If you didn't know any better, Big Green Brollie would make you think this was abridged.

Another hilarious dub is the Malaysian English dub. You can see a clip of it in this video (alos by kei17) at 8:05; right after it is the same clip but from this "Big Green Dub".

Does anyone know what all was dubbed by both this group and the Malaysian group (in English) that I mentioned.

WHY should people who don't even speak the language be allowed to dub? (Okay, they can, but it doesn't make much sense.....)

It was probably done for educational purposes. I know that foreign countries often see America as a potential country, and invest in making English a mandatory class in schools; so maybe dubbing a popular show in a language you are trying to teach to kids was for making it into a learning tool.

If only they did that over here (with Dragonball)...

It's like they took a note from Speed Racer in their dubbing, but at least they're using the right music on the first try.

You know, I'd like to get an explanation as to why the Big Green dub is fair game to ridicule like this, while the FUNi dub is not, because they're pretty much on the same level quality-wise.
I never understood how it's possible to point and laugh at the crappynes of this dub, yet consider something like this perfectly watchable. They both sound like intentionally bad fan parodies.

Not that I want to start a dub VS. sub argument here but he does have a point. I mean listen to the grunting,music, voice work and dialouge of the Freeza through imperfect Cell arcs. They really are just as bad in a different way.

For the "Big Green" dub I believe DB movies 1-3, DBZ movies 1-9, and all 3 specials were dubbed. As for the Malaysian dub I believe all movies were dubbed

Yeah. He does have a point. We should be able to criticize all dubs equally.

...Last I checked a lot of people here do bash the dub occasionally.

And also, at least to me, the FUNimation, and heck, even the Ocean group(series) dub are leagues above this dub in terms of acting.

Funi's worst is leagues better than that shit. And their worst is crap like the link posted above.

Think about it. Even THAT is better than the Big Green dub.
Yamcha: Do you remember the spell to release him - do you know all the words?
Bulma: Of course! I'm not gonna pull a Frieza and screw it up!

I agree. I feel that even the Season 3 performances showed more effort and emotion than the "Big Green" dub.

Don't get me wrong, I think FUNi's dub is horrible too. The thing is the FUNi dub isn't laughable bad, it's just bad.

People make fun of FUNimation's dub all the time here, from what I've seen. Lots of "BIG DADDEH G4LIC" and "KLIYLYNZ IN DA HOUZ" everywhere.
What are you guys smokan?
