* Winning a match in Cell's WhatIf saga in ''Tenkaichi 1'' has ''everyone'' (sans-Super 17) admitting that they failed and that [[OutOfCharacterMoment they don't deserve to live.]] [[https://youtu.be/Vnh2oQI9xUo It's a lot funnier than it sounds]].
* There are several elements that ''don't'' change based on the characters fighting that can get a little weird sometimes.
** Chiaotzu's ultimate attack, "[[HeroicSacrifice Goodbye Mr. Tien]]", has [[SayMyName Tien randomly screaming Chiaotzu's name]] in the background during the explosion. Partially because of this, the attack name takes on a whole different meaning when Tien's your opponent...
** Every character in Dragon Sim mode in ''3'' has the same possible events that are randomly drawn from. Yes, Chi-Chi is ordering the likes of ''Frieza, Broly, and Omega Shenron'' to sit down and do their homework.
** The Saibamen's [[TakingYouWithMe ultimate attack]] leaves the opponent in Yamcha's [[ButtMonkey classic, trademark pose]] regardless of who it is. It's quite an unusual sight to see the likes of Broly, Omega Shenron, and [=SSJ4=] Gogeta crumpled up and helpless on the ground.
** Similarly to the above, Nam's Shura Gekiretsuken (the karate chop he used to defeat Ranfan) always sends its opponent falling downward in a similar defenseless state. Using it against ''anyone'' is hilarious.
** Cui's ultimate attack, [[LookBehindYou looking over his opponent's shoulder and telling them Frieza is behind them]], works on Frieza.
*** However, in every case, he simply says [[AmbiguousSyntax "Lord Frieza!" and not "Oh, it's Lord Frieza!"]] So it could also be taken as him alerting Frieza of something behind him. Still funny to see [[DirtyCoward Cui]] actually convince Frieza there's someone behind him.
** Majin Vegeta before he [[HeroicSacrifice self destructs]] says goodbye to his family and Goku. Used on a villain, it's [[TearJerker rather emotional.]] Used on Goku or Trunks, [[BlackComedy it]] [[OmnicidalManiac gives off]] [[SuicidalCosmicTemperTantrum slightly]] [[RageQuit different]] [[SoreLoser implications.]]
* The character's reactions to fighting someone they know at a different age, especially for Kid Goku and Kid Chi-Chi.
** Kid Goku Vs. Yamcha
--->'''Yamcha''': Against this Goku, [[ButtMonkey I might actually have a chance]].
** Kid Goku Vs. Goten
--->'''Goku''': You look just like me. Are you some kinda weird ghost or somethin'?
** Kid Goku Vs. Pan
--->'''Pan''': Grandpa! You totally forgot about me didn't you?\\
'''Goku''': What're you talking about? I'm still a kid!\\
'''Goku''' (after winning): I know I haven't gotten that much older, but...
** Kid Chi-Chi Vs. Adult Goku
--->'''Chi-Chi''': Goku! How did you get so big?\\
'''Goku''': Chi-Chi was sure cute back then.
** Kid Chi-Chi Vs. Videl
-->'''Videl''': Huh? Mother-in-law!?
** Kid Chi-Chi Vs. Goten
--->'''Chi-Chi''': You're not Goku! You're an imposter!\\
'''Goten''': Huh? What's wrong Mom?\\
'''Goten''' (after winning): Hey, why is Mom smaller?
** Kid Chi-Chi Vs. Pan
--->'''Pan''': What? Even Grandma is here!\\
'''Chi-Chi''': Who are you calling Grandma?
** Kid Goku (GT) Vs. Chi-Chi
--->'''Goku''': Huh. Chi-Chi, you got smaller too.
* In ''Budokai Tenkaichi 2'''s Fusion Reborn Story mode, after Gohan defeats Bojack and Zangya, both Frieza and Cell comment on how terrible Gohan's Great Saiyaman outfit is.
* Just...Just Great Saiyaman in general. Especially when his pre-battle quotes with the Ginyu Force, both Trunks or Piccolo. Meanwhile Videl and Goten likes the costume.
* If you or your opponent is a ''Dragon Ball'' player or Mr. Satan, expect them to start flailing their arms or feet when they can't maintain their altitude on flight-level with someone who can fly indefinitely.
* If you linger long enough in [=BT3=]'s Versus menu, you may hear this quip from Nappa: "Hey, uhh...think if I went Super Saiyan, my goatee would grow?"
** [[HilariousInHindsight Years later]], in ''[[VideoGame/DragonballXenoverse2 Xenoverse 2]]'', Nappa would get Super Saiyan in a free update. It doesn't grow but it does turn blonde.
*** Gets even funnier in ''Super Dragon Ball Heroes'', where Nappa's beard ''does'' grow in his Super Saiyan 3 form.
* Great Ape Baby's "I believe it's time for this monkey to spank you!!" is as hilarious as it is inappropriate. The first game also had Jeice straight up call you a "wanker" and the second game had 18 outright calling Zangya a "skank" completely uncensored. It's almost a huge shame the radar caught on by ''3,'' at least for Jeice and 18.
** Super Baby 2 and Great Ape Baby's lines in general are absolutely jam-packed with LaughablyEvil LargeHam.
* Vegeta's explanation of Tenkaichi 1's CPU vs. CPU mode.
-->'''Vegeta:''' Have the computer fight itself. [[SarcasmMode Wow. Sounds like fun.]]
* Actually successfully beating Kid Buu with Hercule in ''Tenkaichi 3'''s story mode causes a brief but hilarious scene where Goku and Vegeta enter a HeroicBSOD. In a IronicEcho they start believing they are dreaming much like Hercule spends most of the series doing after seeing what the Z-Fighters and villains can do.
