Line #8 Recap/DragonBallZAbridgedM5


1	->"'''[[GoMadFromTheRevelation OF ALL THE STUPID]]... [[PunctuatedPounding ASININE]]... [[JumpingTheShark SHARK-JUMPING]] [[AtomicFBomb BULLSHIT]]!'''"
2	-->--'''Bardock''', upon learning he was transported to the past.
3
4	Against all sense, the destruction of Planet Vegeta throws Bardock into a strange alien world, harassed by a very familiar (Okay, not ''that'' familiar) alien tyrant.
5	----
6	!!Of all the STUPID.... ASININE... TROPE JUMPING BULLSHIT!
7	* AdaptationalJerkass: Unlike [[Anime/DragonBallEpisodeOfBardock the original]], Bardock absolutely does ''not'' become a genuine hero to the primitive Saiyans here. He ends up doing most of the same things, but his attitude makes it clear that none of it was out of the goodness of his heart.
8	** The original had him turn Super Saiyan out of rage remembering his allies killed by Freeza. This version has him become a Super Saiyan out of rage for the "shark jumping bullshit''' of the plot.
9	* AllJustADream: The whole special turns out to be a nonsensical story Goku is telling Gohan. And ''that'' turns out to be a dream of Gohan's... while Piccolo is watching him sleep.
10	* BigShutUp: Both Bardock and Chilled say the following to the primitive Saiyans when they start singing:
11	-->"NO! None of that! Shame on you!"
12	* BizarreAlienReproduction: Bardock kicking one of the primitive Saiyans gets it pregnant.
13	* CompositeCharacter:
14	** The Plant people are just an indigenous race from Planet Plant, and material further revealed in the 2010's would make it clear they are not Saiyans nor related to them. Here, they are primitive Saiyans.
15	** Bardock is now the Legendary Super Saiyan instead of Yamoshi. Again, this is consequence of the parody being created before further material in the 2010's reveal who Yamoshi is.
16	* DoWrongRight: Bardock criticizes a couple of Chilled's men because their village terrorizing techniques are extremely amateur and lack backbone. During the credits scene, he ends up giving them some pointers.
17	* EveryoneHasStandards: Bardock only steps in to save Dray from Chilled's men because the situation was rapidly devolving into a gang-rape innuendo.
18	* ExplainExplainOhCrap: Bardock struggles to see the connection between Chilled and Freeza but is constantly interrupted. It took this exchange with Chilled to come to the shocking conclusion.
19	-->'''Bardock:''' Hey! You! What year is it?\
20	'''Chilled''': 2222\
21	'''Bardock''': BC or AD?\
22	'''Chilled''': The hell are those?\
23	'''Bardock''': I'm in the f*cking past.
24	* FunWithAcronyms: The Primitive Saiyans have a healing salve called S.P.U.G. (pronounced [[AccidentalInnuendo Spooge]]), short for Super Polymorphic Unleashing Gel.
25	* JumpingTheShark: {{Lampshade\|Hanging}}d InUniverse. When Bardock realizes that he's in the past, the sheer shark-jumping nature of it all causes him to go Super Saiyan.
26	* MythologyGag: The alternate scene during the credits is a ShoutOut to the Ocean Dub's portrayal of Bardock.
27	--> '''Kayabira''': You should write a book. You're like a ''brilliant scientist''!\
28	'''Bardock''': Well, I am working on this ''fake moon'' thing.
29	* NominalHero: Bardock doesn't really care about the past Saiyans, and actually hates them. He only helps them fight Chilled because he ends up getting pissed off about the TimeTravel, with Chilled being nearby as a convenient punching bag.
30	* OhCrap:
31	** Bardock remembering he has not one, but two sons (Kakarot/Goku and Raditz)
32	** Bardock saying "Oh Crapbaskets" as Freeza throws the Death Ball at him.
33	** One of the primitive Saiyans' faces as Chilled orders his minions to attack the others.
34	* OhMyGods:
35	-->'''Bardock:''' Ah, Space Christ, what now?
36	* TheOtherMarty: Lanipator and [=KaiserNeko=] bounce between voicing ''all'' the primitive Saiyans, sometimes even the same character in the same scene, which plays to [[TakeThat their lack of overall reverence]] towards the original special by not caring too much about consistency of voices to take pot shots at the sheer absurdity of its existence.
37	* RunningGag: Every time Bardock tries to make sense of where he is, something else comes along and interrupts, causing him to forget. The fourth and final time, he manages to figure it all out.
38	* ShoutOut:
39	** The primitive Saiyans all sound like [[Series/TheMuppetShow Kermit the Frog]].
40	*** While Chilled sounds like Miss Piggy.
41	** The song they sing for the "Violent Savior" (Bardock) is from ''WesternAnimation/HowTheGrinchStoleChristmas'' called ''Welcome Christmas/Dahoo Dores''.
42	** A subtle one, when Chilled is dying:
43	-->'''Chilled:''' Before I die, I have one more decree. [[CallForward All of our most elite warriors must learn dance choreography...]] [[WebVideo/NonePiece got to style... all over our opponents'... balls]].
44	* PoliticallyCorrectVillain: As evil as Chilled is, he acknowledges "those of unspecified gender".
45	* TakeThat: This episode pulls no punches when making fun of the original special for being a blatant act of Bardock pandering.
46	* ThemeNaming:
47	** All the primitive Saiyans are [[NamedAfterSomebodyFamous named after famous rappers]].
48	** Chilled starts the Freeza Force EdibleThemeNaming by decreeing that all of his underlings will be named after fruit from now on.
49	* UnreliableNarrator: Revealing that the special is a story told by Goku to Gohan. However, Gohan calls out the plot holes, which Goku admit he has no idea. Then again, that in itself was AllJustADream.
