TeamFourStar launched Dragon Ball Z Abridged in 2008 as a fan parody series on YouTube, re-dubbing the anime with comedic writing and voices. In their version, Nappa returns after his death as Ghost Nappa who haunts Vegeta, leading to the endless Vegeta chant that became one of the show's signature running gags. Clips of the moment spread across YouTube, forums, and soundboards during the early meme era, and fans still quote it whenever a character will not stop calling someone's name for attention.
