 * 9001**

Who would have thought, that Vegeta's knowledge of Goku's power level would light the internet on fire?


 * It's Over 9000!** as we know it today initially came from the Ocean Studios - a recording studio based in British Columbia - voice acted iteration of **Dragon Ball Z**, which aired in Canada and the United States around 1997. In the original segment, Nappa, a muscle-bound Seiyan soldier who arrives from space, asks his partner Vegeta about Goku's power level. Vegeta responds by angrily saying "it's over 9000!!," while crushing the power scouter with his bare hands.The pitch of Vegeta's voice

Few people talked about it, until a Youtube user named Kajetokun made a compilation filled with several self-modified iterations of Vegeta's now-famous line, on October 17, 2006. The video soon exploded in popularity, to the point where the phrase "Over 9000" became a quantifier expressing large quantities of something. After the video's creation, 4chan put into place a word filter where every instance of the numeral "7" was changed into "Over 9000."

The meme would eventually grow to be incredibly overused, but it received a surge of new popularity in the form of "OVER 9000 PENISES" in 2008, when an internet troll made the following post over at Oprah's official message board:

WE DO NOT FORGIVE

WE DO NOT FORGET

WE HAVE OVER 9000 PENISES AND THEY ARE ALL RAPING CHILDREN!

Oprah took this as a serious pedophilia threat, to the point where she even brought up the post during one of her talk shows. Following the broadcast, remixes of Oprah's statement of the post sprang up on Youtube.

When isolated by itself, people realize that Vegeta's voice in that moment sounds rather amusing, given the rising pitch of his voice when he yells out Goku's power level. The video itself also provides some humourous alterations of the clip, such as a super-sped up version and one where Nappa's uttering of the words "power level" is censored, implying something else entirely.

The scene has since been officially redubbed twice: FUNimation Entertainment, who owns the North American rights to Dragon Ball Z, made their own dub of the title during later re-releases of the hit anime title, as well as another dub for their release of Dragon Ball (Z) Kai, a more condensed version of the original show that goes at a pace similar to the original manga. Both are not as funny as the Ocean dub, however.

Surprise Crotch Kicker

The idea for this is to record (and stage) a scene where an unsuspecting male is suddenly kicked in the crotch. To add humour to the moment, the video can be altered to various degrees, such as rewinding and fast-forwarding, and slow-motion. Another element to the scene can be that the victim can also embarrass themselves further by making a high-pitched wail, or mentioning the pain in a high-pitched voice, or say something outrageous in general.
