Humour
Akira Toriyama’s ludicrous and sometimes perverted sense of humour is what has kept me an avid fan of the Dragonball series’ for over ten years and it is that which I pay homage to on this page. Please laugh with me as we explore the funny, the stupid and the downright idiotic jokes that make DragonBall so damn great. <3

How it came about: Goku barges in on Bulma in the bath and the subject of conversation turns to his age.
Goku: I'm not a little kid.
Bulma: Oh, really? How old are you then?
Goku: Fourteen.
Bulma: Fourteen?
Goku: Yeah. Fourteen.
Bulma: *screams and throws things at a quickly departing Goku*
Peeping Tom! Pervert! You're only two years younger than me!

How it came about: Pilaf and his lackey Shuu are discussing how much ‘better’ the world would be should Pilaf be it’s unchallenged ruler.
Pilaf: If someone as kind-hearted as I were to conquer the world, it world be for the sake of the world and its people!
Shuu: Yes, of course...
Pilaf: The minute I achieve world domination, this world will be purified! I am refined, after all! Those who dare urinate in public will pay the price! If anyone so much as farts, I'll chop them up and make pilaf out of them!
*he farts*

How it came about: Yumcha and Puar have hatched an insidious plan to lure Bulma out of Oolong’s mobile home so that, without the distraction of a pretty female, Yumcha will be able to rob the gang. However, while scooping out their stronghold Yumcha happens upon a slightly shocking sight.
Bulma: *meticulously washing herself*
Yumucha: *outside* I can hear the girl's voice...!
Puar: It'll be easier to draw her out if the other two are asleep!
Yumucha: Let me see...
*looks through the window only to find a very naked Bulma*
Puar: Yumcha-sama! What's the matter?!
Bulma: *peers out the window* I could swear I heard something...
Yumucha: This is a nightmare! I just saw the greatest thing in the world...!

How it came about: Assuming he’s alone Yumcha searches Oolong’s mobile home for the DragonBalls.
Yumucha: What are those bulges? Did they really thing nobody would find them here? The Dragon Balls are mine--
*reaches out and squeezes the sheet covered 'bulges'*
Huh? They're strangly soft...
*pulls sheet off to uncover (again) a very naked Bulma and screams*

How it came about: After meeting Chichi an innocent and seemingly insignificant exploration by Goku turns out to mean more than he could ever realise.

I was right, you don't have a wiener! You're a girl!.

*pushes Goku off the Kinto Un*
ELSEWHERE
Ox King: I wonder if Goku managed to find my daughter?
Bulma: I sure hope he doesn't try patting her crotch...
BACK TO CHICHI & GOKU
Goku: What was that for? I didn't do anything to make you that mad...
Chichi: [screams] What're you talking about?! You did something really bad!
Narrator: However, she felt that now she had been kicked there, her only choice was to become this boy's wife!

Goku: Yeah.
Chichi: I'll make sure!
Master Roshi: *muttering to himself distractedly*
Chichi: *throws the blade from her hat directly at Roshi's back*
If you're really him, you should be able to dodge this!
Master Roshi: *attempts to stop the attack with his cane, which the blade cuts straight through*
*screams*
Turtle: Are you alright?!
Chichi: You arn't Muten Roshi-sama!
Master Roshi: Imbecile! Nobody could have dodged that!

Master Roshi: Here! My driver's licence! Have a look at the name!

How it came about: For their first test of strength, endurance and will Muten (Master) Roshi throws a signed rock into a nearby forest and gives Krillan and Goku a 30 minute time limit to find it. Their prize for completing the task: supper. Though Goku originally finds the rock Krillan manages to trick him into giving it over and wins the competition. However, Krillan soon discovers that what goes around, comes around.
Launch: How is it?
Master Roshi: Launch-san, delicious!
Krillan: Yeah, this is quite good!
Here, Master Roshi-sama, have another shot.
*pours sake*
Master Roshi: Fine, fine!
Launch-chan, you're a very good cook, aren't you? Very much so!
Launch: No, not at all!
Goku: *drools enviously in the corner*
Master Roshi: By the way, what kind of fish it this?
Launch: I'm sure the fishmonger said it was a "fugu" pufferfish.
SILENCE
Krillan: R-really?
*drops chopsticks*
M-my stomach...!
Master Roshi: M-me too...
Launch: Now that you mention it, me too...
