{{quote| '''Dr. Briefs:''' ... Where did you get that muffin?<br />

'''Goku:''' Muffin button.<br />

'''Dr. Briefs:''' But I never installed a muffin button!<br />

{{quote| '''Krillin:''' Goku, you can't die! Here! I brought a senzu bean!<br />

'''Goku:''' I don't think that's gonna work.<br />

'''Krillin:''' Why not?<br />

'''Goku:''' I sort've have a hole in my esophagus.<br />

'''Krillin:''' Wait, then how are you breathing?<br />

** Piccolo dresses up as Spike from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]''. James Marsters (Spike on ''Buffy'') plays Piccolo in ''[[Dragon BallDragonball Evolution]]''.

*** More specifically, since the fake Namekians were voiced to sound like the Plutonians from ''[[Aqua Teen Hunger Force (Animation)|Aqua Teen Hunger Force]]'', it is safe to assume they are referring to two characters from [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series (Web Video)|Yu-Gi-Oh the Abridged Series]] who were voiced like the Mooninites.

*** Little Kuriboh then makes an allusion to his own role as [[Yu-Gi-Oh!: theThe Abridged Series|Yami Yugi]]. When Freeza changes into his second form, he becomes larger and gets spikier horns. It's only appropriate that he uses his [[Dan Green]] voice for this form.

* [[Actually Pretty Funny]]: Subverted. Freeza makes a [[Double Entendre]] pun while dishing out a [[No -Holds -Barred Beatdown]] on Nail. Nail begins to chuckle, and Freeza thinks that [[Actually Pretty Funny]] is in effect. Then Nail reveals that he's actually laughing because he suckered Freeza into spending an hour flying nowhere special and then beating up a hopelessly outclassed opponent while Dende was heading back to Krillin and Gohan to help them use the dragonballs. Freeza quickly stops laughing.

* [[A Death in Thethe Limelight]]: A sort of common pattern in the Namek Arc; whenever a character storywise is going to die in the upcoming episode, they read the disclaimer. Otherwise, it's a character that gets the focus (usually Vegeta). Made [[Lampshade Hanging|painfully obvious]] in episode 29.

{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Krillin'''}}: "The following is a non-profit, fan-based parody. [[DragonballDragon Ball]], Dragonball Z and Dragonball GT are all owned by [[FU NimationFUNimation]], [[Toei Animation]], Fuji Tv and [[Akira Toriyama]]. Please support the official release." Phew. Alright, how was that?<br />

'''Voice Director''': That was perfect {{spoiler|Krillin}}. Eh... don't worry about your check. We'll send it to your next of kin.<br />

* [[A Date Withwith Rosie Palms]]:

* [[Affably Evil]]:

{{quote| '''Nappa:''' (looking at Tenshinhan getting pissed that Nappa just killed his friends) Oh Vegeta, I think I made him mad. Should I talk to him about it? The first step to solving your problems is healthy communication. (Tenshinhan tries to punch him) That was very rude. I was talking to VEGETA! (beats the crap out of Tenshinhan)}}

* [[A Good Name for Aa Rock Band]]: From Episode 21: Seizure Procedure

* [[Alas, Poor Villain]]: Invoked and Subverted. It seems like Vegeta might incur this in episode 28, but quickly admits he'd still be evil even if Freeza had not enslaved his race.

{{quote| '''Vegeta (to Goku)''': If this situation were reversed, this conversation would never have happened. You'd be dead, and I'd be laughing. Ahaha-ah, it hurts to laugh.}}

* [[Aliens Speaking English]]: "<I see we must speak the universal language>... English."

* [[All Just a Dream]]:

** The events of Episode {{spoiler|12}}. [[Or Was It a Dream?|Well, maybe.]]

{{quote| '''Jeice:''' Let's see, full moon, lose your tail, stronger every time you... oh. Well, I'm right f**ked, aren't I?}}

{{quote| '''Krillin:''' (taking Spirit Bomb) Holy crap, so ''this'' is what being important feels like!}}

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: [[In -Universe]], just as in many other abridged series.

