History Funny / DragonBallZ

** Tien's math skills don't appear to have improved much over the years. Poor guy actually counts how many of them their are on his ''fingers''.

* When Frieza transfoms into his [[XenomorphXerox third form]], he looks very big and bulky and Piccolo, believing him to be slow, tries to get out of the way using a FlashStep. Frieza quickly proves him wrong.

** Goku's reasoning in the English dub? [[InnocentMeansNaïve Naïvely]] pointing out since Dr. Gero had "technically" done anything yet. It would be wrong to attack him now.

** When Chiaotzu offers that they draw straws, Yamcha argues that his and Tien's telepathy gives them an unfair advantage. [[HypocriticalHumor Chiaotzu]] argues that they're not cheaters.

* While watching Piccolo and Frieza fight, Krillin mentions the old adage, "it ain't over till the fat lady sings". Vegeta is less then convinced.

* The last appearance of the frog in Captain Ginyu's body near the end of the Frieza Saga is pretty funny too. Also, it's nice knowing that the frog (who hadn't done anyone any harm) not only made it to Earth, but survived the punishment Ginyu had put his body through before.
** Just the fact that Ginyu got stuck in a frog's body was funny enough, really, especially after Super comes out and we find out just what exactly happened to him...

* Bulma’s exasperated reaction to Vegeta and Goku shooting down her idea to use the Dragon Balls to find out where Dr. Gero is hiding so they could stop him early before activating his killer androids, simply because they want to fight them. She could only despair that “Saiyans are a bunch of battle junkies”.
* Basically everything about "The Driving Episode". Proof that {{Filler}} is not always terrible.

** When Puipui fights Vegeta, [[CurbStompBattle he gets easily handled]]. To help him, Babidi turns the arena into Zun, Puipui's homeworld, which [[HeavyWorlder has ten times the gravity of Earth]]. [[GoneHorriblyRight Now, what is Vegeta's preferred way of training?]]

* Mr. Satan's freak-out when he realizes that Videl has a crush on Gohan, even reminding her that [[OverprotectiveDad he wouldn't let her date a boy too weak to beat him]] without knowing that Gohan is the one teen in the world that qualifies.

** He later wakes up during the battle between Goku and Kid Buu-still convinced it's a dream.

* Vegeta's Bingo Dance in ''Battle of Gods''. Goku even lampshades just how big of a threat Beerus must have been if ''Vegeta of all people'' was that willing to toss away his pride.

* "Broly - The Legendary Super Saiyan"

* While ''History of Trunks'' is rather depressing, and for good reason, the AB Groupe managed to screw up the Androids decimating the Z Fighters who remained after Goku's death via heart virus.
--> (The Androids fight and kill Piccolo) [[DubNameChange Big Green]] had perished. (The androids proceed to beat up Vegeta, Yamcha and Tien, and evaporate Krillin with a ki blast) Vejeta, Yamcha, Tenshin and [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Clearin]]... [[BlatantLies they had survived]].

* In the Fusion movie, Vegeta and Goku have been defeated by the BigBad and Goku is trying to convince Vegeta to try the FusionDance so they'll be able to defeat him for once and all. Vegeta shoots the idea down every single time, until...
-->'''Vegeta''': "I'd rather be dead than fusing with you!"
-->'''Goku''': But Vegeta... [sigh] [[CaptainObvious You're already DEAD!]]
-->'''Vegeta''': [... makes a damn ''pouting'' face]

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1hgyUqCneQ "Broccoli! Just give it up it's all over!"]]
** "Very tough but his name's Broly."
** Another one is a FreezeFrameBonus where if you time it just right you can notice that not only Roshi's face turn into [[Manga/DoctorSlump Arale's]] but his beard turns Super Saiyan, Golden aura and incredible spikiness too!

-->'''Vegeta''': [... makes a damn ''pouting'' face]
** Also, Pikkon's biggest "part" is... [[spoiler: shouting insults at Janenba's force barrier to debilitate it.]] Even ''he'' lampshades how utterly '''ridiculous''' this is.
* Vegeta meeting his sister-in-law. It's quite humorous to see him be surprised by the introduction.

* In ''Broly'', Krillin shows off his martial arts skills, then Goku teleports right into the path of Krillin's fist.
* While Broly himself is mostly played seriously as a character in his debut movie, he gets a funny line when he catches Paragus trying to escape in a rocket. Paragus tries to bullshit his way out of it, but his son sees right through it and promptly [[ThereIsNoKillLikeOverkill crushes him inside of the pod before throwing it into the sun]].

** The infamous AB Groupe/Big Green dub of the movie actually manages to make the exchange even funnier.

* In ''Return of Cooler'', Goku falls from the sky after defeating the BigBad. Gohan stands below, happy to see his father alive and well...only for Goku to hit the ground with the force of an anvil, leaving Gohan in stunned silence. What's more, he landed ''behind'' Gohan, nearly crushing some Namekians and with his head stuck in the ground.
* Vegeta's Bingo Dance in ''Battle of Gods''. Goku even lampshades just how big of a threat Beerus must have been if ''Vegeta of all people'' was that willing to toss away his pride.
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9WO9EBjXiBw Krillin's attempt at singing]] in ''Broly: The Legendary Super Saiyan''.
** Chi-Chi tries to drill Goku for an interview with a private school she wants Gohan to attend. She ends up yelling so hard at Goku that ''the entire line behind him'' falls down.
* Early in ''Cooler's Revenge'', Goku is suddenly interested in Gohan getting his schoolwork done, and is in fact insisting he finish it before anything else. Chichi, hearing this, concludes that this sudden OutOfCharacterMoment is the result of brain damage.

* From [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kK4mdMlUVbo the UK dub of "The World's Strongest"]] (one minute and fifteen seconds in): "We would have to change the attitude of everyone on Earth to make them a PENIS!! In every way!!"
** Well, okay, it's "obey us" but really, this is the closest thing DBZ will ever get to "[[WesternAnimation/AdventuresOfSonicTheHedgehog Pingas]]".

** The best part of that, nobody bothered letting Shenron leave so he's still stuck waiting for somebody ask for a wish at the end of the movie.
-->"Is someone going to make a wish or what?"

* When Frieza transfoms into his [[XenomorphXerox third form]], he looks very big and bulky, Piccolo, believing him to be slow, tries to get out of the way using a FlashStep. Frieza quickly proves him wrong.

* A subtle one during an idle scene with the main characters playing cards on top of Kami's Lookout. Krillin and Roshi are making small talk while playing Go Fish and 18 is standing behind Roshi, gesturing at Krillin about which card he should pick. After about a minute of head and eyebrow turning, Krillin ends up picking the joker (the one card he didn't want). 18 could only drop her head in disbelief.

* Creator/SeanSchemmel (Goku/King Kai), Creator/ChristopherSabat (Vegeta/Piccolo), and Creator/ChrisAyres (Frieza) get together to [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jNkz6fvWGd0 dub famous movie scenes]] as DBZ characters (ie, the ''Film/IndependenceDay'' speech... as delivered by King Kai).

** After 18's "defeat", Bulma, Chichi, Muten Roshi, Yamcha, Pual, the Ox King, Oolong and Maron wondering what just happened.

*** What makes this funnier is that fact that ''Goku'', who is at par with Vegeta at the very least, and frequently gives out [[CurbStompBattle one-sided fghts]], is ''cowering in fear of Vegeta'' and that Vegeta is temporarily taller than him thanks to his head growing half a size, bearing in mind that Vegeta's height has served as a bit of a gag.

* While Broly himself is mostly played seriously as a character in his debut movie, he gets a funny line when he catches Paragus trying to escape in a rocket. Paragus tries to bullshit his way out of it, but his son sees right through it and promptly [[NoKillLikeOverkill crushes him inside of the pod before throwing it into the sun]].

** In the ''Plan to Eradicate the Saiyans'' OVA, Piccolo finds one of the Destron-producing gas machine, with one of Hachiyakk's minion guarding it. Problem with the minion is that Piccolo can fly but the minion can't, resulting the poor bastard triggering ''every landmine on the island'' to the point it has enough force to destroy the Destron machine. Piccolo is understandably miffed by the results of someone even dumber than ''Mark Satan''.

--> (The Androids fight and kill Piccolo) [[DubNameChange Big Green]] had perished. (The androids proceed to beat up Vegeta, Yamcha and Tien, and evaporate Krillin with a ki blast) [[NoPronunciationGuide Vejeta]], Yamcha, Tenshin and [[SpellMyNameWithAnS Clearin]]... [[BlatantLies they had survived]].

** The fact that Vegeta once actually used the word nerd to describe Gohan, albeit off-screen.

--> '''Goku''': (''to Vegeta'') You luck dog!

--> '''Vegeta''': [[NoIndoorVoice WHEN ARE YOU GOING TO GROW UP!?]]

** Later, we have Krillin and Gohan trying to summon Polunga... Without knowing it has to be done in Namekian. And it takes them so long to notice it doesn't work that ''Ginyu-in-Goku's-body arrives immediately after''.
