Episode 1: Cell in a Hell
- The first exchange of the entire series... and it's one massive Call-Back.King Yemma: So... Do you just not wear clothes or...?
Cell: Pffft! And cover up all this?
King Yemma: Fair enough. Makes my job quicker.
Cell: First quick thing since I've got here. You know I was in line for a year, right? - King Yemma's baffled reactions at the fact that Cell is technically six, and was killed by an eleven-year-old.Cell: Not my fault fights on the playground get so violent nowadays...
- King Yemma is reasonably horrified going over Cell's sins.King Yemma: Well, let's take a look at your sins and... (Beat) Oh... oh...! Aw, jeez! And this is just your... first form?
Cell: (Chuckles) What can I say? I'm a thirsty bitch!
King Yemma: Yeeeep. This is a Code Orange... - King Yemma tells Cell to "enjoy the barbecue in Hell". A little later, when Cell is introduced to his neighbors in HFIL, what are they doing? Enjoying a barbecue!
- When Cell is waking up, Goz calls for Mez through blurred speech, the latter revealing that the trip to Hell knocked out Cell for 24 hours.Goz: Zat'd be bad if he weren't already dead.
- The first two things Cell demands to know from Goz and Mez when he comes to are expected. The third and more emphasized one, on the other hand...Cell: What the—!? Where am I!? Who are you!? And why are you German!?
- Best part? They originally weren't, given that they started as parodies of Hanz and Franz, and therefore are Austrian, though they did gain a small All Germans Are Nazis element in Goz's cameo in Episode 29. Neither of those elements appear here, but the voices and accents stayed.
- Cell's reaction to HFIL is, understandably, a confused one.Cell: This is a cul-de-sac!
- Goz and Mez very quickly get on Cell's nerves and he tries to kill them. It doesn't pan out.Cell: Okay, cool. You two are charming brothers, or lovers, or both, I don't judge. But I want you to both know that before I kill you I will always remember how unconvincing your German accents were. (Cocks his arm like a shotgun, charges up a ki blast that sputters out with a little fart) Ohhhhh no... (Goz clobbers Cell over the head with his Kanabō)
- After Hellsing Ultimate Abridged it's a bit hard to not hear The Major when Goz speaks, even though Lani's role as Goz predates the Major's by quite a bit.
- Goz's club and Cell's cognitive functions do not get along well.Cell (childishly dazed) Uuuuugh... I miss muh mommy. She was a computer, she hurrgh--she went "beep!"
Mez: (As Goz throws Cell over his shoulder) Alright, Goz! I zink it's party time!
Cell: (still dazed) But mommy i-it's not my birthday—(speaking normally)—Aaaaaand you're carrying me! - The Ginyu Force is introduced to the series sans their captain and playing beer pong. Except Goz and Mez won't give them beer so they have to make do with Shasta of all things.Guldo: Oh goddammit!
Recoome: Recoome wonders why we're doing this with Shasta.
Jeice: Because the bloomin' c**ts runnin' this place won't give us beer!
Burter: I prefer Sprite.
Jeice: And I prefer BEER!- The idea that Goz and Mez were too cheap to even get the Ginyus a name brand cola like Coca Cola instead of a generic brand like Shasta is hilarious. Well, either that or the Shasta is all the Ginyus are allowed. They are being punished after all.
- Goz and Mez discuss the Ginyu Force's enthusiasm for rehab.Goz: Zey took to synchronized dance like ze Internet took to Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen ven zey turned 18.
Cell: So... they'd been doing it for years?
Mez: To a problematic degree. - Cell's year in King Yemma's line was all he needed to completely forget who the hell Raditz is.
- Cell meets Zarbon and it goes about how you'd expect.Zarbon: Mmmm~!
Cell: Mmmm~!
(They lean in and chuckle at one another)
Cell: Mmmmmm~!
Zarbon: Mmmmmm~!
(More chuckling)
Cell: Oh wow! That was wild! What was that about? - Cell's despondent horror at the Ginyu Force's favorite dance: The Twerkarena, a combination of twerking and the Macarena, with Guldo performing the latter portion of the dance with a deadpan face. It's every bit as awful as it sounds.Cell: No. No no. No no no no no no!
- Even funnier when you notice that, behind him, Dodoria and Zarbon are enjoying the show.
- At long last, Freeza and Cell finally meet. And their conversation about trying to break their ankle bracelets briefly switches to Goz and Mez.Cell: (trying to smash shackle with a rock) GOD! DAMN! SON OF A! BITCH!
Freeza: That's not going to work.
Cell: Okay, Freeza, last time I checked, I'm a wee bit stronger than you, alright? Alright. (tries to smash the shackle again) GOD! DAMN! SON OF A! BITCH!
Freeza: Listen, Bell.
Cell: It's Cell and you know that.
Freeza: A rock was the second thing I tried to smash it with. The first was those ogres' heads.
Cell: Oh god, what is up with those guys? What's—what's the joke? That they're German? Is that it!?
Freeza: You know, oddly, it grows on you!
Cell: I don't believe you.
Freeza: (cheerfully) And I was lying! - Freeza isn't exactly fond of the Ginyu Force's new dance either.Cell: So you're saying this is it. Hell is literally other people and ARE THEY STILL TWERKING!?
Freeza: Yes, should see them practice. It's terrifying. (shudders)- In life, Freeza already knew what kind of kooks the Ginyu Force was. Considering that their affinity for twerking only happened in HFIL, it's this that bothers Freeza.
- Freeza's speech to Cell on why he hasn't escaped is outright chilling. Cell's response to it, on the other hand...Cell: (being strangled by Freeza's tail) Y-You've awakened something, I think...!
- While it is appropriately terrifying, it becomes Hilarious in Hindsight when you remember that, despite this direct reminder of him being the most unrepentant resident of HFIL, not only is Freeza going to be confined to his own personal hell, presumably sometime after this, he's the only one of them that canonically gets out. TWICE. And the second one being permanent so far.
- Likewise, Cell's initial dismissal of him due to their (now-non-existent) difference in power level is hilarious when you know Freeza does canonically become much stronger than Cell.
- When the Ogres give Cell his key, he silently looks back and forth between it and his raised wrist, seemingly contemplating using the key on his wrist, or just noticing that the key matches the colors and patterns of his shell, possibly seeing it as an extra layer of humiliation.
- The return of Super Kami Guru!Guru: Hello Other New Naaaaaaaail!
Cell: (completely unamused) Kill me.
Raditz: Way past that, buddy.
Guru: You've got bottom bunk!- Cell's reaction is doubly funny considering when he was asked in DBZA proper if Guru ever returns to the story his answer was an enthusiastic "I wish!" Now he's too miserable and fed up with his new arrangements to care.
- You get no points for guessing who the first "New Nail" is. And what that probably entailed...
- And you can still see the Ginyu Force twerking in the background.
- And now we have one whole hour
of Ginyu Force twerking to… enjoy!
Episode 2: Sharing Circles in Hell
- Cell is still trying to break free from the Power Nullifier. This time, he tries to cut his leg off with shears so he can just regrow a new leg without it. It fails, and the shears break with a piece flying into a water keg by Raditz. For added hilarity, Cell was quickly humming his own theme from the dub/Abridged series before the failed attempt.Raditz: You think they let us have shears if that was going to work?
