"Hey, mom."
"Go play in traffic."
"OK."
Genuinely hilarious.
The first line about accepting Kool Aid from the art teacher was good too lol
My dad said the same thing to us when we said we were bored
"And as a gay man, he had nothing to lose!" fucking killed me
Saaaame
just the way Lani presents it lol just makes it all the better
The delivery on that was hilarious.
"Don't take it more seriously than Toriyama did"
Damn that's amazing advice
That really is Kaisers greatest strength and weakness.
God, I wish I heard that earlier in life.
May I ask why? Genuinely c: Well besides being disappointed when stuff like the super saiyan bargin sale happens
@@sashasscribblesit’ll drive you insane
Too bad the fans never take it
"BOOM HARD R DROP"
"Not what hard R means"
I've been laughing for like twenty minutes 😂
I love that Linus tech tips did the same mix up
THEY CAN SEE THE FUTURE
Kaiser: "I didn't start the editing arms race."
Also Kaiser: "I set out to upstage people with my editing in Lupin and I did!"
Kaiser: I didn’t start the editing arms race, I _won_ the editing arms race
Based
Tbf they mostly said that masako started the editing arms race
@@Deathnotefan97 Damn right, he did.
"My memory has more holes in it than a swiss cheese factory full of a lesbian mouse orgy"
That has got to be one of the most amazingly elegant and stupid sayings that I have ever heard 😭
It is one HELL of a line.
The image alone will now be stuck in my head for at least 3 days
The fact that Kaiser didn't crack when he said that is what got me 😂
I'm just curious why it's specifically a lesbian mouse orgy?
That sentence alone tells me who came up with some certain DBZA lines
6:41 I love how he impulsively reaches out to cover his ears because he doesn't want to hear this line. But as soon as he realises he has earphones on and can't do that, all he can do is let out a scream of piercing anguish.
In America~
You can tell Lani hadn’t watched this video in several years and wasn’t prepared for the cringe most people experience when seeing their past.
@@rasengdori13 such a huge difference from how he reacted to the cringe of early dbza which he at least watches often😂this video made him remember embarrassment
He also can't share and displace the cringe as he is solely responsible for YYHA.
@@MidnightKingL Oh my god that is so painful just thinking about it 😭😭😭
Lani reminds me so much of Jack Black and the fact he is a fan is just perfect
Hell true.
Lani kind of reminds me of Jack Black.
My name is in fact John, and this is the first one I’ve ever watched high. Y’all damn near gave me a heart attack, good stuff
my man
And like that, the stoners have claimed themselves another John
3 seconds of pure panic before reality set in again god damnit Lani you got me
Hello, fellow John
Another John here
@ 2:08 when Lani pointed at the screen and said "and you" my kitten raised her hand and screamed in joy. So I just wanted everyone to know that she is happy to be included.
Wait, your kitten has hands? Weird
@@johannesstephanusroos4969 🤓
Adorable xD
Perfect baby 🥰
Now we need Masakox and LittleKuriboh to talk about their abridged beginnings.
I KNOW RIGHT?!?!
Yesss masakox and vegeta3986 NTAS and YGTAS was mad
Man, you know it's serious when you got Lani out here squirming.
Humble beginnings, boys. Embrace the origin stories!
48:49
"Mark this in your books, I was the first abridger to use the c word in my show."
"Proudly. And as a gay man, he had nothing to lose!"
I love the rapport they have 😂
It’s amazing how fast he reacted to the sentence
Excellent chemistry!
How can you not love Lani’s origin story?! The guy had a broken goddamn back from rugby, and from that he found LK, was inspired to make his own abridged series, became a founding member of TFS along with the boys, was in Xenoverse 2, and the rest is history..!
Wait, he voice someone in xenoverse 2?
He looks like he excelled at school as well
@@jean-bastienjoly5962 he and taka i believe. And kaiser had a cameo in resurrwction f english dub
@@PowerPuffBoysZ all 3 voiced player characters in xenoverse 2 I believe
@@LemonMoon yep taka is 15, kaiser is 12 and lani is 8 if I remember correctly
"This is the Neighborhood Watch Committee reminding you that Necrophilia is still illegal."
That is a quote that will come up in my brain every now and again, thanks Lani.
Its kind of sad that the jank ass era is gone. Like with how good everyone got at editing and voice acting the bar is so high. Like imagine wanting to make your own abridged series nowadays and how much more intimidating it is when the competition is DBZA season 3.
Yeah. But then again, we’ve all gotta start somewhere.
