Eh, well I was going to make a straight bitching about bad Lupin stuff thread. But instead, let's all b***h about the same things! xd
Okay well, there could be better threads, but this guild needs SOME discussion, and I'm a bitter old teenager and couldn't figure anything less bitchy.
I don't know if post-by-post spams are aloud here. I didn't intend this to be one, but if Nani gives permission, I guess..
Least Favorite-
Series:
Series 1 Episode:
Series 2 Episode:
Series 3 Episode:
Movie:
Character:
Line(Dialog):
Escape:
Scene(in anything, about anything):
Song(Background Music/Theme Music):
Outfit(s):
I suppose you can also do a most favorite out of these.
Here's mine-
Series: Probably first. I like the later episodes a bit better, but there's still some whiny.
Series 1 Episode: The one with Fujiko having all that trauma. Annoying.
Series 2 Episode: There's a few that I don't like at all. I don't like some of the love stories (especially the Sister Angelica one and Catherine, a chick with an uncurable disease.. Plus, They were all kind of stupid, going in mindlessly without a plan and not knowing about security machines or anything).
Also the Miyazaki episodes (both), and anything unnecessarily mushy or stupid..
Also, there was this Kabuki one (Not Kooky Kabuki) that was kind of stupid, and weird.. And at the end it was just like "Let's go swimming!" "Okay!"....
Also some bug me where it's just bits. Like the episode where Goemon was captured, I think he should be the one captured, as he's the most immature and inexperienced. But when Lupin called him an idiot and hugged him, it made me think of scary fanfics. And also, why did Lupin and Jigen without hesitation touch Goemon's loin cloth(It's one of the things he left behind)? Okay that was just kind of weird.
Also, episode 91.
And Fujiko gets kidnapped too much, seriously. She's a little smarter then they make her out to be. And she only pretends sometimes, but that's a bit overdone too.
And some of the later episodes seem to repeat themselves more, and by that, I mean repeat 5 episodes ago, not 50.
Series 3 Episode: Have only seen 2.
Movie: Castle of Cagliostro, most specials
Character: The whiny girl with amnesia in episode 91.
Line(Dialog): "Please be alright" - Jigen
Escape: In Tokyo Crisis when Lupin used marbles or something (they looked like pinballs). It's just kind of unimaginative. I've said many times, Lupin could escape with a banana.
Scene(in anything, about anything): In Zantetsuken is Burning/Dragon of Doom with Kikyo running with her arms open yelling "Goemon! Goemon!"
Song(Background Music/Theme Music): All First Series music, Manhattan Joke (From the Babylon movie), Theme Song From Alcatraz Connection, Ending song from Return the Treasure, Love Squall from First Contact
Outfit(s): Uh, I think Lupin's third series is the worst outfit. I can't remember the others so well.
Feel free to add your own and b***h to your heart's content.

I guess if it gets people posting and it's about Lupin, then it should be fine.
I have a bad memory and am coughing my lungs out (needs to perfect the art of swallowing the right way), so let's see what I can come up with here...
Series: Even though I haven't seen it all I will say the second, as it had the most episodes and a bigger chance of having more bad ones. Although so far all seem to be even. I neither hate or love any.
Series 1 Episode: Probably the first episode I think, with the race car. Can't think of any others.
Series 2 Episode: Haven't seen many. There was one on AS that I watched once....rrr, can't think... *smashes head on desk* Oh, the one with the Jesus statue or something, the giant one, where they got put in jail.
Series 3 Episode: That one with the odd ending with the vultures or whatever and the x-ray box thing. Actually that just ended, like they ran out of time or something. Very odd. And the one with that prince who ran the marathon. And where they suddenly have kids. xp Although Zenigata's response in that one was pretty funny.
Movie: The Babylon one. I was lost through the whole thing.
Character: Most of the minor ones. And how Zenigata was in the Napoleon's Dictionary special. Only time I really hated him.
Line(Dialog): Can't think of one.
Escape: Any where Lupin "died".
Scene(in anything, about anything): Too many to mention or remember. sweatdrop
Song(Background Music/Theme Music): Most of first series stuff.
Outfit(s): Third series Jigen. Could they not think of colors and decided to throw darts at index cards or something? He also looked drunk in some of the episodes, which was funny. Getting back to outfits...I also don't like Lupin with white pants. And Zenigata with a green tie. mad Evil...

Series: Probably third, because it's really dumb.
Series 1 Episode: The clocktower one, and the angsty Fujiko.
Series 2 Episode: The King Tut episode, the first two parter, (the one where they combine everything into one convoluted plot. "Hey, let's have zombies, nazis, and an old girlfriend! All at once!"), when Lupin is stealing the Cinderella Stamp, and the one where Lupin is convinced he becomes evil at midnight.
Series 3 Episode: The weird crow episode, and the dolphin one. The one where they seem to be making fun of Cagliostro, as well. Little girl roping Lupin into stealing stuff..
Movie: Return of Pycal, Parts of Voyage to Danger (Zenigata's parts), parts of Harimao's Treasure (Lupin's interactions with Archer, and the Nazi man/lady), and Twilgith Gemini.
Character: Alice, from the stamp episode, Mamo (the 'real' Mamo, in any case)
Line(Dialog): Do entire FUNimation movies count?
Escape: Alcatraz Connection has a scene when Lupin (somehow) has set a a loch-ness monster-esque thing, and it doesn't die with a bazooka. Then, as they helcopter away, someone hits it in the eye causing it to deflate, and then their escape is messed up. Just very dumb. Good special, though. Oh, and the begining of Tokyo Crisis, when he goes down a manhole. Zenigata would see right through that, but he didn't. And when Jigen and Lupin escape form the toy-catcher thing in Dragon of Doom. (Wow, I'm picky...)
Scene(in anything, about anything):I think I hate all the scenes in From Russia with Love with the Rasputin guy, when he pokes people. *shudder*
Any scene with the Nazi man/lady in the Harimao as well. Lupin has some freaky bad guys.
Song(Background Music/Theme Music): I don't like the third or fourth ending to the second series, but that's because the man can't sing in English and they made him do it any way. The actual song is good, I like the remixed version. I like most of the music, though the background in third series is sorta forgettable.
Outfit(s): Live action Lupin. Lupin does not belong in a white suit, or an open necked shirt with a tattoo. Otherwise, third series. Why pink??? gonk

