- A compilation of some of the funniest moments from Ghost Stories. Apparently the English dub actors thought that the original Japanese script was terrible so they just decided to make it really offensive. This entire show is comedy gold and I highly recommend watching it for a good laugh.

"RUN, SHES A GHOST AND A BITCH!"
My favorite
Honestly, either I could probably handle, but both is way too much. He was right to scream that.
I agree
😂😂😂😂😂
My favorite is momokos laugh in the “ITS A GHOST AND A BITCH” episode
The best shit ever
“Ghost Stories but context is gone” like the ghost stories dub ever had context to begin with
ong sometimes i forget that the things they said aren’t what the actual anime says 😭
Lmaooo fr
By ep 9 they didnt even bother to go on with the plot
@@RoccHard13 In this case it's true though. The Ghost Stories dub _with context_ makes about as much sense.
@@RoccHard13
Nah fr even with context the dub is weird as hell 💀
These people took Japanese _Scooby Doo_ and turned it into _South Park._
i fucking love this dub
This is an AMAZING comparison
I was thinking the exact same thing. Greetings from 2022, by the by.
And asked Deadpool to be a writer

"bloodstained lake?"
"AHHH"
"despite it being *bblueeee* ?"

@@GhostlyGhost707 Especially during BHM.
The ultimate comedy anime
And the most funny thing about it is that the sub is an actual serious anime it's just that the dubbing team was given so little material to go off of so they just re wrote the entirety of the dialog
@@The_fortnite_guy1 it's not that they had a lack of material, the anime just did so poorly in Japan that they were able to buy the dubbing rights for dirt cheap and the studio gave zero fricks what they did with the property.
@@StankFoe exactly, glad someone knows
true
"Shirotabi please forgive me for bringing you back to life, I know now that it could never work between us! As much as we want it to, it could never be! Not because you're a rabbit, but because you're bLAck" 😂
I'm fully convinced that they free styled this whole show
They did.
The one writer whose name escapes me atm had to keep the general mysteries the same to match up with the animation and the names of the characters the same (which is how we got LOOK OUT, TED, since the worker was unnamed), but he was told essentially he could go ham to make it funny.
@@LedosKell interesting :0
It became freestyle right after ep 3.
There wasn't really a script they just had to keep the story but other than that they were aloud to say whatever 💀
They sent the script overseas and told them: *Go crazy we don’t give a shit*
Ayyy

