This is killing me!!

Not to be over dramatic or anything.

There's a very famous mistranslation of some line in a movie. It's been made into a meme and I've used it myself loads of times. I think it's just a hilarious grammatical error or something like that. But, I can't remember what it is.

It's making my brain itch and there's no work being done until I find this quote. Can anybody help me out on this and I'll write you poem or whatever.

You said movie though, wasn't that from a game?

Canis Lupus

That was from a badly translated game.

YellowFeather

Sorry - I thought it was a movie. Sure, I didn't even know what it was - let alone where it was from!

On behalf of my boss and I, cheers for everyone's help on this. Topper, you can have a poem if you want (not sure if you do in fairness). Just pick a topic. That should kill another hour or so of Monday morning.

More that I was committedly distracted until I got the answer. Little does he know I now have to concentrate on a poem. Good topic - I have no idea where I'm going to go with this. Give me an hour or so and I'll see what I come up with (in between work of course).

At the end of Star Wars Ep3 when Vader says "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" it was translated to Chinese and back to English as "DO NOT WANT!"

Ok - here goes.

Zombie Pandas

The poor panda species is growing extinct.
Said Attenborough to the hunter, and slowly he winked.
This is blamed on the huntsmen; the lack of bamboo.
But both you and I know that this is not true.

For a sinister hybrid is walking these plains.
And it's stalking its cousins to feast on their brains.
They walk with a zombie-like look on their faces.
And their black and their white parts have both exchanged places.

You know what I'm saying; it's the zombie pandas.
And although they're quite fearsome, there's nothing as grand as.
This slightly decaying magnificent beast.
As it lumbers along towards its next cranial feast.

So when you're complaining of pandas depleting.
Spare a thought for these creatures who need to keep eating.
Their culinary taste may appear a bit strange.
But to them it's the best of the M&S range.

But it's not all bad news - there's some joy to this story.
Before it gets filed in the sad category.
As whenever a panda's dispatched in this way.
It comes back as a zombie to convert its next prey.

I thought of this meme

but he actually says this

it just really annoys me :L

Plazaman

And here's me thinking nothing will rhyme with Panda...... well Granda obviously but he'd be the first to be eaten in the attack.

Try rhyming with "zombie". I did briefly consider Abercrombie, but there's no way that brand is getting into my poem.

So wheres this poem as a word of thanks to the guy that sussed it out?

Disappointed now.. I like a good read!

Yellowfeather,
Dont accept anything less than a full poem apology
Without which this smacks of a lame humble plea,
For his sparkling effort, I'd buy the book,
But his clever post was not worth your closer look,
Bard up Nemeses and boards up a rhyme
So Yellowfeather can forgive your heinous crime.

Correction, do you know what Nemeses means?

Edit - Thought it was a metal song but looks like I've been spelling the title incorrectly all these years...

No need to complicate matters, the easy solution is to just watch any of those videos twice.

Topper Harley

By the way, I just have to say that I think that Zombie Pandas poem is the best poem ever. Not that I'd be a connoisseur or anything but I doubt that I'm alone on this. And regardless, my opinion on all matters is the most important one to me.

I've been living a lie with my username.

Both videos make a very valid point
