    DBZ Abridged - Episodes - Other 
  • The *POP* sound that accompanies each time Goku uses the Instant Transmission technique.
  • Nappa's year-long Are We There Yet?, which at first seems to come to a rather anticlimactic end ("Yay!") only to be brought back in a wonderfully unexpected way: "Is he here yet?"
  • They turned Recoome into a pastiche of pro wrestlers, most prominently The Rock, in one ball of wrestling hilarity. And apparently, as episode 20 shows, Goku is Hulk Hogan.
  • And then there's this:
    Gohan: I swear, I don't even know what's going on anymore.
  • Guru has two words for everyone.
    Guru: Drop it!
  • In their trailer for Dragon Ball Z: Battle of Gods, they pose the question of whether or not they will abridge it. No. No they won't. After citing the many characters that the abridged series hasn't gotten anywhere near (the entire Buu saga), they add that Toei would probably kill them.
    • However, maybe they can do the Hatchiyack special.
  • "Hey Vegeta, Happy Freeza Day". Nappa and Vegeta get together for old times sake to bring Freeza Day to the survivors of the bug planet. There's also Nappa convincing Vegeta to celebrate Freeza Day with him... by calling him at 3 AM.
    Nappa: (over the phone) Aw, come on Vegeta! Just one more Freeza Day together for old time's sake! I hear the survivors of the bug planet colonized a new one!
    Vegeta: ...well, it has been a while...
    Nappa: (bursts into the room) That's the spirit!
    Vegeta: HUAAAAAAAAAA(cut off by title card)
  • Set most any episode on YouTube to subtitles of the language "English (Canada)". There, you get lots of jokes and funny stuff. Such as what Vegeta really said in his Hurricane of Euphemisms in the Stinger for Episode 19.
    • Frequently, the attributions for quotes will change the names of characters to insults just made of the characters.
  • Goku and Vegeta contribute to the "feral hogs" meme.
  • Masako does a dub of this comic in his Abridged Goku and Gohan voices, where Goku of all people is doing taxes.
    Gohan: Dad? Are you doing taxes?
    Goku: Yeah. Don't tell your mother I know how to do this.
    Gohan: Huh. Now I've seen everything.

    DBZ Abridged - Cell Vs. 
  • Cell Vs. Yusuke Urameshi Yusuke and Kuwabara drop in to challenge Cell... until he asks which one of them can vaporize an entire planet with their weapons. They wisely pack up and leave.
    Yusuke: (muttering) Pompous green asshole, I'll show you what my middle finger can do...
  • Cell Vs. Yami Yugi has the King of Games challenge Cell... and end up cutting the wind out of Cell's sails when Yugi's boasts end up building up to a card game. Cell actually thinks he's getting Punk'd!
    Cell: Which one is it - Ashton or Jamie?! Oh, please don't let it be Bam Margera...!
    • Cell's actually napping when Yami arrives.
    • When Cell realizes that Yami Yugi's challenging him to a children's card game, he almost immediately agrees to play and tries to learn the rules despite the Cell Games being a martial arts tournament.
      Yami: I'm trying to duel you! ...In "Duel Monsters"?
      Cell: "Duel Monsters"?
      Yami: It's a children's card game! Ancient Egyptians loved it!
      Cell: (cheerfully) F*ck, I'm down! How do we play?
    • Yami Yugi legitimately thought it was a Duel Monsters tournament and is sincerely confused that Cell doesn't have a deck of cards to duel him with.
      Yami: Where's your deck?
      Cell: My d-d-d-d, d-d-d-d-deck?
    • Cell applies a heaping doses of Rules Lawyer on Yami Yugi in dueling him, citing real life Yu-Gi-Oh! Trading Card Game tournament rules that prevent him from playing all his overpowered cards like "Pot of Greed" and any of the God Cards. note  Then he starts pointing out their choice of venue when Yugi objects. Yugi gets fed up and leaves.
      • It becomes Hilarious in Hindsight in February 2018 when 2 of the cards Cell mentioned as being banned were unbanned. (Monster Reborn was brought back to 1 and Brain Control was moved off the list entirely)
  • Cell Vs. Ryu and Ken shows Ryu and Ken picking a fight with Cell in a short guest animated by DasBoSchitt of The Gmod Idiot Box fame.
    • To reiterate the guest animation aspect, the video opens to Cell examining his now three-dimensional hands.
      Cell: Hmm? I feel different.
    • Ryu being the Comically Serious.
      Ryu: The only way warriors can truly communicate is with our fists.
      Cell: What about our... mouths?
    • Ken fights Cell. This goes as well as you'd expect.
      • The interface that appears during so names Cell Mr. P. Cell while Ken's named Weirdface Ken.
      • Ken's Super gets parried (with [TECH BONUS] notifications popping up in the subtitles). The subtitles refer to it as the inverse of EVO Moment #37 (Moment 1/37)
    • Ryu tapping into the Satsui No Hado is normally a serious matter, until we see it from Cell's view and without the dramatic music or aura, where it just looks like Ryu is squatting and twitching awkwardly.
      Cell: ...Have you tried praying it away?
    • Evil Ryu attacks Cell, causing the screen to go black with impact flashes all over. The next shot is Evil Ryu on the ground unconscious.
      Cell: WHAT JUST HAPPENED?!
      • Cell's reaction to the whole thing is hilarious since that means that he countered the Raging Demon accidentally.
    • Ken drops down in a cloud of dust as the announcer declares Perfect Cell the winner, with a perfect no less.
  • In Cell Vs. Sonic & Knuckles, the Blue Blur and Rad Red speed into the arena to take on Cell, again animated by DasBoSchitt.
    • The video begins with Cell humming "Escape from the City" to himself before the challengers arrive.
    • Cell defeats Sonic's speed with copious use of the Multi Form Technique and Instant Transmission, making it look like he's fast enough to even sell chili dogs while fighting people.
    • After Cell demonstrates his power by spiking Knuckles into the ground (and in an obvious turn of events), Sonic has little other choice but to use the Chaos Emeralds to go Super... only to end up pulling out nothing.
      Cell: (chuckles) You mean the Chaos Emeralds? (the Emeralds begin to rotate around him, set to Sonic CD's USA Boss music)
      • When Sonic tries to summon the Chaos Emeralds, there's a very faint The Legend of Zelda "item acquisition" jingle that peters out when nothing happens.
      • Even funnier (or scarier) with the knowledge that Cell later transforms into Super Perfect Cell...
      • But what makes this especially Hilarious in Hindsight is this post from the official Sonic the Hedgehog Twitter that stated they didn't want to participate because they didn't want to make Cell jealous of their "Super Sonic Swagger". Turns out Sonic didn't even get the chance to show off his swagger in the first place!
    • With that, Sonic realizes just how out of his league he is and bolts, leaving Knuckles behind.
      Knuckles: Wait, hold on! You're my ride! Aw, man! (looks up at the Cells and laughs nervously) Sorry, I'm, uh... not as... fast as him. Uh, hang on. (jumps, then glides before sliding along the ground; repeat until he finally leaves) I really... UGH!... wish I could do more than glide...
    • The ending? The start of the infamous Sonic Says PSA regarding sexual harassment. After he casually throws away the Chaos Emeralds.
      • Particularly notable is that he stops at "Nothing more cool than being hugged by someone you like". This being Cell, of course he stops there.
  • Cell Vs. Kenshiro has the master of Hokuto Shinken briefly battle Perfect Cell.
    • Cell lampshades how Kenshiro is "a man of few words", only to get cut off in the middle of his sentence.
    • Kenshiro's shirt tears off when he flexes, but after Cell explodes the first time, it's magically back on.
      Cell: [watching his shirt rip off] Okay, but WHY, though?
    • Kenshiro manages to use his signature "Hokuto Hyakuretsu Ken" attack on Cell. Since it doesn't seem to do any immediate, Cell laughs it off at first, before he explodes... only to quickly regenerate himself to express his pain.
      Cell: ARGH! CHRIST! Did anyone ever tell you you're already an asshole?!
    • It turns out that Kenshiro isn't interested in stopping Cell's plans, but rather, he just wanted to eat Cell's "bug meat".
      Kenshiro: Are you going to eat that? (points at Cell's hand on the ground)
      Cell: NO. NO, I AM NOT.
      Kenshiro: Well... May I?
      Cell: Sure. Make it your last meal. Because after that, you're dead.
      Kenshiro: No, you are. Already. Again.
      Cell: (yells in pain as he explodes a second time)
    • This observation from the YouTube comments:
      Fun observation: in his past fights, Cell's opponents attempted to win using showy displays of sheer force (Final Flash, Spirit Gun, a children's card game, etc.). While possibly the weakest opponent so far, Kenshiro inflicts actual damage-and pain-by 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.
    • There is also Ken's Funny Bruce Lee Noises that end with what the subtitles onomatopoetically expresses as 'Awa-wa-wa-wa-wa' when he finishes his attack.
    • When Cell first explodes, Kenshiro (with his torn clothes regenerated) gets sprayed by all his gore, but is clean in the next shot... only to be sprayed by more gore when Cell explodes again.
    • This particular short has generated the fan theory that, if these shorts are canon, then it's Kenshiro's fault that Goku can't defeat Cell. note 
    • Thus far, Kenshiro, without any magical powers, super modes, ancient artifacts, or demonic energies, is the only person in the Cell Vs. series to defeat Cell. Hell, he's the only one that's made him feel any sort of appreciable pain. Way to go, normal guy.
  • Cell Vs. Light Yagami, A.K.A "Suicidal Overconfidence the Fight."
  • Cell is really losing his patience when Saitama and Genos show up.
    Cell: Oh my-I'm a sundial for pests! ...I needed to be specific. I needed to be way more specific with my message.
  • Cell Vs. Ash Ketchum
    • Cell is at his wit's end as Ash and his friends approach, complaining about everyone else who dropped in.
    • Misty proves to be a major Deadpan Snarker here.
      Pokédex: (upon not figuring out who Cell is) Data not found.
      Misty: And technology has failed us again.
      • To add to that, the Pokédex displays a Missingno when failing to scan Cell. Technically he really is a "Missing Number", after all.
    • Cell's silent disgust as Brock corrects Cell that Charizard is not a Dragon-type Pokémon. And after Cell was legitimately delighted that Ash had a Charizard, too.
      • Even funnier since this seems to be implied to be the early Johto team (Squirtle and Charizard are still there, Brock knows what a Steel-type is, etc.), meaning they haven't discovered Mega Evolution, which would have made Charizard part Dragon-type.
        Cell: Hold on, is that an actual dragon!? Because, I'll be honest, that's pretty metal!
        Brock: Actually, it's neither a Dragon-type, nor a Steel-type.
        Cell: [silent frown]
    • Cell sends Team Rocket blasting off again before they finish their intro scene. Misty and Brock don't actually care if they're okay. Of course, knowing this is Team Rocket, they probably are.
    • Cell is completely in the dark about Pokémon, wondering what they are and how their name, Pocket Monster, doesn't really make sense as they are on Ash's belt and should therefore be called Ball Monsters or Duel Monsters. Which leads to him directly comparing Pokémon to Duel Monsters.
    • At the very end, when Mewtwo flies by:
      Cell: Is that f*cking Freeza?
  • Deadpool vs. Cell?! Whoo, boy...
    • Right away; the medium used to showcase this showdown? Garry's Mod. Presumably because Deadpool hadn't appeared in anything that meshed well enough with Dragon Ball Z's visual aesthetic. The animator being DasBoSchitt, a prolific comedy-centric Garry's Mod shows particularly well, turning blood-soaked violence into complete and utter slapstick.
    • How does he enter? He sneaks up behind Cell, and asks "Did you know the mitochondria is your powerhouse?"
    • The Merc with a Mouth has been contracted to kill Cell! Who is the person behind it? Nappa. Just so he can have his crossover movie with Spider-Man.
      Nappa: (After hanging up) All right, Mr. Lee, it's happening.
      Stan Lee: Excelsior, Ghost Nappa!
      Nappa: I'm not a gho— (exasperated sigh) It-it's been like a season, dude, come on.
      • The picture Nappa gives to Deadpool? Meruem.
    • At one point, Cell blasts Deadpool, counts down from five and then blasts him again while humming Hollaback Girl to himself. Then this happens.
      Deadpool: GOD DAMN IT! Now listen here, you overgrown Bad Dragon toy... (Cell blasts him again)
      [Captioner's notice: Kids, don't Google that.]
    • Just the way Deadpool trolls against Cell is friggin' hilarious.
      Cell: So you're, so you're one of those X-Mans.
      Deadpool: Ohhh no. No no no no no no. I mean, sure, I help them out from time to time, but that's like, when the world's in danger!
      Cell: Zero to pissed in a moment, my goodness you have talent.
    • When Deadpool mentions he's being contracted to kill Cell...
    • Case in point, the Running Gag of Deadpool slicing off Cell's arms, Cell blasting Deadpool repeatedly in the head and the Merc with a Mouth getting back up more pissed each time.
      Cell: Swords? Buddy, I've got a boy with lavender hair who can give you a rundown on how poorly that's gonna work out for- where is my arm? (sees Deadpool waving his own arm at him) I stand corrected. Also lopsided.
      (later)
      Cell: It's not even that funny. So how about you take your swords, your guns, (camera pans out to show him missing both arms when trying to do Air Quotes) and your "references" and— (Late to the Realization that his arms are gone, with Deadpool using them as a chair)
    • Cell repeatedly beams Deadpool in the head to "kill" him, only for Deadpool to come back each time and keep staining the ring with his blood. While this doesn't kill him, being shot in the head repeatedly still makes Deadpool angry:
      Deadpool: OKAY! THAT DOES IT! (teleports closer to Cell) I'm pretty sure I'm losing memories of my childhood now! And while I'm more than happy to part with my dear memories of Uncle Mickey and his van, I can't risk losing the first time I touched a boob at chess camp!
    • How does Deadpool exit? He gets called by Logan on a Code Phoenix. And Deadpool is very fed up with this, saying it comes up almost every month. Deadpool goes so far to as to tell Wolvy not to kill her this time, to the latter's confusion and annoyance.
      Wolverine: What the FUCK did you just—
      White Text Box: Do you think he remembers X3?
      Yellow Text Box: Nobody remembers X3.
    • Before leaving, he assures Cell that he can be reached on both Tinder and Grindr, and Yelp! With the Grindr profile containing a number of great jokes before capping off with this.
      About: Sodomy? Sodomyou! If you're looking for a good time, I've got 7.5 reasons to hit me up! If you're tall and green, that's a plus! (Except the Hulk. Never the Hulk. Not again.)
    • How does the fight end? Deadpool casually slicing off Cell's head.
      Deadpool: One for the road!
      Headless Cell: UGH! I HOPE YOUR SEQUEL BOMBS!
      Deadpool: (bluntly) It won't.
      • A bonus note: The audio mixing on Cell's line is arranged to sound like it's coming from the severed head laying on the ground.
      • On another bonus note, right before Deadpool decapitates him Cell muses about if Bea Arthur is still alive or not. The implication seeming to be that Deadpool decided to behead him just for that.
      • For anyone wondering, Deadpool 2 boxed $733.2 million, so safe to say it didn't bomb.
    • And in Marvel fashion, there's a post-credits scene with Takahata101 Deadpool arguing with Xander Mobus Deadpool, as Taka wanted to "go toe-to-toe with himself".
  • Two and a half years since the last Cell VS. battle, it's "Cell VS. Bobby Hill"