- Raditz point out that there used to be a way out, that being the way Goku got out. What's keeping it blocked? Two boards and a "STAY OUT" sign, and nothing else.
- Raditz then told Cell how they found out that souls are indestructible.Freeza: And... pull!
(the Ginyu Force all try to pull off Raditz's limbs with the latter screaming in pain)
Freeza: Guldo, pull harder or else I'll have you replaced with Zarbon. (turns head to Zarbon) Zarbon, prepare to replace Guldo.
Zarbon: Mmmm~!- Why it was allowed to go on in the first place:Raditz: The ogres didn't stop them, because they called it... "team building".
- Why it was allowed to go on in the first place:
- When the Ogres check in with Guru during the sharing circle (due to him being too big to move so they set up a walkie-talkie for him), what does he say?"New Nail? The box is talking again!"
- How does Super Kami Guru sum up his incredibly gruesome, yet well-deserved death?
- Cell busts out laughing when he hears that Raditz was killed by Piccolo:
- Raditz explains that he escaped from Hell, and attempted to flee from King Yemma. This only got him so far before, not looking where he was going, he fell off the Snake Way and was sent back.Flashback!Raditz: HAHAHAHAHA!! Good luck, assholes! You'll never catch the great Rad—(falls off)—iiiiiiiiiiiiiii...!
Raditz: Side note, you guys really need to put handrails on that thing.
Goz: Zey're on back-order.- Also, his description of his confrontation with King Yemma is nothing more than a sidenote:Raditz: Well, they tried to put me through the Soul Scrubber, but my hair got caught in it, so... I broke free, got in a fight with that big red guy, kicked him square in the red beanbag, and—
- Also, his description of his confrontation with King Yemma is nothing more than a sidenote:
- While explaining to Cell how every single one of Freeza's minions managed to get themselves killed by Vegeta, it's revealed that Zarbon has long since caught onto his... unfortunate way of speaking and is trying (and failing) to suppress it much to his own despair. Burter on the other hand...Burter: For me, he just slammed me deep in the throat!
(Beat as everyone looks at him concerned)
Burter: What? I'm doing these on purpose. I'm gay as sunshine!
Jeice: Suave!
(the two High-Five each other)- For the record, Zarbon's innuendos:Zarbon: I thought I could take him, but he really tore up my insides and— I, no! I mean, he blew out my backside— gah! Dammit!
Dodoria: It's fine, you're catchin' it now.
Zarbon: But I'm so used to pitching. (sobs) Noooooo! - Guldo describing how he was killed by Vegeta.Guldo: He cut off my head. In front of all of my friends!
Jeice: And us!
Guldo: (stares at Jeice and slowly tilts his head as his mouth goes wide in disbelief, then Burter high-fives Guldo's outstretched palm) - Goz fanning his face with papers, bored out of his mind... all while Recoome is doing his wrestling poses and catch phrase while standing on the chair next to him.Recoome: THE NAME'S… RECOOME! IT RHYMES… WITH DOOM! AND VEGETA'S THE ONE WHO PUT ME IN MY TOMB!
- Cell's opinion on the matter is as such:Cell: Holy shit! No wonder Vegeta had an over-inflated ego, you all fed him!
- For the record, Zarbon's innuendos:
- Freeza gloats that he killed Vegeta, and everyone in the circle gives him a completely sincere round of applause. Because even in Hell, no one likes Vegeta.Freeza: (more than a little pleased with himself) Hmm~♪ You're welcome.
- Freeza's way of telling about his death is to start at the beginning — the very beginning, including his childhood and relationship with Cooler. Goz and Mez have to remind him repeatedly to get to the point. Goz even threatens him with his club, which finally gets Freeza to stop beating around the bush.Freeza: (sullenly) ...I was killed by the Super Saiyan.
(everyone claps politely) - One of the things Freeza complains about in regard to his childhood is never finding out how his species reproduces. To be fair, we're not 100% sure, either, but it stands to reason that King Cold never got around to giving his son The Talk.
- Freeza's way of telling about his death is to start at the beginning — the very beginning, including his childhood and relationship with Cooler. Goz and Mez have to remind him repeatedly to get to the point. Goz even threatens him with his club, which finally gets Freeza to stop beating around the bush.
- When it becomes Cell's turn, he starts his story in the exact same way as Freeza. And then proceeds to explain almost his entire life story, without a single interruption from Goz and Mez.Cell: ...In a way, I defeated myself.
Freeza: (making no attempt to hide his annoyance) Oh, my god!- Referencing the old dub, Raditz perks up considerably when Cell mentions that his "father" was a brilliant scientist, since that would be something they have in common.
- After Cell finishes by saying he was blown up by Goku's "crotch-spawn", Freeza starts laughing at him. The others follow suit, even Raditz.
- One of the first things Freeza does is ask how many forms Cell had. Itself a meta-joke about the way all Z-era villains after Freeza had multiple forms. And while Freeza boasts that he had four forms to Cell's three, the bug-man gets the upper hand.Cell: And this was the one you landed on?
(Goz supresses a chuckle) - Cell quickly gets the rest of the circle on his side by saying that his more grotesque attributes ("smelling like patchouli") were probably the result of Vegeta's DNA being included in him. Even Freeza has to chuckle a bit. That said, not everyone was in on the joke.Guldo: ...what's patchouli?
- Freeza starts mocking Cell for being killed by a child, and that of Goku no less. Only for it to not even faze Cell, because:
- Gohan was probably the strongest living mortal in Universe 7 at that point.
- Cell knows something that Freeza doesn't: that the Super Saiyan that killed Freeza was Vegeta's son (for bonus points, said son was trained by Gohan's future self).
- Not to mention how Cell responds to Freeza calling him proud about it. Cell admits to not being proud while also letting Freeza know that he is willing to be honest about it.Freeza: What was it that killed you again? A child...?
Cell: Oh, Gohan? Yeah, kid was jacked! It was actually kinda gross.
Freeza: Literally felled by a whelp, and Goku's no less! Yet you seem so adorably proud of yourself!
Cell: Proud? No! But I'm not gonna act all insecure about it. What kind of loser would that make me?
Goz: An infinite one?
Cell: Mmm-hmm! - Cell also immediately begins taking shots at Freeza about how he was cut into a rather large number of pieces before death. Twice.Cell: I'm not trying to cut you to pieces in front of everyone or anything!
Freeza: Hmph! A wise decisi— (realization hits) Uh... Uhm...
Cell: Now that we are on the subject — what planet did you die on again? I don't remember... Was it Namek, or Earth...?
Freeza: (boiling with barely supressed rage) The planet I deemed to conquer...
Cell: Well... I guess things got dicey! - Cell's turn to get in on the innuendos:Cell: You want to see me make a choice right now, Freeza? Because I'm about to make one all over your face!
Zarbon: (raises his hand) Hmm?
Dodoria: (stops him) Mmm-mmmm.
Zarbon: (disappointed) Mm. - As Cell and Freeza's dick-measuring contest turns hectic, Mez gives an annoyed expression as he sits between the two self-important MCMs, as if to say "ugh, this again". Then, he gets up and walks away to get the disciplinary clubs.
- The two MCMs' fight gets pre-emptively cut off (just as Cell was about to reveal to Freeza his killer's actual identity) by Goz and Mez smacking them both over the head with their clubs. They fall to the ground in ridiculous poses.
