Saw this thread on Twitter and it got me thinking: How does this fucking series still get so much love?
It was funny about 10 years ago when I was 14 but now, to say it doesn't hold up feels like I'm going too easy. I'd be lying if I said there weren't things I liked about Abridged but between the self fellating by the YouTubers behind it, the blatant copyright infringement behind selling DBZ logos as your own merch and the steady stream of SJW bullshit that started leaking into the scripts, shit was just bad yo.
Talking about it on the bird website is always fun because you meet a lot of people who grew up with their little dub and remember it as some kind of comedic masterpiece, who then get offended that you don't feel the same way. Right now, the popular (wrong) take is that it kept the franchise alive in the late 00s and should be credited with the existence of Super.
Here's one particuarly insane tweet that I wanted to share
Gives me a headache just to look at.
