      YOU FAIL!

      • Troll bait says:

        you took it!

        • Eater of n00bs says:

          Oh my!

          • JohnB says:

            Perhaps someday someone could explain this sequence for us clueless old fogeys.

            • Jennifer says:

              I guess I broke the expected mindless sequence of mimicking Engrish’s comment instructions by commenting on the content of the picture.

              “Glory! 4 Comment” called me ‘FAIL’

              I renamed myself “Troll bait” and told “G4C” that s/he took the bait.

              Lame, and childish…(must remember not to feed the Trolls).

              • JohnB says:

                Okay, thanks. I understood your maneuver (your avatar helped, as I’d have probably been utterly lost without that clue) but couldn’t figure out why the comment instructions had been appearing there. But I DO know what an n00b is. (Hey, you gotta let the fogey brag a little!)

  5. paws4thot says:

    Anyone else thinking of “The Sweeney” and “Life on Mars”?

  6. Lol, which anime did that come from?

  7. Spider says:

    Dirty… dirty… dirty policemen.

  8. Katie says:

    Given the nature of some Japanese hentai (porn) videos and series… That may not be a mistranslation…

    • Kitsunechan says:

      Actually, it is a mistranslation. O_O This scene is from the anime called Elfen Lied, and while it does have a few nude scenes, this was not one of them…

      In this scene they were trying to arrest a violent murderer, but what they found was not what they expected.

  9. AnimeJunkie says:

    Actually, that’s not a typo . . . it’s HENTAI!!!!!

    • Hebime says:

      Then its not Engrish OR English Fail.
      If the cops really want you to come out with your pants down, that’s what they are gonna say!

      It’s much more fun to think that the translator is somebody for whom English is a distant 3rd or 4th language.

    • Erin says:

      Yup, you’re right. NOT a mistranslation. Hentais… God. *shudder*

    • Kitsunechan says:

      It is a typo. This scene is from Elfen Lied, in an episode where a family is brutally slaughtered in their condominium building, and the police tried to rescue the 3 year old daughter, but met with some….rather unexpected circumstances. :3

      The series is certainly perverted, but not a hentai. >_<

  10. LaEscopeta says:

    How are you supposed to walk to get out of the building? Little shuffling baby steps? Bunny hops?

  11. Bradley says:

    Actually, this probably isn’t a wrong translation, depending on the anime. I’ve seen some weird anime, with some weird “rules”. Maybe the person they’re after has superpowers unless they’re junk is exposed?

    • Lenichee says:

      I’ve seen Elfen Lied and if this picture is from it then that is a typo. That anime contains mature content but is not hentai. Overall I would call the anime a tragedy.

      • Bradley says:

        Now that you mention it, this could in fact be Elfen Lied. I haven’t seen that in soooo long. I don’t really recall any part with a scene like this, but the animation style looks similar.

    • pamera says:

      I met a guy at a bar who TOLD me he had a magic penis. I didn’t believe him. My bad – I didn’t see if he was in this anime… next time I’ll check.

  12. Gosh says:

    Gosh, If you’re pants are down, you can’t run, this isn’t engrish.

  13. chowderl says:

    what is that from??1

    • Ovatione says:

      Isnt it from ‘Death Note’ the Japanese Animé series?

      • jameshogg says:

        I don’t think so. L was never this openly aggressive when hunting down Kira.

      • Doc says:

        Nah. It isn’t the same style and seeing as how Light’s father was the police captain, I don’t think L would have had to send a police squad to Light’s house if/when he suspected Light was Kira.

    • Kitsunechan says:

      It’s from Elfen Lied.

      Admittedly a perverted series, it is a tragic tale, and this is from the part where they explain some backstory about a family that was brutally slaughtered in their home. The police show up to apprehend the killer, but what they find….

  14. Basara says:

    One thing I’ve noted for the last 12 years is that the explosion of internet use and cheap computers is that a lot of stuff is getting fansubbed by people who understand a lot less JAPANESE AND ENGLISH (both) than they believe they do.

    Back in the pre-internet days*, and in the early slow-speed days, where fansubs were traded using mailing boxes of VHS tapes from lists of product traded by hand/BBS/early web pages, people tended to put a little more care into their product. Granted, there still were a lot of errors and Engrish (And they were using AMIGAs to sub!), but the distribution method was so slow that the first few people would see the video, send back lists of corrections, and the subber would make needed corrections, so that by the time the show’s fansubs had been out 1-2 months, the subber would have a better copy made and distributing it.

    These days, it’s fire and forget, with practically no one going back and fixing their errors, and practically forgetting an episode once thrown up on the net (because there’s 10 or more different subbers doing each thing, and many trying to do more SERIES in a week, than old-school subbers did episodes from ONE series in a month).

    *(yes, there were anime fans before then – I was a member of one club from 1989, until the club became the core of the staff for a Cincinnati anime convention in 2000)

    • DuRêve says:

      Yeah, yeah, gramps, you forgot to tell us how you had to walk uphill in the middle of a snowstorm just to get a crappily recorded VHS tape.

      Oh, wait… back in 1992, when I first started watching some anime, things weren’t so different. Damn, am I feeling old now!

      • Vila Restal says:

        **Shakes walking stick at DuReve** Watch it sonny!! I remember the war you know. In my day young people were..zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……**Wakes up Suddenly** Apple pie please. :-)

  15. forge says:

    See, this is anime. They probably wanted his pants down because his penis is a 90-foot extraterrestrial space octopus.

    • JohnB says:

      Isn’t everybody’s???

