Great Moments In Japanese-English Dubbing

Some quality dialogue in Gundam Wing:

"He's very secretive. He has many secrets... that's why!"
-Relena.

(What do you think secretive means?)

One person during her birthday party in Episode 2 (in the general crowd rabble) says something that made me ROFL:

"I think Martha Stewart would be proud."

===

In Star Ocean EX, a line gets somehow made funnier by its translation to English:

Celine is sliding down a stone ramp chest first, two which she says

Japanese: My boobs are grinding down!

But the English I think is actually a little funnier because it's better worded.

English: This is really hurting my ample bosom!

I think this says it all.

So does this. (use this from ~2:37: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LJOLN-07EEw for a backing track since it's all voiced in the Japanese version. I'm disappointed it wasn't voiced in English.)

I love my fandoms.

THAT WAS DELIBERATE!!!

There's no way the designers didn't realize how innuendo-y it was!

Nah, they knew. It's supposed to be deliberate. I mean. They make jokes about "diving" into the girls. It's deliberate but it's funny as hell.

I suspect there will be another "OH NOES! REYVATEIL NEEDS DIQUILITY!" followed by "IYAAAA~N! IT'S SO BIG AND IT WILL HURT! BE GENTLE WITH ME~~~~"

I can hardly wait.

Wow. There is nothing more I can say about that first video Raini... but Wow.

BTW, Jason: Relena is an idiot to begin with. She asks the name of a guy who already ran away from her and was like, thirty yards away driving a stolen ambulence.

Hehehehe. I mean, it sounds just as bad in Japanese, but the English dub cracks me up.

"COME TO MY BIRTHDAY PARTY SO YOU CAN KILL ME HEERO" fuasjhs I hate Relena.

There is that one scene where she is standing on a cliff, and calls out "Heero! You have to come back so you can kill me!"

It's like a I said- Relena=Stupid
