Hilariously Bad Dub Acting

Post by SSJ2bardock » Sun Nov 01, 2009 7:33 pm

Which horribly acted scene from the dub is your favorite?

This one is a no brainer for me, it's always been this scene.

All of it.

That clip is par for the course.

Very well.

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

Pretty much the etire Big Green Dub. Specifically Movie 3.

I guess I should've been more specific, this thread is encompassing ALL dubs, not just the Funimation dub.

I don't have my Norwegian DVDs around, so I can't post that laughing scene from the end of movie 2 where Goku has a retarded Santa laugh (sangofe, you got it on hand?), so this will have to do.

Might be a fan parody, I don't remember the actual dub scene to well, and it sounded like a parody in the first place anyway, but the comments to the video make it sound like the real deal.

The Paragus/King Vegeta scene in the Big Green dub of Movie 8.

I want a video game with Big Green actors. :<

I think the "I do a lot of push ups and sits ups. And I drink plenty of juice" line from Vegeta when he's vsing Cell was so amazingly corny, it was good.

I actually find this bit of dub humility super awesome so I'll list some of the worst acting in the Japanese version. (Isn't it technically a dub seeing as how they are dubbing in the voices to the animation?)

All of Cell's V.A work in Sparking Meteor, holy shit was it painful to listen to and
Bulma's V.A for a good portion of Kai had some pretty awful acting.

... I thought that first utterance of "Vegeta..." came from Vegeta beforemy thinking ability kicked in. :?

... What's up with the music that's going on while Vegeta's in the shower?

Why am I reminded of Voltron by Vegeta's voice? (Not in a bad way. Just ... in a way. :? ).

In which dub does Piccolo get called "Big Green"? I've heard everyone and their Mother make fun of it, but I've never actually heard it. (At least, I don't know if I've heard it before) Does anyone have a clip from a movie or the series that uses this dub?

I want it purely for shits and giggles. :lol:
