That episode was AMAZING! I was laughing from start to finish. Also, Goku pre-emptively "saving" Yamcha was sweet (that's what happened, right?)

Also, the end makes me think it'd work better if you just didn't censor the words to begin with.

Fantastic episode. X3 So much yes for how Bulma/Vegeta went; that was amazing. XD
"Wanna go drive cars?"
Nervous Trunks is cute.
Goku is still adorable (and I will 2nd how awesome it was of him to reach out to Yamcha like that).
Piccolo and Goku's friendship is fun to watch.
Vegeta going crazy-frustrated with how he isn't a super saiyajin.
"Just take the compliment."
Gohan being irritated with the muffin button.
Vegeta's random nipples near the end.
Goku thinking Trunks was a girl, but not mentioning it until after he left so Trunks couldn't correct him. XD
The fact that the commercial that played right after this episode (with Goku's outburst about bacon) was for Baconalia at Denny's.
On hiatus.

Oh my gosh what a brilliant episode! Piccolo singing that Ludacris song made me laugh so hard and Vegeta's nipples. :lol:

Does anyone else find the "Yamucha...Your my friend" part to be kind of touching? :lol:

I really feel bad for the guy now. I hope the jokes on him get kind of lighter from here on out (barring the #20 scene, of course).

Isn't it enough that any jokes against him from here on out are possible because of what Goku said? :P

True. He's kept alive only to be ragged on further. Yamucha, you poor dolt.

I'm still hoping that TFS will eventually throw him a bone one day.

That is going to be rather difficult, what with the only thing he really does from this point is lose to #20 and give up fighting.

Random thought: it might be nice if Goku's random act of kindness is brought up when Yamcha is taking care of him later.

Maybe they could have Yamcha get with Maron (the girlfriend, not the daughter)?

I dunno, I'm just grasping at straws here. :lol:

Given her abridged characterisation, isn't that worse?

Well, in terms of dialogue. Like totally owning a character or telling the main cast off.

Totally. That'd be a great opportunity.

Hilarious stuff as usual! Keep it up guys! Always like spreading your work across the net and I hope you continue on with it!

The swearing is getting a bit excessive, though, it was funnier when it was censored!

Oh boy, Kaiser, you might not have been wrong on that prediction. I don't know how many things this arc is going to be sitting a stretcher for when this done...

But Cell appreciates the challenge. :twisted: :clap:

But this is really like the last episode in reverse; so shooting off in so many places I never expected (I nearly lost it at the hair joke). Except for Piccolo; Piccolo was perfection, and you get big thanks from me for implying he and Goku had some kind of post-Radditz patching up- and in the most juvenile way the footage allowed, to boot. Something the series never quite clarified and I was wondering about. And good way to reel in the Yamcha; there's a point where frakking bad taste.

Honestly, I was noticing it a lot more this episode too. I know you've made it pretty clear there's no going back, particularly given that, well, it's how Vegeta communicates now, but it seems best when it's its own joke.

Great episode, TFS.

Highlights:

- "Oh, thank God... or Kami... or King Kai... I don't know, that whole thing is screwy."
- Goku's inability to keep secrets... and apparently Trunks'
- Darkity dark dark joke
- "Just take the compliment."
- Muffin seal
- Inclusion of the driving episode
- "Ah! My nipples!"
- Vegeta and Bulma's hatef***

The victim of violent head trauma as an infant [...] he's a simple bumpkin with a fair share of brain damage who's natural talents to work out what's wrong compensate for his broad lack of common sense. But he's also a fighter, through and through [...] he fight until he has, in no uncertain terms, beaten his enemy on terms they can both acknowledge. 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.

One of my favorite parts was where Piccolo was telling Goku off for not IT'ing in and saving them from Frieza...

Goku : I wanted to give you guys a chance!
Piccolo : Don't make a habit out of that
Goku : No promises!

Already foreshadowing Gohan vs Cell and Gotenks vs Buu eh? :P

One comment on the video that really made me facepalm was "Sun Wukong? You guys made a League of Legends reference!" Like seriously ...

Not sure if this has been answered before since I haven't read this whole thread, but why even bother with the censorship at all? This is the Internet, not some TV network that has standards & practices. Why not just use the words in their full glory without covering them up with annoying beeps? Either embrace them or don't use them at all, I say, don't just go halfway (and now I'm curious if any uncensored versions are available for viewing anywhere...)

Hilarious episode, by the way. As an ardent Vegeta/Bulma fangirl, I'm think that's pretty close to how Trunks' conception ended up happening :D

The whole episode was awesome!! :lol:

But my personal highlight was when Trunks called Goku Sun Wukong and when Goku was shocked at Trunks' yellow super saiyan hair.

Actually, the reason we censor Fuck is because we just feel like it's a little too... vulgar for the show.

I know that might seem odd, but the fact is? DragonBall is sort of a kids show and while we do like to darken it up and add a lot of adult humor, we don't want to go overboard. Unlike with Hellsing, which is a very, very adult show, where anything goes!