    DBZ Abridged - Specials 
  • We end up getting to see Episode 2... kind of.
  • Subscriber Special: After hearing there were at least 9k subscribers, the usual question was asked, however, this happens.note 
    Nappa: You mean?
    Vegeta: It's...
    Nappa: It's (getting excited)
    Vegeta: It's over...
    Nappa: It's over? (really excited)
    Vegeta: It's over 8000!
    Nappa: What? 8..(gets confused), wait, what? Vegeta, you didn't do it right.
    Vegeta: Yes I did, Nappa. Yes I did.
  • In the lead-up to Episode 6, we get King Yemma's bad day.
  • The Halloween Special:
    Professor: Well, what's your costume?
    Popo: Oh, I'm not in costume. Yet. Hold on. [cut to clip of the Cloverfield monster, with Popo's maniacal laughter]
    • From the same special Nappa's costume:
      Nappa [Dressed as Broly]: I'm Vic Mignogna! Ah, my poor vocal cords!
  • Four Words: Banana on a tricycle unicycle.
    • Heck, the entire FAQ is one big CMOF.
    • The obnoxious salaryman... er, fan. That is all.
      Salaryman: Can I be Hercule?
      Vegeta: No, now go away!
      Salaryman: What about Cutter?
      Vegeta: I SAID GO— wait, what? Who the hell is Cutter?
      Salaryman: You guys suck! I'm gonna go complain about it on my LiveJournal.
      Vegeta: Oh yes, I'm sure your mother reads it religiously.
      • (For those wondering, Cutter is the name of the leader of the Space Orphans that appear at the beginning of Episode 12.)
    • Also-
      Obnoxious Fan: Can I be Oozaru?
      Vegeta: I DON'T KNOW! LET'S ASK HIM!
      Oozaru: ROAR! (Fires blast of energy from his mouth at the Obnoxious Fan.)
      Obnoxious Fan: Owww!
    • Finally, he wants to be Vegeta, so Vegeta finally humors him, and he emulates Brian Drummond of Ocean Group.
      Obnoxious Fan: Ahem... Let's see what you've got, Kakarot! Galick Gun FIRE!!!
      Vegeta: Oh, GO F*CK YOURSELF!
    • Nappa answering the question of who writes and edits the show.
      Nappa: Well, it's edited by the Tiger Kitty!
      Vegeta: KaiserNeko, Nappa!
      Nappa: Kaiser Cat!
      Vegeta: Neko!
      Nappa: Meow! (pair of cat ears pops up on his head)
  • There's also the second FAQ special. Yamcha tries to answer a question, and is blown up by a Saibaman.
  • The Blooper Reels. Both of them.
    • Krillin may be motivated with the Spirit Bomb on the outside, but on the inside...
  • The AWA special:
    Nappa: Hey. Vegeta. Check out that cosplayer over there. They're hot!
    Vegeta: Goddamnit, Nappa, stop breaking the fourth... whoa, wow, she is hot.
    Nappa: I'm talking about that guy over there! The L cosplayer!
    Vegeta: Nappa, that's just a guy in a white sweatshirt.
    Nappa: Yeah, like I said. L.
    Vegeta: Are you telling me that counts as a cosplay?
    Nappa: Yep!
    Vegeta: F***ing cop-out.
    • Later:
    Nappa: Does this mean we've offended everyone?
    Vegeta: One second let me think... Dragonball the Movie.
    Nappa: (laughs) Ah, high school.
  • In the middle of the ConnectiCon 2011 announcement.
    Announcer: ...Wait a minute, this is missing something. Hey, Nappa, say something funny.
    Nappa: My parents died in a tragic space accident when I was only a child. That's why I can never grow up.
    Announcer: Ha ha, oh Nappa.
  • Nappa and the other bald characters' parody of Lady Gaga's Born This Way.
    • After the music stops, some of the reactions are priceless:
      Nappa: Tien, what are you doing?! That was your line!
      Tien: Yeah, I'm not doing it.
      Nappa: I thought we talked about this.
      Tien: Yeah. You talked. I said no.
      Nappa: Look. It took a long time to put this together. Piccolo's in the outfit!
      Piccolo: (covered in plush Yoshis) I'm in the outfit.
      Tien: That's because you have no friends.
      Piccolo: (stops smiling and runs off sobbing offscreen)
      Nappa: What the f***, Tien?
      Krillin: Oh, geez!
      Tien: I am. Not. Doing. Your stupid. Song. Parody.
      Nappa: Why?!
      Tien: F*** you, that's why.
  • The Anime Evolution 2010 promo;
    Guru: Nail... Naaaaaail!
    Nail: What is it, Lord Guru?
    Guru: Do you know what I love about Canada?
    Nail: ...Sir, there's nothing to love about Canada.
    Guru: Nail...
    Nail: No, seriously, it's the only place more boring than here-
    Guru: Nail! None of that.
    Nail: (Sighs) What is that you love about Canada, sir?
    Guru: I love... their moose!
    Moose: Hurr!
    Nail: (Makes a surprised yelp)
  • Ladies and gentlemen. We present to you: "Captain Ginyu Style!"
  • Takahata101 attending a Dragon Ball Z Kai panel at Sakura-Con:
    Takahata: Dragon Ball Kai is Dragon Ball Z essentially, right?
    Chris Sabat: You could say that.
    Takahata: It's shortened, correct?
    Chris Sabat: Right.
    Takahata: It's redubbed, right?
    Chris Sabat: In a way, yes.
    Takahata: It's partially rewritten, correct?
    Chris Sabat: It is completely rewritten, yes.
    Takahata (Nappa voice): Way to be four years late to that party!
  • At the 2014 Anime Midwest Convention, a fan asked Lanipator to perform a hypothetical meeting between Vegeta and Mr. Popo. Watch it here.
    Vegeta: What the hell is that?
    Mr. Popo: Oh hello, didn't realize they stacked crap that high.
    Vegeta: Listen here, you son of a-(gets punched off the lookout) BAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Mr. Popo: Bye, maggot! Enjoy the climb back up! (laughs)
  • The alternate takes of Krillin's death at the hands of Freeza.
    Krillin: YOLO! (boom)
    Krillin: Someone set me up the bomb! (boom)
    Krillin: I've heard of an explosive temper, but this is ridiculou-(boom)
    Krillin: Hey, guys! Look! It's my Chiaotzu impression! Goodbye, Tie-(boom)
  • The alternate take from episode 30's ending.
    Dr Briefs: Finally, we're rid of all those dang ni-
    Bulma: DAD!!!
    Dr Briefs: I was gonna say Namekians!
    Bulma: **Beat** ...No you weren't.
    Dr Briefs: No I wasn't. **He was about to say Yoshi.**
  • The alternate take of Goku escaping Namek. He presses the muffin button, but gets a cookie instead. The result is a Big "NO!" as the planet explodes
  • The alternate take of Yamcha's suicide. The rope he hung himself with? It was Puar using his shape-shifting.
  • A deleted scene from episode 43, the Democratic People's Republic of Korea tries to save the day with their military. Keyword being tries. Their missiles launched and... proceeded to all malfunction at the same time and fall back down, causing the PRK army to run in the name of the glorious People's Republic.
    • Cue jokes from from the fandom that North Korea's weapons are so out of date that this is exactly what would happen in real life.
  • The deleted scene from Episode 44 had Yamcha take the Idiot Ball in full by saying that, yes, Goku and Gohan both would go fight the evil, killer androids in the presence of resident Mama Bear Chi-Chi. Oolong tries to get him to stop.
    Oolong: Yamcha, as the man-pig that's known you for longer than everyone else in this room... shut up!
    Chi-Chi: (Sweetly) Hey, Yamcha? When you fall asleep tonight... don't fall asleep tonight.
    • There's also Gohan's reply to Chi-Chi telling him that they're not going to fight the androids, but instead go back to living their nice and peaceful life while Gohan becomes a doctor/lawyer/scientist.
  • Celloween: Krillin using his (pen)ultimate attack, SOLAR FLARE.
    Kid: We on a plane, mama.
    Krillin: *Smiling, then realizes, thinking* Wait, that's not my ultimate attack, I thought the Kienz... AH GODDAMMIT EVERY TIME.
    • The fact that Cell avoided Krillin's Solar Flare by blinking.
    • And the ending, it turns out to be a dream, and guess who is at Kame HouseNote.
      Krillin: Oh man, I had the craziest dream! Cell was there!
      Piccolo: Well the androids are here! *points towards 16, 17, and 18*
      17: Yo.
      (Krillin shrieks)
      • Made funnier in Episode 45 where it turns out the dream is influenced by the news that Piccolo was watching while the others were sleeping. Krillin even murmurs some of his dialogue from the short in his sleep.
    • The sheer audacity that literally everyone but Cell is voiced by Lanipator.
  • The April Fools joke episode, "Broly", which is actually the Abridgimon Movie.
    • What made it funnier was that it was spelled "Brolly".
  • In their second batch of DBcember 2016 villains, the cast inevitably gets to Nappa, so they tied up and gagged Taka in the storage room for the duration. Naturally, he breaks free before they can finish.
    Taka: (in Nappa voice) There is no Taka, now. There is only Nappa.
  • For their tenth anniversary TFS sat down and binged Episodes 1 through 59. Laughs are to be had all throughout, especially in the beginning where the guys are often cringing at a great deal of old shame, but one very early on features in Episode 3 where Bulma is wearing the scouter she absolutely should not have yet. Lani and Taka get hyped up seconds before it happens and when the scene cuts to her they start cheering wildly blasting stock airhorn sounds (and in Taka's case running around the room) while. Kaiser can only bury his face in his hands out of sheer embarrassment as Lani and Taka chant at him.
    Lani: Oh shit! HERE IT COMES!
    Kaiser: Nooooo! I hate you all! (The scene cuts to Bulma)
    Lani and Taka: YEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
    (Lani cackles as Taka runs around the room and sits down)
    Lani and Taka: SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME! SHAME!
    Kaiser: (Trying not to laugh) I just didn't... have the... tools to remove it...! [...] Oh my god, we're three episodes in! Oh my god, what have I done? What have I done!?
  • When Totally Not Mark 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:
    Goku: Um, are you... God?
    Mr. Popo: Ha! Not the one you're looking for.

    Mouri: Here.
    Freeza: Good. Kill him!
    Mouri: But the thing! (Neck Snap)
  • Instead of Freeza or Dodoria in the shower, the Solar Flare gag instead has Lanipator dressed as Dr. Frank-N-Furter at TFS' first 18+ panel at Youmacon.
  • Vegeta's infamous scream is so powerful this time that it crashes the Adobe Flash plugin. And then he smashes through the error screen.note 
    • Prior to this, Vegeta's continuous maniacal laughter as he breaks out of Freeza's ship, steals Freeza's Dragon Balls as he leaves, kills Zarbon, and takes the Dragon Ball the good guys had. With what is most likely music from Jonny Quest in the background.
    • Second place goes to Krillin, which manages to keep his scream going for the entire time Vegeta is at their cave.
      Krillin: AAAAAHHHHHHH-No seriously though. Where's Gohan?
  • Vegeta: Hey guys, you remind me of some assholes I'm about to kill!
  • Goku's arrival takes out the Ginyu Force in a massive explosion. Unfortunately, his ship crashing on top of them also took him out of commission - what're the odds?
    Vegeta: Put him in... (turns head) The Pod.
    (cue zoom in as a dramatic musical sting plays before the scene abruptly cuts to Goku inside of the pod)
    Goku: (thinking) I wonder if this'll become a trend?
  • When Porunga is summoned:
    Gohan: So, what are we—
    Krillin: Bring Piccolo back!
    Piccolo: Yeah!
    Krillin: Now bring him to Namek!
    Piccolo: NOOOOO—(Poof!)—OOOOOOO!!
  • Vegeta threatens to kill Dende's parents if he's not made immortal.
  • Porunga dies right before Vegeta can get his immortality.
    Vegeta: ... Wait, am I immortal?
    Freeza: I don't know! Let's see...
    Krillin: Oh ho ho, he's pissed!
  • Goku and Vegeta when grabbed by Freeza:
    Goku and Vegeta: No, Freeza-dono, yamete! Translation
  • And what follows...
    Freeza: I'm sorry, what were you on about before?
    Vegeta: I'm a Super Saiya-*CRACK* *WUNCH*
    Freeza: Apologies, still can't make it out.
    Vegeta: (slurring) I'm a Super Saiy- (Freeza throws him into a nearby plateau)
    Freeza: And now to finish the-
    Goku: Hey! Let that Vegeta alone!
    Freeza: What the hell is he?
    Vegeta: (slurring) He's a Super Saiya- (cue Death Beam)
  • When Goku starts charging the Spirit Bomb:
    Freeza: Stop it.
    Goku: No.
    Freeza: Stop it!
    Goku: No!
    Freeza: STOP! IT!
    Goku: (blows raspberry)
    Freeza: That's it! Stopping it myself! (Goku throws the Spirit Bomb) What the—
    Unreal Tournament Announcer: DOMINATING!
    Freeza: Eep!
  • After the Spirit Bomb.
    Gohan: We won, dad!
    Goku: And we didn't even lose Krill— (Krillin explodes with a "QUACK!") Aw, swizzlesticks!
    Freeza: JK, not dead, LOL.
  • Piccolo gets shot by Freeza ("Agh, right in the tit!"), leaving Gohan to say Piccolo's line instead.
    Gohan: Piccolo... Why...didn't...you...DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODGE?!?!?
    • In the Episode Breakdown, KaiserNeko refers to the line as "the biggest missed opportunity in the entire series".
  • The running gag of referring to the Dragon Balls as "things". Which may or may not be a reference to Krillin's off-hand comment about Freeza's metaphor about Old Space Yeller.
    Krillin: How is that a thing?!
    • The title for the episode is DragonThing Z Kai: Episode 2.
  • Kami collects the Dragon Balls and informs King Kai.
    Kami: King Kai, we have the things.
    King Kai: Do the thing!
  • The entire exchange between Freeza and Super Saiyan Goku. Goku punches him exactly once, Freeza calls him a prick and proceeds to destroy the core of the planet.
    Goku: Uh oh, spaghetti— [BOOM]
  • The Overly Long Gag with Guru's name - he instead wishes to be called "Super Mega Ultra Alpha Omega Hyper-" getting drowned out by Nail saying he'll be at it for a while. He finishes off with "Bigger, Longer, and Uncut Guru".
    • It starts at 1:47 and continues on to Gohan's arrival at 2:35.
  • And Guru's last words:
  • Freeza's wish for immortality being thwarted.
    Freeza: Make me immortal!
    Porunga: <OR MAYBE YOU LEARN TO SPEAK GODDAMN NAMEKIAN>.
  • Freeza using the "Kien-structo Disc" to hit Goku... only to cut himself apart immediately after throwing it.
    Freeza: How!?
    (Freeza's dismembered body lands on the ground)
    Goku: ...Soooo, which way's your ship?
    (Freeza's severed left arm lands next to him, pointing)
    Freeza: (weakly) That... way.
  • Dodoria's death scene.
    Vegeta: 'Sup, Chubs McKenzey, any last words before I kill you?
    Dodoria: I have a thick...meaty...vagina.
    (stunned silence for two seconds, then Vegeta obliterates Dodoria and gags)
  • Cui's appearance.
    Vegeta: I'm on Namek now!
    Cui: Hey, Vegeta.
    Vegeta: Hi, Cui. (blasts him) Bye, Cui.
    • As a bonus, Krillin can still be heard in the background, screaming "We're all gonna diiiiie!"
  • Dende getting a Borderlands-style intro screen which says "Little Green: White Mage", and then saying "My parents are dead!"
    • Said intro screen also had The Heavy's "Short Change Hero" playing in the background.
    • With a few exceptions, all of his lines being, "Hey" in the same tone of voice, with half-lidded eyes. Usually directed at Gohan.
  • Goku turning Super Saiyan:
    Goku: This...ruffles my jimmies! (turns Super Saiyan with the rib-crushing squeak)
    Goku: [Stands there in mortified silence.] ...Take Piccolo and leave.
    Gohan: Right.
  • And then Freeza's reaction to it:
    Freeza: ...OK, so what's going on here?
    Goku: (powering up) I AM A SUPER SANDWICH! (punches Freeza)
    Freeza: PRICK!
  • Zarbon says only two things — rather effeminate "mmm" sounds, and this:
    Vegeta: Hey, it's the gay one.
    Zarbon: Maybe I'm gay. Or maybe stereotypes are bullshit. Mmm... (transforms) PUSSY!
    Vegeta: OH NO! (gets his ass kicked)
  • After Freeza lost his chance at immortality thanks to Dende.
    Freeza: You (bark)ed me. You (chicken sound)ed me you monkey (monkey sound)ck!
    Goku: Well I'll be a monkey's uncle.
    (gets grabbed by Freeza)
    Goku: No Freezer-dono, yamete!
  • Their summary of King Kai's part in the Namek Saga:
    Yamcha: Hey King Kai, can you teach us the—
    King Kai: NO!
  • When Dende brings back Piccolo on Earth:
    Piccolo: Welp, I'm confused.
    Gohan: It looks like the dragon brought every person on Namek to Earth!
    23rd World Tournament-era Piccolo: ALL OF THEM?!
  • Since there was a secret backwards message in the special, some kind soul decided to post a reversed version of the entire episode. Besides being able to hear the backwards message, you also get to see Freeza knit his body back together, Goku squeaking as he goes from Super Saiyan to regular Saiyan and then he starts screaming, and Vegeta's Evil Laugh, only it sounds like he's barking.
    • Plus, amidst the babble that is backwards-speaking, some words can still be made out, and are hilariously appropriate for the situation. Examples include Goku talking to Freeza and apparently calling him a "wwuuuusss", while Guru re-appears from the dead with a "yeees?", and Gohan meowing shortly after (before?) Piccolo dies.
  • In a meta-sense, consider that, despite cutting out the entire Ginyu Force sub-arc, this episode is twice as long as the previous Kai while going at the same pace. That is how long the Namek arc takes.
  • The ending in which Goku uses the Muffin Button so much, he turns Namek itself into a giant muffin.
    Goku: (giggles) Yay!
  • The Reveal that Nappa had watched the whole thing.
    Nappa: Aaaaaaand unsubscribed.

Episode 3 (2.9)

  • The long-awaited Episode 3 turns out to be Episode 2.9, doing a more proper abridging of the Garlic Jr. Saga that was intentionally glossed over. All as an April Fool's joke. The 2.9 is also done in the style of Kingdom Hearts II.9, the opening prologue of Kingdom Hearts III, which the TFS boys expressed immense annoyance over in their playthrough.
  • We finally see Gohan's abusive tutor.
    Tutor: (while wielding a whip) LEARN! LEARN! LEARN! (stops whipping) ARE YOU LEARNING YET?
    Gohan: (exasperated) I don't know. Did Caligula get his comeuppance?!
    Tutor: GOOD! IT'S WORKING! (starts whipping Gohan again) LEARN! LEARN! LEARN! LEARN!
  • The reactions to Tard's name.
    Krillin: Excuse you?!
    Tard: Like "Mustard"!! Come on, guys! Don't make a big deal out of this, it's cultural, okay?!
    Vinegar: Pff. I shorten Vinegar all time, but you don't hear me calling myself
    Spice: Vinny! Dammit, you're going to get us in trouble again! Don't make us kick you out like we did with Baby Spice.
    (cut to Baby Spice, or rather Baby)
    Baby Spice: Whenever I go out of town on business, I like to do my research on where I'm going. What are the local hotspots, the bar scene, age of consent... Make the best of my time, you know!?
  • According to Kami, the Black Water Mist was created by Mr. Popo for drug purposes. The mist is then used on Piccolo, who turns into a rabid dog. He also mentions that according to Popo it's great for vape pens and butt chugging. *
    Garlic Jr.: Ew.
  • This entire bit.
    Enema: Time to get the shit out! (punches Gohan across the floor)
    Krillin: Gohan! (Tard punches him in the stomach) FUCK! note 
    Tard: You and I are gonna have a real gas!
    Krillin: The long-term effects of mustard gas on soldiers in World War II was horrific, why would you—
    (Tard knees Krillin in the face for a long while before tossing him to the ground)
    Krillin: Finally!
    Tard: By the way, it was World War I.
    Krillin: Right, I know. You just, like, you just start saying "World War" and you just kinda wanna say "II." You know, it's like The Terminator. Everybody knows there's a first one, but everyone's always talking about the sec(gets an energy blast to the face)
  • Vegeta's cameo appearance as he searches for Goku.
    Vegeta: Alright, I've checked everywhere except for Planet Yardrat and Vampa. Wait a minute, am I floating in space? Man, it's a good thing I'm in a part of the galaxy where there's air.
    • Lanipator is also noticeably holding back a chuckle near the end of the line. During the creator commentary Lani would clarify that he did the chuckle on purpose, which was in the spirit of the video being a tremendous shitpost.
  • The wonderful sequence when Garlic Jr. unleashes Piccolo on Gohan...
    Vinegar: Spice! Release the cokehead.
    Spice: (holding back a still struggling Brainwashed and Crazy Piccolo) Sic 'em, boy! (lets go)
    Piccolo: (growls and lunges forward)
    (the scene pauses, and then cuts to live action, inside Team Four Star's office, where KaiserNeko is writing the script, while Lanipator snorts cocaine off the coffee table and Takahata101 lounges on the couch while shotguning a carton of Franzia wine)
    Kaiser: (with a Face Palm) Guys, what should we do with this scene?
    Lani: (straightens up with a loud gasp and blood dripping out of his nose) Weshoulddoadodgejoke! We haven't done one in forever, people fffffffucking love them and WE MADE THE GODDAMN SHIRT! (careless desk slam) WE FUCKING DO IT! (gawks at his spilled pile of cocaine)
    Kaiser: ...maybe? I dunno, Kurt, what do you think?
    (Pan over to Takahata101 who keeps drinking from the box of Franzia wine while a trembling Lani looks at him)
    Taka: (silently gives a thumbs-up, not stopping his drinking)
    Kaiser: (sighs) Alright. "Dodge!" joke it is.
    Lani: FUCK YEAH! (slaps the box of Franzia out of Taka's hand)
    Taka: (gawks, then lunges over and slaps Lanipator in the face)
  • Piccolo is strangling Gohan, and Gohan's response is... not what they anticipated.
    Gohan: Harder!
    Piccolo: (shocked) WHOA!
    Garlic Jr.: (just as shocked) WHOA!
    Vinegar: BRO!
    Spice: WHAT?!
    Krillin: Jesus, WHAT?!
    Gohan: (strained) Fight it... harder... Mr. Piccolo!
    Piccolo: Oh! Thank Kami.
  • Once again, cocaine is discussed at length...
    Gohan: Please, Mr. Piccolo! Don't let the Black Water Mist control you!
    Spice: No, no, we gave him cocaine; did you not hear us?
    Gohan: Wha...?
    Spice: It's a spice...
    Vinegar: Spice of life.
    Kami: Mr. Popo leaves it lying around. I made French Toast the other week and it was a bad time. Well, at first, it was a very good time. Very productive day. But then... it wasn't...
    Garlic Jr.: ...I want some coke toast...
  • Garlic tells Piccolo to finish off Gohan:
    Garlic Jr.: Alright, Piccolo! Make like an anti-vaxxer and murder this child!
    Spice: ...Getting a little heavy-handed with the social commentary, aren't we?
    Vinegar: Art should be controversial, man.
  • After Piccolo squeezes his own neck to the point of bleeding causing Garlic Jr. to vomit and Gohan kills Spice, Vinegar just decides to leave.
  • Garlic Jr's line "I'm a strong independent demon who don't need no henchmen!"
  • When Garlic Jr. prepares to eliminate the heroes by opening up the Dead Zone, he realizes that he's done the exact same thing that resulted in him being Hoist by His Own Petard the last time he fought the heroes. When he states he'll close the zone and kill them himself, in comes Alucard to shoot him and send him flying back to the Dead Zone.
    Alucard: Kept you waiting, huh? (cut to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate style splashcard reading "ALUCARD GOES FOR A WALK!")
  • Immediately after that, Gohan awakens and realizes it was All Just a Dream and indirectly tells viewers to Please Subscribe to Our Channel before his tutor starts whipping him again.
  • The Stinger reveals that Vinegar became the best-selling author of "The Fault in Our Makyo Stars". And the host closes by calling him "Mr. N*bleep*", prompting Vinegar to timidly remind her that he goes by "Vinny" instead.
  • "Man, I'm glad we skipped this the first time."

