Everybody Hates Chris (Brazilian dub)



Todo Mundo Odeia o Chris (English: Everybody Hates Chris) is the Brazilian dub of Everybody Hates Chris. The dub was made first in the Brazilian dubbing studio VTI in the first two seasons and later in the seasons 3-4 was transferred to Sérgio Moreno Filmes (the dubbing studio of Brazilian voice actor, Sérgio Moreno) through Artsound, both on Rio de Janeiro. Is currently aired on RecordTV and on Comedy Central in Brazil, it was previously aired on TBS.

Why It Rocks

 * 1) Very good voicing acting, especially to Bruno Pontes as Chris (seasons 2-4), Gutemberg Barros as Julius, Guilene Conte as Rochelle, Rodrigo Antas as Drew (seasons 2-4), the late Ana Lúcia Menezes (season 2) and Fernanda Crispim as Tonya (seasons 3-4) and Diogo Ferreira (season 1) and Erick Bougleux (seasons 2-4) as Greg.
 * 2) The other characters are also well dubbed, like Flávia Fontenelle as Tasha, Fernando Lopes as Jerome, the late Hamilton Ricardo as Uncle Michael, the late Christiane Louise as Mrs. Morello, Mário Tupinambá as Risky, Bruno Rocha as Doc (seasons 3-4), Marcus Júnior as Caruso (seasons 2-4), Marco Moreira as Malvo and José Santa Cruz as Mr. Omar.
 * 3) Philippe Maia as Chris Rock in the narration of the series in the Brazilian dubbing is very funny. The Brazilian references he says makes his narration more funny, despite the Brazilian references were not in the narration of the original version.
 * 4) The series quotes are translated very well like: Eu não preciso disso, meu marido tem dois empregos!, Cara, você é muito louco, Não fui eu, Trágico, Carinha que mora logo ali, GRANDE HOMEM!!! and the famous one that become very known in the Brazilian internet: Achou que eu tava brincando!?!?.
 * 5) Not only the series quotes are translated very well, but some phrases that the characters say are translated very well too like Arrebentou a boca do balão and Papa fetos.

Bad Qualities

 * 1) Many of the characters had their voice actors replaced in season two, including even main characters like Chris, Drew, Tonya, Greg, Caruso and Ms. Morello, and the new voices are extremely different from the previous ones. In the case of Mrs. Morello, she was voiced by Isabela Quadros in only two episodes from Season 1.
 * 2) There are even more changes of voice actors between seasons 2 and 4, with Tonya even starting to have a 3rd voice actress from the third season.
 * 3) Had some dubbing gaffes, with jokes that could not be translated correctly due to differences between English and Portuguese.
 * 4) * For example: in the episode where Chris wants to see The Fat Boys show, he makes a dialogue calling the trio "os gordinhos" (the fatties), however this doesn't make sense since the trio name is kept in the original in English.
 * 5) * In the episode Everybody Hates Homecoming in the scene where Doc speaks in Chinese Chris (as narrator) speaks "translating into English", which doesn't make sense since the dub is in Portuguese.
