Caught my coworker saying 'dub is just filler' and I snapped back without thinking

Was grabbing coffee last Thursday and heard this guy from accounting say filler episodes in the original Dragon Ball are pointless. I told him the driving test episode is pure comedy gold and builds character better than half the modern seasonal stuff. He changed the subject quick. Makes me wonder how many people skip episodes just because they aren't fighting. Has anyone else had to defend a classic filler arc to someone who thinks they're above it?

Honestly the driving test episode is top tier. People who skip filler are missing out on the best jokes.

@samw47 is right, the driving test episode carries the whole Pilaf saga. Skipping filler is like only watching the final fight of Rocky movies and calling yourself a fan. Those slower episodes let characters breathe instead of just yelling power levels at each other. The Red Ribbon Army stuff has some of the best comedic timing in the whole series. People who skip it miss out on General Tao throwing a pillar like a baseball. They're using episode guides like a cheat code instead of actually experiencing the show.
