* KyleHebert's deep narrator voice can sometimes lead to Narm, like in the episode ''Gohan Goes To Highschool'' where he says in his standard, DonLafontaine-esque tone, "Hurry, Gohan! You'd hate to be late to class..." This is immediately followed by the title card with the standard "guitar riff episode title" theme. Basically, a rockin' guitar riff set to white text saying "Gohan Goes To High School".

If he were still a child, it wouldn't be so strange, but as a ''grown man''?

* A notable gem in the English dub is when Piccolo finishs his fusion with Nail. Piccolo's dialogue during this scene resembles an overexcited sports player pumping himself up.

* DragonBallZ's "It's over NINE THOUSAND!!!", thanks to MemeticMutation, has become one of the most (in)famous {{Narm}}s of all time.
* This line from Trunks from the English dub of ''Z'' is a Narm meme:
--> "If they set that android free it will be the end of all of us!! [[BigNo NOOOOOOOO!!!]]"
* Adult!Goku's Japanese voice is {{Narm}}ful. It's dissonance to hear this big bad martial arts guy (a grandfather in the end) speaking with almost the exact same voice he had as a twelve-year old.
** Masako Nozawa as Adult!Goku is bad, but not as bad as Masako Nozawa as his father Bardock. A hardened, ruthless Saiyan warrior sounding like...''this''? That's so unfitting, it's hilarious!
** It gets even more {{egregious}} when, in the end, she's the Seiyuu for every male member of the Son family except for Goku's brother Raditz, who has a '''deep baritone voice'''. [[WildMassGuessing Maybe Raditz isn't related to Goku after all!]]
* Take a look at [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=TXE-QCY-vEE#t=72s this scene]] in ''DragonBallGT'' where Gohan cries out to Piccolo, who is killed by staying on Earth [[EarthShatteringKaboom as it explodes]]. ''That voice...and that scream''...
* Frieza tries to intimidate Krillin:
--> '''Frieza''': You cut off my tail, you imbecile, and '''now I'm going to eat you!!!'''
* ''A LOT'' of Frieza's Season 3 dub dialogue was Narm. A shame, since Linda Young was at her vocal peak here and final-form Frieza sounded semi-masculine!
* The dub of the ''Dead Zone'' movie (one of the infamous European dubs which refers to Piccolo as "Big Green") has this line uttered by BigBad [[FillerVillain Garlic Jr.]] when Kami appears to confront him:
--> '''Garlic Jr.''': Good lord, it's God!
** From the same version, the QuirkyMinibossSquad are impossible to take seriously. While there's an element of parody with most evil minions in the ''Dragon Ball'' franchise, giving one of them a voice that sounds like an evil version of [[TheMuppetShow Fozzie Bear]] doesn't help much.
* Because {{Dragonball}} in general and the Super Saiyan transformation in particular have been so mercilessly parodied over the years, the second version of the ''Dragonball Kai'' opening sequence, in which Goku [[SpoilerOpening suddenly transforms while fighting Frieza]], could be retroactive Narm.
* The way Frieza is beaten by Goku on Namek. As Goku is flying off and leaving Frieza cut in half and bleeding to death, Frieza starts screaming "I will make you pay for opposing the MOST POWERFUL BEING IN THE UNIVEEEEEEEEEEERSE!" and shooting a beam of energy at Goku. Goku turns around, screams "YOU FOOOOOL!", and blasts it back. Then Frieza's face and the way he's screaming makes it look like he's having an ImmodestOrgasm. Also, Frieza says that he's "the most powerful being in the universe" about five times throughout that scene -- the scene in which he is ''dying''...
** Before that, there was the scene in which Frieza sent one of his Chasing Destructo Disks at Goku. The camera spins around and around Frieza while he's laughing.
* "You think I'm stupid enough to fall for such a childish TRICK?!!!!" The way Frieza screams "trick" and the way his eyes bug out are hilarious.
--> "Round and round the monkey goes, when he shall stop then OFF WITH HIS NOSE!"
* This line by Captain Ginyu in the original dub as Goku is powering up to what was then considered insane levels.
-->'''Ginyu:''' "One hundred thousand?! Ay-yi-yi! I wasn't counting on this!"
* [[DragonBall Dragonball GT]] had a villain named Baby. This led to a ''plethora'' of lines such as "I don't think so, Baby!"
* Also during the Frieza Saga: Vegeta awakens from a much-needed nap and then finds the Dragon Balls missing and the dragon summoned. His reaction to the sight of the monstrous Porunga in the initial dub? To proclaim "Holy Cosmos!" and "That's one whopper of a lizard!"
* A notable gem in the English dub is when Piccolo finishs his fusion with Nail. Piccolo's dialogue during this scene resembles an overexcited sports player pumping himself up.
--> "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rR44oOYjvOw YES! YES YES YES! I CAN WIN! I FEEL GREAT! I - CAN - DO - THIS - UGH!]]"
** How does ''DragonBallAbridged'' make fun of this scene? By not changing a single thing about it.
* When Gohan is practicing with the Z-Sword, his practice basically includes swinging it wildly over a lake. But then occasionally, he'll stop what he's doing, hold the sword over his head, point to it, and scream, "''HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!''"
* KyleHebert's deep narrator voice can sometimes lead to Narm, like in the episode ''Gohan Goes To Highschool'' where he says in his standard, DonLafontaine-esque tone, "Hurry, Gohan! You'd hate to be late to class..." This is immediately followed by the title card with the standard "guitar riff episode title" theme. Basically, a rockin' guitar riff set to white text saying "Gohan Goes To High School".
* The English dub of ''Kai'' has Raditz shrieking "NOW DIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!" before trying to kill Gohan. With a scream and hair like that, he could've been lead singer for an 80's hair metal band!
* In ''GT'', Vegeta's sad, sad attempt at growing a mustache. Even his daughter made fun of it.
