The WORST Anime Dub Of All Time 

*Multiple moans and groans, followed by splashing noises* "H A N G O N I ' M C O M I N G"

Imagine a mom hearing the volcano escape scene from somewhere out of sight of the television

"HANG ON I'M COMING!" _don't forget to wear headphones_ -a bIT LATE-

4:35 Wow, I didn't know that yaoi was a thing in the 60s!

I need to know the episode of the audio of the “sex” voices

Him: “Anime reaction noise is supposed to be a subtle thing” Me watching anime: ugggwwha

How have you never heard of speed racer? Like, my parents know about speed racer, and they don't know what anime is. Probably because it was brought over before "anime" as a concept was a thing in America. Over here, it was treated as just a cartoon.

Who else is getting flash backs of connor's old audio auditions?😂

Speed racers was *_CHILDHOOD_* I still have a copy of the car from 2003

When Ghost Stories is actually a good Dub.

If you look closely, Connor isn't making eye contact with the camera. He is looking just next to it.

Fun fact: The voice actor for Trixie was also the teddy bear from the Snuggle ads.

*I* *Want* *To* *Monetize* *This* *Video*

*Two characters helping each other out of a volcano* More like [Music] and [Applause]

Thank goodness I have headphones. My mom would take my sleep privileges if she heard that audio clip😅

@3:20 I once went to a panel where Tony Oliver (of BangZoom!) talked about stuff like this. I believe Speed Racer falls into that time period where anime was dubbed on tape. Back then, if your timing was off, you either had to re-record, or your timing would just be off. As a result, people would record 10-15 lines per hour, compared to the 40-50 of today. My guess is due to budget reasons, they just let the timing stay off.

4:31-5:12 I like how his face slowly changes from neutral to incredibly uncomfortable

I love the dub! It's insane! XD Fun fact: Peter Fernandez, the voice of Speed, also had to direct the VA, and they only had around 3 to 4 people to do the voices. They had to rush voicing multiple episodes a day.

You...never heard of Speed Racer before this?

“The old man character sounds like he’s trying to read his lines while they’re waterboarding him” *clip plays* Me: “wait, that was English?”

When you say One Piece was "insulting to the audience", you're talking about the 4kids dub, right? Because if so, I agree. The Funimation dub on the other hand is really well-done if you ask me.

3:02 LIKE WHAT THE ACTUAL FU--

Having just finished watching the entire series - and thoroughly and unironically enjoying it, for the record - I think the dub does actually improve a bit as the series progresses. The actors get more creative with their voices, and there's more general variety to everything. Sure, all the villains sound pretty much like 'Nyarr! I'm a villain!', and everybody is hamming it up like crazy, but, well, that's the sort of show it is. The whole thing is ridiculous, but it's a sincere flavor of ridiculousness, if that makes sense, and one which is difficult to find nowadays.

You know what? I've spent alot of time thinking of a clever comment to get noticed but I'm gonna be THAT person *Notice me CDawg senpai*

0:17 technically speaking "When They Cry" is the series which includes Umineko or when the seagulls cry if you want the English name. Higurashi is called When the cicadas cry in English.

I remember when I was 3 sitting there in front of the tv laughing my ass off at this show, now I'm 14 realizing how bad it was, and I love it.

I was watching Netflix- better be worth interrupting it ._.

4:35 had me laughing so unbelievably hard. I'm not exaggerating.

"Use the brake!" "I'm giving her the gas!" Without this horrible dub, one of my favorite edits would not exist: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-HgwcI0FOpvY.html

“All dubs are bad” dragon quest 8 has an amazing dub

Oh, wonderful audio! Totally no sarcasm here. Conner, that suggestion of an anime as good as that is crazy! It beats all Yaoi fanfictions.

When you showed us how fast the dialogue was I couldn’t process a single thing they were saying 😅

Is it just me or has nobody else seen the movie, like the live action, my brother was obsessed so I’ve seen it like 100 times and I didn’t even know it came from anime. Lol, I thought it was pretty popular

I know it's two years later but, I actually asked my mom if she had seen any anime when she was a kid (Cause she liked Panyo and Kikis Delivery Service etc.) And she said she remembered a show named Speed Racer- I was kind of surprised by this tbh.

As someone who has been watching Speed Racer since 1963, I can confirm that the voice acting makes scenes a LOT funnier.

Apparently, according to the director (Peter Fernandez) who also voiced Speed and a bunch of other characters *AND* wrote the script, they generally had a single week or less to translate, write the script, and then record for each episode. It definitely shows.

10:53 Connor: Go home! Me: But I'm already home!

Pffft lol

The reaction voices actually sounded like they were having ***

Speed Racer was my favorite thing as a little baba. I made my mom rent the VHS tapes so much from the video store that they asked her if she wanted to just buy them. 😂 To this day, I just love it. Bad dub or not, I just love it. The dub is pretty terrible though, for real. Lmao

Hi!

Here he comes, here comes Speed Racer, he's a demon on wheels. He's a demon and he's comin' after someone. Yes, these are the actual first few lyrics to the opening (which is incredible I kid you not), I grew up on this shit and this shit was the best thing ever. Even have the box set of the entire series. It's in a cute little tire shaped tin thingy.

I know the best one ghost stories

Dub on them haters

"But all English dubs are bad!" No... *thinks of ghost stories* No.

That audio sounds more like two characters helping each other erupt their volcanoes.

My dad made me sit through all the episodes of Speed Racer last summer. All of them. :')

Characters: “saving each other from a volcano” Brother: wtf are you watching? Me: I don’t even know myself

4:35 ...... *THAT DOESN'T SOUND LIKE TWO CHARACTERS HELP EACH OTHER OUT OF A VOLCANO!!*

Connor: Is it two characters cuddling? Is it two characters fighting? Ad: Have you ever thought about polishing your skin?

