Getting Goku back probably got her to calm down.* AccidentalMisnaming:** Freeza has corrected people who mispronounced his name on two occasions: such as Goku calling him Freezer and Trunks mispronouncing it "fry-za" (Since he was using the "Frieza" spelling, lampshaded when he asks why there's an "I" in it.)*** [[DubNameChange Freeza's name was Freezer in the Japanese version, which was changed to Frieza in the English version]].** Gero apparently didn't pay attention to many of Goku's allies, and once mistook Krillin for Tien.** In Revenge of Cooler, the reason Krillin sends Gohan to get senzu beans from Korin is 'cause last time he went there, he kept calling him [[MythologyGag Whiskers the Wonder Cat]].** Freeza and Zarbon call Qui "[[DubNameChange Kiwi]]" a couple of times.** Goku keeps mistaking Cooler for Freeza.** Goku keeps getting "Hyperbolic Time Chamber" wrong.%%* AbsentParents: Goku's familial neglect is exaggerated to the point where he, Gohan and Piccolo all accept that Piccolo is now %%basically Gohan's father figure. It is of course played for comedy%%-->'''Gohan:''' (thinking) What would dad do?\\%%'''Imaginary Goku:''' Bye son!\\%%'''Gohan:''' I'm beginning to think I have issues.%%** Apparently it runs in the family as Bardock paid no attention to Raditz when he was growing up, and only visits a newly born Goku when it's pointed out how Raditz being a wimp might be because of that. He also forgets he has kids until Dodoria points it out to him%%-->'''Bardock:''' I have one of those (a son). OH CRAP! I have two of those!* AchievementsInIgnorance: ** Goku, as he's dying, manages to give a FinalSpeech, even though...--> '''Krillin:''' Goku, you can't die! Here! I brought a senzu bean!\\'''Goku:''' I don't think that's gonna work.\\'''Krillin:''' Why not?\\'''Goku:''' I sort of have a hole in my esophagus.\\'''Krillin:''' Wait, then how are you breathing?\\'''Goku:''' *dies*** [[invoked]]Goku is able to obtain a muffin on his spaceship because he erroneously believes there's a muffin button.[[note]]In the second TFS Podcast, [[WordOfGod Kaiserneko confirmed]] a fan theory he found that [[AscendedFanon he believed explained it perfectly]]: the ship is Goku's original ship from when he landed on Earth, which used Freeza's technology. A muffin button existed on the ship before Dr. Briefs took a crack at it, because Freeza's ships have the technology to synthesize their own food.[[/note]]--> '''Dr. Briefs:''' ...Where did you get that muffin?\\'''Goku:''' Muffin button.\\'''Dr. Briefs:''' But I never installed a muffin button!\\'''Goku:''' Then where did I get this muffin...?%% I don't know how to override the indent formatting.** The mysterious muffin button also enables mind reading, somehow.** Also, the muffin button [[spoiler:on Freeza's ship saves Goku from Namek's explosion]].** Gero somehow put his brain into his android body. Not even ''he'' knows how did that.[[note]]Canonically, he had Android 19 do it.[[/note]]* ActionCommand: A [[Franchise/MassEffect Renegade Interrupt prompt]] appears onscreen just before Vegeta kills Recoome and Burter.* ActuallyPrettyFunny: Subverted. Freeza makes a DoubleEntendre pun while dishing out a NoHoldsBarredBeatdown on Nail. Nail begins to chuckle, and Freeza thinks that ActuallyPrettyFunny is in effect. Then Nail reveals that he's actually laughing because he suckered Freeza into spending an hour flying nowhere special and then beating up a hopelessly outclassed opponent while Dende was heading back to Krillin and Gohan to help them use the dragonballs. Freeza quickly stops laughing.** Later played darkly straight in Episode 30:--->'''Freeza:''' Come on now, give me something funny.\\'''Goku:''' [[spoiler: You... killed my best friend!]]\\'''Freeza:''' Ha! That is pretty funny. Hilarious, actually.* AdaptationDistillation: They managed to summarize the Saiyan Saga in the space of 12 episodes of approximately 10 minutes each. Then they [[UpToEleven one-upped themselves]] and [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uo5Rhn8zuPA compressed those 120-odd minutes into 130 seconds.]]** The half-hour finale to season 2 was in itself 12 episodes of the show compressed. According to Lani, this was for the better because some of the episodes they included dragged at an unbelievable pace. They cut the events of one out entirely because of how much it slows the plot down (when Gohan goes back and tries to fight Freeza).** [[spoiler: The Garlic Jr. Saga is compressed into one episode, thanks to Mr. Popo. Most of said episode deals with events utterly peripheral to the Garlic Jr. Saga, so you could argue that they compress it into about ''75 seconds.'']]* AdaptationExpansion: Surprisingly, Kami's reluctance to fuse with Piccolo is given a great deal more development than in the original, and Kami's reservations are ''very'' sympathetic.* AdaptationInducedPlotHole: Rather than the DeathByDespair induced by his people dying, Abridged Guru dies because of an unrelated heart attack (he explicitly states he doesn't care about any of the other Namekians dying). In spite of this, Guru is still revived by the wish to bring everyone Freeza or his men killed. This could be explained as his heart spontaneously restarting, which is what lines like "actually dying this time" seem to indicate.** Goku's fight with Freeza takes a sudden and unexplained shift from them being evenly matched to Freeza effortlessly trouncing him due to Freeza powering up being skipped, the footage from Freeza powering up instead changing to Freeza being struck by lightning from God, and it does nothing to him.*** Going from the pinball gag where Freeza enters his high score, it seems that he's already at half power, as the other scores match up with the characters' power levels at that point. Though it does open a new plot hole concerning why nobody mentioned their opponent suddenly getting several times more powerful.** In the source material, Present Trunks (but not Future Trunks) could easily become a Super Saiyan at a young age because he was conceived ''after'' Vegeta became a Super Saiyan. However, in this series, Vegeta gets Bulma pregnant ''before'' he becomes a Super Saiyan.** In the second episode, Goku calls Raditz by name, even though Raditz never shared his name when he introduced himself here.* AdaptationalVillainy: Guru in the original was AFatherToHisMen and was very TooGoodForThisSinfulEarth. Here, he's a JerkWithAHeartOfJerk who's arguably a worse monster than Freeza [[spoiler: especially how he ordered his people to kill their Albino brethren in order to hide the fact he drank the water supply.]]** Do we even want to go into how Popo's scarier than the original?--> '''Popo:''' '''Hi.'''** The BadFuture versions of Android 17 and 18 were already some of the darkest villains in the original anime, but here they go even further, rivaling ''Freeza'' in terms of horrifying evil.* AdaptationPersonalityChange: Popo goes from a genial nice guy to the most terrifying thing in the universe. Guru goes from a wise and benevolent leader to a genocidal CloudcuckooLander.* ADeathInTheLimelight: A sort of common pattern in the Namek Arc; whenever a character is going to die in the episode, they read the disclaimer. Otherwise, it's a character that gets the focus (usually Vegeta). Made [[LampshadeHanging painfully obvious]] in episode 29.-->[[spoiler:'''Krillin''']]: "The following is a non-profit, fan-based parody. ''Manga/DragonBall'', ''Anime/DragonBallZ'' and ''Anime/DragonBallGT'' are all owned by Creator/FUNimation, ToeiAnimation, Fuji Tv and Creator/AkiraToriyama. Please support the official release." Phew. Alright, how was that?\\'''Voice Director:''' That was perfect [[spoiler: Krillin]]. Eh... don't worry about your check. We'll send it to your next of kin.\\[[spoiler:'''Krillin''']]: ...what?** Also common afterwards if there is a death; Freeza and King Cold both read the disclaimer for episode 33.