Wow, that CopperVision guy has some rage issues. His random shouting was kind of scary.

I stumbled upon the video yesterday. Not really sure what to make of it. The things the kid says makes sense... a bit.
He also does a good job of capturing the DBZ feel in real life, but at the same time it looks kind of embarrassing. I felt awkward watching it.
I believe that anyone has the right to do whatever he or she wants, but not everything should be made available to the masses.

I understand the kid. I too have tried this in the bathroom on several occasions when I was younger and I'm not ashamed to admit it. I wouldn't post evidence of it online though. :)

Over a million views now, so he's probably made $2000+ from youtube revenue alone. :shock:

Well the video's viral enough now that Ray William Johnson has reviewed it.

This is silly. He clearly made the video for it to go viral in the first place. It's disappointing to me that he got what he wanted.

They wanna turn up hours late and steal the show from the pros who had to die for the name." - Yamcha (DBWTF: Z-Rap 3)

"Over saturation is easy. Just drag the slider to the right and there you are: instant interest. And certainly, the majority of the public likes saturated color images. In fact, if you want to quickly create a popular image, simply over saturate the colors and increase the contrast. While you may not achieve a sophisticated image, you will achieve an image that will please a less demanding audience." - Alain Briot

Technically, he shouldn't be able to monetize this video because of Bruce Faulcner's music playing in the background, right?

lolol yeah, and it goes far beyond ephemeral use as well. It's not as if he just happened to have Dragon Ball Z playing on a TV in the background; it served as the actual soundtrack for his video.
It's been done countless times before, but...

I don't think he gets paid for just 1 viral video, you gotta get a partnership from Youtube before you get paid, and for that to happen you gotta prove you are consistent with the views. Damn I remember first seeing that video on WSHH and then I searched it on Youtube, only had like a couple hundred views now it's blown up.

I think all you need to get paid is many views. And after you reach a certain amount of credit you can take the money.

Goku didn't die in GT. The show sucked him off so much, it was impossible to keep him in the world of the living, so he ascended beyond mortality.

I always side eye the people who say "Now my kids/today's kids can experience what I did as a child!" Nigga, who gives a fuck about your childhood? You're an adult now and it was at least 15 years ago. Let the kids have their own experience instead of picking at a corpse.

You can make money off of YouTube videos, unless they're copyrighted/Content ID (or whatever it's called).

Go to Settings > Monetisation > Set it Up > You'll start to make money from views/comments/dis-likes, all counts I suppose.

Make an amazing/stupid video and hope it'll become viral.

GT isn't bad, just sucks ass in comparison to the other 2 animes.

DBZ bootlegs have the movie 9 cover with the pioneer movie 2 description on the back and the disc actually has a Japanese soap opera in MEPG2. :roll:

Lonelygirl15 this guy is not. Back in my day it took a little more to convince the internet that you were a complete idiot. Hell, I still don't know if that Aisha guy was for real! Nowadays it's all transparent Coppercabs and Kawaiikatsunis. *Waves cane around angrily* My generation knew how to troll and we did it all on dial-up!

Oh Youtube. :) (Oh, humanity?) This video was much funnier than the original. In all honesty, I didn't really find the original to be too funny. But, on some of these comments, I had to pause the video, because I was having a laughing fit!
