Dragon Ball has a lot of toilet humor. Often literally. I remember last time I went through the series I sometimes turned on subs to see if I was missing anything because Funi changed a lot.The dub removed stuff like Bulma's much more explicit promises to Pilaf. It also changed Roshi freaking out on a plane ride because has to poop to something else. I think the dub just made it seem like he was claustrophobic. And this is why I don't care that the dub was pretty different from the original.
So I am sure we are supposed to think of Roshi's creepin' on Bulma as funny just like the fact he has to poop is funny. I just ignore it and move on.
Or maybe I just remember the wise words of Yahtzee, discussing how Resident Evil 5 has you mowing down black people in grass skirts and war paint. "Capcom aren't bad people, they're just idiots." That works well for a lot of things in my view.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.
Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!Well, it also tends to be really repetitive.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.That's just a given though.
But it's more that their joke pool isn't wide enough.
So they only ever re-use a small amount of jokes.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.From what I recall, Japan has a reason for repeating the jokes involving broadcast and their lack of reruns. I can't recall the precise reason, I think it's that though.
Improving as an author, one video at a time.They've been doing it for years on years.
Rules of the Internet 45. Rule 45 is a lie. Check out my art if you notice.There's cultural background at play. Humor isn't the same across the world. Take puns. Here puns get you groaned at. Japan loves puns. Obviously you see it with the names in Dragonball, but it's not just there. Puns everywhere. Similarly, Japan finds perverts exceedingly funny. Both the Loveable Sex Maniac and the Accidental Pervert. And to their credit, they also like seeing perverts being punished (See Roshi getting shot by Lunch, or every time a character in an anime gets punted to the moon after some perversion, accidental or otherwise)
I am pretty sure that to a Japanese Audience, Roshi's "quirks" are meant to be a source of humor and endearing the same way Captain Haddock's alcoholism is treated in Tintin as an endearing quirk and a source of humor, as opposed to the self destructive spiral it should be.
To be fair to that last point, I'm pretty sure western media has played alcoholism for laughs as well.

Ditto.
As I understand,
is a remix of a tune from, of all things, LazyTown.
I'm guessing that's the normal version we hear at the end then?
One Strip! One Strip!I also take it that you missed when that spiked in popularity not too long ago as a meme. It came up alongside the "x except whenever y happens, z also happens" meme. For example, "We Are Number One but the word one triggers duplication and makes the video slow down + get louder".

and
Pretty much. I knew about LazyTown, but never really watched it.
Had no clue it had any memes behind it either.
One Strip! One Strip!Also the actor who played the main guy that sang it had cancer and the meme helped raise awareness for a fundraiser that paid for his treatments.

This song needs more love.

Kinda sorta not really. That's a kinda complicated subject that I've seen many different conflicting sources on.
