DBZ internet humor in the Japanese fandom?

Post by Ringworm128 » Sun Nov 06, 2011 6:06 am

You know how we have things like "ITS OVER 9000!" or " "I'm just Saiyan." on the internet as jokes? Does the Japanese fanbase have any DBZ jokes that they use on the internet or other places?

Yamcha being blow up by the Saibamen - SKREE!

That's one even the game developers cash in on.

Broli seems to be some kind of joke what with the amount of videos like this...

Wow... Kirby-Broly. XD

That was actually funny. I never thought I'd say that in response to a Youtube video linked to in a thread about Internet humor.

I've made a few threads about the Broly thing before. There's a ton of videos with him, or even just the two-note music cue that plays when blows up the slaves' home planet. That seems to have become a thing of its own.

Hey, don't you have a account on Kirby's Rainbow Resort? I saw a user called kaialone and I wondered, Also when I started watching Dragon Ball Z in Japanese and heard Oolong's voice I thought it sound like Escargon.

I'm pretty sure "Kuririn no koto ka" ("Are you talking about Kuririn?!") is a 'meme' of sorts in the Japanese fandom, isn't it?

Gee, thanks a lot! Every time someone posts links to Broli meme videos I always end up wasting so much time clicking on related videos. :lol:

I've just found a Pokemon parody. Can't read Japanese, but it must be Pocket Monsters - Special Broli Edition. As you can "play" an NES (or SNES. Can't remember) in Pokemon RBGY, it also contains Super Broli Bros., effectively making it two parodies in one.

...

I love the internet.

Forgot about the Broli vids http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MeEMkqSNsc4 Don't forget Triple Broli! As both a hardcore DB fan and hardcore Vocaloid/Utauloid fan I think this vid is awesome.

I really love Triple Broly :P I like how all the different " versions" of Broly are hanging out with each other. Makes me want to see a scenario where all different "versions" of Vegeta meet

Triple Broli is so funny. So many versions of Broli singing together.

I think we've found the funniest Dragonball parody ever here. That was amazing.
