"Little Lord Freeza" is the eighth episode of HFIL (Home for Infinite Losers).
Tagline[]
Freeza just wants to talk, and not about bad movies!
Plot Summary[]
Following the events of the previous episode, Freeza goes to Goz and Mez's house to confront his father. Mez answers the door and asks if Freeza wishes to borrow a DVD, as they are renting them out to help the MCMs socialize. Freeza asks for King Cold, who comes down completely naked. While Freeza wishes to talk about the day before, Cold claims he is too busy, as he has to finish his cup of coffee, drink another cup of coffee, and then work with the Ginyu Force. As Cold leaves, Cell arrives to return the ogres' copy of Caddyshack II, attempting to engage Freeza in small talk noting that the only movies in HFIL are bad sequels, though Freeza stalks off angrily.
At a section outside the cul-de-sac, Cold tasks the Ginyus with building a new arena in 24 hours. Freeza once again tries to talk to King Cold, but Cold has Guldo use his time-freezing powers to bring him a load of paperwork to focus on instead. As Freeza begins to walk away angrily, Cold asks Freeza to tell Cell that he'll be stopping by for a chat.
Freeza watches Cell and Cold's chat through a window, angrily wondering what they are talking about. Freeza ponders which is worse: them talking about him or not talking about him. Freeza goes to angrily confront them but decides against it. Dodoria attempts to comfort Freeza, telling him that maybe it's in Freeza's own head that he feels as though he has lost his influence and is no longer the center of attention. Freeza kicks Dodoria out of his room and goes to bed.
Freeza has trouble sleeping and wakes up in the middle of the night, angrily muttering about Cell before he notices King Cold sneaking around towards Cell's house.
In a post-credits scene, it is revealed that Cell and King Cold's conversation was purely about the movies on offer.
Running Gags and Callbacks[]
- King Cold's casual nudity.
- Freeza claiming he has so many questions about his species lack of genitalia is a callback to Sharing Circles of Hell in which he claims he doesn't know how his species reproduces.
- Guldo uses his steam-roller summoning abilities first seen in ć°çăææ!! æŹç€Œ, ăźăă„ăŒçčæŠé!! to summon Super Kami Guru.
- King Cold refences Zarbon's innuendos, as he originally tells Freeza to ask Zarbon to "get wood" for him, before realizing he should use the word "lumber".
Cultural References[]
- Due to the ogres only having bad sequels in their DVD collection, a few are mentioned.
- Cell mentions that he skipped RoboCop 2, but that it must have been better than RoboCop 3 as they only have the latter.
- Cell also wonders which Die Hard movies they have. It is later revealed that they have Die Hard with a Vengeance, but they don't have Die Hard 2, which Cell thinks is "objectively wrong".
- Dodoria borrows a copy of Terminator: Genisys
- Guldo once again uses Dio Brando's catchphrase from JoJo's Bizzare Adventure.

Trivia[]
- King Cold refers to the Ginyu Force as "the coloreds" referencing that all of their skin is differently colored. This take Freeza aback as "colored" is usually a derogatory term for non-caucasian ethnicities.
- It is also noted that Green is the majority color for species in the universe as Cold refers to Guldo as "the normal one" and "my normal little friend". When Freeza points out that he is white, Cold replies "and most of the galaxy isn't".
- This may be a reference to the concept of "little green men", which are a common portrayal of aliens in most media.
- Cold also refers to Recoome's Caucasian complexion as "Beige".
- It is also noted that Green is the majority color for species in the universe as Cold refers to Guldo as "the normal one" and "my normal little friend". When Freeza points out that he is white, Cold replies "and most of the galaxy isn't".
- King Cold appears naked without his armor in this episode. Strangely, King Cold's bare form lack the definition featured on Freeza's designs, lacking any biological armor or lining.
