STOP MOCKING ME!!!
Goku's journey down to King Kai's runs into a few snags. First, he falls off of Snake Way and ends up in Hell, which is full of German, campy ogres. Then, after escaping, he runs afoul of Princess Snake, who's hungry for some meat...
Back on Earth, the rest of the Z-fighters learn the "Pecking order" from Mr. Popo. Meanwhile, Piccolo learns more than he ever wanted to know about what happens when a tailed Saiyan sees the full moon.
Alright, maggots, listen up! Popo's about to teach you the tropes of this episode:
- Adaptational Angst Upgrade: In this version, Piccolo only destroyed the Moon in a fit of mania. Though he does acknowledge that all Saiyans can turn into the Oozaru form, he never put two and two together that it was connected to the Moon.
- Are We There Yet?: Nappa starts bugging Vegeta with this in a second stinger.
- Establishing Character Moment: We learn everything we need to know about Popo when he introduces himself to the Earth Warriors.Mr. Popo: Alright, maggots, listen up! Popo's about to teach you the pecking order. It goes: you, the dirt, the worms inside of the dirt, Popo's stool, Kami, then Popo. Any questions?
Krillin: Um...yeah, I—
(THWACK)
Krillin: AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH...!!!
Krillin Owned Count: 3
Popo: Enjoy the climb back up, BITCH! Now are there any more questions?
(Beat)
Popo: Good. Then we can begin. - Hilarious Outtakes: A deleted scene video
was released showing Goku jumping over one of Snake Way's maintenance vehicles. The driver gets distracted, and drives the vehicle off Snake Way, falling into HFIL and landing on Goz.- And if Black Comedy is your thing, it also shows Princess Snake's servant blowing her brains out when she realizes Princess Snake isn't coming back.
- Shout-Out: Princess Snake here is one to Metal Gear Solid, complete with a Codec conversation and being voiced by the same actor that voiced Snake in Metal Gear Abridged.
- The Stinger: Piccolo gloats that "wanton destruction" has solved his problems with no repercussions. We then cut to Kame House, where Master Roshi, Bulma, Oolong and Puar are watching a news report that the destruction of the moon has caused catastrophic tidal shifts, killing hundreds of millions, including Sailor Moon.
- This Is for Emphasis, Bitch!: Popo, after ejecting Krillin from the Lookout for daring to even attempt to ask a question.
