You might be a DB fan if...

Post by SSJ2bardock » Thu Aug 14, 2008 3:38 pm

I thought this would be a kind of fun topic, if you've ever seen Jeff Foxworthy then you know about his "You might be a redneck if..." jokes. So I thought it would be kinda cool to change it up with "You might be a DB fan if" jokes/experiences.

So everybody contribute your experiences and have some fun with this.

I'll start it of-

If you shower regularly to the song "Cha-La Head-Cha-La", you might be a DB fan.

If whenever you do multiplication you think of Kaio-Ken. I don't why I do this I just do! :?

If you can easily recall the time and date of the androids arrival, but not a loved one's birthday.
[quote="Rocketman"]
He (Gohan) is weaker. He has the fighting spirit of a wet noodle soaked in water until it barely resembles a noodle. A pebble is tougher than Gohan, because you could conceivably trip on a rock and stub your toe, while Gohan would yield like so much melted pudding. Vanilla pudding. Because he's too pansy-ass to have a strong flavor if he was pudding. Pure water has more flavor than hypothetical Gohan-pudding.

You might be a Dragonball fan if...

1) You have attempted to learn Japanese to some extent for the purpose of understanding the show in it's original context.

2) You have wasted an entire ink cartridge printing out pages of pictures, fan manga and Kanzentai's Daizenshuu Bonus Coverage pages.

3) You have dressed up as one of the characters for Halloween.

4) You have seen a tree and let DBZ movie 3 be the first thing to come to your mind.

5) You have ever done your hair so that it looks like that of one of the characters.

6) You have ever attempted to eat like Goku does.

7) You have thrown CD's around while screaming Destructo Disc...or used any other random object and pretended it was a Dragonball attack or item.

8) You have written your own Dragonball fan-fiction series that spans at least 7 pages.

9) You have ever attempted to make an elaborate cosplay outfit to match your favorite character.

1. If you have ever dreamed you can fly and power up, - Or dreamed of anything DBZ related.

2. You know all the songs off by heart and hum them in your car

3. You named your cat Puar or Korin

4. You yell and try and power up in the middle of a fight over a television remote

5. There is an invisible barrier around your DVD's and mangas. If anybody crosses that barrier you can feel it and have the urge to hurt them.

6. You try and take your DVD's with you on holiday, even though you know they probably won't play on the pants players provided. You then leave half of your clothes behind because they are not as essential as your precious discs, and you can't afford to fly with an overweight bag.

7. You can do the fusion and Saiyaman dance perfectly

8. You see a huge bald muscular guy in the street, you hit him hard and then ask if he is perhaps Spokovich or Nappa.

9. You ditch school and go and live in the woods like Goku.

10. You have ever stolen a washing prop line or a broom and tried to use it as a powerpole.

11. If you have ever gotten a plunger and stuck it to your head in the middle of a store yelling "Cell has got me!!!"
:P My brother has done that one! :P

You might be a Dragonball fan if you know that the manga/anime versions of Dragonball actually have a plot, and isn't just Super Saiyans fighting for 35 episodes.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

You might be a Dragon Ball fan if you played with your toys when you were a kid from when Goku met Bulma to the end of the GT.

You might be a dragonball fan if you make references to it outside the fandom where no one will get it.
[quote="Brakus"]For all the flack that FUNimation gets on this forum for their quote about DBZ, there's some modicum of truth to it: a 9-year-old is born every day. Or in some cases, "reborn". DBZ may be a kids' show, but it's been so close to so many hearts all over Japan, America, and quite possibly, even the world.[/quote]

You might be a DB fan if you go stealth style behind your friends in the line at lunch and say in your best first form Cell voice, "I'll absorb you next!"

If you can identify and name most of the animation studios that worked on the anime.

And if you can look at a picture of any of the main characters and immediately place it in the correct saga.

I can do that with Pic in a heartbeat- if it's a screenshot I can usually narrow it down to a specific incident in the show. Other chars it takes me more time.... but I can still do it < <

Sad, I know, but that's the point of this thread.
