Talk:Al-Shamshoon (2005 "The Simpsons" Arabic Adaptation Unaired Episodes)/@comment-4598697-20160825115932

I heard they had trouble with this dub. The heavy emphasis on beer as part of Homer's character doesn't translate well with Arabic audiences since most Arabs don't drink alcohol.

A lot of the humor on the Simpsons is distinctly American, so in a lot of countries, they simply show the English version with local subtitles. I guess over there it would appeal to younger people (i.e. in their 20s or 30s) since many of them are more Westernized, but most older adults aren't as globalized.
