Alternate Reality DBZ is the ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]] Z'' version of ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'', created by a guy named SSJGozar. He refuses to call it ''DBZ [[The Abridged Series]]'' because every other parody series calls itself "The Abridged Series" (Just like [[Dragon Ball Abridged|Team Four Star's series]]).. Unlike ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh!]]'' and ''[[Naruto the Abridged Series|Naruto Abridged]]'', Gozar separates the story into different situations. However it begins to take a turn like ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!]]!'' and ''[[Naruto]]'' with doing it like a series. Similar to the other two, it mocks certain aspects of the storyline, the characters and even some lines from the original dub. However, this series is on par with ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh!: The Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]]'' and ''[[Naruto the Abridged Series|Naruto Abridged]]''.
 
There are currently 70 episodes.
Line 13:
* [[Are We There Yet?]]: In Episode 38, Piccolo keeps asking Goku this on their way to the location where the androids will appear. Once Goku threatens to kill him if he asks one more time, he rephrases the question.
{{quote| '''Piccolo''': Are we...not NOT there yet?}}
* [[Aw, Look -- They Really Do Love Each Other]]: Between Gozar and Team Four Star; [[Heterosexual Life Partners|a much milder and more platonic version, though.]] Gozar has taken his fair share of [[Take That|potshots]] at Team Four Star's series, even [[Death Note (Manga)|writing their names in the shinigami's notebook]] at one point {{spoiler|forgetting that he'd need their ACTUAL names for it to work}}. However, he has admitted in his "Gozar Speaks" segments that he's good friends with them, and members of Team Four Star themselves have not only cameoed in ADBZ, but openly stated in their first FAQ that they like his work and would be delighted to have Gozar in one of their episodes.
** For an interuniverse example, Piccolo and Gohan.
** [http://www.twitlonger.com/show/glp9cb Um.....][http://www.twitlonger.com/show/glqh0e On second thought, nevermind.]
Line 39:
* [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]]: [[Butt Monkey|Gohan]], [[The Chew Toy|who can]] [[Yank the Dog's Chain|never win a fight]]. But, if you [[Berserk Button|mispronounce manga or add a widescreen feature on the Dragon Ball Z DVDs]], he can kick anyone's ass.
* [[Deus Ex Machina]]- Vegeta in the movies.
* [[Everything's Better Withwith Penguins]] - The moral of episode 52 is that penguins are awesome.
* [[Fate Worse Than Death]]- "AT LEAST I'M NOT A MYSTIC LOSER!"
** The 4Kids dub of One Piece is also considered something worse than death as well.
Line 54:
** Played straight in Episode 22 when Vegeta refuses a bet that if the Giants beat the Patriots at the Superbowl, Gohan wouldn't be able to call himself "Mystic" anymore, not believing the then-undefeated Patriots could lose. Cut to the Giants beating the Patriots, much to his shock and rage.
* [[Hey, It's That Voice!]] - Doore from Episode 48 and 51 is voiced by Takahata101. He voices Nappa of [[Dragon Ball Abridged]].
* [[Hit Me Dammit]]: Goku's power scares Ginyu. Goku says for him to win, all he has to do is to watch a [[Fate Worse Than Death|4Kids Episode of]] [[One Piece (Manga)|One Piece]]. Ginyu refuses and Goku tells him to keep his cool. He then says "Okay, then all you gotta do is the Body Change!". Captain Ginyu proceeds to take out Goku.
* [[Ho Yay]] - Krillin and Nail, though one-sided on Nail's part.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]] - In the first Christmas special, Vegeta scolds Piccolo for getting the lyrics to Deck The Halls wrong. A minute later, he's shown altering the lyrics to Silver Bells wrong to make it sound vulgar.
Line 97:
* [[Talking to Himself]] - Goku, speaking to angry trunks: "When your voice got all high it sounded like mine!"
* [[Those Wacky Nazis]]: [[Adolf Hitler]] is apparently Vegeta's best friend. He also hates Mystic Gohan.
* [[Throw the Dog Aa Bone]]- The only person who liked Gohan (especially Mystic) was Piccolo in the early episodes. However, Piccolo later jumped on the Gohan-hate Bandwaggon. This was lampshaded at the end of the Majin Buu Saga retelling when Trunks [[Continuity Nod|reminds him of his meltdown when Gohan went on his first date.]] After that, Piccolo seems to be Gohan's friend again.
* [[Too Cool to Live]]- "Future" Gohan, ironically. Lampshaded in a title opening:
