    9:44 Gonna defend past TFS here. Headbutt CAN be super effective if the pokemon using it has the abilities Refrigerate, Galanize, Pixalate, or Aerilate. Most likely, this particular Gohan has Aerilate, its hidden ability, making Headbutt super effect against Raditz, who is clearly a grass type since we see Nappa plant some more later.

    I still like the mahogany bit. I never saw it as a "lol random" kind of joke, I thought it very much illustrated the character it was coming from. He's supposed to be this grand imposing figure, but he really just works a lame desk job, so he takes great pride in the quality of his desk even though it's not at all impressive in the afterlife, where the laws of time and space are thrown out the window. Then at the end he reveals that it's made from fire-breathing space trees and has magical properties, which IS pretty cool... except that he then again places his emphasis on the mundane aspects of it, because that's what he thinks is impressive.

    When we were talking about swords and canes, I mentioned that one of my canes was made of Mahogany. At the same time, we both went "Mmmmmmahogany".

      It especially hit well with me because a girl my partner went to law school with would just never shut up about how amazing her father's (who works at giant law firm X) mahogany desk was. And did you know her father works at giant law firm X? And his desk is mahogany??
      Like, the joke perfectly tapped into some weird zeitgeist that actually exists for some people.

      (of course in reference to the scene where Vegeta didn't get to keep his clothes after he died in Namek and when it's confirmed later as we see King Yemma react to Recoome)

    You know, there was a lot of hype back when DBZA first launched. There were lots of abridged projects already but TFS was like this big project and people were hyping it up and crap. And I remember when I first watched it my first thought was holy shit this is very well produced compared to other abridged series.
    I think even these humble beginnings were huge steps way back when. And you guys improved A LOT with the times, which just makes it even better.

Also having LK be the narrator was amazing too

      In case they don’t talk abt it, they’ve said before it stemmed from a filler scene in the Buu Arc where Popo defends himself pretty well against SSJ Goten & Trunks. That made them and others go “what if Popo is secretly crazy strong and just chooses not to show it...?” I dunno if there’s more to it than that or if they just took that idea to the extreme but yeah. Also he has a creepy design so it kinda fits
