So... if Cell ate Gohan. Did Cell lose the ability to dodge himself?

That's not quite how Cell works.

It would if they believed in Rule of Funny. Even if it's not that funny.

I also liked the DODGE gag. I was disappointed when Frieza shot Piccolo through the chest and they missed a golden opportunity to have Gohan echo, "Why didn't you DODGE?!" at him.

Fortunately, the second episode of Kai Abridged corrected this.

Personally, I'm glad that they missed it on the first go around because I think it works better in Kai Abridged.

I liked the return of the Krillin Own'd Counter on that preview. He was flying as well, and had all three dimensions to work with. No reason for him to play Insect on the Windshield.

Which is why it's a stupid setup to a stupid joke. I'm personally not a fan, and I'm hoping they're saving the good stuff for the episode itself.

I think the best episode preview was the one with Cell talking to Nicky Town.

I didn't like the Nicky Town gag mainly because I've never been particularly fond of Cartman.

So I watched the history of Trunks video. Dark.

However I kept expecting some sort of Terminator like theme everytime 18 and 17 appeared.

[up]They used the Terminator gag in second Cooler Movie, so they probably didn't want to repeat it.

Yeah. The voice made it sound too much like a South Park gag. "Cell's tail" is a dead ringer for Cartman, who is a thoroughly unpleasant character but not in an enjoyable way, while the context itself could be transplanted straight into a South Park episode, especially when it ends on "BITCH I DO WHAT I WANT!"

In fact, prior to looking it up to see if there were any direct connections just now, I was under the impression that it actually was a South Park dialogue between Cartman and something Cartman was supplying a voice to.

Cartman had the same dynamic with his cat in the very early seasons. It's separated by time and tone enough to seem a bit more distinct, and could stand on its own as just showing how demented Cell is.

As usual, I will wait until it's on youtube to watch because my new hand-me-down laptop can't handle the TFS site player.

It sounded like Cartman's Polly Prissypants voice. But while I have lost interest in South Park due to it getting preachy, I liked the Nicky Town gag. Cell being immature enough that I'd expect that sort of idiocy.

That scene is directly lifted from Cartman's tea party, including "Bitch I do what I want".

But I find Cartman to be absolutely hilarious, so I liked that scene a lot.

So what is the music that plays as 16 charges his arm cannons after rocket punching Cell?

I really like it.
