    Any of you ever watch sealab 2020 that was on adult swim? Where they remixed clips and did new voices/dialogue and story.

    That show was hilarious. I wish someone did it with Star Trek the animated show but whoever owns the licensing would never allow it.

      Back in the 90s there was a parody project called Sinnlos im Weltraum made by some Germans. For a while all episodes were available on DVD and I still got a copy. It reminded me a lot of Mystery Science Theater 3000. Funny as hell. They used a very weird local accent and I really struggle with it sometimes.

      If you’re curious, you can try to translate the German Wikipedia article using deepl or a similar service:

        I think the problems with understanding the dialogue are also because the audio quality of the fandub (from 1994-1997) is atrocious.

          I struggle with most German accents. If it’s not standard German, my brain just switches off the lights and sings Kumbaya at a camp fire playing the acoustic guitar.

          But yes, the SIW audio quality was quite rough.
