Me and my friend at my old job always used that line for the sub-zero freezer because that thing broke down half the time, leading to plenty of product going bad.
Sadly, Laserdisc isn't forever, as many owners have found out. Unlike CDs, DVDs, Blurays, etc. The way Laserdiscs were manufactured has resulted in some rotting of the discs themselves. So there is a deadline to preserve those, and plenty have gone past that point already.
"You peaked" was just such a perfect joke to me. I certainly have no problem with Gohan having a quiet life that makes him happy, but there was SOOO much buildup throughout the series that he had the most untapped potential and would leave everyone in the dust, it was extraordinarily frustrating
It's oddly realistic though. Like someone who is a really talented painter or pianist but they work for a living and only exercise their talent as a hobby. But yeah, Toriyama just kind of dropped that idea of having Goku and Vegeta making way for a new generation. He even gave it a bit of an arc, where Goku tries to hand off the hat to Goten and Trunks (even avoiding killing Buu himself, which by his own admission he could have done) before ultimately deciding to do it himself and let his kids live their own lives. Vegeta even lampshades it in the epilogue about their children being weak.
Even the "buildup" was pretty flimsy, let's be honest here. The writing in Dragon Ball is terrible. DB fans could've written a much better arc by now (which isn't difficult because Toriyama's writing is terrible lol).
@@forgot7en Well, go ahead then. No one is stopping you. I think you underestimate just how much work goes into the writing process. There's a reason most fanfiction is disjointed garbage.
@@redshirt49dude, for the love of God I'm so tired of you shits saying this. We get it, things people practice doing is hard for people who haven't put the time in. Whoopty fuckin doo, It doesn't change the fact that we know when shit is good and when it's bad. Us being incapable of doing it better changes absolutely nothing about our opinions validity. And for the fuckin record, people have done it better or at least in a slightly more generic but consistent way. Unlike Toriyama who (R.I.P btw, still love the guy even if he's all over the place) had a lot of bullshit and loose strings and plot holes in his story that only got worse as time went on. People have done great work reimagining it and sometimes improving upon it. I know, Toriyama tried really hard and did really good, but that doesn't mean it's immune to being criticized for its weak points, of which it has many.
@@redshirt49actually there’s a surprising amount of well written fan fiction. Some ppl have the talent for drawing, and others the writing. And Toriyama had one of those
So true. Just by watching these commentaries, you see how skilled Nies the editor has become. So the editor has also been going through a journey with working with the commentary series.
Especially followed by _"This_ is my resurrection, and you're all about to get F'd!" Kai 3 Frieza is on screen for less than 30 seconds and both of his lines are absolutely peak DBZA.
I always thought it was so perfect that when Frieza arrived in this version, he called everyone buttholes instead of assholes. It just made him sound so much more puerile and bratty.
9:36 This is, hands down, the hardest I've ever laughed in the entire parody!!! The delivery of that "VAG***?!" after that C-word cluster bomb and 18's impecably timed silence just breaks down all my comedic defenses! LMAO
So uh, Hellsing Ultimate: Abridged-Creator Commentary when? On a serious note, thank you for this series and of course, DBZA. I cannot overstate the comfort and joy which the original abridged show provided to me as a child. A decade or so later and I find myself met with the same joy and now, nostalgia even, as we’ve been given the privilege to watch it all over again with you guys.

No idea if Taka sees this, but my last couple of weeks have been super rough, and what he said about it being a comfort show really rings true. I've watched the series through, had episodes on in the background to fall asleep to, just generally been using it as distraction and comfort. You guys are great, the show is great, and thank you for making it.
2/10 year overall for me, gone through cancer surgery, skin disease ill likely never get rid of, bunch of crushed dreams and the prospect of a diceroll for my future. Having had these vids every week to look forward to has been my rock. Not just the humor, its been so nice to learn about writing processes, storytelling, video editing, voice acting I didnt expect this level of emotional investment when I found this series back in 2008, but here we are. Ive been sitting here for like 10 minutes trying to find words and got nothing, so I guess I'll just say thank you.
Stay strong man, never give up. This show was and is amazing still to watch, I grew up watching them too and these commentary videos also helped me through some tougher times too 💯🙏🏻

TFS, today I lost my job. It was devastating, and my future is uncertain. Watching this wonderful bunch of commentaries has given me a sense of stability, and seeing it conclude feels uplifting. Thanks. I'm only sad that this show and its commentaries can't happen again.
Maybe in 10 years they will get back together to do Commentaries on their Commentaries lol. Joke's aside I hope you find a good job soon, one thats even better then what you had. If you have enough money saved maybe you can try to turn a passion you have into a job like these guys did.