Episode 3 (The Real One)

  • The disclaimer, read by Android 16.
    Android 16: Physical media is forever! Buy LaserDisc!
  • The Seinfeldian Conversation Yamcha, Bulma & Krillin have about stolen music, obviously a reference to Kenji Yamamoto's plagiarizing for the DBZ Kai score. And of course certain others (Piccolo, Krillin) mention the US Bruce Faulconer music.
    Yamcha: I'm just saying, I know it was stolen but it was good music, right?
    Bulma: Yeah, because it was stolen from better artists.
    Krillin: What about the dub score?
    Yamcha: Oh, yeah, let's start that flame war...
    Vegeta: FREEZA'S HERE!
    Krillin: F**K!
    Piccolo: OH MY GOD!
    Gohan: WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
  • Freeza's pun-tastic return:
    Freeza: (as everyone freaks out) That's right, buttholes! This is my resurrection! And you're all about to get F— (gets cut into by Trunks' sword, which gets stuck on his metal bits, then sprays blood all over Krillin)
    Krillin: (while covered in blood) Whoo!
    • It's also a bit of a Stealth Pun, but there's a sound like metal on rock when Trunks' sword gets stuck around the place where, were he conforming to human biology, Freeza's heart would be. note 
    • The sheer fact that Freeza's death by sword is done very slowly. The "Canadian Subtitles" even poked fun at it...
  • If you listen very closely during the title sequence, (which, keep in mind, is about two seconds long) you can hear the Instant Transmission 'pop' sound effect.
  • Trunks claiming that he's come because they have no female fanbase, followed by Bulma flirtatiously saying they do now. Since they used a soundfile from Dragon Ball FighterZ, it also leads to KaiserNeko briefly turning into Eric Vale.
    Trunks: YOU NEED TO BE STOPPED! (cue explosion)
  • When Goku returns, he is greeted by stock applause.
  • "Only saw Z, who dat?"
  • Trunks telling everyone to laugh at Vegeta's pink shirt when he leaves.
    Tien: More like Saiyan "pride parade", am I right?
    Vegeta: I'm now going to breed the nearest female just to prove you wrong.
    Bulma: Oh, cool.
  • The SpongeBob SquarePants-esque "Three years later" time card followed by footage of a destroyed city and an innocent lonely child being crushed by flaming debris. Then there's what she yells:
    Child: FILLER!
  • This Call-Back to the first Kai short, which also becomes a Brick Joke when Goku has his heart attack.
    Goku: Guys, it's A SET of Androids! And Yamcha's here.
    Yamcha: I am? (gets impaled by Dr. Gero)
    Goku: Yamcha's dead!
    Yamcha: (muffled and pained) No, I'm not!
    • It then turns out Dr. Gero's arm got stuck in Yamcha:
      Dr. Gero: Come on you—! (attempts to pull his arm out)
      Yamcha: (yelps in pain)
      Dr. Gero: (still attempting to wiggle his arm loose) Blasted ribs got caught on my sleeve!
      Yamcha: (broken whimper)
  • When Vegeta shows up to destroy 19.
  • Android 19's new last words.
  • Vegeta prepares to kill Gero.
    Vegeta: And now, to put the old man in a home! (close up on Vegeta's face) A funeral home! I—
    (zooms out, to show Gero is gone)
    Vegeta: Ah, shit. Damn, he runs fast for an old guy.
  • Dr. Gero prepares two more Androids, the original ones who were always a part of the story. From the very beginning.note 
  • When 18 attempts to wake up 16, Gero's response speaks to a bit of Fridge Logic from the scene:
    Gero: NO, DON'T WAKE HIM UP FOR SOME REASON!!
  • Of course, a character gets to say "I am hilarious and you will quote everything I say." It's 16 this time, but he screws up partway through.
    Hello I am Android 16. I am hilarious and you will — BIRDS BIRDS BIRDSGoku.
  • Vegeta calling 18 a cunt is taken up a notch here.
    Vegeta: Hey, c(bleep)t!
    Trunks: Whoa, dad!
    Vegeta: What? She's a c(bleep)t! A c(bleep)ty c(bleep)t! 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..... VAGINA?!
    (18 takes a deep breath before she breaks Vegeta's arm, cuing a "We'll be Right Back" card)
  • After 18's done dismantling Vegeta.
    17: 'Ey... don't bang my sister.
    Krillin: Oh.
    18: (kisses Krillin's cheek) He might~.
    Krillin: (eager) Oh!
    17: But don't.
    Krillin: (disappointed) Oh...
    16: He wants pussy like I want Goku.
    17: That sounds a little gay, dude.
    16: It is a little gay, dude.
  • When Piccolo goes to fuse with Kami:
    Piccolo: You know who could use some character development?
    Trunks: Gohan.
    Tien: Gohan.
    Krillin: Gohan.
    Vegeta: Kakarot's brat!
    Piccolo: MEEEEEEEE!
  • Piccolo fuses with Kami and...
    Piccolo: I'm THREE guys now!
    Kami and Nail: 'Sup.
    Internal Kami: Do you think this joke will get old?
    Piccolo: Nah, it's not Ghost Nappa.
    • Piccolo convincing Kami to fuse with him. Made better in that Popo sounds like Krillin.
      Piccolo: Kami, we have to kill some teenagers! Also, we cool now?
      Mr. Popo: I DID DRUGS THIS SCENE!
      Kami: You had me at "killing teenagers".
  • Rather than having the Pirate and Ninja Dreams while bedridden from his heart problems, Goku is having what seems to be a Hero Dream, rendered in 3D...
    Goku (in Izuku's outfit): I'm gonna be the greenest Goku ever!
    Vegeta (in Bakugou's outfit): F**K YOU, DEKUROT! KILL YOURSELF! WRYYYYYYYYYYYYY!!!
    Goku: God, you're such a deep character!
    Vegeta: (grabs Goku) F**K ME!
    (cut to outside the dream)
    Goku: Man, I wish I was All Might...
    Gohan: I wish my dad was All Might...
  • Instead of singing "Mr. Sandman" to himself, Imperfect Cell debuts by whistling the tune from "All Star".
    Piccolo: Who?
    Cell: SOME
    [cue "To Be Continued" title card]
  • Just before this, Kami and Piccolo are having a discussion that could both be a continuation of the soundtrack discussion from the beginning of the episode, and (depending on your musical tastes) a comment on the song that Cell starts singing immediately afterward.
    Piccolo: Look, I'm not saying it was the best music, but American kids grew up with it, y'know?
    Kami: That doesn't make it good, it just makes it nostalgic.
  • Nappa as All Might:
    "And remember, when you say 'Plus Ultra' you really got to say it like a Japanese dude. PURASU URTURA! Got it? Good. Cause I gotta go bang Dekurot's mom. Straight up Professor Oak-ing that bitch!"
    • The fact Dekurot's mom could refer to Gine brings two funny implications: chubby Gine, or the weird pairing of Nappa and Gine.
    • Then there's the other implication about Nappa being All Might: that means he gave Goku/Dekurot his powers.
  • The fact that this arc is SO LONG they're going to need at least two Kai episodes to cover it, as it cuts off right as Cell shows up.

Episode 3.5

  • The disclaimer for this episode:
    Perfect Cell: Give money, receive Dragon Ball.
  • The episode begins with Cell finishing up All Star. And after he does so, he calls Piccolo daddy, and pukes up a live baby instead of the pacifier:
    Imperfect Cell: Fine! (drinks the baby instead)
    Piccolo: NOOOOO!!! MY BABY!!!
    Kami: He's getting in your head! And your arm!
    • On top of this, the fact that Cell didn't start of the episode with "--body!" to finish the joke set up by the last episode as would be expected. Instead he's all but stated to have sung the entire song in the interim period between episodes.
  • Why does Cell keep calling Piccolo daddy?
    Imperfect Cell: Because I'm NINE guys, burgers and fries!
  • Krillin getting sidetracked by how Cell's groin looks so much like his mouth before getting another Solar Flare. The image this time? A Freeza bubble blowing toy.
    • Even better, Cell plays the finger game and his dick-mouth starts talking.
    Krillin: AH, DICK IN MY EYES!
  • Goku saying "Plus Ultra!" when he fetches Gohan.
  • The introduction of the Hyperbolic Time Chamber.
    Vegeta: (Sound-Effect Bleep)'s that mean?
    Vegeta: NANI?! (door closes on him)
  • Although Goku says that he only gets involved when things are getting bad, he and Gohan decide on waiting for Vegeta in unison.
  • When the Androids attack Kame House in search of Goku, there's a "no soliciting" sign next to them.
  • This scene during the fight between Piccolo and 17 where they gut punch each other so hard their backs seem to billow out.
    Android 18: And suddenly we're in Looney Tunes.
    Android 16: I like the Road Runner.
    Imperfect Cell: And I like Pepé Le Pew!
    Piccolo: I'm a fan of Sam Sheepdo(gets punched)
  • Android 17 seeing Cell for the first time.
    Android 17: Cyborg Jesus, what is that thing?!
    Imperfect Cell: I'm your onii-chan! (slams Android 17 onto the ground, with the word "POMF" appearing)
    Android 17: What are we going to do on the ground, onii-chan? (camera zooms in on the inside of Cell's tail as the Fairy Tail "Wow!" sound effect plays)
  • Android 16 revealing that anime sound effects are interchangeable!
    Android 16: (as "Gallant Char" plays) GUNDAM SOUND EFFECTS! (Rocket Punch launches off to the SFX of a beam rifle)
  • Cell absorbing 17 is portrayed even more dirty than usual.
    Android 17: Wait, you can't do this! We're related!
    Imperfect Cell: Not by blood~.
    Android 17: Oh cool. That's fine then. (Cell absorbs him, and it's shown off as a P-Hub video titled "GUY TAKES ALL OF HIS STEP BROTHER IN HIS GAPING HOLE")
    • On the topic of P-Hub, the recommend videos are "'Hot Twunk Gets Fisted By Older Man" (Dr. Gero punching a hole in Yamcha's chest), "Hot Young Guy Splits F.A.G. in Half" (Trunks slicing Mecha Freeza in half), "Teen Girl Gets Pussy Pounded" (Goku touching Bulma's panties as a kid to check for balls) and "Spying in Girl's Bathroom" (Master Roshi using a shrinking device to peep on Bulma in the bathroom)
  • Cell abruptly shapeshifting into his Semi-Perfect form, which is followed by Tien's Shin Kikoho in the style of Dragon Ball FighterZ. Complete with Tien's side showing a KOed Piccolo and 16 on his team.
    Tien: HEY DICK-LIPS! This is the last cool thing I'll ever do. There is no joke.
    Cell: Respecc- (gets Kikoho'd) AW BEANS!
    Tien: (uses all his meter on a raw level 3) HO! HO!! HO!!! (falls down, weary while Justin Briner shouts "DOWN!") Merry Christmas, mother f**ker...
    Cell: And Happy Hanukkah to you.
    Tien: Thanks.
  • Just as Cell is about to kill Tien after he's wished a merry Christmas, Goku suddenly appears to pick him up.
    Goku: Did someone say Christmas?!
    Tien: Now you show up!
    Semi-Perfect Cell: Oh hey, Goku—
    Goku: You're gonna (Dragon Radar beep)ing die! (POP)
  • Cell decides to just Perfect, only for Super Vegeta to get involved.
    Super Vegeta: I'm gonna do you a f*ck!
    Cell: 'Scuse me?
    Super Vegeta: NEVER! (kicks Cell into the dirt) Look how yoke'd I am. (spits) Straight up cock diesel!
    • Followed by Cell doing some Politeness Judo.
      Cell: (face buried in dirt) Can I just absorb the androids?
      Super Vegeta: No.
      Trunks: (relieved) Yes!
      Cell: Pleeeease??
      Super Vegeta: Yes!
      Trunks: (despairing) NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
    • Which is immediately followed by Cell anticlimactically absorbing 18 before anyone can realize what's just happened.
  • After Cell becomes Perfect, we get this required scene:
    Perfect Cell: I am perfect... and you will quote everything I say.
  • Cell's Curb-Stomp Battle with Krillin and the Saiyans is even worse:
    Krillin: YOU ATE MY GIRLFRI—! (gets bitchslapped) —oh...
    Vegeta: And now, you'll feel the wrath... of SUPER VEGE— (gets bitchslapped, cutting off "Saiyan Blood") —augh...
    Trunks: I won't let you destroy another fut— (gets bitchslapped, cutting off "The Lone Warrior") —ungh...
  • Krillin befriending 16, which 16 himself lampshades.
    Krillin: We're friends now!
    16: But I want to kill Goku!
    Krillin: Most of my friends did!
  • Cell carves up the giant chunk of rock to make... a giant stone Dickbutt. While humming "Megalovania".
    Cell: Mmm, this will age well.
  • Goku and Gohan step outside the Hyperbolic Time Chamber to find the Lookout in flames and littered with debris (and somewhere in the afterlife, Gine is crying)
    Goku: ...Vegeta. What'cha do?
    Vegeta: (looking extremely guilty) Nothing...
    Goku: Vegeta! What did you do?
    Vegeta: (petulantly) Nothing!
    Goku: What. Did. You. Do?!
    Vegeta: I F*CKED YOUR MOM!!
    Goku: I don't have a mom!
    Vegeta: (distraught) ...Neither do I.
    (Vegeta starts crying Manly Tears with a Lonely Piano Piece playing in the background)
  • Gohan shows off his new power to Piccolo:
    Super Saiyan Gohan: Hey, Mr. Piccolo! I'm Super Saiyan!
    Piccolo: NO, YOU'RE ME! (clothes beams some demon wear onto Gohan who admires it while "Fashion Killa" by A$AP Rocky plays.)
    Gohan: Cash.
  • Goku retrieving Dende in this version.
    Trunks: By the way, we don't have Dragon Balls anymore, so-
    Goku: But then what are we in?! (POP, brings back Dende) Goku fix.
    Dende: Okay so I'm God now?
    Mr. Popo: Bet.
    Dende: Sick.
    Goku: Tournament time!
  • Alucard drops in for a cameo appearance:
    Alucard: Hey, we still doing those Vs. videos?
    Cell: Nope.
    Alucard: Eh, no worries. [teleports out]
    • What makes this one even funnier is that Takahata101 is voicing both Alucard and Cell, which at the end of the last Vs. video, Deadpool was complaining about in terms of missed opportunities.
  • The entire Cell Games bracket (sponsored by Hetap) is solely one match between Goku and Cell.
    Trunks: Wait, how is that a tournament?
    Mr. Perfect Cell: Hey, don't hate the Cell Playa... hate the Cell Games.
  • Both Cell AND Goku telling Mr. Satan to shut the fuck up.
    Satan: Eh, they didn't really change my character anyway.
  • Goku gets hit once and immediately quits, pushing Gohan onto the stage.
  • What pushes Gohan to go Super Saiyan 2 in this version? Goku telling him that his fight with Cell won't be resolved for another year.
  • Cell complaining about how they skipped over the fight with the Cell Jr.s, only to get bitchslapped by Gohan.
    • What's even funnier is the fact Gohan bitchslapped the Perfect out of Cell, with the damage sound effect from Super Mario World.
  • Semi-Perfect Cell does not like losing his perfect form or Gohan calling him a dingus.
    Gohan: Get lost ya dingus.
    Semi-Perfect Cell: I'm no dingus... YOU'RE A DINGUS!! (inflates to "Big And Chunky" by will.i.am)
    Gohan: Oh god, I killed us all!
    Goku: No, Gohan... just me. (pops himself and Cell away with the same dramatic balloon burst as in the original Tear Jerker moment)
    Gohan: NOOO!
    Freeza- sorry, Perfecter Cell: JK Not dead LOL
  • Cell's Wrong Genre Savvy Villainous Breakdown after killing Trunks, especially the both Self Deprecating and Critic-Mocking reference to their somewhat controversial ranking placement of fan-favorite Cell in their Top 24 Dragon Ball Villains Special during DBCember 2016:
  • Cell once again goes out singing "My Way", except this time he sings the Limp Bizkit song. And after he holds the last "WAAAAAY" note, he dies with one last Fred Durst "CHYEAH!"
  • A scene that encapsulates Death Is Cheap;
    Krillin: Gohan beat Cell!!!
    Piccolo: But at what cost?
    (Shenron is summoned)
    Piccolo: Oh right, no cost. Hooray!
  • How does Shenron greet the Dragon Team this time?
  • Goku decides to stay dead, much to Gohan's frustration. His reasoning?
    Goku: (as his ghost fades into the distance) You're Goku now!
    (Goku pops back into frame)
    Goku: I-I mean, for now.
  • Gohan... doesn't take it well that it's all downhill for him after beating Cell.
    Gohan: Wow! I wonder what's next for me...
    (Piccolo puts his hand on Gohan's head and smiles; long pause)
    Piccolo: (smile changes into a frown) You peaked.
    Gohan: What?
    Piccolo: You peaked.
    Gohan: You're kidding! After all that!?
    Piccolo: Yeah, sorry.
    Gohan: But... B-But I get stronger though, right?!
    Piccolo: Yeah, but... no.
    Gohan: ...Oh.
  • The episode ends with Android 16 randomly walking across the screen, turning to the viewer smirking and saying.
    • That particular moment is also framed as though he has suddenly become giant-sized for no explicable reason.
  • The "Canadian" subs (aka the joke subs with commentary) spends a good amount of time with the subtitlers freaking out over how sexual the jokes are. Also, they have a field day with nicknaming Cell, including "Alabama" and "Vore Enthusiast". Perfect Cell's introduction includes a dad joke, his Villainous Breakdown involves the subtitlers having way too much fun with the formatting, and the confusion when none of them get the Fred Durst reference.

