Another cringe-worthy line, this one from the dub of Char's Counterattack. During Char's speech, he mentions the "Teetahns." (as pronounced, not neccesarily how it was spelled) What?! A mountrain range on earth has attacked Zeon?! How was it even possible to mispronounce "Titans?" Urgh...

Nicol's famous last words "My mom, My Piano AGHGHGHA!"

It certainly didn't help that the damm scene was recapped like 50 times through the rest of GSEED and GSD.

Corrin in Turn A yelling "GUNDAM!" every time he gets his butt kick.

Michelo's contast rants whatever he fights Domon.

Master Asia's one speech that he made at the beginning of the final rounds of the Gundam Fight. "IF I WIN! I WILL BECOME MASTER OF EAST, WEST, NORTH, SOUTH AND CENTER!" Talk about having the ego trip.
Darn you F-Types!

Pretty much any time either of the Athhas opened their mouths made me want to kill small animals. I hate both of 'em.

OMG, it's so true...........


I don't remember the line specifically, but in CCA, when Amuro was trying to stop Axis from falling and he told all the other MS pilots to high tail it, he kept ranting about [Nu] Gundam's awesome power. I dunno, I thought it was lame on his part.

Also, I didn't like that one line from that African desert rebel in ZZ who screamed out "Death to all French influence." Being Haitian, I found that just a smidge on the offensive side.

Was it taking place in Algeria? Because Algeria was a French colony, and not a very happy one.

Actually, I don't know, now that you mention it....guess I'll go do some digging and see what I come up with.

Major Edit*: I didn't find anything on Algeria, but I forgot something.....a lot of those battles take place near Dakar, which is the capital of Senegal. And from what I remember, Senegal wasn't big on French influence.

When Meyrin almost gets Lunamaria killed by distracting her with inane prattle about how she shouldn't be fighting because the Lacus on Eternal is the real one. :roll: Heck, that's one of the most cringe-worthy lines in all of anime.

Didn't June(was that his name?) tell Roux that they refer to all Europeans as "French"?

Anything any Destiny character says is cringe worthy. Except for Shinn telling Caglli to shut up. That was a little too satisfying.

In Victory Gundam when Lupe says "You will become my dream...Boy!!!!"
and also when Uso is fighting "I can use my left hand too!" well, duh! MS are ambidextrous (sp?)...

And the ever famous MSG line: "Its the white devil!"

Also, in Gundam Wing (manga, I think): "Death hurts like hell" (hope that isn't against the rules)

Zechs's line about soldiers scurrying for their reward or something in episode one of Wing had me going "wtf?" for a while.

The first time I heard Haro talk there was a moment of profound confusion and discomfort.

A talking beach ball just seemed so...wrong. It also made me think a gold-plated, snobbish one would show up at some point while Amuro branded a lightsaber. Yeah...

Anything Olba says that has "nii-san" at the end. He's your brother. You don't need to clobber us over the head with that fact.
REGENE: (Grins) Any last words, Buuuuur-ing?
(Bring just grits his teeth and the Garazzo’s escape pod breaks off from its main body, flying straight up.)
REGENE: (Shakes head) Right then. Forgot we don’t talk on Planet You.

Ah yes, and the edited dub version of the line is even more cringeworthy-

Something like- "It hurts sooo much."

Actually, I believe the dub line is "I'll have to warn you. It hurts like hell.", then Trowa begins laughing uncontrollably.

Yeah. I'm good at remembering lines like that, I guess.

If it means anything, that's how it's pronounced in Japanese.


My favorite line comes from literally almost every single episode of V Gundam: "Damn white guy!!"
