KOBAYASHI The Hot Dog Eater - DBZ parody

Post by SSJGoku93 » Wed Jul 28, 2010 3:39 am

Figured I'd see if anyone has ever seen this, it was a skit made in 2006 on Saturday Night Live featuring the competitive eater Kobayashi as a Super Saiyan who eats hot dogs to save people. It heavily parodies DBZ and gave me a few laughs, so enjoy (sorry the site had no embedding, so the URL is below)!

OMG, that is hilarious. I love how they used DBZ footage and even some of the music. Also, love the "translations". :wink:

Kooobayashiiii!
I remember this, Mike mentioned it on the podcast once and I went to check it out. Just as funny now as it was then.
The fact that they actually used Ore ga Yaranakya Dare ga Yaru's tune just astounds me.

I remember catching this on television. I was kind of in shock at the fact that they used the Japanese music, especially a song that was only used as an ending theme to one of the movies.
Trans rights, now!

Man, I remember seeing this when it was on... after all I watch SNL. Seeing this come on was surreal, to say the least. The last place you expect to see a Dragon Ball reference, especially what seems to be a homage to the series. There was nothing negative represented about Dragon Ball here, which I found quite surprising and refreshing.
I was Thanos before the MCU existed!
