Here's an Excel Saga one that I saw on a website. In episode 3, Excel is captured by the militant rebels, and is being interrogated in Engrish. The soldier wants to ask, "What is your purpose?" but it comes out like "What is a porpoise?" Then in the dub, when Excel is being questioned in clean English, he asks "What is your mission?" and she answers "A big fish!" in response to the Engrish question from the original version.

I was looking through an anime book, and I can't remember if it was Big O or Gundam, but it was something with a robot!!, and it showed all of the gear the robot had. They showed the landing gear, but it said "Randing Gear" instead... Which made me automatically think that Austin Powers had created that robot. ^_~

I always thought Big O was a pretty Engrishy title in the first place. I mean, come on, what does "Big O" mean . . . ?

Unless that's what it's supposed to mean for the show!

In Mazinkaiser, the character Boss always uses 'Engrish'. My favorite is when he flirts with these girls (really killer androids):

"Hallo. Preasu to meatu youu."

Also, something I found pretty funny in the second episode of New Cutey Honey. Danbei, Chokkei, and Honey go to the Jewel Princess' store. And instead of a 'closed' sign, the sign said 'SOLD OUT'. Just something I found abit funny.

The name 'Big O' came from an opening from some old Giant Robot show. The opening kept going 'OH!~OH!~' or something like that.

Also guys, check out this site. Not *completely* engrish, but pretty damn funny.
