Malaysian English Dub?

Yeah, I came across this interesting little video while surfing around. I'm still not 100% sure if it's even an actual dub and not a fan dub, but I don't know. Regardless, if you want a pretty good laugh take a look at this.

I think this may be real. It sounds hilarious. I can barely understand a word they're saying.

"We are the Saiya-people! Would you like to come with me?"

It is real, I knew about it for a while. It is absolutely hilarious.

Well, at least Gohan actually sounds somewhat like a 5-year-old, unlike the FUNi dub.

I never remembered 5-year-olds sounding like a squeak toy.

Someone's always gotta find some way to thrash FUNimation

Does anyone else find it strange that it was recorded in Asia, yet sounds like an American doing a stereotypical Asian accent?

This was posted a few months ago, I think there are more clips up at You Tube, though I'm not willing to look for them or the original thread. It's no longer as funny.

Dammit, Youtube no longer has the one that I laughed my ass off on. THere was one from the Janemba movie where Goku is convincing Vegeta to fuse. It is SO FUNNY! It's like

Goku: "Der iz von vay to beet dat ting. Coombine our bodies."
Vegeta: "Coombine our bodies? I rader die den do dat."
Goku: "Don't bee seely, besides BETA (Vegeta!!!) dun yuu kno dat yuu arr alredi dea? (not dead, he pronounced it dea!!!"

lol When I heard it, I nearly peed my pants. And it's official, Ebay is selling tapes of it and I know someone unfortunate enough to have gotten them. They're official.

No offense Adamant, but why do you watch the Funi dub? I assumed you'd only watch it in Japanese or Danish, Swedish, or Norweigen.

I don't, really. I've only seen a couple episodes out of curiosity, due to them being on my DVDs.

The Danish, Swedish and Norwegian dubs are all based off the Big Green dub, and hence not something you'd want to watch for any other reason than to laugh at them.

Ok. Just assumed you watched in your native tongue, and wasn't sure which Scandanavian language was yours.

It's Norwegian. But yeah, with a couple exceptions (Pokemon, Digimon, Beyblade, Sonic X, Hamtaro, and Duel Masters, all of whom are dub-only), most Scandinavian anime releases only get additional subtitle tracks thrown on the American DVD, as the publishers just sub-license the series from whomever dubbed it in the US. The DBZ movies, and certain other movies (mostly Ghibli stuff) get a dub track as well, but it's usually a dub of the English dub they licensed (in DBZs case, the Big Green dub), so it's quality is debatable.
The sole exception is the Swedish dub of Sailor Moon, which was dubbed in Swedish before it was dubbed in English, and is based off the original Japanese version (and as a result, is far far better than the awful American dub. They even kept most of the original names).

There is supposedly a Danish dub of the DBZ TV series too, but I've never seen it.
