Sorry, this thread is for the worst dub line. Not the best.
No, that was pretty bad and a bastardization of his character. Best dub line might be "People popcorn!", or Gokuu's plea to Vegeta when he's trying to get him to merge using Potara.
Or the confrontation with Vegeta over Old Kai kissing Bulma.

YOU ARE TEARING ME APART FREEZA!!
I was gonna offer some terrible season 3 dialogue, but if we can talk about AB Group dubs, and Malaysian dubs... there's just too many bad lines, they're all on the same level of terri-bad.
Though this one always makes me laugh.
what the actual fuck, why does this exist D:

There's a thread on Z vs. Kai dialogue comparisons.

After Freeza attacked Goku, he said "poor baby got a boo-boo?". It was removed on Z Kai dub.

Not sure if it can be called a line, but Piccolo laughing about Mr. Satan in the Buu saga... o_O

And "Vegeta was crying? That's whack!"

Anybody know what episode that's from?

Watching when they changed to the Funimation voices was a terrible time, the most embarrassing line was "VEGETA'S GOING TO BE A DADDY!" or something.

None of the dub lines bother me since I view them as their own separate thing instead of going "OMG that wasn't said in the original!" But this is one line that has always bugged me http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gn2zW4Xiusg "I'm my fathers sooooooooooooon!"

I was trying to remember around then, there's just something about the voices for that part of the series that's just really embarrassing, but I haven't seen it in years.

"Vegeta's going to be a daddy", "Cat loves food" and probably anything Vegeta says just sounds really ridiculous.

Well, you know, if I've learned anything at all from this silly thread, it's that FUNimation writers are freaking geniuses.

He doesn't want to kill anyone, or even prove that he can win... he just wants to know he can. He's an ineffably charming bastard who's manly leanings were really incendental, and yes, the fact that he was voiced by a squeaky woman made the combination perhaps all the more charming.

What did Vegeta say in the original?

Personally, I don't know why Vegeta would kick up a fuss about wearing pink anyway. I thought the females on his homeworld would've been pretty masculine anyway. Of course, I understand that it was just meant to be a joke.

Someone brought up the Piccolo's derp face before and described it as 'pulling an Ed, Edd and Eddy.'

Speedy's and AB Groupe's English dub is great, for comedy purposes.
