[@nylondaimon]

remember Nappa majored in child psychology... with a minor in PAIN!

[@erickchristensen746]

I don’t think either of which landed him his producer job lol.

[@CasualVideoGamer]

Child psychology.. with a MINOR in pain. God their writing just gets me even back then.

[@thehoodedteddy1335]

It took me years to get the “minor in pain” joke

[@SHadowBlader5]

Can we applaud Melon on her TFS knowledge cause she remembers all the old stuff from episodes 1-10?

[@arkleuss]

remembering Nappa´s degree caught me off guard

[@freakishpurrrfection]

I would, but I remember stuff from all those after at least 5 years without watching them and I have a not so good memory so I find that a bit concerning. Are we brainwashed by this show?

[@iamMildlyUpsetWithMostOfYouTub]

Frr it’s sorta sad that most reactors will miss references cuz they forget stuff right after the episode is over.

[@snackeater4990]

That’s why I like her reactions, cause she actually pays attention 👍

[@SHadowBlader5]

@arkleuss I've never connected the dots on like "oh so that's why he's good with kids"

[@superdruid999]

Remember nappa giving tips on not staking the baby screaming "youll never be King!", and "dont force feed him coffee, it will stunt his growth". Vegeta the eternal prince thats relatively short compared to others...nappa was talking out of experience when he took care of vegeta when he was a baby.

[@Animelon]

Yeah I realized while editing when I rewatched it. I was like damn, how’d I miss that lol

[@ayouxy]

"How did Bulma approve that?" She married a space hitler but not before having a crush on Zarbon, in canon too, and having Yamcha (who was a rogue desert thief) as her boyfriend. A good judgement of character is not Bulma's strongest suit...

[@asimplewizard]

"I can fix him."

[@ayouxy]

@@asimplewizard man she can't fix herself lmao...still gathering the dragonballs to wish she had a better butt...

[@kaelhyun2401]

To be fair before Chichi reminded Goku of his promise she was considering dating Goku too

[@thedarkknight2221]

Fun Fact: when Vegeta gets blown away by Trunks’ stream he’s in the same pose as when he got hit by the Spirit Bomb.🤣🤣

[@TheGohanSkywalker]

I mean, Nappa's a Hollywood producer after he got revived. He's gotta be loaded, and Capsule Corp is the megacorp of the DBZ world, so...they probably met at a "rich people" gathering like a charity event or something.

[@kennethmorgan8795]

Not just any producer, he produces Hercule Satan's movies... at least I assume that's how he knows the guy.

[@erickchristensen746]

@@kennethmorgan8795 Given just how famous Hercules is, makes sense.

[@AGhastlyGengar]

Does that mean he produced the Cell Games film they showed at the world martial arts tournament?

[@kennethmorgan8795]

@@AGhastlyGengar probably, maybe 'executive producer' at that point. Also I just remembered we know 100% that he met Hercule when he got the movie he wrote made, and that was almost certainly the reason Hercule got famous, because he mentions the guy's original name (Mark something I think he says) and then says they gotta work on the name.

[@bobmike8484]

The "bear cruz" joke is reference to the OX king having the "bear" body type some people in the gay community really like. The 'bear' being an actual bear is a pun.

[@brandonvanscoycloud6469]

^^^

[@MLBeaton]

I literally searched the comments to confirm this fact... It is a funny little piece with the pun

[@BLACKjacket1]

Its rare someone actually understood the joke. Bravo my friend

[@lynorran]

I was just going to comment, "Melon didn't get the bear cruise joke..." So, thanks.

[@wakkaseta8351]

And assuming the bear is the one from OG Dragonball, they're both literal daddies.

That bit with Goku at the end still gets me. Damn, they had to do it like that, didn't they?

[@spider59er35]

I’m glad they did He’s always watching out for them🤟🏻

[@lololol924]

Its why i really want them to do the Buu Saga one day. Seeing a Goku 7 years being dead, and actually putting in effort to be a good dad to Goten would be super sweet.

[@chocagray4265]

The ending of the second one still makes my eyes teary. The strained happy look of Chi-chi, the fact it's on Christmas, that Gohan was of this much help, and that as promised Goku checked up on them frequently, that and the fact he went and stop what he was doing despite it being Christmas, just to quiet down and watch Goten's birth.

[@deltaace6426]

This.

[@johnbowersox738]

You know thinngs are bad when Nappa (Mr. "stab the baby") is the good example of parenting.