{{quote| "I CAN SEE THE FUUUUTURE!!!"}}

** Jeice's voice actor in the [[FU NimationFUNimation]]/Saban dub (using Ocean Studios) gave Jeice something of a Liverpudlian accent. Chris Sabat at [[FU NimationFUNimation]] took that and turned it into an outrageously exaggerated Aussie twang instead. TFS beats it into the ground and pisses on it for good measure by turning Jeice into a full-on overly-jingoistic Larrikin.

{{quote| '''Krillin''': WE GET IT, YOU'RE FROM SPACE AUSTRALIA!!!}}

{{quote| '''Goku:''' '''AUGH''', spine! ''AUGH, RIBS!'' Definitely ribs!}}

* [[And Call Him George]]: Nappa and [[Star Wars|the Rancor]].

{{quote| '''Vegeta:''' I am here for it... Dragonball... I need that dragonball... Give it to me... One you took... Need my wish... SHUT UP GHOST OF NAPPA! I'M NOT CRAZY! YOU'RE CRAZY! ESPECIALLY YOU, NAPPA! Dragonball. Hand now, please.}}

* [[Anti -Humor]]: The "It's Over 9000" meme is intentionally and noticeably avoided.

{{quote| "Now to crush you like an Arlian."<br />

"A what?"<br />

{{quote| '''Freeza:''' "Tell me. Have you ever heard of planet Vegeta?"<br />

'''Nail:''' "N-no?<br />

* [[Arc Fatigue]]: Lampshaded [[In -Universe]] in Episode 24, where Krillin randomly is surprised at the fact that they're ''still'' on Namek. He also gives the fourth wall a nudge by noting that it feels like it's been a year since they got there, which is how long it's taken to do Episodes 13-24. (For the curious, the events in those episodes take place over six days).

* [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?]]:

{{quote| '''Vegeta:''' That...reminds me. [[Call Back|Did you do anything to me while I was unconscious?]]<br />

* [[Are We There Yet?]]: Nappa to Vegeta during their flight to Earth. Their ''year-long'' flight.

* [[Are You Done Yet?]]: Bulma and Ginyu do this to rants by Krillin and Vegeta, respectively.

* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: King Yemma describing his desk:

{{quote| '''King Yemma:''' And not just ''any'' mahogany! But mahogany from the planet Malchior 7! Where the trees are 300 feet tall and '''BREATHE FIRE!''' From these trees this desk was forged 2000 years ago using '''ANCIENT BLOOD RITUALS OF THE MALCHIOR PEOPLE!''' Not only does this make my desk '''NIGH INDESTRUCTIBLE,''' but it can '''BEND THE FABRIC OF THE UNIVERSE ITSELF!''' [[[Beat]]] ...Also it's a very fine material. Very expensive.}}

{{quote| '''Elder:''' What do you want from us? Why are you slaughtering our people?<br />

'''Freeza:''' Well you see, I was just in the area and I thought this would be a delightful place for a summer home what the *BEEP* do you think I'm here for?<br />

'''Elder:''' ...Our trees?<br />

* [[Atomic F -Bomb]]: Vegeta is rather prone to it.

* [[Ax Crazy]]:

* [[Bad Boss]]:

{{quote| '''Piccolo:''' "Yeah. That's right. I can take anything you can dish ou-''oh God there go my organs.''"}}

{{quote| '''Recoome:''' "Vegeta! You think that just because you're the Prince of all Saiyans, you're the best there is at what you do, but let Recoome tell ya somethin', [[Hulk Hogan|brother]], you ain't no Wolverine, and you ain't got what it takes to step up to a [[Booker T|FIVE-TIME CHAMPION!]] You see, Vegeta, you sit there and brag about how the Saiyans are the mightiest warriors in the universe, how they're the most ruthless, but look where they are now...DEAD! You talk about your legends, your warrior race, and your pride, but that [[Dwayne Johnson|doesn't mean a damn thing to this man!]] BECAUSE THE NAME'S RECOOME, AND IT RHYMES WITH DOOM, AND YOU'RE GONNA BE HURTIN', ALL TOO SOON!"}}

{{quote| '''Goku:''' Soooo, are you that Freezer Guy?<br />

'''Freeza:''' I am '''Lord''' Freeza, yes.<br />

{{quote| '''Gohan:''' Hey Freeza! The human body is composed of 75% water! I am 100% '''DEATH'''! HAVE SOME!}}

{{quote| '''Burter:''' Speed of light and strength of all<br />

'''Recoome:''' The Ginyu Force shall make them fall!<br />

'''Jeice:''' We're King Cold's army's strongest force<br />

'''Guldo:''' We'll beat them all, secure the course!<br />

'''Ginyu:''' If trouble meets us as we pass<br />

* [[Badass Decay]]: Mentioned by King Enma while [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|mentioning future plot events]].

