Name a time a Dragon Ball reference in other media would have been effective
We've talked before about Dragon Ball references in other media, but have you ever watched a show/movie and thought at any point a Dragon Ball reference would have added to a scene or been funny?

Do you have any info about international non-English broadcasts about the Dragon Ball anime or manga translations/editions? Please message me. Researching for a future book with Dragon Ball scholar Derek Padula

In the 3rd Sonic film, some parts of the film take place in the UK and some take place in Japan. The UK scenes make several references to British pop culture like The Beatles and Harry Potter, so I would have liked to have seen the Japan scenes take homage to DB, especially considering Sonic has taken inspiration from DBZ.

A reference in Shameless would have been fun since Justin Chatwin (Goku) and Emmy Rossum (Bulma) played lead characters there.
I always found it funny watching Goku stealing cars and playing a scumbag in Shameless. I can't help but see Justin Chatwin as Goku despite Dragon Ball Evolution being...not the best.
