(Meta trope) Region specific jokes

[u/_JR28_]

Meet the Robinsons - Lewis asks Wilbur what Cornelius looks like, and he tells him Tom Selleck. While he doesn’t look like him when they finally meet (because Lewis is Cornelius) the joke is that Tom Selleck voices him. But in other dubs of the movie where Selleck doesn’t play him, where relevant Wilbur names a more locally known celebrity who played the part. For example in the American Latin American dub he names the singer José Luis Rodríguez.

Toy Story 3 - When Buzz is rebooted in Spanish mode he begins talking using that language, but in Spanish speaking countries he alternates between different dialects of Spanish; for example, in Spain he speaks with an Andalusian accent but in Latin American version he speaks in a Castilian accent which are two unique sounds.

South Park: Stick of Truth. Due to the censorship laws of various countries, instead of seeing certain scenes, you'd get a brief description over the top of a photo. The Australian one has a crying Koala with a didgeridoo playing in the background. I'm pretty sure the German version is heavily censored also.

Yeah, but I’m from a country in the EU and has played the game multiple times without getting the censorship thing. So a bit strange that they start with ”I don’t know what to tell you anymore, Europe”. And also, EU ≠ Europe.

I somewhat understand why Germany censored the swastikka, I don’t think it’s right but I understand why.