@@daelen.cclark Mm. Its just a lot easier to have the confidence to start when everyone else is also just starting out. The minimum bar to be successful is way higher.
As someone working on a record of Ragnarok abridged, yeah, it's scary.
@@CaptainClapper Ooph, best of luck
“My memory has more holes in it than a Swiss cheese factory with a lesbian mouse orgy”
Never in my life do I think I’ll hear a more perfect sentence
I legit had to pause because of the whiplash this gave me
What a wonderful quote
What an odd thing to say…
Taking that sentence literally, there ain't a whole lot of holes in that at all!
Also, suspiciously specific.
Lani having a Linus Tech tips moment with not knowing what the hard R means 🤣
This reminds me when his ex accidentally said it on a gaming video,
then Lani referenced it in a Bloodborne video.
@@FloridaGuy53 lanis ex? i didn’t know he got a divorce, i wondered where that ring went.
@@sirensongss Well, I think he did. All I know is that they seperated.
@@FloridaGuy53 He did. It was amicable though, they just grew apart.
@@Nobody-wx6rk They were so good together, too.
It's a shame, but, at least, Lani's coming to terms with it. Not everyone can say the same.
Okay seriously, "You better come back to life OR I'LL KILL YOU!!" is still one of my absolute favorite lines of anything.
Huh ... didn't know Nick singing Tenacious D was something I needed in my life ... but now I don't know how I'd live without it.
Nick is a perfect candidate for Jack Black covers.
@@gumballthechewyAnd Jack Black look-alike 👀.
@@adrianemanuel7121Nick is just Jack Black with a clever disguise.
I wasn’t high but Lani still scared the shit out of me with the “john” call out.
Same
Thank you for not smoking
Yep! Was mid-yawn, at the time too (not high though, just watching while settling in for bed)
Bruh same! when he pointed said thats when i met you i fucked around an out loud said "oh me" then hes like i see you john like bruh, chills!! 😂😂
@@OrgusDin
Perfect matching
There's nothing like laughing at yourself for April fools.
If you can't laugh at yourself, who will?
More like screaming internally
@@munasar25 exactly. Wouldn't you rather laugh at yourself?
I like how this both works as an April fools video and a serious episode of that thing that they're doing!
11:40 I just want to give Nies some more love, cause the fact they literally recorded this bit on their phone just makes me so much happier than it should. Small details like these are what make enjoy shows and games, seriously.
Complete with bumping the microphone, _pooft boomph_
I thought something happened to the screen. I just thought it was kaisers editing
"im not getting my ass kicked to this" "i beg to Differ" is such a great exchange between Kuwabara and Yusuke
I love how Lani is still pissed about how good Kaiser's edits are from 15 years ago LMAO
Seeing these two have genuine moments of laughter and interaction is legitimately friendship goals. That breakout of laughter to "And as a gay man, he had nothing to lose!" only shows the camraderie between them, and their compliments to everyone that walked with them on the journey of abridging feel earnest and heartfelt.
If every April 1st produces gems like this, I can have faith in some good content from that day again.
Reminds me of their Xenoverse 1 playthrough, when they were discussing if a character(I think it was Recoome) would use the f-word and they actually said it.
Kaiser(approximated): We can say that word because I’m here
Lani: Yeah, and he takes it up the ass all the time!
*video completely derails from everyone laughing madly*
@@RogueHippie13which episode
I wanna thank the entire Abridging community for giving me so many priceless and amazing memories.
-
It really felt like being a part of something in a time where people who liked these things were pretty much shunned.
Thank you, everyone, and the amazing communities!
"Give me back my body, I need that to beat people up like other positive role models!" Is hilarious.
"Wait, THIS is your badass music?! I'm not getting my ass kicked to THIS!"
Is damn inspirational writing. That's actually hilarious.
"Damn, this soundtrack has hands."
-If Lani's YYH Abridged was made in current day.
@@FloridaGuy53 omg so accurate I love it lol
“Badass” music… with open bar.
First line of lani's first episode, and already has his inner Vegeta raging
Deep Rage… with open bar.
You guys absolutely saved my life. I was in a real dark place in my life but smoking a blunt and watching DBZA on repeat really helped me to get by. That and TFS gaming. Thank you guys so much
TFS Gaming and old Achievement Hunter really got me through some terrible times
Full on agreed.@@RageMagikarp
"You're now in the evil lair" pause...unpause "with open bar." Absolutely best timing, I was dying ^w^
That was in DBZ as well, can't remember where. Good enough to work twice.
