It's already been posted, but I liked the part with Gero waving his fist.

Also, I have to wonder why there's a wall made of hot dogs.

Think of it as an encore or just for the people who haven't seen it. :P Personally, I didn't think it was funny at all. Then again, SNL fell off years ago.

Actually, it was making fun of the Japanese guy that won a hot dog eating contest a while back. I guess he was a fan of Dragon ball.

I watched this when it first aired about a month ago, but I honestly didn't find it all that funny. The concept behind it (making an old-school anime hero out of Mr. Kobayashi and his "skillz") is fine and all, but the way they portrayed it in a DragonBall style came across as more mocking the show than parodying it, in my opinion. It was one of those things when you're just kinda staring at it with a weird look on your face, wondering whether or not you should be finding it funny. I personally opted for "not."

Chill (This word sucks though....) its just a parody not a mocking, maybe you haven't seen the other TV Funhouse clips yet.

I meant Dragonball ones. I found this one, lol it's funny because it makes me think of Pingu. I don't even think it's a language but I love it.

I don't need people to post links now by the way. I haven't looked for parodys before and learned you can find them easily enough just by typing it in.

Thanks though Synthe :)

I've seen this floating about on the forum for a while, but this is the first chance I've had to watch it... it had its moments but overall I didn't really find it funny to be honest.

Same here. I wasn't as funny as Mike made it out to be in the podcast.

Edit: I just noticed that the 3 of us from the UK didn't find it funny. Infer what you will from that.

Well, I saw it when someone made the first thread about this, so its probably just getting old for me. So you friends from the U.K. can consider New Jersey a home away from home. :wink:

It was not bad, the hotdog-eating thing was crazy thought, and I say I found it funnier than weird out.

I'm from the UK, and I thought it was friggin' hillarious. (Ok, the UK bit wasn't nessicary, but I jus' wanted to join in.)
I thought the randomness of it all was great, the hotdog wall had me in stitches, and it reminded me A LOT of " Lets Fighting Love " on South Park, which is a parody of anime, not a mockery, like this.
