Protip: Ignore anyone with "DBZ" opinions who talks about authorial intent. The entire manga series is called "Dragon Ball" with no "Z" and chances are they're going to bring up stuff not written by Akira Toriyama as the anime, especially the dubs, are very much known to screw with the tone. Dragon Ball Super too even though it's gotten better about it as it's an adaptation of a manuscript Toriyama wrote and that show has a handful of cases of backtracking because the staff misunderstood him.
Not to be some 300 IQ elitist or it's deep, Toriyama thinks puns and poop jokes are peak comedy. The anime was one of the earlier hits with bringing anime west and was too popular to shake off all the oddities due to it being changed to appeal to 90s kids.
