That was funny. We remember a similar group interview with the spanish voices when The Simpsons Movie was presented about a year ago... and it's funny to put faces to the voices. Although I'm not familiar with the american voices... Homer is a classic, and the actor playing Apu and Moe was also quite funny :)

I didn't know he was the person behind those voices, I only recognised him because of his role in Friends (yeah, I'm sort of a Friends nerd  :lol:)

you should see some episodes with the normal voices, I think that a lot is lost in translation, I especially see that when I watch tv-shows in germany, with german dubbing, which I am used to see in the original language with norwegian subtitles. Also, a lot of jokes can't be translated, and/or many of them are based on wordplay, which really doesn't translate good.

Though I've seen it before, it's still just as funny and sorta weird to see those voices come out of real people. Cool video!  :good:

That's a shame. I never like watching dubbed stuff, the original is almost always better. Anyway, I'd suggest you download and watch a few episodes in english as well.

I usually watch original stuff: TV series, movies... but The Simpsons is that kind of program that you see when there's nothing else to watch :P and we could say I've just get used to it... and the spanish dubbed version is not that bad afterall :P

I have never watched a single episode of simpsones :blush: Interesting that all of those actors are well known from movies and so, I thought they would be just some people used for theyr voices but normally unknown :)

You didn't know that? I'm surprised. :)

I love Simpsons, I think it's the best cartoon tv series there is. I don't follow it actively, but if it's on I'll watch it. :good:

I love the simpsons.  best cartoon ever. seasons 2-8 are my favourite.

Watch it all the time. it's sad to see the new episode because they are terrible. older episodes had good storylines.
