Hilarious fan-sub lines

[DragonDuck]

Not actually subbed by a fan, but funny nonetheless.

Spoiler:

That's a good one! Where is it from?

Pearl was an official broadcast out of... Hong Kong, was it...? Simultaneous Chinese and English subtitles.

Pearl's and NGN's (out of Hawaii) official broadcasts were often mixed in and traded around with actual fansubs.

The first ED of the Majin Boo arc in Z provided this beauty.

Goku doesn't think much of Freeza.

Freeza is a sucker.

Lol @ "Killyen". I'm fine with Kuririn, Klillen, Kuririn - anything in that ballpark, but "Killyen"? There's a whole displaced vowel...

[Daghenbell]

Hey do you guys have any text files of these subs? Because this is amazing xD also its quite an unqiue experience for sure

You said Kuririn twice.

The Hank one was funny.

This gem from early DBSuper speedsub era:

Episode 5: SS2 Goku punching dimension powers
Time: 1:40 (https://youtu.be/hAR3AOHBX9Y)

Goku: it is said, a Super Saiyan 2 punch is so strong that it can take you to another dimension

Here's some more gold from the Hong Kong sub.

As an additional note, when Piccolo asks Raditz if he knows who he's talking to, and Raditz says something along the lines of "Not really" or "No", they didn't actually sub Raditz's response there. So all you get is Piccolo asking "Do you know who you're talking to?!" And then Raditz saying something in Japanese.

Also, British Krillin.

There's a Movie 9 fansub from circa the mid-late 90s (so one of the relatively later attempts at subbing that particular movie) that included this gem during the scene where Goku's spirit gives Gohan a pre-Bojack killing pep-talk:

"This is not the time to be gentle! You have to open up a big 'ol can of whoop ass!"

Cut to a few moments later when Gohan's prepping his final Kamehameha against Bojack and he repeats what his father said to him earlier, only as:

"And... and he told me to destroy you!"

This incongruity of course was often followed by much merry laughter from friends in the room watching and someone inevitably yelling at the screen "Actually Gohan, I'm pretty sure your dad just told you to open up a big 'ol can of whoop ass!"

I wanna say this sub was more late-ish 90s. And I don't THINK it was an AnimeLabs sub, but I might well be mistaken on that. I do remember that earlier subs of this movie from a few years before were (by comparison) better translated, and contained less/none of these kinds of... quirks. If it was an AnimeLabs sub, then it might've been slightly older than I'm remembering and been more mid-90s. If this wasn't an actual AnimeLabs sub however, then I think this might've been right around the time that AnimeLabs subs began starting to retroactively take off among first gen dub fans in the late 90s: there were a few other very-late-to-the-party subbers around that small window of time who began taking their cues from the AnimeLabs "shock factor" mold.

Wow, that's interesting. Can't say I'm familiar with that sub of movie 9. My copy was a dual 7 and 9 done by Yagami (who I would later end up meeting as part of the AMV scene... small world!). The one line from that version that's still in our daily lexicon is Oolong's "Kuririn! Do your moderate best!"

You said Kuririn twice.

I don't recall exactly when the name filter was removed, but I'm reasonably sure it was still in effect in 2015 when that post was made. I assume the second "Kuririn" was intended to say "Krillin".

Edit: The filter for names was removed in late February, 2016.

I have this tape. Surprisingly, the tape comes from Ctenosaur, but there's no credits on the tape. The only evidence to show that it's from Ctenosaur is the font used at the end of the movie:





Here's some notable screenshots from Movie 9:

You candy-ass faggot

[VegettoEX]

I continue to be fascinated by this movie 9 example. Kaio's "shit's hit the fan" line is in my Yagami fansub, but the rest of that is absolutely not. I wonder if this is a stolen script from Yagami and "punched-up", or if they both independently sourced their script from something identical and each did something different with it.

"Yellow 'son of a bitch" is an absolute classic.
