Dragonball Z Abridged Creator Commentary | Plan to Eradicate Christmas 

Piccolo yelling "SLUG!" is because he's still miffed about Slug being forgotten about. He's being a bro and hyping up a fellow Namekian.

Whenever Taka's not on screen, everyone should be asking "Where's Taka?"

Piccolo randomly screaming is one of my favourite gags. To this day, I scream "MOON!!!" whenever I see the full Moon outside.

How DBZA started: *Kaiser reading the disclaimer How DBZA ended: *Kaiser yelling ‘FUCK THIS!’

I loved the joke about Trunks fucking up the timeline in this movie.

I miss Taka. When Taka's not on screen, everybody should be asking, "Where's Taka?"

Why do I always imagine the whole "I have an uncle?" "You HAD an uncle." resulting in Bulma going, "You have an aunt." and Trunks sadly respnding, "I HAD an aunt." Dang Trunk's timeline sucks to live in.

I know the movies take place in their own continuity but I really like the idea that Santa scolding Goku for constantly putting the world in danger is actually what planted the seed for Goku deciding to stay dead by the end of the series. I mean if anyone could teach Goku something and have it stick it’s probably the actual real Santa Clause and literally no one else

Editor Nies’s Notes: Happy Holidays Everyone! Hope you’re having a great weekend and have an even greater 2024! I did also want to confirm that this is the last commentary of 2023. There will be some commentaries scattered throughout 2024 but when and on what will remain a mystery until they happen. I did also want to say thank you again for letting me work on these commentaries for the last 18 months or so. A lot has happened to me in those 18 months, some good, some not. But having these commentaries to work on through it all and to have y’all, one of the greatest group of fans I’ve ever worked for watching these has been an absolute delight. And this isn’t a goodbye, y’all liked my edits too much so now you’re stuck with me :P. But until I see you again, I hope you have a nice day!

I'm surprised they're surprised Bulma has a gun on her house, her literal first interaction with Goku was to shoot him in the head.

I always thought the "African warlords" was just Bulma being a badass and implying that she was gonna go defeat them with technology.

19:18 Lani: screaming his head off Scott: staring, slightly impressed

In fairness, Taka deserved being killed by Haruka after all the trolling they've done to each other.

Huh, so Haruka finally got her himbo hunting license. RIP Taka, dibs on his stuff.

Vegeta's delivery on "you wot mate" and "Shit" are possibly the best line reads in DBZA

YAAAAAY Buu Bits commentary coming! What a great Christmas present!!! Merry Christmas everyone!

"Bulma's packin" Well, Duh. She shoot a small monkey boy with her gun the first time she saw Goku in the first chapter of the manga...when she was 15.

I just love Vegetas shit eating grin he gives "Santa" when "Santa" talks about all the horrible things Vegeta has done. Man is proud of how horrible he was. Also his excited exclamation of how he did infact hit Santa is great.

I watched this with my niece last week. She is 3 and this was her first time watching anything Dragon Ball. She kept trying to take my phone to watch Goku fight Santa.

One small nitpick I have about this series is that you guys made me say goodbye to it like three times in a row 😭

Thank you TFS for letting Frieza and Cooler actually interact. With what we get it's perfect. "Looks like all you'll be getting this year is coal for Christmas" "Frieza Day!" "F*CK!!! OFF!!"

“Why did you just stand there?” “Ha ha, it was the last thing he’d expect” “Merry Christmas, dad” 😂😂😂

always really loved Bulma and Goku's interaction at 22:22. you'd think she'd get insulted goku interrupted her but no, she's just happy he kinda gets it. when you guys play on them being besties, it's the greatest

For those wondering, that last music bit is an arrangement of Weird Al's "The Night Santa Went Crazy"

That's actually kind of genius. Piccolo is a living trinity - the father, son, and "holy" spirit.

Fun fact: "Vegetable" is not a scientific classification, it's based on how it's used in cooking. Therefore something can be both a fruit botanically, and a vegetable culinarily.

Lani just made me look up if corn is actually considered a fruit. I will never be the same after acquiring this knowledge

The "you know how fond Father was of jokes!" "that's why he had you second, PUNCHLINE!" is one of my favorite goddamn jokes ever and I even quoted it in a fanfiction I wrote earlier this year (different fandom) because it's so good.

As much as it pains me to say, the christmas spirit bit gave me chills. Goku saying "And most of all, It's not about you" is one of the coldest things TFS Goku has ever said, especially given his adoration of Santa through the whole DBZA timeline

That is Asuna. I didn't recognize her voice. Probably because she wasn't threatening to burn down her best friend's house.

34:15 the only way to beat a heavily telegraphed attack is with your own heavily telegraphed attack

I always thought Bulma was taking off to eliminate the warlords.

"He had that evilness that just seeps through and I was like... damn, we got our Santa." DBZA ladies, gents, and that technocolor rainbow in-between.

The dragon ball super ad was easily one of the best jokes you guys have ever come up with. The comedic timing of it is perfection.

I always interpreted the Bulma line as her going to buy baby blood, but the curing naughtiness intent is good to know, lol

to make African warlords less evil? I thought she was going to buy more baby blood.

2:23 This is why you piss Haruka off at your own peril. Sad that Taka had to learn the hard way. Also SHE'S A *CARIBOU* GODDAMNIT

The whole “Gohan you’re a minor” joke is funny because before he clarified that Goku meant “minor character” I still thought it worked. Gohan is a kid. Piccolo is technically still underage. And for Bulma, it’d be funny if he still believed Bulma was 16 or 18 at her insistence.

A final goodbye to the main DBZA series. Thank you all from the TFS team and the rest of the extended cast & friends who made it as enjoyable and rewatchable as it is. The amount of times I have gone back to rewatch the series, and even just listen to it as if it was a podcast is, unfortunately embarrassingly high. And now w/ the commentary playlist, I have something new to listen to at work when the music just isn't doing it right and I need a spark of life. Thank you for the laughs, cheers, and jeers. Much love 🖤

19:50 Frieza : " So, Monkeys ! " Turles : " Dudeeee ! " Gohan : " And the racism ! "

Love that the Haruka Moose joke has ascended to the point that even these 2 called her a Moose

Rip Taka, I hope the Moose is brought to justice 😔

Thank you all for bringing us these commentaries. This year has been kind of rough for me emotionally but even when at my worst, I could always go back to these to have a good time. MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL. AND TO ALL A GOOD FIGHT

A moose once bit Taka... No realli! He was Karving his initials on the moose with the sharpened end of an interspace toothbrush given him by Svenge-his brother-in-law- an Oslo dentist and star of many Norwegian movies: "The Hot Hands of an Oslo Dentist", "Fillings of Passion", "The Huge Molars of Horst Nordfink"... Mynd you, moose bites Kan be pretti nasti...

Me and my brothers always end up using the bickering between frieza and cooler whenever we meet up for christmas. As the oldest, id say "Dad got it right the first time." my younger brother would say "Well, you gotta get the prototype finished to work out the kinks for the finished model.", with my youngest brother coming out of nowhere saying "Outta my way you factory defects! The presents are calling my name!" Lovely time of year for us misfits XD

This reimagining of Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans into a Christmas special is equal parts funny, entertaining, and genuinely wholesome. That remix of Carol of the Bells had no reason to go so hard.

Frieza and Cooler’s dialogue is some of the best back-and-forth quipping you guys have ever written. I’m so happy we’re getting more of it in HFIL!

18:37 My favourite of Piccolo's gratuitous screaming is: "this is supposed to be a place of fun!"

The very final thing ever being said in the creator's commentary being "Watch things with me in it!" and 'F__k this!' is the TFS energy I live for.

Nies is the absolute G.O.A.T. for editing the most watchable commentaries ever for over a year. So happy to see this channel get a second wind. I absolutely wouldn't have checked out all the other content on here if not for these commentaries, so I hope to see more fun stuff with all the crew again throughout 2024. Again, Nies is the fucking G.O.A.T.

So underrated, but when Evil Santa is like, " You fools! You cannot kill Santa!" And Goku says "I KNEW IT!" That might be one of the things that made me laugh hardest, not just in this special, but in the whole series; tonal, visual perfection right there Edit: oh, and 32:43, just fucking slayed me

I remember that crunchyroll joke breaking me when I first saw this. Well played, and Merry Christmas everyone!

So Haruka finally got him. RIP Taka.

"What?! That's crazy! How could I ever endanger the entire universe?" My favorite joke in the movie😂

I'm going to miss these commentaries, didn't realize how much of my routine on Saturday these had become until now but just wanted to say thank you nor just for the amazing DBZA series but also the reflection back on it with these weekly episodes.

I cannot tell you how much I was confused when you guys did this movie. I had never seen it before and I initially suspected that it was entirely new animation because of how weird it looked.

Fun fact: the plural form of Moose is Moose

OH MY GOD IF YOU GUYS EVER DID THE TARBLE SPECIAL IT WOULD HAVE BEEN A HILARIOUS THANKSGIVING JOKE

You know… the “Yo! Son Goku and His Friends Return” movie would make a fun Thanksgiving video…

25:12 editors note: IT DOES!! Bro i love the editors, cheers to them

"Merry Christmas for Vegeta!" Vegeta was so in character this whole video. Thanks again for the laughs and memories.

wow you guys have gone through every episode, every movie, every special, and even every kai but for some reason we still don't know where the scouter came from

Thanks for the commentaries, guys! It's been fun to follow along with you, and getting to hear all of the anecdotes and explanations and all the behind the scenes stories have been genuinely entertaining. DBZA meant a lot to me and continues to mean a lot, and I'm glad you guys made as much of it as you did! I can't wait to see the commentary on the Buu Bits and to see all of the new stuff moving forward.

