Little Dub Lines you Love

[Black_Liger]

There's always those phrases and lines made by dubs that are not bad at all.

One of my favorites is in Dragon Ball GT latino dub with Goten and Vegeta.

At Z, Goten called Vegeta, Mr. Vegeta, but in DBGT he calls him Uncle Vegeta.

Also in Latino dub, Vegeta called almost everyone "Insecto" Which translates as Insect or Maggot, everyone until he Softens up, it may be the equivalent to Low Class Clown in english dub.

Eighter also gets a real name "Octavio" I liked that name for him.

Piccolo's last words in Z where "Gohan, Te Quiero" which is Gohan i love you (in spanish, te quiero is used for normal occasions, with friends and such while I love you is used for more intimate relationships".

in the english dub I love Roshi's Last Speech against King Piccolo before dying.

And "You nearly brought the mighty Freeza Down" by Chris Beast Ayres XD.

One of my favorite moments in the old FUNi dub is when Freeza impales Krillin. As he's torturing him and thrusting him up and down, he yells "Yee-haw! Ride em cowboy!" I just thought that was so deliciously sadistic. Especially with Kikuchi's score playing in the background. Despite being inaccurate, it was a helluva nice touch.

"Hillamore chillamaga, Spopovitch cannot fight like that, hmm... I tell ya to come, but a Killa don't recognize him, way to go, fishin'." -Killa

I've always been a tad conflicted on that line. On the one hand, I think it was clearly written in the interest of "punching up the comedy," as was FUNimation's standard practice back then. On the other hand......you're right, that's actually a pretty sick thing to say to someone as you impale them and then continually slide their body up and down the object upon which they're impaled.

"DUDE, MY TRUCK!"

It may be censorship but the delivery of it is hysterical.

[VegettoEX]

"So... I did. HA!"

The end.

[Kamiccolo9]

"Too bad it's Sunday."

I've been comparing the subs and dub while I watch my Dragon Ball DVDs and, as expected, a lot of the dialogue is quite different. However here is one piece of dialogue I felt was much better in the dub:

This is when Tien is flipping out and breaking water barrels or whatever after his match with Roshi:
Sub: I don't like him. That old man...I don't like him.
Dub: Curse him... You gave me a victory, but you stole my resolve. I want it back.

Tenshinhan was one of my favorite characters in DB and I think the dub did him credit.

When Roshi is teaching Goku and Krillin the more scholarly part of being a martial artist:
Roshi: A strong body is pointless unless you know how to use it - and that takes brainpower.
Goku: Ohhhh, but I don't have that!

[SSJJezter]

"Look Vegeta, people popcorn!" Perfection.

Edit: And of course Vegeta's reply:
"What is he on?"

[Sin]

A bit cheesy and probably inaccurate as hell but I was a sucker for when Goku said to Freeza "Live with the shock. Keep it bottled up inside of you. Silently."

Especially when Freeza goes to Earth and sees the apparition of Goku and that bit plays again.

[TheMightyOzaru]

Vegeta: "Welcome to the end of your life... and I promise it's going to hurt." >:).
Best line ever.

"Look Vegeta, people popcorn!" Perfection.

This one is also good.

[DBZAOTA482]

Krillin: Wow! Mondo cool, man!
Vegeta: Yes boys, mondo cool.

[Sin]

Ah yes, Vegeta haha

Vegeta [while in the shower]: Servant woman! I require a drying cloth! Woman! Can you hear me?

[DoomieDoomie911]

When Freeza kills Kuririn, he says "Pop goes the weezle!". The way it's said is so twisted!

[Kamiccolo9]

"You are a fool. I'm going to crush you. And throw you into the wind!"

[DoomieDoomie911]

"You are a fool. I'm going to crush you. And throw you into the wind!"

Who said that?

[Kamiccolo9]

"You are a fool. I'm going to crush you. And throw you into the wind!"

Who said that?

Vegeta, right before he sacrificed himself against Fat Buu.

Yeah, that's the way I see it. Just Freeza's sadistic sense of humor.

[Nikkolas]

Surprised no one has said:
Gohan: Fight you? No, I wanna kill you.

Also a favorite of mine...
King Cold: "Wait. You can't. No. Please. I'm defenseless. Please. I'm not bad. My son was evil, but not I. I wanted nothing but peace. I meant you no harm, I swear it. (Trunks blasts King Cold to death) I'm...I'm telling the truth, noooo!!!"

I think maybe it's Jackson's delivery that makes me love the lines the most. It's such a sniveling and whiny end that you almost feel bad for the guy, even if he is lying through his teeth.

[El Diabeetus]

Goku: 'Til we meet again guys! *happy laugh* - GT 64, last line of the series.

Even though that wasn't in the Japanese version I always liked that.