@@TheDanishGuyReviews Episode 1. One of the first lines in DBZA.
It’s ok Nick, know that you’re not suffering alone. We’re here with you. You don’t have to bear that burden alone
I’ve been sober for almost 3 years now. But there was a time when every new DBZA episode was watched with a fresh bowl of weed
Fifteen-ish years after the last time I watched it, the scene of Lupin exclaiming, "I has a bucket!" stuck with me all this time.
Having never encountered Lupin Abridged before now, that open bar joke in DBZA always bugged me. Finally understanding it is like a small weight off my shoulders. So that's cool.
I assumed it was a reference but never knew to what. So yeah, good to know
The most incredible thing about this is realizing that Lani is just an avatar of Jack black.
I also need a sharable clip version of "This is Yugioh Town motherfucker!"
FOR REAL LMAO
"AND YOU HYPHENATED!" Just the way Lani says it and points fucking kills me XD Like "A-HAH!!" I freaking love seeing you two go at it like this!
Also, FUCKING PINNACLE STUDIOS! That sent me 10 years back in time I remember I used that at some point with some reaction videos! Thank you for that memory crash there Lani!
"don't take this more seriously than what Toriyama did" now if that isn't a quote than the PowerLevelist DBZ Fandom needs to hear more often, even you Toyotaro, especially you Toyotaro
I DID NOT EXPECT IT TO END WITH "ANOTHER IRISH DRINKING SONG" JUST BUSTED INTO A TRIO WITH LANI AND KAISER! I'M TOO HIGH FOR THIS!
Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged was peak internet humor. Probably the best of all Abridged series ever made, all things considered
I say we make Kaiser watch the rest of Lupin Abridged. His self-cringe gives me life.
6:21 I like how you can see how well they know each other by the fact Kaiser knew exactly how lani came up with scripting.
to be fair that was how everyone/99% of people "abridged" back in the day lol
@@ShiroNero94 yep - it's 2008, you're a teenager, you're just happy to have something to show to your buds on a phpbb site.
I watched your History of Trunks stoned off an insanely massive edible and when Trunks found Gohan I could not stop crying for like 30 minutes.
I've watched all of DBZA really high. It was like pure nostalgia with none of the melancholy, like I get to slightly experience everything for the first time again. It was really nice
I love the fact you guys mentioned Gozar. ARDBZ and Yugioh Abridged was my introduction to abridging back in the day.
Getting to learn about the history of abridging through these videos has been a fascinating and welcome experience.
"I made Yukina racist" is one of the funniest concepts I've ever heard considering her character. Lmao
After he said “John”, I blushed and jumped, lmao thank you for birthday present of that unintentional callout, Lani, from someone who’s been watching since this very episode 1 of Yu Yu❤
But your name's Jack...
@@justina1909 Which is a nickname for John. English nicknames are weird.
@@PIKMINROCK1 WHAT
@@PIKMINROCK1 i have learned a new, stupid thing.
@@marxist-leninist-protagonist everyone named Richard is such a dick
“Ok, Fujiko, I have a plan, but it involves breaking all the laws of physics.” (Or something like that)
You know, with how nuts the Lupin the 3rd show is in general, I didn’t think an abridged could make it even crazier.
But somehow, you managed it 😂
I know this is supposed to be kind of an April Fools thing, but honestly, thank you so much for acknowledging your old work. I know it's rough around the edges, but even back in the 2000's, you guys were onto something truly special, and it was a genuine pleasure watching you all grow as artists from the very beginning.
53:15 I care
You can tell YYHA aged, but man some of those jokes still get a chuckle out of me.
The "Go play in traffic." bit made me laugh a lot like Kaiser did!
As painful as it may be for you Lani, I'd love to see more of your commentary on YYH abridged. It was actually one of the only ones I watched way back in the day alongside YGO and Naruto, so seeing the first episode here again was super nostalgic for me. That said, this was my first time seeing that Lupin abridged, and I have to agree for the time that's some really impressive stuff! I'm sure young me would've gotten a kick out of that series back then, had I found it.
What's rough to you guys now was kind of revolutionary back then, and even considered good! I genuinely think the abridging scene has had an effect on online comedy and humor in a big way and I think you should be proud of that!
Lani, not sure if you'll see this, but I want to echo what I wrote in a letter way back when DBZA ended with the Cell Saga. YYHA was something I looked forward to watching whenever they came out. I was in a dark place in my life circa 2007 with my mom having passed away in 2005 and I was in state of depression. I loved every episode and laughed so hard with it all. I am glad to see you successful and enjoying what you do, and I look forward to see what you do in the future.