** Later Yamcha:--->'''Yamcha''': The following is a--oh wait, ah, I-I did this last time, didn't I? What-what's going on? [...] I have a bad feeling about this...* ADateWithRosiePalms:** In Episode 12, Krillin has to go a month with Bulma walking around in her underwear and no "alone time" because the toilet keeps yelling at him. He is finally able to relieve that tension in Episode 13.--->'''Bulma:''' It's everywhere!** In the beginning of Episode 20, Burter, Jeice, and Recoome briefly talk about the last time they felt the urge.** In Episode 22, Ginyu makes it into a BrickJoke.* AffectionateParody: Naturally.* AffablyEvil:** Nappa:--->'''Nappa:''' (looking at Tenshinhan getting pissed that Nappa just killed his friends) Oh Vegeta, I think I made him mad. Should I talk to him about it? The first step to solving your problems is healthy communication. (Tenshinhan tries to punch him) That was very rude. I was talking to VEGETA! (beats the crap out of Tenshinhan)** The Ginyu Force, with a special mention to the extremely polite Captain Ginyu.* AGoodNameForARockBand: From Episode 21: Seizure Procedure* AGodAmI: Kami in the Garlic Jr. (Aborted) Arc.-->'''Kami:''' Oh my ME!** Then there is this exchange between King Kai and Kami:--->'''King Kai:''' Are you questioning God?\\'''Kami:''' Are YOU?** And, not to be outdone, [[JerkAss Guru]] does this upon hearing that Kami is referring to himself as God.--->'''Guru:''' I shall henceforth be known as Super Kami. No wait... Super Kami Guru.** It's subtle, but in Revenge of Cooler, he gives this line:--->'''Piccolo''': Oh yeah? Who's he?\\'''Cooler''': That's "He" with a capital "H", by the way.** Later on it becomes apparent that Vegeta's ego has swollen to gargantuan size when he learns that Piccolo has fused with Kami:-->'''Vegeta:''' The f***'s a Kami?\\'''Krillin:''' Basically, God.\\'''Vegeta:''' BUT I'M STILL HERE!\\'''Trunks:''' Do you really believe your own hype that much?\\'''Vegeta:''' '''I ''AM'' THE HYPE!'''** From episode 46-->'''Android 16:''' ''(regarding Piccolo)'' He has fused with Kami!\\'''Android 17:''' Kami? Seriously, what the hell's a Kami?\\'''Piccolo:''' It means God. ''[[BadAss Now bow.]]''* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: King Kai tries to telepathically link with Mr Popo. [[YourHeadAsplode Bad move]].* AlasPoorVillain: Defied. It seems like Vegeta might incur this in episode 28, but quickly admits he'd still be evil even if Freeza had not enslaved his race.-->'''Vegeta:''' (to Goku) If this situation were reversed, this conversation would never have happened. You'd be dead, and I'd be laughing. Ahaha-ah, it hurts to laugh.* AliensMadeThemDoIt: Inverted with Nappa and the Arlians, as he has the king and queen mate because he's curious about the mating ritual.* AliensSpeakingEnglish: --> '''Nail''': : English.* AliensStealCable: Apparently they don't even need to.-->'''Vegeta:''' (to Gohan) Oh well, if it isn't [[Film/TheThreeStooges Moe Howard.]]\\'''Gohan:''' How do you even--\\'''Vegata:''' Space {{Creator/Hulu}}.\\'''Gohan:''' Figures.* AllJustADream:** The events of episode 12. [[OrWasItADream Well, maybe.]]** And in episode 19, Vegeta's, ahem, ''[[BlackComedyRape encounter]]'' with Bulma...** And Episode of Bardock. Well, at least the FramingDevice is.** Goku's [[{{Naruto}} Ninja Dream]] and [[OnePiece Pirate Dream]].** The ''Dead Zone Abridged'' remake turns out to be Krillin pitching a movie to Nappa.* AllThereInTheManual: The official Saiyan Handbook, brought out whenever the concept of Saiyans getting stronger after injuries has to be explained.-->'''Jeice:''' Let's see, full moon, lose your tail, stronger every time you... oh. Well, I'm right f**ked, aren't I?* AllUpToYou:-->'''Krillin:''' (taking Spirit Bomb) Holy crap, so ''this'' is what being important feels like!** A dying Vegeta to Goku: --> '''Vegeta''': You... are the last remaining Saiyan. {{beat}} Oh God, you're the last remaining Saiyan. *dies** AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: InUniverse, just as in many other abridged series.** Goku's origins of suffering brain damage as an infant and growing up removed from society are taken UpToEleven here, as is the tendency in Dragonball for former enemies turning into fellow protagonists. Despite this, Goku's shown hints that at least ''some'' of it is just ObfuscatingStupidity,[[note]]Like when he pays Piccolo back for letting him tank Raditz alone while charging an attack; when, after watching Krillin die and becoming enraged enough to achieve Super Saiyan, he orders Gohan to evacuate the planet immediately and shuts him down when Gohan questions the apparent intelligence increase; or when he admits to Popo that he's "maybe" deliberately mispronouncing the Hyperbolic Time Chamber[[/note]] even going so far as to prove ''smarter'' than his canon self on a few occasions. [[note]]Such as when he falls into Hell and tricks the guardians into telling him how to escape right away, avoiding having to do their tasks. Or when he returns to Earth after being revived and the ''first'' thing he does is to ask for Popo's instant-transportation carpet. In vain, but still.[[/note]]** Vegeta's moral compass has been made a little more consistent; in the original anime, he goes from ruthless mass murderer to reluctant restrained ally in a quick hurry, and also shrugs off Piccolo's death without really caring despite the fact that it means he loses his chance at immortality. In this version, he only blows up Arlia after the various residents (and Nappa) provoke him into a rage, completely snaps when he finds out what Piccolo's death means, and Nappa's death is rewritten as one of the most understandable killings in the series. He's also far more hostile towards the Z Warriors even after allying with them.** While most of the characters are just [[CharacterExaggeration exaggerated]] versions of their normal selves, Mr. Popo has been turned into the most terrifying and/or [[HeroicComedicSociopath freaking awesome]] creature in existence.** Nappa as a PsychopathicManchild.** Lord Guru is a senile, bloodthirsty despot. It gets even better with an alternate interpretation of Abridged Guru, after he gives Nail a [[spoiler:false]] RousingSpeech. He knew Nail was going to die. Why not give him some hope of coming out of it alive?** Toolo (that surviving Kanassian Alien from from ''Bardock: The Father of Goku''), who is oblivious to the fact his people are destroyed, probably because he couldn't tell the difference between his visions and the present moment anymore.--->"I CAN SEE THE FUUUUTURE!!!"** Freeza gives us one that explains a little too much: The Namekians are [[DeepSouth space rednecks]].** Guldo trying to be nice to Vegeta in the past is quite the opposite of their encounter in the source material.** In the main series, Ginyu cares very little about his men and even plans to replace them with Freeza's mooks before even finding out if they've succeeded in their mission or not. Here, he's undoubtedly loyal to Freeza and while firm with discipline, he and the rest of the force have a mutual respect for each other... [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg except for Guldo]].** Jeice's voice actor in the Creator/FUNimation[=/=]Saban dub (using Ocean Studios) gave Jeice something of a Liverpudlian accent. Chris Sabat at Creator/FUNimation took that and turned it into an outrageously exaggerated Aussie twang instead. TFS beats it into the ground and pisses on it for good measure by turning Jeice into a full-on overly-jingoistic Larrikin.--->'''Krillin:''' WE GET IT, YOU'RE FROM SPACE AUSTRALIA!!!** The Androids are somewhat different from the original series; while the androids from Trunks' timeline are even more malicious, the main timeline's 17 and 18 are more playful and impulsive, acting out of sheer boredom; 16 is a fully stereotypical robot which is somehow even more sensitive and vocal than the original.** King Kai is a lot less patient and is willing to kick some Ginyu butt if necessary.