News.

In which Lanipator butchers the pronunciation of "Illinois" (the S is silent).

I never watched Attack on Titan or it's Abridged counterpart, so I'm not bothered by that. I am intered by the the idea of Return of Cooler Abridged though.

I wish there was more Dicks of the Old Republic though, Lani and Taka are hilarious.

I was watching episode 38. Why did Dr. Gero call Krillin Tien?

He was demonstrating his ignorance and/or apathy of anybody that isn't Goku by mis-identifying Krillin, and could also be taken as calling attention to how irrelevant and interchangeable the human cast is at this point.

I see. One more thing... in episode 42 when Gohan's playing detective, I can't help, but feel like the music is a reference to something. Does anyone know what?

It's from the Phoenix Wright games, when Phoenix is deducing what transpired.

Watching the Buu Saga right now...

...how do you think they're going to manage Vegito? Will Vegeta be the voice in Goku's head, or vice versa? How can you fuse Goku's Obfuscating Stupidity with Vegeta's sheer assholishness? (since both of their character traits are Turned Up To An Eleven)

Maybe he'll be as stupid as Goku, but with Vegeta's voice? Or will they just play up the comedy with both voices running at the same time?

It'll probably be both voices, like the regular Vegito, with a mix of their personalities. Vegeta isn't exactly the sharpest tool in the drawer either, so the real conflict will be Goku's jovial nature mixed with Vegeta's assholery. Probably be passive-aggressive and say some really stupid things.

Saiyan's in general don't seem like the sharpest species in the shed.

Not that they're all Goku or Nappa, but...

"Geez I overslept. It's already nightfall!"

Beat

"For the first time."

Beat

"On a planet with three suns."

Beat

"SON OF A BITCH!"

Then again, Proud Warrior Race Guy isn't exactly known for logic. Gohan and Trunks got lucky that human genes seem to repel Honor Before Reason and similar trains of thought that siayan genetics seem to give out.

[up]Actually, that reminds me of a question I had about one of the earlier episodes.

It's the one where Frieza passes by Dende and says, "Good afternoon," to which Dende responds, "It's morning, douche."

Here's my question: how can the concept of 'morning' or 'afternoon' exist on a planet with no regular intervals between light and darkness? How do Namekians determine when a day ends and when it begins?

Yeah, I'd say so. Though you can't really fault Frieza for getting that wrong.

Then again, Dende was probably still a little peeved about the whole "slaughtering my entire race" thing...

I'm more excited for the lead-up to Vegito.

  • GOKU: Vegeta! We should fuse! It's permanent, so we'll be in each other's head forever, best buddy!
  • VEGETA: SWEET SPACE JESUS NO!!!

Abridged Vegeta has a genuinely justifiable reason to obstinately refuse the Potara for as long as Vegeta did.

wild mass guessMajin Buu is going to be Mister Popo's One-Winged Angel form. The black, red eyes? Slaughters mankind? Mr. Popo will be the final villain.

Or, at the least, when Buu eats him, Buu's going to be possessed by him.

[up] Given how much they've exaggerated the Popo gag at this point, that actually seems pretty likely.

I really hope that isn't the case because

1. Then we won't see him taking on SSJ Goten and Trunks
2. It would be just plain stupid. How long has that joke been a dead horse now?

They seem to be relying on it less now anyway, if his convenient incapitation during Kami and Piccolo's arguing is any indication.

Yeah, just saying it was kind of convenient. Nothing would've gotten accomplished if he'd been his old self during it.

It's still there, they're just doing new things with it, because new variants are required to keep the joke funny.

Drinking a literal gallon of LSD out of a milk jug is still an ungodly feat that only Popo could accomplish, and "BITCH, DON'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO!!!" is the kind of line that only Abridged's version of Popo would have said.