[@shadowfox8748]

Oh melon … the 3rd episode where you get to witness the greatness of a potential of a date between krillin and 18 … so wholesome

[@Animedingo]

Bear is also a term for a large hairy gay man

[@alexthoman96]

Yamcha's "Wolf Fang Bye" 😂🐺

[@jdm3gee14]

So... I didn't know Ox King swung that way. Also Vegeta saying everybody down had me weak

[@RedJackz]

Nappa majored in child psychology... WITH A MINOR IN PAIN!!!

[@SS2Dante]

Ahahaha the subs refer to Piccolo as "CEO of Big Green Threads" - so he DID start that clothing line after all. Guess he's modelling the merch :P

[@Skrulzie]

Honestly episode 3 of these Dragon ShortZ is my favorite

[@benjamindonahue9434]

I ACTUALLY FORGOT ABOUT THE CHILD PSYCHOLOGY BIT XD

[@sethporter9066]

WITH A MINOR IN PAIN!!!

[@chakinabox]

"Bear cruise" basically a gay cruise, yet the payoff of the joke is just literally him hangin out on a cruise with a bear.....or is it?

[@She-Devil94]

Yeah I think that's the jole they are going for.

[@kelaarin]

There's a furry element in that joke as well.

[@Destiny87]

A Gay cruise, yes, but specifically for big, burly, often hairy, gay men.

[@saphcal]

fun fact if someone hasnt mentioned it. the tail removed at birth thing is a TFS exclusive thing. in the original series/canon All saiyan/human hybrids except Gohan were born without tails. They never had tails to remove.

[@sammyauroraloves]

It's been mentioned but yeah, the "bear cruise" bit at the end is because "bear" is LGBT slang for gay men who are big and hairy - like Ox King. The joke is that he's on a cruise for big hairy gay men, but because the DBZ universe has sentient animals, there's also a literal bear there. (KaiserNeko the editor is gay, hence a lot of the references like this.)

[@trolleyfan]

That's...not the normal meaning of "Bear Cruise..."

[@mermidion7552]

everyone is saying how they get really teary eye on the ending on the Second one and i agree.....the Bear cruise Ending is really wholesome :P

[@victorhale]

You’re gonna LOVE episode 3. I about laughed and smiled the whole time, because it directly followed up krillin and 18’s ending in episode 60 in such a beautiful way

[@Andorvaelis1]

I love seeing AniMelon DBZ content pop up in my list

[@c.clasher]

Actually she did send away the help lol. Yamcha is an expert when it comes to women. I know he's never flirted with them but he knows everything. Hell he even helped Krillin out at the end of the Cell Saga

[@Sunmourn]

these are great, the krillan and 18 date is amazing

[@NeddyMontz]

I feel like Nappa was Vegeta's babysitter, before Frieza blew up Planet Vegeta 🤣🤣🤣

[@timokampwerth1996]

The next short is BY FAR my personal favorite. I love these shorts in general because you barely ever get to see the Dragonball crew in their daily lives when the world is not about to explode. Plus the TFS Characters are much more charismatic than the Original ones

[@harmonicajay91]

I just realized what she meant by "I didn't" after yelling "Get out!" She was referring to Goten, not Yamcha. Lol.

[@CalciumChief]

10:44 "Bear" is a word for a big hairy guy (kinda like Ox King himself), only the joke here is it's an actual bear.

[@Ansible1000]

The joke in the 'deleted scene' is that A 'Bear Cruise' is a cruise where the attendees are all burly, hairy gay men. The Ox King fits the criteria perfectly (although him being gay would be a new development, considering Chi Chi)...but the Dragonball Earth does have animal people, so he's on a Bear Cruise with a literal bear.

[@nether3428]

Was looking through the comments to see if someone else said this. Yeah it's just a big 'ol gay joke lmfao

[@roninikari]

The whole Ox King being gay thing isn't too far a stretch, though... In the original Dragonball series, he was introduced as a figure who intimidated (or ate) anyone coming near his mountain; basically, he's not unfamiliar with putting on a facade because he thinks it's what's expected, not necessarily what he WANTS to do. A person who applies that mentality in one aspect of their life would be somewhat likely to apply it to other aspects, and habits like that are hard to break. So there's that.

