Another good one is in Back to the Future, Part 2. Michael J. Fox is looking right at the camera and says, "Holy ****!" which turns into "Holy (Geez!)"

"We don't know where Hayes played last year, but I'm sure he did a hell of a job."

And this may be blasphemy to say, but the last time I watched Major League II, I remember Uecker being even funnier than he was in the original. Haven't committed the lines to memory, but if I remember right, there's one scene where he's completely sloshed and passes out in front of the mic.

Not blasphemy at all.

There's a line where Uecker's calling the game and the Indians get into a brawl — with each other.

At one point, one of the players starts pounding Rick Vaughn, and Uecker says something to the effect of, "Well, the whole league's been hitting him this season."

I think Uecker had better lines in Major League II... can't recall off the top of my head, but he also does a hilarious riff on the naming of Vaughn's pitches after he gives up yet another homer...

Something like... Maybe that was the ham-and-egger; or the out-of-state(er)

"Good news fans, the Indians are showing signs of life for the first time in weeks. As a matter of fact they appear to be beating the crap out of each other. It looks like Willie Hayes is trying to hit Rick Vaughn, and why not, everyone else in the league does. Hayes swings and misses. I don't know Monte, it looks like Vaughn is carrying his left a little low. This could hurt him in the later rounds."

My favorite dub came when I made the mistake of watching the Big Lebowski on WGN or some such station.

"This is what happens Larry! This is what happens when you FIND A STRANGER IN THE ALPS!!!"

Probably why I've stayed out of Bavaria.

Yep, that's the all-time champion TV edit. Nothing could ever come close. What could finding a stranger in the Alps possibly mean or have anything to do with anything?

No love for Scarface's "This city is like a great big chicken just waiting to get plucked"?

I forgot about that one.

In Do The Right Thing, Mother****er turns into Mickey Fickey, or however you spell it.

Or in the first Back to the Future, where Doc tells Marty, "When this baby hits 88 miles per hour, you're going to see some serious stuff (instead of ****).

Lloyd's voice inflection is also different when he says the 'stuff' line instead of '****'.

No more callers.

We have a winner.

Two more for the gallery from Major League II.

"It's a high drive to right and unless that's Shaquille O'Neal in left, that baby's outta here"

"Cerrano's gonna need a rocket up his ass to catch this one."
 
Try watching Scarface on TNT.

You've never seen so many frickings, hecks, or shoots in your life.

They say (but I couldn't verify) that the popularity of "freaking" as a euphemism for "****ing" can be traced back to the debut of "Slap Shot" on broadcast television in 1982.
