:''' Oh, okay. Thank you Shu. ({{Beat}}) [[WhatHappenedToTheMouse Where's Mai?]] ''(Goku suddenly returns)''\\
'''Goku:''' And another thing! ''(Pilaf and Shu scream in terror)''

'''Shu:''' Have you taken your meds, sire? ''(hands Pilaf a pill bottle)'' Here, here, take your meds.\\