- Goz and Mez decide that they need to do something to help Cell and Freeza "release some tension". That something happens to be völkerball (aka dodgeball), announced with Mez doing a Scary Shiny Glasses pose and Goz speaking German with his deepest voice possible.
- Which also caps off a running gag with this episode: Cell getting annoyed by one ogre saying something in German or using an acronym and the other ogre translating.Cell: (weakly, from the ground) Then just say that...!
- Because of course of all sports, it'd be DOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODGE!!! …ball.
- Which also caps off a running gag with this episode: Cell getting annoyed by one ogre saying something in German or using an acronym and the other ogre translating.
- The Brick Joke from the start of the episode when Raditz is preparing a large water dispenser used to "feed Guru". The Stinger shows Guru drinking from it as if it were a baby bottle.
- Unrelated to the episode itself, but the HiDive ad after. The entire thing is a gigantic lampshade of a spoof on the typical "disembodied voice promoting a product to help the hapless customer with their problem" type of commercial, including the fact that the voice* is the one at a loss, and Lani is the one who ends up talking about HiDive.
- The entire commercial also calls the discs Lani's organizing as "anime", except it's pretty obvious they're hentai albeit.
- Also of note is he keeps his "anime" in a trash can labeled "Lani's Anime."
Episode 3: DodgeBall Z
- Freeza and Cell are designated team captains and the first one who gets to pick a teammate is decided by a coin toss. Frieza dramatically whips the floor with his tail, stating that he chooses tail.
- Cell: So you're giving me head.
- This naturally makes Zarbon chuckle, prompting Freeza to shoot him a Death Glare.
- The process of Freeza and Cell picking their teammates:
- Freeza deliberates over his first choice for an extended time, thinking about choosing Dodoria before realizing that Cell would just pick Zarbon to counter, then looking at Guldo while musing that sometimes the least obvious choice is the most obvious.
- Freeza then kicks Guldo away in frustration, which Goz announces as him picking Guldo.Freeza: What?!
Goz: Next time, don't spend so much time on your first choice, ja?
- Freeza then kicks Guldo away in frustration, which Goz announces as him picking Guldo.
- Cell's next choice is Raditz, to the Saiyan's own surprise. Though Cell's reasoning isn't necessarily about friendship.
- After Freeza picks Recoome, Cell finds it odd that Jeice and Burter are missing, until it's revealed that they're doing commentary for the match:Burter: It's a call-back!
- And Cell notes that his team is still one man down from the other, right before a rumbling heralds Mez's arrival with Guru in tow via forklift.
- Freeza deliberates over his first choice for an extended time, thinking about choosing Dodoria before realizing that Cell would just pick Zarbon to counter, then looking at Guldo while musing that sometimes the least obvious choice is the most obvious.
- The fact that Cui didn't get into HFIL cause he wasn't evil enough. His worst crime was hating Vegeta.
- During the dodgeball match proper, there are a few funny parts in how the various members use the single ball in play:
- Raditz manages to get the ball, and Jeice says the following to his fellow commentator:
- Zarbon launches a throw with a pelvic thrust.
- Recoome and Guldo take the time to perform their iconic poses with the exploding floor as a backdrop behind them from the impact of a ball. Freeza shakes his head in apparent embarassment.
- Guru is asleep as the ball misses him every time while it zips back and forth.
- Recoome accepts the ball from Guldo and spins in an extended lariat that carves up the floor, the name of the special throw being more up Zarbon's alley:"RECOOME... BALL BUSTER!!!"
- When everyone is tired out, Cell says "Damn! If only someone on this team could handle all that beef!" Zarbon starts twitching in a tense position in response. It's practically a parody of Jekyll & Hyde, as Jeice and Burter explain:Jeice: Oh no! Zarbon stayed silent the entire match to avoid making any innuendos about balls!
Burter: But he won't be able to hold back much longer!
Zarbon: I... I...! (buffs to his monster form) I'M GOING BALLS DEEP!!! - The conclusion has Freeza throw the ball at Guru only for it to get stuck in his gut which is counted as it being caught, allowing Cell to put a teammate back in (choosing himself). At first, Cell is happy as he starts thanking Guru, only for the ball to bounce out of Guru and hit both Freeza and Cell, making Guru the winner.Cell: Oh, me, me! Yes, I choose me! Ohhohoho! Oh, I love you, you fat f**k!
(Cell smacks Guru in the arm, causing the ball to bounce off Guru and smack both Freeza and Cell)
Cell: Oh, goddamn you, you fat f**k!
Jeice: Both Freeza and Cell are eliminated!
Burter: And that means the winner is...
Goz: GURU!
Guru: (amused snort) Was there any doubt?- Apparently Guru is so heavy that everyone combined, minus Cell and Freeza, could not even lift the fat bastard, even causing Goz to throw out his "everything" in the effort.
- When Cell gives his reasoning for why he's not going to tell the others the truth about Freeza's death and who Trunks was, he leaves Freeza at wit's end.Cell: Because I'm not playing your game, Freeza. I'm playing mine. (begins to walk away)
Freeza: Oh, so what, now it's Cell's game!?
Cell: (laughs) Oh man, you have no idea why that's so funny.
Freeza: Fuck you!
Cell: No, Freeza. Fuck me.
Freeza: ...What!?
Guldo: Lord Freeza... I wanted to apologize. What you said earlier really hurt my feelings, but that was no excuse to—
Freeza: HAH! (kicks Guldo away and screams in rage)
Episode 4: O Captain! My Captain!
- The episode begins with Raditz and Super Kami Guru eating some breakfast, and the cereal is named "Dripping Sarcasm Snaps." The box even says "It's SOOOO good!"
- Guru tells Raditz he heard him sneak out last night, and Raditz calmly denies it.
- Upon noticing the cereal, Cell asks if they need to eat. Raditz responds that they don't, but it helps pass the time. Cell thinks for a moment before agreeing and asking where the bowls are.
- Raditz's utterly dry reaction to the frisbee breaking their window."Aw, dammit. Glass in my Snaps."
- And of course the one time Guru is quicker on the draw than most people is to specifically avoid doing any work.
- Raditz's utterly dry reaction to the frisbee breaking their window.
- Cell's intent (after being last to say "Not it.") was to return the Ginyus' frisbee at the door and be on his way. But Burter invites him to the backyard and doesn't take no for an answer.
- The fact that Captain Ginyu has gone from the leader of one of Freeza's favorite groups of minions, to the Team Pet of his subordinates. The Ginyu Force even treats him like a dog sometimes.
- The running gag of Ginyu attempting to eat Cell makes sense; it's a frog trying to eat a bug.
- Guldo is the only one who (correctly) guesses that the explanation for Ginyu's strange behavior is that he body-swapped with a frog, but no one else believes him. That said, they do have a decent counter-argument.Jeice: Oh, back on this again. So what, Guldo, is the frog evil?
Guldo: (shrugs while making an unsure noise) - Freeza's whiteboard diagram of Cell includes a doodle of Kermit the Frog.
- The whiteboard diagram in general, which is scribbled with all sorts of nonsensical thoughts.
- While Zarbon watches Ginyu hump Cell, we get this bit.Dodoria: Nah, he's bein' topped by Ginyu.
