Corniest Dub Lines

Post by Forgotten Hero » Fri Sep 12, 2008 12:32 am

Well, what is the corniest dub line you have ever heard?

My dub lines would be:
-"Chew Attack!"-Future Trunks and Gohan
What?!?! No! Bad!

-"Oh what magnification balls."-Ginyu
Ehhhhe!?!?! The voice actor for Captain Ginyu in the dub is some old guy...That sounds creepy, and it literally sounds gay.
I'm no homophone, but it just don't find that line necessary.

Have fun!
Gohan: "You're a Buddhist." Kuririn: "A hungry Buddhist!"

The "Crampin' mah style" line from Kuririn will forever be etched in my brain.

They also make a lot of arm-losing jokes.

IMDB has a few strange ones, like:
Vegeta: Nappa, remind me to look into getting you dewormed again.

Not corny, just fucking weird...

This too:
Gôku: Ally to good! Nightmare to you!

So does that mean that you don't like to sound like other words?

AhH! Thanks for catching that... :oops:
It meant it was an unnecessary line.

I haven't seen the dub in so long.


Hm....maybe Yamcha's cat-food song?


I have a feeling there's a bunch of Seasons 1-3 full of these lines. Didn't they drop most of the corny jokes once they got to Buu?

Now that I think about it, I can only think of the basics. "Mondo cool", "I can see their parachutes...they're okay", "Trapped in Another Dimension", and the farmer saying "That smarts" after Raditz hits him with the bullet.

Can I just make a short list and say every line from the dub ever?

( In my ever so humble opinion of course)

For me it would have to be Freeza telling Captain Ginyu "If you were a dog I'd scratch your belly, if you were a cat I'd give you more milk until you started to purr." It is just a really retarded thing to come out of the mouth of the most feared tyrant in the universe...not to mention he's saying it to his most powerful evil minion.

Coincidentally this line come right before the famous "You know how much I enjoy serving your horened highness" line from Ginyu (third corniest dub line) and then the infamous "Having these balls makes me feel something that resembles joy I think...I want to caress them" line from Freeza (second corniest dub line).

Yes, those are my three top corny dub lines, and you can listen to all of them here because Funi just randomly grouped them all together in a 1 minute scene.

I'm in the generation of fans that started with Toonami, so I totally empathize with the feeling of having "missed the party", experiencing disappointment, and wanting to experience it myself. But I can't, that's how life is. Time is a bitch. The party is over. Kageyama, Kikuchi, and Maeda are off the sauce now; Yanami almost OD'd; Yamamoto got arrested; Toriyama's not going to light trash cans on fire and hang from the chandelier anymore. We can't get the band back together, and even if we could, everyone's either old, in poor health, or calmed way the fuck down. Best we're going to get, and are getting, is a party that's almost entirely devoid of the magic that made the original one so awesome that we even want more.

Even Sonny hated that line.
The series doesn't start with the arrival of Raditz. Stop being lazy and watch Dragonball.

Kuririn: "It's not over until the fat lady sings!"
Vegeta: "Well, I'd say she's humming a few bars."

I remember losing my shit when I first heard that line years ago.

Well the Yamcha's Cat-food song wasn't the only thing that was corny about the dub version aside from Dragonball.

He also said stuff like "Leave Goku and go out with me" even though his face didn't look like that.

Thank god Chris Sabat read Toru Furuya's lines instead of a BulmaxVegeta fanfic for Dragonball.

Yeah those Saban!FUNimation lines are very funny :lol:
And don't forget Tenshinhan's "Wait until it grows back!!!" from then too. :D

and do you allow AB Groupe lines too? :D

There's of course, "Let That Child Alone" from Pic---Big Green.

and then theres they "Eeyaagghheeyahhee" from Kuriri----Clearen when he was using the Destructo Disk.


and some words from Supe-I mean "Songoku"
"COME, MAGIC CLOUD"
"I WANT THE MAGIC STICK!"
"You have to help meEEEE!!!" -when he was summoning the Spirit Bomb
"POWER AT MAXIMUUUUUMMM!!!" (Kaioken)

Unfortunaly, there's the " Look Vegeta, People Popcorn" dub line in the buu saga and probably more, but can't remember when.

Wasn't there a line that Gohan or Vegetto said to Super Buu/Gohan Buu that went like this:
"Pickaboo...I see you!"
I have a vauge memory of that. Well if it existed it would fit in this thread.
