@@i_will_not_elaborate It's a cliché scam message- people lying about who they are to try to trick others out of their money. Just looking up "Nigerian Prince e-mail" brings up the Wikipedia article about "Advance-free scams." The stereotype has nothing to do with actual Nigerians.
@@ChaosRayZero actually the most successful guy to use these scams was in fact Nigerian. Look up Ademe Adejumo. But for real though, that expansion had a shit budget, those lines he recorded were probably the only thing close to professional work they were given.
Fun fact: the voice clips for Resident Evil 1 were chosen by a guy who didn't speak English and just chose them based on what aesthetically sounded the best to him.
@Ken narville unless you're quoting 17th century texts religious texts it's usually 'incapable' rather than 'uncapable' I'm not personally one to be a stickler for language rules, but if you're commenting on an entire nation's ability to learn a language you may as well get the sentence you're saying 'right'
10:05 A little about the voice acting on Sonic Adventure: -The director only spoke Japanese - The voice actors had only a week to do their lines - There was no air conditioning in the studio
As a fellow Nigerian, I must say, you held at least a decent "generic stereotypical African voice" for a solid few seconds before crashing into Hadrian's Wall. I give you half a Doomfist. Which is still better than 99.999999999999% of attempts.
Charr Everything about it is unintentionally hilarious. Believe me. As a Devil May Cry fan, when you know this scene in CONTEXT, it’s not meant to be humorous. But hey. Capcom has a history with bad/mediocre voice acting in their earlier titles.
I hate it when people take the tidus and yuna scene out of context. It's supposed to be stiff and awkward because they are FORCING themselves to laugh despite their horrible situation. If you watch a few seconds after they stop fake laughing you can hear them ACTUALLY laughing and it sounds fine. For a fake forced laugh it's actually pretty good. People often take that scene out of context and it's so annoying.
I feel like the game as a whole had some issues with the voice acting, not just the scene, but this was also from the era of the "inbetween" of the RE1 forced/rushed voice and the higher quality of more modern voice (not that there arent bad eggs now too). Overall, I felt that it was more of issues with script pacing rather than the V. Actors themselves
4:20 context Girl: You should try laughing sometime. Guy: *forced laugh* Girl: *joins in for fun* Both: *genuinely laugh about how silly that was* That's the short version. I don't know why people leave out the real laugh at the end.
MrParkerman6 I... guess? I’d say there’s objectively good and bad acting though. I’m not saying the voice acting in Final Fantasy X was amazing, but an awkward laugh that had the full intention of being awkward isn’t bad acting, especially within the context of the scene. People just judge the acting in FFX solely off that scene, which isn’t fair.
it comes after a really sad and depressing moment and thats their attempt at making themselves feel better its suppose to be an awkward thing.. but yeah, people love to shit on stuff.
Yeah I remember when that happened in the game cuz afterwards they actually get into slight real laughter. For the record it's pronounced like Teedus lol I'm a nitpicking
It takes place after yuna sends the souls of the dead after an attack from sin, she talks to tidus about how sometimes in a more complicated situation it helps to just force yourself to laugh, then tidus laughs empathizing and I think giving an important (if cheesy) comic relief after one of the darker parts of the story
EXACTLY. Thank you. People take the clip out of context and so it just looks like bad voice acting. But the scene itself is about forcing yourself to be happy when you're sad, therefore the laugh is forced
@@Konaruhi Yeah, a lot of people didn't understand that that was the intention..they were supposed to sell that they were forcing a laugh, that they were actually extremely troubled on the inside, if you take it out of context, it sounds terrible, but in context it should be obvious..especially since they are legitimately laughing directly after the fake laughing. Its amazing to me how many people took this as Tidus and Yuna legitimately laughing..
bless you i was about to comment this! taken out of context everyone makes fun of it but if you play the game you can tell it’s supposed to sound like that
@@boobviking3146 it actually was the other way arround, Yuna asked Tidus to force that laugh to cheer him up. PD: it's actually one of my favourite moments in the game.
@@hitsugatatsuro9978 Considering what he learned about Jecht and Sin, it would've been hard to feel any happiness. Tidus genuinely started laughing after Yuna added her forced laughter with his.
