Wow! Wow! Wubbzy! (Arabic dub)

عالم فرحان (Ealim Farhan) (English: Hilarious world) is the Arabic dub of the popular educational television series, Wow Wow Wubbzy! produced by Arascope.

It was aired on MBC 3 from 2008-2009, and then on Al Jazeera Children's Channel from 2008-2009, and later on Baraem from 2010-2017.

Why This Dub Sucks

 * 1) The dubbing is horrible, as it copies most of the creative concepts that the original English version has, and turns them into something very generic and bland.
 * 2) It ignores the theme of the original English version of the show, because Wubbzy's catchphrase, "Wow!," is cut out in the dub.
 * 3) The characters are flanderized:
 * 4) * Wubbzy goes from a funny, silly, and yet optimistic character to an annoying, aggravating, always cheery, unfunny, and dimwitted character with barely any intelligence or optimism whatsoever, and with the personality of SpongeBob SquarePants from Seasons 6-8 of the show of the same name and The Powerpuff Girls from Seasons 5-6. Widget's personality is changed from a tomboyish trope into a girly girl type of character, Walden into an unlikable selfish jerk, and Daizy into a Butt Monkey-type character, which means that she gets abused without any reason whatsoever.
 * 5) * In the Season 2 version of the theme song, they cut out Daizy's name in the Arabic dub, although the scenes of the Season 1 version of the theme song is dubbed.
 * 6) Terrible voice acting in Egypt. See for yourself here.
 * 7) Uncreative names. For example, Wubbzy's name in the Arabic dub is Farhan (Happy), Widget's name in this dub is Wardi (Pinky), Walden's name in this dub (as his personality in this dub suggests) is Nedel (Jerky), and Daizy's name in this dub is Dee Dee.
 * 8) Most of the characters sound absolutely nothing like their American counterparts.
 * 9) * Wubbzy, instead of having a feminine voice, has a voice similar to Sheen Estevez from mh:besttvshows:The Adventures of Jimmy Neutron, Boy Genius and Pip the Mouse from mh:besttvshows:Back at the Barnyard in all the episodes, and a pinch of Leo from mh:besttvshows:Little Einsteins in the theme song with an Egyptian-Arabic accent.
 * 10) * Widget, instead of a Western voice, has a very thick valley teenage girl accent.
 * 11) * Walden, instead of a British voice, sounds like an angry, elderly teenage man.
 * 12) * Daizy for some reason, has a deeper grown woman's voice than Widget, while in the original, it's the other way around. And yes, her personality is still the same as her American counterpart.
 * 13) Needless cutting. For example, they cut out the female characters in the bikinis during the swimming episode.
 * 14) The trailer for the Arabic dub of the show felt way too overhyped and dizzy.
 * 15) In the season 2 theme song, they cut out Daizy's name in the Arabic dub, although the rest of the theme song is dubbed.
 * 16) It tries way too hard to be hip and cool, but it fails miserably. For example, Wubbzy's catchphrases in this dub are "HEY!" and "YEAH!", and said character's habit of playing Kickety-Kick Ball is taken way too far.
 * 17) Overuse of boyish and girlish stereotypes.
 * 18) The songs aren't as catchy as they were in the original.
 * 19) The localization is cheap, using generic fonts. This can be seen with the translated title card.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) The jokes are still funny.
 * 2) At least Daizy isn't flanderized in this dub.
 * 3) The Flash animation still looks good.
 * 4) It does improve in season 2, just like in the original English show. Although, it still shares the same mediocre series finale of the original show.
 * 5) Some good episodes.
