Yes, the "So many arms" one killed me.... So are they going to cut some of them off? And I can testify as to the reality of these things, seeing as I own one.... Should I be advertising that?

They are so hilarious! "It's most unneutral", "Don't touch me Frodo!" "Don't do me anything, I'm natrual!" "Ondale, my name is Mr Ondale."
Oh my goodness... how funny!
The one that killed me? "I don't suppose we'll ever have to see them again".

Bye! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Ok, the two towers ones had to be fake!

Elennar Starfire 01-03-2004 09:10 PM

These are quite hilarious!

"Your uncle is varied by your mall content" Hmm, reminds me of what happened when I moved one letter in the ring poem...One ring to rule the mall...
"Your stick" Only funny because it should be staff, yet had me falling out of my chair.

And Frodo is now a Ringleader, a Wing Baron, and a Ring Barrel.

Arcuwen 01-07-2004 08:19 PM

That's the funniest [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] ! Haven't laughed like that in a while. Whoever made this was REALLY confused...
-Hoppits will the shake the fortunate of all
-Not some hot skirter from hot bottle [img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]
-Trust brandy stuck in a tooth
-Legolas is the Lord of Condo
Just had to share this one...(and I thought Sam and Frodo were friends...just friends...)

Finwe 01-08-2004 06:46 PM

*gasp* The truth is out! Now we know why Sam actually took Frodo in his arms at Mt. Doom!

Lathriel 01-08-2004 07:44 PM

First these captions frightened me because they were so strange but really they are soooooo funny!!!!! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
"The nine has left me to the Mordor."
What is Mordor? A creature now, and an evil one at that!

stickifinger 01-09-2004 01:58 PM

Yes, I'm sure somebody got a copy of the movie, listened to it and tried to write down what they heard. If they didn't speak English very well or know anything about the story, it would be really hard.

"When Hoppits will shakes the fortunate of all"
comes from
"One Hobbit will shake the fortune of all."

yare nande 01-20-2004 04:57 PM

my favorite is when Gandalf is looking through the old book in moria (durin's?) and the caption says: "And the second condo" and the webmaster wrote beneath it: "moria real estate listings" oh man that one had me on the floor... [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Silmiel of Imladris 01-20-2004 08:00 PM

This one almost killed me.

http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/e...-towers-01.jpg

I can believe these are real for I saw something on the news that Asian countries are trying to switch to English so fast that they are not translating things correctly. Even signs in stores look like this.

THE Ka 01-20-2004 10:01 PM

well, you would think that japan being the world's most technologically advanced country that they would have improved their translators... i mean come on... what's with sam hating frodo? everyone knows Frodo hate sam... [img]smilies/wink.gif[/img] (just joking...) Or, did the asian countries try to pull a photo copy and paste the pictures then spin the pictures really fast so it would LOOK like the original. Or, they changed some things to fit their outlook on the lord of the rings series... WHAT AM I SAYING?! THAT'S AGAINST COPYRIGHT REGULATIONS! sorry. i musn't of had enough coffee this morning.


But, what i REALLY think what HAPPENED was that num-chucks and friend though it really funny to make a joke by translating the paraphrases wrongly. either that or they really didn't have enough washabi that morning... When i saw the "bootlegging movie" i know i had enough washabi...

thanks that was a really good movie comedy wise. Sorry for my attatuide... i'm pulling one of my-oh-so-famous SIMOND moods.... you know, that jerk off of american idol...

Orominuialwen 01-21-2004 01:33 PM

He he he. This one cracks me up so much. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/e...-towers-02.jpg

Who does Theoden think he is, Pete Rose? *snickers* http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/e...-towers-06.jpg

I thought that was the Paths of the Dead?
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/e...-towers-13.jpg
Sketchy. Very, very sketchy.
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/e...-towers-07.jpg
This one is just hilarious.
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/e...-towers-09.jpg
Sorry, Gríma. There's only four of them.
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/e...-towers-09.jpg
AHHHHHHH!!!! Say it isn't so!
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/e...-towers-06.jpg
Are you allowed to say this in a PG-13 movie?
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/e...-towers-05.jpg
No, Gimli! There's so much to live for!
http://public.planetmirror.com/pub/e...-towers-05.jpg
I think Gollum has a future in advertising for Nike.

Good thing we're already dead, because if we weren't, we might have to worry about dying of laughter. I love Engrish.

Meneltarmacil 01-22-2004 02:17 PM

This is not right.

At least Turin had an excuse!

Saraphim 01-26-2004 07:36 PM

My brother and I both had asthma attacks looking at these! They are the funniest things i've seen since Dude, Where's my Ring? was taken off the site. Anyone for a japanese-english dictionary?
[img]smilies/tongue.gif[/img]

Luthien_ Tinuviel 01-26-2004 09:58 PM

Here's another one. These are more just bad mistakes, but a few of them are kind of funny. [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img] Japanese subtitle petition

Finwe 01-27-2004 11:32 AM

*snorts*


Ai me! These are absolutely hilarious! I could wring that translator's neck! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

Burzdol 01-27-2004 08:34 PM

That stuff is hilarious, but how do you find it?

Luthien_ Tinuviel 01-28-2004 12:49 PM

I had seen the two that I linked to before, so it was just a matter of doing a google search to find them again. I don't know if there are any ROTK ones out yet.... I can't wait! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]

WARNING: DO NOT READ THESE WHILE DRINKING 7UP. A FIZZY NOSE IS MOST UNPLEASANT. TRUST ME.:eek:

Very extremly funny. Very cool. This has entered the ranks of the Lord of the Peeps! Looooove It!:D

galadriel'smaiden 03-06-2004 10:33 AM

I AM CHOKING ON MY OWN LAUGHTER!

THAT WAS THE FUNNIEST THING I'VE READ IN MONTHS!

elfearz1 03-06-2004 01:33 PM

hehe
 
hahahaha! whew! these are awesome guys. Once again, Menel, you have cracked me up!

Isilmawiell 03-06-2004 01:44 PM

These are all great!!! I laughed so hard that my mother looked at me a bit scared...
I still have to laugh when I think of them.

*falls of chair and dies*

elfearz1 03-06-2004 02:15 PM

Have no fear, my mom does that all the time.

Elennar Starfire 03-08-2004 09:43 PM

Any chance of seeing some of these for RotK? They're hilarious!

Luthien_ Tinuviel 03-28-2004 04:41 PM

Not that I know of.....
 
I've done some rather extensive searches, and haven't turned up anything yet. I'm hoping someone will put some up sooner or later. I expect they'd be great.

Amariden Ravenhill 04-02-2004 01:18 PM

Oh man...It's too funny! :D HAHAHA! Yergh......you're right.....at least Turin and Niniel DIDN'T KNOW they were related......*gag* :eek:

Firefoot 04-02-2004 02:54 PM

These are hilarious! I want to see some more - no matter which movie they are from! Legolas took the Ring! hehehe - those people sure don't like Isildur!

Enorëiel 05-31-2004 08:25 PM

:D I had forgotten how funny these were!!! ROTFLOL! You need to have a near death laughing experience every so often to keep sane. ;) I sure hope there will be some of these for ROTK!!

Elennar Starfire 06-05-2004 01:10 PM

Aye, huzzah for Engrish! Endless amusement!

Lathriel 06-10-2004 02:44 PM

I didn't see the new pictures. They still scare me a little but they are also ver funny. They make my day a little better and they woke me up too.

Orominuialwen 08-02-2004 05:28 PM

Check this out! :D Rather ironic, no?

Nimrothiel 08-02-2004 05:38 PM

Ironic indeed. At least the safe part is correct... ;)

Encaitare 08-12-2005 10:04 PM

i know it is old frog food
 
Uppity with ye, O Thread! I found the Two Towers Engrish and wondered if it had been posted here before... lo and behold, it has been. Bumping this because both the FotR and TTT ones are absolutely hysterical. :D

Celuien 08-13-2005 08:02 AM

Old frog food is still good frog food...
 
That's the best laugh I've had in a long time. :D

Imagine if those translators had discovered and translated the Red Book...

Joy 08-13-2005 06:33 PM

Anything yet on RotK?? These are just too good!!

Found the ROTK's - http://www.freewebs.com/lakeevendim/rotkengrish.htm

These are not as good as the ones before, but some are great!!

Naz 08-13-2005 07:19 PM

Bêthberry 08-14-2005 04:32 AM

Curse you, Wing Baron!

The problem with these is that they put at risk any of us who use business chairs. I'm having to hold onto the desk to stop my chair from rolling across the room as I laugh. :p ;) :D

REB was never this funny.