I unironically think the 4Kids Winx Club voices are the best, at least for the main girls. Each voice was distinct and suited their personalities. Now they are all just generic and unmemorable
Considering the English word for onigiri is rice ball, I’m pretty sure young kids from western countries would be able to garner what exactly those are. It is a ball of rice, it’s not that hard to comprehend even if it’s not food their familiar with. Kids can understand basic things about foreign cultures as long as you actually bother giving them information that makes it accessible to them. That being said, 4Kids has a tendency to write their dubs as specifically set in America when the original show is set in real life Japan rather than a fantasy world (hence the name change for the anime Tokyo Mew Mew to Mew Mew Power,) and that’s why they remove references from japanese culture entirely, even if it’s super basic stuff.
The Tidus scene being labeled bad voice acting has always bothered me because it's supposed to be a fake laugh to lift their spirits, and it's followed by actual laughter which sounds more convincing Final Fantasy X has really good voice acting in general
Both the line itself and the delivery is pure cringe. Quite interesting comparing the newer entriest from DMC 3 onward to just how bad the early voice work was :P
@@millystratford1103 Hahaha yeah! When I saw the tweet I instantly thought of the video where he reacts to his old auditions and I knew I had to say something😂
As a Nigerian, that performance hurt me. But I laugh anyway. You sound like a Finnish Text-to-Speech with those lines! Where the hell was I when they did this competition.
The Tidus thing I that he's literally forcing himself to laugh (as Yuna's suggestion), to cheer himself up. He's *supposed* to sound bad, especially when the other characters look at them weird and they both laugh, followed by Yuna saying "maybe we shouldn't laugh anymore". It's purposeful and I hate that people take it as a bad voice acting example.
4:36 Funny you say that. Because in the Dissidia NT VA interview, Tidus’s VA even admits it sounds ridiculous, but he said the voice director wanted to sound exactly like the Japanese version.
People need to play the game and/or focus while playing 8D Tidus was forcing a fake laugh. It was supposed to sound fake and bad, that's the whole point of the scene.
we thought we could stand out by having the VA be kids the same age as their characters and all the Digimon sound like the goddamn pedo from Family Guy
...I feel like that That Elephant is what half my classmates imitated vs the actual Schwarzenegger (and good grief how does anyone spell that without a reference?!?)
I always saw it as being intentionally bad. After all, Tidus is hardly in a mood to laugh. The whole world as he knew it was over, and the only person he thought could get him home can't. The laugh turns a bit more natural after the forced attempt in either case, so you can clearly tell the VA isn't to blame here.
The voice actor himself has stated time and time again that yes. It was intentionally bad. It was supposed to sound fake and forced, because that's exactly what it is.
CDawg is the real MVP for pointing out that the the FFX laugh was intentionally bad. I don't know how many times I've had to defend that scene, but I've lost count.
@@LadyoftheDreamless14 yes! I knew this line would work! Now i will go out to the real world and get a true gamer gurl! *proceeds to use line on true gamer gurl* *gets rejected* Damn you laws of causality! You have doomed me! Nooooooooooooooooo! 😭😭😭
For FFX, the context of that scene is important. Tidus tells Yuna that even if she's not happy, she can always try to make herself happy and then proceeds to do the fake laugh. It's supposed to be awkward. It's like people never played the fucking game
Fun Fact! that is entirely wrong, Akira (and his dad) is voiced several characters in the american release of Bob The Builder from 1999-2000 and hes from canada.
You know I have to say, I have been wanting to become a VA for some time now, and the fact that you won a competition with *that* Nigerian voice really gives me a huge boost in confidence, so thank you for that!!! xD I also appreciate that you included yourself in this video, props to you for keeping it real!
Can you make a video reacting to GOOD voice acting now? You probably already are but damn I'd like to see some pro voice actors at work maybe on some stuff i haven't already seen.
Good on you for calling out people for saying thee FFX laugh is bad, storywise theyre in a really shitty situation and theyre forcing themselves to laugh to try and lighten the mood.
The Titus laughing was actually supposed to be that way. He was trying to comfort Yuna about something I can't remember. But the cool thing is the va for Titus actually joined the joke and even said "It's meant to be bad"
Always peeves me when people think it's the VA's fault. Yes, it's a meme (and rightfully so) but it makes complete sense in context. It's supposed to be painfully awkward.
@@CarbonRollerCaco No one said it ISNT cringe. Lol. Of course it's super awkward and cringey. BUT knowing plot, and understanding WHY the character did something super cringe is IMPORTANT. *insert "the more you know" meme*
So fun fact, the scene where Tidus and Yuna laugh in Final Fantasy 10 is really taken out of context. The laugh isn't supposed to be an actual laugh. It's Tidus expressing his anger at the situation he's put into. Yuna suggests that he try laughing to vent so it's not supposed to be a legitimate laugh.
4:28 I wish youd show just a bit more of the cutscene, as their forced laughter turns to real laughter!! The whole scene is about forcing laughter, as a coping mechanism. I think its so silly that people hold it up as a standard of bad voice acting. I think its actually great voice acting.
4:22 (FFX laugh scene) Oh my god, THANK YOU for saying that it's intentional. I always feel like I'm defending this one. People jump on the "it's cringe, it's bad voice acting" band wagon, and out of context it sounds that way. But just before this laugh, they are literally talking about forcing a laugh out to make light of a stressful situation or something. And following this INTENTIONAL awkward laugh, they laugh normally and talk about how stupid that was. The only reason I can imagine why people think it's bad is because they don't actually know the whole scene and they just repost the meme everywhere.
what's sad is that people don't realize that the Titus laughing scene.... is supposed to be like that because the characters are doing FORCED laughs to try and cheer themselves up and later on in the scene they laugh for real after making fools of themselves to loosen themselves up. "Hey, I know you are feeling down right now... but what always makes me pep up is some forced laughter.. the brain totally doesn't know the difference"
Oh ya, I, someone who has NEVER played ANY of the Final Fantasy games, should've KNOWN the context of this scene!! How could I not have known that when I don't play Final Fantasy games?! Shame on me!
The video is fun and really informative, but can I just say that I appreciate how our boi rocks that jacket/suit? If I could, I'd like this video twice, for the aesthetics.
Now I kinda wanna see a video of you reacting to good voice acting. Like for example that one scene in "when supernatural battles became commonplace". Would be cool to see a whole video with voice acting scenes like that one.
about the infamous tidus laugh:I still don't get why this is so commonly brought up as an example of bad voice acting. it fits the scene perfectly. tidus awkwardly forces himself to laugh to try and make the grimm nature of their journey less grimm. its SUPPOSED to be awkward.
@@luigiluis3d482 You have to admit, Megalovania is really damn overrated in terms of video game music (not to mention it's just a recycled piece of music). Look elsewhere and you'll hear themes ten or a hundred times better.
Wait.. you did voice acting for Age of Empires 2? How old are you?! You look like you're 25 but did voice acting for a game that came out 20 years ago...
I'm pretty sure there was an element of self-awareness to the yugioh dub if that season. There were mentions by other characters that broke the forth wall, I think in the same episode actually. Cyrus says to Jaden "You know I carried that water for 2 whole episodes Jai". So I beleive the Mammoth voice was entirely intentional. They were meme-ing xD
Ahaha yeah I'm really sure there was too! There are a ton of...'peculiar' lines from Yugioh GX season 3 mostly that have the fandom constantly joking that the directors were making an abridged series on purpose 😂

You ousted connor with his old voice acting then 😂😂😂😂 thanks for calling him out
maaaaate
@@millystratford1103 Hahaha yeah! When I saw the tweet I instantly thought of the video where he reacts to his old auditions and I knew I had to say something😂
As a Nigerian, that performance hurt me. But I laugh anyway.
You sound like a Finnish Text-to-Speech with those lines!
Where the hell was I when they did this competition.
Same , I was cackling
same...
And as a Finn, that’s a really spot on comparison
The Tidus thing I that he's literally forcing himself to laugh (as Yuna's suggestion), to cheer himself up. He's *supposed* to sound bad, especially when the other characters look at them weird and they both laugh, followed by Yuna saying "maybe we shouldn't laugh anymore". It's purposeful and I hate that people take it as a bad voice acting example.
4:36 Funny you say that. Because in the Dissidia NT VA interview, Tidus’s VA even admits it sounds ridiculous, but he said the voice director wanted to sound exactly like the Japanese version.
its also a point of the scene for it to sound bad, but people take it completely out of context
@@lioninjawarloc wasn't the whole point of that scene to cheer Titus up by making him force a laugh?
@@DissedRedEngie tidus was trying to cheer up yuna but yeah
Yeaaah they actually Fake their laugh here. That why it sound like a Fake laugh because it actually is.
People need to play the game and/or focus while playing 8D
Tidus was forcing a fake laugh. It was supposed to sound fake and bad, that's the whole point of the scene.