* AluminumChristmasTrees: Try searching for YouTube videos of ''TattooedTeenageAlienFightersFromBeverlyHills'' and count the number of comments from people who initially believed that this show made it up.** Yamcha's "Cat Loves Food" song was actually in the Funimation dub, a non-sequitur joke so bizarre that [=TFS=] just took it and ran with it.* AlwaysSomeoneBetter: This has been at play since his introduction, but Episodes 30 and 31 clearly establish that Mr. Popo is the biggest fish in the ''Dragon Ball Z Abridged'' universe.** The ''Revenge Of Cooler'' movie ends with the song "Always Someone Cooler Than You."* AmbiguouslyGay: Zarbon, very much so. At least until [[spoiler: we find out he has a girlfriend.]]--->'''Freeza''': Come again?** PlayedForLaughs with Vegeta, where Vegeta asks if Zarbon did anything to him while he was asleep. Zarbon replies disgusted, which at first Vegeta is happy about, but then a second later he feels annoyed and demands to know why Zarbon was disgusted. Zarbon then says "This conversation is beginning to sound REALLY gay... not that there's anything wrong with being gay."** [[spoiler: Freeza is fairly certain that Zarbon's girlfriend is actually named "Chuck".]]* AmbiguousSyntax: When Trunks and Krillin, and Tien and Piccolo pair off, they each mention they are going after Cell lacking the modifier of which Cell they are aiming for. It leads them to repeating nearly the same line each time.* AmusingInjuries: ''All over the place''.-->'''Goku:''' '''AUGH''', spine! ''AUGH, RIBS!'' Definitely ribs!** Whenever Goku is being crushed in a giant villain's hands, he squeaks like a squeaky dog toy. It is amazing.--->"Why does everyone laugh when they do that? That's my ribs crushing my lungs!"** This also applies to when Freeza grabs Goku from behind, eliciting a single squeak and an exclamation of, "Bad touch!" before Goku then pummels Freeza in a spoof of when Freeza was tenderizing Vegeta's kidney.** And of course, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2YkEDGD_sDs&hd=1&t=9m33s most amusing injury]] of the entire series.*** Except possibly: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j3ZmHV-Dqo8**** Trumped by what is perhaps [[http://youtu.be/C8yC02d7UZY?t=9m32s the greatest nutshot in history]].* AnAssKickingChristmas: The ''Christmas Tree of Might''.** The ''Lord Slug Abridged'' movie parodies this. Goku, IdiotHero that he is, thinks it's Christmas because it's snowing, but it's actually July. [[MotivationalLie King Kai tries to use this to his advantage by making Goku believe he's the savior of Christmas]], and it works until Lord Slug tells Goku that it's snowing because Lord Slug froze the planet himself.* AndCallHimGeorge: Nappa and [[StarWars the Rancor]].* {{Angrish}}: Nappa drives Vegeta into a truckload of this.** During his fight with Vegeta, Goku took Nappa's place.** In Episode 18, Vegeta is driven to a very immense rage. His scream is so loud, it covers the planet, reaches into space, breaches the barrier between life and death, and travels through time so Future Trunks can hear it. He then goes into a minute-long incoherent "conversation" with Krillin.---> '''Vegeta:''' I am here for it... Dragonball... I need that Dragonball... Give it to me... One you took... Need my wish... SHUT UP GHOST OF NAPPA! I'M NOT CRAZY! YOU'RE CRAZY! ESPECIALLY YOU, NAPPA! Now, Dragonball. Hand now please.* AnguishedDeclarationOfLove: [[spoiler:Dende to Gohan.]]* AnimationBump[=/=]ArtEvolution: Starting with the Android Saga, a '''''lot''''' more edits to the original footage were made. Including, but not limited to, adding eye movements; changing scenes due to altered continuity; the addition and[=/=]or removal of characters (or poses) to scenes, and even fixing errors that were present ''in the original footage''.* AnswersToTheNameOfGod:** Kami to King Kai and King Kai to Kami since they are both kamis.** Kami, to Goku, in "Dead Zone Abridged". Since Kami is literally the God of Earth, it's not blasphemous:---> '''Kami:''' Listen, Goku. Just go after your son. I'll handle Garlic Jr.\\'''Goku:''' Thank God.\\'''Kami:''' You're welcome.* {{Anticlimax}}: The ending of episode 31, intentionally.* AntiHumor: The "It's Over 9000" meme is intentionally and noticeably avoided.** That is, until the Abridged version of the Abridged version. Vegeta screams the meme, and then has a brief shouting match with Nappa before killing him.* ApatheticCitizens: In "History of Trunks" it has been thirteen long years of the Androis[=/=]Cyborgs killing cities and towns across the world. No one is tring to develop technology to stop them in any form. People continue with their everyday lives like nothing is wrong and only panic when they attack the city they are currently in. One guy who runs a roller coaster at an amusement park ''doesn't even recognize them when they jump in line to the front car''.* AppealToObscurity** In an earlier episode:---> '''Vegeta:''' Now to crush you like an Arlian.\\'''Goku:''' A what?\\'''Vegeta:''' Exactly.** And in Episode 24:---> '''Freeza:''' Tell me. Have you ever heard of planet Vegeta?\\'''Nail:''' N-no?\\'''Freeza:''' Funny. Because that's exactly what I expect the ''next'' person will say when I ask them about Namek!* ArcFatigue: Lampshaded InUniverse in Episode 24, where Krillin randomly is surprised at the fact that they're ''still'' on Namek. He also gives the fourth wall a nudge by noting that it feels like it's been a year since they got there, which is how long it's taken to do Episodes 13-24. (For the curious, the events in those episodes take place over six days.)* ArentYouGoingToRavishMe:-->'''Vegeta:''' That...reminds me. [[CallBack Did you do anything to me while I was unconscious?]]\\'''Zarbon:''' ''(affronted)'': Did-- Did I what?\\'''Vegeta:''' Did you do anything to me while I was unconscious?\\'''Zarbon:''' What? No! ''God'', no!\\'''Vegeta:''' Oh, thank God! I j-- wait, what do you mean by that? Am I not good enough for you?** Bulma's nightmare about Vegeta seems to be setting this up.* AreWeThereYet: Nappa to Vegeta during their flight to Earth. Their ''year-long'' flight.* ArmorPiercingSlap: Whenever he pisses her off sufficiently, Bulma will slap Krillin. He will always feel pain, even though at his strength he shouldn't be able to feel it at all.* ArmorPiercingQuestion: When 17 and 18 see Gero turned himself into an android they ask him how he did it. He says he took out his brain and put it in the machine body. When asked how he did 'that', Gero is rendered speechless and wonders himself.* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: King Yemma describing his desk:-->'''King Yemma:''' And not just ''any'' mahogany! But mahogany from the planet Malchior 7! Where the trees are 300 feet tall and '''BREATHE FIRE!''' From these trees this desk was forged 2000 years ago using '''ANCIENT BLOOD RITUALS OF THE MALCHIOR PEOPLE!''' Not only does this make my desk '''NIGH INDESTRUCTIBLE,''' but it can '''BEND THE FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE ITSELF!''' [{{beat}}] ...Also it's a very fine material. Very expensive.\\'''Kami''': O...kay.%%* ArtisticLicensePhysics: When Goku throws Chi-Chi into space, she shouldn't be burning up. Objects burn up entering the atmosphere.* AskAStupidQuestion: Freeza to a Namekian elder in Episode 14.-->'''Elder:''' What do you want from us? Why are you slaughtering our people?\\'''Freeza:''' Well you see, I was just in the area and I thought this would be a delightful place for a summer home what the *BEEP* do you think I'm here for?\\'''Elder:''' ...Our trees?\\'''Freeza:''' ...Zarbon, two or three more.* ATeamFiring / ImperialStormtrooperMarksmanshipAcademy: "Damn man, you couldn't hit the broad side of a space-barn!"** Averted in episode 46 during Piccolo and Android 17's fight.-->'''Android 17:''' Um, I stopped dodging. Seriously, are you even ''trying'' to hit me?\\'''Piccolo:''' No!\\'''Android 17:''' The hell do you mean, "no"?!\\'''Android 17:''' ''(notices the energy balls floating around him)''\\'''Android 17:''' ... Oh. ''Ohhh''. [[OhCrap Oh shit.]]