Speaking in tongues; dubbing the Simpsons around the globe

by Neil Woodburn Dec 3rd 2007 @ 8:00AM

One of the more enjoyable aspects of travel is coming across a version of the Simpsons dubbed in the local language.

Most of you reading this website are probably accustomed to the original American English voices of Homer, Bart, and the rest of the crew. Others around the world, however, have grown up hearing an entirely different voice when Chief Wiggums says something stupid or Homer screws up, doh!

The strange experience of hearing the Homer you know so well speak with a different voice in a different language is one of the many wonderful disconnects that make travel so rich and rewarding.

Below is a collection of various languages in which America's greatest export can be heard around the globe. I just hope I got them all right, doh!

German

Czech
French
Spanish
Turkish
Japanese
Danish
