7 | ''Evangelion: [=ReDeath=]'' is a 2000 GagDub of ''Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion'' made by Studio Sokodei. It takes both the series and the movie and somehow boils it down to a half hour ComingOfAge parody, which is quite an accomplishment. ''[=ReDeath=]'' is frequently shown at anime conventions, and remains one of the more popular and quoted fan-parodies of ''Evangelion'' out there. It was recently re-released in a [=ReDux=] version. |

9 | In the film, we follow LoserProtagonist Shinji Ikari, who sets out on his epic quest to discover exactly what this "nookie" thing everyone keeps talking about is, and, most importantly, [[QuestForSex how he can acquire some of it]]. Meanwhile, his father, Gendo the Pimp, attempts to bring about TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt through the use of a horribly-outdated pop song by Music/{{Prince}}. |

14 | !!''Evangelion: [=ReDeath=]'' provides examples of: |
15 | |
16 | * TheAbridgedSeries: Well, sort of. The term was not yet invented when it was made, so it is kind of [[UrExample a predecessor.]] |
17 | * TheAhnold: Asuka. |
18 | * Music/AlsoSprachZarathustra: The first appearance of the SEELE monoliths (in case the [[Film/TwoThousandOneASpaceOdyssey reference]] wasn't already clear). |
19 | * AudienceParticipationSong: Showings of this at [[FanConvention anime conventions]] usually feature the audience clapping along to Gendou's theme and singing along to a video that sets Music/{{ACDC}}'s "Big Balls" to Franchise/{{Pokemon}}. |
20 | * BigNo: Kaji lets one rip after he uses a crowbar to "free himself" from Misato. It's actually more of a [[GroinAttack scream of incomprehensible pain]]. |
21 | * BlatantLies: Gendo insists that all rumors of him being a pimp are "wild allegations" and he won't respond to them. |
22 | * CoolButInefficient |
23 | -->'''Aoba:''' [[ThePowerOfRock The power of song]] has no effect on the target!\ |

25 | * DistractedByTheSexy: Di$ney fails to stop Gendo because they are all busy ogling Ritsuko. |
26 | * GagDub: It is notable not only for becoming one of the first highly popular and [[MemeticMutation meme-spawning]] Gag Dubs in Western fandom, but for doing so years before the genesis of Website/YouTube and the AbridgedSeries phenomenon. |
27 | * GoToYourRoom: Gendo tries this on Shinji when he starts asking questions about his plan. It doesn't work. |
28 | * LarynxDissonance: Asuka, who has the voice of Arnold Schwarzenegger. |
29 | * LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: As Gendo enters the Di$ney meeting accompanied by his theme music |
30 | -->'''Billy Dee Williams (green member):''' Man, am I gettin' sick of his theme song! |
31 | * {{Leitmotif}}: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-RsepQh342g It's Gendo!]] |
32 | * LukeIAmYourFather: "Shinji, I am your father." |
33 | -->'''Shinji:''' [[SarcasmMode Riiiiiight...]] |
34 | * MakeOutPoint: According to Misato, a hill overlooking Tokyo-3 is one. |
35 | * MemeticBadass: InUniverse. Gendo is portrayed as a KavorkaMan pimp with his own ThemeSong. |

37 | * TheOmniscientCouncilOfVagueness: Di$ney. |
38 | * OverlyLongGag: A still frame of Asuka's reaction to Touji's "manhood" set to the Hallelujah Chorus from Handel's "Messiah." |
39 | * {{Pluralses}}: Misato feels the need to establish that she has "two breasteses". |
40 | * PottyFailure: Shinji pees in the entry plug. |
41 | * ThePowerOfRock: NERV attempts to bring down the attacking angel by performing "[[Music/{{Queen}} Bohemian Rhapsody]]." It doesn't work. |
42 | * ShoutOut: Plenty of em... |
43 | * TemporalParadox: Gendo creates one (and causes Second Impact) by playing the song "[[Music/{{Prince}} 1999]]" in the year 2000. [[spoiler:And Third Impact by playing it again in 2014.]] |
44 | * ThirdPersonPerson: Keel Lorenz/Bob Dole. |
45 | -->'''Bob Dole:''' Bob Dole doesn't have to take this kinda crap! Bob Dole is a cyborg! |
46 | * UnwittingPawn: Kaji to Gendo. |
47 | -->'''Kaji:''' I found the original CD of Music/{{Prince}}'s ''Greatest Hits'', so I gave Gendo the disc he needed so I could discover the truth behind his plans.\ |
48 | '''Misato:''' But you gave him the disc!\ |
49 | '''Kaji:''' Yeah. It was the only way I could get close enough to the truth!\ |
50 | '''Misato:''' But you ''gave'' him the ''disc''.\ |
51 | ''[{{beat}}]''\ |