    • tea says:

      In that case I would think they’d definitely want his pants *up.*

      In any case, if this is Elfen Lied, then I believe the one they’re calling out is a young girl. They are in more danger from invisible arms than they are from penises.

      • DuRêve says:

        Wait, what if she was a mutant shemale with deathly, invisible penises??? o_O

        The worst part is that I wouldn’t be surprised if someday I happened to stumble upon some hentai with a character just like that… eew.

      • forge says:

        Hmm, okay. If it were some other unidentified hentai female I suppose the space octopus could be living up her ahem.

  16. Matrix says:

    Hentai FTW!!

  17. andrew says:

    Fanservice!

  18. Kelly says:

    i once watched Getbackers, and at one point, someone said, according to the subtitles, “You´re the Freud I left behind”… i´m still trying to figure out what in the world they were saying.

    here i think it´s clear it´s a hentai anime.

  19. poyo says:

    It is in fact, from Elfen Lied. I noticed the subtitles and thought it was odd

  20. LovePony says:

    Anyone else notice they’re all wearing white plastic gloves?

  21. Fyreferret says:

    From what I understand they actually do say that.

    1) if your pants are down, you can’t run away very quickly

    2) It is an obvious sign of giving up, so they wont shoot at you.

    Makes sense to me anyway.

  22. Fyreferret says:

    Oh and it is Elfen Lied. Not a Hentai.

  23. dr handle says:

    Strangely enough, that’s exactly what my husband said to me last night.

  24. Yukionna says:

    This is an anime called Elfen Lied. The setting is there’s some psycho murderer in that house who has decapitated all the inhabitants (and is also a little girl) and the police are supposed to be saying “Come out with your hands up” The result of the subtitles is just Japanese people who don’t know English well enough (or have watched too much Beevis and Butthead)

  25. valkyrie says:

    wasn’t this from Elfen Lied?

  26. REKKUSU says:

    The person those policmen were talking to was like a 6 year old too. AH JAPAN!

  27. baw says:

    Okay, from everyone’s comments it’s obvious this is Elfen Lied. Can someone tell me which episode this is from?

    • poyo says:

      Episode 10 I believe

    • Kitsunechan says:

      Episode nine or ten, because those are the episodes with Lucy’s past explained. :3

      I believe it’s in “Infant~Saugling” but I could be wrong. At any rate, it’s the part where Kurama’s past is revealed and the police corner a brutal killer in a home.

      When they enter, a small pink-haired girl is crying, soaked in blood. She points to the back room when the police ask her where the murderer is, but when they check and state the all’s clear, the three year old child turns her “vectors” (invisible arms that move at incredible speed) on the police. The surviving man at the balcony shoots the girl in the forehead, ending her slaughter…

  28. Syntax says:

    This is in fact Elfen Lied, though I can’t remember the episode.
    I will have to look in to it. It is part of the flashback episodes, from when Lucy was a child and first started using her powers after meeting Kohta. At this point she was going around killing random people and living in their homes. I’ll comment again when I know the episode.

    • Syntax says:

      Or Poyo could get to it first =P

    • dawg says:

      The diclonius girl from this scene is actually not Lucy. IIRC it’s Silpelit #3, the one who infected Kurama and was ultimately killed (shot in the head by Prof Kakuzawa) before any of the main plot takes place. This is from a flashback, but it’s not Lucy’s flashback, it’s Kurama’s flashback.

      I’ve also observed these odd subtitles but my guess is it’s just an error on behalf of the fansubbers.

  29. AnOn says:

    its no mistake.. that will be a hentai

  30. Rachel says:

    I’ve seen this hentai on a porn site. A man has a blonde girl hostage and he is surrounded by the police so he’ll stop having sex with her and let her go.

    No misinterpretation or misuse of language here.

  31. Mr. USMC says:

    OBVIOUSLY SOME KIND OF HENTAI…

    • Kitsunechan says:

      No, it’s actually not a hentai. It’s from Elfen Lied.

      While it is a Mature rated series because of some nudity and a huge amount of violence, it is a terribly tragic story.

      This is from episode 9 or 10 (those are both flashback episodes, and I can never remember one from the other), where the police corner a vicious killer in a home. Upon cornering the perpetrator, they suffer some casualties and still manage to shoot her in the head…

      It’s sad that everyone finds so much humor in this, as the story behind it is so very painful. :( At any rate, it is certainly not a hentai by any means XD Just a sad mistranslation.

      • JohnB says:

        The nerve of some people, fnding humor in a cartoon, a crazy caption, or on a site called Engrish Funny!

  32. RS says:

    Wow. Reading this comment page was like listening to a broken record.

    It’s obviously hentai anime.
    No, actually it’s from Elfen Lied.
    No mistranslation here, it’s hentai.
    This is elfen lied, actually.
    Hentai!
    This is a scene from Elfen Lied.

    Well done, everyone! Good effort on reading the comments above you.

  33. Jeff says:

    Obviously this translator just finished watching Beavis & Butt-Head.

  34. LibraryJade says:

    Perhaps it’s the episode where the killer HAS got the killer octopus schlong, and if you don’t want to be shot on sight you have to come out with your pants down so the police can see your wee willie winkie…

  35. alyssa says:

    YAY ELFEN LIED!!!

  36. ormewood says:

    Isn’t this from Elfen Lied?

  37. Kami says:

    I saw this. It was on Elfen Lied. . . back when I had no idea this site existed.

  38. abigail says:

    omg they ruined the whole series of elfen lied

  39. LOOOL says:

    Is This the Bad Cop routine?

  40. Hyde says:

    Lol its from Elfen Lied.Its very bloody >:D!

  41. Roxy_Is_Ferox says:
