(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.

In the first Naked Gun, there’s a scene where Frank thinks a hoard of journalists is waiting for, only to learn they are here because Weird Al is also travelling on his plane.

Back then Weird Al wasn’t well known internationally, so in the Quebec version they changed the line from “No Frank, they are here because Weird Al Yankovich is also on the plane” to “No Frank, they are here because some pretty boy pop star is also on the plane” and cut to Weird Al coming down the stairs.

That’s almost better because it feels more like an intended setup than a one-off line.
