Gohan asked Videl to cut her hair?

He was not going ham at that time.

I don't know what you mean by 'going ham', but to answer your question - no way. I thought it was ridiculously cute, especially when he meant no harm in it, and Videl gets all defensive.

It's also one of my favorite dub exchanges to this day, just the way Hebert delivers his reply to Goten is great. 'I...don't...know! *sobs*'

Why does this bother you...?

Of course not. And like the poster above wrote, why does this bother you.

The pixie cut is slacking, to be completely honest.

It looks fine to me. And I usually don't like short hair on girls.

She does look like a boy with that cut at first glance. I preferred her pigtails, too.

The misunderstanding about it on Videl's part, and the obliviously simple-minded reasoning on Gohan's, was adorably hilarious.

Some of us DO like short hair on girls, too.

I hate Videl's new hair cut, but the actual exchange is adorable and funny. It looks better 1 month later at the tournament, and I liked how Ooishi drew it in the manga version of the 2008 special. I still prefer her long hair, though. Would have been nice if she grew it out by the epilogue.

Ginnifer Goodwin looks adorable with her pixie-cut.

Anyways...

I thought Videl looked better with longer hair but I think Gohan was just trying to be helpful.
It is in his character to be rude and a bit crass. He's a hick, with no formal education. That is Son Goku. That is who he is.

Superman in an orange Gi was the bastard son of FUNimation. Its not The real character, it is as false as Chatku.

Toriyama likes girls with short hair, Videl gets a hair cut, seems about right.

I was upset a bit when Videl did cut her hair at the time, the long hair looked really great on her. Now I like both hair styles but I must admit I like the long hair on Videl a tad bit more.

I've been trying to decide which hairstyle of Videl's I like more, but it's impossible. I like both about equally I think, they both just look so great on her.

Made her easier to draw in a battle either way!

But I too preferred the longer hair.

...I think you just stumbled upon what the real reason was for the change, I bet.

Toriyama: Ugh, these ponytails. I don't want to keep track of where those should be swinging every time she moves in a fight. ...Let's make her get a haircut.

Wow. That's a lot of slang I don't even remotely understand. But, anyway, when I first saw it, I was disappointed because I really liked the ponytails, and I still do, but I also really like the short hair, and I really like girls with short hair in general. So, no, I was certainly never disgusted.

Psst... Videl has a long hair in GT

Honestly, I like Videl's short hair. Looks very cute.
