El Chavo Animado (English dub)

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Unlike the original and the portuguese brazilian dub, this one is overly localized, since the references to Mexican culture of any kind are poorly erased out.
 * 2) Most of the voices are annoying or do not fit their personality at all.
 * 3) * Chavo and Godinez (Gordon) sounds like real kids and even if they are, their voices are simply annoying.
 * 4) * Quico sounds like an idiot and a poor imitation of SpongeBob's voice.
 * 5) * Don Ramon's (Mr. Raymond) voice, sounds a bit hoarse and a poor imitation of Squidward's voice.
 * 6) * Junior sounds like a teenager.
 * 7) Awful or nonsense names like Ñoño that had his name changed to Junior.
 * 8) Iconic jokes or phrases of characters are also ruined here.
 * 9) * Chavo's phrases like "Se me chispoteó" and "Eso, eso, eso", are translated as "It slipped down, sorry" and "Is true, is true, is true" respectively.
 * 10) * Ñoño's phrase "Mirelo eh, mirelo eh", is translated as "I heard that, I heard that".
 * 11) * Don Ramon's phrase "Me lleva el chanfle", is translated as something like "I can't believe!".
 * 12) * The "garrotera", is translated into "Being into a statue".
 * 13) * Profesor Jirafales's phrase ¡Ta, ta, ta, ta, ta!, is translated as "No, no, no, no, no!"
 * 14) To make matters worse, in this dub Chavo and the neighborhood goes from being in Mexico to being in New York.
 * 15) Sometimes they go so far as to add unnecessary details like traslating the woman screams of the horror movie in "Horror stories" or add some Alvin and the Chipmunks-type voices in a part of the episode "Baby Teeth". (Which are annoying by the way)
 * 16) They even mistranslate the episodes or put in dialogues that have nothing to do with the original dub.
 * 17) * An example is in the episode "La casita del Chavo" ("Play House"). In the original dub Don Ramon says "¡No chille! ¡No sea chillón! ¿Qué no tiene pantalones?" ("Don't cry! Don't be a crybaby! You don't have pants?"). In the English dub says "Quit your crying and be a man! You gotta be big and strong." ("¡Deja de llorar y sé un hombre! Tienes que ser grande y fuerte.")
 * 18) It has a new opening theme with lyrics and sounds quite cheesy.
 * 19) Some episode titles even make no sense at all, as for example "Bread and Butterflies" (Una mosca en el café), "Chair Repair" (Deudas a Pagar y Sillas a Pegar) or "What Comes Up Must Go Down" (¡Cómo suben los alimentos!).

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) It has a few of good (Or at least decent) voices like Sr. Barriga, Profesor Jirafales and Doña Clotilde.
 * 2) Not all names translations are terrible, there are clever names and good puns like "Professor Girafalde" (Profesor Jirafales) or "Miss Pinster" (Doña Clotilde).
 * 3) It was a good and unique idea to translate in English a Chespirito program since Chespirito programs were never dubbed in English, even if ended up being poorly executed. Also so that English-speaking people could enjoy Chavo (Even a little) in their own language.
 * 4) Admittedly, they also managed to make good translations. For example, Quico's phrase is translated as "¡Ay! ¡Ya cállate cállate cállate que me desespeeeeras!" is translated as "Shut up, shut up shut up, your driveing me craaaaaazy!"
 * 5) The theme song while still cheesy, is also kinda catchy.
