| 4 | ''WebVideo/DragonBallZAbridged'' has spawned a ''huge'' amount of these, even by the standards of an AbridgedSeries. Look on just about any ''Manga/DragonBall'' forum (or the subreddit, for that matter) and you will see people quoting the series in just about every thread. Of course, it helps that the [[Anime/DragonBallZ source material]] is itself [[Memes/DragonBall a popular source for memes.]] |

| 11 | Considering the popularity of the characters he voices, it seems almost inevitable that Taka's characters become [[{{FountainOfMemes}} GOLD MINES for memes]]. |
| 12 | !! Nappa: |
| 13 | * Ghost Nappa. [[labelnote: Explanation]]At the end of the first season, Nappa appears out of nowhere as a ghost and begins to haunt Vegeta.[[/labelnote]] |
| 14 | * I am hilarious and you will quote everything I say. [[labelnote: Explanation]]''Dragon Ball Z Kai Abridged'''s lampshading of Nappa's FountainOfMemes status became a meme in itself. Go figure. This has also bled into other popular characters (most of them voiced by Taka) including Super Kami Guru, Android 16, Perfect Cell.[[/labelnote]] |
| 15 | * "Vegeta... I can fly!" [[labelnote: Explanation]]One of Nappa's more memorable lines.[[/labelnote]] |
| 16 | * "[[PunctuatedForEmphasis Don't. Shake. The]] ''baby''!" [[labelnote: Explanation]] Nappa telling Vegeta not to shake Trunks, complete with unnerving SynchroVox[[/labelnote]] |
| 17 | !! Guru[[note]]Sorry, Super Kami Guru[[/note]]: |
| 18 | * NAIL!!![[labelnote: Explanation]] Whenever Guru needs Nail, he'll yell this out.[[/labelnote]] |
| 19 | * Super Kami Guru allows this. [[labelnote: Explanation]]Guru's personality in the Abridged series is a bit out-there, to say the least.[[/labelnote]] |
| 20 | * Every party needs a pooper, that's why they invited you... [[labelnote: Explanation]]Guru sings this song to Dende when Dende complains about losing his family.[[/labelnote]] |

| 27 | !! Mr. Perfect(er) Cell: |
| 28 | * Stop it![[labelnote: Explanation]]This is everyone's reaction to when his imperfect form said [[{{DoubleEntendre}} something dirty]]. Especially with how ''[[{{NightmareFuel}} creepy]]'' they get.[[/labelnote]] |
| 29 | * Cellucard.[[labelnote: Explanation]] Thanks to sounding progressively more like [[{{WebVideo/HellsingUltimateAbridged}} Alucard]], some have taken to calling him this. Especially since his Perfect Cell voice IS Alucard for all intents and purposes.[[/labelnote]] |
| 30 | * I'M GONNA TURN TRIANGLES INTO F-ING SQUARES! [[labelnote:Explanation]]Semi-Perfect Cell recounting how Tien stopped him from absorbing 18 through a multi-shot Kikoho. Which, despite being fired from a triangle hand formation, somehow created a square-shaped crater in the ground.[[/labelnote]] |
| 31 | * P.E.R.F.E.C.T.[[labelnote: Explanation]]Cell's song after achieving his Perfect form has inspired people to make villain songs for different series using an [[FunWithAcronyms acronym]] with the badguy's name.[[/labelnote]] |
| 32 | * "You're either perfect, or you're not me."[[note]]Cell's IronicEcho of Vegeta's BadassBoast[[/note]] |
| 33 | * [[BreakThemByTalking And wait for Goku]].[[labelnote: Explanation]] Cell's '''brutal''' BreakingSpeech toward Vegeta after utterly wrecking his shit sums up what DBZ had turned into.[[/labelnote]] |
| 34 | * Multiverse theory's a bitch.

