Never heard about the anime show Ghost Stories until this morning when someone pointed it out on Reddit.

As I understand it, Ghost Stories was, according to the original posting on reddit.com, a “mediocre” anime series that ran 20 episodes but whose distinction lies in the fact that when it was translated and dubbed into English, the dubbing team had a field day parodying the mediocre product.

Examples of the at times hilarious (IMHO!) dubbing of Ghost Stories can be found in these clips:

Amusing as seeing this was, it was surprising no one who posted comments on this (at least at this time) knew of the “parody dubbing” done many years before, and very well, by Woody Allen (!) for the 1966 film What’s Up Tiger Lilly.  I’ll allow the trailer for the film to explain the madness within…

Here are some other clips from the parody dub…

So if humorous dubbing is your thing, check it out!
