باب اسفنجی (SpongeBob SquarePants Persian dubs)

باب اسفنجی (Bab Esfanji) (eng. Sponge Bob) is an illegal dub of SpongeBob SquarePants. It aired on multiple channels and first aired in Afghanistan, later airing in Iran. This dub was discovered in 2017 and blew up in October 2020.

Why This Dub Sucks

 * 1) Like other Persian dubs of cartoons, it was illegally made without Nickelodeon nor Viacom's permission and is yet still airing.
 * 2) The instrumentals are used with a vocal remover, thus making it crusty and low quality.
 * 3) While replacing Sandy's bikini with regular clothing is understandable due to Iranian laws, the way they handle it is a bit rushed and poor.
 * 4) Some bootlegs movies without Viacom's consent.
 * 5) There are also sounds and music stolen from other media without consent.
 * 6) Poor lip-syncing with no editing provided.
 * 7) In the Persian Toon dub, the songs are left badly voice-covered.
 * 8) Parsian Studios' dub has been used for military propaganda. No joke!

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Spongebob's voice in this dub can be hilarious.
 * 2) The comedy is still here in this dub, meaning iranian and afghan kids can enjoy spongebob's comedy.
 * 3) The MBC Persia dub and the IRIB TV2 are the only dubs that are legal.
 * 4) The "logo" of this dub is well-edited a bit.