Freeza: Oh, who hasn't?!
(Zarbon and Dodoria raise their hands) - After being assaulted by Frog Ginyu for the first time, Cell climbs back to his feet and takes Jeice up on a Very Cherry Twist Shasta.
- The second time this happens, Frog Ginyu happens to be in the blue bin when he ambushes Cell, and we finally figure out where Cell of all people draws the line.
- According to Goz and Mez, getting the recyclables and trash mixed up will get you sent to "Super Hell".Cell: You're making that up.
Mez: (grinning widely) Are we? - Dodoria's idea on how to annoy Cell? His bussy.Freeza: (beat)...Zarbon, write that down!
- The third time that Ginyu assaults Cell, it occurs in Cell's home with Ginyu somehow sneaking in. During it, Raditz sneaks out of the house but leaves him at Ginyu's mercy while Cell calls for help. The kicker is how it looks from the outside of Cell's window which... is indicative of something else entirely.Cell: I do not like being on the receiving end of this!
- Cell tells the Ginyu force to get their dog/captain/mascot under control or... he'll be forced to report to Goz and Mez that they have been bad neighbors.Recoome: Recoome believes this to be a "dick move".
Guldo: Narc!
Burter: (shakes his head sadly) And after we fixed your window...
Cell: After YOU broke it!- Jeice holds a heartfelt speech about being a good neighbor in response to Cell's complaints, but this turns out to be a distraction so that Guldo can pants Cell:Guldo: (stares awkwardly at Cell's waistline) Uhm...
Cell: I don't wear pants.
Jeice: (taken aback) Bit of a freak, inni'?
Guldo: (overtly checks Cell out) ...Hmm. This is a nice ass!
Cell: (proudly) A perfect ass.
- Jeice holds a heartfelt speech about being a good neighbor in response to Cell's complaints, but this turns out to be a distraction so that Guldo can pants Cell:
- Apparently, Captain Ginyu didn't originally wear wrestling trunks as part of his uniform, but was forced to put them on when people kept being distracted by his "floppy bits".Recoome: Recoome kind of misses the floppy bits.
Jeice: Right?! - The episode ends with Freeza having something to say as Cell walks home.
- In The Stinger, it's revealed that Ginyu now has a collar with "Cap'n" on the plate.
- The Bokksu Valentines' box demo, when Lani and Kaiser get to the Monjayaki Senbei mini crackers:Lani: (raises cracker) Got my little communion wafer.
(makes the sign of the cross with it) In the name of Goku, Ichigo, and the Holy Luffy, (eats it) dattebayo.
(Kaiser cracks up)
Episode 5: Home for Infinite Pranksters
- As freaky as Cell is, he's still an Earthling.
- Raditz reasons that they need to get Guru upright for the Sharing Circle, if only for the good cred. But Cell thinks the better idea is just to sweep it under the rug.Cell: [calmly closes the garage door]
Guru: No! No! You can't do this to me! I will not be disrespected like this! I WILL NEVER LET YO— [immediately falls asleep the moment the shutter touches the ground] - The Ginyu Force are lamenting that they had to collar and leash Ginyu in the last episode at the sharing circle, Burter saying that it was the hardest thing they ever had to do:Jeice: Well, besides all the genocides.
Guldo: Actually, until Namek, the genocides were pretty easy.- After Goz and Mez put a brief stop to the conversation to welcome Cell and Raditz, they then show them their saved seats. Dodoria sensually pats the chair and beckons to Raditz when he's assigned to sit next to her, and both Cell and Freeza are unhappy with being next to each other.Freeza and Cell: Oh, goody.
- When Mez tries to ask how the others would feel if somebody genocided their species, it doesn't work since Freeza does that to his own soldiers' planets anyways.Recoome: That's actually how Recoome joined the force.
- After Goz and Mez put a brief stop to the conversation to welcome Cell and Raditz, they then show them their saved seats. Dodoria sensually pats the chair and beckons to Raditz when he's assigned to sit next to her, and both Cell and Freeza are unhappy with being next to each other.
- Freeza still trying to mock Cell about his "bussy". Cell still has no idea what he is talking about.
- After hearing about the Otherworld Tournament, Cell has an opinion about the combatants being in the afterlife.Cell: (snorts) They can't be that strong if they died. (Beat as he glances down at himself) Ah, shit...
- When they need to get the trash out for trash day;Raditz: Hey, Cell, its your turn to take out the bins.
Cell: No, it's not! It's Guru's turn.
Raditz: [letting that sentence linger in the air knowing exactly who Guru is] ...Uh huh.
Cell: [sighs] Why do we even have the chore wheel?- Another moment is the chore wheel itself; There's the usual things like de-weeding the lawn, doing the laundry, cleaning up around the house... and then there's a wedge reserved for sleeping — taking up twice as much space as the rest and ruining the symmetry of the wheel — with Guru's slice positioned squarely on it.
- The uselessness of the chore wheel turns out to be a Running Gag in all three households; Guldo is still the Butt-Monkey of the Ginyu Force so they make him do everything when they don't feel like it, and Freeza just cows Zarbon into doing his chores.
- Cell needs to go to the garage to pick up batteries, and Guru is still on the ground:"Well, well, look who's finally come crawling back to me—" (after Cell has collected the batteries and is leaving) "No, no! Don't LEAVE MEEEEEE!!!" (door slams)
- After putting the batteries in his remote, Cell attempts to turn on the TV... only to be launched into the air by an airbag bursting out of the couch. And to add insult to injury, the TV then falls on top of him.Cell: (muffled) ...Why?
- When all the pranks reached their boiling point, Cell angrily yells out Freeza in a very familiar manner. Not to mention just how tired of it Freeza is in The Stinger.Cell: FREEZA!
Freeza: Oh for crying out loud, I can't escape this shit even in death!- Not to mention that even Freeza is offended by the "whiteface" look Cell is inadvertently doused with.
- Lets say it again. Freeza calls Cell out for being "racially insensitive".
- After getting doused with another bucket of paint (pink this time), he lets out a scream only his first form normally would.
- Not to mention that even Freeza is offended by the "whiteface" look Cell is inadvertently doused with.
- Cell questions the presence of mousetraps when he's inadvertently leaped onto a whole mess of them:"Oh, god! Oh, god, WHY? There aren't any mice in Hell! Why do you have these?!"
- Raditz inadvertently mentions Guldo's power, which Cell was unaware of:Cell: (perks up, shaking the last mousetrap off) Elaborate.
Raditz: Never saw it myself, but I heard he was able to stop time while he was alive. How do you think he got on the Ginyu Force? It wasn't his power level.
(Cell wordlessly places his leg on the counter, gesturing at the ki dampening security anklet with a peeved look)
Raditz: (unsure noise) Maybe it's a psychic power?
Guru: (over the walkie-talkie) Or magic.
Cell: What do you know about magic?
Guru: More than you know about getting me off the GOD-DANG FLOOR— (Cell switches the walkie-talkie off)- Raditz doesn't want to get involved, knowing that it will only keep them in HFIL longer, but was genuinely touched that Cell called him his friend, especially if he helps.Raditz: Aw... (Beat, as heartwarming music plays) Pass.
Cell: (hurt and disappointed) F**kin...
