I was passing through YouTube casually and came across this strange little video, showing James apparently expressing his true feelings for Leo Bennett and 4Kids. Leo Bennett was apparently an advertising director who had an affinity with slipping in little backwards messages in his adverts.

Bonus points for who can guess when it says "I never knew Leo was with Satan".
 
It's Leo Burnett.

That video's also been circulating for quite some time.

The girl says it, just after the clip is reversed?

Yeah, I saw this a while ago, but it's still awesome.

Jessie also says something that sounds like "We're speaking backward. You know this it highly your better wish!"

XDDDD Oh God, you guys HAVE to see the Pokérap backwards! *dies*

Trust me, there's nothing in the PokeRap. All those who wish to urinate in the wind and see if they can guess what it says.

Ha, I've always loved the Brittany Spears one. It's hilarious.

I never understood the Pokérap thing, though. I don't hear it at all. :l

But yes, an "lol" to the backwords clip, even if it is pretty old. ;P
 
I still like this, I don't see why we shouldn't have a thread for these things.

I'm sure there are other hidden messages, too, in the Pokémon dub.
 
Whoa... that does sound JUST like what he says...

But when the clip is played forward/regular, you can tell that the "mumbling" is something played backwards, because it's choppy.

So this is seriously the real clip? Dang... and they went through the trouble to get Eric Stuart to record that and then reverse it? xD

But who is this Leo guy? But if Eric thinks 4Kids is the devil... well there ya go SOVA members! =D

EDIT: Oh, nevermind about "who is..." I shoulda just read your first post more clearly =p
 
Just pointing out that this was recorded at TAJ Studios before 4Kids took full control of the show.
 
No, becasue they didn't take full control of it until Season 6, this episode was Season 3.
 
To be exact, this episode was The Whistle Stop, which was most likely dubbed in the fall of 2000.

Makes you wonder if there are any other episodes out there where something like this happened.
 
Another thing I noticed was Meowth said "paws up" towards the end of the reverse clip.
 
I hear a lot of stuff in the backwards stuff, just random warblings like "shniki". I hear that a lot. I know this sounds predictable, and typecast of a backwards recording, but I hear "satan" quite a lot also. Still, you can make anything out of anything.

I find it funny, but the PokéRap had me cracking up so badly that I had to rewind it several times to see what I missed while laughing! XDDD

HEEE~