I have watched it multiple times before and I still fell for it just now. "Wait...did they make us wait a year? Yeah...they totally would. Wait, there's more time on this video." They say memory is the third thing to go when you get old, I guess. Wish I could remember what the first two were.
Yeah, I also believed it for the entire split of the second before Gohan goes super saiyan out of everyone's collective trauma from that wait. Starting shouting no but got cut off. You got me, you sunsuvabitches. :c
I mey taka once at a con and he was one of if not the nicest dude i have ever met. I told him about how their content helped me through a really rough time in my life and he just brought me up on stage and gave me one of the biggest bear hugs of my life. It is a memory i cherish to this day along side all the wonferfull laughs i got from DBZA and all their other projects through the years. Thank you Teamfourstar for everything you've created and will continue to create. Heres to another 15 years!
My two favorites jokes of all DBZA are in Kai 3.5. "Welcome to the room of infinite bullshit" and "But at what cost? Oh, right, no cost." because they exemplify DBZ so accurately
You guys have mentioned people thinking Taka voiced 16 and while I can’t speak for everyone, for me it was because he was the only character not voiced by Taka to get a “you will quote everything I say” line (the others being Napa, Guru, and Cell).
I think that is why. It kinda sounds like Guru, and he gets the “you will quote everything i say” line which every other Taka character has gotten. Thank you for helping me fit those pieces together in my head.
@@Bronn92 - To be fair to *Remix* , that was already how he was voicing #16 in his old WeeklyTuBeShow parodies... Guru just sounded kind of the same, so it ended up confusing some people... maybe?
We did it guys. Anyone who has watched the commentaries, we did it. Took 1,5 years, but every good thing has to come to an end. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, TFS-chan and any fans out there! :D
Although, when you think about it. Piccolo--Namekians--don't have fathers, either. They're all asexual. Sure, they look male to humans/Saiyans, but Namekians don't really have sexual organs; they reproduce asexually. This means Namekians are all clones of each other.
@@forgot7en nah they have asexual birth but they arent all exact clones, im certain theres still some mutations that happen in each generation. It is true that they dont really have "mothers" or "fathers" though but they still have parents
DBZA is absolutely my comfort show, especially recently. Whenever I feel like life is putting me through the ringer, I go back to Broly. Or Lord Slug. Or Namekemania. Considering copyright and the state of things, it's a blessing you guys got to make DBZA.
I love these. I listen to these practically everynight to help me sleep, and I love seeing new uploads of the commentary, bento bar, the ranking videos, and anime crimes sketches. I hope this channel gets to 2 million soon.
I'm guessing you guys won't see this in the tsunami of comments crashing againsts the shores of your attention, but I want to say thank you. Not only for DBZA, which has been a consistent bright spot in my life since a friend in high school dragged me over to watch this "hilarious video" he found while we were supposed to be studying, but for this commentary as well. Being able to go through this show that has meant so much to me over the years as a source of levity and joy when I've desperately needed it with the people who made it has been truly wonderful. Insight into the mind of an artist who has made something that they love and that you love carries a special kind of beauty that I struggle to define. I am honored. I am grateful. Thank you for allowing us to experience your art with you.
You guys suck a ridiculously large amount of time away from my life, and I don't regret any of it. Y'all are amazing! These commentaries are amazing! Thanks for the amazing content, and may you continue to be amazing for years to come!
"NO YOU'RE ME!" Is a line I actually shouted at my nephew when I gave him a shirt from my college to wear once. Both of us and my sister fell over laughing even though they didn't get the reference. So many quotable lines, but that's my favorite one
Does that imply that there’s either something metaphysical about lips that makes the sound harsh to namekians, or just something about the structure of beak-mouths that makes the sound not harsh?
@daelnelbel i think it would just sound normal to them. Especially since their hearing is so much stronger, Piccolo would probably be listening to it and be like "...I don't get it, how is this supposed to be relaxing?"
I know we still have Eradicate Christmas to go, but I can't think of any better way to end these than with a truly heartfelt moment being ruined by a joke. Thanks again TFS.
I actually bought a laserdisc player and a bunch of laserdiscs and having seen them up close and personal and understanding how they work 16’s joke is even funnier 😂
Hm, I don't know if this is the end of this. Surely you guys have some sort of PLAN before deciding TO ERADICATE everything... Say, maybe this CHRISTMAS weekend? EDIT: IT'S CONFIRMED
You can talk about Scott's development as a creator all you want, but seeing that clip of the panel at the end just reminded me about Lani's development in respect to his gains! Bro went from lovable pud to lovable stud! ❤
The "That's right, BUTTHOLES! This is my resurrection, and you're all about to get F-" is my favorite joke out of all of the Kai episodes (next to the two slapping sequences and the "Oh right, no cost! Hooray!" in 3.5).
Thank you Taka for being a part of this amazing commentary series. I wish you the best of luck and a Happy Holiday. I hope you guys do "Plans to Eradicate the Saiyans."
3:52 I just want to point out the fact that DBZA ALSO used this song. Scott plays it during Goku's Kaioken Kamehameha versus Frieza. Like, it played and my ears immediately perked up, lol.
As someone who discovered this series when I was in middle school, I'm now a college graduate. This show was formative for basically my entire sense of humor as an adult and I thank all of you for sharing this with the world.
31:20 Thank you for sucking us guys It's truly been an amazing time, rewatching and rediscovering the love for this series, I can only hope you all keep doing the best for yourselves and others.
Going through this journey again and to hear just how much you put into this series has been a highlight of my year. What you created means more to me than i can truly explain. Its something i always come back to when life gets rough and never fails to get a laugh. Thank you all
In terms of finding comfort in this show, it's funny to me because these commentaries were actually a tremendous source of comfort right around the middle of namek saga that I really needed. Knowing that more of these were coming gave me that reason to keep going since I had something to look forward to. Getting to peak behind the curtain was just really fun for me. Thank you for doing the show, these commentaries, and for being seemingly wonderful people
The insane fact that I was in 5th grade when I saw the first episode and watching this now at 25 with a wife still blows my mind. Thank y’all for years of laughter and merry Christmas!
Man it’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since these commentaries started. I hope you guys continue to do more great things whether it be another abridged project or professional Voice-Acting (you guys deserve it.)
I don't mind Gohan peeking and becoming a side character. I mind Gohan trying to live a normal life and constantly being pulled back in to fight and try to relive the old days. He killed Cell and saved the world, then he got to go to school, get a career, and have a family! He quite literally lived the super hero dream, we should just be happy for him and let him live his life.
I saw an interesting assessment of the Buu saga that essentially posited that the real issue with it, and by proxy how Gohan acted moving forwards, was that it was supposed to return to Dragon Ball's roots as a gag manga, but no one was on board for that, so Toriyama felt forced to go back to action, Gohan's action arc was done, so he had Goku return and essentially used Gohan as a way of flipping everyone who forced him to go back to action the bird.
I remember seeing an analysis of Gohan’s character, and hatred of fighting, basically being because his whole life is basically “settle down, get pulled into conflict, get traumatized, snap, kill the bad guy, repeat” which both some characters and viewers find annoying
22:45 WAIT WHAT!? NO FREAKING WAY!!! With every episode, you guys gain more and more of my respect. I LOVED Rise of the TMNT, and the fact that you got one of the animators of the goated show is amazing!!
So.....this is it. The end of the road. Unless you guys are going to react to the Buu bits. But incase this is the last one, thank you for giving us this fun reaction/commentary on the dragon ball z abridged as a whole! Thank you all for giving us many memories, laughter, and of course many many memeable moments!🤝
I REALLY hope they cover the Buu Bits sometime in the future. Nobody, even they, thought it would happen. And I wonder how many jokes are ones they kept for a long time vs new ones.
I think they also have Plan to Eradicate Christmas. They probably recorded it before this, if they’re going in chronological order, but I don’t believe they released it yet, presumably to release it on or around Christmas.
You guys sucked 15 years of my life out of me, waiting for episode after episode. And I'll gladly give another 15, 30, 45 however many years needed to enjoy your content and work. You took my nostalgia and made it better. So much so I tap into my fat ass side of me and ask, "More please."
Thank you guys for everything. This show means more to me than I know how to put into words. I’m currently downloading all of the episodes onto a hard drive just in case UA-cam takes them down because I have such an emotional attachment to this show I wouldn’t be the same
I still believe TFS helped in reviving western interest again in Dragon Ball. Maybe not directly but still, at a time when DBZ was at a creative lull and with people losing interest, these guys came in and both introduced and reintroduced everyone to such a wonderful franchise full of character, heart and visually stunning fights and visuals. Thank you Team Four Star for everything you've done and showing me that there is more to Dragon Ball than just the fight scenes.
I was there (Gandolf). Dragon Ball was D. E. D. DED. The closest we got to something new was the animation in the video games. We only learned about "Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!" like years later. The internet was barely a thing back then and if you wanted to see something, good luck even finding out IF it was uploaded anywhere. And that's if you learn about it at all. 100% in my eyes, DBZA showed how popular the franchise still was which revived it.
