Why didn't The Simpsons or Family Guy catch on in Nippon like South Park did?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUFujWurpkE
>>144636924Fujos.
Because these shows don't have dozens of bratty little boys doing retarded things together.
>>144636924Because South Park has character designs that are very appealing to the Japanese, and also the general weirdness of the first seven seasons are also appealing. The Simpsons and Family Guy rely too much on references a lot of Japanese watchers wouldn't get
>>144637097I wonder what they thought of the Chinpokomon episode?
>>144637111That episode never aired there because the Japanese translators were probably worried it would offend the Japanese, but Japanese fans subbed the episode. I also think all of the episodes that have Sadam Hussein were never aired there as well.Fun Fact: Kyle is voiced by the guy who plays Ranma and Inuyasha in the most well known version of the dub
>>144636924Herro. Welcome to City Wok may I take your order prease?
>>144636924Family Guy is actually catching on thru jap compilation vids.afaik The Simpsons were just a 90's american novelty in Japan and they lost interest after the movie.
Simpsons jokes don't translate well into Japanese
>>144637309Simpsons merchandise and the arcade game were both popular in Japan in the early 90s, with the show itself being virtually unknown. It got a dubbed broadcast there but only on a premium satellite channel that specialized in foreign shows.
>>144637145It never aired because Nintendo of Japan made a fuss and the Japanese government in general hated the Pearl Harbor jokes.
