Mixed on this one; the BIG jokes were great, everything else just seemed there to fill in the gaps. Probably the henchies, even though they ARE just there to pad the thing out, what can you really do. No question of the irony of how this movie has the most bad decisions of just about any Dragon Ball story this side of the Buu arc while simultaneously being one of the best in the film series, even more so since Garlic is so apt at finding jokes in what everyone else does. But then you basically justify that with the ending (Spoiler tags, Chiquita!)

I don't know about Garlic Jr Abridged 2.0. It was good and all, but the first one reminds me of a simpler time, when abridging were full of amateurs, and jokes were really stupid and immature. While the editing polish of Kaiser and the voice talent amazing, I still have a giant soft spot for the first one. Moments like Wheel of Bitch Slaps, and Douchebag's many gags, and "Is that you Edith? Come and give me some sugar!" made the first one so memorable, I don't know if the same can be said here.

Interesting! I love the dichotomy of view on this forum. I personally was not a fan of the first one and was like "ho hum that was good" but not like "lemme rewatch it a billion more times like the others" whereas this one had me loving every moment and wanting more! Like I keep saying different strokes for different folks.

Hahaha, loved it.

Highlights:

- Gohan reading Huck Finn
- "Focus!"
- It did kind always kind of mystify me why they took Gohan when they just needed the Dragon Ball
- "What a... douchebag." (Nice nod to the old version.)
- Piccolo liking the castle
- Tetris Kuririn
- "It's even sucking off your children." SO WRONG AND YET FUNNY.
- Skygina

Missed an opportunity for a Christopher Walken joke, though. Come on! Dead Zone!

Keep up the good work.

He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

I remember that this Huckleberry Finn joke is a reference to an earlier DBZA episode (where Chi-Chi mentions she get the version without the slurs), but does anyone remember exactly which episode it was? Either way, I really loved the reference and how subtle it was.

30, I believe. At least I know it was one that I watched yesterday. And out of the episodes I watched yesterday I'm pretty sure 30 was the only one to have any interactions between Gohan and Chi-Chi.

Oh, thanks. That's a lot more recent than I remembered, I would have assumed early Saiyan arc. You may have just saved me from a wild goose chase. :lol:

They could have released other video to celebrate the deserved 1,000,000 subs instead a remake. i dont think it was the better choice.
still good as always.
A world without Dragon Ball is just boring.

I personally prefer old version, but this one was quite funny too, however, i had trouble understanding a few of Ginger lines (Also, what did Sancho said to Piccolo, after he smashed him through wall?) Seeing ending, i can`t help but wonder, who is bigger loser, Krillin, or Yamucha?

You guys have outdone yourself.

That ending was absolutely amazing, too.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!
Master Roshi: Bulma, I think Frieza failed because he wore too many clothes!

Excellent job. :lol: I was wondering how in the hell Nappa played into this when I saw him on the cast list. Totally wasn't expecting that at the end. I think my favorite bit was either Gohan being high, or the poking at some of the potential plotholes (or at least dumb decisions) I'd never really noticed before.

I'm probably thinking way too deeply on this though, but...Garlic Jr. did pop up at the start of Season Four here...so he clearly existed somehow or another, even if his return never came to anything...so how much of this was Krillin really making up? :P

This was incredible :D I loved how, instead of coming up with a new theme for it, you guys just used what was there and it worked wonderfully. Thank God. *You're welcome*

Small details like the running sound effect when Garlic Jr is dodging God's eye beams were also great :lol:

The ending was above and beyond anything I could've expected it to be :thumbup:

Great work! Hilarious ending!


Could NOT make out a lot of the lines, though, especially of the Henchmen. Either some of them were too fast or muffled by SFX.

Quick question for those that have been having problems understanding the lines - were you watching with or without headphones? I only had about 2 lines, mostly early on, with Ginger that I couldn't make out. Once I got used to hearing him though, I was able to pick things up. But again, I was watching it with my headphones on, so it could be a lot harder without them, I don't know.

I was hearing without headphones, but, honestly, if a line is not very perceptible without headphones or without hearing it a few times, then there's a issue.

I'm not saying there's not one, but I was just curious as to if anyone had listened to it both ways to determine how much of a difference it did or didn't make.

I did actually listen with headphones, and unfortunately, still have trouble with a few lines.

I was already dying of laughter from the "from the front to the back" line. Garlic being scared of Goku was funny too! Oh and Goku's inbetween meal names!
