Les Griffin (Family Guy)

Les Griffin (English: The Griffins) is the French dub of the American adult animated sitcom Family Guy. This dub premiered on Canal+ on May 8, 2000; and currently airs on MCM.

Why This Dub Sucks

 * 1) The series is poorly translated.
 * 2) Much like the original series, the dub is heavily criticized for its pop culture references.
 * 3) Peter (especially when he laughs hysterically) and Chris have very ear-grating voices.
 * 4) Most of the characters' voices sound nothing like the original version. As such, most of the remarks about their voices no longer make sense.
 * 5) * Lois and Bonnie have more normal voices than in the English version.
 * 6) * Herbert speaks in a gruff tone instead of a hoarse whistle.
 * 7) * In The Simpsons Guy, Stewie remarking that Bart sounds like a little girl is lost in translation. In the crossover, Bart was voiced by a teenage man (Benoît du Pac), but by teenage women (Joëlle Guigui and Nathalie Bienaimé) in The Simpsons.
 * 8) Sylvie Jacob (Meg), Patrice Dozier (Quagmire) and Gérard Surugue are overused and wasted.
 * 9) When the show crossed over with The Simpsons, they could only afford to keep Homer and Marge's voice actors. The other Simpsons characters sounded nothing like the official French version.
 * 10) Something… Dark Side was dubbed by a completely different cast.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Meg, Lois, Joe and Bonnie have tolerable voices.
 * 2) The Japanese dub was a huge improvement over the horrible French dub.
