personally "Sticky Fingers" into "Zipper Man" and "Kiss" into "Smack" will always be extremely funny and stupid to me

Part of me suffers when I read "Moody Jazz", the other one laughs at how silly it is.
"Lil' Bomber" will always be the most stupid change tho.

“Kiss” to “Smack”. I know it’s a reference to the band Kiss, but isn’t Kiss a generic enough term and in the context of the anime being used in completely different context.

Unfortunately the anime changed it to “limp viscut” although I wish they kept it as “flaccid pancake” because it would’ve been hilarious to hear voice actors try to say with all seriousness. Controversial opinion, but I actually like the name changes, because they’re funny, and it makes JoJo more bizarre to know their original names.

Metroid Prime 2: Reverb
Amazon Reverb
Earth to Reverb
@reverb off

Yeah, sure, it's a Pink Floyd reference, but for one thing, anything they did before Dark Side is inconsequential (though I do like One of These Days) and I'm shocked Crunchyroll even caught that, and for another thing, I guarantee you there's a million songs called Reverb out there.

Also, Cool Ice.

@StarCaliburn
That is precisely the reason I don't believe the copyright excuse. It is more likely the translators changed the names for the sake of being silly, as they have been known to do with other anime.
