before we get to the video one of the
let you guys know we're having a huge
clearance sale on the website just
counts over 50% off on everything you
could think of hats shirts drinkware
you name it so click the link in the
description and head over there and
check it out
anime or them they're Japanese cartoons
as poop stick calls them is notorious
for having bad ass fight scenes full of
unique special attacks from awesome
giant robots blowing each other up with
sweet moves like Giga drill breaker -
martial artists shooting beams of energy
out of their hands and summoning literal
spirit bombs anime has it all but sadly
for every awesome attack there is at
least one really really really stupid
attack and today we're gonna make fun of
them I'm Jocelyn the intern I do all the
research nobody else wants to straight
from the desk Oh a lot of times the move
itself doesn't necessarily have to suck
to qualify as stupid sometimes you just
need a really dumb name our first
example comes from none other than
Dragon Ball Z at the very beginning of
the series Raddatz showed up and boy oh
boy was he pretty damn it intimidating I
mean this guy was from a race of space
warriors that sent their babies out into
space alone to destroy planets not only
is that like really horrible parenting
but it's super freaking metal too so
needless to say we were all pretty
stoked to see what sweet moves bred it
spat up his gauntlets sadly Raddatz
didn't live up to the hype when he
unleashed his killer move keep your eyes
on the birdie I call this one here keep
your eyes on the birdie
yeah it was pretty lame but that was
just the ocean dub the Funimation
version has the correct and somehow
equally stupid name double Sunday okay
seriously double Sunday
I mean piccolo has a move called hyper
explosive demon wave and we're supposed
to be afraid of a guy whose move sounds
like a crappy you to cover band yeah a
fat chance
luckily piccolo blew a hole in him and
we never had to deal with that again but
that's not the end of stupid moves in
DBZ uh-huh no for whatever reason all
the warriors in this world can just blow
themselves up at will remember chiaotzu
he self-destructed on nappa Vegeta did
it to boo like what the hell guys first
off what poor bastard figured this move
out
was he just meditating super hard and
then suddenly they exploded secondly how
did the knowledge get passed on third
you got to be pretty confident that
you're gonna be able to pull this off
first try because you sure as hell can't
practice it speaking of things no one
should practice let's talk about
Naruto's sexy jutsu I mean come on this
has to be one of the dumbest moves in
anime sure it kind of saves the day at
the end of the series but whatever
points it earns there it loses because
Naruto keeps teaching this [ __ ] to kids
why are you teaching children about this
Naruto why alright but that's all
yesteryears anime what about something
more modern well let's take a look at my
hero academia in a world of Heroes which
can shoot
Aaron eyes out of their hands punch so
hard they create tornadoes or create
matter destroying black holes there is a
young man named Minoru Mineta and he he
has sticky balls yeah you see those
stupid purple balls on his head well
those are sticky and he can rip them off
and use them for stuff yeah I mean props
to the little guy for using them to the
best of his ability but yet damn is that
a lame power plus your head just looks
like giant grapes dude sure people like
grapes I like grapes but not enough to
want him his hair it's just weird
the only thing worse would be if your
head was like a speech bubble or
something oh yeah Fuki dashi how the
hell does he eat or breathe or drink or
like any of the things people do with
their mouths no one knows and we'll
probably never know anyway those are
just a few of the many many stupid moves
in anime hey let us know your personal
favorites in the comments below
fun fact there are two types of people
in the world the first type are people
who admit to having mimicked doing a
sweet kamehameha in real life the second
type are liars because we've all tried
it all so boomstick told me I should
talk about booze ability to turn people
into candy but boomstick is totally
wrong loose cannon is one of the dopest
moves ever I mean think about it you get
to defeat your enemy and you get a piece
of candy what's not perfect about that
stop trying to ruin my show boomstick