Raditz: (leaving) Friends don't need to be accomplices to be friends! - When Raditz refuses to help Cell get back at the Ginyu Force, he un-mutes Guru to appeal to him, which works since the Ginyu Force did tip him over.
- Raditz doesn't want to get involved, knowing that it will only keep them in HFIL longer, but was genuinely touched that Cell called him his friend, especially if he helps.
- Burter tries to put a lid on the pranking before it goes out of control... and of course the moment he says it...Guldo: YOU GUYS!!!
Burter: (Hangs his head) F**k... - Cell's message to the Ginyu Force. "I have your mascot."...also there's a picture of a butt. Careful, everyone. His Vegeta is showing.
- The Stinger reveals that Dodoria was also sneaking out at night, as Zarbon points out in an effort to make small-talk while Freeza's outside.
Episode 6: Frognapped
- The episode thumbnail. The very face Cell is making in it is both humorous and familiar.
- Cell tries to defuse the tension a bit by prompting the Ginyus to provide their pronouns, presumably since he never thought to ask when he got there between the escape attempts and existential dread of being in a domestic hellscape.
- Mez feels the need to ban the word "bussy".
- When the Ginyu Force demand Cell to tell them where the captain is, Cell responds by saying he has Ginyu hidden where they won't find him. The team then prompts Guldo to look.Burter: Guldo?
Guldo: What? I don't have him. (beat) Oh right. Right. - Cell demands the Ginyus to apologize only for Jeice and Recoome to tell him the force doesn't negotiate. Guldo responds with how this tactic explains their salary.
- When spinning about to dislodge Guldo, Cell inadvertently throws Guldo straight into Recoome's groin.
- Even in HFIL, Jeice can't avoid getting punched in the face. This time he gets punched by Burter by accident in their fight with Cell.Burter: Oh god! Jeice, I'm so sorry!
- Cell's Badass Boast about having 150 years of accumulated experience of the greatest fighters in the galaxy would simply be a moment of awesome without being funny if not for the fact that he tacked on "and also Vegeta" at the end of it.
- Jeice threatens to blow up Cell's house. In response, Cell tells them that he will get mad as he inflates into his self-destruct form under the threat that he will blow the whole site up if they blow up his house.Burter: Oop. I get it. Mad. M.A.D. Mutually Assured Destruction.
Guldo: You guys, I really don't want to sleep in a tent again.- Also becomes funny when both sides reveal to be bluffing at the end. Cell even casually reverts to normal like nothing.
- Both parties get caught by the ogres breaking the rules of being out after curfew (as opposed to the fight or threatening to blow up Hell). The reason they found them easily because they were fighting in front of the ogre's house.Cell: So that's where they live.
- This episode ultimately confirms that the Ginyu here is in fact the frog Ginyu swapped bodies with, and the frog was sent to HFIL because they didn't realize he wasn't Ginyu. When they realized this fact, nobody wanted to take responsibility of correcting the mistake.
- When Goz and Mez drop the bomb on the Ginyus that Ginyu is a frog, Jeice rebuffs the statement, stating him to be a trauma victim. When they tell him that, no, it's literally a frog's soul in Ginyu's body, the Ginyus are left speechless... except for Guldo.Guldo: CALLED IT!!!
- The jock strap incident is included among Ginyu's list of sins. King Yemma even retches reading about it.
- Where was Cell hiding Frog Ginyu? Inside of Guru.
- The entire reveal of where Cell hid Ginyu. He didn't want to ruin the heartwarming moment the Ginyus were having...and then the reveal proceeds to basically ruin the moment in-and-out of universe by spending a minute or two on the disturbing imagery of Guru regurgitating Ginyu's body. It's fucked up, but certainly hilarious.Cell: Guru. Let him out.
Guru: (blatantly disapponted) You are a coward. - To get Ginyu to even fit in Guru's mouth comfortably, they had to strip him down to his underwear and file down his horns. The experiences manages to visibly traumatize a frog. By the time Ginyu is completely out even Cell (who used to drink people, mind you) looks freaking disturbed. Either that or it reminds of the time he had to, erm, let go of Android 18.
- The entire reveal of where Cell hid Ginyu. He didn't want to ruin the heartwarming moment the Ginyus were having...and then the reveal proceeds to basically ruin the moment in-and-out of universe by spending a minute or two on the disturbing imagery of Guru regurgitating Ginyu's body. It's fucked up, but certainly hilarious.
- Goz and Mez conclude that they're proud of Cell and the Ginyu Force for making good with eachother on their own, but inform them that because they're violating curfew all the same and woke up the two ogres with their fighting, if they don't get back home, the two will literally bury them all six feet underground.
- Both parties apologize in the end with Burter mentioning every prank they pulled on Cell. However, Cell points out they didn't mention the trash bin. Turns out the Ginyus were innocent of that one. It doesn't take much for Cell to figure out who the actual culprit was for that one though.Cell: Ohhhh, that little bitch.
- Raditz telling Cell that he sneaked off to bang Dodoria. He says it so casually Cell doesn't believe him.
- Freeza’s little remark about the noise Zarbon and Dodoria are making with their surprise visitor while Freeza’s trying to sleep:Freeza: Will you keep it down, you noisy mother- Father?!
- And the response:King Cold: Good morning, Princess.
- And the response:
- Also, the force celebrates over the fact that Ginyu is still alive... Except he isn't, because Vegeta stomped on him in this continuity. The Stinger shows the real Ginyu trying to talk to King Yemma, but being in a frog's body means he can't actually talk. He is put through the soul scrubber, which all but confirms that he's not going to be in HFIL with his frog body too weak to clog it.
Episode 7: Daddy's Home
- The mug King Cold is drinking from at the start has "World's Best DILF" written on the side, insisting he be called "Daddy"... which, in short, everyone does.King Cold: (to Freeza) ...You need to be better, Princess.
Cell: (snickers)
King Cold: (to Cell, sternly) You shush.
Cell: (sheepishly) Yes, Daddy.- Cell wasn't even there when King Cold asked to be called "Daddy!"
- Double funny when you consider that Cell has Freeza's genes.
- King Cold begins to make himself at home in the ogres' house:King Cold: I hope you boys are okay with casual nudity.
Goz: (excitedly) Jah!
Mez: (horrified) Nein!
(Goz and Mez exchange a look)
Goz: Oh, you can't say you're not curious! - King Cold is also the official Honorable Atonement Director and Enrichment Specialist. note Cell: And that acronym is more tortured than we are.
- While Raditz shows Cell the String Theory of the Social Ladder in HFIL, Cell is a little distracted by something else.Cell: Wait, is this your room?!
Raditz: Yeah, why?
Cell: Why is it nicer than mine?
Raditz: Because I've been here longer.
Cell: Can we trade?
Raditz: Can we focus?
Cell: (Disappointed grunt)- Despite it having a huge hole in it, Raditz keeps his armor in a trophy case.
- The board itself has some hilarious things that would have been difficult to see without pausing.
- Cell is labeled "Related?". Not far off.
- Nappa is labeled "???", meaning that when Nappa was wished back, he virtually up and vanished in their eyes.
- Zarbon's picture has a pink background and sparkles, followed by a pretty...interesting face, courtesy of Zarbon himself.
- Dodoria is blowing a kiss towards the camera and is labeled "Dore <3"note .
- King Yemma is labeled "Mahogany?".