[@thehoodedteddy1335]

You know, if you think about it, Vegeta not knowing about contraceptives, not caring about his son as a baby and not caring about being there for his birth and not thinking of how it changes Bulma’s life is very much down to Saiyan culture. Saiyans are a warrior race, so they die a lot, so it would make sense they usually do the deed to have kids so they don’t just die out. They also are implied to remove the baby early on in the pregnancy and put them in incubation pods so the mother usually doesn’t need to go through the hardships of a pregnancy, and can get back into battle sooner. To top it all off, saiyans usually don’t even raise their children, they send them to another planet alone to kill everything there or die trying, and come back for them later if they are successful. All of this combined actually pretty well explains Vegeta’s learning curve of what it means to be a parent in earth culture

[@Bourougne]

_« Huh ... he does look like a little me. »_

[@jestergamedev5551]

YES! Thanks! You're going to love this and HIFL! ALSO: This is what i was waiting for when you said you wanted to see Nappa again xD

[@dirpycatkittymeowmeow9099]

my theory on how bulma met nappa is when bulma is on the business trip. ti hollywood snd where is nappa working at? Hollywood and remembering that they worked together in the past and bulma is worried about trunks she told nappa to help with the baby. I am satisfied with my theory

[@hathorliderc]

Episode 3 is arguably the best one.

[@wakkaseta8351]

Why wouldn't Bulma approve of Nappa? He has a degree in Child Psychology from Saiyan University.

[@smpandlox8036]

These are a great bit of feel good shorts. They put a lot of effort into them, and they are a great way to do their own thing with post cell saga stuff.

[@Liesmith424]

The joke about the "Bear Cruise" is that "bear" refers to a big burly gay guy. So the implication is that Ox King (who could be considered a bear himself if he was gay) is on a gay cruise, but there's a literal bear (because there are animal people in Dragon Ball)--so the cruise might be one for literal bears. Maybe he's gay, or maybe stereotypes are bullshit.

[@Hulkzilla0]

These are fun. I can't wait to see you react to the rest. The next three are my favorites!

[@revangomez1087]

Have you seen the second Christmas special? That one is with evil Santa and is one of my favorites.

[@michaelcarlton1484]

The dumb thing is that Trunks does have an Uncle. Tarble. There is also Bulma's sister, Tights, who only shows up in her own side-story.

[@roninikari]

So...there's a non-zero percent possibility that Nappa, after being revived, married into the Briefs family. ...Would explain how Nappa got together the wherewithal to get into the production business.

[@llawliet7070]

Don't forget about the Christmas special (there is one you haven't seen yet) , though I completely understand if you are waiting until Christmas to do it or closer to it.

[@thechadster251]

You're adorable Hun. Love that you love Abridged. Watched all of your DBZA reaction vids. Always makes me happy to see someone else enjoy the greatness that is TFS. Go team 3 star.

[@mannythegator2938]

You should watch the DBZA commentary videos from Lanipator and KaiserNeko. Super fun content and honestly great dragon ball knowledge drops throughout.

[@storm4389]

in dbza lore nappa is famous and he probably met bulma due to her being rich and famous as well

[@renatoramos8834]

9:09 Notice Yamcha outside.

[@wildkatarn7141]

1:49 😶...that...that explains EVERYTHING.

[@Mearmar]

An overweight, middle aged, hairy gay man would be referred to as a “bear”. A bear cruise is a cruise for said gay men to mingle, and in the dragon ball world, there are anthropomorphic people, so it’s a literal bear, who’s also a hairy gay man. Ox King, a metaphorical bear was on a gay cruise with his partner, a literal, and metaphorical, bear

[@JohnDoe_Gaming]

Yes!!!! Finally onto the shorts!!!

[@brookerickettson4950]

Ya’know, Piccolo called the attack/energy beam!!

[@jsol_03]

Looks like you were confused about the 3rd clip so, Bear is a term for a big hairy gay man like the ox king . But in this they used an actual bear

[@artsyjoe94]

miiiight want to look up the other definition of ''bear'' lmao

[@Necrothep]

TFS and You are such a great combo. I would watch you react to tfs react to their own dbza, so you get more details and jokes you didn't get at first. Plz do that and keep surfing on this incredible wave of joy we all share!

[@felixthescholarlytitan4437]

Nappa knows what he’s doing because he’s already done his ‘do everything wrong because it’s your first time caring for a baby’ with Vegeta. As for who Nappa killed, well depending on how technical you want to get about it, Nappa only directly killed Piccolo. Tien and that Pokémon killed themselves trying to kill or hurt Nappa.

[@fireball1249]

I mean, Nappa did most of the work on Tien. So technicality?

[@felixthescholarlytitan4437]

@@fireball1249 Yeah, but the worse he did was chop off the guys arm. Painful as all hell, sure, but still survivable. It was Tien who used a life draining attack that either killed him outright or caused him to fall unconscious and bleed out. So…

dont forget about HFIL! it's the same animation style as this it takes some getting used to on the eyes but it's still the same hilarious style of humor as the original series.

[@fireball1249]

No, it's not the same Animation Style. This and HFIL have completely different Animators. HFIL is done by DeviArtemis while this one is done by someone else.

[@env0x]

[@alfredgomez3128]

[@saintjimmy9114]

Omgggg these are so cute 😍 I didn't know about these

[@zacharyjoy8724]

YAY! I was waiting for you to start this! You’re in for a real treat! If you care, my favorite moments from these episodes: 3:13 FINAL SPLASH! 8:35 Oh, so it’s not *just* the guys who do this. 10:46 It’s a bit of subtle gallows humor. “Yay! No more Goku! No more Super Saiyan eating up my bank account (Ox King)! Or beating me up (Bear)! Cheers!” By the way, you might also enjoy some of the songs TFS is putting out. “Popo the Genie” is particularly amusing, and reminds us that Goku has pipes. Also, the next episode (#3) is my personal favorite of the series. You’ll probably understand why in no time.

[@Habilonion]

For melon and those unaware, bear is also used as a slang for big burly men that swing towards men if ya get my drift. So tfs was doing a pun.

[@Sephiroth144]

She's a multibillionaire industrialist whose family has been in that business for decades; he's a Hollywood producer, which means part of his job is to get funding for movies. There's a good chance they run in the same circles... (And/or, since he set up the Hetap sponsorship of the Cell Games, he'd be involved with getting Gohan that lifetime supply.)

[@Sephiroth144]

Oh, and both episodes were near Xmas; the picture at the end of Episode 1 was a Xmas picture (complete with sweaters, and Nappa acting as "Santa's Lap") Also, they all take place after the Cell Games.

[@kyraevermoon5544]

Bulma knows Nappa because he comes over and plays video games with Vegeta all the time. Check out Two Saiyans play, it's cool. Well if you like video games.

[@drizma]

A bear is a large hairy gay man, so bear cruise...

[@Ichy3]

Bulma does have a sister that we know very little about so maybe Bulma's sister married Nappa that's how he became her brother

[@OtakuJuanma2]

Bear cruise implies a cruise of hairy large gay men (aka bears or daddybears). But no, that's literally a cruise with a bear.

[@inkpenavengerYT]

I love that Toriyama LITERALLY forgot that Saiyans have tails by the time Trunks and Goten were born. 🤣 And uh... Chi-chi fired that ki blast, not Goten. Lol

[@saphcal]

he didnt forget. he didnt like drawing them so he decided no one after Gohan was even born with a tail to begin with, and that Vegeta and gohans tails would stop growing back on namek because theyre "too strong".

[@kamenanew9867]

3:24 Nappa talking about Freeza Day here, TFS made some holiday parody songs that you should give a listen to! They are: Hey Vegeta, Happy Freeza Day! - Forget what that parodies, sung by Nappa Yamcha the Scar-Faced Bandit - Parody of Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, idk who sings it maybe Lanipator or KaiserNeko(?) Popo the Genie- Parody of Frosty the Snowman, sung by Goku 12 Days of Christmas, TFS version- idk who sings that They also have a couple songs not holiday themed, those are: Grab a Bowl - Parody of Dragon Soul, the DBZA Kai theme song, sung by Goku Just Give Up - A Hamilton parody, sung by Frieza

The music at the end of the first short is a version of "Romantic Ageru Yo", the ending for OG Dragon Ball which is sort of considered Bulma's theme. Also, "bear" is slang for gay men with big hairy bodies.

Man, the fact that Abridged Goku was "there" for Goten's birth but canon Goku wasn't... ayooo

[@The_One_In_Black]

We don't actually know it played out any differently.

[@MarisuSedai]

Missing Goten’s birth is forgivable. It’s what we learn in Buu, that he’s been capable of calling and visiting this whole time and he just chose… not to. Like, Goku, don’t be trying to hug Goten or get him to call you dad. You’re stranger danger as far as he’s concerned.

[@Hawkx10]

There's a DBSA Clip/Short about Pineapple Pizza and would love to see your thoughts during it, I personally believe it's actually amazing but not Microwaved and Pineapple should only be with Ham, nothing else or also Bacon.