    Buu Bits shorts 
For YouTuber Totally Not Mark, Team Four Star put together a number of short skits to accompany his review of the Buu saga. The result is pure hilarity.

Part 1

  • Gohan's reunion with Krillin and 18 and first meeting with Marron is funny as all hell, especially if you remember Krillin's life as "Juan Sanchez":
    Gohan: Wow! Look at you Krillin, you've got hair!
    Krillin: And proof I had sex!
    Marron: Hello!
    Gohan: Aw, what's your name?
    Marron: Marron!
    Gohan: ...So we gonna talk about that, or...
    18: Talk about what? It's my grandmother's name.
    Gohan: Talk... about how great it is you can still have children!
    18: Uh... Thank you?
    Gohan: You're welcome! Goodbye! (Gohan flies off)
    18: (chuckles) ...You're right. It is funnier if we act like I don't know.
    Krillin: Told ya.
  • The whole discussion at Capsule Corp is a whole case of Rapid-Fire Comedy, 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.
    • It bears repeating: Ghost Goku. Imagine Vegeta having that haunting him; if Ghost Nappa drove Vegeta to near insanity it's little wonder he was forced to find a therapist for Goku's apparitions.
    • This bit of dialogue:
      Bulma: Vegeta, did you take out the trash like I asked?
      Vegeta: Why? We have slaves for that.
      Bulma: Stop calling them slaves!
      Vegeta: Fine! (dripping with sarcasm) INTERNS.
      Bulma: Thank you.
    • And then there's Vegeta being full of sass regarding the next tournament:
      Gohan: Hey Vegeta, you're taking part of the world martial arts tournament too?
      Vegeta: Why? So I could beat up a bunch of weaklings for money? I'm already rich and I've got nothing to prove.
  • Gohan and Videl's discussion of their backstories culminates with a very stark bit of Mood Whiplash:
    Gohan: Oh my gosh, criminals killed your mom?
    Videl: Well, no... I actually lost her to the "Big C". But that backstory doesn't exactly strike fear into the hearts of criminals.
    Gohan: Yeah. I lost my dad to the Big C too.
    Videl: Oh wow, I'm so sorry. Cancer's a bitch, huh?
    Gohan: Oh, no, I thought you meant Cell!
    Videl: But didn't everyone mysteriously come back after he died?
    Gohan: Not everyone...
    Videl: ... Did you say ALIEN?!
    Gohan: (Smiling uneasily) Who wants to learn how to fly?!
    Goten: (Excitedly jumps in front of Gohan) Meee!
  • Just the fact that Gohan and Videl's chosen backstories basically make them Superman and Batman.
  • Even TFS couldn't resist making a joke about a certain moment from Videl's fight with Great Saiyaman:
    Videl: So you're this massively-powerful, half-human/half-alien super-warrior.
    Gohan: Uh... I mean, saying that about myself feels a little conceited, but...
    Videl: What I'm saying is: you can dodge bullets, much less any attack I throw at you.
    Gohan: Well... yeah, honestly.
    (Videl thinks back to her fight with "Great Saiyaman", specifically her grabbing his head by her thighs... leaving her crotch right in "Saiyaman's" face)
    Gohan: Why do you ask?
    Videl: (happily) No reason.
    • If you listen closely you can hear the visor of Gohan's helmet and Videl's shorts rubbing hard enough against one another to make Gohan's visor squeak.
    • The title of the short even points out that Videl is essentially asking him, "Why didn't you dodge?"
  • During their bout in the Junior Division finals, Trunks has trouble trying to ring out Goten but he does consider him worthy enough as the son of Goku. Goten's thoughts on the other hand...
    Trunks: Dang it, I can't get him out of the ring! (smirking) I guess it's what I should expect from the son of Kakarot.
    Goten: Baby Shark, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, Baby Shark, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-
    • In the deleted scenes, it turns out that both apples did not fall that far from the same Saiyan trees.
      Vegeta: Yes, this is it! The fight I have been waiting for all these years! Exactly what I expected from you, Kakarot.
      Goku: Daddy Shark, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo, Daddy Shark, doo-doo, doo-doo, doo-doo-
    • Trunks decides to use Ki attacks in the middle of the match, much to Gohan's consternation.
      (Fires a Ki blast that flies towards the tournament audience)
      Goku: Aw hey Gohan, you taught him how to dodge. That's great.
      Gohan: (frantically) TRUNKS-PULL-IT-UP!!!
    • When Goten realizes that Ki attacks (or, as he puts it, pew-pews) are fair game, he immediately starts performing a Kamehameha. Or rather...
      Goten: Ka-me-ka-me...
      Trunks: Dude, you're not even saying it right, it's "Ka-me-HA-me"-
      Goten: HA!
      (Goten's Kamekameha fires anyway, with Trunks casually leaning out of the way as the blast angles up and blows away part of the tournament building's roof)
      Trunks: Wait, even if you say it wrong it still works?! Then why say it at all?!
      "The Great Saiyaman": Because it sounds cool!
      Sharpner: Does it though? Tsk, oh c'mon, he knows I love him; you know I love you "THE Great Saiyaman"! (speaking aside to Eraza) Seriously, though, who put that do-rag on him?
    • One of the deleted scenes has Trunks crank things up by shooting a energy blast at Goten, who dodges but also eviscerates the audience and part of the city.
  • While Videl's torture at the hands of Spopovich is horrific, Goku is somewhat unimpressed since it's rather tame compared to the tournament fights he's been in.
    Announcer: In all my years of watching brutal violence unfold, this is without a doubt the most heinous, unnecessary savagery we've ever witnessed!
    Goku: Oh, come on, this could be way worse. She still has all her vital organs.
    Piccolo: (offscreen) ALL OF THEM!?
  • When Shin says "any evil" is enough for Babidi to turn you into a puppet, he means "any evil". Even if it's just minor infractions like using your phone during a movie or leaving your shopping cart in a parking space.
    Goku: Oh, that's super evil. The cart return is like, right there.
  • How does Goku know Vegeta's been overtaken by the Majin?
    Goku: Stop it, 'Getes! This isn't like you, you're not a bad guy!
    Vegeta: Since WHEN?! When, on this WORTHLESS EARTH, DID I EVER BECOME A QUOTE-UNQUOTE "GOOD GUY"?!
    Gohan: You were at Krillin's barbecue last week!
    Vegeta: Yeah, and I brought potato salad.
    Goku: (going Super Saiyan in response) He is truly lost to us.
    • Shin is trying to convince Goku and Vegeta not to fight because it would awaken Buu, and he is far stronger than anyone they have ever fought before. Unfortunately, he's talking to Goku. Needless to say, Gohan has to point out the flaw in his approach.
      Gohan: Mister Shin... You are only making this worse.
      Shin: (deep exhale) Fucking mortys.
  • The long-awaited "Vegeta's midlife crisis" take finally comes to fruition:
    Vegeta: You don't get it. How could you? You, who've never questioned why he fights. You've always lived for yourself, trained for yourself. But once you were gone, I lost what drove me to be better. I lost my edge. And now, I'm going to... PTA MEETINGS! And Krillin's movie nights! Listen to me Kakarot, I'M USING HIS FUCKING NAME!
  • And how does Goku respond to Vegeta laying his internal conflict bare?
    Goku: (casually) Alright.
    Vegeta: ... That's it?
    Goku: Yeah, look 'Getes, I'm just here for the fight. You don't gotta justify it.
    Vegeta: ...God, I missed you.
    Goku: Whuzzat? (Vegeta knees him in the torso)
  • When Majin Buu, the supposedly-monstrous force of nature Babidi had to steal mountains of fighting energy to release finally awakens... he almost immediately begins childishly dancing and prancing about, laughing and sing-songingly repeating his name all the while.
    Babidi: I'm sorry, does-does he need to go back in the oven? I'm a clone, so I don't really remember the original... Dabura, little help here?
    Dabura: (sigh) Let me talk with him, master.
  • TFS' take on Goku and Vegeta stopping their fight in response to Buu's awakening is simple, but hilarious all the same - It feels less like a monstrous new villain has awoken, and more like a trailer announcing a new expansion to their favorite game has been revealed.
    Goku: Ya feel that?
    Vegeta: ... Yah.
    Goku: New strong guy dropped! Wanna go see?
    Vegeta: (smiles) ... Yeah, I do.
    Goku: Yay! See, I do know you.
    Vegeta: Shut up and give me a senzu bean.
    Goku: You got it, best buddy. Too bad we couldn't finish our fight, though. I didn't even get a chance to whip out my new for(Vegeta knocks him out, then picks up and eats a senzu)
    Vegeta: Victory for Vegeta.
    • Creator Commentary makes this better mentioning Vegeta knocked out Goku before he finished speaking on purpose he just knew Goku was going to say something that would piss him off in one way or another.
  • Dabura beseeches Babidi to not trust or attempt to control the child-like Buu, only for Babidi to begin retorting. Emphasis on "begin".
    Babidi: Yes, Dabura, he is a child. A child that must be nurtured and raised into a subservient, obedient little t— Dabura? Dabura? Where'd you go?
    (Smash Cut to Buu zapping a screaming Dabura with his magic and turning him into a cookie before noisily chowing down on him)
    Babidi: Man, Towa's going to be really pissed at me... Eh, who gives a shit, bitch's barely canon.
  • Vegeta says farewell to his baby boy in a fashion that is atypical for the proud Saiyan prince... but also still very Vegeta.
    Vegeta: Trunks. I am going to hug you for the first time ever. (Vegeta does just that)
    Trunks: (muffled) Oh. Cool!
    (Beat as sad, dramatic piano plays in the background)
    Vegeta: ... Hug complete. (knocks Trunks out)
    Goten: Is he gonna be okay—? (also gets knocked out)
    Vegeta: I'm a way better dad than Kakarot.
    • In the immediate aftermath, when calling Piccolo over, Vegeta refers to Goten as "the Kaka-tot," something that had been on Lani's joke list for years.
  • When Vegeta asks Piccolo if he'll see Goku again in the afterlife:
    Piccolo: What, like in heaven? Because... (stifling laughter) No!
    Vegeta: Okay, fuck you! But... fair.
  • Vegeta decides to tip his hand to Kakarot in approaching his fight with Majin Buu. And this goes into Buu's Hidden Depths and stark contrasts being acknowledged in perhaps the funniest way possible:
    Vegeta: So I'm going to take a page out of Kakarot's book: I'm gonna hit you really hard! Hard enough to wipe every last bit of you from existence!
    Buu: (suddenly morose) Existence. Existence is but shallow question with no answer. (cheerily) Buu make you chicken nuggies!
  • The alternate version of Vegeta's sacrifice.
    Vegeta: This is farewell. Bulma, Trunks, and even you, best buddy. (frowns to himself) Nope, still hate it.
    (...)
    Narrator: And so, the narrator came back... to tell you that Vegeta fucking died.

