Bob the Builder...

Hey...

The other day, as I was flicking throught the 4 occasionally clear channels on our TV when I found Bob the Builder. I thought it was cool and left it on that. As it continued to play, I could tell something was werid but I couldn't put my finger on it until Bob began to talk - he had an american accent and so did all the other characters!! It was so funny, I had to sit down and watch. They had just dubed over the original British version we're all used to. I just thought I'd share that with everyone because I thought it was amusing. The characters just didn't have the same personality with different accents...lol.



Life has been going well. There is still no snow though, which I find very sad, but they are forcasting some snow for the weekend. I still haven't made a snowman since we've been here and I have a desperate need to play in the snow, lol.

I bought Seth the New Super Mario Brothers game for Christmas for his Nintendo DS, but now he is very dejected because he a mastered it. I can't even get thought the first world lol. I'm very bad at it...

Anyways, I had best be off, I just wanted to share my Bob the Builder discoveries with you!

Love BEAR

I can't believe they dub it!!!

Is that because they have difficulty understanding it? Or they prefer their own cheesey sound? I love the brits accent. it's so cool.

I can't imagine it. Hmmmm,do they dub aussie stuff?

We miss you at game nights too. Peas With Corn is still our standard joke and we had a good chuckle over it. Nick Deb and I confessed to thinking about it regularly, as in at least once a week, if not more, we ponder "Peas With Corn"

Funny that, It has always been an American accent that I remember. But now that you mention it, I can see where it might have originally been a British show. Are you sure they don't "dub it" the other way around?
Lastly, You Must Explain the Peas with Corn Joke! ;-)

Yea, im sure they dub it...I looked it up on Wikipedia, because I wondered too.

I'll have to explain the peas with corn later but basically it was while we were playing the game balderdash. We were given initals (PWC) and we had to make up something to go with it...mine was peas with corn, heaps of people loved it, and its just an ongoing joke that whenever we play that game we remember peas with corn.

Game nights are always fun!