\\'''Piccolo:''' Hellzone Grenade!\\'''Android 17:''' Oh man, it's even got a cool name...* AtomicFBomb: Vegeta is rather prone to it. He once hurt Piccolo's ears when Piccolo was on the other side of the planet at the time, though Piccolo does have super-hearing.* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: Goku, Nappa, and Guru do this a lot.* AuthorityEqualsAsskicking: A simultaneously humorous and chilling example as Mr. Popo's explains the "pecking order" to the Z-Fighters receiving training: [[TheEveryman You]] - The Dirt - The Worms Inside of the Dirt - Popo's Stool (shown as a black box with the word "Censored" stamped across it) - Kami - Popo. A confirmation is even presented after Mr. Popo knocks Krillin off Kami's Lookout ([[RunningGag increasing his "Owned Count"]]) after asking a question out of turn, despite ''asking if anyone had any''.* AxCrazy:** Chi-Chi's violent outbursts are feared by Krillin.** Also Guru. "Kill it like the rest."[[/folder]][[folder:B]]* BackFromTheDead: Goku, Piccolo, Vegeta, Tien, Yamcha, Chaotzu, Krillin, and all the Namekians, except for the ones from the village Vegeta killed on Namek. Since they wished back the ones killed by Freeza and his men, and Vegeta wasn't one of Freeza's men anymore, those Namekians are still dead.** And in another change from the original series, [[spoiler: Nappa is revealed to be alive in TheStinger of Episode 30 (Part 3), since Vegeta was still working for Freeza at the time he killed Nappa.]]* BaconAddiction: Goku takes his ''very'' seriously. So much that, instead of a heart virus, Future Goku is killed by...-->'''Future Trunks:''' High cholesterol.\\'''Goku:''' From ''what?!''\\'''Future Trunks:''' According to the coroner, too much bacon.\\'''[[DisproportionateRetribution Super Goku]]:''' [[TranquilFury You take that back.]]* BadBoss:** Freeza considers his minions extremely expendable (see WeHaveReserves below), doesn't pay them, and casually kills them off to intimidate his other soldiers and to [[MundaneUtility end awkward conversations]].** There's also Super Kami Guru. Though his worst phase seems to be over, these days he settles for being a CloudCuckooLander {{Jerkass}}.*** It's revealed in Lord Slug Abridged that much like Kami and Piccolo, Guru and Slug split from the same Namekian, and that ''Guru'' is the evil one.* {{Badass}}: [[IdiotHero Go]][[BigEater ku]] manages to be an even bigger one in the Abridged series than in the main continuity, due to his fights being radically cut down in time and his vapid, air headed demeanor making his badassery come across as anywhere from effortless to accidental. * BadassBoast: Played with a lot, given the prevalence in the source material:** Piccolo:---> '''Piccolo:''' Yeah. That's right. I can take anything you can dish ou-''oh God there go my organs.''** Vegeta's is a rather unusual case. He manages to make a BadassBoast to Cui about how he got ''destroyed'' on Earth.** Recoome delivers an absolutely epic one in Episode 20.--->'''Recoome:''' Vegeta! You think that just because you're the Prince of all Saiyans, you're the best there is at what you do, but let Recoome tell ya somethin', [[HulkHogan brother]], you ain't no Wolverine, and you ain't got what it takes to step up to a [[BookerT FIVE-TIME CHAMPION!]] You see, Vegeta, you sit there and brag about how the Saiyans are the mightiest warriors in the universe, how they're the most ruthless, but look where they are now...DEAD! You talk about your legends, your warrior race, and your pride, but that [[DwayneJohnson doesn't mean a damn thing to this man!]] BECAUSE THE NAME'S RECOOME, AND IT RHYMES WITH DOOM, AND YOU'RE GONNA BE HURTIN', ALL TOO SOON!** Freeza derails a Namekian by keeping a running tally of how many times he's heard a particular BadassBoast. The Namekian tries to utter an original phrase, but Freeza has already heard "We're going to fuck your face!" ''twelve'' times. Admittedly, it was less common than "We're here to stop this senseless slaughter of our people" (92), "Now you're going to pay" (355), "We are the ones who will stop you" (419), or even "You insane bastard" (190).*** Later, Goku delivers a boast even Freeza hasn't heard before.---->'''Goku:''' Soooo, are you that Freezer Guy?\\'''Freeza:''' I am '''Lord''' Freeza, yes.\\'''Goku:''' Awesome! Imma deck ya in the shnoz!\\'''Freeza:''' I...I'm sorry. That's a new one!** Subverted again twice in Episode 25, as Vegeta already knew Freeza could transform and cuts him off, while Freeza grows increasingly exasperated with Vegeta's speeches about the Super Saiyan.** Gohan gets one in Episode 26 before taking on Form 3 Freeza.--->'''Gohan:''' Hey Freeza! The human body is composed of 75% water! I am 100% '''DEATH'''! HAVE SOME!** Even Freeza gets one in Episode 28.--->'''Freeza:''' You know what the difference between you and I is? You can punch a board and it will break in half. ''I'' can punch a board and ''wipe out its entire race''.** Super Saiyan Goku gets one in episode 30.---> '''Goku:''' I am the hope of the Omniverse. I am the light bulb in the darkness. I am the bacon in the fridge for all living things that cry out in hunger. I am the Alpha, and the Amiga.[[note]]Not a misspelling; he pronounced it wrong. Unless you're a fan of Classic Series/DoctorWho. This could also be a reference to the Amiga line of computers, produced by Commodore in the 1980's.[[/note]] ''[[WesternAnimation/DarkwingDuck I am the terror that flaps in the night]]''. I am Son Goku! And I am a Super-*smugly takes Freeza's attack to the face unharmed* ...Saiyan.** When presented with the whole "five minutes" thing:---> '''Goku:''' Oh, well, then I'll have to kill you in four.** Future Trunks delivers a good one when Freeza dismisses him as a mere distraction until the Super Saiyan shows up.--->'''Future Trunks''': Oh, well.

It says, "I'm filled with pisswater!", "Shit in my face!", and "No!" The last one is briefly heard before being destroyed.** Apparently, all Namekians are fluent in [[Franchise/StarTrek Klingon.]]*** And the title card at the end of season one was "PLTLH (finished)".** Episode 21's opening theme ends with the standard [[PromotionalConsideration sponsor message]] found in Japanese TV shows.** In Episode 33, Freeza corrects himself, saying he last played "pretty pink princess" at his Quincea�era. This is a Latin American celebration of a girl's transition into womanhood, which is celebrated on her 15th birthday.** In Episode 40, when 16 is scanning Krillin, there is a string of binary code at the bottom beside a picture of Goku with "Terminate" written over it. The binary reads "[[spoiler:KILL SON GOKU.

Forget the bleach, you need a melon baller to scoop out that memory. Every time after that, there is a disturbing image slid into a single frame of the solar flare.* BrattyHalfpint: Chaotzu* BreadEggsBreadedEggs:** Freeza spends the first part of Episode 27 assessing his situation (with all those dead subordinates and all) while effortlessly dodging Vegeta's attacks. When he gets to what to send the Ginyus' families, he considers gift baskets and wine before kicking Vegeta's ki blast back and deciding on gift baskets ''with'' wine.** In ''Episode of Bardock'', Bardock, upon unexpectedly waking up in a normal bed, thinks that Hell should have beds made of spikes, spiders, or spiky spiders ("spikers").** In Episode 31, Maron asks what [[HeterosexualLifePartners Yajirobe's and Korin's]] children would look like: fat men or kitties.

They brought him back for season 2; [[spoiler: his being dead at this point in the original series (and therefore not having any footage of him on Namek) didn't stop them; they just turned him into a ghost.]]* BreakTheHaughty: Both Vegeta and Freeza are subject to this as they each realize over the span of a few episodes that they're fighting an utter moron and losing.* BreakingTheFourthWall: It happens a few times early in the series, but that fades away as the comedy improves.

