Line 3:
Sometimes a show can do good or bad, but the dub job falls into that rare niche of, while still listenable, being impossible to hear with a straight face.
== General ==
* ''[[Speed Racer]]''. Featuring some of the crudest animation possible, the show is filled with so many plot holes, you just can't help it to smile the whole time watching it. The theme song is an [[Ear Worm]] to boost. The characters, while having odd names, are actually pretty enjoyable. [[The Scrappy|EXCEPT FOR SPRITLE]].
** To be fair, it was pretty good animation for the time it was made. The rest... well, no argument there.
* The 3-episode [[OVA]] ''[[ICE]]'' is thoroughly amateurish, prone to every possible [[Girls Love|Girls]]/BoysLove and [[What Do You Mean Its Not Symbolic]]/[[Mundane Made Awesome|Awesome]] cliche out there, has the weirdest main heroine's voice in anime history, and is generally so incoherent story-wise that you can't just drop watching it. And when you are done, you'll write a five page review [[Bile Fascination|telling the world how bad the OVA is]].
* ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! The Movie: Pyramid of Light|Yu-Gi-Oh the Movie Pyramid of Light]]'' could be considered one of the worst anime movies ever pumped out by [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]], for taking the bad plots, dialog, voice acting, and [[Product Placement]] leaps and bounds farther than even ''[[Yu-Gi-Oh! GX]]'' has managed to do. There are reasons, though, that some find the movie so hilariously bad that it was entertaining: the entire lack of explanation as to why anything was happening, or why Yami was suddenly able to summon a gigantic glowy dragon, plus the random [[Everybody Was Kung-Fu Fighting|kung fu fights]] with mummies led to [[Narm|much inappropriately-timed laughter]]. The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u9-3mzm9MEw Abridged Version] sums it up: "I can't help but feel as if it was some sort of cheap cash-in made to promote a bunch of cards." Japan got a novelization and some extra scenes that explained more of the plot (which helped little to none at all.)
Line 75:
== Music ==
* Some of the original songs for ''Pocket Monsters'' (the original Japanese version of ''[[Pokémon (anime)|Pokemon]]'') have an endearing sort of awfulness. For an epitomizing example, look no further than [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-e1viB7RMus "Pokemon ieru kana?"] ("Can you say the ''Pokemon''['s names]?") -- the basis for the "Pokerap"—which starts with a sample of the Beatles' "I am the Walrus" and a hyper-enthusiastic American accented MC, and keeps getting weirder,
* The dub opening for ''[[Cardcaptor Sakura|Cardcaptors]]''. "The secrets of the Clow - were all a mystery~! But when this mighty book was opened, the powers were set free! CARDCAPTORS - a mystic adventure! CARDCAPTORS - a quest for all time!" Um... yeah.
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2OrMqQP_oDk opening theme] to the [[4Kids! Entertainment|4Kids]] English dub of ''[[One Piece]]''. "Yo ho ho, he took a bite of Gum Gum!"
** That sounds like something out of ''[[Night at the Museum]]''.
* Intentionally "so bad it's awesome", ''[[Lucky Star]]''{{'}}s Konata's karaoke of the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0R9k0yl8Atk&feature=related ''Dragon Ball Z'' theme.]
* The original English theme for ''[[Dragon Ball]] Z'', "Rock the Dragon". [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdFy2lWc3lo Dragon Dragon, Rock the Dragon, Dragon Ball Z *roar*]
* For the Latin American dub of ''[[Magic Knight Rayearth]]'' they decided to record a new version of its classic opening "Yuzurenai Negai". The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65IRCa0TJC0 original song] is pretty, but for the dub they inexplicably choose male singers with deep voices, and that's before we talk of the changes