Well TFS did say that a English Dub Line in Dragon ball Super was a direct line from the Abridged series.. I don't know if it was Emperor Pilaf saying "Crap Baskets!"
i was anticipating this more than the episode 60 commentary tbh the ending with everyone just standing on the lookout had me absolutely crying and then 16 walk onto the frame... some of my biggest most cathartic laughs after all these years of dbza! love you guys
Been a fan since 6th grade. I remember recording little snippets so I could watch them anywhere on my shitty little flip phone before I carried the internet around. I’m 29 now. Thank you guys for everything and of COURSE I smashed that like and subscribe button. Can’t wait to see what y’all do next.
What an insane journey these commentaries have been. I didn't find the show until near the end of the gap between episode 60 part 3 and part 4, but getting to follow along with this series made it feel like I was watching along with the rest of the community, learning new things about the show and, honestly, finding it funnier in retrospect now that I know the context. I've been looking forwards to these commentaries every week since they started, and they helped get me through the end of my university degree, my LSAT, and my law school applications. Thanks for making such a fantastic show, and thanks for taking the time to sit down and tell us about it.
I wasn't even a Dragonball fan before finding y'all. But your incredible talent immediately hooked me in. I've rewatched your show more times than I can count. Thank you so much for creating something so wonderful that I can always turn to when I'm feeling down.
Considering how far in advance this was recorded, the bit about plagiarism at the beginning is almost serendipitous. Martin's aggressive delivery of "BUTTHOLES" is quite possible the funniest thing in the series to me. It cracks me up every single time and I love the entire concept of Freeza aggressively yelling "BUTTHOLES" of all things BTW, full Cell cover of Limp Bizkit My Way when?
This has been one of the roughest years of my life without a shadow of a doubt. Getting a chance to go back and enjoy these episodes with you all has been one of the beacons in a sea of darkness. Thank you
Hopefully next year will be a better one for you. If you haven't seen it already, their D&D show was amazing and is sure to bring lots of laughs, and there is tons of it to watch or listen to in podcast form. That and "The Unexpectables" which is a D&D game run by Taka's sister and had him in it for most of the first campaign. The TFS Gaming channel has tons of amazing stuff from like 6 years ago that always makes me laugh.
Honestly after they cover the final movie here on Saturday, I'd love for them to also do a creator commentary for the Buu Bits here in the start of the new year. even if it is sadly without Takahata101
I cried when you guys announced you weren’t going anymore and I cried a couple times through these commentaries. I started watching when episode 2 was new. This show has meant so much to me through my life. Thank all of you guys so much.
31:30 If I'm washing dishes or in a long car ride I'll try to listen to podcasts but oftentimes I feel too lazy and just want something fun that I already know all of the words to. This and Hellsing Abridged are my go-to's, I can knock out a 12-hour drive and not feel tired because you guys are there and the shit never gets old. Thank you
We did not forget about Plan to Eradicate Christmas! It's coming out this Saturday! Promise!

“Y’all best recognize the crackle of my raw, Ssssssexual energy” is my favorite line in the whole series
2/10 year overall for me, gone through cancer surgery, skin disease ill likely never get rid of, bunch of crushed dreams and the prospect of a diceroll for my future.
Having had these vids every week to look forward to has been my rock. Not just the humor, its been so nice to learn about writing processes, storytelling, video editing, voice acting
I didnt expect this level of emotional investment when I found this series back in 2008, but here we are. Ive been sitting here for like 10 minutes trying to find words and got nothing, so I guess I'll just say thank you.
Hope 2024 is much better for you ❤
Stay strong man, never give up. This show was and is amazing still to watch, I grew up watching them too and these commentary videos also helped me through some tougher times too 💯🙏🏻

Dude, hope next year is as close to a 10/10 for you. Be strong, be well!
It's gonna kinda suck when these commentaries are completely done, It's been something to look forward to every week
Yeah... They should do a commentary on the commentaries now! Bo Burnham style!
Plan to eradicate christmas
Hellsing Ultimate Abridged.. I hope they do a commentary on that...
Yeah, I'm sad to see it end.... It's like watching Dragonball Z Abridged end all over again.
@@Mangaka_Library They would need Taka back again for that
TFS, today I lost my job. It was devastating, and my future is uncertain.
Watching this wonderful bunch of commentaries has given me a sense of stability, and seeing it conclude feels uplifting.
