10	!!I AM THE TROPES!!!
11	* AGodAmI: Vegeta wants to know how Piccolo became so strong.
12	-->'''Trunks''': [Piccolo] fused with Kami so he can become stronger.\
13	'''Vegeta''': The f*ck's a "Kami"?!\
14	'''Krillin''' Basically "God".\
15	'''Vegeta''': But I'm still here!\
16	'''Trunks''': Do you really believe your own hype ''that'' much?\
17	'''Vegeta''': '''I ''AM'' THE HYPE!'''
18	* CallBack: Upon hearing about yet another Android, Vegeta exclaims "DO I HEAR FIVE!?"
19	* ContinuityNod: Piccolo apologizes to Tien for his father killing Chaotzu in the original ''Manga/{{DragonBall}}''.
20	* DoNotAdjustYourSet: After killing TJ and the Wombat, TheStinger has Cell takes over their radio show, [[TheFourthWallWillNotProtectYou absorbing his victims live on-air]] and [[MockingMusic playing tracks that fit his character]]. Note that [[Music/OingoBoingo Dead Man's Party]] is playing in the back.
21	-->'''Cell:''' Hey! Welcome back to 98.5 the Cell! We have another caller making a request.\
22	'''Victim:''' PLEASE don't kill me!\
23	'''Cell:''' Sorry, that's not in the lineup. (''absorbs the caller'') Speaking of the line-up, in the next half-hour we've got "Hungry Like the Wolf" by Music/DuranDuran, "Killing Me Softly With His Song" by Music/LaurynHill, followed by [[Music/EricCarmen "All By]] [[Music/CelineDion Myself"]]. Now don't touch that dial...
24	* FreezeFrameBonus: If you pause on the scene where Trunks is looking over the schematics for 17 and 18, you can see a note Gero made about their real names...
25	--> '''Dr. Gero:''' Who the devil names their children after crystals? It's like they '''wanted''' them to grow up to be strippers.
26	* FreudianSlip: When Trunks finds the schematics for the Androids:
27	-->'''Trunks:''' These... these are the schematics for the Androids! We could use these to find a way to turn them off!\
28	'''Krillin:''' (''thinking'') Don't ask how to turn them on... don't ask how to turn her on... don't ask how to turn Android 18 on...\
29	'''Krillin:''' How do you turn Android 17 on?\
30	'''Krillin:''' (''thinking'') SHIT!
31	* IAmTheNoun: Vegeta's response to Trunks asking if Vegeta believes in his own "hype", or thinking ''that'' highly of himself.
32	* LamePunReaction:
33	--> '''Piccolo''': So yeah, that's basically it in a nutshell.\
34	'''Krillin''': You mean a nut-CEL--\
35	'''Everyone else''': Shut up!
36	* MythologyGag: The notes on the Androids Trunks finds in Dr. Gero's lab reference the WordOfGod from Akira Toriyama that 17 and 18 were twins named Lapis and Lazuli before being converted into Androids and that 16 was modeled off of Gero's son.
37	* NotMakingThisUpDisclaimer: When Trunks is going through the Androids' schematics, he mentions the above {{Mythology Gag}}s found in them. Krillin initially doesn't believe him.
38	* ShoutOut:
39	** In the intro, "[[Film/JeepersCreepers2 Jeepers Creepers]]" is playing on the radio and they noted in the commentary that it is a reference, as both involve creatures menacing people on buses.
40	** [[Manga/OnePiece Pirate Goku, Sword-Guy Piccolo]],[[note]]In English, Piccolo and Roronoa Zoro are voiced by the same actor.[[/note]] and [[Manga/{{Naruto}} Ninja Goku]] while Goku is dreaming.
41	** At one point, Cell speaks in a manner incredibly reminiscent of the WebAnimation/TeenGirlSquad.
42	* SoapboxSadie: {{Parodied}} in Trunks and Krillin's assault on Dr. Gero's lab when Trunks hesitates on killing fetus!Cell.
43	-->'''Trunks:''' Hold on, I-I've been thinking. Technically, it's never done anything wrong... so, doesn't it have the right to life?\
44	'''Krillin:''' This isn't about a right to life, it's about making a choice. A choice we both need to make. A choice between a terrible mistake that can ruin lives, or--f**k it, I'm dropping the pretenses; we're aborting Cell.
45	* SoLastSeason: When Vegeta tries to state that Piccolo is still not strong as a Super Saiyan, Piccolo immediately says that it's not much of a milestone anymore.
46	* SoundtrackDissonance: Right before he enters their studio to kill them, Cell requests TJ and the Wombat to play "Video Killed the Radio Star" which they do. Cell then brutally kills and absorbs the two of them as the song plays, complete with LastNoteNightmare as the episode ends.
47	* XanatosGambit: Tien tells Krillin this is why [[BullyingADragon he continues to taunt Vegeta]] believing that the Saiyan might easily kill him.
48	-->'''Tien:''' At this point, it's a game. If he gives in, I win. And he ''knows'' that.
