I havenāt posted a new scene of the German dub in ages. š
But here we go again.
Some already know this part of the scene from my post here but how could I not include it in my German vs English dub comparison?
For me this is -hands down- the best vocally scene of Quackerjack in the German dub. Mostly because that pitch drop comes so unexpected that even when I'd rewatched it my reaction was kinda like this:
Seriously, the German dub doesnāt fuck around in Quackerjackās debut episode to show that this guy is nuts and ready to kill.
I also love how they used Knalltüte for doofus. Knalltüte describes a small bag out of paper or plastic which is blown up and ready to get slapped for a good bang. This could be a small innuendo on what Quackerjack would love to do to Whiffleboy but Iām not sure if itās intentional since itās also a low-key insult which is more appropiate for a childrenās cartoon. Itās quite similar to doofus or goofball and also often used to jokingly insult friends who behave silly. But of course you can also use it when you are annoyed by someoneās behaviour.