- Frieza is labeled "Asshole". Killing his entire race aside, this is a given.
- Mez's picture is him performing the Scary Shiny Glasses pose.
- The Ginyu Force, Goz, Mez, and King Yemma are all linked to the Shasta cans labeled "Diet?"
- The ogres taskes the MCM's to build a "human ladder" to climb over a wall.Jeice: The f[bleep]k's a "human"?
- Raditz tries to approach the task logically, saying that the biggest, being Guru, should be on the bottom and asks whether they should get the forklift to move him, when:Freeza: PILE ON THE MONKEY!
Raditz: Wait. Wait WAIT WAIT! (everyone dogpiles Raditz)- Somehow, Guru ended up being part of the pile despite not being able to move himself.
- Raditz tries to approach the task logically, saying that the biggest, being Guru, should be on the bottom and asks whether they should get the forklift to move him, when:
- Whatever Recoome made in the art session. It isn't directly shown to the viewer, but it shocked Jeice, Mez, King Cold, Freeza, and Cell, impressed Dodoria and Zarbon, Burter simply commenting that it's why he couldn't find rigatoni in a pleasant tone, and Guldo shrieks in high-pitched horror that it involves his wife. The only one with no reaction to it at all is Raditz.
- Judging by Mez's face before Recoome shows it he knows it's going to be something... shocking to say the least.
- Meanwhile, Cell's artistry, meant to show his greatest regret, depicts him choking the life out of Tien, as his greatest regret is that he never got around to doing it while he was alive. His art being far more advanced than what we see from the others also counts, with various colored noodles being arranged mosaic-style.Mez: I see. And, uh, what does his third eye represent?
Cell: I dunno, his stupid f(beep)ing third eye!
Mez: (understandingly) Ah. - Freeza? His is similar, but much more crude and he's choking out Goku instead. King Cold fawns over it like any doting father of a small child would, but accidentally says too much in the process.King Cold: Oh, you're just a little Penne Picasso, Princess~!
Freeza: Daddy, I'm trying to focus on my opus!
King Cold: You know, he's not even the Saiyan that killed yo—
Freeza: (cuts him off) DADDY! - Guru, however, initially eats his macaroni... only to spit it out onto the canvas in the vague shape of Nail.Guru: Nailed it.
- When practicing trust-falls, Cell notices, much to his chagrin, that Freeza has been selected to be his exercise partner.Cell: (to the Ogres) You did this on purpose.
Goz: (sing-song) It wasn't an accident~! ♪- Cell resigns himself to go through with the exercise.Cell: (sighs) ... At least I know the fall can't kill me.
Goz: Now! Fetch ze spike strip!
Cell: ARE YOU F[beep]ING KIDDING ME?!
Goz: (laughs) Of course we are!
(Mez walks into frame carrying a spike strip)
Goz: (looks towards Mez and quickly makes a throat cutting gesture) Of course we are.
(Mez quickly takes the spike strip away) - Cell is so preoccupied with King Cold and Freeza's arguement, that he fails to notice that he has been selected as Recoome's exercise partner.Goz: Uuuund go!
Cell: (confused) Go where?
Recoome: RECOOME TRUST!
(Recoome lands square on Cell)
Cell: (strained) Why did you belly-flop? ... Oh god, I can feel your rigatoni!
Recoome: (sincerely) Recoome trusts you.
Cell: GET THE F[bleep]K OFF ME!
- Cell resigns himself to go through with the exercise.
- Post credits, King Cold says the two of them are, in a sense, the same:King Cold: Men like you and I... We can smell our own blood. (walks away)
Cell: (looks puzzled, then sniffs himself) Shit! That is patchouli.
Episode 8: Little Lord Freeza
- King Cold makes good on his promise of casual nudity. Freeza is disgusted.
- As it turns out, however, Freeza's race have no genitals to be disgusted by, causing Freeza to once again ask how they are able to reproduce.
- Goz and Mez have established a practice of allowing the MCMs to borrow movies for their entertainment, but it turns out that all they have in stock are bad sequels. This becomes a Brick Joke for the rest of the episode:
- Cell explains this rule to Freeza while returning a copy of Caddyshack II.
- Dodoria tries to raise Freeza's spirits:Dodoria: Hey Freeza! I borrowed us a copy of Terminator Genisys! You wanna hate-watch it with me?
- The conversation between Cell and King Cold (the one which triggered Freeza's paranoia) turns out to be related to this.Perfect Cell: And the weird thing: they don't even have Die Hard 2, but they have With a Vengeance. Which I just think is objectively wrong.
King Cold: I mean, is it? You know, it didn't even start out as a Die Hard script.
Perfect Cell: Which I think it's to its benefit. And would you really call it worse than 2?
King Cold: Well, it's certainly not as good as 1.
Perfect Cell: Well, obviously... [pause] So is this really all you wanted to talk about?
King Cold: Yes!
- This line:Mez: (from offscreen) Cold! Your coffee is getting you~!
- The Ginyus tell Guldo to summon a steamroller. He summons Guru via "ZA WARUDO!". They proceed to use him to flatten the land out anyway, by rolling him around on his side.Guru: (landing with a crash after being warped in) GAH! ASSHOOOOOOOOOLES!
- When Freeza arrives at the construction site, Cold mildly chastises him for not wearing a hardhat - possessing one custom-made for his horns to go through - despite souls being indestructible and the Ginyus not wearing hardhats either. When Freeza points out the latter, Cold says that they're professionals.
- Freeza tries to have the talk he wanted with his father, but Cold says that he's simply buried under paperwork. There's a brief cut to Freeza asking what paperwork, and Cold suddenly has a full desk with blueprints, a laptop and stacks of paperwork as he hums merrily while typing. Freeza is stumped on how that is for a moment before a panting Guldo draws his attention, delivering a new cup of coffee for Cold.Guldo: (audibly exhausted) There- you go... Sire.
- The fact that King Cold asks Freeza to tell Zarbon to bring him wood, only to realize what he's asking and telling Freeza to use the word "lumber" instead.
- Then later, Zarbon randomly shows up in the middle of the night, not wearing pants or underwear:Freeza: (covering his eyes) Oh, my god! I-I said, "lumber"!
(cut to Zarbon actually holding a piece of lumber in his hands)
Zarbon: (genuinely confused) Hmm? (realizes that Freeza is referring to the fact that he's walking around bottomless with a prominent erection) Oh! That's unrelated.
- Then later, Zarbon randomly shows up in the middle of the night, not wearing pants or underwear:
- As Freeza is leaving the construction site, Raditz walks by for what is, surprisingly, Nick Landis' only contribution to the episode. Raditz tries to make polite small talk about how he's bringing King Cold more coffee... and Freeza promptly tail-slaps the steaming hot cup into Raditz's face for no reason, walking away without a care while the Saiyan screams in agony.
- The implication during Freeza's talk with Dodoria that either his first name is literally "Lord" or he treats it as his first name in "personal" conversation with his henchmen.
- During his "It's All About Me" rant, Freeza calls himself "Beeza" and makes a buzzing sound while flapping his hands around. Little Kuriboh's delivery remains dead-serious the entire time... somehow.
- He also poutily orders Dodoria to "make it better" once he's done ranting, which makes Dodoria seem less like a loyal servant and more like Freeza's big sister, or even mom.