{{quote| '''King Enma:''' I'm the closest thing to a god in this show! Until you get to the Kais... then I'll be ''horribly'' insignificant. }}

* [[Bad News, Irrelevant News]]: Nappa uses this in ''Bardock: The Father of Goku Abridged'' to a young Vegeta.

{{quote| '''Nappa:''' "Well, I've got good news and bad news. The bad news is, reports say [[Earthshattering Kaboom|our entire planet has been destroyed by a gigantic meteorite]], along with all its inhabitants. [...] Aaaaaaand your father [...] But the good news is, we're going to DAIRY QUEEN!!"}}

** During the Christmas Special, Krillin wished for best Christmas tree from Shenron, and Shenron delivered...

{{quote| '''Gohan:''' I...you...healed me.<br />

* [[Better Byby a Different Name]]: Done in-universe by Vegeta.

{{quote| "I liked that show (''[[Bleach]]'') better when it was called ''[[Yu Yu Hakusho]]'', and I liked ''that'' show better when it was called [[DragonballDragon Ball|Dragonball Z]]!"}}

** One of the outtakes has Vegeta yelling various levels of [[Big No]] in response to Nappa asking "[[Are We There Yet?]]" once.

* [[Big "What?"]]: Piccolo, while channeling [[Stone Cold Steve Austin]] in ''Lord Slug''. Mostly yelled at Gohan.

{{quote| '''Dr. Briefs:''' Damn moonspeak!}}

{{quote| '''Freeza:''' "And now, for your other glubok!"<br />

{{quote| '''Piccolo:''' "No, no, no-- ''*snap*'' Oh god, my glubok!"}}

{{quote| '''Krillin:''' I don't wanna die a virgin!<br />

'''Popo:''' Boy, you really need to watch just what you say...<br />

** Episode 19. Bulma and Vegeta... [[All Just a Dream|Which turns out to be a dream]]. Edges with [[Crosses the Line Twice]]; also with [[Rape Is Love]] and [[Aren't You Going to Ravish Me?]], considering how Bulma and Vegeta [[Happily Married|end up later]].

*** One of the evil minions happily flashes back to the time where he raped [[But You Screw One Goat!|Rudolf]].

{{quote| '''Krillin''' ''(after hearing the henchman's story of how he killed a cancer patient)'': God, you are one of the '''''worst''''' mall Santas ever -- right behind those ones that molest kids!<br />

'''Minion''': So I'm the ''worst'' mall Santa?<br />

{{quote| '''Dende:''' The better question is, why did I tell him he was immortal?}}

{{quote| '''Freeza:''' Minion 43 could you come to the bridge? I need an example.<br />

'''Minion 43:''' An example of what Lord Freeza--''(explodes)''<br />

{{quote| '''"Ha! [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?|Nice try, jackass]] Next time, give it your A-game!"'''}}

* [[Bond One -Liner]]: Goku, of all people, makes one when he thinks he killed Freeza "You could say he suffered a bad case of...freezer burn."

* [[Brain Bleach]]:

* [[Bratty Half -Pint]]: Chaotzu

* [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick]]: A very straight example and in-universe:

{{quote| '''Freeza:''' Oh good! I'll stop by [Earth] on the way home. Get some [[Space X|space]] eggs, some space milk, and '''''BLOW IT THE F**K UP!!!'''''}}

* [[Bread, Eggs, Breaded Eggs]]: Freeza spends the first part of Episode 27 assessing his situation (with all those dead subordinates and all) while effortlessly dodging Vegeta's attacks. When he gets to what to send the Ginyus' families, he considers gift baskets and wine before kicking Vegeta's ki blast back and deciding on gift baskets ''with'' wine.

{{quote| '''Vegeta:''' Nine minutes eighteen seconds, nine minutes eighteen seconds.<br />

'''Nappa:''' What's that, Vegeta?<br />

* [[Breathless Non -Sequitur]]: Vegeta's rapid-fire conversation with Gohan in Episode 18.

{{quote| '''Nappa:''' Vegeta, look! [[Memetic Mutation|Imma firin' mah]]--BLAAH!}}

** [[Fun Withwith Acronyms|Freaky Alien Genotype]]. Vegeta says this after killing [[Mistaken for Gay|Zarbon]].

{{quote| '''Gohan:''' "I may be smaller than you, younger than you, and weaker than you, but I know much more about Peach Farming than y-- I think this was a horrible mistake."}}

** In 2009, Team FourStar made "Yamcha the Scarfaced Bandit", a parody of "Rudolph the Red-nosed Reindeer". One year later, guess what the minion Yamcha attempts to fight is playing on his scouter?

** In Episode 25, Piccolo mentions something about Nail adding him on [[My SpaceMyspace]]. This goes back to the contents of ''Episode 1''.

{{quote| '''Freeza:''' I feel like we've been here before, have we been here before?}}

{{quote| '''Gohan''': So that means we should-?<br />

{{quote| '''Goku''': So are you that Freezer guy?<br />

'''Freeza''': ''[beat]'' I am '''Lord''' Freeza, yes.<br />

'''Goku''': Awesome, Imma deck you in the shnoz!<br />

'''Freeza''': ''[beat, followed by dropping Vegeta humorously]''<br />

'''Vegeta''': Ow.<br />

{{quote| '''Freeza''': [[NoWon't Work On SellMe|No seriously]], ''Kaio what?''<br />

{{quote| '''Piccolo''': Di...did you just hold a grudge?}}

* [[Broken Record]]: Vegeta's ability to speak coherently [[Sanity Slippage|declines rapidly]] during his [[Freak -Out]] in Episode 18.

{{quote| '''Bulma:''' Whatever happened to Launch?}}

* [[Buffy -Speak]]: "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=dPIJLU1DkiI#t=81s Well it is a little corpsey]"

* [[Butt Monkey]]:

* [[Call Back]]: Piccolo mentions that he switched from [[My SpaceMyspace]] to "Spacebook" in Episode 25.

{{quote| Huh. Should've known that was a one-hit wonder.}}

{{quote| {{spoiler|Popo}}: Called it.}}

{{quote| '''Gohan:''' Abandon me for a year with Piccolo... Send me off into space... And the next time I get to see you, you lost your damn body!? YOU'RE NOT EVEN YOU ANYMORE! }}

** [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played with]] in Episode 10:

{{quote| '''Vegeta:''' "I'm going to end this with a BIG BANG! ... kind of attack."}}

** [[Playing Withwith a Trope|Played with]] in Episode 2:

{{quote| '''Goku:''' "FULL NELSON!"<br />

* [[I Cannot Self -Terminate]]:

{{quote| '''King Kai:''' This is King Kai. Wish these idiots of my planet before I kill myself.<br />

'''Krillin:''' Wait, can gods kill themselves?<br />

* [[Canon Dis ContinuityDiscontinuity]]: Christmas Tree of Might. Lampshaded at the very end. And during the credits sequence.

{{quote| '''Vegeta:''' (''still on Namek'') This is so non-canon it hurts.}}

{{quote| '''Nappa:''' Hey, Vegeta.<br />

'''Vegeta:''' What is it?<br />

'''Nappa:''' We're in prison, Vegeta.<br />

'''Vegeta:''' I see that, Nappa.<br />

'''Nappa:''' Hey.<br />

'''Vegeta:''' What?<br />

'''Nappa:''' Don't drop the soap.<br />

**

{{quote| '''Nappa:''' "Vegeta... I can fly!"}}

{{quote| '''Gohan:''' (exposition of something terrible that just happened)<br />

* [[Card -Carrying Villain]]: Vegeta in the first season.

{{quote| '''Vegeta:''' That's it, everyone dies! Say goodbye to your planet, Kakarot!<br />

'''Goku:''' That's not very nice.<br />

* [[Celebrity Impersonator]]: Or rather voice actor impersonator.

** Kaiser Neko for [[Sean Schemmel|Sean Schemmel's]] King Kai, [[Eric Vale|Eric Vale's]] Future Trunks, and a remarkably good Yajirobe.

{{quote| ''[Gohan disappears from Nappa's sight as he tries to stomp him]''<br />

{{quote| '''Guru:''' "I shall henceforth be known as Super Kami. No wait... Super Kami Guru."}}

* [[Cluster F -Bomb]]: Subverted. Vegeta goes into a long rant, most of which can't be heard over the beeps of Jeice's scouter. During [[The Stinger]] of that episode, the rant is heard without the beeps, but it turns out to be a [[Minor Insult Meltdown]] or string of [[Unusual Euphemism|Unusual Euphemisms]] instead.

{{quote| '''Vegeta:''' "Son of a g{{spoiler|um-chewing}} f{{spoiler|unk monster}}! Why the f{{spoiler|ruit}} does all this f{{spoiler|unny}} s{{spoiler|tuff}} happen to me?! F{{spoiler|orget}} my life! Always surrounded by miserable f{{spoiler|ail}}ing clods! Like this whole world just likes to bend me over and [[The Big Lebowski|f]]{{spoiler|[[The Big Lebowski|ind]]}} [[The Big Lebowski|me in the A]]{{spoiler|[[The Big Lebowski|lps]]}}! Like I'm some sort of s{{spoiler|chlock receptacle}}! Well as far as I care, these miserable c{{spoiler|ow}}s can have a f{{spoiler|ancy barbeque}}, with a Goddamn pig!"}}

{{quote| '''Vegeta:''' You know, I'm surprised you're here, Ginyu; I thought you'd be busy polishing Freeza's boots.<br />

{{quote| '''Freeza:''' Unfortunately, Vegeta and I were having ourselves a disagreement. He wanted himself to live, and well...I didn't.<br />

'''Goku:''' Why do you want to die?<br />

'''Freeza:''' Wha-? No! I-I-I meant-I meant I want ''him'' to di-<br />

** In Episode 28 this is taken another step: a character who was [[Almost -Dead Guy|horribly wounded at the end of 27]] (yes, he did the message for that episode) does it for this one too... slowly... and in great pain.

{{quote| '''Dende:''' Mr. Gohan, those things on that person's chest, what are they?<br />

'''Gohan:''' Oh, on Bulma? Those are breasts.<br />

'''Dende:''' They look lovely. I wish to nestle between them.<br />

* [[Cross -Dressing Voices]]: Chaotzu and Puar are both voiced by Megami33.

{{quote| '''Reporter 2:''' Mr. Kent, if you had to come up with a word for how dead he is, what would it be?<br />

{{quote| '''Dorodabo:''' '''''[weakly]''''' ''Please'' don't break mah arm...<br />

'''Piccolo:''' '''''[deadpan]''''' No.<br />

{{quote| '''Vegeta:''' "[[Rapid -Fire "No"|Nononono]] FUUUUUUUU--" ''[[Meanwhile Back At The|(scene change) (scene changes back)]]'' "--UUUUUUUUCK!"<br />

{{quote| '''Krillin:''' "Why's that Space New Zealand guy here?"<br />

* [[Cutaway Gag]], [[Last -Second Word Swap]], and [[Smash Cut]]: Bulma, Goku, and Vegeta get in on this in Episode 17.

{{quote| '''Bulma''' ''(after seeing Zarbon)'': Oh my God, he's so hot! I just wanna grab him and--<br />

'''Goku''' ''(doing upside down crunches)'': ...sixty-nine, seventy, seventy--<br />

{{quote| '''Piccolo''': And we're just gonna abuse it?<br />

'''Nail''': Oh, ''maliciously''.<br />

* [[Death Byby Adaptation]]: {{spoiler|Ginyu. Vegeta was about to let Ginyu go, seeing as he already killed seven of Freeza's elite warriors.}}

{{quote| '''Vegeta''': {{spoiler|Psyche! Eight for eight! *SQUISH*}}}}

* [[Defeat Equals Explosion]]: The use of this trope in ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]]'' itself is lampshaded.

{{quote| ''(Vegeta hits the ground, large explosion. Later, he crawls out.)''<br />

{{quote| '''Raditz:''' ''(stomps on Goku’s ribs)'' STOP IGNORING ME!<br />

** In episode 4, during the [[Shout -Out]] to [[PacmanPac-Man]], Goku stops in the maze to eat a steak just laying there, while being chased by Princess Snake's head.

* [[Despair Event Horizon]]: Vegeta, upon realizing Goku is the last remaining Saiyen. His eyes say it all.

* [[Description Cut]]: When Goku wonders where Bulma is in episode 22, Krillin assumes she's doing "something girly". Cut to her fighting a [[Giant Enemy Crab]] underwater in a [[Mini -Mecha]].

{{quote| '''Goku''' I brought some senzu beans.<br />

* [[Did You Just Flip Off Cthulhu?]]: Freeza [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|calls God a jackass after trying and failing to strike him down]].

{{quote| '''Vegeta''': Idiot, you don't take your clothes with you when you die.<br />

'''Goku''': Well, I did.<br />

'''Vegeta''': [[What]]?<br />

'''Goku''': Yeah. Even had my weighted clothes on, too. And I didn't even die in those. Hmmm...<br />

* [[Discontinuity Nod]]: Done by Guru as he reads the disclaimer for Episode 24. He sounds audibly surprised that ''[[Dragon Ball GT]]'' is included on the list of [[Akira Toriyama]]'s ''[[DragonballDragon Ball]]''-related intellectual property.

{{quote| '''Dende''': (''To Freeza'') They're from Earth.<br />

'''Krillin''': Little Green, ''why??''<br />

* [[Distracted Byby the Sexy]]: Bulma upon seeing Zarbon. Until she sees him transform...

* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: ... let's just say this crops up a lot around Zarbon.

{{quote| '''Vegeta''': [[Double Entendre|Face down with another man beating your ass.]] Is it Wednesday already, Zarbon?}}

{{quote| '''Vegeta''': Now it's time to reveal my giant monkey... ''[camera over his crotch]''<br />

'''Crowd''': ''[collective gasp]''<br />

'''Vegeta''': ...form. ''[camera pans to his face]''<br />

'''Crowd''': ''[sighs of relief]''<br />

{{quote| '''Vegeta''': Now let me put this in a way you'll understand: I'm about to blow my load all over your insides...<br />

'''Zarbon''': What... the...<br />

{{quote| '''Goku''' (screaming due to his burning posterior): My butt is flaming!!<br />

{{quote| '''Goku''': Well, when I got down here, I ran into some really weird guys. One was really big and muscly, but he went down really easy. Then these two guys double-teamed me. One of them took it really hard in the back, but the other didn't seem that interested, so he went and brought this really horny guy.}}

{{quote| "This is amazing! I feel like a young, strapping lad, beating his meat furiously for the first time!"}}

** Takahata101

** [[Avatar: theThe Abridged Series|GanXingba]]

** [[JojosJoJo's Bizarre Adventure Abridged|Antfish]]

{{quote| "That thing's a GUY!?!?!"}}

* [[Early -Bird Cameo]]: Vegeta and Nappa in episode 1. Guru and Nail in episode 5. Trunks in episode 18. Cooler and an infant Broli in Bardock Abridged.

** In the pre-TFS abridged movies, most notably The World's Strongest, Goku was portrayed with as a [[Trickster]], being able to outwit his opponents. He was also portrayed as mean-spirited, especially towards Krillin, and swore often. These traits carried over into the first two DBZ Abridged episodes, after which Abridged Goku became the [[Delicious Distraction|food-obsessed]] [[Idiot Hero]] that is [[Too Dumb to Live]], but we all know now.

* [[Epileptic Flashing Lights]]: Jeice and Burter's combo attack "SEIZURE PROCEDURE!" It gives Krillin unlucky number 13 on his Owned Count.

