Let's try to keep this stuff over in the "Die Hard Dub Fans" thread, seriously we don't need another thread turning into that.
Very well.

In that case:

Pretty much everything from the moment Vegeta arrives to his pink shirt. The scripting doesn't help, either.

Ugh... That was painful to watch. Other than the awful script, the only bad acting was Bulma and her mom, I think. Vegeta and Yamcha weren't bad, but their voices were. Vegeta sounds much better nowadays, it seems.

I want it purely for shits and giggles.
The AB Groupe from England, if I remember correctly. Ignore the message at the beginning.

AB Groupe is in France. Also, I we don't know for sure if AB Groupe dubbed it or not. It was most likely dubbed in France either way though, because some of the actors sound like the actors in the English dub of Code Lyoko (who live in France, by the way).

The reason people call it the "UK dub" is because it aired on TV there. But they were also released in the Netherlands, too.

That King Kai:D:D or Tullece laughing with closed mouth, I'm the Saiya People!! My name is Threat (tullece???)

and I'm not kidding!!!

Rofl, Kaio's voice is fucking amazing.

By the way, anyone notice in the Raging Blast Demo (no Japanese voice options, meh), the voice acting is really good, particularly Piccolo? Fight a match against Goku with Piccolo, and you'll see what I mean.

So God-damned awesome....

Fixed that for ya.

Seriously though, the only way I'll be satisfied now is if they go back and redub Dragon Ball . . . with Big Green Goku (I like to call him Manku for short) voicing kid Goku.

Full circle, people . . .

You would know how bad it is if you understand Swedish: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtXYSdNbRKw
They call Yamcha's car a "spaceship".

Yep! You've got it right.
And to add some more, I recognize those voices from almost all Swedish children's dubs. They have like one team working on them all.

That was the first time I've actually heard what the Swedish language sounded like, so can't tell about it being bad, other than it reminds me of Mr. Svenson from Archie comics.

Though you want bad dub lines, look at #13's dialogue with "Ah'm gonna kill yo ass!" They overdid the redneck thing.

Can't find it on Youtube, but there's a scene in FUNi's Season 3, part of the "Chichi's spaceship" filler subplot. After almost choking Yajirobe, Dr Briefs apologizes by saying "BLEEERRRSGHAAAAAAD!"

Acting in Big Green dub etc. is laughable, but at least it's comprehensible.

God, I get so enraged by that.

Stop trying to be witty or hip, Funimation! You are neither and never will be!

You know, if you can take this out of context long enough, it can be very. very. VERY. terrifying.

The fact that some people consider this a good, or even acceptable, dub is terrifying enough.

The voices themselves aren't too bad, but the acting is subpar and the script is horrendous.

It's much better than the Norwegian dub, at least.

Eh, I don't know, I hear a pretty clear "Great Scott" there.

This is one of those scenes I ALWAYS think of when I think of Sabat. Plus any of his power up scenes which make my ears bleed even today. *eye twitch*. Acting wise he's better but his screams still=ow.

Kirbopher wrote:YES. YES. YES. YES. I CAN WIN, I FEEL GREAT. I. CAN. DO. THIS. Ugggggh.

*facepalm* Another early one, which when I first heard it, even I, an 11-12 year old, thought it was bad.

Right there with Krillin saying lines like "Mondo Cool". I'm also glad that Kyle isn't forced to read wacky scripts like this anymore, when he has a good voice director and script he's an awesome actor....

*goes to go wash out ears with either good dub actors or the Japanese version*

I second this. Fuujin may not know it, being from Poland, but the line is lifted from Doc Brown, crazy white-haired scientist guy from Back to the Future.

Mine would have to be the previously mentioned, cringeworthy remarks tossed with Badman Vegeta.

As a matter of fact, it isn't.

So, I watched recordings of Season3 over the weekend... when the filler fight with the Ginyu fOrce happens at King Kai's, and Piccolo's getting decimated trying to buy Goku time for his Spirit Bomb...
.... I... I was taking all the "buttsex battlenoises" comments as like, somewhat exagerated interpretation-type things before I heard Sabbat-Piccolo's ... ... butt-sexing at the hands of Linda-Young-Freeza.

Actually, Freeza's voice didn't bug me much (coming off of the TFS Bardock and all... XD).
I was surprised that this time when I first heard King Kai start talking, I ... actually thought it might be Goku for a second... which I don't think has happened before... (Yeah, I know Sean Schimal voices both).

I found some videos that are horrible:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=56ZA0dza3JY In the category of badly acted screams: Cell sings opera for Vegeta.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m1hwmsmsQY Big Green Vegeta sounds like he has shrunk.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nrCYNOgisYk Ginyu is afraid of Goku, the whole line sounds awful.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lmHCSzNez7Q They could, you know, use "drain" instead of "suck".

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8zXRk69a7-c I don't know if this is in the Japanese version aswell, but that's corny as hell.

I heard "BLEEERRRSGHAAAAAAD!" too until some people said he said "Great Scott". Then it became clear.

What's wrong with suck? To "suck the life" out of something is a commonly used phrase. To have said drain instead would have been awkward quite frankly.

Possibly the greatest come back line ever.
