For me it used to come in TV with hindi commentary, which was absolutely hilarious lol.

Glad to hear somewhere else did this! USA had "MXC" as for its equivalent.

MXC was the best. That is so cool that it is a global phenomenon to hilariously dub over other countries media. It makes me wonder what English language TV shows have hilarious commentary in other languages now. This could be a fun rabbit hole.

Fun fact: in Germany, the 70s series „The Persuaders“ has cult status because of this. Everywhere else it kinda flopped, but the German dub is soo hilariously nonsensical that everybody loved it.

The people that were in charge of the dub are the same as for all the Bud Spencer and Terrence Hill Movies.

My girlfriend showed it to me recently and it was bonkers. I love that they didn't even pretend like it made sense lul. Amazing.
