When Zarbon threw Vegeta into the ground, there was an explosion. Vegeta was wondering what the explosion was about. Long-time fans might be desensitized to giant, random, pointless explosions, and are trained to tune them out.

That part killed me though.
It's probably an orgasm joke...

Considering the string of innuendo, it was my most strategically sound conclusion. :p

So this is where Kaiser said no dub Reacoom. I figured.

Me aswell. I love the jokes in DBZ Abridged where they poke fun at inconsistencies and stupid things in the actual series.

I actually thought that bit was hilarious. More self-referential jokes about strange animation please.

Also, I was really waiting for a comment about the random triangles of light surrounding Zarbon and Vegeta's faces as they stare each other down. That has always, always looked stupid.

Also, also, I was almost ready to stop watching the series during Kaio's rant, until Tenshinhan's comment came in. Good explanation for why none of the characters end up learning shit from Kaio as well.

Hey, I'm slow. I didn't get Tienshinhan's line at all, "Freakin' weeaboo." Can someone explain this to me?

"Weaboo" is a derogatory term used against anime fans, typically the ones who want things to be as Japanese as possible, most of the time for the sake of them being Japanese.

I think it'd be really funny if just for a laugh Yamcha was taught the Kaioken and his first attempt to use it would be against 19 and 20 only to fail before he could get ken out of his mouth

I always feel so bad when Yamcha is the butt monkey. I love me some Yamcha. I guess I'm used to Kuririn being the butt monkey because Toei made him one long before you guys did. He was so much of a butt monkey he got a failure catch phrase (did that carry over to the Funi dub?) :lol:

In episode 124 of Dragon Ball Mr.Popo eats a Kamehameha.

So I'm just going to leave this information here.

Got to say, I loved the new episode. Definitely very funny. My favorite part was Super Kami Guru. Hilarious. Also did Guru call Nail "Big Green" or was I hearing wrong?

You heard right.
Actions have reactions so don't be quick to judge, you may not know the hardships that people don't speak of.

Oh man I am going to miss Guru when he eventually crokes. I didn't think I would like the corpulant old bastard so much in this Abridged series. :)

Yeah, the way they portrayed Saichōrō was pretty unexpected. I like it though. :P

Well, to be fair, it's actually about two months on average, seeing as they started in May 2008 and they're on episode 16 lol
