11:20 And there's me going..."What is even going on??" 20:44 And if you do cover Abridgimon, I edited the thing so I could easily talk about it because I made so many gags.

When Chris Ayres told him, “I don’t know if I’m allowed to watch what you make.” It just really shows how ground breaking TFS was and how they really were pioneering dealing with copyright bs on UA-cam and being creators. Not only did TFS inspire a lot of people but they also fought a lot of battles for the community. Battles that a lot of people, like TNM, are still fighting. These guys were pioneers in more ways than one. A lot of people owe these guys.
They definitely exposed how toxic the copyright system is and how idiotic companies can get with it. I never would've gotten into DBZ and sank hundreds of dollars into the merchandise without TeamFourStar.
@@TheAwesomeDarkNinja I got into Dragon Ball before TFS came around but now they are inseparable in my mind. Their dub is a legitimate as any other version and I go to their content more than the “real” version.
I like the idea that lanni and kaiser have just been sitting in this room waiting for the last two months until lanni snaps out of the trance to film another episode. It's like their self inflicted saw moment
That tale about Chris Ayres was so sweet. The tale about Taka was so funny and so relatable. To the fan: I concur we all been there. I even acted awkward when I met a lot of people I’m fans of At cons, even a portion of TFS. So long as you’re not being rude, you can look back at the moment and laugh. It’s nice to be reminded that the team are generally chill folks
I totally get the fan story. I met Nichelle Nichols (Lt Uhura in Star Trek) at LAX and totally gaped like an idiot. Thank God my stepdad saved me from making a total ass of myself. He told her we were big fans and she was very happy to hear that.
15:07 This bit has permanently affected casual conversation between a friend and I, and I thank you for it lol. When fitting we'll just do that exaggerated nod, or when texting just throw in a "*Bulma nod*".
The miracle coincidence that the person that Taka brought the mic to would be the SAME GIRL from the story just makes that entire thing perfect to a T XD
The look Scott gave Lani when Lani mentioned the furry thing made me start coughing from laughter my god. Seriously though, that must be a huge ego boost to have your work referenced in a bigger work, and that line works so well for Eggman anyway, it doesn't really feel like one! Also, that Chris Ayres story is just wholesome, goes to show how inspirational TFS is, but J G put it into better words than I could.
I have two takes on what Bulma on Namek could have been, one fairly normal, one is a VERY hot take. 1) Use the fact she's a tech genius more. Give Krillin/Gohan/Vegeta some form of modified scouter tech so she can be their "guy in the chair". Have her sneak onto one of the enemy spaceships so she can steal tech to help repair their own spaceship. Have her make fake dragonball signals to throw off Frieza and his men. Have her be the one to decipher and translate the means to summon Porunga in Ancient Namekian or whatever. There's just so much she could have done. 2) She should have been the catalyst for Goku turning Super Saiyan, not Krillin. Krillin has died before, and Goku has been enraged at it before. Krillin was also a warrior, the risk of dying is always going to be there, something Goku would be well aware of by this point. Bulma was not a warrior. She was an innocent bystander who had no means of defending herself, having to trust Goku and others to be there for her. Frieza killing her just because he can would have been an act of absolute evil and cruelty that would easily push Goku over the edge. She is the first person Goku ever met after Grandpa Gohan died and his first ever friend, a connection that is often forgotten about, especially as the list of Gokus friends grows as the series goes on. Her dying because Goku couldn't protect her would easily push him over the edge in terms of rage.
