There was one line that made me laugh in DBZ that was probably only in the English dub. During the fight with Nappa and Vegeta when Gohan suggests that they all take a break, because they could all use a bath. Nappa says something like "What was that?" and Gohan angrily screams "I said you SMELL LIKE TOENAILS!!!"

Idunno, that actually sounds pretty damn Toriyama to me.

I mean, Doc Slump had a 'poop' arc, after all,in which the robot girl became fascinated with it because she couldn't. Eventually, Slump builds her a poop button (no lie), and the first thing she does after the testing is done is head to school for show and tell. Guess what she shows.

That video was lame, as was Dragonball Z.

It was pretty great when i was 7, but now as i look back, it did have all of the aforementioned corniness. ><

I find every single one of the Sailor Moon dubs painful. When watching the first episode of SM S after watching the other series in Japanese, I turned the english dub off after 20 seconds of horribly painful voice acting.

This is why Dr. Slump is x10000 times better than DB(Z)/GT ever was/will be.

You try transferring a language with a grammatical structure completely different to that of another language successfully without having to "fill in the blanks".

Yeah, there's a reason why, if I can, I buy subbed foreign films.

Exactly. It's not exactly easy to try and keep the same meaning of dialogue while trying to make it match the mouth movements AND censoring it according to the audience it's being marketed for.
