Counted from the reviewers’ own thumbs up/down on the 179 English Steam reviews we collected, not by the AI. Valve’s all-language rating: Very Positive (394 of 431 positive).
Players find it a hilarious party game similar to Jackbox, where you dub over old clips. [1][2][3] Workshop support and new clips greatly enhance the experience. [4][5][6] Some are disappointed by the lack of voice recording and technical issues. [7][8][9]

I have to leave a negative review unfortunately for one reason, the name "What The Dub!" implies you will be dubbing the voice overs, but instead you are using text-to-speech and in game SFX to make your dub. The game itself is OK at best, but the title is very misleading

If you're reading this. Do yourself a favour and buy the game. The developer has been comitted to this for many years and continues to bring new clips and new features to what is essentially the best party game on the market. Jack Box games gives you variety, this gives you non stop laughs. I've played this game for longer than most I would imagine and for me and my 5 friends, there is nothing that can make us all …

What the dub is a really great game. It's similar to jackbox games where players use their controllers to play and then try to come up with funny quips and vote for the best one. In this game (and it's sequel rifftrax) you watch a video clip typically from an old movie, and the clip has a space with missing dialogue. Your job is to add dialogue to the scene by typing it out on your phone. You can also add music or …

What the Dub is a great game for groups of friends who enjoy Jackbox style party games. It's a one trick pony but it's a good trick; you type in your dubbed line, it reads it out, and everyone votes on which was funniest. Is it funny? (Are your friends?) Is it obscene? (Are your friends?) Is it drunk? (Are your friends?) If you can bring a little bit of wit, this game shines. If you're all feeling a little bit tired …

Having workshop support in this game makes the experience so much better.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →If my group had to rebuild the lobby for any reason (such as the game crashing, which happened in 1 of the 2 games our group played), some of us could not connect to the new lobby. It would just say "connecting" indefinitely and never actually load. We switched to the Rifftrax game (also made by Wide Right Interactive) and it did the exact same thing after our first game. We tried wifi and our phones' network plans, cleared cache and cookies on our browsers, restarted my phone, restarted my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a fun party game...if I had friends for a party! :( The Workshop is recommended for more clips through mods. Playing vanilla is just public domain/old tyme/b-movie clips(which is still fun as this is still legit MST3000 the Party Game!)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Over a month into the 24/7 experiment (450 days left!) and today’s lineup is 🔥: Starting with makeup + chats, then cleaning and prepping for a 4pm PST cooking stream. After? Community gaming with tiny jumpscares, Mario Kart 8 and What The Dub and more?? Let’s cook, chat, and game—come hang out 💙
neutral · AI labelView post →At first i was super dissappointed that you couldnt dub the clips yourself with your actual voices, but when i found out you can add sound effects it became the funniest thing that's ever happened to me.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wish I had known about the hoops you have to go thru. This is basically for streamers and I have no interest. Download an actual app that does something so they can see the clips you're showing to vote at a website..... Thank you for having the decency not to charge a stupid amount. I got it for under 3 bucks but I could have saved that and just watched a streamer play it while I go to a website and Crack jokes.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great party game, but i initially expected it to allow you to record your own dubs and i still feel like that'd be a good feature. Nice experience nonetheless, 8/10

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →What The Dub?! is a party game built around a simple but highly effective idea: take awkward footage from B-movies, outdated public service announcements, and strange industrial films, remove part of the dialogue, and allow players to write their own replacement lines. Developed by Wide Right Interactive, Mark Zorn, and Kurt Wojda and published by Wide Right Interactive, it turns old-fashioned footage into a framework for improvisational comedy. Instead of relying on traditional objectives,…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →HEY YOU, yes you reading this, have you ever wondered what would happen if kahoot and cards against humanity were fused together, this is the game for you. fun,stupid, and it enables your friends too much. cost effective and steam workshop makes it both affordable and funny enough to where you may black out from laughing
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →While the concept is fun and the results got some laughs with those I played with, it lacks the polish the similar Jackbox games have. The game would sometimes kick us out for no apparent reason when a Jackbox title would not. Additionally, the inability to actually record some lines and have them play back over a clip keeps this as a decent game you may play 2-3 times rather than the party game classic it has the potential to be.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Only had one session with this and I honestly can’t remember the last time I nearly died from laughter. I’m a total sucker for subtitling movies in languages I don’t understand, so this felt instantly familiar, but here you’re dubbing over parts of English-language movie clips instead, with the added twist of throwing in some pre-existing SFX. Absolutely love it and can’t recommend it enough… assuming you have friends, of course. If not, well ... sad.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →better than ANY jackbox game, 11/10
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I don't have a gaming system but I was just thinking... Yes I actually use my head for more than just a hat rack... What if some of us here got together and did some kind of a game night ? Games like, JackBox games or What The Dub? I don't know I was just thinking tossing out ideas

Easy to Set Up: Only one person needs to own the game, making it very accessible for groups. Hilarious Scenes: The clips chosen for dubbing are entertaining and leave plenty of room for creative humor. Cons: Language Barrier: All scenes are in English, so players need a decent understanding of the language to fully enjoy the jokes and participate…
