Top 20 Dragon Ball Abridged Moments #15

Ah the Namekians, a noble and proud race in the Dragonball Universe. Gifted with several unique abilities including regeneration, asexual reproduction, size manipulation, and most notably, the ability to create Dragonballs. However, in the TFS cannon, despite being a race of all males, the Namekians lack a certain appendage often associated with that gender, a fact that is often referenced to comedic effect with the series.

15. Why do you Know That?

One of the most clever ideas that Team Four Star has had is to completely reimagine the villain of the second Dragon Ball Z movie, Dr. Wheelo. Instead of being an evil mad scientist looking to place his brain inside the world’s strongest fighter (Goku of course) Wheelo is now a mostly benevolent scientist who lost his body through a series of unfortunate circumstances and is now powerless stop the antics of his psychotic lab assistant, Dr. Cochin. When it is revealed that Cochin has Piccolo under his control, Wheelo, still desperate for a body, asks to just be put in Piccolos. However, Cochin can’t, because Piccolo lacks a penis, causing Wheelo, in a justifiably concerned tone to ask how and why he knows that.

It’s not just that the line reads for both Wheelo and Cochin perfect for this scene as well as throughout the entire video. What really makes this joke is the sinister grin that comes across Cochin’s face right after Wheelo asks the question. Hilarious with just the right amount of creepy, it was certainly a memorable moment from a very memorable entry in Dragonball Abridged