Bulma being the super saiyan catalyst would be so fucking cool and it would kind of align with how in (canon or maybe filler) Bulma still had a thing for goku during namek with the cloud thing so maybe she could’ve died to save gohan as a way of moving past it
On the one hand, there's a discussion to be had about the sexism of comics where female characters are killed off for the development of the leading male character's story On the other hand, your mind OP, that's really cool from a thematic stance. I wish Bulma wasn't sidelined so bad on Namek
But the thing is Krillin was dying for the second time Goku didn't know he would be brought back because he was already brought back once This time it was definitive
I had an ad break during that moment. Which really just made it funnier, because it was like *awkward pause* -> commercial -> *awkward pause continues*
I was just thinking earlier today, it's such a shame that the DBZA Goku and Zarbon never met. Goku's innocence and Zarbon's compulsive innuendo could have played off each other so well. Then again, Cell came (mmmh) pretty close
Okay. Real talk. "HEY GUYS. YOU REMIND ME OF SOME ASSHOLES I'M GONNA KILL" Best. Verbal. Threat. Of. All. Time!!!! Possibly one of my favorite lines you guys have done in any of the series. For sure top 3. ...tied with the Cell line to Trunks. "You couldn't FATHOM the amount of dead men behind me." Just so fucking amazing. 👏👏👏👏
Despite the fact that Resurrection F is Flawed, Chris Ayers’ performance in the dub was certainly a highlight and definitely cemented him as the definitive English Frieza for me ever since. RIP :(
I can't even watch original funi dub anymore. No disrespect to Linda, I grew up with her voice as Frieza, but Chris made Frieza the true terrifying villain he deserves to be. Rip.
I did get very sad while watching their playthrough of Dragon Ball: Kakarot recently because they do mention how Chris Ayers isn't doing well, but that he is "getting better".
"Yamcha's here! YAMCHA'S DEAD!" Is one of my favorite most remembered lines in all of DBZA it's just so succinct and well executed. I still quote it whenever i see a character show up in something only to immediately get bodied (doesnt happen a ton but more often than you'd think)
The first time I saw Yugi and his line of "This has HOW MANY subscribers?!?" I died laughing so hard! One of the GREATEST punchlines ever, and probably the best of the whole series!
I just want Kaiser and Lani to know that the Destructo Disc joke with Vegeta and the vagina joke with Dodoria are two scenes that randomly show up in my head regularly and that I laugh about it everytime.
Taka had a really heartwarming story about him during his stream. When Taka was in a very low point in his life, Chris reached out to him unprompted and gave him a really heartfelt message helping him pull through it
fun fact for "Cooler's revenge", in the german localization it was called "revenge for Freezer" which makes so much more sense. the rare gold the german localizers struck back then
- those Convention stories give me life, big shoutouts to that lady & Rest in Peace Chris Ayes - I'm still on the camp that Hyping up Yamcha was the funnier option for the main Abridged - thing is, if they have had the Fake Nameks be woven into the main treasure hunt then Bulma would actually been useful as she was the one leading the crew until that point - RIP Adobe Flash, i miss the versatility & content, can't say I'm sad i no longer see that crash screen - LMAO Kaiser going from pride to death glare - 32:45 Taka's career in one Taka quote
25:00 I just love that he's completely frozen, the look of Death and bewilderment on Kaisers face is pure and amazing, like a deer I the headlights that wants to kill the cars
I knew that Parunga said something in reverse in this episode, but I never knew how to play it in reverse. I have been waiting 9 years for this reveal. Worth it.
Honestly, I think the whole Adobe Flash Plugin crashing joke works even better now, cause it means that his scream of rage was so great he destroyed Flash in its entirety.
I can imagine Nick singing "Time Warp" using Vegeta's voice or "Sweet Transvestite" with his vocal chops. I heard Ryo Horikawa (original Japanese VA for Vegeta) sing Cha-la Head-cha-la (DBZ theme) live. It was surreal.
Goku's ship annihilating the Ginyu force might be my favorite joke you all have ever done. There's obviously tough competition, but the superficial gag, combined with it being a allegory for how easily Goku just wiped the floor with the Ginyu force in the actual series, alongside the visual execution of the joke, Krillin's line delivery, etc, all comes together into a top tier gag that cracks me up every time.
I think my favorite thing about the Yamcha trope is that they went so far as to incorporate it into the baseball episode of Super. The sport besides martial arts he's most familiar with, and he still gets wrecked. Though, to be fair, everyone was trying to use their powers to outplay one another. But it's still hilarious to see Yamcha in the same exact position, but on a baseball field.
I absolutely adore all of the pauses Kaiser keeps making to note the editing, the visual gags, all of the jokes that can easily be catch it or miss it. He shouldn't be sorry because it's beautiful flavor in the commentary!
