I saw some hilarious dubbing in Belarus a few years ago when I was there for work. I was browsing the local channels and came across an old classic feauring Jean Claude van Damme. In a particularly ridiculous scene, he clearly goes "Noooooooooooooooo!" in an overly dramatic way. This got correctly dubbed with a very brief "njet". Indifferent dubbing is common all over eastern Europe apparently. The same guy just reading out the lines. Male/female voices, it doesn't matter. Just working his way through the lines not caring about the content. Thankfully, the Netherlands has no dubbed voices; only subtitles. As soon as I learned to read, I basically started picking up English from just passively reading what I just heard. It's a reason why English is so well understood in those parts of Europe that don't have dubbing. Even people without much education will be able to speak and understand it.