Thanks. I'm only sad that this show and its commentaries can't happen again.
honestly, same... lost mine today too, but we got to keep fighting. if not for ourselves but for the ones we care about
Hopefully both of you are in a better place when you come back to watch this. Best of luck.
Maybe in 10 years they will get back together to do Commentaries on their Commentaries lol.
Joke's aside I hope you find a good job soon, one thats even better then what you had. If you have enough money saved maybe you can try to turn a passion you have into a job like these guys did.
*Push ups, sits and plenty of juice !* But on a serious note I wish you the best.
Never surrender comrade, the capitalists will be defeated someday
10:37 these screams went viral as a sound on Tik Tok! Ironically, they were edited in with lyrics from "My Way" 😂😂
Tik Tok shouldn't exist.
For what it’s worth, I remember falling for the “In A Year” joke for a tiny bit before the punchline
I have watched it multiple times before and I still fell for it just now. "Wait...did they make us wait a year? Yeah...they totally would. Wait, there's more time on this video."
They say memory is the third thing to go when you get old, I guess. Wish I could remember what the first two were.
@@Merennulli grandparents, definitely grandparents
Same
Yeah, I also believed it for the entire split of the second before Gohan goes super saiyan out of everyone's collective trauma from that wait. Starting shouting no but got cut off.
You got me, you sunsuvabitches. :c
im 11@@glebglub
"That's RIGHT BUTTHOLES!" With his army gathered in the background. Gets me everytime
“What are we in” is a subtle joke that has simply always killed me
As a fan of pro wrestling and anime "Gohan got that Lex Luger push" killed me 😂
Along with the "My Way" by Limp Bizkit used in the iconic Austin vs Rock WM17 package😏
Same
Luger had zero charisma and character
I mey taka once at a con and he was one of if not the nicest dude i have ever met. I told him about how their content helped me through a really rough time in my life and he just brought me up on stage and gave me one of the biggest bear hugs of my life. It is a memory i cherish to this day along side all the wonferfull laughs i got from DBZA and all their other projects through the years. Thank you Teamfourstar for everything you've created and will continue to create. Heres to another 15 years!
My two favorites jokes of all DBZA are in Kai 3.5. "Welcome to the room of infinite bullshit" and "But at what cost? Oh, right, no cost." because they exemplify DBZ so accurately
You guys have mentioned people thinking Taka voiced 16 and while I can’t speak for everyone, for me it was because he was the only character not voiced by Taka to get a “you will quote everything I say” line (the others being Napa, Guru, and Cell).
And honestly he just sounds like a Taka voice with a filter. You can even hear it in this episode of the commentary when Taka does an impression.
It's because he sounds like Guru
I think that is why. It kinda sounds like Guru, and he gets the “you will quote everything i say” line which every other Taka character has gotten.
Thank you for helping me fit those pieces together in my head.
@@Bronn92 - To be fair to *Remix* , that was already how he was voicing #16 in his old WeeklyTuBeShow parodies... Guru just sounded kind of the same, so it ended up confusing some people... maybe?
Dende?
“Gundam sound effect.” Is always hilarious to me with the actual Mobile Suit moving and the MUSIC USED HOW DID THEY NOT GET SLAPPED BY BANDAI.
Toei were laying down so many slaps that Bandai couldn't get any in.
ironic that it's a rocket punch, the move of Mazinger Z... wonder if they're even aware of what Mazinger Z is, probably not
Bc they didn't get caught.... SO DONT RUIN IT!!!
We did it guys. Anyone who has watched the commentaries, we did it. Took 1,5 years, but every good thing has to come to an end. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year, TFS-chan and any fans out there! :D
It comes to an end again
The “I don’t have a mom” “neither do I” joke kills me every time
Although, when you think about it. Piccolo--Namekians--don't have fathers, either. They're all asexual. Sure, they look male to humans/Saiyans, but Namekians don't really have sexual organs; they reproduce asexually.
This means Namekians are all clones of each other.
@@forgot7en nah they have asexual birth but they arent all exact clones, im certain theres still some mutations that happen in each generation. It is true that they dont really have "mothers" or "fathers" though but they still have parents
Did you read anything I said @@JubioHDX
@@forgot7en if i didnt then i wouldnt be going out of my way to disagree with your final point, would i?
Then you don't know how words work lol@@JubioHDX
I fucking love Scott catching himself mid-word, "Don't you mean cranking it to eight-- OHHHHH NO"
17:53 "...who I think owns your soul, now."
*Accidental Krillin noise*
DBZA is absolutely my comfort show, especially recently. Whenever I feel like life is putting me through the ringer, I go back to Broly. Or Lord Slug. Or Namekemania.