I forgot about the live action movie xd
It's silly, but it's true, the outfit wasn't right.
Nice answer for Line/Dialog, by the way.

I completely forgot about Return to Pycal, although that may be a good thing.
And also the third series epsiode with the skating bunny girl and the evil song. gonk I will never watch that episode ever again.
I need to watch this stuff again. Over half the stuff you guys mentions I have no idea what they are. sweatdrop Sad I'm obsessed with something I can barely remember. xD

Least Favorite-
Note: I am more of a movie buyer than a series person.
Series: I don't know
Series 1 Episode: Sister Angelica one. I know they feel the need give Jigen love ones but come on now.
Series 2 Episode: Criminal drag races. Um, what the hell?
Series 3 Episode:
Movie: I am unsure of the title of this movie it was part of the Lupin the Third : Final Heist collection. There's a scene in the very start where Jigen, Lupin and Goemon are washed up on shore and Goemon feels the need to give CPR to Jigen. All these horrible fanfics came to mind and I never been able to watch the whole movie. I think it was "The Columbus Files" ...
Character: Nazi guy/woman thing from "The Pursuit of Hariman's Treasure"
Line(Dialog): "Hello sailor... Lupin would you rub oil on me?" - Goemon
Escape: Not sure. Maybe edit later.
Scene(in anything, about anything): See movie
Song(Background Music/Theme Music): Evil background music in Columbus Files it sounds like boss music from SNE.
Outfit(s): None

The Sister Angelica one was from season 2. I agree, it was very bad. I only liked his first love story, to be honest.
I had the same reaction to the Criminal race one..
I forget the name of that movie as well, and Jigen got mad.. It was kind of stupid.
That line scares me.. Although, I think Nani was telling me about it xP

Columbus Files/Fujiko's Unlucky Days is better in Japanese.
The English line is very creepy, almost as if Goemon was enjoying giving Jigen CPR or something...I love the scene in Japanese. Goemon is just giving him CPR and Jigen freaks out. Jigen tells Goemon to just let him die next time. xd
But then, I'm odd.
I remeber two second series episodes that I dislike now,
the first is when Lupin gets captured by 'Madame X' who turns real famous people into wax figures...by pouring wax on the real people. It was just strange and weird and an entire head-trip.
The second is one where Lupin goes off to rescue Goemon and Jigen from this village which has taken them prisoner, and everybody (including Jigen and Goemon) are hypnotised into obeying this nun.
It's actually a parody/homage to a British show called 'The Prisoner' (which I also love) but it's not well executed. It just bothers me. confused

That episode (where Jigen and Goemon were in that religious place) was indeed weird.. It didn't bother me alot, but it wasn't as good as lot of the episodes. I notice that Lupin(Especially the 2nd series) has ALOT of homages to American and English stuff though..
There was an episode (episode 92) that was a homage to the Ladykillers.. Mamo looks (and his character is similar too) suspiciously like Swan from Phantom of the Paradise (This MAY just be a coincidence, however it was written on Wikipedia that it was a thing to Swan. I don't know if this is true, but at least I'm not the only one who thought of it)
The episode with that New York gangster and the diamond making robot had to be a homage to something..
There was a thing to Columbo, with his son..
Too many to remember.
As for Fujiko's Unlucky Days, I can't remember which version I watched.. Maybe the Japanese one is better (After all, it was FUNimation who did the English version), but I think the plot's bad. The way Fujiko acts is also pretty annoying xp

Pirupi Song(Background Music/Theme Music): All First Series music, Manhattan Joke (From the Babylon movie), Theme Song From Alcatraz Connection, Ending song from Return the Treasure, Love Squall from First Contact (The remake.. Does anyone know what language that is? It sounds like Italian or something) Alcatraz was bad, but I enjoyed the ending song. Return the Treasure's singer was so breathy is was like she was asthmatic, it was just bad singing. Manhatten Joke I will listen to if I'm bored. Still, it's such a weird song. Now, for the First Contact song...*pulls out my large and cumbersome music CDs* Here's the first two lines according to the CD: Quote: "Love Squall" seu nome Nunca pude te esquecer Googling it get really odd translations: Italian Love Squall seu name nape pude you esquecer French Love Squall seu nomist nuca pude you esquecer Spanish Love Squall seu nome nape of the neck I could esquecer to you It appears to be Portuguese. xd Quote: Love Squall its name nape of the neck I could forget you There you go! Want the whole song? It's going to be Google-fied, though. xd

Would not having the entire second series on dvd and dubbed be applicable here?
