Let's learn about cartoon characters who are Hilarious and completely legendary in other languages.
Starting with Soundwave from Transformers. In the original 1980s cartoon, Soundwave's voice had a robotic effect. But when the show was dubbed into Mandarin Chinese, they couldn't easily recreate that effect. So his voice actor came up with another solution: singing his dialogue in Mandarin but to thy style of Western Opera. Which gave birth to this masterpiece:
And speaking of Opera Singing Dub's, Instead of screaming in pain while Vegeta beats him up, Portugal's Ginyu practically starts singing opera, with ridiculous high-pitched noises.
Then there's Buzz Lightyear in Toy Story 3. Remember when Buzz accidentally switches into Spanish mode? Well, in Latin America, where Buzz already speaks Spanish, he suddenly starts speaking with an accent from Spain. But in Spain itself, Buzz switches to an exaggerated Andalusian accent instead.
Next is Momoko from Ghost Stories. In the Japanese original, she's a fairly normal schoolgirl. But the official English dub completely rewrote her into an extremely religious character who constantly tries converting her classmates. In fact, the entire horror anime was practically turned into a comedy.
And finally, Vegeta from Dragon Ball Z. The Portuguese dub was so ridiculous that when Vegeta's voice actor changed, they actually gave him dialogue acknowledging that his voice had changed. The characters were basically breaking the fourth wall in an otherwise serious anime.