[[MemeticMutation Imma firin' mah]]--BLAAH!* BrickJoke[=/=]CallBack: Almost every joke that isn't a RunningGag. Noteworthy examples would be the ''whaaaaaaaales'', "What smells like deer," and the narrator's bet with King Kai.** When Gohan asks Krillin if he hears Vegeta's bloodcurdling scream of rage, Krillin replies, "I ''feel'' that." Later, when Gohan asks him if he feels Freeza's energy as he's powering up, Krillin says, "I ''taste'' that."** [[FunWithAcronyms Freaky Alien Genotype]]. Vegeta says this after killing [[MistakenForGay Zarbon]].** Goku mentions Fake Namek when he arrives on real Namek.** Gohan brings up Peach Farming when fighting against Recoome:---> '''Gohan:''' I'm not going to back down. I may be younger than you, smaller than you, weaker than you, and much less experienced, but I know way more about Peach Farming than y-- I think this was a horrible decision.\\'''Recoome''': [[CurbStompBattle Recoome agrees]].** In 2009, Team [=FourStar=] made "Yamcha the Scarfaced Bandit", a parody of "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer". One year later, guess what the minion Yamcha attempts to fight is playing on his scouter?** In the Bardock: Father Of Goku special, Freeza contemplates calling Cooler, but decides against this, citing his reasons as "No, he's a prick." Cooler is later seen in his ship and deems not to fire on Goku's pod. His reasons? "Because I'm a prick." This joke carries on into a later episode when Freeza is wondering what he'll do first once he becomes immortal. He eventually decides that he'll "slap Cooler right in his smug, prick face!" And on his Space Twitter profile, the message below his boast about blowing up Planet Vegeta says "@Cooler- You're a prick".** When Krillin and Gohan hide from Freeza and his men in Episode 14, Krillin makes a quacking noise and Dodoria comments on the majestic sound of the space duck. In Episode 21, Goku hears Krillin screaming in pain due to his beating from Recoome... and thinks it's a duck. In Episode, 25 he tries to fool Freeza into thinking he's a space duck. While right in front of him.*** Then in Episode 40 he tries it on Android 16, and it basically works.** In Episode 16, Guru wants Nail to gather the dragonballs to wish for a plasma screen TV. In Episode 21, he compares Dende's loss of everyone he ever loved to the origin of Franchise/{{Batman}}. When Dende has no idea who that is, "See! This is why we NEED TV!"** After two exclamations of "No! My space !" from Raditz, Piccolo exclaims, "We get it, you're from space!" Much later, after Jeice finishes a sentence chock full of Australian slang, Krillin shouts, "We get it, you're from Space Australia!"** In Episode 11, when Krillin sees Gohan's new hairstyle, he likens Gohan to Moe Howard. Then in Episode 18, Vegeta says the same thing when he meets Gohan mid-flight.** In Episode 21, Jeice gets repeatedly punched by Goku, while trying to remember what Captain Ginyu told them to do in such a situation. When Ginyu is actually present in Episode 22, he calls him out on it.** Episode 24 has so many:*** We found out what happened to the Albino Namekians.*** George Takei strikes again!*** Vegeta's "scream" occurs. Piccolo yells out, "Ow! My ear!"*** This dialogue between Vegeta and Gohan returns from Episode 18, but with different results.** Bulma's panties.** In Episode 25, Piccolo mentions something about Nail adding him on MySpace. This goes back to the contents of ''Episode 1''.** Way back in Episode 7, Gohan asks Piccolo if the fact that he survives mostly on water means he's a plant or a slug, much to Piccolo's annoyance. After he meets Nail in Episode 25, Piccolo finds out that yes, he is in fact a slug man.** Lord Slug Abridged mentions Freeza Day, the misfit minions, and Goku saving Christmas from the Tree of Might special. When Slug goes giant, he crushes Goku and laughs when Goku squeaks, just like when Vegeta did the same as an Oozaru.** Gohan's comment that the mountain [[SinkOrSwimMentor Piccolo was throwing him at]] looked more like a plateau gets repeated by Vegeta, when Freeza is throwing him ''into'' one.** Vegeta's Legendary Super Saiyan Rant;---> '''Freeza:''' I feel like we've been here before, have we been here before?** During the credits to the ''Christmas Tree of Might'', it gets mentioned that one of Piccolo's gifts was a bigger part in the next movie. Sure enough, his role in ''Lord Slug'' was key to the good guys winning and probably the most memorable thing about that movie.** At one point, when Freeza calls Guru a slug, he replies, "Leave my brother out of this!". [[spoiler: We learn that he's the EvilTwin of Lord Slug in the ''Lord Slug'' film.]]** In episode 27, when Freeza is going to attack.---> '''Gohan:''' So that means we should-?\\'''Piccolo:''' DODGE!** Freeza likes to keep count of all sayings and speeches he gets from opponents.

Except... this season... ''you''" to Krillin. In Episode 29, right after Krillin gets killed by Freeza, Popo appears in the stinger, saying, "Called it!"** During Freeza and Super Saiyan Goku's battle in episode 30 part 2, Freeza gets behind Goku and grabs him around the chest and he squeaks like when Vegeta squeezed him when they fought.** When Guru confesses his sins as he's dying in episode 30 part 2, he admits that he [[spoiler:shifted the blame on the Albino Namekians after causing a drought]]. This fulfills two {{Brick Joke}}s at once: [[spoiler:The great drought]] we overheard random Namekians talking about in episode 16 and Guru explains, as Freeza had disgustedly asked in episode 22, ''that's'' how he got so fat.** When escaping the destruction of Namek [[spoiler: Goku gets distracted by an ACTUAL Muffin button.]]** In episode 20, Ginyu told Freeza that he was contractually obligated by his brother Cooler to perform the "Daddy's Little Princess" dance after completing a successful mission. [[spoiler: In TheStinger for episode 30, part 3, King Cold calls Freeza "my Little Princess".]]** In episode 18, Vegeta yells at (a hidden) Gohan, saying, "Show yourself before I turn this place into a barren wasteland. So basically the same only on fire." In episode 30 Part 3, while trying to escape a doomed Namek, Goku says, "Everything looked the same before. Now it all looks the same but on fire!"** In episode 24, Popo claims the plants he is watering are pot. In episode 30, his first line is, "I'M SO F███ING HIGH RIGHT NOW!"** At the start of Episode 29, Krillin reads the usual legal disclaimer, then gets told by an off-screen "producer" not to "worry about your check, we'll send it to your next of kin". (Krillin's reply: "What?!") In Episode 31, Krillin reveals that he really did have next of kin: himself, thanks to a huge life insurance policy he took out on himself before leaving for Namek (which was first mentioned in episode 15).** In a fridge heartwarming variant, Krillin explaining Karma to Dende. Dende asks if, by doing a great act of goodness, he can get his family back. Krillin dismisses it, but come the end of the season, his family gets brought back partially because of his own actions.** Vegeta announces his leaving Earth and his returning to Earth [[ThisIsForEmphasisBitch the same way]].** When Freeza thinks he's finally killed Trunks in Episode 33, the end of his boast ends in "cadaverific."** When Freeza dismisses the Legend of the Super Saiyan as mere nonsense during his fight with Vegeta, who claims he is one, Vegeta replies with "Bitch, you just jealous of my Super Saiyan Swagger". Episode 36, [[spoiler: where Vegeta reveals he's become a Super Saiyan himself, is called "Super Saiyan Swagger".]]** Also from Episode 36, Gero yells at #19 to dodge, it's not that complicated. Piccolo just stares at Gohan. It is hysterical.** Vegeta tosses a dog biscuit at Android 19's disembodied head, the same treatment he gave to Guldo.** In Dead Zone Abridged, Gohan is reading the uncensored version of Huckleberry Finn that he mentioned reading one episode when Chi Chi got him the censored version.** In Episode 38, a reference is made to pre-DBZ ''Dragon Ball'' when Vegeta asks Trunks if marriage is "some kind of food". Naturally, he's just f[[SoundEffectBleep *]]cking with Trunks.*** In episode 32 Krillin mentions that if [[TheChewToy Yamcha wasn't around]] ''he'd'' be the one spazzing out. Come episode 38, Yamcha has been PutOnABus and Krillin is back to being the designated ButtMonkey.** The episode also ends with Vegeta Screaming a PrecisionFStrike [[CurseCutShort Cut Short]] just like in episode 10.** In episode 40, after Vegeta, Trunks, Piccolo, and Tenshinhan are all curbstomped by Androids 17 and 18, Krillin goes to revive them with Senzu Beans, [[CallBack only to wonder where most of them went]].** Piccolo DID keep his Hellzone Grenade attack.** In episode 41, Roshi buys a submarine. Oolong is worried about what the old perv would name it. Indeed, come the events of "The History of Trunks", we find that he named the sub the ''USS M'Dick''.--> '''Roshi''': HOW DOES IT FEEL TO RIDE ''M'DICK''?!** Freeza, thanks to some malfunctioning machine parts, does this in episodes 32 and 33.* BrotherChuck: Lampshaded in Episode 10 when Bulma and the other characters are reminiscing about the times they were useful to the series.-->'''Bulma:''' Whatever happened to Launch?\\''(cut to Launch passed out drunk at the desk of a seedy bar)''* BuffySpeak: "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=dPIJLU1DkiI#t=81s Well it is a little corpsey.]]"* BullyingADragon: In the Android Saga, Tien constantly mocks Vegeta, even though Vegeta could easily kill the triclops. When that's pointed out, Tien says that it's become a game; if Vegeta snaps and kills Tien, then Tien wins. And Vegeta knows it.* BumblingSidekick: Nappa was essentially this to Vegeta.* ButtMonkey:** Krillin (by everyone) to the point of having a special counter whenever he is disrespected (usually someone beats him up, but in Episode 2, Krillin got owned when Master Roshi told him to shut up, and in a Season 2 episode, Krillin owned himself after screwing up a witty one-liner).** If it isn't Krillin, it's normally Yamcha.*** Lampshaded in the second FAQ special where the question "Why do you guys pick on Krillin so much" in answered with "Because Yamcha isn't around as much".---> '''Bulma:''' Nobody screws Yamcha but life.*** After Android 20 put's his fist through his chest:---> '''Goku:''' Yamcha just got Yamcha'd.*** When Porunga is summoned for the first time, King Kai wants to know about what Yamcha thinks about who should be revived first. As soon as he starts to speak, Piccolo promptly cuts him off saying that no one cares about his opinions.*** Also, when Yamcha launches into a panicked rant upon the pending return of [[spoiler: Freeza]], Krillin responds, "You know what? If he wasn't doing it, I would."** Good coverage for both Krillin and Yamcha in Episode 32.--->'''Vegeta:''' Is that the ''beta-male''?[[note]]referring to Yamcha[[/note]]\\'''Bulma:''' No, Krillin just got here.\\'''Vegeta:''' Oh, God! They're breeding!** Raditz (by his teammates) with the constant references to how weak he was. Even to the point that any scouter shown on Namek uses Raditzs as a measuring device.*** Possible subversion, in retrospect. He's always trashtalked, and never when he's around (one GilliganCut aside)...but remember that he spent two episodes [[CurbStompBattle handing Goku and Piccolo their own asses]], [[GroinAttack groin attacked]] King Yemma, and went on a brief rampage through HFIL before vanishing for parts unknown. For a butt monkey, he does pretty well for himself.** Vegeta seems to be suffering a good deal of psychological trauma as well, especially in Season 2.** Nail is one toward Guru.** Guldo to Vegeta, who treats him like a dog, and even to the rest of the Ginyu Force.** Icarus, who gets eaten whenever he appears in the Abridged movies.** Piccolo by virtue of being the straight man and putting up with [[IdiotHero Goku's antics]] more than the others. * ButWeUsedACondom: {{Averted}} in Episode 34. Vegeta doesn't even know what a condom is.-->'''Bulma''': Gotta admit, even with the broken ribs, you really...

