And in fact your translations suggest to me that you only glanced at pepsiboy's Japanese or you don't speak it either, 'cause, for instance, his first sentence doesn't say "heavy weapon" or "my shadow". I think the following better captures the, erm, flavor of the "Japanese":

重い:私のクールな武器は....です...影
What pepsiboy says it means: the heavy: my cool weapon....is for...shadow
What it means: Heavy: As for my cool weapon. Is. A shadow. (I replaced the ellipses with periods to highlight the ungrammaticalness; the way it's written, it's more like three "sentences".)

マックスは:ボブスおもちゃチャオと尾です
What pepsiboy says it means: Max: the bobs toys is for chao and tails
What it means: As for Bad, Strong: It's Bobs toy chao and tail.

悪い強い:私のセガテープはBEAT私のスコアをお持ちのDSいます
What pepsiboy says it means: Strong Bad: my sega tapes is on your ds to BEAT MY SCORE!!!
What it means: Bad, Strong: As for my Sega tapes, BEAT. The having of my score's DS, is.

ティコ:彼の冒険に** Kは尾です9000果実Fは、その後、私の毛皮はラキスタノキワミ{ピロから叩か}
What pepsiboy says it means: tycho: the 9000 fruit F**K is for tails in his adventure then my fur- {flamed from pyro} AHHHH
What it means: Tycho: To his adventure, **K is tail. As for 9000 fruit F, afterwards, as for my fur, Lucky Star no Kiwami (hit from Pyro?)

(Additionally, it should be noted that "Taiko" would be a better rendering of the pronunciation of Tycho's name, whereas pepsiboy has "Tiko". However, the name of the original Tycho Brahe, after which PA's is named, is indeed "Tiko" in Japanese, so eh. Lucky Star no Kiwami is the name of an album of remixes of Lucky Star remixes. I'm not sure what "kiwami" means, so I've left the title untranslated.)
I dont speak japanese at all, I just used google translate.
