Funniest/Worst FUNi Dragon Ball/Z dub lines
This is mostly a humor based thread i thought of about some of the most hilarious and off the wall corny as well as flat out terrible lines from ye olden days of FUNimation's original DBZ dub with the Ocean cast, and some still to an even greater extent with the pre remastered in house dub and OG Dragon Ball dub. I figured this would be equal parts nostalgia (sort of) and a humerous warp back to the days before they really started putting more effort into being faithful to the original version.
Anyways, here are some of my personal favorites from both dubs that i feel take the cake as far as the badness level goes of FUNi's horribly inaccurate scripts.
Ocean
"This three eyed cowboy's going for ONE!!! LAST!!! RIDE!!!"
"Did you ever hear the story of David and Goliath"
"You just wait till your arm grows back"
"LOOK, I CAN SEE THEIR PARACHUTES"
"Too bad it's Sunday, those buildings would have been full tomorrow"
FUNi
"Don't piss off the God of Love"
"That's one whopper of a lizard"
"Ok big guy, whatever turns you on"
"That's right boys, mondo cool"
"POP GOES THE WEASEL!!!!"
"Careful Jeice, or you'll stain your gloves"
"I get lots of energy, and drink plenty of juice"
"THIS IS AMAZING!!! I FEEL INCREDIBLE!!! YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! YES!!! I CAN WIN!!! I FEEL GREAT!!! I CAN DO THIS!!!"

Re: Funniest/Worst FUNi Dragon Ball/Z dub lines
This line isn’t bad but it just had me laughing hard
In either the 22nd or 23rd tournament arc, two background characters were talking. It went something like this:
“Hey are you gonna get your official tournament t shirt?”
“I don’t wear shirts. They chafe my skin.”
It came out of nowhere and just found it really funny

Re: Funniest/Worst FUNi Dragon Ball/Z dub lines
Yep that line always gets me, as it was them inserting dated lingo in order to try and make the series seem all cool and hip which it really wasn't trying to be at all in the original.

Re: Funniest/Worst FUNi Dragon Ball/Z dub lines
[Not sure if this was already in the Ocean dub or just the Funimation dub. Like 90% sure it wasn't in Japanese original]
DBZ Episode 18
Bulma: Oolong, you're such a coward! I'll bet you think taking a shower is dangerous
Oolong: It is unless you have those gritty little stickers on the bottom of the tub that keep you from slipping
Just cracks me up every time. One of those dub lines that I think actually works.

Re: Funniest/Worst FUNi Dragon Ball/Z dub lines
One from the dub of Dragonball:
- Hey Goku, if Karin was in the Red Ribbon Army, what rank would he be?
Goku: I don't know, a general?
- No, a Colonel! Get it - Karin? (the joke is that his name sounds like 'corn').

“Hold on. I almost forgot. I NEVER transform unless some-body gives me a countdown.” -Funimation’s Freeza
“You're certainly on the ball today, Captain Ginyu. If you were a dog, I'd scratch your belly. If you were a cat, I'd give you warm milk until you started to purr. But since you're neither of these, I'll just say thanks for a job well done.” -Funimation’s Freeza

It’s just “ye olden days” (pronounced the same as “the” by the way), a place-holder spelling for “þe olden days” when the letter Þ/þ (þorn/yorn/thorn) was unavailable. Eventually TH was decided to be used instead of Y.

Re: Funniest/Worst FUNi Dragon Ball/Z dub lines
Hahaha, that one is just so off the wall and makes Freeza seem a country mile removed from the way his character was in the original among most of his lines in the old dub. Linda Young's old lady type voice was definitely a miscast and i'm glad they got Chris Ayres to do Freeza in Kai and onward because i definitely prefer his take.linkdude20002001 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2019 8:16 pm “Hold on.

Thanks, i wasn't aware that's how you're really supposed to say it. Anyway, i fixed it in the top post.

Re: Funniest/Worst FUNi Dragon Ball/Z dub lines
I know for certain that line was recycled from the 1996 dub, though i don't think the Ocean actor's take was quite as over the top with it as Cook's.Blondiebear_17 wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2019 9:05 pm "Oh excuse me has anyone seen my arm you can't miss it it's green"-

Re: Funniest/Worst FUNi Dragon Ball/Z dub lines
I had forgotten his name because it's been so long since i watched the Ocean dub. But yeah, his voice for Raditz was definitely not quite as crazy sounding as Cook in either the Ultimate Uncut redub or later in Kai.MyVisionity wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2019 9:24 pmIt's a thing parents tell their kids when they go out, to make sure and wear clean underwear just in case they end up in the hospital to be worked on by the staff.Char Aznable wrote: ↑Fri Mar 29, 2019 8:57 pm ...wait, what?