Dub team: What script?
I feel like they gave the dub actors a vauge plot and some stiff drinks and said:Go nuts
Being a voice actor for the dub would be a gift of god
The hardest part would be performing the lines without bursting out laughing
I dream of this exact scenario every day of my life lol.
The VAs for the main characters are Chris Patton and Hillary Haag
@@Tigershark_3082 the most amazing va's
I think the story for the dub is they all got high on pot and made the scripy
Me, being Japanese and knowing the original: "None of that was ever said, nor was it vulgar............. But this is a million times better, for once." XD
😭
Is that why is seem like an abridged version
Do other Japanese people know about this? Can I know their opinion? Lmao
@@spoakyam Yes, some others know and many find it funny whilst a minority get offended lol (usually the old)
I remember my mum showing me this because I was like 4 and bored of anpanman and the English one came on and I will never forget the look on her face
The fact that the Japanese sub is completely normal makes this so much better
i think they have a Japanese version of the drunk one too lmao
@@destroyerkitty9434 even the panties scenes? Cause I'm pretty sure they just translated those parts word for word 😂😂😂
"I hear the sound of you shutting the fuck up."
"Let's see...seven?"
"What the FUCK does that mean?!"
This is the purest form of absurdist humor. It never fails to crack me up.
Sounds like me n my siblings
I always thought he said ca va
@@bongodongo9229Holds up seven fingers;
Your mind: 🇫🇷🗣️
I am convinced that the dub scriptwriters and VAs were drunk the whole time
They followed the original Japanese script by keeping the story and characters the same, but didn’t care about the rest and just did whatever they wanted
@@aidanlastname0187 It was simple, didn’t sell well in Japan, and they said “do whatever, Lee the story and character names the same.” Anything that can sell during that time.
Not the whole time, but if you binge the series you can listen as the episodes degrade in filter as it goes on
@@coconuttydragoon3445 lo bueno es que sí leyeron e hicieron un muy buen doblaje
No, sober minds are required for good comedy writing, actually.
“I’m doing my standard anime elbows up pose.” - That one kid
"Purple hair, in case you couldn't tell this was a god damn anime" was my favorite. Don't think it's in here though.
3:31 the way she just does the exact same scream twice in a row for now discernible reason kills me.
-bloodstained lake *AAAAGH*
Bloodstained lake? *AAAAGH*
Pretty sure they canned it the first time and reused it throughout 😂
What’s crazy is that it feels so much like an abridged anime…but it’s not, it’s all legit 😂
WHAT!?
An abridged would probably be an accurate dub.
It is considered the first abridged anime actually, funnier that it is an official work.
I love how, despite being different from the original japanese, the characterization is pretty consistent
It’s honestly remarkable how well it was adapted
Like making the older girl receive messages from God instead of being psychic is such a good choice
Awesome to hear they managed to be ridiculous while still being in character
To ever assume this show had context was a bold accusation
I like how they frequently break the 4th wall as well self-awareness comedy at it’s finest
I love that they mentioned breaking the third wall 2:27
No wall is safe
5:54 Just gotta read the script 😾😿
Breaking the third wall is showing awareness you are in a fictional situation. Breaking the fourth wall is addressing the audience. You don't seem to understand the two.
@@OroborusFMA self-awareness is still relevant to break the 4th wall, was that explanation even necessary 💀
Ghost Stories is the reason no weeb can ever convince me that subs are superior to dubs.
Apparently original show was so bland and boring, no one watched it in Japan, so when ADV wanted to get their hand on some anime, managers gave them this with guideline "Just leave main story and character names intact, and do whatever the hell you want". So crew just went completely insane because no-one cared - initial studio just hoped to get some money from this bomb and ADV didn't care either - they wanted to have anime on broadcast. Dubs like this happen only once in millenia because stars have aligned in a very wrong, but correct way and instead of faithful but boring adaptation we've been blessed with the most hillarious shit I've heard in a while.
@@OmegaEnvych Subs are better. But abridged shows are always gold
I only watch dub and i found this gem
Subs are superior, but only for live-action shows.
the dubs usually have things put in that werent apart of the original scrip and it just makes it a lot funnier
4:32-5:04 100000% that voice actor loves their job
the hail hitler at the end 💀
Bitch I’m on ✨fire✨
I NEED JOB LIKE THIS
"I'll do the broadcast if you never talk to me again"
good girl you keep sucking up like this and I'll make you valedictorian. Harvard's in the bag :)
This is what happens when you let voice actors make up their own lines, and its the funniest thing ive seen in a while
Another good anime that does this is Lupin III (namely, Lupin III Part 2.) The English VA's have an absolute field day. It's amazing.
Edit: But Lupin III Part 2 is a far cry from GS dub. X'D
No this is what happens when you let a jokster write the script💀 there wasn't a lot of improv in this
hearing a little kid say "Can you record some for me?" in response to learning that somebody is getting laid is the funniest thing ive ever seen. yknow actually this entire thing is the funniest thing ive ever seen.
I just read you comment when it happened which made the scene so much better
“redder than republican texas” i’m hollering
There's a better line about "lost, like a black family in Bush's America".
2:48 i cant get over this line it makes me laugh everytime
That whole scene was absolutely amazing
@@anitaagarwal7486 i mean

THE FACT THAT THIS IS THE ACTUAL DUB MAKES ME WANNA CRY
The “I swear to god. Blue” got me way harder than it should’ve I think lmao
People can be pissed off at this show but I think it’s the funniest thing ever lol
As a Christian myself, I find this dub funny af
One of my friends is black, Jewish, *and* gay, and he'll be the first to tell any hater of this dub to go get a sense of humor.
@@opo3628 your friend is an icon

its so strange that i cant even hate it
I love how the show was a massive flop in Japan so they gave it to some dude (I forget his name) to dub and just went "This is all yours do whatever the fuck you want" and so he made South Park the anime
it wasn't the japanese that waa a flop
it did okay
there was a different english dub
that's the one which flopped
2:46 I still play this scene in my head everytime I gotta run laps

Okay but even with context this anime is a wild ride lmfaoooo
5:27 omg the iconic line-
No, that's 8:29
"Context is completely gone." Was there ever any to begin with? Literally any scenes in any order can be an episode and it all makes sense
Even with context it still makes as much sense
“Hey! There’s some weird red fog in the school, and I just saved a ton of money on my car insurance by switching to Geico!” WHY IS NO ONE TALKING ABOUT THIS LINE (it’s at 8:57, btw!)
As an early 2000s kid who was glued to CN, this is even more of an acid trip than the out of context moments. I recognize animation styles, voice actors, and jokes to do with current events
Oh my gods the "I swear to God, blue" scene actually zooms in
I'm dead
Shit!😂
4:10 Ah yes the stereotypical sassy black woman's voice 🤣🤣🤣🤣
She even got that nightcap thingie on. 😂

I don't think this English dub will be less cursed even with the context.

