  • After Goku barely manages to avoid falling through the clouds while traveling along Snake Way.
    Goku: Note to self: do not go to hell.
  • Goku trying to make King Kai laugh in the sixth episode. King Kai's overdramatic reactions are hilarious.
    Goku: "I sold my car...for gas money!"
  • Nappa's line when laying waste to a news crew. You would think it's a line from Dragon Ball Z Abridged, but it isn't.
  • When Vegeta arrives on Namek.
  • The fact that the English dub version of the Ginyu Force's theme is just the words "Ginyu Force Rules!" over and over again. The full Japanese version is just as hilarious since its not only a roll call for the entire force but with each member trying to turn it into a Bragging Theme Tune about their individual powers and role in the team, as well as other pointless trivia like their habit of sharing parfaits, deciding things over a game of rock-paper-scissors or even how Captain Ginyu hates frogs. Hell, you'll probably start thinking this is their theme in-universe too.
  • This interaction between Recoome, Jeice, and Burter.
    Recoome: Hey! Jeice! Burter! Do me a favor and let me take the little ones, too! Okay?! Please?! C'mon, you don't mind, do ya?!
    Jeice: Guess we're screwed.
    Burter: Alright, go ahead, take 'em all, they're yours. But later, you're treating me and Jeice to hot chocolate sundaes, you got it?
    Recoome: AWESOME!
  • Jeice getting punched in the face.
  • When Goku's is being choked by Frieza's tail, he bites it. The expression on Frieza's face, followed by him blowing on the bite marks, is priceless.
  • Vegeta is the world's worst houseguest, as Bulma came to learn after he returned to Earth aboard a spaceship stolen from Capsule Corporation.
    • The reason he's so riled up? The pink shirt and yellow trousers she left out for him.
  • After Bulma comes with the Z Fighters just so she can see Frieza (somewhat reasonably pointing out that nowhere on the planet is safe), Vegeta thinks, "She's insane and possibly colorblind, but the woman's got guts."
  • After Goku arrives on Earth in a Yardratian space pod.
    Goku: Vegeta always said there weren't any more Saiyans left.
    Vegeta: Fool! What part of "our planet exploded" don't you understand!?
  • Goku's reaction when Trunks tells him who is his mother is priceless. He actually falls down to the ground when Trunks spills the beans.
    • In the English dub, Trunks urging Goku not to tell either of them the truth of his identity it could possibly keep him from being born.
      Trunks: If things end up getting weird between the two of them, I might blip out of existence, because they won't have... well, they won't... you know!
  • During their fight, 20 loses track of Piccolo. Vegeta jerks his head upward with a smirk, knowing full well it won't do any good for 20, who looks up just in time to get his head bashed in.
  • After getting bullied into accompanying Bulma towards the fight against the Androids, Yajirobe threatens to throw baby Trunks out the window to get Bulma to turn back around. Bulma's reaction is extremely casual.
    Yajirobe: If you take us any closer, I'm chucking this kid out the window, you got that?
    Bulma: Uh... Go right ahead. But Vegeta won't like it. I did tell you, didn't I? He's the father.
    Yajirobe: He's... Vegeta's son? This little brat- I mean, this handsome baby is you and Vegeta's kid? Awesome. Then let's hurry!
  • Hearing Nicktoons censors slip up:
    Android 18: Okay, now I'm pissed!
  • Perfect Cell trolling Vegeta after having an arm vaporized:
    Cell: I can't be defeated! Not like this! NOT BY A SAIYAN!
    Vegeta: (laughs triumphantly)
    Cell: ...No, seriously. You truly are a fool. Have you forgotten that I share Piccolo's powers of regeneration? (regenerates) Well, look at that.
  • When Perfect Cell tells Trunks why he's hosting the Cell Games.
    Cell: You might say my only goal now is to enjoy myself. And, of course, I enjoy nothing more than the looks of perfect terror my power inspires on people's faces!
    (cut to Trunks' terrified face)
    Cell: That's it! That's the look! (laughs) So long, kid.
