TFS is no stranger to making jokes and later making jokes that contradict them. You just accept the more recent material as what is the current canon.

One's a movie, one's from the series. And the movies only seem to be canon to the movies.

It's also the 1st movie...the 2nd movie.

I mean, part of the point of character-based humor like TFS relies on is that it in some way reflects the character.

I don't care about the continuity of the movies per se, but for any of the jokes to work, they have to in some way, shape or form be in-character.

Enjoying sex and thinking that sex organs are gross are not mutually exclusive opinions that one can hold.

So I'm watching their live commentary on episode 60 part 1 and it turns out it's been Xander Mobus voicing Jimmy Firecracker. Damn, that dude has a good range.

Oh shit that's Xander Mobus (aka the most hardcore name for any real human being to have)? Neat. I didn't recognize him but it does kinda sound vaguely like his hammier Darios voice now that I think about it.

Honestly how they handled SS 2 Gohan/Super Gohan 2 was unexpected yet fitting way for me.

He's monotone creepy yet snarky at the same time.

Also the last word from Goku nearly made me cry.

BTW I already watched on twitch (because it wasn't in youtube at the time)

O_O SS 2 Gohan scares me.

"For the last time, I am not an Oompa Loompa."

That speech by Goku was great.

"Try to forget you're half Vegeta and don't f**k this up."

Man part 2 easily made up for part one. Even though SS 2 Gohan is a bit terrifying now.

Yeah, I really liked their take on SSJ 2 Gohan. He's hyperaggressive with his words. He still abhors violence, but that doesn't mean he isn't willing to do it.

So I guess we were all right, that part 2 would end with a hole in Vegeta's Trunks.

Huh. Part of Gohan's speech to Cell about how much he hates the act of killing him seems like it's inspired by Kurapika's speech to Uvogin about basically the same thing from Hunter X Hunter

Didn't Gohan say here that he was afraid would "Finally kill someone"? Didn't he kill some Freeza minions on Namek? And I think he killed a dinosaur when training with Piccolo? And maybe the spice boys? Even though that was non-canon, even in abridged.
