Most people see fan-art mash-ups and check out—but McHone actually *commits* to the absurdity, letting Goku and video-game characters operate under their own logic instead of winking at the audience about how ridiculous it is. That's the move that makes it work: he's not nostalgic-ironic, he's genuinely strange.
A competent exercise in character assembly and comedic timing, though it lacks the formal restraint or visual sophistication that would elevate it beyond a well-executed homage—the animation serves the gag rather than creating tension between form and content.
The real craft lives in the editing rhythm; McHone finds the exact beat to cut between character reactions and action, using the inherent visual personality of each borrowed character as a built-in punchline without over-explaining the joke.