The Christmas specials were always my favorites of DBZA. You guys took something and made it into something else truly your own. And it’s gold.

"terrible moose incident" i knew it had to be haruka also hell yeah this specail was so good, also as takas not here to call out the (not simpsons but matt groening work) when you were talking about trying not to copy other christmas jokes, the gohan present was basically zoidberg getting a pogostick from robot santa

Cooler's "FUCK! OFF!" always finds me 😂

It has been a wonderful ride throughout the year! Thank you guys so much!

I’m surprised you didn’t talk about the custom animation more in this. This might actually be some of my favorite that was done for DBZA! Goku’s face when Santa comes back lives in my head rent free 😂

"I got him Merry Christmas for Vegeta" "Vegeta No" "Vegeta Yes!"

Still hoping that the Cell VS series gets covered cuz that shit was gold

Thank you for the commentaries! This has been a wonderful year learning about the behind-the-scenes.

Thank you Team4Star for all the commentary!

“Pa rum pum pum pummeled” the first time I watched this had me laughing to tears.

TBH, This Movie’s Plot is better than Plan to eradicate the Saiyans. Merry Christmas TFS Crew!

Thank you so much for these commentaries ❤ I’ve so loved this journey with you again. Happy holidays one and all!

Its been a great walk down memory lane and thank you guys for everything. As for the other stuff you guys make, i love watching and rewatchong all the four star bento content, the last bento bar was great and those stakes were high.

22:15 I’ve noticed an audio error where you’ll hear Santa saying “Garland Gun” and at 32:15 you’ll only hear Lani saying it.

I love how twisted this sounds ,when you isolate it: "I love the evilness that is seeping through. And I'm like damn, that's our Santa." Ah yes, just how I like my Santa, evil and with an edge to him.

thanks for a wonderfull series and commentary you guys have given us of my favorite series ever honestly... thanks for your work and passion

love you guys, this was one of my favorite specials.

Thinking back upon it the night this video was released I was sitting in the hospital watching my older brother with his eyes open for the first time in several weeks. He had an incident and was in a medical coma since the week of thanksgiving, went septic and had renal failure throughout his body, and was given a less than 50% prognosis of surviving let alone returning to a normal life. Between that and my personal life becoming a personal hell I was such a shitty place at the time being that I was leaning towards that regrettable mistake. This video and my brothers eyes that day were some beacons of hope from a very dark place and it's been 6 years and I still think back to that evening

I need to see what these guys would do with the Dragonball special that introduced Vegeta’s brother Tarble. That’s my Christmas wish!

You guys are awesome. As long as you keep making things I'll keep tuning in!

Merry Christmas and happy holidays to all those at tfs you guys have no idea how you have made all of us laugh, cry and all around taken us any problems we're dealing with. Thank you for all that you do

The best thing about this special was that we got to see Frieza and Cooler interact with each other for the first time.

It's funny how you see the energy difference. Doing all those commentaries in one or two sittings definitely took a toll.

I was never super into this special when it came out but seeing how much fun you guys had with it really made me appreciate it so much more. You guys did a good job. Hope all of you and yours have a very good holiday season.

Thanks, (again.) for the laughs and nostalgia these past 15 months. Happy holidays :)

It's honestly surreal how many ways this works as a Christmas special.

As you all can see......We're not dealing with an average Christmas video/special anymore🎁🎄🎁🎅

This commentary series has been a ride, & I'm glad to have went through it all recently! got so much insight & y'all really honed your craft through this series, i've so much respect for the team

Thank you for the commentary videos, I can't wait to see what else you guys decide to do. I hope you all have a great holiday break and a happy New Year

The amount of original animation and all the changes they made, even referencing the old OVA, impresses me so much, Scott is an editing GOD

You guys don’t need to be thanking us, we should be thanking you for all of the joy you have brought us over the years. Grateful to have been able to watch the show and your writing develop over the years.

Loved and looked forward to every commentary of TFSA... It was a nice reminisce but also jam packed full of information! It felt like it was my first watch all over again!

Once again I wanna thank you for taking us all on this ride and I am happy to have watched it. Have a happy hollidays and we’ll see you for whatever the future brings.

it's oddly fitting for Lani to have issues calling people by names other than the first one he knew them by when he plays Prince "his name is Kakarot, and I will never* call him Go-" [dry heave] "you know what I'm not calling him." Vegeta. *narrator voice: "he would call him Goku at least once eventually."

OMG haruka being called a moose on TFS official channel is my christmas gift.

Waited for Christmas Day to watch this... thanks for doing the thing that you had been doing, one more time. Merry Christmas all :)

Thank you for doing this. The past year hasn't been kind but these videos made it easier. Thank you