Also, you are right. Kuwabara is the best.
Thanks dude ❤
14:30 Aww. ❤
As a survivor myself, hearing Lani talk about Martin saving his life kinda is a resonating note to me even if that's not the intent and I'm glad you got this experience. Also I am high watching these. I do love watching these high, but I have no preference of state of sobriety in terms of watching these. I just love DBZA and will always watch TFS content when I see it in my bell feed or recommended feed
I liked YYH Abridged. I really enjoyed the sub-plot of getting Hiei's show back on air.
I have a similar story to Lani. When I destroyed my knee in judo and spent several months unable to walk, I decided to finally watch DBZA after hearing my high school friends talk about it for years.
Didn’t save my life or anything, but probably help preserve my thin grasp on sanity.
The way Kaiser nearly spit his drink out at the cousin joke made ME nearly choke on my apple XD
Listening to you guys while sober is already funny enough, but while inebriated it's too much
Ok I have to say this, kudos to editor for making the Lucky Star dance look depressing and hilarious
"I've made Martin cry both physically and mentally"
*brandishes closed fist*
Jesus what happens in the writers room?
He has to find a way to do his screams somehow
I mean, have you seen unabridged?
I get the feeling 1st Rule Of Popo's training© applies here.
I'm pretty sure a crap ton of caffeine to the point of ascending to a new plane of existence, and sheer insanity breaking loose for a while, is what goes on.
An office version of Thunderdome would be my first guess.
I'd love hear a YYH Abridged commentary from Lani. Let's take another dive into history.
Watching all the comedy of not only the series but also your interactions and commentary is more than enough reason to get high for it.
I absolutely loved watching just how far you two have come. With open bar.
One of the very first things I remember hearing about Yu Yu Hakusho Abridged as a kid was that Lani's Kuwabara was insanely good.
Oh My God! After all these year that "Open Bar" line in Dragon ball finally makes sense now!
You know I will always want you guys and the rest of the team/ teams you worked with to do a Big O abridged since literally I have never seen one and it's a short show and just a banger, like I feel like you guys could make literal gold out of it
Lani your abridged was what got me into anime beyond just yugioh and pokemon I still remember watching your early works and it actually helped me through some hard times
I just wanted to say as someone who’s been a fan of DBZA for years and has NEVER watched the Lupin Abridged before, that shit is actually hilarious. I’m sitting here at work trying not to look like a crazy person holding back my laughs while I listen to this ❤
John about to have an existential crisis. “Are they talking to me!”
I'm seeing a therapist next week, thanks to Lani!
“Of course they’re talking about me. How dare they I’m right here! Say it to my face. What if they’re not talking about me? What if they haven’t talked about me all day, which is worse?! And now they’re laughing which means they’re either laughing at me or without me!”
I'm honored he talked about me
Hi i am John and i did creepy
They were, tho
good to see how you 2 started making these videos. i speak for many on the wild old web when i say we are glad you guys made this content.
I was first introduced to you guys through DBZA, so it is really cool to see your first ventures into the world of Abridging!
I miss Yuyu Hakusho Abridged and was (and still am) hoping it would make a comeback.
Rest in peace Lupin the 3rd Abridged 😢7
Lani, I think your show was my first abridged series I came across. Thanks for making me laugh and a few one liners I used on my friends.
I've watched y'all since the beginning, but only 24 now, going back to rewatch it all high (yes, even YYH Abridged) makes it unneccesarily funnier than it was sober, so GG guys. You guys and TheMidnightFrogs both.
As someone who writes professionally, I cringe the same way at my early chicken scratchings as Lani and Kaiser do to their early stuff. But I imagine that's true of virtually every person who works in a creative field--painting, music, photography, etc. And if it wasn't for our cringe-inducing early works, we wouldn't be where we are today.
But seriously, thank you so much LittleKuriboh and TFS, for the amazing work you've already done and the amazing stuff still to come.
Ya do the best you can at the time. You can't get better without putting in the work!
@@rwbyab7423 Amen!
If you're cringing at your old stuff, it shows you've gotten better if nothing else. At least that's how I view it with my own writing.
I like my older stuff. Hell I wrote one of my best ever poems in eighth grade. I mean I'm tons more refined now, but at the time, that was clever shit and I'm a me hater like I'm not into my stiluff at all, but style aside I Am clever..at least, I was then. It is good to see my flaws of the time but I don't rip on old me cause that kid with what he had to work with still showed great promise.
