Censorship

  • In Nick India airing of "Ripped Pants", every time SpongeBob rips his pants, it is completely blurred, however on ETV Bal Bharat it's not.[2]
  • "The Executive Treatment" was banned from airing on Nick India and Nick HD+ due to the green eel being considered scary to children.
  • Unsurprisingly, the scene from "That's No Lady"— where Patrick strips and gets naked— was cut on Nick India and Nick HD+, and replaced with Mr. Krabs gaping in shock.
  • In many episodes, the boob in "SpongeBoob" (a mispronunciation of SpongeBob) is censored.

Trivia

  • This dub went into a hiatus after Season 10 as Viacom18 is no longer affiliated with Paramount (meaning that they cannot get any new Nick content from them) and ETV Bal Bharat (who currently has the rights to the series) only airs seasons 1-10.
  • Starting from season 9, some of the characters were recast in the Nick HD+ dub. For example, Amar Babaria and Rajesh Jolly (the Hindi voice actors for Patrick and Squidward respectively) were both replaced by Rajesh Shukla.
  • In the episodes "Truth or Square" and "It's a SpongeBob Christmas!", the theme song is undubbed.
  • In season 3, the theme song is pal-pitched.
  • For unknown reasons, ETV Bal Bharat produced their own dub of some episodes from season 2 and all of season 7 onward, despite them already having the Nick HD+ Hindi dub.
    • Interestingly, the re-dubbed season 2 episodes and the re-dubbed episodes of season 7-9 use completely different voice casts from one another and are presumably done by different studios, despite being ordered by the same channel in the same time period.
      • Season 10 also had another recasting and change of studio.

Errors

Textless logo in Nick India.
  • "Texas" and/or "Walking Small" once aired on Nick India[3] (along with Nicktoons UK), without the show's logo at the end of the theme song.
