    I was surprised to find out recently that in the US, they dubbed over the British English in bob the builder with American English.

      wtf, its not like they’re different languages and there it probably helps with understanding different dialects

        Yeah, I’ve seen that. Dubbing Oprah over Attenborough.

        I don’t really get it. It’s not like the language is different. Imagine how bizarre it’d be if the UK dubbed over the Simpsons and made them Scouse or something

        Actually that’d be pretty funny, I’m all for scouse Simpsons
