Wanna take a guess where FUNi got the idea for its Season 1 box art?

I'll let the images speak for themselves.

Is this just a coincidence, or was it done purposely? Perhaps an attempt to capitalize on the latest internet fad...?

I'm more astonished by how bright and smooth the colours are in that screencap 0_0.

And is it just a coincidence the packaging says "Over 900 minutes of action" or something like that?

Anyone know how early we were seeing box art and how early the video hit YouTube?

It looks liked Vegeta's pissed at the Widescreen.

Just for the record, here's Vegeta's 9000 screen as seen in FUNi's new set:

Heh, the thought of FUNi actually taking advantage of that online hit never occurred to me :lol:.

He's also pissed at his brown/purplish hair. "BAKAYAROU! My hair is bu-ra-ku!"

The "smoothness" is because it's been DVNR'd even more heavily than FUNi's new release. Look at those smudges on Vegeta's left arm (his left, our right) - at least they're still separate lines in the FUNi screenshot!

Um...I don't think it's a picture meant to be taken from any particular screen shot. It's the Vegeta Saga....there is a picture of Vegeta on the cover of the box. It's not that hard for me to comprehend.

I caught his "rap" a couple weeks or so ago. XD Vegeta singing anything is amusing to me.

Although they are similar, I don't see as much similarity as with the scouter-crush shot. His mouth is closed in that pic, whereas on the cover it almost looks like an exaggerated version of >9k. And Super Sonic's link just proves that they were aware of it.

But God, Sabat pisses me off. Not only is the guy's exploiting an internet meme for laughs at a press conference (effectively ruining it), but it's one where the voice clip wasn't even his. On top of that, he got the line wrong as well. (Present tense, dummy.) And of course he finishes it off with the typical "bro" line that doesn't even make any sense. 2007 is the year of the 9000? What?

Remember a while back there was a video with the Juggernaut saying "I'm the Juggernaut bitch"?. Well a certain horrible X-Men movie used that line in their movie. An inside joke among the internet became a little joke in the movie. So I can see the whole Vegeta cover and Over 900 thing being more than a coincidence. Also, what rap are you guys talking about?

Also on Youtube, there's a clip of Mr. Sabat singing in character, "Mama Said Knock You Out".
