Big bang theory (banned japanese english dub and faulty dvd release)

Template:Infobox media
**大爆発の理論的考察~!!!!! B I G  B A N G  T H E O R Y** is the Japanese English dub of The Big Bang Theory. It is different from the original version of The Big Bang Theory and the real Japanese dub in the way it was created to teach Japanese people English, but the production and creation was a disaster. It was scrapped after a single dubbed season, so only season 1 was dubbed. This dub was produced by STUDIO FOKKO, named after the Pokemon Fennekin's Japanese name because Fennekin was the studio mascot.

It has no real relation to Japan or usage of English in Japanese, it simply redoes every voice (as well as the laugh track) with different words and voices. It appears to be unlicenced as Warner Bros has never addressed it. All of the actors and people involved from the dub come from America, the UK, Australia or Canada, and none of them even know Japanese, making the production and reason of creation a complete mystery. In fact, the only reason it is considered a Japanese English version is the fact the title is in Japanese and it aired on a Japanese channel. The intro is undubbed and all episode titles are the same except they lack the first 'the' (example, "The Big Bran Hypothesis" is changed to "Big Bran Hypothesis").

This dub aired on Haribo Junior Japan in the rare moments that weren't taken up by ナンバーファック, ノー・エスケープ and ビッグハウスファミリー. Given how popular these three shows were, this may have contributed to 大爆発の理論的考察~!!!!! B I G  B A N G  T H E O R Y's failure.

## Known voice actors and people involved

Only a few voice actors and people involved with the dub are known because the episodes that were dubbed used the original English credits with the dub credits sliding along the bottom too fast to be visible even with footage slowed down. These were only found because of an unlicenced DVD release of select episodes (more on that below) listing some people on the back. The credits that have been found are as follows, noting the strange name changes in the dub:

Sheldor - Kieran Sharpe

Lenerd - Aiden Richardson

Peni - Fiona Byers

Howerd - Isaac Larson

Laugh Track - Humphrey Hall, Molly Haines, Doug Barry, Alex Sierra

Audio Editors - Harold Smith, Brent Dixon

Script Adjustments - Maisie Pickett

## Reception

Nobody cared about 大爆発の理論的考察~!!!!! B I G  B A N G  T H E O R Y. Additionally, there are no Japanese people known to have learnt English from 大爆発の理論的考察~!!!!! B I G  B A N G  T H E O R Y. Therefore, it was considered a failure.

## Home media release

Strangely, a DVD release was made for 大爆発の理論的考察~!!!!! B I G  B A N G  T H E O R Y at an unknown date containing episodes 2-6. Just like the dub itself, the release was unlicenced. Only 500 copies were printed, and 499 of them were printed with issues with the navigation, startup and episode playback. One DVD reported to only display a Japanese warning screen without ever progressing, another reported to have menu buttons that played the wrong episodes, another had the first three episodes play the original English version and the last two the normal Japanese dub, and yet another reported the episodes played at 10 frames per second and the audio quality sounding as if it was underwater. One was even programmed with a non existent DVD region that no player, even region free ones, could play, so it is unwatchable. Nobody will know if that one had any more issues.

## Season 2 Episode 1

The company had plans to redub Season 2 of The Big Bang Theory, but due to the failure of Season 1, only the first episode of Season 2 was dubbed before the entire thing was scrapped. It broadcasted once on Haribo Junior Japan but only made it through the first half before it was interrupted by another airing of ノー・エスケープ. It is rumoured a DVD contains the episode in place of the last one, but that has no .
