1!!The Game Show:
2* Nearly any scene involving Major Victory ([[{{Tearjerker}} with a few definite exceptions]]).
3** One particular favorite came in the very first episode. The child actress playing the lost girl the heroes are meant to be helping makes a very visible WTF Face as Major Victory insists upon carrying her, Superman style, to the nearby police station.
4** [[LargeHam "WHO IS THIS GIRL'S MOTHER?"]]
5** "I SALUTE TO YOU FEROCIOUS ANIMALS!"
6** He runs past a bunch of birds milling about, and as he does, points to them and grins in an overly cheesy fashion, all without stopping.
7** "Today, I am a wiener. Not a winner."
8** "I gave up my true identity! I have a new name...Major Dumbass!"
9** "This guy is [[ScaryBlackMan big and scary]]. He's a convicted felon. I have to give him a massage. [[ThisIsGonnaSuck I think I'm gonna]] ''[[ThisIsGonnaSuck die.]]''"
10** After the SugarWiki/{{Heartwarming Moment|s}} of him receiving a call from his estranged daughter, he looks up at Stan and jokingly asks if he can keep the phone that Stan provided for the call. Stan has a good laugh at that one.
11** "I know Major Victory can't keep his costume on. But ''[[ChippendalesDancers Thong Man]]'', now we haven't been introduced to that particular superhero."
12*** Major Victory tells Dark Enforcer that he's going down for this. Dark Enforcer responds by waving a dollar in front of the screen.
13* Other sources of comedy in the first season:
14** Monkey Woman. The name says it all, really.
15** Ty'veculus, due to the [[ButtMonkey sheer number of setbacks he keeps enduring.]]
16** The Dark Enforcer, who has many a DeadpanSnarker moment.
17* In episode 2, during the costume update, Stan tells Lumeria that, with regards to her costume, "Disco is from the 70s". Her response is to go "Hahahahahahahaha-So am I."
18* Feedback's failure to impress the kids. At one point he says his favorite video game is ''pong'', and one little girl says, in a talking head interview: "I've never heard of the game Pong. [[EskimosArentReal I think he made it up.]]"
19* And in the second season:
20** Ms. Limelight, who is TheDitz to hilarious levels.
21** Mr. Mitzvah, during both challenges and eliminations.
22** Hyperstrike, a young and energetic LargeHam with acrobatic skills.
23** Parthenon, once he puts himself through {{Flanderization}} into CampGay.
24** SmugSnake Dr. Dark and his creation: "Evil Stan Lee".
25* HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOMELESSSSSSSSSSSS MAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNN!
26** I HAVE THE POWER TO THINK THAT I AM FLYING! OBSERVE! (Leaps forward and promptly falls flat on his face)
27
28!!The Web Comic:
29* Piccolo's increasingly pathetic and desperate attempts to refuse Gohan's request, even though he knows he's going to cave eventually. He treats dressing up as the Great Saiyaman as seriously [[ComicalOverreacting as if Gohan had asked him to blow up the Earth.]]
30--> '''Piccolo:''' ''(shouting at the top of his lungs, while Gohan keeps the same sheepish expression)'' Why are you doing this to me? Haven't I done enough for you! Remember that one time I '''''died?'''''
31* The mortified expression on Piccolo's face when he goes to ask Bulma to redesign the Great Saiyaman costume.
32** Not long after, he's caught wearing said costume by Vegeta. After a moment of silence, Vegeta openly laughs at the poor Namekian.
33** Once Vegeta's done laughing, he rather gruffly asks Bulma for food. Bulma looks angry at first, only to start smiling suspiciously a moment later. Turns out, she got Vegeta back by forcing him to fill in for the Great Saiyaman's sidekick, Saiya''woman''.
34* Piccolo and Vegeta's argument over exactly who was to blame for being the inspiration for the Great Saiyaman.
35** In the end they both agree, [[NeverMyFault it's all Goku's fault]].
36* Gotenks anger upon losing his fake moustache. Turns out Goku found it, and decided to wear it for some reason.
37* When Vegeta learns from Videl that Bulma tricked him into wearing a different [[note]] a much frillier and girly[[/note]] version of the Saiyawoman costume than the original.
38--> '''Bulma''': Where are you going?
39--> '''Vegeta''': Home! I need to reevaluate my life choices.
40--> '''Bulma''': Well okay, but if you're planning on turning evil again, [[SeenItAll please give us a heads up this time]].
