Pinesalad Productions

Pinesalad Productions was an anime parody redubbing group that began in 1984. They produced three redubs of Robotech and four of Dirty Pair. In 2009 the episodes were remastered and uploaded to YouTube.
The first dub, "How Drugs Won the War", was premiered at CreationCon at Anaheim in 1987 and was subsequently shown at other conventions, including Baycon and A-Kon. It became a cult classic and was copied and re-copied and passed around various anime fan clubs.
Following the popularity of "How Drugs Won the War", the group released "So Glad You Could Stop by for a Sip of Sherry, Slut!" , followed by "Dirty Pair Does Dishes", which was the result of a request from the Orange chapter of C/FO. The Dirty Pair dub was so popular ("These tapes have seen more of the world than the people who make them")From "Pinesalad Press", Vol 1, No. 1, May 1987, a newsletter published by the group to provide information on their projects. Source: Pinesalad Press Facebook, October 17, 2017. that the group released another based on episode 26, "The Revenge of B.D.", which included many references to Megazone 23.
The final Robotech vid was "You Lying Hussy! I Thought You Were A Man!", which spliced the last half of episode 24 with the first half of episode 25 (the shoddy animation in 25 gives us away). This was followed by "Fistfull of Pasta", and then "Viva La Dirty Pair", which was released in 1990. Following this, the group "extricat[ed] themselves from the anime parody community", although some members remained; for example Peter Payne was co-founder of the parody fandub group, Seishun Shitamasu.
In the 2000s and 2010s, individuals from Pinesalad Productions appeared at various consAnime Boston (2009, 2010, 2011) with a panel "Create Your Own Anime Parody Dub: Tips from PineSalad Productions". In 2009, they released several of their works on their YouTube, before running afoul of that platform's copyright policies. There is also a Facebook site, where old materials and memories are shared.
