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 criticised 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 Simpsons 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 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 French cast.
 * 11) Beginning in season 7, most of the songs are no longer dubbed.

The Only Redeeming Quality

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