I was just watching the episode after Vegeta has turned Super Saiyan for the first time, and he's battling that obese android... There are some great lines from Vegeta in that episode. I was really impressed actually. I had forgotten how good the dub can be at times.

Android (grasping Vegeta's arms): "Now I will absorb your energy... Until I have absorbed all of it, I will NEVER let you go."

Vegeta: "Really? Let's see... (Plants his feet in the android's face to force his way out). So far I'm impressed, you are very true to your word... BUT NEVER CAN BE A LONG TIME ANDROID!!!"

That "Sleeper has awakened" speech was also cool.

Stealing a quote from a YouTube clip I just saw (not sure if this was mentioned): Regarding Krillin's death right before Goku goes SSJ for the first time Frieza (not Freeza) says "pop goes the weasel".

I actually remember seeing that for the first time on Cartoon Network when it premiered. I had just found the Japanese version not too long before, and I think between that and the 'Ally to good, nightmare to you!'-line I started to seriously get into the original.

Not too long after Buu fights Goku...I think there is panel like that in the manga too. Buu changes his face to look like a model or something..

Yeah, I actually think that that line actually beat the japanese line, where he simply asks. You think I look cool? Hearing a little child go "You think Buu sexy?" Just had me in stitches.

I thought that showed how crazy Frieza was. That and the Japanese counterpart.

Uhm, well, we're supposed to mention the dub lines we actually liked... >_>;

I can't think of any single lines right now, but I've gotta say, I liked the back-and-forth conversation between Goku and Tenshinhan during their fight at the 23rd Budokai. I thought it was quite fitting stuff for them to say to each other, especially on Tenshinhan's part.

You can probably imagine my surprise when I picked up volume 15 of the manga later on and found out that Viz had them speaking almost the exact same lines... o__O;
Art, etc. links taken down for now. Will be updated at some point. I dunno.

Did anybody mention Tenshinhan's conversation with Jackie Chun? It was probably like the original but I just thought it was pretty cool.

Hahaha "it's in my other pant's pocket..."

I'm guessing he doesn't say that in the original...
