Dub killed or improved the humor?

I dont really like subs and all the dubs Ive watched are pretty good. ^_^
Especially FMA ;3

Hellsing Ultimate
Not only it makes a bit more sense since the anime is suppose to be taking in England, but it sounds a bit funnier when things happen.

improved or at least stayed about the same:

Fullmetal Alchemist & Brotherhood
Angel Beats
Hetalia
Trigun
Baccano!
Durarara!!
One Piece
Hellsing Ultimate Ova's (the ones that have actually been translated are pretty good)
Nabari no Ou (when there was humor)

Ruined or was just better in Japanese:

Black Butler
Bleach, do like the english version, most of the voice actors were spot on to the japanese talent but in japanese other characters were less annoying more likable or more menacing same with.....
Naruto

with most anime its, either or, unless its a long running series. I will usually try the english version 1st just cause i feel like i might miss something either in the translation or the anime when watching subs

Improved: Rin: Daughters of Mnemosyne the translation for a lot of the jokes was better and less awkward. It's like the subtitles were too literal in translation so didn't make any sense.

Ga-Rei: Zero (except for episode 12) Hmm, well I wouldn't say they fully improved it because thinking back Funimation did actually screw up some of the translations for that show. They projected the wrong feelings for certain situations. But there are a few parts that did improve/make things funnier.

Murdered: K-ON! like seriously it's pitiful from BOTH Animax AND Bondai

Panty & Stocking with Garterbelt the voices just weren't made for that type of art style. I know they can't have minors doing it but Stocking's voice was too mature for her. Panty's voice was actually good for her but her Japanese voice actress had such a unique voice it's hard to compete with no matter what XD Plus their accents make swearing sound funnier. And because there's so much cussing in the show listening to the censored version is just "BEEP" the whole time. Though there is an uncensored version but meh....

Just an afterthought but I noticed a lot of people consider the dubs funnier and I think (for those of us that don't really know Japanese anyways) it's the fact that Japan has their own jokes just like any other country has their own so us Westerners might not get a joke that Japanese people would. You know what I mean? Or sometimes a familiar projection of words in one's own language make things funnier. But of course some shows are just not that great in Japanese even if you do speak it. Just a thought...

Better in English dub:

Hetalia ♥ The fact FUNimation used voice actors to act in a countries accent made the show hilarious! FUNimation's English dub of Hetalia has more humor to it as well.

Examples:

Sub: "I say we hit Italy first cause he's weak!"
Dub: "I say we hit Italy first cause they can't drive and their usually drunk!"

Sub: "I hate winter so much!"
Dub: Winter can suck on my jungle bells!"

As for an anime dub that killed the humor,

Panty and Stocking With Garterbelt ♥

In the first 20 seconds of the dub I noticed there was already a part that was cut out but kept in the sub. I don't know if that's a FUNimtaion thing or not but that scene didn't deserve to be cut. Considering the fact that scene wasn't really inappropriate imagine what other scene's would be cut out! (Because Panty & Stocking is extremely inappropriate xD)

As for the voices, I don't think dub worked for this series.

I enjoyed in the sub how both the girls would swear in English even though they're Japanese!

And the voices, just, I'm not sure... I just didn't feel the joy of watching it in dub rather then sub.

The humor? I did find that special "FUNimation touch" to their episodes.
But I still found the sub to be better in other ways.

Also, Hearing a "BEEP" every few minutes didn't make the anime better...

The only anime that I prefer dub of is Hetalia, which shows their accents more than in sub :) So, I think Hetalia's dub is an improvement.

In dub, I found Hetalia and Black Lagoon to be a hell of a lot more entertaining, but most others just kill it for me, Ouran Highschool Host Club was the only other tolerable one, and even so I preferred the sub.

Amazing shows like Clannad, Angel Beats, and Elfen Lied I found to be completely ruined by the dubs.

Improved:
Hetalia~
Black Butler
Angel Beats!
FMA

Ruined:
Elfen Lied (although that's not too HUMOROUS is it...)
Ookami-san to Shichinin no Nakama-Tachi
Panty and Stocking with Garterbelt

....I'm not good at thinking of these things

i say it depends on which language you can understand but i can speak so i cant say anything

I generally love dubs and there's only been one anime where I had to watch in subs and that is Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles.

I don't really watch subs only when I have too because for either they haven't dubbed the rest or they stopped dubbing them. For me I think the Dubs improve the humor like for Baka and Test and Ouran I thought the comedy was better in the dubs than the subs , to me the dubs make it funnier than it's supposed to be and for a show like Black Butler I think it's better with the British accents than the Japanese voices. And for a show like FMA:Brotherhood I would prefer Ed's voice to sound more like a man than a woman
