This is also combined occasionally with Disgaea, thanks to the game actually letting you level up to 9999.
Even World of Warcraft has gotten in on the act by adding in an achevement called It's Over Nine Thousand! It's not widely known at this point since getting to 9000+ achievement points is easier said than done. However it is in there.
When the SH Figuarts was announced, a number of American fans suggested that it include a scouter-crushing hand accessory. The distributor, Bluefin, agreed, and the figure will indeed come with it.
One of the most common instances of vandalism at The Other Wiki is to add Vegeta's line, or some variant or reference thereof, to the article for 9001.
"I hope my body can take it." Explanation The various dubs are absolutely filled to the brim with Accidental Innuendo, and fans love to mock them and/or put them in Youtube Poops.
"I'M A WARRIOR! Not some... VARIETY OF FLOWER!" Explanation Dub Vegeta is a Fountain of Memes even by the standards of such a memetic series, "Over 9000" only the most popular. Here, he makes a comment about a certain pink shirt.
"THEN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE IS GOING TO DIE!"
"I AM THE PRINCE OF ALL SAIYANS!"
Servant woman, bring me a drying cloth!! Explanation While Vegeta is showering, he asks Bulma (servant woman) for a drying cloth
"SAD FOR YOOOOOOOUUUUUUU!!"Explanation Like "Over 9000", anytime Vegeta inexplicably draws out his vowels (to better match the lip flaps) is about five times more likely to become a meme.
...Imma. Chargin'. Mah. Lazah. Explanation A picture of Cell with terribly photoshopped blackface using a Breath Weapon added. Subject to endless copies and parodies.
"Are they still on Namek?" Explanation The Namek/Frieza arc was dragged out even by DBZ standards. Used to mock any Story Arc that has long worn out its welcome.
This was eventually borrowed by the Bleach fandom to refer to the series similarly dragging on Soul Society arc. The next major Bleach arc was even longer, though.
Vegeta, Vegeeeeeeeeeeta, I'm haunting you. Explanation Nappa became a massive Ensemble Darkhorse, so a method was devised to ensure future appearances. GHOST NAPPA!
HFIL. Explanation "Home For Infinite Losers", from the Bowdlerization of the dub. Used as an Unusual Euphemism for Hell, such as "What the HFIL?".
"I'll send you to the next/another dimension!". Explanation The Bowdlerised dub was firmly in Never Say "Die" territory, and its abuse of this phrase and variants similarly led to a lot of jokes at its expense.
"Old Man Krillin is unbeatable." Explanation The fact that an elderly Krillin was able to land a hit on Goku during their friendly fight at the end of Dragonball GT (Goku was obviously not fighting at full power) has prompted a meme that Old Man Krillin is a Memetic Badass who could beat anyone with ease.
"This isn't over yet. It'll continue for a bit longer." Explanation Muten Roushi says this to the readers at the end of the 23rd Tenka'ichi Budokai in the manga. Which then went to run for six more years.
The "Yamcha pose". Explanation The pose Yamcha ends in after dying to a Saibaiman (note Saibaimen are nothing more than weak, personality-less mooks). It was basically Yamcha's Character Defining Moment (defining how weak he was), because Krillin went to kill three of these Saibaimen right after that, in a single attack. Used to mock anyone that is considered pathetically weak.
Yamcha's weakness in general is a meme, period. The man seems to be the Japanese equivalent of Charlie Brown or something. Krillin is given this treatment sometimes as well.
"HURRY UP GOKUUUUUU!" Explanation The line Krillin says after Piccolo is killed by Nappa. Because that was basically he (or anyone else) was all good for at this point: Stalling for time until Goku comes.
The Ginyu Force pose. If there's a team in a series, someone has drawn them in this pose.
To be more specific, Ginyu's pose has been mercilessly parodied. Explanation The pose consists of Ginyu sticking his rear out, bent over showing his head between his legs, caused attention like from Team Four Star.

"I LOVE CORNBREEEEEEAAAAAAAAD!!!!"Explanation Cell's final words before dying to Gohan's Kamehameha. He's actually shouting "I am perfect!", but it ends up sounding like he's shouting about his love of cornbread instead.
"Dragonball GT doesn't exist." Explanation GT, the anime-only sequel to the series, is generally agreed to be of very poor quality compared to the rest of the series, so fans like to simply pretend it never happened at all. It helps that Toriyama himself seems to agree.
"GT Logic." Explanation Phrase used to explain any of the major inconsistencies in characters' abilities and/or attributes in GT. While it's generally agreed that the first two series had their share of plot holes, GT is seen as having far more than either of them.
Whoa! Mondo cool!Explanation Krillin's reaction to Goku's healing process in the Saiyan medical machines on Namek.
Yes, that's right boys. Mondo cool.
ME EAT YOU UP. ME EAT YOU UP. ME EAT YOU UP! ME EAT YOU UP!!!Explanation What Fat Buu chants while dancing towards Dabura with intent of eating him. As silly as it sounds it's actually quite disturbing.
