When Cell was on the phone with the Hetap guy, (my favorite part of the episode,) it made me realize that the Cell Games are going to be televised and I immediately remembered Namekimania. It filled me with great joy thinking that we might get to see more Earth TV with commercials and announcers and other stuff. Maybe that's just me.

Speaking of televised stuff, how much of the Saiyan invasion does the general population know about? Would they even be aware that the invaders were even called Saiyans?

I think the delivery at the end could have been better.

They should no nothing about, but for a joke like that I doubt it matters.

They bring up a good point, though. This has been a topic of debate for awhile but did everyone in the world really just forget about all the shit with King Piccolo and that one city just exploding? Because it makes everyone buying Mr. Satan's bit make even less sense.

And yes, I know it's supposed to be funny, but I can't help thinking about it.

Popo knocking 'Geets off the lookout was my favorite part.

I don't care if some people think the Popo joke is stale, I like it.

Well, they DID have cameras there for a little bit, until the cargo robot got blowed up. But the cargo was people!

Hell, they forgot Roshi blowing up the Moon and one of the contestants turning into a giant monkey, the entire ring getting made into a crater in the very next tournament, and finally Piccolo Jr. showing up and him nuking the entire island in the tournament after that, which came about after they saw him tear his arm off and regrow it in a few seconds.

Yeah, but this joke is kind of fucked up any way you think about it. A lot of people will be upset about it because it's a friggin' rape joke.

Considering how they were talking about it during the stream, I'd guess that was unintentional.

[up] It was definitely unintentional, it was meant to be an angry sex joke and nothing more, just could have been conveyed better.

Yeah, they should've written it better. I mean, I know TFS has done some really good jokes that crossed the line, and they've done not so good ones that even they've admitted weren't good (the rape fantasy with Vegeta from the Namek saga, for example). I know they didn't mean anything negative by this and were just trying to do another joke to cross the line twice. I just wish they could've done it better to where it didn't look like Goku was being raped.

Well, too late. Now they gotta deal with it.

One where female on male rape is a bad thing?

Well yeah. Because it should be. Well, Rape is bad period, and Gender shouldn't matter in it.

And that's all I'm gonna say on the matter, because I'm gonna change the subject and say I also liked the Popo joke. Vegeta was the last person unaware of what he could do, and kept pushing his luck because he didn't know Popo could pwn him.

I mean, it's Vegeta getting his ass kicked. When is that not funny?

[up]Not that you're wrong, but dePsycho's comment was basically saying the same thing. Look at what it was in response to.

On another subject, I liked the clothes beam gag. Especially leading up to it with Nail and Kami making fun of Piccolo for his heart skipping a beat. [lol]

I choose to interpret it as angry sex, and find it funny.

So a thought on that rape scene (And I'm sorry if you guys want to move on that topic); it was mid day when Chi-Chi booted Gohan and Krillin and then night when the actual rape took place. Just what happened between those "few hours?" If we agree that was a rape scene, then Chi-Chi likely had to wrestle Goku into submission. If that's the case then good lord, Chi-Chi is stronk!

The only other outcome I can think is that she was able to coax Goku into giving proper consent.

We are all made of star stuff. Very, very weird star stuff.

Well Goku does consider mouth presents "presents."

But then he's all grossed out by having to... please Chi-Chi, at least according to World's Strongest.

I kind of hope Wheelo comes up again. That end was funny.

...I feel the need to point out that I'm not sure I would ever use youtube comments as a barometer for morality.

Or ethics.

Or taste.

Yeah, us guys in the MCU Thread kind of figured that out when we linked this one video there and I ended up seeing the comments...