Not an English dub, but I'd suggest checking out the Finnish-language dub of Digimon for some absolutely BEAUTIFUL bad voice acting
Don't forget Flipper and Lopaka.
I think the Swedish version might have been equally bad if not worse
we thought we could stand out by having the VA be kids the same age as their characters and all the Digimon sound like the goddamn pedo from Family Guy
I was just going to comment this. Even as a child back then i realised how bad it was :D
The Agapio Racing Team specifically.
I CANT BELIEVE THE SCHWARZENEGGER MAMMOTH IS VOICED BY THE SAME GUY WHO VOICES GOKU
And Lucario
God I cant believe this reality is real
Shows the power of directors. "We want Arnold Schwarzenegger." "Ok."
...I feel like that That Elephant is what half my classmates imitated vs the actual Schwarzenegger (and good grief how does anyone spell that without a reference?!?)
@Suffer No Fools Depends on his role, really.
17:27 I think I am more disturbed by the art and animation than the voice acting, meanwhile dying of laughter at the 2 combined Lmbo! 😂
Zelda cdi is definitely the game of all time
Finally someone who understands the ffx laugh might have some CONTEXT to it. -__-''
I always saw it as being intentionally bad. After all, Tidus is hardly in a mood to laugh. The whole world as he knew it was over, and the only person he thought could get him home can't. The laugh turns a bit more natural after the forced attempt in either case, so you can clearly tell the VA isn't to blame here.
Agreed! It was a forced laugh.
@@jaredulch that's exactly what I always thought!
@@jaredulch Interesting.
The voice actor himself has stated time and time again that yes. It was intentionally bad. It was supposed to sound fake and forced, because that's exactly what it is.
"they're selling this and they have those mistakes in?"
Yep, that's Bethesda for ya
CDawg is the real MVP for pointing out that the the FFX laugh was intentionally bad. I don't know how many times I've had to defend that scene, but I've lost count.
Yeah, the Tidus laught isn't bad, it's just unfathomably cringey. In both english and japanese.
Okay but what's the excuse for the rest of the game?
@@SuperSanity1 I guess I didn't put it correctly, my bad.
The entire game is unfathomably cringey.
@@SuperSanity1 JRPG in general is unfathomably cringy
@Squirrel Playing games in general is unfathomably cringy
Uru’s voice acting is amazing. The level of unintended passive aggressiveness is wonderful.
I fully recommend watching ghost stories in english dub it's so funny 😂
I wanna laugh at these people but frankly I'd probably sound exactly like that if I ever tried my hand at voice acting
I personally love the old Devilman dub BECAUSE of how bad it is. Its a beautiful dumpster fire and I love it.
I love you too baby 😎
@@ChrisPBacon-xn9up not even the slightest idea as to how i respond to this other then, you are welcome.
@@LadyoftheDreamless14 yes! I knew this line would work! Now i will go out to the real world and get a true gamer gurl!
*proceeds to use line on true gamer gurl*
*gets rejected*
Damn you laws of causality! You have doomed me! Nooooooooooooooooo! 😭😭😭
@@ChrisPBacon-xn9up you're better option would to be honestly and respectful rather then use a line. Best of luck
@@LadyoftheDreamless14 ok, thanks. Bye! :D
I legit died when he turned the laughs into Megalovania.Just-
This is why i subscribed
”Dead beat dads are not cool!”
*”AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA”*
Ghost Stories will always be best dub
*silently cries*
For FFX, the context of that scene is important. Tidus tells Yuna that even if she's not happy, she can always try to make herself happy and then proceeds to do the fake laugh. It's supposed to be awkward. It's like people never played the fucking game
@@mufasathor8525 Which is fair, but saying it was bad voice acting is wrong
Fun fact! The Devilman dub was done by British voice actors doing American accents, you can hear it if you listen closely.
Especially in the way they word things.
Fun Fact! that is entirely wrong, Akira (and his dad) is voiced several characters in the american release of Bob The Builder from 1999-2000 and hes from canada.
You know I have to say, I have been wanting to become a VA for some time now, and the fact that you won a competition with *that* Nigerian voice really gives me a huge boost in confidence, so thank you for that!!! xD I also appreciate that you included yourself in this video, props to you for keeping it real!