I don't write professionally (yet) but have looked back at some of my early attempts with similar...well you described it already.
After the amount of experience they have had since making DBZA, FF7MA, and HELLSING ULTIMATE ABRIDGED, I wonder what their past work would be like if they remade them for today?
I always make sure to smoke up whenever I watch DBZA or anything you guys make. Being high and enjoying your guy's content is probably the best way to go about things
This commentary series has been my after work get high and eat with entertainment for the past while and I love it so far
Honestly, I’m kinda surprised Lani or Kaiser never decided to do reduxes of their first abridged series for their channel anniversary. Only the first episodes specifically
Oh wow I didn't catch 'Cheers' 'Frasier' until just now
I remember this has my first intro to Lupin and I loved it. Kaiser reframing each episode as something fandom related I thought was hilarious.
I remember Pinnacle you chonological-editing-only bastard
Roof class… with open bar.
(Also, it’s awesome to see you here!)
At some point, I'd LOVE to see Lani and Kaiser and whoever else wants to see it revisit the Neighborhood Cluck DBZ series.
It's an interesting prototype to what DBZA did, especially for some of the jokes and voices.
I haven't finished the video yet but I do wanna say that YYHA was honestly way better than I expected it to be after hearing y'all talk about it lol fully expecting Lupin Abridged to be the same.
But also, y'all shouting out Gozar for ARDBZ just made me happy. He and his series was how I was introduced to the abridging concept and I've always had a soft spot for it.
"Urameshi you're suspended now Excuse me while I drink some more send" I was fourteen when I first heard that line and it still took me by surprise all these years later this was always the gem that I was proud show reference with my friends back in hs 😂
God i forgot how much i loved that silly ending sequence for Hakusho abridged, imagine if Lani ever managed to actually make it to Jin XD
I have such good memories of Yuyu abridged. I remember being ticked off that cartoon network cancelled it, so I went online to try and find a way to watch it. "Huh, what's this abridged thing? Oh! Mabybe its just highlights from episodes. Yeah, that might hold me over." :D
That glamour photo joke still gets me every time, I can't help but quote it when I pull out the blu rays.
I actively look forward to your guys' commentary popping up in my feed so I can go home smoke some weed, and just relax, and watch you guys
Chads Lani and Kaiser addressing their own lore like it’s a podcast.
I really miss that I can't find lupin the 3rd abridged anymore. Loved the show as a kid
Whenever I'm high and bored I remember to watch these and it's always a treat. I know it's a parasocial thing but it feels like I'm actually sitting there with you guys imersed in all the nostalgie that I've felt when watching and you guys felt when making it :)
I was there on CZcams when both of these got out. I was definitely inspired and laughed a lot in college in my lowest times. Tried to do my own with Batman the animated series. Had a teaser. It got taken down eventually because of the use of the song kick some ass. But I loved both of your guys work. I hope you guys go back on other projects like when Lani helped out Teamdatbayo Death Note (the arrested development of abridged series out there I think). This was a lot of fun hearing the behind the scenes and remember old references back then. Hope you guys are well. Keep bringing smiles.
Honestly them watching their first Abridged episodes and commentating on it, is kinda inspiring. Kinda makes me want to try my hand at abridging or anything creative tbh.
I honestly want a complete yu yu hakusho abridged series 19:31
And now I want lupin abridged too 32:27 laughed so hard I’m wheezing
I too want a YYH Abridged!!
@@David-dz1cb most of the episodes are on lani channel, or were last I looked. Go down the individual members of tfs rabbit hole, lots and lots of laughs
As far as I know, Lani always had the best Kuwabara voice near identical to the anime!
Ah, to be in the Abridging community so early. Lanipator was one of the first CZcams people I really followed, consuming everything that they had. I watched YuGiOh, Naruto, and YYH Abridged religiously, following the talents as they developed. From the beginning I knew Lani was a stellar VA and I was endlessly entertained by what he did. I even toyed around with jumping on the DBZ Abridged idea off of my own AMV experience like Takahata.
It's been a pleasure being along for the ride for sixteen years since the start of the format. Abridged series helped spur my interest in editing, voice acting, and comedic writing that I've carried to this day. You guys have helped spur a phenomenon in the online space and it's something I can't thank you enough for pioneering.
I like how Lani looks with glasses. Never apologize for wearing glasses, man. Love your guys’ work!
I absolutely watch these stoned and it makes me giggle, especially Kaiser and Lani's visceral reactions
Dude saame.
