He's not overly emotional, but you can hear the pain when he thinks of his children being killed off and unlike the constant cutaways to Bulma, The Grand Elder does add some tension to the story. Will he live long enough for the good guys to get their wishes? And what cutaways have him literally saying nothing?

This one

That's not him being stoic, the purpose of the scene is to show that he doesn't have much time left. The sillier bit was the LONG pan up the pillar.

Does the scene where Trunks knocks over Piccolo's statue in the Buu arc count? I mean the scene is pretty much played for laughs, especially after Dabura dies and Krillin turns back to normal and then we see Trunks scared out of his mind realizing that he possibly killed Piccolo. He flies up there and sees Piccolo in half too before coming back down. And yet Piccolo regenreates off-screen in like a split second, far faster than he could ever regenerate his arm in DBZ.

The way Piccolo appears and then immediately ducks for cover and says, "IS THAT MAJIN BUU?!?!" without giving an explanation at first to Trunks on how he's alive always made me laugh.

I think that counts. You found it unintentionally funny. Knocking over the statue was played for laughs but the ducking wasn't.

Motivational Piccolo is the best one. That scene became a major Dragon Ball meme among italian fans.

The scene where Lupin Vegeta killed the Namekian Village it's another example, and the scene where Frieza eats a crab. That makes me chuckle every single time.

"Having these balls makes me feel something that resembles joy I think. I want to caress them".

Freeza's Ocean Dub line on Namek. All these years later I think they weren't trying to be funny.

During the filler Garlic JR saga, there's a scene in the Funimation dub where Krillin is falling out of the lookout, knocked out. Gohan tries to save him but two of Garlic JR's henchmen (Ketchup or Mustard or whatever their names were lol) start ganging up on him.

Gohan looks again at Krillin's lifeless body as it is falling back down to Earth. Gohan then gets enraged and blasts the 2 henchmen away, with two blasts hitting both of the henchmen's chest. Below are their last words.

Henchmen # 1: AAAAH!! NO WAY!!
Henchmen # 2: "DARN! YES WAY!!

Such cheesy corny 90's lines lmao. The typical 2 big oafs with deep masculine Recoome like voices hahaha. I crack up every time I see that.

Trunks looking for the dragon radar while SSJ3 Goku is fighting Fat Buu is hilarious.

Mainly because Bulma's parents are so clueless and they have no idea how urgent the situation is and Trunks is running around panicking. Bulma's father acting senile and her mother asking Trunks if he wants some food was great. You see Trunks looking through every room in the house until Bulma calls and tells him the radar was in their aircar.

Honestly Bulma's mother is probably the most unintentionally funniest character in the show. Especially that dub voice FUNI gave her with that accent.

Look at this...this...genius, IMAGINATIVE fight choreography, that FLUID animation! See how frenetic their movements are, how much ENERGY there is in each and every blow! And those punches? Oh yeah, they're TOTALLY connecting, just take our word for it!

I'm certain all of that was intentionally funny.

From the Latin American dub "STAY STILL DONT YOU SEE I'm GOING TO KILL YOU"

Now to everyone who hated and dissed TV Tropes...WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ALL MY LIFE!? I LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU!

I'm glad I'm not the only one who hates that place.

Fat Buu's dub dialogue is funny due to the "elmo-like" voice. Especially in the random scenes Fat Buu is blowing up cities while everyone else is training and nothing is going on.

Maybe this isn't exactly Narm, but when Gohan goes Super Saiyan 2 in the dub, and they have Nadonly scream, and then stop, and then start screaming again. Like she ran out of breath halfway through and they're like "oh, quick, we've got to add another one in!'

Honestly, half of the random screaming can reach Narm territory. Especially when it's dragged out too long.

That would definitely fit, they aren't going for funny, but a bad performance and it's chuckle worthy. In fact, the entire transformation is laughable in the dub. They are going for earnest, and miss the mark completely. Spelling things out with the internal monologue undercut the emotion and it's now funny. I didn't laugh, but I could see where someone would at what is very lazy writing accompanied by awful acting.

In all fairness, have any of you ever tried to scream for that long? It's not exactly an easy thing to do. A lot of voice actors are able to hold it for quite some time, but even for some of the longer screams - like Goku's transformation into SS3 - they've had to cut more than one scream of theirs together to make it work.

It's a wikipedia-like site that focuses on tropes (literary devices) used in media.

You don't need that site to discuss tropes, however.

It is a wiki for "literary devices" or tropes found in pretty much all media. So people are like: here is a page for "Dragon Ball" and they list things in Dragon Ball that are used in other media, and link those pages together. E.g. have a trope for an antagonist that turns good, I think they use the term "Heel Face Turn" from WWF. So you can link any piece of media that has that trope. It can easily lead you into a nostalgia-heavy wiki-walk that takes hours.

I think it started as a result of Wikipedia's "notoriety" policies, kicking out most minor or irrelevant articles on obscure or fannish media, since they were overwhelming the encyclopedia portion of that site.

TVTropes has gotten controversial with time, for many reasons. There are some spinoff sites like All the tropes, etc.

I know it's a low hanging fruit, and I really do hate to bring it up. But without a doubt, the funniest scene in any piece of Dragon Ball media, unintentional or not, has to be OceanDub!Tenshinhan's mutiliation.

Vegeta: "So. Now he's unarmed".

Tenshinhan: [mildly annoyed] "Ahhh. Owww. You just wait 'til it grows back."

The animation helps. The best part is that it's funny on multiple levels. For example, even if we accept that Ten can indeed regenerate, why does he say "you just wait 'til it grows back"? Uh, Ten, I'm pretty sure Nappa would just punch it off again. Then there's the delivery, the out of nowhere nature of this supposed ability, and Vegeta's reaction... it's just perfect on every level.