I kept wheezing at that part! 😂
1:21 This line gets me EVERYTIME
They really had fun with this show and it shows
5:58 "oh well I'm getting paid for this, just better read the script."
WHAT SCRIPT?
It's a single sheet of paper that in big letters that reads "WING IT, MAKE IT WORK ITS DUE MONDAY"
4:09 will forever be my fav moment
2:16 I love this part so much 😂

Wait...
Didn't notice at first. Kek
This is the almost equivalent to south park humor which is just awesome
I love how even with context this show needs explaining
Hajime gotta be the funniest and the most outta pocket character on this show 💀
Think of a big black man chasing you!
💀💀💀
This is shock value humor done right.
Fun fact, the “Jesus” girl is voiced by the same actress as Froppy 😂
and she also voices Mirajane in Fairy tail
i think i like this fact.
It’s funny because the person who voices Hajime Aoyama, Chris Patton, in Ghost Stories , was the same person who voiced Oikawa in the English dub for Haikyuu.
"you're a -f slur-." -tooru oikawa
I can't unheard it now 😭😭
When I watch haikyuu I will think of this
Honestly as much as I find some of the very over-the-top explicit humor forced a lot of this anime feels _incredibly natural_ and actually has really solid characterization and dialogue. Like the scene with the guys talking about sisters is very real banter. Maybe it’s just the fact we don’t usually get protagonists who are unabashedly awful people but they feel uniquely accurate to a friend group of rude, spiteful kids
5:47 I love this one
“THINK OF A BIG BLACK MAN CHASING YOU”💀🖐🏾
“Well he’s not racist”
I was really surprised when I found out it was from this dub. I would hear it in meme compilations without knowing where it came from
I CANT. “THINK OF A BIG BLACK MAN CHASING YOU!!” THAT ALWAYS GETS ME💀💀💀💀💀
It’s like they added all the bloopers into the actual show
0:08 WHAT DID SHE JUST SAY?
Im so glad they made ghost stories when they did. This shit would never fly today but holy fuck is it amazing.
Deep down, part of me wishes that after this dubbing the original studio in Japan saw the results, then they translated this back into Japanese and it was made into an amazing success. Somehow picturing all that makes me laugh even harder at this lol.
The closest thing we got were people who subbed ghost stories eng dub into japanese, on sites like on nicovideo
I don't understand japanese but judging from the amount of comments going "wwww" i think they know lmao
I thought it was?? I remember reading/hearing somewhere that it was at least
HOW IS THE DUB REAL ?? 😭💀
They only had three rules, and as long as they followed them, they got to do whatever they wanted.
ANYTHING
@@mutantmaster1 Yup, story the same, character names, and… cannot remember the third. That’s it and go ham~!
They didn’t got a dub script so the dub directer has to improvise it all
@@coconuttydragoon3445just remembered! They couldn't change the lip flaps that much, or at all, hence why the Little Brother spoke gibberish 90% of the time
If you find one with english subtitles (still being the dub tho), keiichirou's cry is dubbed by: [Keiichiro's Sob tm] and personally I think that its amazing that they trademarked it.
finally, a ghost stories video with clips i havent seen before
4:00 the OG of “haha! One!”
Accurate representation of middle school
3:53 this clip and the next one are my favorites lol

it’s the “third wall” because it’s anime so it’s originally 2D :D
Ghost Stories was picked up for dubbing by ADV Studios in 2005. According to voice actor Greg Ayres, they were told to "do whatever it took to sell the show." The only condition was that the basic story and names of major characters and ghosts had to remain intact, but everything else was fair game. To that end, director Steven Foster reworked the show into a pure Gag Dub by throwing out nearly all of the original script. When the voice actors were called in to record scenes, whoever got there first would set the tone and subject for the scene, which meant the other cast members had to follow in those footsteps. This approach produced a dub full of random characterization, fourth-wall-breaking jokes, political and cultural references.
Every voice actor on this series is phenomenal
In Germany, this style of dubbing has been popular since the 1970s, some shows and movies were even more successful, than in their home countries, because of that. It even has its own term, "Schnoddersynchro" (Snotty dub).
The fact one of the worlds leading voice actors are in this dub is what gets me
The fact that I recognize at least two of the voice actors from ouran in this makes it so much funnier imagining them saying this stuff
my favorite anime line of all time is "no im serious bitch. istg, blue."
Despite it being… blluuueee? :3
this feels like someone making a voice over parody but the funniest part is that it’s just real 😭
The Christian girl is my favorite. Her line about the internet being taken over by Muslims and pedophiles is my favorite line from her
