There are some great lines in Sam & Max Hit the Road. Here's one from memory (might not be wholly accurate, but you'll get the idea):

Sam (dog) - staring out of the window at some fish falling from the sky. "Now there's something you don't see every day".

Max (Rabbity Thing). "What do you mean? We live underneath a fish restaurant - we see it all the time".

Sam. "Yeah, but this is halibut".

Just about anything from the Monkey Island games or the Max Payne games (gotta love overdone noir-style metaphors). ;)

Wow - and it all becomes clear (that's the second time I've said that tonight).

Thanks for the link.

bad translation...

[Coldfiregod]

Yep bad translation. There for we got "All your base are belong to us". I guess we shouldn't expect much when Coca-Cola had their slogan translated into chinese and it read "Will Bring your ancestors back from the dead"


Got to love low budget stuff... ;)

The marines in Starcraft were great. They'd quote from Aliens a lot.

I always liked the wingman's call from Falcon3 after gunning down MiG: "Watch the canopy when you punch out, Jack!"

Well, this what I recall about Coca-Cola in China...unfortunately, they are not true! bummer! but they make for great stories.

from the snopes site

Claim: Coca-Cola's initial transliteration of their name into Chinese produced a rendering whose meaning was "bite the wax tadpole."

Status: Not quite.

Origins: When Coca-Cola first entered the Chinese market in 1928, they had no official representation of their name in Mandarin. They needed to find four Chinese characters whose pronunciations approximated the sounds "ko-ka-ko-la" without producing a

nonsensical or adverse meaning when strung together as a written phrase. (Written Chinese employs about 40,000 different characters, of which about 200 are pronounced with sounds that could be used in forming the name "ko-ka-ko-la.") While Coca-Cola was searching for a satisfactory combination of symbols to represent their name, Chinese shopkeepers created signs that combined characters whose pronunciations formed the string "ko-ka-ko-la," but they did so with no regard for the meanings of the written phrases they formed in doing so. The character for wax, pronounced "la," was used in many of these signs, resulting in strings that sounded like "ko-ka-ko-la" when pronounced but conveyed nonsensical meanings such as "female horse fastened with wax," "wax-flattened mare," or "bite the wax tadpole" when read.

Coca-Cola had to avoid using many of the 200 symbols available for forming "ko-ka-ko-la" because of their meanings, including all of the characters pronounced "la." They compromised by opting for the character lê, meaning "joy," and approximately pronounced as "ler." The transliteration of the name 'Coca-Cola' they finally settled on used the following characters:

This representation literally translated as "to allow the mouth to be able to rejoice," but it acceptably represented the concept of "something palatable from which one receives pleasure." It was the real thing, with no wax tadpoles or female horses, and Coca-Cola registered it as its Chinese trademark in 1928.

Both this advertising tale and the apocryphal story about the Chevy Nova's sales failure in Spanish-speaking countries are often cited as examples of the hubris of American corporations who fail to take cultural differences (specifically language use) into account when marketing their products in foreign countries. Both examples are untrue, and in this case the claim is especially egregious, as few companies can match Coca-Cola's amazing history of successfully adapting their product and marketing techniques to meet the demands of a wide variety of global markets.

What about the taunt in MOHAA

" I've seen French School girls shoot better than that!!"

I didn't even know there were taunts in MOHAA, that's a good one...
