I think is the best that the Z-fighters have ever gotten along. Basically zero infighting between them, and minimal insults.

It appears Veggie used the same blast like 3 times and that's all he did.

Took me a second to figure out why they had a special thanks to Weird Al at the end. The song playing in the last minute or so was The Night Santa Went Crazy. Fitting.

Anyways that was pretty funny.

Have you any dreams you'd like to sell?

I teared up at the "In memory of Hiromi Tsuru" picture. This was a nice Christmas surprise.

Why was Piccolo so angry at Slug?

To contrast Slug's mild entrance and set up Goku and Vegeta's response to Turles.

They're the only Namekians and therefore must be each other's archenemy.

I think this one had a pretty sluggish (no pun intended) beginning, and only really got going when they got to Raichi's moon.

I don't really blame TFS for that though, considering this is probably the weakest source material they've ever had to work with aside from Episode of Bardock. Actually, scratch that. This is the weakest source material they've ever had to work with.

I think the rule with PG-13 is that you can use fuck, cock, or cunt, but you only get one to use in your film. No idea why PG-13 would apply to a You Tube video, though.

Never Found the Body means he may still be alive.

He probably is. I think this is one of those moments where TFS used their series to plug a plot hole. Specifically, retconning Tarble into existence made it really awkward that all the characters were so insistent throughout the series that Vegeta, Nappa, Raditz, and Kakarot were the only Saiyans to survive the destruction of Planet Namek.

The canon explanation for why Tarble never came up before is basically, "Because f*ck 'im." He's a weakling so Vegeta refused to acknowledge his existence.

TFS here provided an alternative answer. Vegeta thought he'd killed Tarble, so he had no motivation to ever seek him out after the destruction of their planet. So far as he's concerned, Tarble's as dead as the rest of the species, and he will continue to hold this belief until Tarble shows up in "Yo! Son Goku and Friends Return".

Kind of? Santa says that Vegeta blew a hole in his sleigh, and Vegeta said that no-one ever found the pod or body, so it seems more like they just assumed that Vegeta shot Tarble when in reality he hit Santa, and that misunderstanding has now been cleared up.

Santa never said that...

He said the Saiya-jins shooting at him is why he stopped going to their planet.

The one thing Santa listed out of Vegeta's naughtiness was that he shot a hole in his sleigh.

[up][up]He said it in this special. He mentions that Vegeta blew a hole in his sleigh, prompting Vegeta to celebrate that his shot did hit Santa.

Which does logically mean that he did not, in fact, shoot down Tarble's pod and kill him. But it still works for an answer as to why nobody ever noticed or cared that Tarble existed back when the number of surviving Saiyans was an important plot point.

The logical conclusion therefore is that Tarble is in fact alive, but Vegeta would have to care more about his brother to draw the logic train to that conclusion. This information is being gained at a time when we are safely past the point where Tarble's existence would have mattered to his goals or motives anyway.

[up][up][up]Watch the special before you engage in a conversation about it.

I loved the joke about Trunks breaking the time-space continuum punctuated with a flash to the original version.

Is it just me, or are they writing Goku as more intelligent than they otherwise have been as of late?

The problem with Vegeta thinking Tarble is dead is that in episode 34, he references Tarble. He probably believes that Tarble is probably alive, but just doesn't care enough to look for him.
