Exactly! The translators did such a fantastic job over all. I would have imagined that kind of humor to be untranslatable.

Same with the Muppets, whoever translated that show was doing an amazing job.

Yup, even as a kid I could tell the translators also had to be comedic geniuses too. I would constantly be marveling at the names, and how they were only a joke that made sense in English.