- Freeza notices Cold attempting to sneak around the neighborhood in the dead of night. At one point, Cold pulls up his cloak in front of his face as if he was a pantomime villain.
Episode 9: Insecurity System
- Cell catches Freeza trying to break in his garage/Guru's bedroom.Freeza: What the here are you doing hell... I mean, you know what I mean!
Cell: Pretty sure that's my line you just flubbed.- Cell thinks Freeza wants to get inside so he can sleep with Guru. Freeza is disgusted and slaps Cell for it. Cell immediately bitchslaps him back and the two share a very awkward, if tense, moment of silence.Cell: Wait, is this why you want in? A midnight rendezvous? It's the folds isn't it?
Freeza: Ugh!
(Freeza slaps Cell who slaps Freeza back hard enough for Freeza to move to the side like a bobblehead)
- Cell thinks Freeza wants to get inside so he can sleep with Guru. Freeza is disgusted and slaps Cell for it. Cell immediately bitchslaps him back and the two share a very awkward, if tense, moment of silence.
- Guru spends the whole episode snoring loudly in the background, much to the irritation of Freeza.Cell (exasperated sigh) The only things in here are tools, gardening supplies and, as I said, Super...
Guru: snoring
Cell: Kami...
Guru: snoring loudly
Cell: Guru.
Guru: snoring even louder - When Cell explains that Guru sleeps half the day and won't wake up, he sees Freeza is not around. He thinks people can disappear and the garage is haunted only for Freeza to pop up in Guru's mouth.Freeza: (emerging from Guru's mouth) Eugh!
Cell: (startled) WHATTHEHECK!?
Freeza: None of the bodies in here are my father's!
Cell: Of course not! Look, I don't know if that egg shaped head of yours is finally cracked but it's definitely scrambled. - Cell reiterates there's nothing in the garage except the soil, the tools and the breaker. Said breaker opens up to reveal a security pad. Freeza says he is hiding something only for Cell to reiterate 1) No and 2) still think Freeza is gaslighting him.
- Freeza tries to think of the password.
- Freeza first guess is his birthday, which is 0001. This fails and shutters the whole place into darkness.(Awkward moment of silence. You can see Cell squinting his eyes in anger/frustration/judgment)
Freeza: I feel your judgment. You still there?
Cell: Mmhmm.
Freeza: Shut up! - Freeza then tries 0002, 0003 and about to punch 0004 before Cell tells him that there's letters. Cell and Freeza tries 4345 (HFIL), 3792 (FRZA) and 4878 (GURU). The last one's delay was giving Cell hope before it fails as well.Cell: F*CK!
Freeza: Ha!
- Freeza first guess is his birthday, which is 0001. This fails and shutters the whole place into darkness.
- Frieza pulls a Vegeta before Vegeta got to say it.Freeza: You're saying I'm trapped in this sweat locker with you and the giant green gastropod? I would rather die!
Cell: (stares)
Freeza: Shut up! - Giving up, the both of them decide to sit in silence. Guru's snoring breaks Freeza less than a minute in.Freeza: Oh my god, please say something!
Cell: (deadpan) Yeah, not much silence to suffer in, is there.
Freeza: Shut up! - When Freeza tells Cell what he plans to do when he goes back to life and blow up everything with his immortality, Cell mentions that he's gonna have a uphill battle from there, what with people stronger than Freeza like Vegeta, who Cell mentions he's a Super Saiyan. Freeza is dismissive about it until Cell points out it's for real.Freeza: (dismissively) Yes I know. He never shuts up about it.
Cell: No, for like, realsies this time.
Freeza: Oh. Well I'll find a way to deal with a *measly* Super Saiyan.
Cell: Cool. But what about the level beyond that?
Freeza: What, like a Super Duper Saiyan?
Cell: Y—yes?
Freeza: That's stupid. - While asleep, Cell shifted from leaning against Guru's chair to an upright fetal position, his muttering barely audible:Cell: No, I d’wanna wake up. I wanna be in the tube forever...
- King Cold is the one to find Cell and Freeza by unlocking the garage door from the outside, saying that they already missed the morning events. When Freeza said that he was looking for his dad since he saw him sneaking around at night, King Cold casually says that he was on patrol due to residents of HFIL sneaking out after curfew. Freeza insists that he didn't see him leave the garage, and Cold says that he walked around the back of the house and left from the other side.
- When Cell ask Goz and Mez what do they mean by the credits, the both of them talk about how a lot of people miss the post-credit scenes, all while looking at the camera.
- King Cold announces that he's opening up the First (and hopefully not last) Hell Games!Cell: Can I sue somebody in hell?
Raditz: There are enough lawyers. - Since there are not enough people to show teamwork among the denizens in this HFIL, Cold decides to make it Inter-HFILs instead, to Freeza's dread, as he knows who is coming. Cold then announces the ambassadors of one of the neighboring HFILS.Cooler: (smirking) Hello. Brother.
Beat
Bojack: (completely stealing Cooler's thunder and genuinely startling him) Y'AAARGGH, maties!
Episode 10: Tonight We Dine In HFIL
- When Cooler is asked by Freeza regarding why he's here, he initially starts recounting his time before death, specifically stating "I thought the Big Gete Star enabled me to cheat death," before Freeza cuts him off.
- In order for the two HFILs to get along, King Cold invites everyone over for dinner (at Goz and Mez's place, much to their chagrin over the lack of warning). Freeza points out that it's still 10 AM in Hell (since it's still the morning of the previous episode).
- Zarbon is having a field day with the innuendos throughout the episode. He even gets on the nerves of Goz and Mez who scold him for backsliding. When he doesn't cut it out, they point him away, and he leaves in a pout.
- Bojack is one of the silliest characters in HFIL, where he maintains his Talk Like a Pirate speech patterns from the main series, and tries to smooth over relationships with the other HFIL residents by talking about his (space) pirate expeditions and the time he tried to conquer Earth in his movie.
- Bojack explains that he actually met Cell after he self-destructed and destroyed King Kai's planet, where he was set free. He recalls seeing Cell regenerate himself after exploding, with Cell being absolutely terrified about how he almost died. When Bojack tries to address him, Cell tells him to shut up, before realizing he suddenly now knows how to teleport, which he does. He even teleports in the same *POP* sound effect and manner as Goku did as well.
- Then there's Cell's freaking the HFIL out after he regenerates from his Semi-Perfect kamikaze attack...Cell: OH— OH!! OH F**K! OH F**K...! OH THAT WAS SO SCARY!!! Oh God, I thought I was dead...! Oh, I thought I was dead... am I dead...? Oh, shit...! Oh f**k...
- Then there's Cell's freaking the HFIL out after he regenerates from his Semi-Perfect kamikaze attack...
- Bojack, now unbound from the planet, did try and go to Earth to try and conquer it... but only gets a few words in edge-wise before he can explain what happened before he was sent to HFIL, with Guldo or someone else cutting him off.
- When Guldo delivers the appetizers to the table, they all pop onto the table instantly thanks to his time powers. Guldo also used this moment to slap a post-it note that reads "Asshole" on Cell's back.
