dubbed - dub

A dub is an alternative title or soundtrack for a movie or TV show.

When people talk about dubs, they often mean that someone has created their own version of something, like a funny voiceover or background music. For example, if you're watching a cartoon on YouTube, the creator might add their own voice as a "dub" to make it funnier for English speakers. It's not just limited to video content – in some countries, TV shows are dubbed into different languages so people can understand them better. This way, the original voices and language aren't used, but new ones are added on top of the same footage or audio.
