Goku (when seeing Yakon): It's Miss Portugal '97!

Puipui: Don't make me laugh 'cause I got large lips!

Old Kai: Kick 'I'm in the ass!

Kid Buu: You keep calling me, baby!

Krillin (when 19 got his arms ripped off): He became handicapped!

Piccolo (firing a blast at Cell): Suck it, froggy!!!!

King Kai: Call the firefighters! The Earth is going to explode!

SSJ2 Gohan (to Cell): The women got crazy.

Cell (when vomiting 18): I HATE VOMITING!

Vegeta (beating up Yajirobe): A little more musical notes! It's what you get for attacking me! Okay, that's good!

Vegeta: Because of the nerves, I'm changing my voice again!

Vegeta: What a waste of time, you didn't even change hair color

Super Buu: Are you two still dating?!
Vegeta: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Super Buu: Do you guys want lipstick?

That sounds like an abridged series.

EDIT:

Super Buu: Are you two still dating?!
Vegeta: ARE YOU KIDDING ME?!
Super Buu: Do you guys want lipstick?

That one in particular is pure win.

Please don't denigrate opera by comparing it to this... What did it ever do to you to deserve THAT?

Ginyu is not alone. Dodoria and General Blue also sound like opera singers in this dub.

They are really taken from the episodes. This is the dub I watched my whole life.
Oh man, really? In that case.... yowch. You have my sympathies.

Yep, the Funi dub has nothing on this one.

"He doesn't realize there are only 60 episodes left" was totally full of win. I loved this immensely. Suddenly, "I hope you're both wearing clean underwear!" doesn't seem quite as bad. Cheers!

Here's the Portuguese DBZ opening: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuC-5hDEb0M . The song is pretty weird, doesn't really fit the DBZ mood at all, it reminds me of the They Might Be Giants laid back style of singing.

I wonder if this one was used throughout the entire series, because it seems odd that all of the video clips are from the Majin Buu Arc.

The Portugese Sailor Moon dub swapped Luna and Artemis's genders.

This does not surprise.

Wha?!

I'm guessing by doing so it makes that one Sailor Moon movie with the astronaut seem much more confusing as Luna transforms into a human in that one.

Did they switch Diana's gender too?

The voices are constantly drowned out by the music, Kamesennin is called "Master Martin", Krillin is "Mohan" & other names have changed as well... I'll stop there as I can't remember much of it (I do own it, but I've only watched it once).

It makes Funimation look like they've done the series justice with their dub.
They're(FUNi) better than most other English dubs of anime(Pokemon and 4Kids One Piece).

I realise this (my girlfriend LOVES Pokemon & we have all the DVDs), but I wasn't a fan of the movie 2 dub. I don't know if it was my TV or what, but I found the spoken lines to be very "dull" sounding (for want of a better word).

Overall I wasn't TOO disappointed with Dragonball's dub. There were some parts I took issue with such as Kamesennin & Oolong's discussion outside the tournament arena while they wait for Goku (after training with Kami). In the dub they say something about Oolong's ears being too big or something, & from memory they're talking about their "magazine collection" in the Japanese version.

Other than that I thought it was a huge step up from Dragonball Z.

There are still quite a few things like that in the DragonBall dub, despite the dialog being overall much more faithful to the original. My personal favorite change is this conversation Goku has with the Mouse family (the one he runs into during the filler training for the 23rd Tenkaichi Budoukai). Originally, Goku mentions that he is training under Kami (which is to say God), and the Mouse kids all start talking about what they think God is like. In the dub, Goku says he is training under Popo, and the kids go into an extremely bizzare conversation about a squirrel named Popo and his family. Or something like that. It's very strange.

They used the same intro with clips of the Freeza Saga throughout the entire series.

Diana was kept as female.

Oh yeah, I hate stupid changes like that. A lot of the jokes in "The Saga of Goku" were changed too. I own the madman release which is supposed to be "uncut", so much for that...

FUNimation's definition of "uncut" is that no visual content is edited out, if your definition of "uncut" is a dub script completely faithful to the original, then FUNimation are yet to release something "uncut".

This is actually the kind of dub thats so bad it's good to me. I would love to have this kind of voice acting/script in English. Just because it's hilarious.

You and me both. "Quick! Defensive Position!" and "No, Mamamia! No!" and Kid Buu's "You keep calling me, Baby!" I actually wouldn't mind watching DBZ like this, considering the fact that, it's funny and you can always go back and watch the English and/or Japanese versions.

Also, what's with Super Buu, he sounds like a retarded Borat.
