Because I didn't hit Control-C on the Blip URL, apparently. Fixed.

Cooler's voice sounds so familiar.

Never trust anyone who uses "degenerate" as an insult.

Surprisingly short, but pretty funny. I'm glad they had more jokes for Cooler than "he's a prick".

This reminded me of something that's bugged me slightly: Freeza went all spikey on the way to his true form. Cooler Stage 1 looks like Freeza's true form, and gets spikey to power up. Why is that?

[up] The explanation I remember is that Cooler starts in his fourth form, and then moves into a fifth form that Freeza didn't have.

  • Somehow, Goku values Krillin over most other living things he knows...
  • I choose to believe that King Cold named his children so that whoever was second, the mere existence of the first would be proof that the second sucks.
  • "Que'st-ce que fuck" is grammatically accurate and my new catch phrase.
  • Just like the character himself and the movie itself, Abridged!Cooler is awesome. The subtle Blasphemous Boast, the voice, everything!
  • All the characters we never see!
    • NNNNNNAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIIIIIILLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!
  • You know what I just realized?
    • Goku: Stupid one.
    • Piccolo: One with weird powers.
    • Considering their wives, and who's been in the series from start to finish, and my inability to give Vegeta credit, does that make Krillin the pretty one? or Gohan?
  • Best part of both versions was the genre savvy or trolling villains.
  • Missed opportunity to subvert "KAIO-what?!"

There's too much win in this video to keep track of.

[up][up]This was the impression I always had as well- the sleek fourth form is the true form, the first three forms that Frieza uses are power savers, and Cooler's fifth form is a special ability possibly unique to him. Interestingly, King Cold doesn't resemble either of his sons' "true" forms, but looks very much like Frieza's second form, which implies that Cold also uses the same transformations, but for some reason (arrogance? laziness?) never actually transforms even when he's in danger.

This General Ivan pretty much nailed Cooler. He did very well.

So many beautiful one-liners. We need a list of them all.

I thought Frieza was more impressive.

I'm surprised by the lack of even a single use of the word "prick".

Even in the scene that was a flashback to when he used the line in the Bardock movie.

I have a message from another time...

"Not going anywhere for a while? Grab a Snickers."

"... I get the feeling we're both missing some context here."

That was hilarious.

I still think that my favorite bit was the "Is that your son? I'mma kill it!" part. Cooler's just so serious that it's really surprising hearing something like that come out of his mouth XD

"Well, I sure hope someone picks up that phone."

"... Le what?"

"Because I f*cking CALLED IT!"

The little grin on Cooler's face as he says this just seals in the comedy. [lol]

Watching ep 26 now.

I loved Piccolo's "Just one." line. As far as an abridged series goes, this has to be the most badass.

I finished the season 2.

Damn, even the abridged Frieza vs Goku fight feels dragging on. I can't imagine how worse the original was.

Goku's fight with Frieza from start to finish takes 19 episodes.

That's nearly 1/3 of entire episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood...