{{quote| '''Goku''': Hey guys, what'd I miss? Oh... are they all? Tenshinhan... Piccolo... Yamcha... Oh wow, especially Yamcha.}}

* [["Everybody Laughs" Ending]]: Goku, Gohan, Krillin, and Piccolo have one after Goku's [[Bond One -Liner]], then subverted when Freeza reveals the Spirit Bomb didn't kill him.

* [[EverythingsEverything's Better Withwith Princesses]]: Princess Snake, who's voiced as though she were [[Metal Gear|Solid Snake]].

{{quote| '''Mr. Popo''' Prepare to be assimilated.}}

* [[Evil Sounds Deep]] / [[Creepy Monotone]]: Freeza in Episode 24.

{{quote| '''Freeza''': Oh no, don't mind me. By all means...(voice drops two octaves) '''Give me some ideas.'''}}

* [[Exactly What It Says Onon the Tin]]: Space Australia.

{{quote| '''Krillin''': So it's like Australia...<br />

* [[External Retcon]]: Episode 6 hangs a lampshade on King Kai's explanation for Planet Vegeta's destruction, [[Adaptation -Induced Plothole|which is completely at odds with series canon]]. Turns out that Freeza's a [[Wiki Vandal]]:

{{quote| "''[[Rocks Fall, Everyone Dies|Stupid monkeys hit by falling rocks]] [[Suspiciously Specific Denial|(not deathball thrown by Freeza)]]. Hahahahahahaha! P.S. Freeza rules you.''"}}

{{quote| '''Nappa''': Not that way. My arm doesn't bend that way! **crack** AWW, NOW IT DOES!}}

{{quote| '''Vegeta''': GAH! MY eye! Why is it always the goddamn eye!?}}

{{quote| '''Mook''': OH GOD ALL I CAN SEE IS GLASS AND BLOOD!}}

{{quote| '''King Kai''': He hung up on me! How did he even do that?!}}

{{quote| '''Jeice''' (right before getting blasted to Kingdom Come by Vegeta): Clever girl.<br />

* [[Faux Action Girl]]: Chichi gets to beat up one [[Mook]] during the Lord Slug movie with the "[[Calling Your Attacks|Housewife Style! Kick of a thousand menstrual cycles]]"

{{quote| '''Chi-Chi:''' See? Just because I'm a woman... ''[gets instantly knocked out by another henchman]''<br />

* [[Finishing Each OthersOther's Sentences]]: Done at least twice:

{{quote| '''Vegeta:''' All I have to do now is stay under the radar and not fly around like a jackass saying...<br />

'''Krillin:''' I've got a dragonball!<br />

{{quote| '''Zarbon:''' Maybe Lord Freeza won't find me if I just stay low and don't fly around like a jackass saying...<br />

'''Vegeta:''' Come to papa, you bald bastard!<br />

{{quote| '''Vegeta''': Look at you, Dodoria, you're always so damn proud. And now here you are, crying like a woman!<br />

'''Dodoria''': {{spoiler|I AM A WOMAN!}}<br />

{{quote| '''Nappa''': Good effort, [[It Makes Sense in Context|but I'm the Patty Cake Champion]]!<br />

{{quote| '''Yamcha''': [[Accidental Innuendo|But I waxed off everything. I waxed off your car, I waxed off your house, I even waxed]] [[Noodle Implements|off your monkey]].<br />

{{quote| '''Freeza:''' I've had a ''worse'' time, you know. It's not often I dirty my hands with this sort of grunt work. There's always a certain amount of satisfaction I get out of doing it myself.<br />

''[Freeza begins laughing - and after a few seconds so does Nail]''<br />

'''Freeza:''' Ah... it ''is'' kind of funny, isn't it?<br />

'''Nail:''' ''[still laughing]'' I'm laughing at something else, actually.<br />

'''Freeza:''' ''[still laughing]'' What?<br />

'''Nail:''' ''[still laughing]'' The Earthlings have the password.<br />

''[[[Beat]]]''<br />

{{quote| '''Zarbon:''' Too bad... and that Bardock was ''such'' a ''dashing rogue''...<br />

''[[[Beat]]]''<br />

{{quote| '''Mr. Popo:''' "See you all when you get back! Except... this season... ''(looks to Krillin)'' you..."}}

