There's also a DBZ parody in the shounen bread-baking series (seriously :P) Yakitate Japan. One of the breads causes the head judge to become Super Kuroyanagi. He then has an epic battle against another character whose body changes into a freezer.

I just saw a small but magnificent one in an insane little series named Hare + Guu Delux. Parodies the weighted training clothes and takes a pretty heavy nod from the scene where Son catches Nappa's back with his one finger. I can't begin to explain how hilareous it was.

The show's insane, delightful and very well done. Second part of a show named *drumrole* Hare + Guu.

Saw a spoof in the back pages of one issue of Toyfare magazine several years ago. It's showing Goku's biography and Krillin attacks Fin Fang Foom for Dragon Balls and Goku tells him he got the wrong type of "Dragon Balls".

"Sparking!" always gets me! It's already funny, but the fact that they actually put "Sparking!" in there at the end makes me laugh so much harder!

The Funniest parody that I ever saw was a Bush and Cheney magazine advertisment. Bush was dressed as Goku, and Cheney was Vegeta, and they were battling it out.

That sounds hilarious, do you know where we could see it? If not, do you remember what magazine it was in?

I honestly don't remember what magazine it was in. It was like TIME or something. I think it was at a doctor's office or something that I went to, I seriously wanted to rip it out and take it home.

Here's another Parody I did, it's more than just Dragon Ball, but is mostly Dragon Ball/Z/GT:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wrE3RiPgWBU&fmt=18

At around 1:00 there's audio from the Daizenshuu EX Podcast, Episode 0061.

It might be funny, I'm not sure. Sometimes, if I make something really funny, it takes me a few days before I can laugh at my own stuff. It's a weird habit of mine. But with some other stuff, I laugh my ass off when making it.

I think that Dragonball parodies are a large part of what lets us pass the time between new releases and so many re-releases.

It's funny because of the HI-larious sex talk!

It wasn't great.

But the "New Arlia" part made me smile.

haha Yeah, that and when chaotzu gets hit with the final flash. Other than that it's not all that funny.

Another parody I did, this time a commercial for Burst Limit.

I seem to notice that the Kamehameha! ad's only play on [adult swim] so I redid the commercial with characters from shows that play on [adult swim]:
