Vegeta was absolutely marvellous. Comedy gold all the way.
Other than that, it was obviously the part leading up to the actual exciting bit. Can't really fault them for that, but I'm kinda regretting not waiting for the second part to go up before watching this one.
The sub slave race was a bit egregious, though.
Ah. Well.
That was decent of TFS, not as good as they normally do, but even though the original is full of mediocrity worth mocking they should be commended for failing to take advantage of that mediocrity.
I mean, DBZA is funny because it's not just making random references and off-the-wall jokes, right? It's funny because it's not completely inaccurate, it's taking what's already there to a comical extreme, making rationalizations of more ridiculous elements and exagerations of the less ridiculous ones. The less sense the original makes (Trunks's HETAP, Vegeta moving into Bulma's place, Goku giving Gohan a bastardized sequel to Bardock's story, Vegeta showing up inexplicably, etc) the funnier it is when the parody gets there.
Therefore, isn't the quality of the source material inversely proportional to the potential of the parody? Thus, if Broly is terrible as a film, then the parody has a lot of material to work with, and should therefore be hysterical.

I'M MR. MEESEEKS, LOOK AT ME!Pre-rage Broly and everything Vegeta did were the best parts.
I'm guessing no-one ever expected to find Broly funny in a way that wasn't related to mocking him, but there you go.
You know what. I'm really glad they could have funny moments with Broly without outright resorting to mocking him at every turn.
Hell even his passive attitude doesn't feel malicious.
This is a really mature way to make a movie with a character they have stated to dislike, and I like that they can be the bigger individuals and not resort to what so many others (myself included) would probably would have done.
"Goku, I'm gonna show you..."
What an odd place to put a reference...
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.

Trunks being called a Princess by the Saiyan forces and Vegeta immediately taking advantage of that was hilarious.
