To try and be helpful...

Pun doesn't have an "e" at the end.

And you're either trying to say hysterics or histrionics.

Pretty sure "pune" is a Discworld reference.

[up][up]

Yup.

To be pedantic, in the book it was a spelling change made to highlight a pronunciation error.

So... The person pronounced it as "poon" instead of "puhn"?

Is "play one words" also a Discworld reference?

[up][up][up] yeah. The character had read the dictionary through, but it wasn't one of those dictionaries that tells you how to pronounce stuff.

I'm just glad lip flaps got its own section in the Breakdowns, because it means I don't have to pay much attention to that part. I just sort of assume every episode features heavy editing of lip flaps.

I can't wait for them to take on Bio-Broly. It's my most anticipated movie.

I'm anticipating Broly not for Broly, but for Paragus.

I'm really hoping he's like his Big Green Shakespearian thespian version.

I'm anticipating the first Broly movie just because I want to see if they can make new jokes about him.

There's no way they won't be able to make new jokes about him.

Then again, maybe they don't have to.

Brolly just really hates Goku talking right. Have it be revealed right away that's why he's so nuts, with damn near everyone being like that makes sense.

Although, it will likely be used to make Gohan hate his dad even more.

I wonder how they will handle Gohan asking to wear the same clothes as his dad in the Buu saga?

Alternatively, the conflict is not necessarely solved, but Gohan feels guilty for his father death. Over the years, he concludes his father wasn't that bad and, instead, make up an idealized version of him in his head. Kinda like future!Gohan did for Piccolo.

Piccolo has shown more affection towards Gohan though. Goku even talked to his son as an afterthought at one point.

I mean Piccolo outright tells him he's a good kid after seeing how Vegeta treats Trunks, so at least Piccolo is sort of idealized for a reason.

Every accusation by the GOP is ALWAYS a confession.

Seriously, I feel like you guys are playing up the "Gohan hates his dad" joke to be the biggest and worst joke ever.

[up][up] Yeah, Abridged Gohan's father/son relationship with Piccolo has been pretty firmly acknowledged and supported by basically everyone. Even Goku.

  • GOKU: Wow. Gohan sounds like he's had a rough time. Piccolo should really have a talk with him.

Well, things might chance (or get worse) while in the room of time and spirit.

Maybe Goku will show some better parenting qualities while in the chamber, but Gohan will be too angry and bitter to notice, only realizing that his dad had better qualities after he dies.

I'm still pulling for the Brick Joke in all of this is Goku (unintentionally) showing Parental Favoritism to Goten.
