[fighterisr]

[i40329]

[DeweyTheTotodile]

[goombamario1]

[CorrosionX3]

It sounds like the same guy is doing the 3 voices... the french version is funnier :)

[TheLazysketcher]

I recently watched tihs movie again, and when they were showing the gods, i was like: Oh this takes me ba- HOLY CRAP is that a naked chick??? xD

[Parkerkun]

Is it just me or does that instructor guy sound like a male version of GLaDOS?

[MirageVelondor]

Can't we just agree that most like it best in their own language?... And Jupiter isn't black, he's a 'bronzed god'. ^^

[cielprofondinfo]

Needless to say, I love the scene starting at 4:35 or so… ;-)

[TheGrannyWhore]

ENGLISH SUCKS

DUTCH IS THE ONLY LANGUAGE THIS SHOULD BE SPOAKEN

[kolargol]

@TheGrannyWhore lol nice impression of UK and U.S.A.! U!S!A! !U!S!A!

[Glitcher2000]

Venus, put your arms down!

[TheJacobCastle]

venus is pam anderson

[Belphegor82]

@TheJacobCastle Actually, considering the time period, I think she was supposed to be Brigitte Bardot :o)

[TheKreatori]

Obelix's face @ 1:50 :D

[harryjamieson08]

this was the worlds first official recorded group sex

[amazingdany]

Aphrodite looks better than the Pleasure Island's high priestess, that's for sure!

[shamanite]

AAAAH Astérix's voice in english :O

[sumadinac92]

ZEUS WAS BLACK!?

[Buli0n]

@sumadinac92 he's Jupiter, not Zeus... start learning. It's Rome, not Greek.

[MrPhane1]

@sumadinac92 more like brown indian

[ThePhil909]

@sumadinac92 greeks were olive tanning but not black but very early they were darker still, brown but never black skin, but this is a god so they can portray him as they like lil

[Jerrykanneykomunporc]

4:34 Oh, Brigitte Bardot.

[Papadragon18]

How many of you came to see Venus?

[Hasegawaa]

I used to watch this in French with Finnish subtitles, but thanks for this :) I lost my own vcr where this movie was

[Kelvin3531]

What accent the Old Man has?

[ladyreepirate]

Um ok

[kozmon0t]

skip to 4:34 for the naked chick

[Dan2bias]

hmm fist time i hear the english voises and the are way behind the Danish . they sound so overdone and flat

[hell5309]

Why is Venus (or whatever her Celtic name is) completely naked?

[HammerBirchgrove]

@hell5309 Because she is the Goddess of Love, chum!

[hell5309]

@HammerBirchgrove Yeah, but why does that necessitate her being naked?

[HammerBirchgrove]

@hell5309 Good point... My guess is that the film makers wanted to see if they could get away with it. If you find that racy, you should (or maybe not) take a look at the Danish comic Valhalla by Peter Madsen et al. Especially the 2nd book, Thors Brudefærd ("Thor's Wedding") and the 8th books, Frejas Smykke ("Freya's Necklace"), both featuring love goddess Freya in all her glory. And this was intended to kids, just as the Asterix comics!

[hell5309]

@HammerBirchgrove I don't find it racy, I just thought it was gratuitous. I never thought of Venus (or Aphrodite or Freya for that matter) as being generally naked.

For my reference, do the comics you've cited show Freya naked but covering herself (the way it was here), or with nipples and bush to the wind?

[Masshuu4400]

@hell5309 Why not ?? :D:D

[hell5309]

@Masshuu4400 Well, for one thing, she's the goddess of love, not the goddess of nudity. For another, though she was born naked from sea foam, she was immediately clothed.

[rugbytlse]

@hell5309 Clothed? Nope, Christians clothed gods but in fact they were NOT, as neither the ancient Greeks nor the Romans had any problem whatsoever with nudity. Btw, it is amazing NOBODY recognized Brigitte Bardot as Venus.

[hell5309]

@rugbytlse Okay, first, I can't authenticate your claim about Christianity. Second, she was the only deity portrayed as nude here, and I didn't get why. Third, I don't know (or really care) who Brigitte Bardot is.

[rugbytlse]

@hell5309 She was portrayed as nude just because she is a female character and we French people cannot miss an opportunity to look at a nude girl, even if it's just a cartoon.

[hell5309]

@rugbytlse If that's the case, why isn't EVERY female character in this show portrayed nude? 

[rugbytlse]

@hell5309 because she is a goddess.

[HammerBirchgrove]

@rugbytlse Best. Reply. EVER.

[PikolUploader]

black zeus ? lol

[thess1981kordelio]

Alla giati o Dias einai mayros (p_q)

[thess1981kordelio]

I Afroditi ta spaei!!