16:07 **JonTron flashbacks** "SNOW WHITE AND THE SEVEN CLEVER BOOOOOOIIIIIS I'm a clever boy why don't you put me on the cover"
8:55 I love how it shifts into an Arnold Schwarzenegger impression at the end.
But not as Arnold as that crazy mammoth.
-Paintspot Infez
Wasabi!
Thank God I'm not the only one who thought that.
Can you make a video reacting to GOOD voice acting now? You probably already are but damn I'd like to see some pro voice actors at work maybe on some stuff i haven't already seen.
The Devilman dub will forever be my favorite voice acting.
Dude I'm Nigerian and you sound fine, not like completely Nigerian but almost there in a way lmao
I can't believe he didn't get the "my precious power ring! gone forever. GRAAAAAHHHHH"
Good on you for calling out people for saying thee FFX laugh is bad, storywise theyre in a really shitty situation and theyre forcing themselves to laugh to try and lighten the mood.
The Titus laughing was actually supposed to be that way. He was trying to comfort Yuna about something I can't remember. But the cool thing is the va for Titus actually joined the joke and even said "It's meant to be bad"
i mean the tidus laugh was actually supposed to be a fake laugh.
TIDUS' LAUGH IS MEANT TO BE FAKE IN THAT SCENE! HE WAS FORCING HIMSELF TO LAUGH FOR YUNA'S SAKE°°
Always peeves me when people think it's the VA's fault. Yes, it's a meme (and rightfully so) but it makes complete sense in context. It's supposed to be painfully awkward.
The animation mixed with the voice acting for that one was terrifying
This comment thread is righting an ancient wrong.
The problem is that it sounds annoying REGARDLESS.
@@CarbonRollerCaco No one said it ISNT cringe. Lol. Of course it's super awkward and cringey.
BUT knowing plot, and understanding WHY the character did something super cringe is IMPORTANT. *insert "the more you know" meme*
So fun fact, the scene where Tidus and Yuna laugh in Final Fantasy 10 is really taken out of context. The laugh isn't supposed to be an actual laugh. It's Tidus expressing his anger at the situation he's put into. Yuna suggests that he try laughing to vent so it's not supposed to be a legitimate laugh.
Why don’t they do the other lines like “withYunabymyside”? There are plenty of other awkward lines.
@@iantaakalla8180 Right? They always choose the one that is awkward on purpose lol
4:28 I wish youd show just a bit more of the cutscene, as their forced laughter turns to real laughter!!
The whole scene is about forcing laughter, as a coping mechanism. I think its so silly that people hold it up as a standard of bad voice acting. I think its actually great voice acting.
Fun fact on that FFX clip: it's always taken out of context. The laugh is supposed to sound fake in universe.
Your Nigerian archer is just Ugandan Knuckles with a 20% thicker accent
Edit: okay he acknowledged it
6:20 “Do not worry, you are not alone on your journey. I will show you da wae.” 😂😂😂
*click click click click*
“Wait a minute let me do that again”
5:58, as a Nigerian, I can safely say NOOoooOoo 😂 why were u rolling all the consonants 😂😂😂
"I want to hear the fear of death in your voice!" That is my favourite quote in this video!
4:22 (FFX laugh scene) Oh my god, THANK YOU for saying that it's intentional. I always feel like I'm defending this one. People jump on the "it's cringe, it's bad voice acting" band wagon, and out of context it sounds that way. But just before this laugh, they are literally talking about forcing a laugh out to make light of a stressful situation or something. And following this INTENTIONAL awkward laugh, they laugh normally and talk about how stupid that was. The only reason I can imagine why people think it's bad is because they don't actually know the whole scene and they just repost the meme everywhere.
8:50 a five year old boy having a tantrum
this is what we all came here for
what's sad is that people don't realize that the Titus laughing scene.... is supposed to be like that because the characters are doing FORCED laughs to try and cheer themselves up and later on in the scene they laugh for real after making fools of themselves to loosen themselves up.
"Hey, I know you are feeling down right now... but what always makes me pep up is some forced laughter.. the brain totally doesn't know the difference"
Exactly what i was thinking
Thank you!!!
Honestly, I can't stand all of you ff fans saying " oH iF SoMEonE dOEsn'T gET tHE TiDUs aNd yUNa SCeNe THeN tHErE sTUpID" like god it's pathetic
Oh I got it...I still think the scene is cringy.
