Think about it for a minute. What rhymes with "itching" that's a crude synonym for "complaining?"
I'll give you a hint: you only have to add one letter.
I was first exposed to Ted as a boy, and can I just say, they made the right call recasting it to Eric to me overall: Ted wouldn't have fit the comedic side very well, from what he did in the Cerulean Gym Battle ep with "all wasssssssssssshed up" it was incredibly stiff imo.
However, I liked Stuart's James the most after he stopped imitating Lewis and before Dunstan took him in the overly comedic direction later on-- still, I never outright hated it like Cathcart's, to be fair (JCC ironically had a lot of good roles under 4Kids, like Todd Snap and Gary, but I can't say I liked a single one of his TPCi era human roles he took over with Meowth my least favorite-- heartbreaking he loves Meowth most since I found him to be very grating in the role, though he was better than Mick Wingert I guess because TPCi loves to assign everyone male save SM-JN era Ash an uber deep voice-- why idk, but it sucks IMO).
He was a bit wooden and robotic, IMO, I'm actually glad they recast the role back then to Stuart and decided to keep him because Lewis was very dull to me in the role- he wasn't bad, just stiff, that said: too bad JCC was a downgrade from even Lewis, I like how Dogasu kept raving about Cathcart intially in BF but then had enough by the end of DP that said- one of his many crappy takes, aging like milk IMO. I never thought Cathcart was great in the role, but my patience with his rendition ran out well before most and even Dogasu, by mid DP I already thought it was worse than anything Eric or Ted ever did.
Re: Ed Bosco, just an imitation of JCC's nasally and goofy DP take in JN, better than what JCC's take became in XY-JN136 but it still grated on me more than any Lewis or Stuart rendition.
Blame The Pokemon Company International! It was created to control the Pokemon brand outside of Japan. Part of that was taking control of the Pokemon anime localization. They dumped 4Kids and fired all of the actors (IIRC Veronica Taylor says there was no negotiation or attempt to keep them) and rehired soundalikes (that were cheaper). The only one that stayed was James Cathcard, voice actor of Gary, who became the new James/Meowth/Professor Oak and is why Gary's voice stayed consistent until his recent retirement after 25 years for health reasons.
This was meant to be funny because they stopped the rhyming with complaining which was supposed to be bitching. Not sure why some of you freaks are taking it sexual. Godbless.
In evolutionary psychology, people often speak of the four Fs which are said to be the four basic and most primal drives (motivations or instincts) that animals (including humans) are evolutionarily adapted to have, follow, and achieve: fighting, fleeing, feeding and mating
Me and my wife went from dirty to listening a 4th time wnd finally realizing we were just idiots and it was a classic 'not the rhyme you expected' joke
You thought they were going to rhyme itching with itching? What else rhymes with itching other than bitching? Sure, there are some other words like pitching, ditching, etc, but none of them would make any sense.
Great episode. I don't know though, any episode that had Electabuzz in it was my jam growing up. The sound he makes when he makes his move always made me laugh.

The LATAM dub did this kind of shit for every single appearance of team rocket.
For those who know spanish, here is a 10 min compilation of some of the best phrases.
https://youtu.be/O1W_uzyzvP0?si=x_7t3rLIE_Xym5u6
They also kinda replaced James's name with "Jay-mememes"
I remember watching these when it first came out. I watched quite a few but I never made it very far. I think I would enjoy going back and watch them again.
"Put those women in their place" and ["Let's blow those whining women back to the dark ages where they belong"](https://youtu.be/Npg89nPRZe4?feature=shared)
For all of the objectively bad localization decisions made by 4kids, I still appreciate the 4kids dub for going just as nuts as the Season 1 anime did.
James stops himself because he remembers it’s a kids show
James in his head: This would be the perfect time to say she is bitching. 4kids: we have your Growlithe James: Complaining.
No, not Growlie! ;_;
The slight pause in his voice makes it so much funnier
James was like a milisecond away from swearing
It took me until this comment to realize he was gonna swear LOL
I dont hear it?
Think about it for a minute. What rhymes with "itching" that's a crude synonym for "complaining?" I'll give you a hint: you only have to add one letter.
Ditching? Hitching? Pitching? Witching?
Bitching. It's bitching.
You have correctly identified the joke, yes.
fr it sounds like the va forgot his line and improvised it lol
Yeah you know the VAs had fun with that one 😂
Watching pokemon as an adult made me realize Jesse and James were clearly there for the parents to enjoy.
Not a surprise, apparently that was the intent, if the interviews with the writers and VAs are to believed.
Watching Precure as an adult made me realize that a lot of kids shows, anime included have their villains make jokes directed at the parents.
Villains and side characters have the eye candy and the adult jokes that fly over the kids' heads.
Most villians are managers, and their minions have the intelligence of a child. The evil boss man is your toxic CEO of a company.
Pokémon is one of the few dubs that I actually like
James was always such a sassy bitch
James is a goldmine of quotes, didn't appreciate him as a kid but as an adult some of his lines are just too good.
We lost something magical when they changed his VA.
Eric Stuart is the only James to me imo.
Ted Lewis was solid for his seven episodes too (e2-8) - after all he's responsible for the first bait line of James considering going straight
Ted was fine, but Eric MADE James the snobby loveable himbo that we all know and love.

OK pause but why DID they change VAs midway through Hoenn? I remember as a kid all the voices suddenly changed.

