Pat Reads DBZ Fan Fiction: SBFC

[@rarararara9099]

"the show's pacing is really, sorry the fan fiction's pacing" lol

[@Grubbo]

Ah, but since he's also talking about a modified Dragon Ball Z, he could've just mixed it up that way! The masquerade continues!

[@masonloc]

I love how woolie asks pat early on what the fanfiction is called and pat just ignores him because if he answered, it would ruin the entire segment.

[@xxxbc42]

Woolie "...so they're just FUSED?" Pat " ya basically" Woolie was so close

[@SteelBallRun1890]

Back when I heard this, he has me on bait the whole time until he mentioned Rebecca Sugar, then my mind just imploded in upon itself when I realized that Pat was playing me like a goddamn fiddle then cut my strings. The fact that Pat managed this charade for 8 minutes straight is something noteworthy.

[@psychicjellyfish9466]

I caught on the moment he said "Fusion"

[@fireboykez]

It took me a while to realize what he was talking about

[@JackgarPrime]

Probably the only time I ever wished I actually watched Steven Universe, if only so I could have it dawn on me that he was secretly talking about it.

[@Animenite97]

I caught when he talked about future vision, but I didn't think he was JUST talking about Steven Universe.

[@nexusgiga]

Rohan Kishibe and 『Heaven's Door』 if pat plans it through he’s a fucking genius

[@spookhyskeleton]

HE PLAYED US LIKE A DAMN FIDDLE!

[@ThatOneDudeWhoPostsStuff]

sounds gay

[@SteveJonesGamingGWO]

Start talking bitch!

[@NamesSmeg]

I perked my ears the moment he said dead beat dad working a failing carwash.

[@jakirakumahata5701]

Goku runs a carwash as a deadbeat dad? Huh, that sounds a bit like...wait...

[@goodninji8]

like...?

[@liamclarke91]

Like canon. Except he's a radish farmer, so even more of a deadbeat than Greg?

[@stephensmith7327]

Jakira Kumahata when he said that I just thought that the "fan fiction" writer jus watched a bunch of Steven Universe and put some elements into the fan fic.

[@Garf2O]

sounds like a lot of hoopla

[@TheOtogi]

That sounds about right

[@diviforrester6003]

2:28 He almost blew it...

[@whailman]

Pat: Master of the Work

[@Regnart_Seht]

I was so close to leaving half way through the video. I had clicked away, but the last line I heard led me to believe that Woolie and Liam were about to say something funny, since they were making fun of Pat at that point, so I clicked back and listened to the rest of the video. Pat. You got me. You got them. You got us all. You got it. You fucking got it.

[@NoOneOfInterest]

You know, when I first listened to this, I was super invested in Pat's weird DBZ fanfic, and didn't suspect a GODDAMN THING until "Gohan's portrayal as like a 6-year-old kid with a star on his shirt." It was at that point that I, having literally JUST watched all of SU, lost my fucking shit. Seriously the greatest bait I have ever had the pleasure of choking on. I've never been worked harder. You got me so fucking good. You got Woolie and Liam so good that they didn't even realize it until you spelled it out for them. You genius motherfucker, Pat. I will never forget this ultimate con.

[@BroudbrunMusicMerge]

FUCK! That was genius...

[@knightofmobius6777]

+Steven Rodriguez lol yeah. I mean that when he said goku had a carwash, I was like "this is Steven Universe".

[@Poodlekisses]

I thought about it but I didn't put it together because he was so goddamn convincing, hahaha

[@SideswipePrime606]

+Knight of Mobius I figured it out when he said that Gohan had a star on his chest.

[@fireboykez]

I was suspicious at that point but I thought he was joking about the carwash

[@KyleKatarn145]

I was listening to this at work for the first time (shop closed but Im there 2 hours after, replenishing stock), and I was in hysterics at this part. He played me like a damn fiddle.

[@Sapheiorus]

This bit is the fucking best. Thank you for turning it into a clip~

[@SennenTafkae]

oh my god *PAT YOU PIECE OF SHIT.* i died laughing, i'm dead now

[@devanmuse]

I wish I'd caught onto this earlier than I did. I only raised the eyebrow when he said Gohan was treated like a "fat kid with a star on his chest."

[@S2O0N0I9C]

Well played Pat...well played...

[@rodney2x48]

The moment he said ''runs a car wash'' I just knew. I FUCKING KNEW IT. He put clever hints in there and these guys didn't even fucking notice it. Pat, you fucking genius.

[@limerslimer]

Honestly this is the moment that made me fall in love with the SBFC. I'd been casually listening to the Podcast in reverse order (starting at the episode called ALL THE WARRIORS [unsure of the exact episode number, too lazy to check]) while working at a garden centre over the summer. I was on my own sweeping flower petals and giggling to myself at the idea of Pat reading DBZ fanfic, but marked the fuuck out when he dropped the bomb.

[@The_Canuck]

Listening to this again now that Rebecca Sugar's DBZ Fanfiction has ended. Pat's swerve at the end is what got me to watch the show in the first place. All in all, I really enjoyed it.

[@LE0NSKA]

what a fucking masterful performance that was, holy shit :D

[@terellcase4445]

this is my favorite pat moment

[@paragonjones13]

Ok, wow, that completely tricked me. I'm a fan of the show and I didn't for a second pick up on it. I even thought, of well that's kinda funny, Greg runs a carwash too. Gah, I'm so stupid.

[@OfTheOverflow]

Greg of Kinda Funny runs a carwash?

[@JagrasSneedandFeed]

I've been fucking had. The entire time, "this is really familiar.."

[@luisalamo-rivera5787]

This was actually what finally convinced me to watch the show :P

[@tylergregoire1763]

How do you feel about it now?

[@aptspire]

I was had completely. Pat is 10/10 with the BSing.

[@gunmunz]

When Pat said piccolo/tien could see the future am I the only one thought 'I CAN SEE THE FUTURE!!!'

Oh pat, you troll.

[@keyblade126]

All I have to ask is "How?" How did you piece the two together, and how long did that take?

[@logandh2]

[@SaltedMallows]

Oh my fucking god Pats too good at story telling. I knew something was up when he said Deadbeat dad goku owns a carwash

[@Sirgreen57]

This was INFINITELY funnier the second time through

[@socksnbox]

Now THIS...is what I call "podcast funsies"

[@Used__Napkin]

It gets better after the second listen

[@Mlow44]

When I first listened to this I didn't realize what Pat was talking about until he mentioned the Car Wash. I had only recently watched Steven Universe so it was still fresh in my mind, and that was the first thing I thought when he said "car wash."

[@grinkobaba9226]

I was trying to fall asleep to this, but I was totally getting invested in the story and it was making me want to watch dragon ball z again, and right when Pat said "Rebecca Sugar" my eyes shot open.

[@TomBombadil168]

This made me watch this fanfiction, no regrets.

[@Fleeting_Thoughts]

This might be my favorite thing Pat’s ever done. He played the long con and TOTALLY got me

[@GigachadVTuberEnjoyer]

Pretending a show you watched is a fanfiction is a good gimmick. Re-listening to this knowing it is pretty good too, pat did a good job. Wonder if he still keeps up with it

[@El_Rabbit]

That was fucking genius! When pat was talking about goku like a loser with a carwash i was "oh, sounds like Greg". Very good played

[@tommy_darc]

I didn't even know he was talking about Steven Universe and I was just thinking to myself during this entire explanation, "This is the worst thing I've ever heard in my entire life."

[@Crouza]

As someone from the future, not only am I glad that pat got what he wanted plot wise. But I can say that the DBZ X SU parallels are still there. Short alien who they beat ends up joining the team. XD

[@Bizarrejoe]

+Alakai Souza That came to earth with a bigger, seemingly stronger alien. Who we will see for a few episodes and we'll never see again.

[@nexusgiga]

Except videl gets Hogan’s outfit

[@Blandco]

"runs a carwash" Yeah that confused me until the end.

[@inimus9737]

Vegeta is the perfect Peridot.

[@flammableghost]

It wasn't the story, it was the effort to tell it that made it magical. all for that switcheroo.

[@AKAProm]

all that for a switcheroo meant for Matt but he wasn't there.

I want to do a TemporalTakemi-style video of this part of the friendcast, but I wouldn't even know how to start...

[@Hitorio]

I actually got into this exact fanfic and kinda ignored it after not being impressed with the first part. Pat has convinced me to re-read it. I like his presentation of it.

[@badarbiter]

+rioshu He was very much correct, the first like, ten episodes aren't great. Then it starts to pick up. Then episode 25 hits with the actual story and it becomes AMAZING.

[@nexusgiga]

The Best Got em ever on that Podcast lol

[@logandh2]

I've honestly never wholeheartedly believed a lie so hard and felt so fucking betrayed in my entire life

[@NateRiversforRever]

Those hint drops though.

[@Sapheiorus]

3:39 There is, but which one are we talking about? Guldo with an engineering degree? Or is it Android 18, who for some reason has the power to control water? I think people love both of those, but the writer has sort of put Android 18 in a "Cell" (hur hur) while keeping him submerged, so the attention is probably more on Guldo. Funny enough, the way Cell has been imprisoned works better than shouting "KIKOUHOU" over and over again, but Android 18 won't hold him off forever.

[@zurichRevolts]

jasper is vegeta in this analogy. engineer-guldo is a better fit for peridot as a character, but since pat is wrong about all the characters anyway (pearl = krillin?), she's nappa. lapiz is supposed to be raditz. really, the whole thing falls apart because pat just forces completely different characters into similar roles. i could buy gohan turning out like steven if he's raised by goku instead of chi-chi, but why did videl do a 180? garnet works as tien/piccolo, and jasper works as vegeta. the rest are totally wrong

[@Sapheiorus]

It's just like how they call every old and decrepit thing "Rick Flair" in LPs. It doesn't have to be a perfect fit, it just has to have *anything* in common with the attribution. Frankly, I'm not complaining about Pat's analogy. I'll admit that I decided to ignore some of his analogies for the sake of my own. As for "wrongness"... what do you want from me or him?

[@zurichRevolts]

i was complaining about pat, not you. in fact, i said you were right when pat was wrong. the first part was just discussing who was who in pat's version. the second part was saying that pat was oversimplifying and even changing characters and story elements. the ric flair thing is a joke. pat thinks (or at least thought) that this was a valid analogy. he constantly says "it's just dragonball" when he's selling the show to woolie. this was not supposed to be an argument

[@Sapheiorus]