The fact you did a Frankenfurter impression makes me so happy. My dad LOVES that movie. He admits to seeing it over 50 times. They would play it often at local theaters and they had traditions of doing things for certain lines like throwing toilet paper when they said "Great Scott!"
I wonder what happened to that girl. 😂😂 So hilarious how she was there when Lani told the story and then confirmed she was 19 now! (At that time) Totally hilarious, and I wish I had been there to see that. 😂😂
I remember taking the bit of Parunga and recording it with a Nintendo DS so I could play it backwards and find out what he said. Set me rolling on the floor when I first heard it.
Ah man. Listening to this made me wonder about the potential of Bulma on Namak. Maybe getting kidnapped and almost killed, but then dropping that she could make a dragon radar which now Frieza need after the scouters got blasted. So she’s pretending to make that while also sabotaging the ship, could possibly find Vegeta in the healing pod, gets him out and they both start wrecking Frieda’s ship before he steals the dragon balls.
There used to be a really cool flash game for DBZ. You trained Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks in 5 areas. Once they were trained in every area, they became Super Saiyans. They fought the Ginyu Force in five different locations on Namek, then Frieza. That's the one flash game I miss.
Dragon Ball Z Mission To Namek is the one you're referring too. I played the shit outta it as a kid. The game is on archive.org but you still need to find a working flash player, or you can download it as a part of a flash preservation program called Flashpoint if you want a more all-in-one solution. Bonus: You can also find Dragon Ball Tournament, which if you were playing Mission to Namek back on the old Cartoon Network site is likely just as nostalgic of a game once you see and remember it. Enjoy!
I don’t think you guys understand how much you impacted my teen years and late adult hood. I remember the old chat you guys had on your website way back in the day. I remember actually talking to Masako and him giving his take on season 1 goku (this was before the season 1 finale) and he told me it would only get better and dumber. I’ve been following you guys since day 1 when I was a freshman in hischool of 2008 and am still eating the content like a snicker bar
Neko and Kirito's abridged VA scare me. They both seem like editors that would kill themselves with their craft because they're such perfectionists they'd neglect their health in the process
@@atomic_luck447 about Kaiser, that is merely a hunch I have. On Izzy, I know that for a fact, as the SWE crew have gone on record on multiple streams that they've had to actively check on Izzy so that he doesn't overly fixate on making the episodes as perfectly as possible, with Izzy admitting to it
You don't need to apologize for stopping, it is literally why we are here :D If we just wanted to watch the scenes we would just watch the original uploads.
I still think my favorite joke in abridged is when dende sees Shenlong for the first time and he says “THATS your dragon? Our dragon would wear your dragon like a scarf.”
Ok I've wanted to say this since the series started but both Lani and Kaiser have AMAZING smiles. Anyways I'm also glad ya'll also enjoy Dragon Soul :)
I still remember when Kaiser used to do those episode breakdowns way back in the day. I knew so many pauses were coming up from him because of those. Love it guys, keep em coming!
I found myself remembering almost every line in Kai 2. I’d watch it after school so many times, just to get a much needed laugh. Kai 2 is probably my most watched video on UA-cam. Now as an adult I quote it all the time. I’ve even gotten my friends too quote lines with me. TFS really hit it out of the park with the whole series. The Kai episodes are consistently randomly popping into my head throughout the day. “ALL OF THEM!?”. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to watch them all again for the 300th time. Also King Kai’s lines at 5:56 are my favorite line from the first Kai episode. I had completely forgotten about it until this video.
There I am playing Borderlands 3 DLC - Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck... when all of a sudden I hear Nick and Scott as The Caretaker and Officer Ted. Can't relate how happy it made me to hear you both in game.

@@ChristieWryte This has not even been out for a day yet, give it some time.
That Taka story with the 18yo fan had me rolling omfg
25:05 Kaiser looking at Lani like "It's not funny! It's never been funny! It's never gonna be funny!"
He’s looking at him like “I will end you in the blink of an eye” 😂😂😂😂
At 25:08 you can see both of them actively rethinking their entire friendship.
