The whole thing was awesome, but I lost it on episode 9. The whole sequence from when Nappa said "it's his turn" is just incredible :lol

I didn't care for the videogame parodies in Episode 4, I think, the mahogny thing in episode 2, and the SNL German weightlifter impersonations but other than that this is really funny. My favorites are Piccalo and Mr. Bobo.

OMG at episode 6 or 7 and King Kai.

"Im alive!"

"Yes and you have conveniently learned several key fighting techniques off screen, now GTFO my planet".

I seriously ROFL at that.

That Goku voice sounds a good deal like the second one Ocean used, I remember it swapping while Goku was traveling to Namek I think. God it was horrible, still better than the Funimation one following it, but that season one Goku voice in the Ocean dub was probably the best voice the character has ever had altogether.

What's lame is that he still kept writing for the series (even after Funimation took over dubbing themselves), so I don't see why they couldn't have kept him onboard.

Money. Ian Corlett walked from Ocean Studios for DBZ because of how low the payments were.

http://web.archive.org/web/20010210101651/dbzuncensored.terrashare.com/opinions/icorlett.html

Without blowing my own horn too hard, I'm very good at dubbing (speedy). But dubbing work is grueling. It's quite likely to sit in a dark booth for a full 8 hour day, grinding out multiple episodes of a given show. That's what DBZ was like. Honestly it all came down to $$. Especially when the project moved to the Ocean Group. They are notorious for chiseling and paying fractions of what actor's are paid elsewhere. To their credit, that's how they get the work. The Ocean group and I don't really see eye to eye. But I simply got tired. I drew the line on all dubbing work after that (at Ocean that is). Without going into the gory details, basically I asked for about $250 more per episode - and that's CANADIAN $$!! (I think that works out to about .29 cents US. no?). I guess my "other commitments" where to anything else willing to pay what I'm worth - and my sanity, of course.

Okay, kinda lame sometimes. Also, should be shorter.

Yea I thought they were nuts for not making the episodes in 2-minute chunks like the ADD crowd would like. I'm glad they didn't.

While watching, I was thinking about whether I could show this to people without them getting bored. :lol I really do think it drags on a bit sometimes, though.

Piccolo/Krillin: KAGE BUSHIN NO JUTSU
(Naruto sfx)
Nappa: VEGETA! I don't... believe it.

Krillin: This is my... Destructo Disk!
Piccolo: (weakly) laaaaame.

(after Krillin throws the Destructo Disk at Nappa)
Vegeta: Watch out, Nappa, it's a trick!
Nappa: But Vegeta! ... Trix are for kids.

Vegeta: All of these Saibamen have the same power level as Raditz. That's right - he was so weak, we can actually GROW Raditzes!

Nappa: Look Vegeta! He's the Raditz of their group.

Nappa: Don't worry, Vegeta! I'll just use what I learned at Saiyan University.
Vegeta: Wait... What could you possibly go to college for?
Nappa: Child psychology.

I think the best part of that was not the line itself, but the groan that followed. :lol

Yeah, many of the best parts are when someone is shouting faintly off screen, too.

"What a cunning plan! No wait, what's the opposite of cunning?"
"Retarded?"

I also like how everyone was impressed when Piccollo killed one of the Sabermen shortly after Krillin killed three, but nobody gave a shit because it's Krillin. "Nobody cares!"

That whole sequence came completely out of nowhere and I was laughing like a hyena for a good minute afterwards.

Timing really is everything.

He was pretty amazing, but his death was totally worthwhile if only for Vegeta's reaction. That long shot of just him smiling is perfect.