Part 2

  • Videl arrives at the Lookout and Dende welcomes her warmly introducing himself as both God and Dende (or "SKD")—even cracking a joke about being Mr. Satan's daughter. But the wind's taken out of his sails when he finds out that Videl is Gohan's friend, who happens to be a girl. As he starts naming features like her long human legs and "normal"-colored skin, with the background music sounding slower and more deranged, Videl's slightly uncomfortable about the invokedimplications behind the latter comment. This ends up reminding Dende to eagerly introduce her to Mr. Popo.
    Mr. Popo: Hiii~
    Videl: OH MY GOD! Are you allowed?!
    • Taken a bit further in the extended/deleted version where Mr. Popo responds. If you listen you can also hear Taka trying not to laugh during Dende's extra line.
      Mr. Popo: (Laughs) Ohhhh, I like this one!
      Dende: Oh my god, just steal all my men why don't you!?
  • Goku shows off the Super Saiyan forms, but Babidi isn't appreciative.
    Babidi: (about Super Duper Saiyan) Is there a difference? I literally can't tell.
    Goku: There's little zappy zaps around it. (electricity buzzes) See?
    Buu: (nods understandingly)
  • King Kai is less than pleased about Goku's excessive posturing when he's on a time limit:
    King Kai: Oh, no, go ahead, Goku. Waste the last of the time you have there whipping out your dick!
    • And back at the shaking Lookout:
      Goten: Ow, do you hear that?
      Piccolo: I feel that!
      Krillin: I taste that!
    • Elsewhere, Trunks stops in his tracks and turns his attention to the display of power in the distance:
      Trunks: ...What's that smell?
  • After Goku reveals the Super-dee-Duper Saiyan:
    Babidi: I'm just going to call those Super Saiyan 1, 2, and 3.
    Goku: Well that's boring.
    Buu: Buu very bored. We fight now?
    Goku: Sure.
    (Cut to SDSS Goku punching Buu like a paddleball.)
    • Even as he's being punched like a paddleball, Buu somehow finds the whole thing fun, even sneaking in a "woo-hoo".
  • Goten and Trunks' fusion debut is momentarily halted when said fusion hesitates over his own name instead of instinctively knowing it:
    Gotenks: (pointing in a pose) You can call me The Miraculous Tru— (hesitates and holds other fist to his chest) GO— (hesitates and sits down cross-legged with arms folded) Hmm... Okay, which one am I going with? (looks down briefly) Well, I mean, "Trunkten" sounds weird, but "Gotenks" is like all Goten and a liiittle Trunks. And I both know how this stacks. But yeah, it does sound better. Okay, then I'm going with Gotenks! But I owe me later. Yeah, I know.
    • And continuing his tradition of sticking to lame names, Piccolo refers to Gotenks as "Trunkten".
    • The ensuing debate over Gotenks' pronouns.
      Videl: Hold on then, do we use he/him or they/them?
      Krillin: Why? He's not nonbinary.
      Piccolo: Well, definitely not. There's two of them in there.
      Videl: Yeah, that's kind of my point.
      Master Roshi: You kids and your pronouns. (taps Videl's breasts only to get smacked in the face)
      Gotenks: You can just say I'm/him, 'cause I'm about to bust up Buu! Later! (flies away)
      Piccolo: Trunkten, wait!
      Master Roshi: All I'm saying is back in my day, a hole was a hole!
      Videl: ...You're gross.
  • Mr. Satan's attempts at being a friend/servant/moral guide to Buu:
    Buu: (holding Bay) Buu hungry. Buu eat doggie!
    Mr. Satan: N-no, Buu! You do not eat dogs.
    Buu: Buu confused. (looking from Hercule to Bay) If humans eat cows and pigs, then why no eat dogs?
    Mr. Satan: (eyes closed, patiently explaining) Because they're cute, domesticated, and functional.
    Buu: (smiles in realization) Soo, same reason Buu not eat you.
    Mr. Satan: (very nervous) Yeees...?
  • After an argument over various food delivery services, Mr. Satan reaches his limit with Buu and inadvertently points out an alternate use of Buu's powers in his frustration:
    Mr. Satan: Just don't eat people no more. Use your magic to turn rocks into food!
    Buu: (quiet gasp before healing Bay) Satan is genius!
  • Gotenks' Super Ghost Kamekaze attack has a few unexpected guests...
    (pan across the ghost Gotenks screwing around until...)
    Ghost Nappa: Ayyyy!
    Gotenks: Wait, Uncle Nappa?
    Nappa: Hey, kids! How's it hanging?
    Gotenks: What are you doing here?
    Nappa: Well, I was having a stroke in my trailer, and it did not end well. (chuckles awkwardly)
    Gotenks: (uneasy) Our... condolences?
    Nappa: Eh, it was my fault! ...Shouldn't have made that extra notch in the belt.
    Gotenks: I don't get it.
    Nappa: (winking) Ask Trunks' dad.
    Gotenks: But he's dead!
    (Ghost Vegeta appears)
    Vegeta: Fuck am I doing he—?
    Nappa: Gasp!
    Vegeta: Oh no...
    Nappa: VEGEEEEEE—(Smash Cut)
    • There's something darkly hilarious about Nappa being Killed Offscreen just to revive the Ghost Nappa gag, but then it's just plain hilarious that he dies...technically on his own terms this time, in an embarrassing yet self-satisfying manner. And it's also as abrupt and out of left field as his revival in the first place. It also means that Nappa caused his own death probably within minutes of when Buu's Human Extinction Attack would have killed him anyway...which means that just like Exact Words of a wish resulted him being revived in DBZ Abridged when he wasn't in canon, he'll now not be revived when all of the people killed by Buu are brought back.
    • Before he sacrificed himself, Vegeta and Piccolo more or less agreed that the former was going to go to hell for his misdeeds. He didn't realize that, though ultimately brief, Vegeta indeed got his own personal hell. And its name is Ghost Nappa.
    • Remember, Nappa is still supposed to be dead by the time Dragon Ball GT rolls around. So let's just say the solution for making him dead again was...unique.
  • Old Kai is unsealed from the Z-Sword, and it turns out that he also doesn't approve of "mortys."
    • Upon first seeing him, Goku mistakes Old Kai for Shin's grandpa.
    • There's also this joke from Shin, which is so corny you'll probably want to slap whomever wrote it in the face:
      Shin: Um, excuse me, sir, who are you?
      Old Kai: What, are your eyeballs for show? Peep the suit, kiddo, I'm a kaioshin!
      Shin: Kaio-what?
  • Super Buu manifesting the mouths of Piccolo, Goten, and Chi-Chi to torment Gohan with is horrifying... until he accidentally manifests the mouth of the DoorDash driver Mr. Satan was trying to call earlier. Then it's hilarious.
    DoorDash driver: DoorDash for Mister... Buh?
    Super Buu: Oops! Ignore that one.
    • In the alternate version, it's Sharpner who pops up instead and tries to defuse the horrifying situation with his usual nature. Buu doesn't even immediately try to reabsorb him, he's too taken aback by the sassy personality he's absorbed.
  • Vegito, like Gotenks, has issues regarding naming himself. Unlike their sons, however, this fusion's issues entirely stem from one of his two halves'... insistences.
    Vegito: We are a warrior, born of the Potara. A combination of Vegeta and Go- (visibly struggling) Goooooooooo... karot. (Super Buu expresses confusion) Huh. That was weird. Why can't we say GoOoOoOoO... GOOOOOOOOO...
    Buu: Are you two... Are you alright?
    Vegito: Sir. We are talking to ourself. Vegeta and Go... Vegeta and GOOOOOOOOOH, WHATEVER! You can just call us Vegito! And Son GOOOOOOOOOOO—FUCK YOURSELF!
    Buu: Grr. Are we going to— (Vegito Spirit Swords him through the mouth)
    Vegito: SIR. WE WILL FIGHT YOU IN A MINUTE.
    • If you listen really closely, when Vegito shouts out "And Son GOOOOOOOO— FUCK YOURSELF!", Goku does not shout out "Fuck". Even as a fusion, Goku refuses to say bad words.
    • Which then makes it EXTRA funny later on when Goku swears after the Spirit Bomb grows massive, courtesy of Mr. Popo.
  • Vegeta gets angry at Goku when he sees that Goku grabbed Mr. Satan and Dende instead of any of their sons. Goku makes a good point about Dende being useful for the Dragonballs, but admits that Mr. Satan wasn't planned.
    Vegeta: Your oldest brat is still stronger, so where is he?
    Goku: On Earth. So... (blinks) dead.
    Vegeta: What-did—!? (grabbing Goku by the collar) Then who did you grab?!
    Mr. Satan and Dende: Hey.
    Vegeta: (shouting with a giant head) Are you KIDDING me, Kakarot?!
    Goku: (hands clasped together while Vegeta faces away) I had to grab Dende, come on!
    Vegeta: (pointing at the duo) The magic man I get, but why that oaf?!
    Mr. Satan: You know, I can hear you!
    Vegeta: I hope you can.
    Goku: Look, I panicked and I grabbed the Dragon Balls, ok?
    Dende: (visibly offended) Oh! So that's how you see me.
  • When Dende and Mr. Satan interact for the first time:
    Mr. Satan: I see you for more than your balls.
    Dende: (crying) Your daughter's a man-stealing WHORE!
    Mr. Satan: (surprised) ...Just like her mother.
    • Mr. Satan's response is also a Call-Back to Ox-King’s reaction when Chi-Chi casually reveals her high libido with Goku. If Mr. Satan is to be believed, Goku's line apparently has a thing for feisty "Hot Asian wives".
  • 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.
    Goku: I'm gonna use the Spirit Bomb!
    Vegeta: Noooo...!
    Goku: Why!? Give me one reason!
    Vegeta: I'll give you three: You used it on me, didn't work. You used it on Freeza, didn't work! And you didn't even bother using it on Cell!
    Goku: Well yeah, because I knew it wouldn't work!
    (Vegeta gives Goku a silent look of anger/disapproval)
    Goku: (rapidly) B-but it will this time, though!
    • Vegeta relents, but only because they're truly out of options:
      Vegeta: ...Fine. But if this doesn't work, I will kill you.
      Goku: (cheerily) If this doesn't work, Buu will kill you.
      Vegeta: (growling) And I will drag you to Hell with me!
      Goku: Deal!
  • When Goku needs more energy for the Spirit Bomb to deal with Kid Buu, Vegeta volunteers to, er, ask for it. Even King Kai knows how bad this is about to go.
    Goku: Uh, guys? I need more energy! Someone talk to [Earth's people]— I'm busy bombing!
    Vegeta: Yeah, yeah. I've got it.
    King Kai: (distressedly) Oh... okay...!
  • When putting together the Spirit Bomb, Vegeta doesn't even try being nice and skips straight to calling the people of Earth out:
    Vegeta: People of Earth... (shouting loud enough to crack the cliff he's on) WHAT THE FUCK?! Put down your trash food, turn off your shit television, and get on with it! MATTER for once in your (stomping angrily) meaningless! Little! Insignificant worthless human lives!
    Citizen 1: You know what, screw this! I'm taking my energy back.
    Citizen 2: Yeah, fuck this guy.
    (Spirit Bomb drastically shrinks)
    Goku: (more annoyed than concerned) Vegeta, stop Vegeting! You're making it worse!
    Vegeta: (sounding actually offended) Don't you verb me!
  • Mr. Satan, by comparison:
    Satan: Stop! You're doing it all wrong. Let me take a swing at this.
    Vegeta: You think you can do a better speech than royalty?
    Satan: Puh-lease! I've been conning these suckers for years, a— Wait, they didn't hear that, did they?
    King Kai: (telepathically) Ugh, no.
    Satan: Good! Gotta keep that gas lit.
    King Kai: Alright. Mic's hot.
    Satan: (clears throat) PEOPLE OF EARTH—!
    Citizen 3: Wait, is that Mr. Satan?
    Citizen 4: WE LOVE YOU, SATAAAAAAN!
    (The people of Earth start chanting "HAIL SATAN!" and give their energy to the Spirit Bomb)
    Vegeta: I swear to God, I'd let that planet burn if it weren't where I kept all my stuff.
    Satan: What about your wife and kid?
    Vegeta: (slightly squeezes Satan's neck) I SAID "my stuff"!
  • Even with that there's still not enough energy. But who's left that can contribute at this point?
    Dende: (telepathically) Heeeeeeeey, you should probably... (cut to Mr. Popo at the lookout) You know?
    Mr. Popo: Oh, all right. But only one hand.
    (The Spirit Bomb suddenly grows to RIDICULOUS size)
    Goku: HO-LY SHIT!
  • After a timeskip to the epilogue's time, Goku greets Bulma like he hasn't seen her since the Buu saga only for the following conversation to point out that that conversation would have to have taken place after Dragon Ball Super.
    Goku: (warmly) Bulma! It's been so long! Ten years, right?
    Bulma: Huh? What are you talking about? I saw you barely over a year ago because of that Black Freeza nonsense.
    Goku: Oh, right! Remember when I was Black? That was weird.
    Trunks: I dyed my hair for a bit.
    Goten: And I stopped looking exactly like my dad!
    Vegeta: Was that before or after we met Broly?
    Goku: Which one?
    Vegeta: The good one.
    Goku: Oh! After.
    Bulma: Huh, whatever happened to Beerus?
    Vegeta: I think he's napping again?
    Goku: And then there was Jiren. Remember Jiren?
    Everyone: (dead silence)
    Bulma: So did you guys ever beat Freeza?
    Goku: Probably! Now let's take Pan to her first World Tournament before GT ruins her!
    Pan: Yaaaaaaay!
  • Goku's decision to train up Uub, after securing his family's future with Bulma's wealth of course, is met with surprising acceptance from his family.
    Goku: Gohan, Chi-Chi. I.. know this is probably tough to hear, but..
    Gohan: Oh no, it's cool.
    Chi-Chi: Have fun!
    Goku: Really?
    Chi-Chi: Of course! We've had you home for a decade now.
    Gohan: If anything? Lil much.
    Goku: (letting Uub climb on his back) Welp, you heard 'em. C'mon Buu!
    Uub: Uub.
    Goku: Buub!note 
  • And one last thing from Kaiser... "Apparently this is an unofficial Buu Bit and I'm okay with that."
    Trunks & Goten: (Performs special handshake) Weeeeeeee'rrrreeee boyfriends~!

