I just skimmed through the television and found an old episode of the hillarious japanese programme Takeshi's castle. To my surprise their was an appearance of dodgy looking Goku cosplay man and a crazy guy dressed up as Master Roshi
For those of you who are not familiar with Takeshi's castle, it's like a japanese game-show which contestants do the most impossible and ridiculous tasks often making idiots of themselves and getting hurt in the process - Such as flying into brick walls, soaring into water on giant sponges, the list is endless. It makes for humorous viewing, especially as as far as i know nobody has ever actually won the show...
Just rooted through Youtube and managed to find this clip of the Mater Roshi moment, I appologise for the poor quality of the video but I just found it quite funny and random and thought to share it with you all.

Has anybody else found any random dragonball Z related cosplay clips or television appearances?

MXC in America has the footage from Takashi's Castle, with its own dub and goofiness. One chick was in a DB Goku outfit, complete with tail.
She busted her face on the log rolling.
And on G4's Ninja Warrior, one guy in the crowd was in full Saiyan Saga Vegeta getup.

I actually saw this exact episode of MXC not too long ago. Same damn thing you described. I tried to search for it on YouTube, but I couldn't find shit.

Next quest: Buy the Super: Broly and Super Hero Blurays, also Daima whenever that releases in the states. Also the Super Manga!
Fan of Dragon Ball Z and various other Anime since '98! ^^

After her was a Muten Roshi cosplayer (In the black kung fu outfit if I remember correctly), then Superman. Takeshi's Castle was quite popular here...
I can't think of any Dragon Ball moments but Kelly Osbourne once cosplayed as Lacus Clyne from Gundam Seed in one episode of her show...

Dude, I saw that guy ^__^
On the same like, in one of the music videos fro the woman that did the Gurren Lagann theme (Shoko.... Nakasawa?) there's a Vegeta cosplayer in the crowd near the end as well. I'd need to ask my brother which song it was.

Yeah sure! ^_^ Would be pretty fun to see some of them! Might inspire me for the London Expo next year if I decide to go.

Here is Mr. Satan the Disco King.
Here is the Disco King embarrasing his little girl.
Here's another Videl who is embarrased by her father
Some interesting fusions. Wonder what the result would be.
While not random, would say best DB cosplay I've seen in person was buddy of mine here:

Wow, some really great cosplays right there.
Two days ago I went as Bulma to a convention. I got a lot of sweet comments and I met a few other DB cosplayers. Even a Vegeta who almost stalked me D;
Probably the wrong topic for this but I just need to say this... I'm currently organizing this huge DragonBall cosplay group for a convention here in the Netherlands, and today we recruited a Captain Ginyu! I'm so thrilled XD

wow the Piccolo cosplay looks sooo sweet! I dread to think how long it must have taken him to have all that makeup done! - Good job it didn't rain
I'm in the process of making a fluffy brown Saiyan tail out of some fabrics; It's still in the working stages but it should fit like a belt but hang loosly (Like a Saiyan's tail unwound)
I had to try not to laugh at Hercule, he really does look like he is doing a disco diva thing. Anybody else got any funny cosplay photo's?

Actually that day it did rain. Let up later when I took that pic. Know he said it took him about 2-3 hours to get ready for that.

Originally they wanted me on the thing that said not to climb on. Didn't want to get on it, so came up with the disco idea. Let's face it, had to do a pic where Mr. Satan thinks he's cool, but Videl is shamed.
As for other pics:
Got a battle of Kamehameha vs Hadoken
Goku fighting against Akuma
Chi Chi fighting against
and eventually
defeating Akuma
And while this comic convention was a week before the movie came out and we agreed to have open minds, we couldn't resist:

I don't know about random, but this may just be the cutest Dragon Ball cosplay ever.

That Piccolo is my friend I mentioned. And either the Frieza or Gohan is Quantum Destiny who is a member here, and her sister.

I see you went to Kumori Con

I think I saw you in the halls a couple of times, actually.
I have to laugh seeing that other Mr. Satan cosplayer. There was a (very highly inappropriate) Gong Show game going on late one night at the con, and he kept trying to get points, but he always kept getting gonged
I saw that Piccolo up close the first night, and he really looked very awesome.
As for the most random cosplay I've seen....I could have sworn there was a Vegeta cosplayer in the background of an episode of Unbeatable Banzuke on G4, but I may just be mistaking that one for the previously mentioned one that was on Ninja Warrior.

Yeah, I was at Kumori. Also did Kenshin, Tuxedo Mask and Barret there. Piccolo friend also was Sagat and Riddick there.