* [[Freeze -Frame Bonus]]: There is one in episode 15. [[Brick Joke|Try to]] [[Shmuck Bait|find it.]] {{color|white| (It's at 2:27.)}}

{{quote| '''Vegeta:''' Oh no, I'd ''definitely'' [[Card -Carrying Villain|still be evil.]] If this situation was reversed, this conversation would never have happened. You'd be dead, [[And There Was Much Rejoicing|and I'd be laughing.]] Ha ha, ouch [[Running Gag|it hurts to laugh.]]}}

{{quote| '''Goku:''' I ran into these really weird guys. The first one was big and muscly, but he went down real easy. Then these two guys double-teamed me. One of them took it really hard in the back, but the other didn't seem that interested, so he brought this really horny guy.<br />

*** And later... "Now it's a Nestlé Crunch bar! Now it's a gummi bear! Now it's Nappa!"

{{quote| '''Nappa''': "Wait, what the hell?"}}

* [[Fun Withwith Acronyms]]: According to Krillin, Freeza is a F.A.G., a Freaky Alien Genotype.

{{quote| '''Nappa''': Well, it's edited by the TIGER KITTY!<br />

'''Vegeta''': Kaiser Neko, Nappa.<br />

'''Nappa''': Kaiser-cat!<br />

'''Vegeta''': Neko...<br />

'''Nappa''': Meow! *materializes cat ears on his head*<br />

'''Dorodabo''': "...[[Late to Thethe Punchline|Hey!]]" }}

* [[Get a Hold of Yourself, Man!]]: When Vegeta is freaking out about the Ginyu Force Guru tells Nail to slap him. And Nail slaps Krillin. Still seems to snap Vegeta out of it.

The whole exchange is the page quote.

Well, as far as I care, these miserable cows can have a fancy barbecue, [[Subverted Trope|WITH A GODDAMNED PIG]]!!"}}

** Goku also delivers one of these as a [[Pre -Mortem One -Liner]] in Christmas Tree of Might and Lord Slug Abridged, the latter's line referencing this this trope's use in the official dub.

{{quote| '''Freeza:''' (after killing King Vegeta, without the usual exuberance associated with the phrase) "Yatta." (meaning, "I did it.")}}

*** This is also a Street Fighter reference to Chun Li's "Win quote," seeing as Freeza just killed King Vegeta with a Shoryuken and got the Street Fighter audio of "K.O.! You win!"

{{quote| '''Vegeta:''' Looks like he's been... ''disarmed!''<br />

'''Yajirobe''': Oh, well then I'm sure he was a total prick.<br />

'''Vegeta''': ''[attacks Yajirobe]''' ''How dare you talk about my father like that!'' }}

{{quote| '''Nappa:''' Vegeta! Look! A Pokémon.<br />

'''Chaotzu:''' I'm not a Pokémon, I'm Chaotzu! Chaotzu!<br />

'''Chaotzu:''' Ow!<br />

'''Nappa:''' Aww! It didn't work, Vegeta!<br />

'''Vegeta:''' That's because you have to damage it first.<br />

{{quote| '''Krillin''': Yajirobe, what were you doing here to begin with, anyways?<br />

'''Zarbon:''' Lord Freeza, Vegeta's really giving us a pounding!<br />

'''Freeza:''' I'm coming Zarbon! Quick, grab my balls!<br />

** Krillin and especially Super Kami Guru to Gohan. Since Guru's happened after the [[Acceptable Targets]] quote above, it's not clear exactly how innocent it is.

{{quote| '''Freeza''': "So, did you eliminate everyone on the planet?<br />

{{quote| '''Piccolo:''' Just wish me back.<br />

'''King Kai:''' I guess we should ask Yamcha what he thinks.<br />

** Piccolo asks if Namekians are demons. This is a reference to his first appearence in [[DragonballDragon Ball]], when he was known as Demon King Piccolo.

** Also, during one of Krillin's "IcannotshutupwhenImscared" moments, he mentioned that he once had a crush on a boy that he thought was a girl. This actually happened with Krillin and Upa in one of the early chapters of [[DragonballDragon Ball]]. (Also counts as [[Shown Their Work]])