That look Kaiser gives Lani over the Sonic remark...
Nick, you are so lucky that Scott does not have heat vision.
*Holds up bowl of popcorn* How'd I get this popcorn? And why is it starting to burn?!
If looks could kill, Kaiser wouldve wiped Lani's entire bloodline
Honestly in my head that interaction is how I picture like 90% of their relationship is.
@@TheMuldoonFella Damn, even Kenesaw Mountain Landis?
And look and Lani, it's not slip of tongue. He knew what he's doing, he's willing to take the risk to take that shot. hahahaha.
I miss Chris Ayres so much. The guy seemed so sweet. I never got to meet him but never heard anyone say a bad word
Taka had a really heartwarming story about him during his stream. When Taka was in a very low point in his life, Chris reached out to him unprompted and gave him a really heartfelt message helping him pull through it
“Yamcha’s here! *boom* Yamcha’s dead!” is easily one of the best jokes, lines, gags, whatever, in the entire series.
13:02 That 18/19 year old:
"I am hilarious, and you will quote everything I say!"
fun fact for "Cooler's revenge", in the german localization it was called "revenge for Freezer" which makes so much more sense. the rare gold the german localizers struck back then
Not to be that guy, but was Cooler really trying to avenge Freeza?
@@Alucard-A-La-CarteNot Freiza specifically, but he was trying to get revenge on Goku for tarnishing his family name.
@@amirgarcia547 That makes a lot of sense
Well that's better than the dutch one ... Like why is it called "super rivals".
i mean i always thought that was obvious even as a kid when i saw the first cooler movie. its coolers revenge for what goku did to Freeza.
I want to a Kai of the abridged Kai. Just 10 seconds of various characters screaming followed by Cell exploding.
- those Convention stories give me life, big shoutouts to that lady & Rest in Peace Chris Ayes
- I'm still on the camp that Hyping up Yamcha was the funnier option for the main Abridged
- thing is, if they have had the Fake Nameks be woven into the main treasure hunt then Bulma would actually been useful as she was the one leading the crew until that point
- RIP Adobe Flash, i miss the versatility & content, can't say I'm sad i no longer see that crash screen
- LMAO Kaiser going from pride to death glare
- 32:45 Taka's career in one Taka quote
25:00
I just love that he's completely frozen, the look of Death and bewilderment on Kaisers face is pure and amazing, like a deer I the headlights that wants to kill the cars
2:09 That cross-fade to Lani's face during Kaiser's rant about letter spacing killed me
Also just to add on Kaiser's line "AND THAT ONE'S STILL GREEN!!"
I knew that Parunga said something in reverse in this episode, but I never knew how to play it in reverse. I have been waiting 9 years for this reveal. Worth it.
32:00 "Good thing you aim as bad as you fight. You missed my vital organs"
'ALL OF THEM?!'
Honestly, I think the whole Adobe Flash Plugin crashing joke works even better now, cause it means that his scream of rage was so great he destroyed Flash in its entirety.
"... wait am I immortal?"
"I don't know, LET'S SEE!"
one of my favorite bits
“Ohoho he’s pissed”
Lo-key a hard line
“YOU DIDNT ASK” Poor Tyler, getting straight roasted for wanting a coffee 😂🎉
I can imagine Nick singing "Time Warp" using Vegeta's voice or "Sweet Transvestite" with his vocal chops. I heard Ryo Horikawa (original Japanese VA for Vegeta) sing Cha-la Head-cha-la (DBZ theme) live. It was surreal.
Goku's ship annihilating the Ginyu force might be my favorite joke you all have ever done. There's obviously tough competition, but the superficial gag, combined with it being a allegory for how easily Goku just wiped the floor with the Ginyu force in the actual series, alongside the visual execution of the joke, Krillin's line delivery, etc, all comes together into a top tier gag that cracks me up every time.
To be fair, Vegeta technically killed four of them.
For me it's the "shoryuken" Vegeta does vs semi perfect cell
Scott was ready to laser-eye Lani when he brought up Sonic at the end.
I think my favorite thing about the Yamcha trope is that they went so far as to incorporate it into the baseball episode of Super. The sport besides martial arts he's most familiar with, and he still gets wrecked. Though, to be fair, everyone was trying to use their powers to outplay one another. But it's still hilarious to see Yamcha in the same exact position, but on a baseball field.
It's kind of fair because Yamcha uses his powers to play against regular people he outclasses just as much
@@alexanderlane6115yes but he’s at least probably not injuring them
Chris Ayres was such a legend! Mad respect for him. I wish I had the pleasure of meting him in person. R.I.P. Legend.
24:56 Scott's frozen face here is just perfect
Kaiser talking about all of Kai-ser's edits in Kai is Kainda wonderful
Yeah, I'm gonna ask you to put a Kai-bosh on the word play
Me: 🗿
Lani doing a Tim curry with the rocky horror picture show for that panel is amazing
Imagine having the balls and courage to do that
I absolutely adore all of the pauses Kaiser keeps making to note the editing, the visual gags, all of the jokes that can easily be catch it or miss it. He shouldn't be sorry because it's beautiful flavor in the commentary!
Agreed, and better than Masako just saying stuff while the video was playing.
@@madrabbit695Pfft don’t hate
Abridgimon commentary dropping on april 1st would be very on-point.
I think it should now be a tradition that whenever introducing yourself to Team Four Star you must start by stating your age.
25:19 Imagine if Lani was straight up gone for the rest of the video.
The fact you did a Frankenfurter impression makes me so happy. My dad LOVES that movie. He admits to seeing it over 50 times. They would play it often at local theaters and they had traditions of doing things for certain lines like throwing toilet paper when they said "Great Scott!"
Great Scott could be a localized name for KaiserNeko.
@@FloridaGuy53 True.
Taka watching them talk about the girl story: "This is why I own a bar now. *drinks*
I wonder what happened to that girl. 😂😂 So hilarious how she was there when Lani told the story and then confirmed she was 19 now! (At that time) Totally hilarious, and I wish I had been there to see that. 😂😂
Except he drinks a Shirley Temple. Our boy’s a Sober Saiyan.
He owns a bar now!?
@@trevinodude listen she went for it considering the late teens early 20s cringe but she was brave and went for it more respect
@@tacticool_weeb8450 his vtuber avatar owns a bar. I don’t think taka owns a bar in real life
"Love and Laughter Always"
RIP Chris
For those curious about the issue mentioned at 24:39, it’s IDW Sonic issue 41.
Thanks
I remember taking the bit of Parunga and recording it with a Nintendo DS so I could play it backwards and find out what he said. Set me rolling on the floor when I first heard it.
27:50
If we wanted to watch the episode without pausing, we'd watch the actual video.
GIVE US THE DEATS!
Ah man. Listening to this made me wonder about the potential of Bulma on Namak. Maybe getting kidnapped and almost killed, but then dropping that she could make a dragon radar which now Frieza need after the scouters got blasted. So she’s pretending to make that while also sabotaging the ship, could possibly find Vegeta in the healing pod, gets him out and they both start wrecking Frieda’s ship before he steals the dragon balls.
That would've been amazing, and a better place for Bulma and Vegeta to start off on.
But then who's gonna fight all those giant ocean crabs? Clearly those are the true Avengers level threat in this situation.
There used to be a really cool flash game for DBZ. You trained Goku, Vegeta, and Trunks in 5 areas. Once they were trained in every area, they became Super Saiyans. They fought the Ginyu Force in five different locations on Namek, then Frieza. That's the one flash game I miss.
Dragon Ball Z Mission To Namek is the one you're referring too. I played the shit outta it as a kid. The game is on archive.org but you still need to find a working flash player, or you can download it as a part of a flash preservation program called Flashpoint if you want a more all-in-one solution. Bonus: You can also find Dragon Ball Tournament, which if you were playing Mission to Namek back on the old Cartoon Network site is likely just as nostalgic of a game once you see and remember it. Enjoy!
I saw Taka’s video about talking to Chris about Kai.