[BardotQueen]

Venus is a caricature of Brigitte Bardot, even her voice is (in french). Too bad you can't hear it in your language... Anyway, you can see it thanks to her sexyness ! ^^

[MISTEROMIOMIOMIOMI]

What does the old man of the mountain do when there is no one asking for the riddle. Theres not much to do at the top of a mountain

[stembrick]

best. trial.ever. and the most difficult

[tomasahlin]

Thom York at the beginning

[MrHappyRandom]

ok you guys, seriously, how many of you actually only watched this because of the thumbnail?

[Alxmir23]

anyone got the old man of the mountain music?

[cliffhanger11414]

I think its Aphrodite.. seeing that they are Greek gods. O_o

[Holowachuk]

@cliffhanger11414

what's the difference?

[wikiih]

@Holowachuk culture

[newgrounder2]

Are the 2 godesses free? I want them to meet my "god" ;3

[flipjrive]

4:34

[MrRiffraff84]

Why does the old man look like Miraculix?

[muldroonz]

i bet all the male ods had sex with venus

[MhammerL]

@muldroonz Just the males? =.= Knowing venus... I'm just sayin'.

[OBSysteme]

ish... it sounds weird with english voices.... no offence, but...

[sequana8]

I suppose I'm exposing the fact that I'm very lonely, but honestly Venus / Aphrodite is absolutely a beautiful sexy woman !

[Lumitikal]

Venus looks like Brigitte Bardot ! ^-^

[dspprince]

it took Asterix only 3 seconds to easily solve the riddle of the gods. lol

[imbiggy]

4:44 SILENCE, By me!

[chalkyncheesy]

guess the old man is the ancient form of ad promo

[Daegonath]

LOL, Mercuary is British.

[Sapfirah]

why the fuck is jupiter black?

[Furienna]

Yeah, good question. 

[chalkyncheesy]

@Sapfirah  racist

[PaulRietvoorn]

i love this cartoon trick. as a naughty child you're hoping to see the tits of venus, although you know you never will, because you're too young. there is always an obstacle in the way, like her arm, a twig, a person or whatever :D

[Furienna]

Lol yeah, I know it's Venus, the goddess of love (and sex), but they still had some guts getting that close to show a character in a cartoon naked.

[dspprince]

lol, Asterix just owned the task of the gods easily.

[Germeka]

How does it come that the thumbnail represents the naked chick.? 

[Furienna]

Obviously because she's seen three fourths of the way into the clip.

[dragoncat11]

does anyone know where online one can see the end of the movie? The end of my copy died a decade ago and I haven't been able to find it online. I haven't seen the ending since. I have almost forgotten what happens.

[droctogonapus24]

4:04

wtf is wrong with that old man?

[onceigoblack]

@droctogonapus24 nothing do u have a problem?

[shenloken2]

Oh what a sexy Venus. ^_^

[dionysos46]

@shenloken2 : It's Brigitte Bardot, in facts... ^-^

[kuljeskelija]

Brigitte Bardot as Venus... Hmm. I wonder where I could go and convert? ;)

[DrCockroachPhD]

Towards the end when he answers it right, The Old Man sounds like he's doing a TV commercial!

[royalrooter]

When was this made??

The voice of Jupiter sounds the actor who did the voice of the great oz on the Wizard of Oz.

[RingoandCarlin]

@royalrooter It was made in 1976

[ArtereAorte]

The blond one is Brigitte Bardot.

[lekotar]

"miserable mortals" LMAO... why the hell is jupiter so dark skinned!?

[dspprince]

can someone upload the task about the Egyptian magician. its one of my favorites.

[dspprince]

"(3 seconds after the task began) this one. :) its silkier, softer."

"YYEESS!!"

Asterix easily beats a challenge of the gods.

[Kruku88]

I could kill for a track when they are at the very top of the mountain,... great music... anyone know how to get it?

[Dukefist]

And Zeuz is black?

[Ivar7777]

hes not black, his skin is grey becasue he's so old.

[Ivar7777]

sorry. i thought you ment the old man on the mountain.

[Dukefist]

lol

Haha u thought that old one was Zeus?

[Ivar7777]

a little

[Dukefist]

HeHe

[mimmi2]

@Dukefist

[Dukefist]

@mimmi2

Zeus - Greek God Zeus - Roman Jupiter...

Jeez where do you students learn your history, know it before you point anywhere...

[mimmi2]

[Dukefist]

[9DarthMaul]

[aliciabrissou]

[shuboy05]

I love how the scene begins so seriously... then it turns into a laundry commercial.

[contact1araya]

@shuboy05 hey!!!! thanks for ruing it for me!!!

[RingoandCarlin]

@shuboy05 I know it's all lol

[tribacelt]

[bushibayushi]

[EATSFALCONPUNCH]

Such a trippy movie, and pretty kinky too, for a cartoon, I'd definitely put it in Aphrodite's pooper

[antoneurng]
