This is why the original Dragonball was so awesome. Before Toriyama started all the DBZ fighting craziness, the original DB was simply an adventure story with tons of tongue-in-cheek humor aimed squarely at a recently pubescent male audience. It regularly featured characters giving each other the finger, Bulma flashing people or using her feminine wiles to get what she wanted, and Goku (who grew up alone and isolated) constantly getting into trouble for not understanding simple social conventions like it's not okay to touch people "down there."

Gradually though Toriyama and Shonen Jump morphed it into DBZ where, instead of being a happy-go-lucky kid who gets caught up in a grand adventure, Goku suddenly was an alien from another planet destined to save the universe. Don't get me wrong, as a kid I enjoyed the fighting in DBZ as much as the next otaku but I also felt the series lost some of its charm when it sidelined quirky characters like Oolong (the pig in this video) and the lecherous old martial arts expert Roshi.

I like you, you have balls.

LMFAHS! That's too damned funny.

OK, so I was fully expecting that to just be a 'tee hee, look how funny this is out of context'... but WTF, it was exactly what we thought...

Oh those zany Japanese, not repressed in any sense whatsoever...

That's exactly what I thought when I first watched it was well.

I laughed my ass off when the video first started because I remember this scene from when I watched the series 10 years ago!

Is that legal?

lulz delicous cp

lol ah classic comic book series.

Awesome!

Oh lawdy, having watched too much DBZ this was a real shocker. I guess what I watched was just a toned down, long winded, fighting extravaganza.
