DRAGON BALL Z ABRIDGED LEAVE THE BASKET MEME MAKER
ORIGIN & LORE
Dragon Ball Z Abridged (DBZA) is a legendary fan-parody series created by TeamFourStar, debuting in 2008. This iconic scene features the villain Imperfect Cell, voiced by Curtis 'Takahata101' Arnott, during his initial terror spree in Ginger Town. In the clip, Cell confronts a terrified civilian and, with a chillingly polite yet demanding tone, instructs her to 'Leave the basket' before he proceeds to absorb her. The absurdity of a bio-android monster caring about the preservation of a wicker basket created an instant comedy classic within the anime community. This clip is frequently used as a meme to illustrate extreme pettiness or being strangely fastidious during a high-stakes crisis. It captures the essence of someone having their priorities completely skewed or making a firm, albeit ridiculous, demand in an intense situation. Relatable scenarios include corporate bureaucracy, strict parents, or friends arguing over trivial items during a breakup. Example captions: 'When you are quitting your job but you are taking the good stapler with you,' 'The bank when you are five cents short on a mortgage payment,' or 'Me making sure my friend leaves the AUX cord before they get out of the car.'
