It should be noted that people act in the way we expect them to act under rather specific circumstances. Stanley Milgram was very serious about his shocks, and changed many of the variables of the experiment around. Sometimes the "observer" was a "doctor" with a lab coat, sometimes they were another layman, sometimes the shockee was in the same room, sometime he was in the other room, different commands were used of varying urgency, the gender of the participants was noted, etc. etc.

We only ever hear in media that the experiment showed that people will do anything under order, but not that it has to be under the right circumstances. It makes a simpler and more sensational headline when you cut out the second part I suppose.

FLCL's dub is insanely well done, especially since they did their best to recreate the spirit of jokes and references using Western pop culture rather than lose viewers with a direct translation.

It's a testament to their work that they only struggle to hit the mark when the jokes, puns, and playing around with language the show does is truely rapid-fire, and even then they do a pretty good job keeping up.