    Dragon Ball Super Abridged shorts 
  • The team has done a few minis based on Dragon Ball Super: Wannabe, Black to the Future, Deadly in Pink, and Burning Blue.
  • Vegeta's reaction to Trunks' new blue hair.
    Vegeta: You think you're f—king smart?! I've become Super Saiyan Blue and you just dye your goddamn hair?! I'LL SLAP YOUR SHIT, BOY!
  • The entire conversation between Goku and Black Goku:
    Black Goku: You're good Goku. And I'm Black Goku. Goody-goody two shoes. Goody-goody two
    Goku: You're not black.
    Black Goku: (confused) Huh?
    Goku: You're, like, white. Or Asian. Or whatever we are, I dunno.
    Black Goku: You're taking it too literally. Or... not... literally enough?
    Goku: I'm just saying, I expected Black Goku. [image of a dark-skinned Black Goku with an afro] And what I got was Dark Goku. Nega Goku. Ukog.
    Black Goku: (disgruntled) You done?
    Goku: Goku is the new black. (gets punched in the stomach)
    • Personally, we prefer Blackarrot.
  • When Goku Black stabs Vegeta:
    Vegeta: HOW?! How are you so much more powerful than me?!
    Goku Black: Because Vegeta, "A rose by any other name...
    [Vegeta is stabbed]
    Goku Black: is still Goku."
    [Vegeta falls]
    Goku: Huh, different timeline, same result, eh best buddy?
    Vegeta: Fu—(blood spurts from stab wound)—ck you!!
  • Finale to the Zamasu fight + G Gundam. It fits a little too well... Doubles as a Moment of Awesome.
    Trunks: The future... the future is burning blue! THIS SWORD OF MINE BURNS WITH AN AWESOME POWER!!
  • Goku and Vegeta receive "Fight Counseling" from Whis. It's played like marriage counseling and it is HILARIOUS.
    • As a commenter put it:
      Timothy Davis: I don't know what's more ridiculous, the fact that Goku's a worse husband to Vegeta than he is to Chichi, or that he's more willing to go to counseling with him than he is with Chichi.
    • Goku hiring Hit to kill him being played like a man cheating on his wife by hiring a prostitute.
    • The implication that Goku and Piccolo went through a similar thing when Vegeta came along. And allegedly, Piccolo wasn't nearly as jealous.
  • "Pineapple Pizza": Goku, Beerus, and Whis talking pizza after some training. Turns out Beerus isn't fond of the concept of pineapple on pizza.
    Beerus: "Hawaiian"? I'm unfamiliar with that variety of pizza.
    Goku: Ooooh, it's so good! It's ham and pineapple.
    Beerus: (Beat) Excuse you and your entire race?
    Goku: Ham and pineapple.
    Beerus: That is disgusting. Why would you ruin perfectly good pizza with pineapple?
    Goku: What!? Nah, it's the best! It just plays so well with the ham and the tomato-
    Beerus: It's an abomination, and I now believe Zamasu did nothing wrong. Why would you put sweet and juicy fruit on top of a salty, delicious pizza?
    Whis: Well to be fair, Lord Beerus, tomato is a fruit.
    Beerus: Don't you play Dabura's advocate here, Whis! Lest you suggest we start filling calzones with raspberry jam.
    Goku: (awed) That sounds delicious.
    Beerus: (grabs Goku by the face) Of course you'd say that! I'm an epicurean. You wolf down Big Macs like Tic-Tacs!
    Goku: Oooh, I want a burger now. Can we do burgers, instead?
    Beerus: (lets go of Goku) Hmmm... now that you mention it, I could blow up a planet for some WhatABurger. No, In-N-Out! NO, SHAKE SHACK!
    Whis: I've a preference for Hopdoddy's, personally.
    Beerus: I'll take a double-bacon cheeseburger, caramelised onions, lettuce, chipotle mayo, and ketchup! (voice drops menacingly) No pickles.
    Goku: And I'll take the same, but with grilled pineapple!
    Beerus: GUUUUAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRGGGH!
    (Beerus' Planet explodes, Whis and Beerus can be seen looking over the destruction)
    Beerus: Ah, dammit, I want a fajita plate now. Whis, rewind.
  • And now we have Vegeta's Bingo Dance. Summed up in just one line.
    Krillin: What the hell is Vegeta doing?
    • And remember: they did not change anything! This is the closest thing they've done to a straightforward fandub of the source material.

    Episode Breakdowns 
  • In the Breakdown for Episode 40, KaiserNeko reveals a cut scene where Krillin has a cocker spaniel's head for his reply to the "cocker spaniel" line.
  • KaiserNeko's reasoning in the Breakdown for Episode 44 why one of the football players has a censored head:
    KaiserNeko: If I remove the mosaic, my video gets taken down for obscene content.
  • In the Breakdown for Episode 45, Kaiser accidentally gives Mr. Popo Blank White Eyes and starts screaming at the sheer creepiness of it.
    Kaiser: In this shot, I posted a shot of GokÅ« from an earlier scene. And moved Mr. Popo's eyes, making a separate laye—
    (Popo's pupils disappear)
    Kaiser: OH, MY GOD! OH, MY GOD! THAT IS SO MUCH WORSE! THAT IS SO MUCH WORS—
    (Scene shifts to Kaiser speaking normally about another scene)
  • KaiserNeko's breakdown during the... episode breakdown for Cooler 2 about how the movie has so many plot holes and inconsistencies with the canon, as well as horrible artwork and inconsistent key frame animation, leads him to temporarily drop his normal happy-go-lucky speaker voice, and instead repeatedly stating "F*ck this movie!" in an utterly exhausted voice. He even starts off with it, saying it repeatedly as the screen shows some of the many Off-Model moments of the film.
    • And at the end, he starts gushing at The World's Strongest, and mentions wanting to abridge that as well.
    • Kaiser comments that most people think that they got David Eddings, the voice of Claptrap, to do the voice of the Service Droid, but explains that the voice was done by someone named "Lee Rastus", and encourages people to google that name if they wish to know more. Of course, most people who actually tried searching "Lee Rastus" quickly discovered that it is pseudonym sometime used by David Eddings.
  • His reason for Freeza flipping the bird in DBZ Kai Abridged Episode 2
    I did this because I'm twelve years old...
  • According to the History of Trunks Breakdown, the team was that close to actually having Gohan accept Bulma's proposition. And they recorded the lines anyway. Seems Saiyans have similar sex habits.note 
    Future Bulma: Right there, yes, yes, YES
    Future Gohan: (grunting) MASENKO... HAA!!!
    (ki blast pierces the roof)
    • This is also preceded by his using a bit of quote mining.
      KaiserNeko: You know that scene where Bulma propositions Gohan for his, uh...
      Gohan: Mister Gohan would!
    • Also from the History of Trunks Breakdown, KaiserNeko wonders why he decided to edit out Yamcha out of both his scenes. And at the moment where he remembers why he did such edits:
    KaiserNeko: (has seen the corpse of Yamcha hanging on the ceiling) Oh... Oh, right... b-because in this timeline... huh...
    • Again from the History of Trunks Breakdown, KaiserNeko's, uh, increasingly hysterical reactions to the length of the breakdown.
    • Kaiser letting us know that the moaning sound in TJ and The Wombat's scene was created by the same actress that voiced 18... then doing a montage of clips of 18 making that sound.
  • Episode 48 Breakdown: "Hey look! It's the KOC!"note 
  • Episode 50 Breakdown: Kaiser, continuing the joke of Cell's ass talking which he found hilarious, decides to give him a new line. And him switching to the next scene of Tien with a sweatdrop on his face may or may not have been intentional since you can still hear Cell scatting.
    Skabadebaldbabababababab *suddenly switches to imperfect Cell's voice* I'm a scatman! Skobedelapabababa.
    • Early in the breakdown, Kaiser is completely flabbergasted when he realizes that the series has been going on for seven years.
      • After listing all their creations over that time period with a title card for each flashing, Kaiser pauses to take a breath. At the same time a title card for Attack on Titan flashes briefly with a note that it is cancelled and never coming back.
  • The Super Android 13 Abridged breakdown has a quick bonus as Kaiser talks about an animation error concerning Trunks's nose. If you look closely at the left side of the screen you can see the image name pop up as "Fix That Fucking Nose.png".
  • In the breakdown for Episode 52, KaiserNeko accidentally mispronounces Goku's name as "Cuckoo" at one point. This mistake is amusing when considering the fact that the previous breakdown began with him talking about some people getting upset over how he usually insists on pronouncing the name as "Son GokÅ«"note  because it's more accurate to the original Japanese.
  • In the Episode 60 Breakdown (a livestream for Patreon patrons later released on YouTube), Kaiser notes he loved writing SS2 Gohan as "this dark, venomous creature who is just 150% done with everyone's shit."
    • He reveals Takahata101's full audio of him giving birth to the Cell Juniors.
      Perfect Cell: Ughh...ugh...UAGHHHHHHHH....ohh...oh, remember your breathing exercises! C'mon Cell, c'mon Cell, push! Raughhhhh! Blessed be the fruit! Blessed be the fruit! Nghuuhhhhhhh! You did this to me! You did this to me! You all did this to me! UUUuuhhggggghhhh! Auughhhhhhh..... ahhhhh, I love you! I loveeee youuuu... Uhhhhhh! ''(crying)'' Ohohoahahaaa.. oh my god, they're so beautiful! They've got my face! They've got my face! (Taka then clears his throat) okay I'm good, I'm good.
    • He reveals Takahata101 actually recorded a full cover of "Suddenly" by Billy Ocean.
    • He says he would've preferred not having to censor the F bombs in Gohan's burn on Vegeta while telling Trunks to pass out the senzu beans.

    Creator Commentaries 
  • The very first commentary video kicks off with Lani pointing out how it's been nearly 15 years since they started DBZA at the time of recording, to which Kaiser immediately snarks about starting with that factoid. Lani then points out how 15 years is a long time, to the point that some fans who discovered the show way later after its conclusion may not have even been born at the time of the first episode's release, with Kaiser having trouble processing the comment, signified with the video turning grayscale. This is then followed up by Lani saying "Hi!" before realizing this entire bit was probably a bad way to start the video.
    • When they both note that they have to re-watch and cringe at 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 second and third episode commentary, they reach the one mistake that KaiserNeko will never let go of, that being the infamous bit where Bulma suddenly is wearing a Scouter that she shouldn't have yet, complete with a lampshade via the scrolling text of "where'd that scouter come from" to cover up the fact he couldn't edit it out at the time. Kaiser can only groan in pain while Lani excitedly hypes up the moment.
  • The Episode 10 Commentary has a few gems:
    • Kaiser and Lani note that they once did a RiffTrax for Dragon Ball Evolution (since one of the jokes in the Episode made fun of the premise of Goku going to high-school), which is then followed by him promoting said item, and then making verbal reminders to himself in the video, but then realizes he's not editing the video, so he tells himself to remind someone else to do it. It devolves into him asking the viewer to remind them if it's not there to put it in the description of the video, followed by asking the viewer to like, comment, and subscribe (accompanied with several animated graphics of said action).
    • While Goku gathers up the energy for the Spirit Bomb, there's the cut to him accidentally draining possibly more than necessary, which ends up killing an innocent deer. Kaiser can only watch in horror for a few moments while Lani cracks up at the Black Comedy.
    • When Vegeta lands back on Earth after being hit by the Spirit Bomb, he then causes everyone to freak out when they realize he's still alive... except the moment is undercut a bit by the episode conveying this via freeze frames in order to hold on the scream shot, which Kaiser cringes at. The footage of Lani and Kaiser suddenly using freeze frames during the moment is the cherry-on-top.
  • In the DBZA Creator Commentary: Best of Season 1 compilation video, just as Piccolo lays dying after protecting Gohan from Nappa things get... weird.
    Piccolo: Why... didn't... you... DOOOOOOODGE!? ...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.
  • In the Episode 16 commentary, there's this great bit of unintentional Double Entendre (from a Zarbon episode, no less):
    Vegeta: Face-down with another man beating your ass. Is it Wednesday already Zarbon?
    Kaiser: That [line] gets quoted to me a lot.
    Lani: Yup. (Beat) Wait...
    Kaiser: (while Lani is cracking up) Not like that!
  • In the 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 referenced in the official IDW Sonic comics.
    Lanipator: As a furry, that's gotta ring true in your heart somewhere, that you got referenced in Sonic.
    (KaiserNeko glares at Lanipator with a forced smile for no less than twenty seconds without saying a word)
  • Episode 31 is the beginning of Season 3, with Kaiser and Lani pointing out that it begins with everyone's favorite saga: The Garlic Jr. Saga!
  • Kaiser and Lani's reactions to Taka suddenly appearing after the moment Imperfect Cell appears is to scream in terror.
    Taka: What up bitches? I'm here.
    Lani: OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD
    Kaiser: AHHHHHHHHHHHHHH—
    • Following Taka's arrival he almost always screws up the outro in reference to him frequently needing line reads in the booth. Every time he says something different it leaves Lani and Kaiser frustrated, with them noting how they're reacting similarly to how Taka would always go off-script when doing recording.
  • In episode 43's commentary, Takahata101 mentions how he kept trying to get KaiserNeko to let him dub Cell's tail sucking sounds himself, which was always rejected.
    Takahata101 (notices KaiserNeko looking mortified): What's wrong, Scott? Why didn't you like my suck sounds? Were they not believable enough?
    KaiserNeko: Hey, I used all your lines!
    (Takahata101 and Lanipator lose it, then Lanipator high-fives KaiserNeko)
    Takahata101: Is that why you had to line read me?! (laughs) Scott! I got too much- Scott, I'm not sucking enough, how do I do it?
    Lanipator: Drink that water for that burn!
    Takahata101: Put the- put the dick in your mouth and go- (gargles the water bottle) Fuck you, Scott! I complimented your acting all the fucking—Never mind, I take back all my Trunks compliments! Scott's Trunks is terrible! Mid at best! Why c—You know what, they need to cast a 50 year old man to play hi—(Wheezes, laughs, and coughs).
    Takahata101 (as Cell) FUCK YOU!
  • 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 no one in-game would likely take him seriously in his normal voice (to which Taka quips "we don't in the writer's room!"), so he deepens it when speaking in TF2's public lobbies. Lani notes out how it sounds like an impression of Patrick Warburton, which quickly leads to the three doing impressions of Kaiser playing Team Fortress 2 while the editor overlays their faces with various roles that Warburton has done.
  • For the Meta Cooler movie, Kaiser immediately says "F*CK THIS MOVIE" within the first few seconds.
    • 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.
      Taka!Goku: Wow Vegeta they're making me watch! (the other two crack up)
      Lani: Goku's just the guy in the chair.
      Taka!Goku: Oh man they're just making me watch right now! Oh god there's another, I think he's gonna kick you in the dick Vegeta!
      Taka!Vegeta: Shut up! Shut up, I know what they're gonna do!
      Lani and Taka: AAAAAAAAAAAAGH!
  • In History of Trunks, at the end they remark that Trunks would've been riding high after completely curb-stomping Freeza, only to get a reality check when Goku casually blocks his sword with a finger. Also, they remark that it's hilarious that Freeza thought he'd be able to defeat Goku when he got his ass kicked by Trunks, who was weaker and less skilled than Goku at that time.
    • Taka and Lani recall the story behind the cut joke of Bulma propositioning herself to Future Gohan, where Lani and Taka fought Kaiser over including it until Kaiser won out by vetoing them both. Taka points out the similarities Vegeta and Future Gohan, both being strong, muscular saiyans, which Lani follows up with "they aren't related by blood, which might be a turn off for her," causing him and Taka to crack up. Kaiser can only give an look of abject horror and what could only be described as "confused internal screaming," which only gets them both laughing harder.
      Lani: That's the face I was looking for.
    • Taka then admits part of the joke was inspired by a YouTube video called "the soothing sound of 14 pitched down crying babies" which features a picture of Phoebus from The Hunchback of Notre Dame (Disney) staring at the ceiling in dread. This segues into the idea of that Gohan and Bulma would be hooking up in the room right next to him, and Trunks can hear the whole damn thing, which is recreated by Editor Nies in the commentary video. Taka also mentions a cut piece of dialogue that didn't even make it into the Episode breakdown, where there would have been a bit where Gohan says "Call me Goku," which leaves Kaiser shaking his head while saying "no."
    • Kaiser and Lani talking about the compliments Christopher Sabat has given them - in particular Chris having told Kaiser that he had done one of the most natural performances for Trunks he had ever heard (and Kaiser, who is very much the type who doesn't have a lot of self-esteem about his own work saying "and I will sail on that till I die!"), and Chris tweeting that if he dies, he'd leave the part of Vegeta to Lani in his will, which Lani very much doubts would stand but still feels like it's a tweet he should print and frame on his wall.
  • Episode 46 has Taka point out that one of Dr. Briefs' lines would sound similar to what Mr. Burns would say, which briefly leads to a quick impression of the two Simpsons characters.
    Taka!Smithers: M-Mr. Burns, you can't kidnap an orphan.
    Lani!Burns: Of course you can't kidnap orphans, they weren't wanted in the first place!
  • As the guys get excited for Tien's big moment at the end of the commentary for Episode 47 Taka breaks into a bit with Semi-Perfect Cell intending to take to twitlonger to call him out for it. It goes off the rails quickly.
    Taka: (As Semi-Perfect Cell) I am—I have opinions and I'm gonna twitlonger it because it was offensive and he should have let me have my W. I don't know why Tien wanted me to not have my W but—(Incoherent noise)
    Kaiser: Would Perfect Cell... Would Perfect Cell get the blue checkmark?
    (Beat)
    Taka: (As Perfect Cell) Elon would give me the blue checkmark.
    Kaiser: Yeah, he would give it to him. He absolutely would. But Cell would even be like "I don't want this!"
    Taka: (As Cell) Why are you—Dude, I've annihilated people, this is dumb.
    Lani: I've tuned out of this conversation...
    Taka: (Laughs) I think we're cut at that point, right?
    Lani: I hope so.
  • Episode 50's commentary has Taka point how people wrongfully attribute him being the voice of Android 16, which leads to him demonstrating how similar Taka's Guru and Remix/Joshua Gotay's portrayal of 16 are within the same voice register. It then devolves into Taka, Lani, and Kaiser doing Android 16 impressions, with them doing a bit that somehow resulted in several Android 16s having a conference.
    Lani!16: Welcome to Andro-con. Hello!
    Taka!16: Hello, I am also Android 16.
    Lani!16: I am also Android 16!
    Taka!16: (turning to Kaiser) Are you also Android 16?
    Kaiser!16: I am also Android 16, how are you? Hello!
    (all three start shaking hands with each other)
    Kaiser!16: Hello!
    Lani!16: Hello.
    Taka!16: Birds!
    Kaiser!16: Birds?
    Lani!16: Birds.
    Taka!16: Did you know there are birds on every continent? Including the ocean?!
    Lani!16: Wow.
    Taka!16: That's amazing.
  • At the end of World's Strongest, Taka once again flubs the outro.
    Taka: ...that we're watching?
    Lani: I fucking—why? Why do I let you stay in my house?
    Taka: I—(stammers)
    Lani: I cook you food!
    Taka: (quietly) It was really good food...
    Kaiser: There's a reason I never let him stay in my apartment.
    Taka: He made carnitas. He made carnitas...
    Lani: I'm gonna go have one and pee... (wearily gets up)
    Taka: ..........Line? (Smiles)
  • In Episode 54, during Cell's takeover of the news channel, Kaiser points out that Penguin Village is on the list of towns Cell "visited", with Lani sarcastically wishing goodbye to Arale, before Kaiser corrects him by saying that Arale probably survived by virtue of being a gag character. They all decide that, canonically, Penguin Village is fine because Cell tried to fight Arale "for a minute", got the shit slapped out of him, and decided it was simply not worth it and just left, with the city being added to the list on a technicality.
  • The commentary for Episode 56 has the team discuss how Lani was originally going to play Mr. Satan, as his Chris Rager impression was pretty spot-on. They decided that Antfish was the better choice considering Lani was already Piccolo and Vegeta, which leads to Lani and Kaiser giving some anecdotes regarding the time they got the chance to do voice acting for Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2.
    • According to Lani he went in to record first, which he was told they needed an older gruff and southern voice or a high and effeminate voice, to which Lani immediately figured he was going to do the former. Lani's deep, gruff, voice was essentially his Chris Rager impression as Mr. Satan, which was repurposed from the above mentioned time he was penned to play the character in the series. When he started doing Mr. Satan's attacks in this voice (eg. Dynamite Kick), he remembers asking if the line came out right to Chris Sabat, to which he replied "Yeah, just... I remember why this voice is familiar now."
    • Kaiser recalls that he came in after Lani, where he was wondering what voice he was going to need to do, as he wasn't sure which voices were left for the custom character. When he arrived at the studio, he was told "basically it's a gay guy," to which Kaiser jokingly responded (in a campy lisp) "Oh, I get it." He notes that he's heard fans say they would use his voice option for their Freeza race characters, to which he was ecstatic about. Funnily enough, the effeminate voice he used in this commentary video would be pretty similar to how he would play Sharpner in Buu Bits.
    • Taka remembers that he had to record his character lines the day after WrestleMania 32, where they had stood outside in the burning Texas sun for 8 hours and were exhausted by the end of it.
  • In the commentary for Broly, Lani reveals it was his idea to make the Shamoshans into masochists. Kaiser was kind of against it because it was a "Rick and Morty joke" but Taka backed Lani up. They all express their delight at reactors when they get to this part.
    • During the guitar solo section of "The Legend of Broly" number at the end, Taka follows up Lani's "THAT'S THE LEGEND OF BROLY, EVERYBODY!" by saying "Shout-Out to the kid who wrote that letter into the newspaper." Cue the editor briefly showing an image of a newspaper section that highlights "if you were a superhero, who'd you be," accompanied by said kid's drawing of Broly in crayon, along with the caption "Broly from Dragon Ball Z. His power is maximum."note 
    • Earlier in the commentary, Takahata101's response to KaiserNeko complaining about the strain the King Kai voice puts on his throat:
      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 destroyer of South Galaxy.
      (Pilaf hums to himself as he makes breakfast before Goku suddenly appears behind him)
      Goku: Pilaf, I know it was you!
      Pilaf: Goku, what are you doing here?!
      Goku: Hunting down a monster! And I found one!
      Pilaf: I'm just making breakfast!
      Goku: Oh, I'd be pretty hungry too after what you did!
      Pilaf: Please, Goku, my therapist says I've been doing so much better since I got out of your life. I haven't done anything! Just leave me alone!
      Goku: Sure. But you know what happens, right? If you step out of line. (smacks his fist in his palm. Pilaf starts sobbing) I'm watching you. (disappears just as Shu enters the room)
      Shu: Sire! What's wrong?
      Pilaf: G-Goku! H-he was-!
      Shu: Shh shhhh, there's nobody here, sire. It's just you and me.
      Pilaf: 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) Where's Mai?
      (Goku suddenly returns)
      Goku: And another thing!
      (Pilaf and Shu scream in terror)
  • When they start the Episode 59 commentary, they realize that it's not the right version of the Episode, as they don't hear Larry doing the I Do Not Own disclaimer at the start. This confuses the hell out of the three, since the file was called "DBZA 59 Final Draft" on the laptop, and apparently couldn't find the Episode on the drive either. As such, they decide to just download the file off of YouTube, which will take a while to download since their office's Internet is slow. They decide to shoot the shit with various topics and Leave the Camera Running for the commentary while downloading the Episode.
  • Episode 60 Part 2 has Taka remembering how Kaiser reprimanded him for playing the Cell Jrs. a little too silly with the voice, only for Taka to verbally point out that they're Cell Jrs.
  • KaiserNeko finding out, in real time, that Perfect Cell's rendition of Billy Ocean's Suddenly was actually just a straight Family Guy 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: I'm gonna throw you off a cliff.
  • The Episode 60 Part 3 commentary has Taka finally telling the story of when he met Dameon Clarke after he'd been cast as Cell for the Abridged series. 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 Whiplash.
    Lani: He literally "not my tempo'd" you.
    Taka: I literally pointed out, "dude, you just J. K. Simmons'd me!" and he was like "I totally just J.K. Simmons'd you..."
  • After the emotional and bittersweet Part 3 commentary, that had the three members crying their hearts out, Lani then brings up they still have the epilogue, which Kaiser almost immediately forgot about, bringing up how they're undercutting the emotional finale, with Lani even lampshading how it's really anticlimactic as well.
  • Taka manages to screw up the outro one last time before he leaves the commentary tracks, on the epilogue no less.
  • The Kai 2.9 commentary has the whole table cracking up when hearing Krillin's uncensored "FUCK" after getting punched by Tard.
    • When Baby from GT appears, Kaiser and Lani briefly point out this is one of the only times a GT character has appeared in DBZA, only for Taka to remind them of the Para Para Brothers, complete with him doing the same song and dance he did as the character from the Flash Forward in Bardock: Father of Goku.
  • The commentary for Kai 3.0 and 3.5:
    • The brief discussion at the beginning about Kenji Yamamoto's plagarised music — they highlight that many of his music tracks being obviously plagarised had been known for many years and yet Toei still brought him on for Kai. Then Kaiser points out that what likely killed his career was plagarising a song from James Cameron's Avatar (which, needless to say, was a really stupid idea in itself, between how high-profile that movie was and that 20th Century Fox's lawyers would've likely come after Toei if they had found out). And then Taka proceeds to mock that film by remarking on how utterly forgettable that film's soundtrack was.
    • Taka pointing out the Bazinga attack is indeed a The Big Bang Theory reference, to which Kaiser asks if anyone wouldn't get that joke, only for Lani to quip that they wouldn't get the joke if they have good taste in television shows. Kaiser then incredulously asks "then why are they watching us?" Lani and Kaiser remain silent for a good ten seconds before continuing the commentary track.
  • The commentary for Plan to Eradicate Christmas starts with Lani and Kaiser explaining Taka's absence by claiming they buried him. Why? "A terrible moose incident." Specifically, a moose followed him from Canada and murdered him. The best part, however, is that the footage from Taka's VTubing channel implies that it was Haruka Karibu that did the dirty deed.
    Kaiser: Don't screw around with mooses. They will assassinate you.

Alternative Title(s): Dragon Ball Abridged