  • After Cell announces the Cell Games on live TV, Vegeta and Yamcha get into an argument ending with Bulma running inside to see Trunks.
    Bulma: Trunks! Oh, Trunks!
    (Cue Mass "Oh, Crap!" look from Vegeta, Yamcha, Puar, and Krillin as they realize they're in her way.)
  • Chi-Chi's reaction to seeing Goku and Gohan in Super Saiyan form:
    Chi-Chi: NOOOOOOOOOOOOO! MY ONLY SON LOOKS LIKE THE FRONTMAN FOR A NEW WAVE PUNK BAAAAAND!
  • Goku accidentally knocks Krillin into the pond, and when he offers a hand out, Krillin yanks him into the water, then laughs at him for falling for the oldest trick in the book. Goku snarks, "At least my feet touch the bottom."
  • When Goku decides to use Instant Transmission to reach King Kai.
    Trunks: That's kind of a stretch.
    Piccolo: I can't figure out if Goku's a genius or soft in the head.
  • The build-up to Hercule's battle with Cell. From Hercule karate chopping fourteen tiles of fifteen tiles to Cell's completely deadpan "You cannot be serious", culminating with Hercule charging towards Cell, ready to attack. Cell stays where he is and pimpslaps Hercule out of the arena with a single attack.
    • The Z-Fighters' facial reaction to Hercule breaking fourteen tiles being treated as a big deal: A mass WTF 'uhhhhhhhhh... is he serious?'
  • At the end of the Cell Games saga. Krillin is attempting to talk to Android 18, and already making a mess of it when Gohan interferes.
  • The fact that the Spoiler Opening for the Majin arc includes Kid Buu and Super Saiyan 3 Gokū biting each other during their fight.
  • A few bits from the English dub of "The Final Chapters" played in a Toonami promo, and included is fake Vegeta from the "reenactment" of the Cell Games saying, “his coolness is over 9,000!” in a suspiciously familiar voice.
  • After Gohan casually flies 20 feet into the air during a game of baseball, one of his dumbstruck opponents in the background says in a slightly whiny tone of voice:
    Random Kid: I want the guy who breaks the law of physics on my team...
  • When Bulma presents Gohan with the watch which will cause his Great Saiyaman costume to appear on him, Trunks asks if he can have one. When he sees the costume, he says, "Y'know, Mom, on second thought, I'm good."
  • "Super Saiyan bargain sale" was such a great line that they kept it for the new dub.
  • Mr. Satan's face as he realizes his companions have taken their aircraft and left him behind with Majin Buu.
  • Black Comedy, but when King Yenma sends Vegeta back to Earth he puts their entire hopes in him. Keep in mind Vegeta failed to kill Majin Buu at his weakest and he's almost at his strongest by now.
    Vegeta: Me, as I am now? We're screwed.
  • When Vegito has been turned into a jawbreaker by Super Buu and starts beating up on him in that form, there's a bit where he's zipping around while Buu is fruitlessly trying to hit him with rapid speed, and at one point, Vegito stops and hovers to Buu's left, and Buu doesn't even notice, continuing to frantically punch at the empty air.
  • Mr. Satan decides that everything that's happened is a dream and tries to go flying, leaping from a cliff. The result is satisfying and hilarious.
  • Elder Kai, Kibitoshin, and Dende evacuate the World of the Kais so they'll be out of the line of fire while Goku and Vegeta confront Kid Buu. As they watch, Kibitoshin is horrified to realize that they left Mr. Satan behind. Elder Kai just says, "Eh, don't worry about it."
    • After Kid Buu spits out Good Buu, they figure out it was because the latter's influence was keeping the former from killing Mr. Satan.
      Elder Kai: Oh, well. If that makes it open season on this Mr. Satan fellow, it's no big loss.
      Kibitoshin: Don't be so callous! Sure, he is rather full of himself, and he's not particularly bright, and doesn't practice the best hygiene, but he is the last remaining human being. For now.
  • When the Earthlings refuse to give energy, Goku gets frustrated.
    Goku: HEY, WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR? OR DO YOU NOT CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO THE UNIVERSE, DUMBASSES?!
