Protip: Ignore anyone with "DBZ" opinions who talks about authorial intent. The entire manga series is called "Dragon Ball" with no "Z" and chances are they're going to bring up stuff not written by Akira Toriyama as the anime, especially the dubs, are very much known to screw with the tone. Dragon Ball Super too even though it's gotten better about it as it's an adaptation of a manuscript Toriyama wrote and that show has a handful of cases of backtracking because the staff misunderstood him.

Not to be some 300 IQ elitist or it's deep, Toriyama thinks puns and poop jokes are peak comedy. The anime was one of the earlier hits with bringing anime west and was too popular to shake off all the oddities due to it being changed to appeal to 90s kids.

In every Toriyama work (except of Chrono Trigger/Cross) and talking specifically about Dragon Quest (with the 11th the finest example), yeah; you're right about those literally shit jokes.

He talks like there's some mysterious faceless group known as "The Japanese" behind it instead of one goofy man as writer/artist you can just google and get interviews of. Toriyama's very open about his "writing at the edge of his pants" style and editors always being on his case. Ignoring it's not his style, the Android stuff isn't going to have any big sociopolitical commentaries on fatherhood or whatever when it had to change direction at least 4 times due to editorial whims. First "no one cares about an old man and a clown", "No one wants these twins", "Your bug man is too ugly, he should transform", etc.

Toriyama's the kind of writer who is as in the dark about where his story's going as the reader.

Dragonball was written every week by the seat of Toriyama's pants, often in two or three days. There is nothing particularly deep about it.

It's literally the biggest case of "right place, right time" that has ever happened.
 
Florida has failed. Put it in the obsolete bin:

Well Bob is right about Florida being a failed state, but its not because they voted for Trump and might go for him again this election. Florida is a failed state because for some reason a putrid, gator infested swampland became the home for every drug addicted whack-job in the country. King and Bob are mad that Florida dares defy their political views while the rest of the country laughs when the morning zoo talks abut the latest shirtless meth-head who robbed a Publix with a live aligator and made his getaway on a stolen tricycle.

Bobby gets worked up over Trump being nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize:

I love how he brings out "student athlete water polo champ" in describing this "douchbag"
All jocks are evil douchebags in Bobs mind because thats what 80s movies taught him.

People have been spoofing Oscar baits for eons now. Nothing has changed.

In addition to DBZ, here is another anime that Bobby totally didn't watch:

Yeah no. Team Rockets boss Giovanni wasn't some progressive woke tranny ally and Jessie and James crossdressing wasn't some proto-progressive virtue signaling for gender fluidity and transexuality. It was basic role reversal comedy where the girl is the more violent and dominant who dresses in masculine clothes while her gentler male partner dresses in female clothing because seeing a man in a dress is funny and our heroes falling for James obvious crossdressing is funny. Its funny because Jessie and James dress differently than what you'd expect based on their sexes, not something you clap too because James put on fake boobs once to rig a beauty contest.

Mulan. You are allowed to diss Mulan as long as you do it for woke points, such as the absence of an Asian director, the "hipster appropriation" of the Chi concept, and enforcing male notions of value.

Bobby is white-knighting the reviewer for reason only known to himself:
View attachment 1584483
Lol. Bobs been jumping around like a frog with its ass on fire after the rest of the Internet started pointing out how problematic Mulan is from its western-centric take on the story to Disney thanking the people who run the Uyghur concentration camps in the credits. He's torn between wanting to kiss up with the progressive cool kids club on YouTube that includes Asian women who were born with vaginas, and instinctivly praising a mindless action film that stimulates his smooth brain in all the right ways.

I'm guessing hes still angry that Rise of Skywalker discarded pretty much everything Last Jedi did so his "Rey is a fangirl/nerd who saves the day" interpretation isn't viable and he blames people on the internet instead of the directors and producers who had different ideas for the Star Wars franchise and turned the Sequels into a muddled mess. He attacks the fans and the little guy instead of holding the people in charge responsible due to his elitist views. The experts in charge can do no wrong while the masses need to have their voices taken away because they dare question whats going on.
 
Sorry if this is too off-topic, but I think this is Bob's theme song:


I saw this guy open for They Might Be Giants about 10 years ago, and just happened to hear this song the other night after not hearing it in almost as long. The lyrics are so Bob.


I'll probably be some kind of scientist
Building inventions in my space lab in space
I'll end world hunger I'll make dolphins speak
Work through the daytime, spend my nights and weekends
Perfecting my warrior robot race
Building them one laser gun at a time
I will do my best to teach them
About life and what it's worth
I just hope that I can keep them from destroying the Earth

Cause it's gonna be the future soon
And I won't always be this way
When the things that make me weak and strange get engineered away
It's gonna be the future soon
I've never seen it quite so clear
And when my heart is breaking I can close my eyes and it's already here

 
I swear to god that DBZ Abridged did more harm than good for the DBZ fandom. It made spergs believe that there were deeper themes and insights into the franchise than there actually are.

The trouble is, spergs will always do that even unprompted. TVtropes is patient zero in this case. At least the TFS guys made a buck off it.
 
I want Bob to watch Monster Musume.
Don't give this thirsty weirdo any ideas.

SEGUE!

It really is fun to watch Billy-Bob try to desperately defend a movie that China panned hard because of his yellow fever and his cultish devotion to the company that owns EPCOT aka his holy site. Seriously, the movie wasn't great, especially if you compare it to the original, or a legit wuxia film.

EPCOT's Future World has been fucking dead for 20 years and COVID-19 killed any chance of the refurb they planned ever coming to fruition.

The only reason to go to that miserable hellzone anymore is to get drunk at World Showcase.
 
A bit off topic, but I've been noticing that recently Bob has been out-Bob'd by other lolcows.

As much as we laugh at Bob's constant claims of losing 70lbs, Jim Sterling has started wearing a skirt he's so fat.
I've heard of Vaush, who (I'm told) will skim wikipedia articles on stream and claim to be knowledgeable on a given subject.
Then there's Dobson's lesbian fetish which has been referenced by people in this thread calling Bob "MovieDob" when he does it.
If another lolcow starts wishing death on rural America, Bob will be obsolete as a lolcow.

Bob (and every other lefty screaming about this) had no idea who that guy was until he nominated Trump for the peace prize.

"you can must you were into Pokemon, MovieBob."
It's like I'm having a stroke mid just from trying to read it. What's weird is that Bob understood it perfectly.
