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 It's Horrible

 * 1) The series is poorly translated, just like the Italian, European Spanish, Latin American Spanish, Brazilian Portuguese (in Seasons 8-present), and Russian dubs.
 * 2) Much like the original series, the dub is heavily criticized for its pop culture references.
 * 3) Most of the characters' voices sound absolutely nothing like the original version. As such, most of the remarks about their voices no longer make sense.
 * 4) * Peter (especially when he laughs too much) and Chris (especially in later seasons) have ear-bleeding and grating voices.
 * 5) * Lois and Bonnie have much deeper voices, unlike the original English version.
 * 6) * John Herbert speaks in a low pitched lion tone instead of a high-pitched wolf whistle tone.
 * 7) * In The Bart Simpson Guy, Stewie remarking that Bart sounds like a little girl is lost in the translation. In the crossover, Bart was voiced by a man (Benoît du Pac), but by women (Joëlle Guigui and Nathalie Bienaimé) in Bart Simpson.
 * 8) Sylvie Jacob (Meg), Patrice Dozier (Quagmire), and Gérard Surugue are overused and wasted.
 * 9) When the show crossed over with Bart Simpson, they could only afford to keep Homer and Marge's voice actors. The other Bart Simpson characters sounded nothing like the official French version.
 * 10) Something… Dark Side was dubbed by a completely different French cast.
 * 11) Beginning in season 7, most of the songs are no longer dubbed.

Only Redeeming Quality

 * 1) Brian, Cleveland, and Joe have tolerable voices.
