What is really funny about that Over 9000 thing from DBZ I don't probably get it. I know it's a meme.

I don't know. I used to watch that episode for years, and thought it was a cool line before it somehow turned into an meme. :?
Hey TC, what does the scouter say about his power level?

Looks like someone beat me to it :lol:
Yeah i never got it either. I thought it was because of terrible voice acting but when i saw the video i saw nothing wrong with it.
[QUOTE="Renegade_Fury"]I remember DBZ when I was a kid, although it wasn't dub in english, it was dub in filipino. I used to watch DBZ on Toonami and UPN here in the states, and all they used to air in the early days was Ocean dub's 50 odd episodes. The whole meme popped up probably around 2006 my guess would be. I know it had to have occurred while I was in college, because youtube wasn't around when I was in HS, and the DBGT dub had ended before that time too.I don't know. I used to watch that episode for years, and thought it was a cool line before it somehow turned into an meme. :?

yah I saw the episode when I was a kid and it was a line that I remembered. But I guess some people found it funny and use it out of context in the stupidest possible ways which is why its funny now.

Only Oprah can answer your question. Follow the yellow brick road.
It is basially making fun of the ridiculousness that is DBZ (this coming from a fan). The line is especially funny for those of us who watched the series as 9,000 is like the power level of a fetus by the end where they are getting in the MILLIONS!
Personally, I find the rest of the youtube series much funnier than the original. They actually get pretty creative and crazy. Instead of just repeating one line, they start combining lines and stuff to make for funny innuendo and then the vids get very random in the 2nd half:
The Whole Universe Is Going to Die!
The Balls are Inert
BTW the original creator of the vids apparently got banned from youtube!!!!:cry:
There was another vid but I can't find it now.
I will say this though, there is nothing funnier than the Buu's Chocolate Fetish vid. Just sayin'.
Its just one of those things thats funny. You know like saying sausage?:PshadowchronicleOh man I want some sausage now, please wait while I retrieve some lol. But yeah the Over 9000 joke got old really fast and it just kind of annoys me now... I used to think it was really funny though.