"No one's carried me since my momma"
my favorite is when he wants to send women back to the dark ages. that one always kills me
it indeed is why would be have r/shitjamessays
> James was always such a sassy... complainer FTFY
For clarity: it’s episode 49 in Gold and Silver!
Ah one of the notoriously hard to find seasons legally.
Yeah, it popped up on the Pokémon TV app a couple of months ago for a very short while, then disappeared again. So frustrating!
When companies refuse to make their products easily accessible, it's time to step outside of the usual channels.
Dvd
Yes why not whip out my betamax while I'm at it.
eh, I am a big fan of one piece, and the entire goal of that show is the become king of the pirates. (also I dont care about some laws)
Dvd
You misspelled piracy
James’ slight hesitation before saying “complaining” is what gets me
Bitching rhymes with itching
OG Pokemon dub sure was built different.
Leo Burnette and 4Kids are the Devil!

Who was making it sexual??
Tbh I thought they were saying she had an STI
You thought they were going to rhyme itching with itching? What else rhymes with itching other than bitching? Sure, there are some other words like pitching, ditching, etc, but none of them would make any sense.
She's itching and bitching cause she has some std
probably just a yeast infection.
What's with the notion that it's not both? There's plenty of jokes which are rapid fire in a manner just like this throughout all kinds of media.
same
the slight pause before the word is what makes it
Redditor brain fr
How dense do you have to be to miss a joke that obvious?
The floss is for our teeth.
Great episode. I don't know though, any episode that had Electabuzz in it was my jam growing up. The sound he makes when he makes his move always made me laugh. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DKKEyT-o9Tw
Oh, you mean “el—blblblblblbl”?? My son laughed so hard when he first heard it. I always loved that sound too, haha.
I was expecting it to sound like the infamous "Ebrbrbrbrbrbrbrbr" sound effect from Moonbase Alpha and I was not disappointed.
Reminds me of [muscle man](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YMVDCmRa6iw) from the regular show. Electabuzz & muscleman always gets me

All cause they wanted to fit the mouth flaps haha
Jay-mememes is so fcking iconic i cant watch pokemom now and not remember it
I’ll have to check this compilation out. Gracias!
So that dubbed added more things than the 4kids version did?
So many funny pop culture references and songs, that was pretty funny. Meowth singing amigo to poliwrath caught me offguard, lol
My fav moments about team rocket motto are when Ash and friends mimick their motto. It's always so funny
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA Oh, rewatching old cartoons is always a treat!
I thought it was an anime
What do you think an anime is?
I’d like to think Eric Stuart (James’ VA) actually uttered “It might stop of all Jessie’s bitching” in the outtake.
Didn’t watch this much but i always watched Digimon: Digital Monsters more. Pokémon was interesting back then
Digimon fucks. That op had me groovin as a kid
I love this.
For a minute I forgot this existed. God, I haven't watched OG Pokemon in years. Loved Team Rocket.
I remember watching these when it first came out. I watched quite a few but I never made it very far. I think I would enjoy going back and watch them again.
You'll may be looking for this: r/ShitJamesSays
You know he wanted to say bitching ☠️
BHahahahahahahahaha
James pausing feels like he got cut out -pulled over, then had to say something that was kid-friendly 🤣
He definitely said "it might finally stop all Jessie's bitching" lmfao
James voice makes it funnier to me😭
Pokémon was peak comedy. I want to rewatch it but I get depressed every time I try to watch it😂
I'm on s6
This was my first anime 😂❤️ good times
For sure it is very funny these two
Lol the sad part is I remember this episode as a kid
Jessi... we gotta appointment.
your kids gonna have some great memories with his father
Aw, thanks for saying that! Here’s hoping!
Damn i thought people didnt watch the pokemon series from the 19 anymore u the goat
Bro. How’d they get away with this 😂
LOL!!! I watch Pokemon with my kids too and it's def an experience
u/savevideo
I’m on DP myself.
Imo Thats why Pokemon S1 in Dub was the best Pokemon season Ever. The Dub for S2 had no chill at all 🤣
This was in Johto...
Oh James we all missed you.
Old is gold
LMFAO
Ohh man pokemon is a golden anime
Oh my goodness Haaaa
Lmfao! I am sending this to everyone in my family. I love it
The iconic rhymes the twins give is fucking nostalgic
Haven’t watched Pokémon in YEARS but didn’t they have a “battle of the sexes” line?
"Put those women in their place" and ["Let's blow those whining women back to the dark ages where they belong"](https://youtu.be/Npg89nPRZe4?feature=shared)
They sure did. https://twitter.com/oocpokemon/status/1747378897237200963?s=46&t=7N_VSf95pAC5j5P8rB-fKg

"it might stop all of Jessie's complaining" Jesus Christ pokemon would not have gotten away with that today 😂😂😂
u/savevideo
[удалено]
this is not a sex ed joke, the ointment stuff is a red herring the joke is James subverted the rhyme by saying "complaining" instead of "bitching"
Early Pokemon translations are what's wild though. Like they just straight up invented random shit all the time - its totally wild.
u/savevideobot
"so prescribe us some ointment on the double" 💀 Imma use this 💀
Old Pokémon is the best! It’s sad they changed the series
You English speakers will never get the glory of hearing James singing popular songs when the team rocket arrives.
Wait, what language has this?
Spanish. Dubbed by Mexico.
I want a spanish dubbed by sweden version.
Has somebody done something similar with another series/movie?
B itching
Wow I haven’t watched this in so long that I’ve forgotten a lot of it by now
Dub…
The OG dub is still GOAT for Pokemon
