It's pretty silly, but I got a nice chuckle out of it.

The Dragonboxes are like a middle aged woman who still looks good through simply taking good care of her skin and body with maybe a tiny bit of makeup while the Orange Bricks are like a middle aged woman who get's 50 tons of botox, makeup and plastic surgery in order to look younger and as a result looks even worse. ~ ringworm128 Still recording Toonami broadcasts on VHS after all these years! #1 Paikuhan fan!

Mega64 are huge fans of the series, don't be offended!
Rocco, the guy playing Goku, even says the Japanese names most of the time. I think you see manga pages up on Dr. Poque's wall in the show too.
Check out some of their other DBZ related videos here and here!
Old Kanzenshuu member Princeofsaiyans is getting a lot of shit on youtube for stating his opinion.
Why Dragon Ball Consistency in something such as power levels matter!
Spoiler:
Doctor. wrote:I've explained before, I'll just paraphrase myself.
Power levels establish tension and drama. People who care about them (well, people who care about them in a narrative) don't care about the big numbers or the fancy explosions. If you have character A who's so much above character B, who's the main character, you're gonna be left wondering how in the hell character B, the character we're supposed to care and root for, is going to escape the situation or overcome the odds. It makes us emotionally invested.
If character B doesn't escape the situation in a believable way that's consistent with previous events, then that emotional investment is gone. It was pointless tension, pointless drama made just to suck in the viewer. It has no critical value whatsoever. The audience is left believing that the author can just create whatever scenarios he wants and what happens to the characters is decided by whatever the author wants to happen, regardless of the events that happened in the story. Which, in fairness, is what happens, but the audience wants to be fooled. The audience wants to know that the world they're following has rules. That the world they're invested in isn't going to bend to external factors that are irrelevant to them.
An author can do whatever he wants with the characters, that's not false. But the author should also have the responsibility to make sure it fits in cohesively with the other events in the narrative he has created.

They sometimes read comments like that on the podcast, it'd be funny to see if they mention people complaining about a parody video and how it isn't respectful for the source material.

WE WERE REMARKABLY FAITHFUL TO THE SOURCE MATERIAL AS OUR TRAILER IS ALMOST LINE FOR LINE FROM AKIRA TORIYAMA'S SECRET NOTES (HE TEXTS US OFTEN)
There you go, shoatsout to Mega64 for getting Toriyama-sensei's secret notes.

Oozaru never could take a joke.

Of course they were making fun of DBZ. People really need to lighten up about this kind of thing and laugh at themselves a bit more; it makes you much happier.
I love Mega64 videos and this was really cool of them, especially due to the fact they used the authentic music of the show rather than something else.
I recall seeing other live action attempts of Dragon Ball but despite how silly this one is, I find it to be better than the rest.
FUNimation 2015 Releases I want:
- Kai 2.0 on Blu-ray
I thought this was hilarious. Kinda how everyone loves Weird Al and no one hates on him for "ruining songs". Then again, there's kind of an unsaid rule of you can't hate on Weird Al.
