"You just wait until it grows back!" is the funniest line in the series to me. It's straight up Monty Python shit. I actually wanted to see T-i-e-n grow his arm back, just so Nappa could punch it off again. That's what's so great about the line. It makes no sense even if he CAN grow back.

He's probably referring to the Bardock special. Zarbon was the one who first recommended destroying Planet Vegeta because the saiyans were rapidly growing in strength.
It was actually Beerus disguised as Zarbon #StayWoke

Like with Freeza, where he starts off over 10 times stronger than all his henchmen except Ginyu (because...well, just because), then we find out he can transform and get even more powerful, and then he reveals he can transform two more times, before finally coming out with the fact that he hasn't even been using anywhere near 50% of his power. Oh, and he can survive in the vacuum of space. All this stuff is just presented as the way Freeza is, without even an attempt at rationalizing it, yet the tone dictates we're supposed to take all this silly grasping at straws as thrilling danger. So I guess I don't really take the power inflation in the Boo arc seriously, but I don't take the power inflation in earlier arcs seriously either, so there's no net loss of seriousness. I think a silly story presented as serious is harder to accept than a silly story presented as silly.

Ocean Dub:

Cell: "If only i had completed my transformiction" :lol: One of the funniest moments.

Vegeta: "Your father was a brilliant scientest Kakarot" :thumbdown: Not one of my favourites.

Trunks: "You're going to destroy the planet, FATTTTTHERRRRR!!!!, you've got to stop it" Krillin: "Let's get out of here" Vegeta: FINAL FLASH!!!!! RAAAAAGHHHHH!!! Cell: "What's this" :D My favourite moment

Funimation:

Jeice screaming whenever he does a pose :lol:

Vegeta: "It's amazing how every time you open your mouth, you prove you're an idiot" Vegeta to Bulma.

I could probably come up with many more.

lol Yea seriously, anything with Vegeta and Bulma bickering back and forth are classic. Goku and Vegeta are funny because Goku loves to bust his chops and all you get from Vegeta is "shut up Kakarot" lol

The entirety of the Speedy/Malaysian dub. Bring some friends over, get a little buzz going with some drinks, and it becomes the funniest thing on the planet.

The german version of DBZ is worth it just for the casual swearing and stuff :P

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v55t5jnhz5s

Cell going "Oh shit" is jsut the tip of the ice berg. I mist vividly remember the stuff Goku said when he trid to make Oob mad so he´d fight back. Literally called Oob´s mom a slut and his dad a piece of shit. All while sounding so cheery. It has to be ehard to be believed.

Also Vegeta´s first german voice, which was also the german voice of Spongebob.

Aaand the like first 50 epsiodes of the Original Dragonball in german, because they were ridiculously consored, in a way. Like first epsiode, Bulma shoots Goku, and right afterwards goes "its just BBs". Suuuure Bulma.
Also Goku stripping Bulma to check if she has balls was weirdly censored. They didnt cut it out, but like. When he went "pat pat" on her in german they had him go "She is a heavy sleeper. Hopefully she isnt dead!" And then he strips her, and I guess we´re are supposed to think he does so to...check her pulse? I´m not even sure :p
And when she does wake up from his screaming he goes "its a ghost!" which is the thing that makes Bulma think the Dragonballs might´ve been stolen.
Really the whole thing is a mess.
Kinto Un was called "Super Sonic Cloud", the Nyoibo was called "Magic Wand" and to make him extend Goku would shout "Appear, Magic Wand!"
And the Kamehameha, most iconic attack of Dragonball, was called "Shock Wave of the old Ancestors", and whenever he used it Son Goku would go "Shockwave, FLY!"

But then after 50 episodes or so, from one episode to the next it feels like, the translation suddenly became rather good, they mostly used the proper names, or at least pretty close oes, and they did no censoring anymore. And they never referenced the old names ever again for the msotpart. So as a kid you had no way of understanding why the "shockwave" was suddenly called "Kamehameha" and stuff. Welp.

Whoops...seems I accidentally posted inspiring quotes, not recognizing that the thread specifically called for DUMB lines. Sorry about that. Well if we want dumb lines...

Vegeta: Excuse me Mr. Hotpants (to Krillin while he was commenting on his Saiyan armor on Namek).

Anyone want me to post the inspiring lines, or would that go too much against the spirit of the thread?

Come, magic cloud! is one of my favorites. There's lots of gold from the Big Green dub.

Also, "Everyoneofmyracecanbecomeagiantgorilla" at the 25 second mark in this video (pay attention to Tenshinhan's voice too if you watch the whole thing):

Holy cosmos, Batman! Gotta love Brian' Drummond's Vegeta.

Also, the "I can't believe this!" line reminded me of Dr. Eggman from Sonic Adventure 1 where he goes "No way, I can't believe this!"

I'm sorry, but that's actually Sabat. Back when everybody just imitated Ocean.

And yeaaaaaaa!!!! 500 posts!

Oh yeah, you're right. I sometimes forget that early FUNi Vegeta is Sabat because of how similar he sounds to Drummond. Also, congrats on 500 posts.

Here's another one I just found from the Malaysian dub:

Half of that only appears in the German anime version though and is not censored in the manga itself. Also Santiago Ziesmer has had a quite evil vibe in his Vegeta voice. Nevertheless Oliver Siebeck brings out Vegeta's arrogance and ...holeness more out.
