"To denounce the evils of a string bikini..." ???

[Pewter City Geodude]

I already posted this in the YTV thread, but I thought I'd make another thread to single this quote out since it's so weird/funny. In today's episode that YTV aired up here in Canada, "Lapras of Luxury", TR's motto went like this:

Jessie: Our research warns: Prepare for trouble!
James: Our data's conclusive, so make it double!
Jessie: To protect the world from devastation!
James: To unite all peoples within our nation!
(background switches to various shots of J&J in swimsuits, windsurfing, etc.)
Jessie: To denounce the evils of a string bikini...
James: ...and extend our reach a teeny weeny!
Jessie: Jessie!
James: James!
Jessie: Team Rocket surfs the wind at the speed of light!
James: Surrender now and shoot the curl or prepare to fight!
Meowth: Meowth, dat's right!

What's up with the "string bikini" bit? :o :P

[dr._samurai]

no clue. seems very random. but jessie and james are always kind of random. that is quite strange though. im puzzled =P

[Pewter City Geodude]

It was hilarious! Can't wait till you guys see it. :D

[Anti-R*cketship]

Argh! That line made me turn around in the hope of... well, JESSE mentioned a STRING BIKINI... but I suppose I'll have to leave that to fanartists...

Lousy misleading dialogue...

[Pewter City Geodude]

Yeah, funny how she wasn't actually *wearing* a string bikini, just talking about one...James' bikini in Beauty and The Beach was much more skimpy than what Jessie had on here.

[The Rusted One]

I don't know the context of the line, or following ones - and unless someone's said it already, I'd be willing to speculate it has something to do with surfing. But that's about as far as it goes...

[Hanada Tattsu]

ROFLMAO!

That is probably the stupidest yet most hilarious version of the Team Rocket motto I have ever heard in the whole duration of the show, even Advance!

I wanted to see Jessie in a string bikini though, like in Beauty and the Beach. :yes:

[Volbachutwotlepuff]

lol
thats funny... To denounce the evils of a string bikini...


man I'm really starting to worry about James... ...and extend our reach a teeny weeny!
man Teeny Weeny just sounds wrong... expecially with all the cross dressing he does... :yes:

[Entropy]

James hasn't crossdressed for some time now...

Yeah, but the times he has crossdressed make a lasting impression on all of us. It's sad...

[The Rusted One]

There's quite a prominent theory as to WHY he crossdresses, you know.

I know, I'm just saying that it's scared us all.

Ok...that part is the part that freaks me out the most,lol

I bet it will be funny though :D

lol..even if its a bit on the...weird side :P

[Hanada Tattsu]

It would be funny if James really wore another body suit while saying the motto.

If that happened though, the whole scene would get cut.

[Nikku-San]

LOL! Well, James sure isn't very self confident. *snickers*

[Pewter City Geodude]

What makes you say that?

[pokefreak04]

Wait a sec......Evils of a string bikini?!?!? What evil??

Anyway, that sounds pretty funny. Is it an old episode? If it is, I missed it :(

[Pewter City Geodude]

As I said already, it's aired in Canada but has yet to air in the States.

Yeah, I think it's one of the Blackthorn Gym Battle episodes.

It's only aired in Japan and Canada, ther rest of the world has yet to see it.

Lol, the people at 4Kids must have a fun time coming up with all these variations of the motto. And who says James wants to crossdress? Remember on, I think, the Misty Mermaid, after J&J do their motto, James says, "And next time, we steal men's clothes!" (Yes, I do realize that that's probaby what they said in the dub, and not in the Japanese version) Anyway, maybe it's just some twisted idea that Jessie has.;)

[Pewter City Geodude]

Yep, and there's always the famous:

Jessie: To protect the world from scratching and itching!
James: To finally stop all of Jessie's...complaining!

:P

LOL How could I forget that one!? :D :D

[Hanada Tattsu]

Thanks for clearing that up, Geodude.

TR's mottos are funny, but many of them are dub created.

Yes that's only what they said in the dub, and furthermore the episode "Flower Power" (Johto Journeys episode 6) had James in the exact same outfit dancing around like he was BORN to wear it.

Hey, at least the dubbers tried to make James seem heterosexual in the dub, but he's the exact opposite in the original, lol.