Considering copyright and the state of things, it's a blessing you guys got to make DBZA.
Namekemania is always gonna be top 5
ESPECIALLY Namekemania
I love these. I listen to these practically everynight to help me sleep, and I love seeing new uploads of the commentary, bento bar, the ranking videos, and anime crimes sketches. I hope this channel gets to 2 million soon.
I'm guessing you guys won't see this in the tsunami of comments crashing againsts the shores of your attention, but I want to say thank you. Not only for DBZA, which has been a consistent bright spot in my life since a friend in high school dragged me over to watch this "hilarious video" he found while we were supposed to be studying, but for this commentary as well. Being able to go through this show that has meant so much to me over the years as a source of levity and joy when I've desperately needed it with the people who made it has been truly wonderful. Insight into the mind of an artist who has made something that they love and that you love carries a special kind of beauty that I struggle to define. I am honored. I am grateful. Thank you for allowing us to experience your art with you.
You guys suck
a ridiculously large amount of time away from my life, and I don't regret any of it. Y'all are amazing! These commentaries are amazing! Thanks for the amazing content, and may you continue to be amazing for years to come!
"NO YOU'RE ME!" Is a line I actually shouted at my nephew when I gave him a shirt from my college to wear once. Both of us and my sister fell over laughing even though they didn't get the reference. So many quotable lines, but that's my favorite one
21:00
I find myself using the phrase "aw beans" way too much in my life
The kai rendition of My Way absolutely tore my sides up so glad i got to experience it! Thank you all for your amazing work!
I'm just gonna decide that Cell's whistling doesn't hurt Piccolo's ears because he doesn't have lips.
Does that imply that there’s either something metaphysical about lips that makes the sound harsh to namekians, or just something about the structure of beak-mouths that makes the sound not harsh?
@@daelnelbel Both? Like the difference between using a mike with or without a puff guard.
@@thelastwindwaker7948 I wonder how Namekians would react to ASMR videos.
@daelnelbel i think it would just sound normal to them. Especially since their hearing is so much stronger, Piccolo would probably be listening to it and be like "...I don't get it, how is this supposed to be relaxing?"
I know we still have Eradicate Christmas to go, but I can't think of any better way to end these than with a truly heartfelt moment being ruined by a joke. Thanks again TFS.
The word "dingus" has migrated into my vocabulary SOLELY because of Gohan's line in Kai 3.5.
I always feel like the Android 16 surviving bit at the end is underrated. I laughed so hard the first time I saw it and it STILL gets me
Oh, I get it now! They're the minions we made along the way!
Kaiser- Pretty/Smart One
Lani - Strong One
Taka - One with Weird Powers
29:22-It still hurts how true this is.
Regardless, much love to TeamFourStar. Thank you all for the laughs and entertainment.
I actually bought a laserdisc player and a bunch of laserdiscs and having seen them up close and personal and understanding how they work 16’s joke is even funnier 😂
@31:50
You guys helped possibly millions during the pandemic including myself. You deserve all of the love and support that we as a fan base can give.
“You peaked” won’t apply to you fine fellows, I hope.
*AMEN*
You haven't even gotten that far in the video yet
It already has
FF7A already was a solid continuation. They kept riding high.
Second that
"But at what cost"
*magical wish granting dragon*
"Oh right, no cost! ....Hooray!"
This line kills me. 💀
Well, that's what the Dragon Balls are for.
That moment at the end of the commentary when Lani moves to punch Taka. I love it so much
@@Alvinia101 given some of the end VOs I'm 99 percent certain these incidents are just a joke.
Always end it on a joke.🥲
Hm, I don't know if this is the end of this. Surely you guys have some sort of PLAN before deciding TO ERADICATE everything... Say, maybe this CHRISTMAS weekend?
EDIT: IT'S CONFIRMED
Same exact thought!
👉🏽👉🏽 Ayo
They said WAAAAY back that they plan to do so!
Glad I'm not the only one who remembered.
Lets Jingle those Bells!!
Maybe it'll be a Christmas present...
Hopefully...
You can talk about Scott's development as a creator all you want, but seeing that clip of the panel at the end just reminded me about Lani's development in respect to his gains! Bro went from lovable pud to lovable stud! ❤
The "That's right, BUTTHOLES! This is my resurrection, and you're all about to get F-" is my favorite joke out of all of the Kai episodes (next to the two slapping sequences and the "Oh right, no cost! Hooray!" in 3.5).
Thank you Taka for being a part of this amazing commentary series. I wish you the best of luck and a Happy Holiday. I hope you guys do "Plans to Eradicate the Saiyans."
3:52
I just want to point out the fact that DBZA ALSO used this song. Scott plays it during Goku's Kaioken Kamehameha versus Frieza.
Like, it played and my ears immediately perked up, lol.
Also when piccolo shows up to fight second form freeza
As someone who discovered this series when I was in middle school, I'm now a college graduate. This show was formative for basically my entire sense of humor as an adult and I thank all of you for sharing this with the world.
Man. It's weird that it's over. Again. Many feels were had and are currently being processed. Thank you all for making this.
Loved the whole breakdown of the Kai score and how it was 99% plagiarised. I never really understood how it was stolen, so thank you for clarifying.
31:20
Thank you for sucking us guys
It's truly been an amazing time, rewatching and rediscovering the love for this series, I can only hope you all keep doing the best for yourselves and others.
29:14
Lani: Gohan peaks at Cell.
Fans watching this video: But what about Dragon Ball Super Hero?!
Me adding on: Peaks at Cell!
When DragonBall went away, it left a hole in fans' hearts. You guys filled that hole in us, filled all our holes, and for that, we love ya!
Oh my...!
It's hard to believe it's been nearly 5 years since these came out. Still hold up after all this time!
My mind has two reactions to this comment
Oh, cool its only been 5 years
Oh, my God its been 5 years
Going through this journey again and to hear just how much you put into this series has been a highlight of my year. What you created means more to me than i can truly explain. Its something i always come back to when life gets rough and never fails to get a laugh. Thank you all
In terms of finding comfort in this show, it's funny to me because these commentaries were actually a tremendous source of comfort right around the middle of namek saga that I really needed. Knowing that more of these were coming gave me that reason to keep going since I had something to look forward to. Getting to peak behind the curtain was just really fun for me. Thank you for doing the show, these commentaries, and for being seemingly wonderful people
22:38 I remember asking you at Youmacon if you would ever use Trunks theme from Kai and you said no. I'm glad you changed your mind.
20:46 Semi-perfectly, actually.
The insane fact that I was in 5th grade when I saw the first episode and watching this now at 25 with a wife still blows my mind. Thank y’all for years of laughter and merry Christmas!
Man it’s hard to believe it’s been over a year since these commentaries started.
I hope you guys continue to do more great things whether it be another abridged project or professional Voice-Acting (you guys deserve it.)
I don't mind Gohan peeking and becoming a side character. I mind Gohan trying to live a normal life and constantly being pulled back in to fight and try to relive the old days. He killed Cell and saved the world, then he got to go to school, get a career, and have a family! He quite literally lived the super hero dream, we should just be happy for him and let him live his life.
I saw an interesting assessment of the Buu saga that essentially posited that the real issue with it, and by proxy how Gohan acted moving forwards, was that it was supposed to return to Dragon Ball's roots as a gag manga, but no one was on board for that, so Toriyama felt forced to go back to action, Gohan's action arc was done, so he had Goku return and essentially used Gohan as a way of flipping everyone who forced him to go back to action the bird.
Do you afraid?
I remember seeing an analysis of Gohan’s character, and hatred of fighting, basically being because his whole life is basically “settle down, get pulled into conflict, get traumatized, snap, kill the bad guy, repeat” which both some characters and viewers find annoying
They followed their own rule, they ended on a joke, good job guys
I wanted to make sure someone else didn't already comment this, sorry I can only like you once.
"I'M PERFECT CELL MOTHERFUCKERS" is my favorite cell line.
22:45 WAIT WHAT!? NO FREAKING WAY!!! With every episode, you guys gain more and more of my respect. I LOVED Rise of the TMNT, and the fact that you got one of the animators of the goated show is amazing!!
So.....this is it. The end of the road. Unless you guys are going to react to the Buu bits. But incase this is the last one, thank you for giving us this fun reaction/commentary on the dragon ball z abridged as a whole! Thank you all for giving us many memories, laughter, and of course many many memeable moments!🤝
I REALLY hope they cover the Buu Bits sometime in the future. Nobody, even they, thought it would happen. And I wonder how many jokes are ones they kept for a long time vs new ones.
We still have 'Plan to Eradicate Christmas' coming on Saturday, so one more before we're truly done.
still got one more this saturday plan to eradicate christmas this saturday on namekamania.
I think they also have Plan to Eradicate Christmas. They probably recorded it before this, if they’re going in chronological order, but I don’t believe they released it yet, presumably to release it on or around Christmas.
@@Iron_Blood_Enjoyer1933i think cell vs also. i know they said they recorded it but it got messed up
You guys sucked 15 years of my life out of me, waiting for episode after episode. And I'll gladly give another 15, 30, 45 however many years needed to enjoy your content and work. You took my nostalgia and made it better. So much so I tap into my fat ass side of me and ask, "More please."
Thank you guys for everything. This show means more to me than I know how to put into words. I’m currently downloading all of the episodes onto a hard drive just in case UA-cam takes them down because I have such an emotional attachment to this show I wouldn’t be the same
I still believe TFS helped in reviving western interest again in Dragon Ball. Maybe not directly but still, at a time when DBZ was at a creative lull and with people losing interest, these guys came in and both introduced and reintroduced everyone to such a wonderful franchise full of character, heart and visually stunning fights and visuals. Thank you Team Four Star for everything you've done and showing me that there is more to Dragon Ball than just the fight scenes.
DBZA came out then DBZ Kai came out
I was there (Gandolf). Dragon Ball was D. E. D. DED. The closest we got to something new was the animation in the video games. We only learned about "Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return!!" like years later. The internet was barely a thing back then and if you wanted to see something, good luck even finding out IF it was uploaded anywhere. And that's if you learn about it at all. 100% in my eyes, DBZA showed how popular the franchise still was which revived it.
Well TFS did say that a English Dub Line in Dragon ball Super was a direct line from the Abridged series..
I don't know if it was Emperor Pilaf saying "Crap Baskets!"
To quote Lani in the Burst Limit playthrough on Kenji Yamamoto,
“To be fair, he made new songs as he stole from them. It’s kinda doing a remix.”
i was anticipating this more than the episode 60 commentary tbh
the ending with everyone just standing on the lookout had me absolutely crying and then 16 walk onto the frame... some of my biggest most cathartic laughs after all these years of dbza! love you guys
Been a fan since 6th grade. I remember recording little snippets so I could watch them anywhere on my shitty little flip phone before I carried the internet around. I’m 29 now. Thank you guys for everything and of COURSE I smashed that like and subscribe button. Can’t wait to see what y’all do next.
What an insane journey these commentaries have been. I didn't find the show until near the end of the gap between episode 60 part 3 and part 4, but getting to follow along with this series made it feel like I was watching along with the rest of the community, learning new things about the show and, honestly, finding it funnier in retrospect now that I know the context. I've been looking forwards to these commentaries every week since they started, and they helped get me through the end of my university degree, my LSAT, and my law school applications. Thanks for making such a fantastic show, and thanks for taking the time to sit down and tell us about it.
The Christmas merch plug made Lani look like he was balding. That damn greenscreen.
I'll miss these, it was a blast to watch these weekly!
I never thought the "in a year" bit was suppose to be a fake out, I always thought it was to acknowledge how long time it took.
I wasn't even a Dragonball fan before finding y'all. But your incredible talent immediately hooked me in. I've rewatched your show more times than I can count. Thank you so much for creating something so wonderful that I can always turn to when I'm feeling down.
17:54 Should've just asked Taka. He knows a guy who has souls for days.
Souls for days?
@@toxicdemon1315 Souls for days.
Considering how far in advance this was recorded, the bit about plagiarism at the beginning is almost serendipitous.
Martin's aggressive delivery of "BUTTHOLES" is quite possible the funniest thing in the series to me. It cracks me up every single time and I love the entire concept of Freeza aggressively yelling "BUTTHOLES" of all things
BTW, full Cell cover of Limp Bizkit My Way when?
This has been one of the roughest years of my life without a shadow of a doubt. Getting a chance to go back and enjoy these episodes with you all has been one of the beacons in a sea of darkness. Thank you
Hopefully next year will be a better one for you.
If you haven't seen it already, their D&D show was amazing and is sure to bring lots of laughs, and there is tons of it to watch or listen to in podcast form. That and "The Unexpectables" which is a D&D game run by Taka's sister and had him in it for most of the first campaign.
The TFS Gaming channel has tons of amazing stuff from like 6 years ago that always makes me laugh.
Honestly after they cover the final movie here on Saturday, I'd love for them to also do a creator commentary for the Buu Bits here in the start of the new year.
even if it is sadly without Takahata101
And the Cell vs
I cried when you guys announced you weren’t going anymore and I cried a couple times through these commentaries.
I started watching when episode 2 was new. This show has meant so much to me through my life. Thank all of you guys so much.
31:30 If I'm washing dishes or in a long car ride I'll try to listen to podcasts but oftentimes I feel too lazy and just want something fun that I already know all of the words to. This and Hellsing Abridged are my go-to's, I can knock out a 12-hour drive and not feel tired because you guys are there and the shit never gets old. Thank you
