Since Hasbro is only releasing GI Joe in English (again and again and again), I was wondering if any of you have those episodes in French (VHS or DVD). I would like to see those again.
PM me!

That`s hilarious "Luc et Zorro". Hey Martin did you original watch GI Joe in french as a kid?Yes I did. Saturday morning at TVA in French and Monday - Friday in English at channel 22 (whatever is that channel now) :)
But, I have no souvenirs about them calling each other Luc, l'Ombragueux, Zorro, ... That is why I would like to see those again.

I remember that in one of the series Snake Eyes was even called "Oeil de Serpent" and then Zorro. But I can't seem to place when this occurred.
Channel 22 was Burlington's TV22....and I remember arriving in time from school to catch it at 4h30pm.
And yeah, I actually do remember Duke beeing called "Luc" in TRAH. Funny but true fact.

Great...I can't understand my friends from the country to the south of me and now I can't understand my friends from the north either. Anybody wanna translate so I can get in on the joke?

This is hilarious :lol: Hey Language should never be a cultural barrier when it comes to understanding a practical joke, that you're right!
Well, if I were to translate literally word per word what it meant, it wouldn't be that funny, it would just sound like bad engrish.
"Doit-faire-D?r" would translate to "Must-Do-Hard", which sounds hu-hmmmm.... :-[ so it clearly doesn't mean at all the same thing as in french.
But in french, the expression "faire-D?r" is the equivalent of "to-look-akward"....
So following this logic, the french translation of "Got-to-get-tough-Yo-Joe!" would be "'Must-look-akward-ya-hoo!"
And there you have it. Instant french to english translation crash course of the first opening line of DIC's GI JOE in two minutes...

Hahaha priceless.
I don't remember the DIC cartoon in french.
I don't even remember SE being called anything else but Zorro and Cagoulard.
Duke being called Luc feels weird. Hello my name is Conrad but my codename is Luc.
Evrybody on the team has a badass codename except me...
Anybody else remember Stalker being called Renard (fox) in the original mini-series.
How about Flint who was called Pro

In french or in english? General Hawk in both Sunbow's and DIC's was voiced in english by the late Ed Gilbert...who happened to have passed away ten years ago.... :'( Yo...joe...

Not entirely related, but I have a translated Quebec release of Marvel's Transformers #4, and it features a full-page ad with a bunch of Joes, all of whom have their silly translated names. I don't have a scanner, but if you're interested, I'll type up the list for you.
Heck yeah I am interested!

Yeah Snakes, I'm with Raptor! I want to see that list.
I'd like to remember who "L'?claireur" is. Or even "D?traqu?", if he exists. :o

Wow. Some of these are really bad. Not sure who ?claireur and D?traqu? are, but ?claireur can mean scout. Though I don't remember Joes who ran around with baseball bats yelling 'Bonk!' As for D?traqu?, maybe Stalker? I'm really not sure.

Per instance, take 87's Outback name in french: "Salvo". Nobody from Hasbro Canada really expected at that time that a character name of the same name in english would be later released in the 90's...with the name Salvo (both in english and french).
Could Quick Kick have suffered a similar fate, that is, if he was called "Pieds d'?clair" in the french cartoon?

Dont know if any of you remember wayching the Dic episodes in french but instead of "Got to get tough - Yo-Joe" they would say "Doit faire D?r - Ya-hou", weird i know but i remember it as if it was yesterday. Any other odities you guys recall?
In fact it was ``Ca prends des durs... Yo Joe!`` I have some french episodes on tapes but the quality is very bad!

Hey thanks for that input! So you still have the DIC episodes in french? I know that I have the funniest french dubbing of Transformers. It's part 2 of the return of Optimus Prime (1986-87). If you used to watch the Smurfs in french, and do voice overs the TF show, that's the entire french translation
!So it's really "Ça prend des durs...Yo-Joe!" I guess that memory is failing on me again...getting old.
Translated to very simple english, I guess it's safe to say it means "It takes Studs...Yo-Joe!" 'Nuf said.
