The funny thing about the funny bag is that it doesn't say the funny thing

The funny thing about the funny bag is that it doesn't say the funny thing.

Was there a better 4Kids dub than Kirby?

I don't about anyone else but 4kids dubs were the best.

In some cases, perhaps, but others were done better by other companies.
Pic related.

4kids Sanji had more personality than generic pretty boy #9001 Funi Sanji could ever have.

Also pre-timeskip Chopper is best Chopper.

Looking back, I can honestly say 4Kids dubs were perfect. One Piece being the sole exception, but apparently they had to dub that it they wanted Ultimate Muscle.(or something like that, it's a very weird situation)

4kids announced they had the Kinnikuman license well before Ultimate Muscle should have entered production and admitted that there was a point where they (very briefly) considered dubbing 80s Kinnikuman.

Either 4kids got super lucky or Ultimate Muscle was made specifically for 4kids. Given that the first season had 52 episodes and ended smack-dab in the middle of a filler arc, probably the later.

You people are suffering from some real bad nostalgia poisoning.

I mean, it wasn't a good show to begin with but that new cast was hit n' miss as fuck.

>it's been more than a decade since 4kids was at the height of its power on Saturday morning
>Kids WB no longer exists
>FOX Kids no longer exists
>no more after-school blocks
>all those shows fading into the mist
>"Saturday morning cartoons" no longer exists as a concept on any network
>no more Friday night block of new cartoons
>only clunky, pre-planned mini dumps of 4-5 new episodes between hiatuses exists now
make it stop, I was never supposed to be old, it was never supposed to be like this

Why did this happen? The internet?

I'd still take having all the world's entertainment available at the push of a button over all that desu

That and cable TV being even more prolific. Everyone has access to 24/7 cartoon channels now.

>entertainment whenever you want it
>600+ channels to watch
>thousands of streams to view
>it's only Teen Titans GO! 24/7
we're dead, right?

we all died, and this is Hell, right?

>4kids dubs were the best.

Eh, in a "so bad its good" way, maybe.

>4kids Sanji
>Good

Fuck off. He was the cringiest part of that dub.

Look, just because something is "unique" doesn't give it a free pass into being "good." Sanji was fucking garbage, like the worst Sylvester Stalone impression anyone could manage.

>funny thing

This

We got Mike Pollack out of the 4Kids Sonic stuff and he's persisted even after Sega cut ties with 4Kids.

So some good came of it. He's a national treasure.

It was appropriate for kids, funny, and removed japan references no kid would get. It was great.

Holy fuck this thread makes me feel old. 4kids used to be enemy #1 on the internet.

>4kids used to be enemy #1 on the internet

I think the only genuinely good thing they were ever responsible for was the TMNT cartoon.

But even that series had to bus in talent from LA, like writers and a voice director to try and get good performances out of the shit bottom budget trash VAs.

The fact the TMNT cartoon they made was even watchable is a miracle.

Yu-gi-oh The Abridged Series did a lot to make people appreciate 4kids' silly voices and dorky writing.