It even becomes a badass IronicEcho used by Trunks against Cell in the epilogue.[[/labelnote]] |
| 35 | * [[EngineeredHashtag #CellGames]] [[labelnote: Explanation]] How Cell introduces the world to his tournament. In twitter, this ended up trending in real life.[[/labelnote]] |
| 36 | ** Sponsored by Hetap. |
| 37 | ** And... it's trending. |
| 38 | * "Ok, but why though?" [[note]]Cell's FlatWhat reaction to Kenshiro's taking off his clothes to attack him became a popular reaction image.[[/note]] |
| 39 | ** '''CHRIST! DIDN'T ANYONE EVER TELL YOU YOU'RE ALREADY AN ASSHOLE!!'''[[labelnote: Explanation]]Cell's over-the-top reaction to Kenshiro's attack. Also, Kenshiro being the first person to ever piss off Mr. Perfect Cell[[/labelnote]] |
| 40 | ** On the same note, Cell disgusted face from episode 52 became a popular reaction image. |
| 41 | * I'm gonna miss him when he's dead.[[labelnote: Explanation]]What Cell says after Goku leaves. Doubles as {{Foreshadowing}} to Goku's death. Fans have also taken to saying this about Cell, knowing that Gohan would kill him in the end.[[/labelnote]] |
| 42 | * I am perfect and you will quote everything I say.[[labelnote: Explanation]]Cell's own version of one of Nappa and Super Kami Guru's most memetic lines. [[/labelnote]] |
| 43 | * [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zJ3qtWOz9tE Cell's cover of]] "[[Music/FrankSinatra My Way]]" is too subjected to many jokes, from how that's Cell's perfect way to FaceDeathWithDignity to Cell absorbing Frank Sinatra. |
| 44 | [[/folder]] |
| 45 | |

| 49 | * Mr. Popo's NightmareFace featuring a black screen with only his eyes and mouth. |
| 50 | * Mr. Popo's status as a MemeticBadass, with many fans claiming him to be the strongest character in existence (yes, even stronger than [[Anime/DragonBallSuper Zeno.]]) |

| 60 | * Kaïo-what!? [[labelnote: Explanation]]Every time Goku uses the Kaïoken, this is the response. While it originated and was most frequently said by Vegeta, it soon became a PhraseCatcher of sorts that multiple characters have used.[[/labelnote]] |
| 61 | * Thwartin' mah plans? [[labelnote:Explanation]] Vegeta says this to Gohan (twice) and to Future Trunks, in the vein of "What are you doing?" "What am I doing?" "Thwartin' mah plans?" "Thwarting your plans?" "Are you?" [[/labelnote]] |
| 62 | * "You're not dealing with the average Saiyan warrior anymore!" [[labelnote: Explanation]]Vegeta says this three times against Freeza; once against his first form, again against his final form, and a third time before dying. The first two are him claiming to be a Super Saiyan while the third has him claim Goku is a Super Saiyan. It is later used by Hatchiyack/Santa Claus ("You're not dealing with the average Father Christmas anymore") and Paragus (using Vegeta's own line against him) in the two movies and has become a joke within the fanbase, usually to note that a character has become stronger than before or stronger than others associated with them. [[/labelnote]] |
| 63 | * Power levels are bullshit! [[labelnote: Explanation]]Vegeta comes to this realization when Piccolo is fighting Freeza. This one has spread into the canon Dragon Ball fandom.[[/labelnote]] |

| 69 | ** '''"VEGETA, YES!"'''[[labelnote:Explanation]]Vegeta's response to aforementioned calls for restraint, proceeding as intended[[/labelnote]] |
| 70 | * Bitch, I'm adorable.[[note]]Vegeta is [[DeadpanSnarker snarking]] on Semi-Perfect Cell almost as hard as he's punching him. Cell asks if Vegeta thinks he's being cute. This is line Vegeta's response. It's later [[MeaningfulEcho echoed]] by [[LikeFatherLikeSon Future Trunks]] to Future Cell. And in side material, it becomes Vegeta's signature phrase, especially since Mr. Satan stole the "I am the hype" catchphrase from him.[[/note]] |
| 71 | * Never in my life have I ever needed something so much and never known until I received it.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Vegeta's line from the Broly movie where after he gets called "King Vegeta", used by fans for pretty much anything new and unexpected that comes along[[/labelnote]] |

| 76 | * DODGE! [[labelnote: Explanation]]Piccolo's training of Gohan basically consists of him kicking the shit out of Gohan and yelling at him "DOOODGE!" And Gohan's failure to dodge attacks becomes a running gag.[[/labelnote]] |

| 78 | * Piccolo is Gohan's ''real'' dad.[[labelnote:Explanation]]Fans note that Piccolo is more of a parent to Gohan than his ''actual'' parents[[/labelnote]] |
| 79 | |
| 80 | !!Krillin |
| 81 | * Krillin Owned Count[[labelnote:Explanation]]One of the most prominent {{Running Gag}}s which keeps track of every time Krillin gets hurt[[/labelnote]] |