[[spoiler:It doesn't work.]] Gohan corrects him, saying that it looks more like a plateau. The scene is repeated in Episode 26 between Freeza and Vegeta.** Krillin's Destructo Disc hits a mountain after slashing Nappa's cheek, replete with sound effects used previously when Piccolo's Special Beam Cannon hit a different mountain in Episode 2.** In the ''Lord Slug'' special, the minions think Christmas is the Earth name for Freeza Day, mentioned in the ''(Christmas) Tree of Might'' special.*** Referenced again in a Christmas Day 2014 Team Four Star tweet to "all [their] exterrestrial friends" [[https://twitter.com/teamfourstar/status/548157979921752064 here]].** TheStinger to Episode 27 is a call back to a line from Episode 5. Vegeta even lampshades it:--->Huh. Should've known that was a one-hit wonder.** In episode 29, Goku has to [[spoiler:charge his spirit bomb attack to use against Freeza, and needs Piccolo to provide a distraction]]. The conversation between the two is word for word the conversation [[spoiler:between Piccolo and Goku in episode 2 when Piccolo charges his Special Beam Cannon to use on Raditz and gets Goku to distract him, only with the roles reversed.]]*** Also,[[spoiler: not only is Goku humming the same song Piccolo was while charging the Special Beam Cannon, but Freeza finally hits Piccolo's glubock!]]*** [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded by Piccolo]], as the way in which Goku says it is so similar that the Namekian wonders if he's angry about dying last time.----> '''Piccolo:''' Did you just hold a grudge?** Episode 30: Kidney Shot. Doubles as IronicEcho as in this case, Freeza's on the receiving end. Only after the pause, Goku yells "Stomach Punch."*** TheStinger? Well in reference to [[spoiler: Krillin]]'s death and episode 11...----> [[spoiler: Popo]]: Called it.** Also in Episode 30: Freeza makes good on his promise to Goku that he'd give him two pizzas.** Another one from Episode 30: Freeza struggles to control the ki disc he tossed at Goku, much like Yamcha with his Spirit Ball in 'The Christmas Tree of Might.'** While searching for an escape ship, Goku notices that Namek looks "the same, only on fire" while it had looked "all the same" before. This is a call back to not one, but two things Vegeta has said previously. Once he had called out the planet for looking the same everywhere, and another time he had threatened to reduce an area he was floating in to a barren wasteland.--->"So basically the same, only on fire."** In the climax of episode 30, Goku finally locates the muffin button that he mentioned to Dr. Briefs.** In episode 33, Freeza starts malfunctioning while saying "dead" and switches to "cadaveriffic".** Also in episode 33, Krillin yells "[[Film/TheThreeStooges Whoop-whoop-whoop-whoop!]]" in the background after unintentionally pissing off Vegeta. This goes all the way back to the start of season 2 when he was called "Curly" after calling Gohan looking like a young Moe Howard.** In Episode 34, Piccolo, Goku, and Gohan are all training together in a three-way spar. Gohan fails to dodge every single attack and ends up falling off a cliff. Goku remarks to Piccolo that he really needs to learn how to dodge, but Piccolo interrupts, saying "Still working on that."*** Possibly another one to the end of episode 30. When Bulma sardonically asks Vegeta what it's like to be Prince of "all 2 Saiyans" (himself and Goku), Vegeta is quick to correct with "3 and 1/2". The half-Saiyan is certainly referring to Gohan, while the three are Goku, Nappa, and himself** Episode 36 brings back the dodging joke too, with Gero screaming at #19 to do it. Piccolo just shoots Gohan a look.** The title of episode 36 is "Super Saiyan Swagger".** This exchange from episode 40, a call back to the Cooler special.-->'''Android 16''': Hello, bird. What is your name?\\'''Bird''': ''*chirping*''\\'''Android 16''': [[AkiraToriyama Toriyama?]]\\'''Toriyama''': ''*more chirping*''\\'''Android 16''': I would love to see your dinosaur.\\'''Toriyama''': ''*even more chirping*''\\'''Android 16''': It does '''''WHAT'''''?!** In Episode 42 just before [[spoiler:Kami and Piccolo fuse, Kami tried the same "go lower" trick Nail pulled on him in Episode 25. Piccolo didn't fall for it this time]].*** And afterward, [[spoiler:both Nail and Kami try to get Piccolo to repeat his hype-up chant.]]** When Gohan and Trunks find [[spoiler:Cell's eggshells]] Gohan mentions he fought an alien that looked similar--[[spoiler:said eggshell's look like Dodoria's head.]]** While discussing the limits of age and his job, Kami notes that when cars came around he did want to try one but his vision was too bad to drive and asks Piccolo about his time driving a car.** In ''History of Trunks'', any scene with Yamcha in it has been edited [[spoiler: since he dies before everyone else]].*** During the scene where Trunks is arguing with Bulma, there is about a 15 second clip of [[TheScream Vegeta's scream]] from Namek.* CallForward: When Piccolo and Nail are pitching attack names, one of Piccolo's suggestions is "Hellzone Grenade", an attack he used at a later point in the source material. Nail isn't fond of it, but Piccolo decides to keep it.* CallingTheOldManOut: Gohan uses Goku and Ginyu's body swap as an opportunity to let out some much needed aggression:-->'''Gohan:''' Abandon me for a year with Piccolo... Send me off into space... And the next time I get to see you, you lost your damn body!? YOU'RE NOT EVEN YOU ANYMORE!* CallingYourAttacks: Subverted when Goku takes a bit too long with this to throw the Spirit Bomb and gets blasted by Vegeta.** [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in Episode 10:---> '''Vegeta:''' I'm going to end this with a BIG BANG! ... kind of attack.*** This example is played straight in Episode 36 however.** [[PlayingWithATrope Played with]] in Episode 2:--->'''Goku:''' FULL NELSON!\\'''Raditz:''' ''(incredulously)'' A full nelson? That won't work on me. I'm Raditz!** And Raditz was ''recast'' due to an argument over attack names ("Double Sunday" or "Keep Your Eye on the Birdie") ''mid-attack''.** Finally, Piccolo tries to call the name of his five-minute beam attack during the battle with Raditz; after struggling to use the Japanese name, he just goes with the English name, Special Beam Cannon.*** Piccolo just shouts a lot of random syllables in ''Kai Abridged''.---->'''Piccolo:''' MA-KAN-KO-SOPPA-LOPPA-KHAN!*** When Cell uses the attack on Piccolo in Episode 43, saying the Japanese name correctly, Kami says "So that's how it's pronounced."** Parodied in the original version of Dead Zone Abridged when Garlic Jr.'s minions have names for actions/attack patterns that didn't have any in the original, such as: "Wheel of Bitchslaps" for when they attacked Goku in a circle and "Gentle Statue Push" when Goku gets sent flying into a statue.** "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SsL82F-SdTE CLOTHES BEAM!]]"*** It is easily his most metro attack.** Recoome likes to call most of his attacks, all of which begin with his name.*** When he jumps headfirst into King Kai's planet, he shouts, "Recoome, DIIIVE!"** Played with when Vegeta, after getting his arm broken by Android 18, does this while trying to do a sneak attack. Naturally, it fails.-->"Why do I yell things?"* CampStraight: [[spoiler:Zarbon as revealed in Episode 17 when he mentions his girlfriend.]]** Though in Episode 21, Freeza rants that he's convinced [[spoiler: Zarbon's "girlfriend" is named Chuck]].* CantCatchUp: True to the original series, with plenty of comic lampshades.-->'''Gohan:''' With this powerup, I'm now as strong as you were when we fought on earth.\\'''Vegeta:''' [[SarcasmMode Congratulations,]] you're still weaker than the last three guys I killed.\\'''Gohan:''' Wow.