“Way to be four years late to that party!”
“I am hilarious and you will quote everything I say.”
-Nappa
P.S. I hope they still do the “X in minutes” series
I love that clip where Taka takes Sabat to task for Kai being an abridgement of DBZ, years after you guys started DBZA.
27:16 Gotta love how they both go "Sup" at the same time. Makes it so much better since I do it too lmao
I know it doesn’t exist probably, BUT I NEED A VIDEO OF THAT TAKA PANEL NOW 😂😂😂😂
WE’RE BACK!!!! LETS GOOOOOOOOO I genuinely love this series and seeing you guys cover how you came up with stuff in the series
I second that lol
Third'd
I want her to comment that she is X age now and have it pinned just for the meme. Its adorable and takas reaction just made it amazing.
I don’t think you guys understand how much you impacted my teen years and late adult hood. I remember the old chat you guys had on your website way back in the day. I remember actually talking to Masako and him giving his take on season 1 goku (this was before the season 1 finale) and he told me it would only get better and dumber. I’ve been following you guys since day 1 when I was a freshman in hischool of 2008 and am still eating the content like a snicker bar
21:07
Rage Gohan: You need an adult.
Cell: I... I am an adult?
no, you are 6 (i meant cell btw)
Neko and Kirito's abridged VA scare me. They both seem like editors that would kill themselves with their craft because they're such perfectionists they'd neglect their health in the process
Oh it's been said that both of them have before, and that izzy would love to see what he could do pushed to the near brink of death
@@atomic_luck447 about Kaiser, that is merely a hunch I have.
On Izzy, I know that for a fact, as the SWE crew have gone on record on multiple streams that they've had to actively check on Izzy so that he doesn't overly fixate on making the episodes as perfectly as possible, with Izzy admitting to it
@@floricel_112 weirdly in character
Was honestly expecting either Nick or Kaiser to slip in a "And that one's still green!" After Scott said "it bothers me, it bothers me alot"
14:19 I cannot express how UNCOMFORTABLE I felt the first time I heard that line 😫 🤣
As a huge Sonic and TFS fan I was super excited to see Kai Abridged referenced in the IDW book too
Wait it was?
You don't need to apologize for stopping, it is literally why we are here :D If we just wanted to watch the scenes we would just watch the original uploads.
TFS stands for Time For Scott.
Welcome back! Hope y’all enjoyed your break/holidays
i didnt
31:03 "And I'm here to-" is one if my all time favorite moments
I still think my favorite joke in abridged is when dende sees Shenlong for the first time and he says “THATS your dragon? Our dragon would wear your dragon like a scarf.”
Lani: You ordered a second cup?
Kaiser: *Death Glare*
Ok I've wanted to say this since the series started but both Lani and Kaiser have AMAZING smiles. Anyways I'm also glad ya'll also enjoy Dragon Soul :)
😳
You're 18, right?
You better be 18
I still remember when Kaiser used to do those episode breakdowns way back in the day. I knew so many pauses were coming up from him because of those. Love it guys, keep em coming!
I found myself remembering almost every line in Kai 2. I’d watch it after school so many times, just to get a much needed laugh. Kai 2 is probably my most watched video on UA-cam. Now as an adult I quote it all the time. I’ve even gotten my friends too quote lines with me. TFS really hit it out of the park with the whole series. The Kai episodes are consistently randomly popping into my head throughout the day. “ALL OF THEM!?”. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to watch them all again for the 300th time.
Also King Kai’s lines at 5:56 are my favorite line from the first Kai episode. I had completely forgotten about it until this video.
Pause all you want. The commentary and back stories are what we're here for. Also, omg yes do digibridged!
The dead silence between you two just absolutely killed me.
There I am playing Borderlands 3 DLC - Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fustercluck... when all of a sudden I hear Nick and Scott as The Caretaker and Officer Ted. Can't relate how happy it made me to hear you both in game.
25:08 This is by far one of the funniest human interactions I've ever seen
OH MY GOD, Scott - I could FEEL the death rays from that look regarding the cup of coffee. I genuinely broke out into hysterical laughter!!