Oh ya, I, someone who has NEVER played ANY of the Final Fantasy games, should've KNOWN the context of this scene!! How could I not have known that when I don't play Final Fantasy games?! Shame on me!
“wHAT AM I FIGHTING FOOOOÔOOØOOR” i died
Throughout the entire video I was thinking “please show the old Devilman dub”
*weird prolonged staring *
"And then... he died."
"AAAAAAAAAAH"
"Is it okay for me to wear my shoes in here?"
"I don't give a shit"
6:59 - 7:15
You know you dont need to thank me
Because this clip is enough to make everyone smile
wow. i REALLY cant move my body 🙄
HE SOUNDS SO FRUIT Y
You came for the thumbnail, didn’t you my boy?
Yes got jebaited
Link: I guess that's a worth a kiss huh?
Zelda: huhmm.
Link: I won.
I mean it's bad voice acting but it's funny! 😂
Mah Boy!

17:21 "I-I wanna know how this came to be."
No. You don't.
The video is fun and really informative, but can I just say that I appreciate how our boi rocks that jacket/suit? If I could, I'd like this video twice, for the aesthetics.
This video is mostly Connor being confused. I love it.
Now I kinda wanna see a video of you reacting to good voice acting. Like for example that one scene in "when supernatural battles became commonplace". Would be cool to see a whole video with voice acting scenes like that one.
5:57 me and my cousin laughed so hard
us Nigerians don't sound like that lol but u tried
The Ghost Stories dub, to this day, remains the second-best gag dub in anime. Only Shin-chan is better.
I wanted to watch it. But Funimation doesn't have it on their streaming service.
@@zidaryn you must become the pirate king to watch it
@@tippedbucket I have retired from the seas and am reluctant to set sail again. Though it looks like I must.
Crunchyroll does though.
TO BE A MAN YOU MUST HAVE HO-NOR! HO-NOR AND A PEEEEEEEEEE-NIS! OOOooooweeeoooweeeeooo!
about the infamous tidus laugh:I still don't get why this is so commonly brought up as an example of bad voice acting. it fits the scene perfectly. tidus awkwardly forces himself to laugh to try and make the grimm nature of their journey less grimm. its SUPPOSED to be awkward.
OMG how much time did you spend editing that atrocity at 18:11 ?
What do you mean by atrocity? It's a masterpiece
It's the best part of the video.
It's both
It's undertale
@@luigiluis3d482 You have to admit, Megalovania is really damn overrated in terms of video game music (not to mention it's just a recycled piece of music). Look elsewhere and you'll hear themes ten or a hundred times better.
5:53 For the people coming from latest Trash Taste Podcast wanting to hear Cannur's Nigerian accent.
cheers
He shoiuld be proud this is actually a good African accent
It is interesting to see how much his videos have changed over the years
*NOW THISSS! IS HOW U DO A REACTION COMMENTARY. 👏👏👏 hilarious and great insight 👌*
*Thank u connor, very cool*
18:11 I love you that you put a YTPMV of a popular source of YTPs in a video reacting to bad voice acting.
11:51 I don't see a problem with that VA at all. In fact I think it's a work of art.
The Arnold Mamoth killed me Soo much😂😂😂💀💀 11:48
I’LL BE BAAA-
aaAAauuuUuaguhh

Wait.. you did voice acting for Age of Empires 2?
How old are you?!
You look like you're 25 but did voice acting for a game that came out 20 years ago...
HarleyAMV i was thinking the same thing.
Apparently to famous birthdays he is 22, so he was 2..... makes sense
I think it was this contest for the hd version
www.forgottenempires.net/age-of-empires-ii-hd-african-voice-acting-competition
Wait yea its this one
Right?
I remember my dad introducing me to this game when I was like... eight or something.
And that was well over a decade ago.
Connor educating us all on the art of voice acting...while making an unholy amount of jokes.
I had no idea you were in Age of Empires!! Those games were what got me into gaming in the first place!! So awesome to find out!
I'm pretty sure there was an element of self-awareness to the yugioh dub if that season. There were mentions by other characters that broke the forth wall, I think in the same episode actually.
Cyrus says to Jaden "You know I carried that water for 2 whole episodes Jai". So I beleive the Mammoth voice was entirely intentional. They were meme-ing xD
Ahaha yeah I'm really sure there was too! There are a ton of...'peculiar' lines from Yugioh GX season 3 mostly that have the fandom constantly joking that the directors were making an abridged series on purpose 😂
