I though the joke was that Gohan is too big (as in literally too tall) to cling to his father anymore.

Whatever it is, I want to laugh and maybe find it a little heartwarming.

A good spirited laugh. Not a mean spirited crack at Gohan's failures.

To be fair, Goku never does hug him back in those pictures.

Its not even a joke either, he really doesn't hug Gohan back when they thought they'd never see each other again.

Goku's a friendly guy but he's never been one for displays of affection like that.

I think he hugged his grandpa after finding out he was fighting him in that tournament or whatever but that's basically it, isn't it? Maybe Goten?

Edit: Not that he finds it annoying or a show of weakness like Vegeta would, he's just not that sort of guy.

He's a wild child who spent his formative years adventuring around the world seeking new masters and punching dudes in the face. Physical affection wasn't part of his upbringing after Grandpa Gohan died.

I think I've said this before, but given what we've recently learned about Saiyan families recently, the fact that Vegeta is a functional and actually pretty normal father is gut-bustingly hilarious to me.

It probably helps he grew up with a father unlike Goku, and he doesn't have brain damage.

That is true.

Also, he kinda gave up fighting for seven years, and really had nothing to do but train or spend time with his family, and as hard as he probably tried, I don't think even Vegeta can train 24/7.

The fact that he had nothing to train for likely made it even more empty.

Its kind of hilarious; Goku is perfectly happy to train, but is more or less casual about his family life. Vegeta would rather train, but seems almost uninterested in raising a family, but does so out of obligation and care.

What if Trunks, Goten and/or Marron took a school field trip to a local nature preserve?

What if park ranger Lapis started crying?

What if I am a better writer than anyone at Toei?

...I said Trunks and Goten, didn't I?

Also apparently 17 only went to see his sister's family once because he doesn't want her to know he's settled down and lame.

But I'm mostly thinking of the alien troublemakers burning everything down.

Okay, I still don't understand why he'd start crying because of Trunks and Goten.

...I mean, they're both troublemakers.

Mostly Trunks.

Between the Mighty Mask incident and everything with Gotenks.

Troublemakers that can cause a lot of property damage. Knock down lots of trees.

One of them looks like Goku so that probably sucks too.

17 would probably cry upon seeing Goten and Trunks, but only because they're both massive troublemakers and they can kick his ass, so it's not like there's anything he can do about it.

And yes, they can kick his ass.
