Considering that the Team Four Star guys adamantly hate Broly and everything the character stands for (well, at least until "Dragon Ball Super: Broly" came out), it's pretty ironic that their Abridged parody of "Broly -- The Legendary Super Saiyan" ranks among their funniest material.
As with pretty much all of their content, there's some cringey dud jokes and lapses in quality. The fact that there's less reliance on the tired old TFS gags like the "character tries to be funny but gets cut off by the villain" cliche or the painfully worn-down recurring "brick jokes" in favour of more creative, organic attempts at humour makes this one stand out. That, and the fact that they're so self-aware with how they handle Broly in all his poorly-motivated glory.
Vegeta's egotistical antics as the King of New Planet Vegeta are of course a big highlight. Considering that the way they used to write Vegeta was pretty predictable and unfunny, they've managed to make him an all-time favourite. For the record, though, very little of TFS's work reaches above the 7 or 8/10 margins for me (certain episodes of the Cell Saga and DBZ Kai Abridged being the exceptions), and chances are if you're an avid fan of their work then it's gonna be a no brainer to see this instalment.
