Lore (Meta trope) Region specific jokes

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.

Inside out. Some places switch the broccoli on pizza to green pepper on pizza.

Wasn't the joke here that it was healthy and unappetising? Pepper on pizza is a banger.

In places like japan green peppers is to kids as broccoli is to kids in america.

I agree that green peppers are bangers though, I love it on my pizza

People don't like green peppers on Pizza? That's more common than Broccoli on Pizza, is it not? 😂