And during the credits sequence.-->'''Vegeta:''' (''still on Namek'') This is so non-canon it hurts.** Played straight with the [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness sloppy]] Dead Zone and World's Strongest parodies, which were made before Team Four Star really formed. Dead Zone was even ''redone'' in November 2013.* CaptainObvious: Nappa on several occasions.** In prison:--->'''Nappa:''' Hey, Vegeta.\\'''Vegeta:''' What is it?\\'''Nappa:''' We're in prison, Vegeta.\\'''Vegeta:''' I see that, Nappa.\\'''Nappa:''' Hey.\\'''Vegeta:''' What?\\'''Nappa:''' Don't drop the soap.\\'''Vegeta:''' I swear to God, Nappa, I will shiv you.** More Nappa:--->'''Nappa:''' Vegeta...

If this situation were reversed, this conversation would never have happened. You'd be dead, and I'd be laughing. Ahahaha... ah, it hurts to laugh...* CarFu: When 17 wants to steal a car, 16 asks if it will help them kill Goku. 17 says that it might if they hit Goku with it.* TheCastShowOff: In a particularly awesome way, "Make A Man Out Of You".* CasualDangerDialog: "Not now Nail!"** Compared to their creator, Androids 17 and 18 have this reaction after being reactivated, being relatively unconcerned about the fact that Vegeta, Piccolo, Tien, Krillin, and Future Trunks are about to break down the door to the lab and instead decide to {{Troll}} Gero [[spoiler: right up until 17 kills him.]]* CatchPhrase: "Goddammit, Nappa!"** "God''dammit''!"** "Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! Mine! MINE!"** "Freakin' weeaboo.": Tenshinhan's for those who love GratuitousJapanese or [[{{Engrish}} Gratuitous Engrish]].** "Doooodge!!" Poor Piccolo...** One shared by the Namekians: "I don't know who/what this (noun) is, but he/it sounds (adjective)."*** Example: "I do not know what this 'Yamcha' is, but it sounds disappointing."** "NERRRRD!"*** "Wait...what?", also used by Piccolo and Krillin when someone (usually Goku or Krillin) does something stupid** "Pecking order."** "NAIL!!!" and for a moment, "BIG GREEN!!!" by Lord Guru.*** [[BeleagueredAssistant "Ughh... Yes sir?"]] and [[BadBoss "What is it Lord Guru?"]]** Nappa has "Hey, Vegeta...".** King Kai has "Shut up, Bubbles/Gregory/Bojack!", usually in groups and usually ending with Bojack.** "THE NAME'S RECOOME, AND IT RHYMES WITH DOOM, AND YOU'RE GONNA BE HURTIN', ALL TOO SOON!"** [[IdiotHero Goku]] has "Bored now!" for a catchphrase. [[ButtMonkey Krillin]] also has "Damn it!"** Gohan has [[OhCrap "Crap baskets!"]]** Freeza's "Adorable."** "Ginyu Force: AWAY!"** Piccolo tends to exclaim "Bitchin" when offered something good* CeilingBanger: King Kai is shown to do this to Bojack on occasion by stomping on the ground.* CelebrityEndorsement: Spoofed by Nappa's Butterfinger ad.* CelebrityImpersonator: Or rather voice actor impersonator.** Lanipator's voicework is a deadringer for [[Creator/ChristopherSabat Chris Sabat's]] Piccolo, Vegeta, Shenron, and his early work for Popo; Linda Young's Freeza (albeit briefly); and Justin Cook's Raditz ([[RuleOfFunny until the recast]]). He also replaced Creator/MasakoX as the voice of Master Roshi in season 3, sounding much closer to Creator/MikeMcFarland's version of him.** Kaiser Neko for [[Creator/SeanSchemmel Sean Schemmel's]] King Kai, Creator/EricVale's Future Trunks, and a remarkably good Yajirobe.** Ganxingba for John Burgmeier's Tenshinhan.** Vegeta3986 for Sabat's Yamcha and (in the first FAQ special) Creator/BrianDrummond's Vegeta.*** Faulerro, who replaced Vegeta3986 as Yamcha halfway through season two, also sounds similar to them.** Despite being cast before ''Anime/DragonBallKai'' was even announced, LittleKuriboh's Freeza sounds uncannily similar to Creator/ChrisAyres' more sophisticated take on him.** General Ivan's Cooler for Tom Hardy's Bane, especially after he transforms.** Similar to LittleKuriboh with Freeza, Megami33 as Bulma sounds like Monica Rial as Bulma before the latter ever cuts a line for ''Dragon Ball Kai''.** It seems Shudo Ranmaru's Android 18 heavily resembles ColleenClinkenbeard's role as 18 in Kai, but this was probably deliberate since the Cell saga of Kai was finished for a while once TFS got this far.* CerebusSyndrome: Yes, you read that right. The Namek arc is slightly more serious than the Saiyan arc, due to Freeza still being evil and nasty. Sometimes it's PlayedForLaughs, but mostly it's genuine drama.** The Cell saga may well follow suit. As soon as Kami first brings up the topic of Cell in episode 40, things turn surprisingly serious, the only remaining jokes in the episode being for the sake of [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] the change in tone. Episode 42 (the unofficial ending of the android saga) is also very dark (lampshaded by Krillin who says that some major shit is going down) [[spoiler: and is the the only episode that doesn't have a stinger, ending instead with a shot of Cell singing a creepy version of [[MisterSandmanSequence Mr Sandman and grinning menacingly]]]].* CharacterizationMarchesOn: The original Abridged version of the Dead Zone movie (even before the rest of the series) had surprisingly different characterizations for some of the characters, such as Gohan being of average intelligence for his age (or possibly lower,) and Goku being rather callous about his son's well-being.* CharacterExaggeration: Lots of it:** Nappa becomes [[PsychopathicManchild FAR too insanely stupid to live]], Piccolo becomes a lonely and [[DeadpanSnarker sarcastic]] JerkAss (and frequently the straight man to Goku's idiocy), Krillin's ButtMonkey status has increased to crazy levels (right down to having a counter for the many times he's been "owned"), and Vegeta becomes pretty much the sanest character (when he's calm), and he's the bad guy (for now).** Goku's abandoning his family to train is taken to new levels (along with his idiocy and appetite), Tien is TheLoner and straight man while his relationship as HeteroSexualLifePartners with Chaotzu is constantly exaggerated by the others, Yamcha is CannonFodder, Chi-Chi is an overprotective MamaBear and Gohan is a child genius with [[ParentalAbandonment issues about Goku's attitude]]* ChewBubblegum: Piccolo screwed this one up several times throughout the original version of ''Dead Zone''.* TheChewToy: Krillin, with his status as ButtMonkey. Also Yamcha and Guldo.* ChirpingCrickets: Both times when Gohan was kidnapped ("Quick, somebody stop him!") and after Yamcha adds that he and Tenshinhan should rescue Krillin during their training in the time city.* ChristmasSpecial: ''Christmas Tree of Might''.* CloudCuckoolander: Nappa.-->''[Gohan disappears from Nappa's sight as he tries to stomp him]''\\'''Nappa:''' Huh!

