As far as I know, Curiosity Company missed its chance to have a quality check on translations written into the localization contracts. The dubbing is done by local studios in the according nation. Be happy that you aren't listening to the German version where Hermes (and I think, Amy) don't have any accent while He (Ivar Combrink) also puts in/replaces 'jokes' and manages to confuse awful/awesome, boring/drilling and lots of other things. Futurama is a lost cause on this one as the dubbing that went onto the DVDs has been done a long time ago already. Unlikely that they would pay for a complete overhaul now.

Hehe. In Belgium we only use subtitles, and even those are often so wrong you wonder whether the translators even know English. Whenever the word "mob" comes up they almost always manage to pick the wrong translation: mafia vs crowd. Which sometimes is kinda funny. ;-)
