Persian dubs of SpongeBob SquarePants

باب اسفنجی (Bab Esfanji) (eng. Sponge Bob) is/are an illegal dub(s) of mh:besttvshows:SpongeBob SquarePants. It aired on multiple channels and first aired in Afghanistan, later airing in Iran and Tajikistan.

Why These Dubs Deserve To Be Served Chum

 * 1) This series is poorly translated, just like the Bengali, Macedonian, Tibetan and Mongolian dubs.
 * 2) Like other Persian dubs of cartoons, they were illegally made without Nickelodeon nor Paramount's permission and are yet still airing.
 * 3) The instrumentals are used with a vocal remover, thus making it crusty and low quality.
 * 4) While replacing Sandy's indoor wear and the Bikini Bottomites bikinis with regular clothing is understandable due to Iranian laws, the way they handle it is a bit rushed and poor.
 * 5) But not only did they replace Sandy's bikini, but they also tried to remove Sandy's bikini, resulting in Sandy looking awkward while topless since you can still see the breasts shape.
 * 6) This dub somehow spawned four bootleg unlicensed movies without Paramount's consent, known as the SpongeBob in Tehran trilogy. Unsurprisingly, all of those films sucked and were bad. The first film has a nonsensical plot and appalling animation, the second movie (or sequel) has slightly better but still subpar at best animation as well as an inappropriate and infamous scene where near the end, Patrick and a young daughter have sex, Does any of this sound familiar to you?. In a kids movie, no less, the third film (or threequel) has unappealing colors and character designs that are more fit as a parody and mediocre animation (that is the best of the whole series, by the way), and the fourth and final installment (or fourquel) does not have any animation at all, with SpongeBob, Patrick, and Mr. Krabs being portrayed in poorly done and hideous costumes and halfway transitions into a boring factory tour.
 * 7) There are also sounds and music stolen from other media without consent.
 * 8) Laughably bad voice acting that ranges from decent to poor.
 * 9) Poor lip-syncing with no editing provided.
 * 10) In the Persian Toon dub, the songs are left badly voice-covered.
 * 11) Parsian Studios' dub has been used for military propaganda.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The comedy is still here in this dub, meaning that kids from Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan can still enjoy SpongeBob's comedy.
 * 2) The actual show is great, only these dubs suck.
 * 3) The MBC Persia and the IRIB TV2 dubs are the only dubs that are legal.
 * 4) The "logo" of this dub is well-edited a bit.
 * 5) The voice acting is so awful to listen to that it’s worth a laugh.
 * 6) The Bikini Bottomites' dresses, while poorly-drawn, are decently animated.