- The Ginyu Force has taken up the task of making dinner for everyone, with Jeice essentially embodying every Angry Chef trope in the book. He becomes an Australian Gordon Ramsay, using all of his familiar Character Catchphrases when things go awry in the kitchen. When Burter says he'll chop the mushrooms in four minutes (when Jeice asked for five), Jeice yells at them to be ready in five instead. When Recoome burns all the steaks, he berates him, calling him a "f*cking mule." When Guldo arrives to tell the chef that the appetizers have been served, Jeice immediately looks like he'll yell at him too... before complimenting the psychic and telling Guldo he's doing a great job. Guldo has a dorky, endearing smile after Jeice praises him.
- Later, when Bojack notes the air is stifling, Goz and Mez notice that it actually smells more like smoke. It turns out that a fire has spread throughout their home, causing everyone to scream.Jeice: (kicks kitchen's door) FIIIIIIIIIREEEEEEEEEE!!!
Bojack: ABANDON SHIIIIIIP!!!- While Jeice and Burter are busy explaining what happened and apologizing, Recoome just looks at the house and muses "Recoome has burned the house."
- After the Ginyus promise to rebuild Goz and Mez's home, the duo lament how they lost all their Otherworldly possessions, with the only thing that survived being the copy of Caddyshack II from Episode 8.
- Later, when Bojack notes the air is stifling, Goz and Mez notice that it actually smells more like smoke. It turns out that a fire has spread throughout their home, causing everyone to scream.
- The talk of the various holidays.
- King Cold states his favorite is Spacegiving. Cell figures out what that is right away, and King Cold confirms before he can ask that it is indeed Thanksgiving in space.
- Bojack says his favorite holiday is "Talk Like a Pirate Day", because it's the one day he can correct everyone else.
- Freeza, of course, claims that his favorite is Freeza Day—which Cooler groans about.
- Cooler then says that his favorite holiday is Boxing Day, so he doesn't have to hear about Freeza for another Yemma-forsaken year.
- During the dinner, after hearing another of Space "X" thing (Thanksgiving), Cell facedesks in defeat and asks for another drink, probably not even registering he's making an innuendo:Cell: Top me, Zarbon...
(Zarbon giggles very delightfully) - Cooler somewhat reluctantly tries to get some small-talk going, asking Freeza how the rehabilitation program is going for him. Freeza immediately boasts that he has been making great progress. This causes Goz and Mez to break down in uncontrollable laughter.Mez: (through tears of laughter) Oh, Freeza! Zat's hilarious!
Goz: (barely manging to gather himself) ... Und deeply sad.- Goz and Mez end up admonishing Freeza for lying, saying that doing so isn't good for his progress. Meanwhile, Cold admonishes Cooler for not having made much progress in his own rehabilitation .Cooler: (with no shortage of sarcasm) Oh, sorry, father. Not all of us can drop in and immediately sweep management off their feet.
Cold: (with no shortage of passive-aggressiveness) It's fine. I know what to expect.
Cooler: Oh, how I've missed this...
Mez: (genially) Again. Lying...
Cooler: Sarcasm isn't lying! It's truth some people are too dull (sends Goz and Mez some stink-eye) to understand.
Goz: ... I'm beginning to feel unwelcome in our own home.
- Goz and Mez end up admonishing Freeza for lying, saying that doing so isn't good for his progress. Meanwhile, Cold admonishes Cooler for not having made much progress in his own rehabilitation .
- When Cell reaches his breaking point with Bojack, he excuses himself by saying that he needs to pee. Freeza also excuses himself by saying he also has to pee, but Mez points out there's only one toilet in the house, to which Goz notes it's big enough for two people. Bojack leans in, hinting at how the two know from experience.
- Freeza and Cell both run into each other in the hallway, both wanting to get away from their dinner, and wanting to complain about their dinnermates. Freeza realizes however that they are both talking about two different people when Cell brings up Bojack's constant Talk Like a Pirate gimmick.
- When Freeza clarifies that he's talking about Cooler, Cell is briefly confused, wondering who he is again, guessing on Freeza's ex. Freeza then yells that Cooler is his brother, to which Cell says "I don't judge."
- When Cell asks how Cooler died, King Cold tells him that Cooler was killed by the same person who humiliated Freeza. Cell, of course, has a reasonable response of asking which one. King Cold's first response is to say the one who can turn their hair gold and then says the one Cell killed which Cell again asks which one. These two details upset Freeza even further as his reaction to hearing this definitely has him realizing that Cell killed both Saiyans who beat him.Cell: How did [Cooler] bite it?
Freeza: In a pathetic attempt to imitate me!
King Cold: Yes, actually. He was felled by the same brute who humiliated my princess!
Freeza: Father!
Cell: (matter-of-factly) Which one?
Freeza: F**k you!
King Cold: Oh, I'm bad with names... Erm... The one who can turn his hair gold.
Cell: Not really narrowing it down.
King Cold: Right, right... The one you killed!
Freeza: What...?!
Cell: Again. Which one?
Freeza: WHAT?
King Cold: (after pondering for a while) ... Goku! That was his name! (chuckles) Glad we got that settled.
(Freeza stares blankly in utter shock) - Cooler returns with Cold's bag after Goz and Mez's house has been burned down.Cooler: What happened here?
Cell: House burned down.
Cooler: I was gone for five minutes! Well... good luck blaming this one on me.
Cold: Perhaps if you had gotten back sooner, this wouldn't have happened.
(Cooler rolls his eyes in defeat) - King Cold invites Cell to take a tour of Cooler's HFIL. Bojack immediately offers to let Cell stay in his place.Cell: Don't tell me. You live in a pirate ship.
Bojack: WHO SPOILED THE SURPRISE?! - After Raditz volunteers to go to the other HFIL in Freeza's place, we get this gem from King Cold."[cheerfully] Pack your bags, gentlemen. You're both going to hell! [awkwardly]...the other one."
- In The Stinger, Raditz notices Cooler going into Guru's garage, but when he looks inside, Cooler isn't there. Guru isn't there either. Turns out, they left him back at the coliseum. Guru states he'll get back home on his on, and he sends himself rolling down the stairs screaming Nail's name.
Specials
A Freeza Day in Hell | HFIL Christmas Special
- When Cell ask Guru what is happening in HFIL right now:Guru: I CAN'T GET OUT! MY ASS IS FROZEN TO THE FLOOOORRRR!!!
- Cell's repeated 'no's when he asks Guldo "the f*ck is today" as he figured out that he has to listen to everyone sing about Freeza Day.
- As it turns out, all the snow in HFIL that day was just the yearly dumping of residue from the Soul Scrubber.Guldo: (eats the residue which screams in a high pitch) Hehe. It tingles.
Goz: The run-off from the damned souls does make the place chilly though.
Ginyu Snowman: End... me... - No one celebrates Christmas down there as the subject of Jesus is very touchy, what with them being demons and all.
- The "Frieza Day" sign.Freeza: No no no. How many times must I tell you? There's no I in Freeza.
Recoome: Recoome apologizes, Lord Freza.
Freeza: That's not what I... (exasperated groan) - Freeza tries to show gratitude for his presents. The keyword being tries.Freeza: Well, everyone... You have all truly done the bare minimum this year. You all undoubtly know how to be barely tolerated.
- While heartwarming that Cell gave Freeza the best present he ever got a set of dragon balls, it veers back to hilarity when Cell informs Freeza that they're essentially Guru's kidney stones and they can't grant wishes as he's not the Grand Elder anymore.
