Every so often I see it brought up as being so edgy and funny, but it’s really not. There are a few moments that are funny, but they’re packed between racism, ableism, and really any kind of -ism you can imagine. It gets defended as “just a shitpost” from the same crowd that talks about the glory days of people not being so easily offended. I rewatched a compilation before posting this just to be sure of my critique and it’s exactly as I remembered lol. Nothing but attack helicopter tier jokes. Some people say if you didn’t watch it in the 2000s you won’t get it, but I’ve seen shows from the 2000s that are actually good and funny 
Anyway, I’m convinced most people who talk about how funny it is haven’t seen anything beyond clips. It’s just lazy and boring

European Portuguese DBZ dub but if it was just unfunny jokes instead of bizarre and funny.
Fuckin vibrato Dodoria and Ginyu lmao
It’s a fucking weird dub full of references to stuff from Portugal and bad choices for voice actors. Seems like GT and the OG Dragon Ball have normal European Portuguese dubs tho.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Yeah. It was funny to watch once because it was so absurd and unexpected, but it was funny because it was absurd, not because the jokes landed. Like an animated train wreck.
It’s funny seeing people hate on ghost stories but defend cumtown on the same site
I have all of the same criticisms of cumtown lol
They’re not the same people. I love Cumtown AND the Ghost Stories dub.
Hey, cumtown at least has a bunch of funny bits in addition to the racist ones:

Yeah I watched it for fun recently and it’s mostly just reactionary shock humour, I only got through the first couple episodes when the novelty wore off
I think I’ve only ever seen it as a clip show of the most absurd bits.
If you’ve seen Scary Movie, it’s the same sort of humor from that era. It isn’t just shows from the 2000s, it’s being a Millennial child in the 2000s that made it palatable.
Rewatching it now is really ugly. Kind of like that Marge Simpson story where her story is really gross, bizarre, and bigoted - a reference to the caricature of Apu - where you’d just find it severely distasteful.

I am an elder millennial and I fucking hated Scary Movie even when it first came out. One of the only times I walked out of a theater mid-showing.
I’ve only seen clips. I have a feeling the montage was good enough for me. It had the initial surprise and shock and I’m sure would wear off quickly.
It was edgy and funny when I didn’t know what humor was but these days it’s only good for the couple of clips and one liners that everyone always passes around as “wow so funny show”
yeah i rewatched it a few months ago because i remember some of it being funny but i think there’s maybe five jokes that aren’t just bigoted. can’t imagine watching the full show, the clips i’ve seen on youtube are more than enough

Compare this to Sword Art Online Abridged, which just ends up being better written than actual Sword Art Online
I’ve seen like four episodes of the Ghost Stories dub and honestly yeah. I did make a note that I wanted to continue Ghost Stories “eventually”, for some unknown reason, but it did stand out to me that the Ghost Stories dub is considerably less funny or interesting outside of the handful of most shared clips.
While on the subject of anime that are better enjoyed as clips, I think I also gave this label to Nichijou and Wataten: the former basically because it’s already structured as a series of largely disconnected vignettes, so it might’ve been even more GOATed if the pacing was left up to the viewer; the latter because if your only knowledge of Wataten comes from clips, you get to live blissfully unaware of the fact that the main character is a pedophile.
