Funny / Backstroke of the West

Go To

Short answer: Just the entire thing. This bootleg takes one of the darkest Star Wars films created and turns it into an incomprehensible mess of laughably terrible translations, complete with actual voice acting and non-sequiturs that have absolutely nothing to do with the original dialogue.

Long answer:


  • You know you're in for something special from the very beginning, when the Star Wars logo fills up the screen and it gets subtitled as "Star war."
  • "Game time started!"
  • "He is in my behind!"
  • "Stop the bottom, stop the bottom, R2."
  • Sith Lords get referred to as "big" frequently. Speaker D suggests merely being careful.
    Speaker D: You two careful, he is a big.
    Ratio Tile: Mr. speaker, we are for the big.
  • "You make out quite good."
  • Ratio Tile's depraved swearing:
    • "Do you fuck on I?"
    • "R2, do you is fucking?"
    • "They want to know him at fuck"
    • "This...is what who fuck"
  • Almost every one of Space General's lines.
    • "I should really feeds you all dog!"note 
    • "Smelly boy!"
    • "BATTER TO DEATH THEM!"
      • Repeated three times in a row, no less.
    • "SECTION RATIO GENERAL!"
    • "Let old man come to dealt with this Hopeless!"
  • Speaker D solemnly informs Text How Big of Space General's plan: "He is to splits up the doctrine alliance leads."
  • "Mr. Speaker we can never compromise to black." —Text How Big, a black Hopeless Situation elder to Speaker D.note 
  • Vanquish Is talking about Allah Gold's problems in a counselling session:
    "Pregnancy? Pregnancy."
  • "Apparently I depraved." Especially in the baffled tone of voice that Ratio Tile's voice actor uses to casually toss off the line before changing subjects in the dub.
  • Not even classic Star Wars catchphrases such as "may the Force be with you" are safe from being bastardized.
    Allah Gold: Ratio Tile, the Wish Power are together with you.
    Ratio Tile: Saw again, my friend. The Wish Power are together with you at.
  • The D's description of the Dark.
    The D: Allah Gold, if a person wants to comprehend, that he must the square who study it the square, but only a little bit much more than only concerning. If you like to be a leads more astutely, that you must accept this more great power. But want the caution Hopeless Situation, Allah Gold, you only ask for help me then can become the...the knowledge of the dark of the study Hopeless, in the fire of water. (twisted little grin)
    Allah Gold: You say what?
    • Allah Gold shouting the D is the "Governor of this city!" and igniting his lightsaber after he hears the nonsense about the Dark.
  • As he confronts Space General and his robot army, Ratio Tile shows his Mr. Vice Guy character by believing the best in others, only to be greeted with menacing arms.
    Ratio Tile: (Boldly jumps down) "Everybody is good."
  • "Looking me am a civilization person." Said by Ratio Tile after killing Space General.
  • After witnessing the death of Text How Big, Allah Gold utters "I did what?" in such a flustered tone that it completely annihilates an already partially destroyed scene.
    • Just before then, you have Speaker D, in his Drunk with Power glory, proclaim that he would GET TO SAY WITH YOU THAT PART FOREVER!
  • The way The D's voice actor delivers "Good of good" is arguably hammier than McDiarmid's original line.
  • There is just something incredibly funny about the fact that all Republic Troopseses, with ZERO hesitation, outright comply to the command of killing off the Hopeless Situation Warriors since there is no Order 66 here.
    D The Superior: Section Commanding Officer. Time is up. That Hopeless Situation killing off just now.
    Commanding Officer: (without hesitation) Yes, Host.
  • Senator yelling "run!" to the young Hopeless Situation Warrior who was already shot dead.
  • Blow The Skin muttering that Allah Gold and The Plum Of "Kiss too loudly". A nice moment of levity after the Hopeless Situation Warriors are slaughtered and everything is turning black.
  • Allah Gold murdering the younglings has a very... interesting side effect:
    Speaker D: You are already at full cock now. Spread all over the place the Empire.
  • During Allah Gold and Ratio Tile's confrontation, the translation swaps their lines at one point. Allah Gold hams it up, making him sound hilariously childish.
    Allah Gold: I give my new empire. Bring the peace, freedom, justice, with safety.Original
    Ratio Tile: Letting me killing your and —Original
    Allah Gold: Is not your new empire!Original
  • Ratio's response to Allah Gold's claim that heroes are evil to him: "Friend, you are crazy!"
  • This classic exchange.
    Ratio Tile: Everything ends, The Peaceful Is Willing To! The geography that I stands compares you superior!
    Allah Gold: You underrated my ability!
    Ratio Tile: Is.
  • D The Superior's tone when he finds Allah Gold/The Peaceful Is Willing To burnt to a crisp: it goes from relieved and triumphant to rather deadpan and dismayed.
    "He returns!...Incredibly on the hoof.
  • After The West Emperor encounters an injured Allah Gold, he tells the Shock Troopseses to "Grasp the person right away." They reply their usual "Is, follow instructions!", but then just scamper away without doing anything.
  • The (in)famous "DO NOT WANT" scene.
  • There now exists a "What Character From Backstroke Of The West Are You?" test. The answers are about as hilarious as you would expect. Link however is sadly broken.

    You got: Allah Gold
    You’re a hopeless situation warrior struggling with the Presbyterian Church. Often confused by your own actions you’re just looking for someone to help you find your way. Your friends would describe you as disloyal and shady as fuck.

    You got: The D
    Cunning, manipulative, terrible skin. You don't have many close friends and people struggle between being suspicious of you and trusting you completely for no reason whatsoever. The more evil you get the more sexual you become.

    You got: Reaching The West Of Reaches
    Daddy issues and insecurities about your height and the fact that you're bald now you're prone to sudden outbursts and getting flayed alive. Your fashion sense and the magical grip of your right hand (yum?) can get you through just about anything though.

    You got: The Plum Of
    When people look at you they think "we can't explain why she quick dead". Prone to problem pregnancies, crying, and getting straight up choked. You've been having a rough time lately. Maybe lie down and relax with some flowers surrounded by loved ones.

  • Backstroke of the West - The Novelization. An incomplete fanfiction Both its very existence and the fact that it's rated T because of Ratio Tile's swearing.
