Recommendations

They share the same kind of goofy, over-the-top sensibilities about fighting and humor. Both have a cast of crazy characters(Kinnikuman moreso than DBZ) and both are stories of unlikely heroes rising to the top. You might want to skip the initial episodes though, as it starts out as a fairly bad gag anime before it shifts gears.
Because you are that old... hehehe. And because of the hilarious nonsense from both.