The best clip is when one character goes "He is going over that cliff AAAHHH"

Oh goodness Oh no No no no Speed racer

The “volcano” audio absolutely killed me

CONOR MY TEACHER SAID YOUR FUNNY I SAY YOUT HILARIOUS LOVE YOU CONOR ! P.S Your face and you in general is a very quality meme stay toon for ConorTheLivingMeme :D

“I’m a 22 year old man that’s very skeptical and hates nearly everything in this world” Me but I’m not 22 😂

4:35 when your parents walk in on you watching anime

Gru (a.k.a Viktor Nikiforov) from Yuri On Ice! Is the best English dub

_"Definitely doesn't sound like-"_ *_I W A N T T O M O N E T I Z E T H I S V I D E O_*

“The pacing is insanely fast” I mean why else would it be named Speed Racer if it wasn’t fast

I find it amazing you've never heard of this show considered how much it was parodied in 2000s cartoons

The volcano audio makes the giorno healing mista scene sound like a casual conversation

God, that audio on the “volcanic escape” was something else. Sounded a lot like [Censored due to inappropriate content].

That audio where the two characters ‘help each other out of a volcano’ beat every yaoi asmr that ever existed in youtube.

Has anyone realized how smart CDawg is? Like he's *really really smart* 🤔

My dad *loves* Speed Racer So much so, that we went to see that 2008 live action film in theaters. *Opening Night*

Speed Racer is a classic. I know it is pretty bad by modern standards but its no worse than a lot of western produced cartoons from the same era. Try watching the Archie cartoon some time. It's also a cultural phenomenon, being one of the first anime to be syndicated in America. It was still enough of a cultural touchstone in the 90s to be referenced in several episodes of Friends.

"You love this show for all the wrong reasons" and "it's like a beautiful car crash" are the best ways I've heard to describe Speed Racer. Loved this show as a kid.

It's why I refuse to call Speed Racer the worst dub. Because Speed Racer was made at the beginning of dubbing and the localization team was only comprised of 4 people that each did multiple characters. Sure, I'm biased because Speed Racer is the reason I have a passion for racing and cars in general (I might have a depressingly large Mach 5 collection), but it's a very important anime and I don't think it deserves the hate it gets at all.

Why does this sound like a yaoi??

I think Speed Racer was an anime trying to be a western cartoon because looping backgrounds and overly exaggerated sound effects were fairly common with the earlier cartoons from the 60s and 70s. Just look at all the old Hanna-Barbera stuff you'll see it really similar things going on in episodes of The Jetsons, The Flintstones, and hell even Scooby-Doo

That *"HANG ON IM COMING!"* Really gave it that certain UHM to it

3:51 It sounds like a bad p*rno, EDIT: 4:32 AND LETS NOT EVEN GET STARTED ON THAT AUDIO!

Speed Racer was literally the ONLY anime my dad ever watched and he loved it...

YOU NEED TO SEE THE DUBBED VERSION OF GHOST STORIES ITS HILARIOUS 😂😂 ITS THE WORST BUT ALSO THE BEST THING ON EARTH (this description would suit this channel tbh 😂😂😂)

HOW COULD YOU NOT HAVE PUT THE "HE'S GOING OVER THAT CLIFF" CLIP

5:14 this isn't how I remember battle tendency ending

Pops: SpeedIdonotthinkyoushouldbeinthisrace HAHA! TheMach5isnotready HAHA! Speed: ButPopsImustbeinthisrace HAHA! Pops: Verywell UHAAH butyouknowI'mnotreallyyourfather HAHA! Speed: AAH!

*I learned my lesson about having my volume on full blast without headphones...*

0/10 no “he’s going over that cliff. AEEEEUUUUGGGGHHHH” reference.

You should watch the Dexter's Lab parody of this series. It is absolutely hilarious

So. Connor. How long did I you spend looking for this? Honestly.

Honestly, I think the cheesiness of the dub enhances the charm of the show. Had it been more competent, it would have been nowhere near as fun or as memorable. It's like taking away the hammy villains in the old James Bond films or the goofy practical effects seen in classic kaiju films. It's better to have ham and cheese on your sandwich than just boring bland bread.

Again, I stopped my yaoi for this. It was some good shit too.

"I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A RACE TRIXIE" will forever be imbedded in my mind from when Speed drove faster when told his competitor needed to win to pay for his sister's illness.

I'm kind of surprised that anyone who's into anime could not know about this series. Hell, the Wachowskis made a live-action film adaptation of it years back.

This dub has the same energy as the 80s Voltron dub and I am absolutely down for it

4:31 definitely cuddling

EVERYONE PAUSE AT 4:47 CDisgustVA is in the house

He's going over that cliff! EEEEEEEUUUUUGGHHHHH (Edit: Im liking my own comment because I'm lonely)

2:30 *That face literally killed me hahHaha*

"He's going over that cliff!" *"AAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!"*

The English Theme Song was done in one afternoon. ONE afternoon. This is how you budget.

"helping each other out of a volcano" yep totally, I believe you, totally believe you😐

This was my dad's favorite show as a kid.

The last time I was this early my soul was alive

“I’m a 22 year old man that’s very skeptical and hates nearly everything in this world” I felt that on a spiritual level

I saw this as a kid on my parents' recorded vhs. I always thought that when I grew up I'd understand the dialogue better because I could never catch it. Sadly I still can't.

Imagine reading the youtube subtitles of the anime

😂 I'm dying. When the audio starts, his expression just gets more and more horrified. Yup, I'm dead.

It's called Speed Racer because it's like they're on speed.