Mahogany from the planet of Melchior SEVEN, where the trees are 300 feet tall and breathe FIRE!* ClusterBleepBomb: In one episode, Vegeta goes into a long rant, most of which can't be heard over the beeps of Jeice's scouter. During TheStinger of that episode, the rant is heard without the beeps, but it turns out to be a MinorInsultMeltdown or string of {{Unusual Euphemism}}s instead.

In episodes 25 and 42, it was done by a character who ceased to exist as an individual being in the episode. ** In Episode 28 this is taken another step: a character who was [[AlmostDeadGuy horribly wounded at the end of 27]] (yes, he did the message for that episode) does it for this one too... slowly... and in great pain.** Lampshaded in episode 29, where [[spoiler:Krillin]] does it and then is told that his paycheck will sent to his next of kin.** [[spoiler:Yamcha]] reads the disclaimer for Episode 34 and 35, [[LampshadeHanging lampshading that he did the previous episode's disclaimer as well]] and continues.

I have always thought a qb that is a threat to run is better when the pass protection breaks down. A drop back passer only is dead in the water when protection breaks down.

Because in my opinion, Bama is done. In terms of the BCS title, that is; SEC title is obviously still very much in play.
I don't expect more than one of the other three unbeaten teams to lose, and even that is a 50/50 bet at best (USC over Notre Dame). I think KSU blows out the rest of its schedule, Texas included. As for Oregon, Oregon State frequently gives them problems when the Beavers should honestly have no right to do so, but the Ducks have a title in front of them if they just keep winning and Chip Kelly is good at keeping them focused.
Jess Nicholas
Yeah, Oregon has some defensive injuries though that might allow Stanford to make some headway. Still, Stanford is pretty shaky at the QB position this season. They made a change at QB this weekend and he performed decently but still young and mistake prone. Oregon State, I feel, doesn't really have a shot...maybe playing in Corvallis will help the Beavers. Oregon's best shot at losing may be catching UCLA or USC in the championship game.
Of the three undefeated teams, KSU and Notre Dame are probably the two we need to be making our prayers over. Texas hasn't won a big game seemingly since the 2009 RRS game, so putting a lot of hope in them is hard to do. They are more purely talented than KSU though...so maybe they can put it together for one night. Alabama has handled the pressure of being highly ranked well over the years...people forget that these schools who aren't accustomed to being a frontrunner can falter under that pressure. Notre Dame is going to lose to USC. It's in the coliseum and I fully expect the Senior Night motivation at the end of a disappointing season to inspire them. They might not be able to win a title, but they can end somebody else's run in their last home game.
Ultimately, I'm more worried about Auburn right now. We have to beat them to make the SECCG and we certainly don't look good enough to even beat UGA right now much less worrying about scenarios where we catch Oregon, ND, or KSU.
Wouldn't be totally shocked to see either K-State or Notre Dame go down, but I doubt we get both. I don't see anyone touching Oregon in the Pac-12. Hopefully I'm wrong, but the fact is we've just got to stop choking away games late in the year and then hoping we'll get enough catastrophe everywhere else to get back into it. Just handle your own business and the rest is a non-issue, but we haven't been able to do that the past three years.
All in all, the past two weeks to me we have been exposed a bit. Lot of respect for our guys because they have played very hard, but I do think they are in over their heads a bit in terms of experience and depth, and it finally caught up with us. Hopefully we can improve in the final couple of weeks, but for now all of these people who keep talking about these BCS dreams need to just calm down. If we play in Atlanta like we have the past two weeks, we're not even getting through Georgia.
I think Alabama will be a different team in January after a month off healing up all of those injuries. Just like after the 2009 season, the team facing Alabama will be wondering what hit 'em.
I feel pretty good that ND is going to lose in the Coliseum. ND hasn't played a team that can really put on points like USC. After that we're hoping for Oregon to just get unlucky in a shoot out and Texas to play well in a big game for the first time in 3+ years. In that regard, it is something that we can think about in the back of our mind as fans but I'm more worried about beating our biggest rival to seal the division title then playing a team that is frankly far more complete than us in Atlanta.
Georgia is kind of the amalgamation of what we've seen the last two weeks. They've got the scheme and depth at tailback of LSU with the QB-receiver combo of TAMU. Granted, Aaron Murray is not the greased pig Manziel looked like against us...but they can get into base personnel like LSU and pass it around effectively like TAMU. If the last two weeks are any indication, it would take massive improvement for Alabama to defend well enough to win. This is before considering the issues UGA's defense presents. They've underperformed at times but they've started gelling after some early suspensions. Their defense is about in the same tier personnel wise as LSU's and their offense is in the same tier as TAMUs.
The problem to me is that it is November not September. When we fell to South Carolina in 2010, I had hope that we could improve enough to have a back door shot at the SECCG and BCSCG. I didn't really materialize but the defense did come together to a degree but injuries kind of hurt the month of November. It is middle of November, we've got to ride through with what we've got at this point. The secondary might improve but how much can we improve with two more weeks before the SECCG week?
Texas has to the potential to take down K-State based on raw talent alone, though I wouldn't bank on it. Odds are they finish up 12-0 and play in Miami against Oregon.
Think some people are just putting far too many eggs into the USC basket. It's a 7-3 Lane Kiffin-led team that got knocked around by Rich Rod, zero depth, and frankly if they were that good they would be in contention themselves. ND might trip up against them because the Irish aren't that good, but none of that matters unless K-State loses too. In any event, I don't see any way USC takes down Oregon, they just don't have the defensive depth to hold against that scheme over 60 minutes.
As for UGA, it's a tough bunch, admittedly. When they are on -- as I would expect them to be against us -- they are as good as anyone in the country. They will be a lot of trouble for us, frankly. As bad as McCarron has been, the UGA defense will force him into a long night, and if Mett can pick apart the UA secondary, you better bet that Murray can too. Not exactly feeling bullish about that Grantham v. Nussmeier match-up after the past couple of weeks, either.
We'll see what happens with us, but I wouldn't bank too much on further improvement. When you're eleven weeks into the season, you are what you are, and unlike 2010, injuries hasn't been a major issue this season on defense (in fact, we've been remarkably healthy on defense). We've just got to get a lot better level of play out of the kids we have back there, and that may not come until next season. In hindsight, I think Saban was pretty on-point about his concerns with this team even in the pre-season: We've got a lot of guys who are playing key roles without a lot of experience.

Yep, that is the problem at this point. It's not like a fire under a tail or light turning on will make Sunseri a step faster nor make Fulton the consistent 3rd corner we need. We are what we are at this point. The best we can hope for is that we do what we already do well a little better and that makes up the difference.
Biggest issues we had in 2010 were complacency and injuries, neither of which have been a problem this year.
Moving into next year, we've just got to develop Landon Collins and hope the light finally goes on for Clinton-Dix, who continues to take bad angles and make bad decisions when tracking the ball. Would love to get Milliner back for another year, but that won't happen, so we're going to be need very big senior seasons out of both Belue and Fulton, and hopefully get Geno Smith and Bradley Sylve to develop into quality nickel and dime players.
With it being obvious that LSU and TAMU, had schemed well against our defense, it will be interesting to see if there is a shift personnel for coach Saban. I think teams have given up traditional running games against us. Quick passes and the occasional run into the interior to keep the safeties honest appears to be the way to go. This defense works a high percentage of the time but in college football there is not much room for error. Jess, do you feel that too much emphasis has been placed on the passing game in order keep the appearance of being explosive?
People in the know don't talk about Saban's Jack LB in base...they talk about his Star (nickel back) in the 4-2-5/3-3-5 look. It is the difference maker position in this defense: a guy who can play some robber zone like a safety, hold up in man against interior receivers, and often a blind side blitzer too. Look at Arenas in 2009: I believe he had more TFLs and sacks than INTs that season. This team lacks that kind of player this season. Milliner is probably the best option for star but he's too valuable on the perimeter of the defense it seems. We moved him inside Saturday and it forced more outside throws but we gave up one too many for the hole we dug in the first 15.
Dixon leaving for personal reasons put us into a bind. Milliner would have more than likely played star this year with the two JUCO transfers playing field and boundary in 5 DB. Sunseri would have played Dime emulating some of Barron's hybrid LB/S roles. More than any of the camp or in-season injuries, Dixon's departure affected things the most with Fowler being a distant second.

How much did Jarrick Williams' injury hurt us?
