Characters
All characters speak standard French, with the exception of Apu (who has an Indian acccent), Carl (speaks inflected French) and Kirk Van Houten (has a stereotypical Belgian (Brussels) accent due to his surname). Sideshow Bob and Sideshow Mel become Tahiti Bob and Tahiti Mel, respectively. Santa's Little Helper becomes "Petit Papa Noël", the name a French Christmas song meaning "Little Father Christmas".
Translation
For the duration of the series, animation has remained the same, with English text being subtitled or spoken by a character. The only exception to this was the chalkboard gag, shared by both dubs.
Voice actors

| Character | French Voice | Season |
|---|---|---|
| Homer Simpson | Phillippe Peythieu | All |
| Marge Simpson | Véronique Augereau | All |
Quebec
Characters
All characters speak Quebec French with a strong Québécois accent, except the town's elite (e.g. Principal Skinner and Reverend Lovejoy, who speak International French) and ethnic minorities also have different accents. Apu speaks creole while Carl has a African or Caribbean Black immigrant accent. Santa's Little Helper becomes "Le p'tit renne au nez rouge", the French for the song Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer.
Cultural references
American cultural and political jokes are occasionally replaced with local references (e.g. Newt Gingrich reference replaced with a Mike Harris reference). Also American TV shows and films are often changed to reference Québécois ones (e.g. Homer goes form watching CSI:Miami to watching Fortier). The word "English" is often changed to the word "French". A more specific change was in "Midnight RX", where the stereotypical English Canadian spoke French and the stereotypical French Canadian spoke English. In another episode English Canadians were given a stereotypical American accent, despite the main characters not having this.
Translation
For a while the animation was not changed, with English text being subtitled or spoken by a character. The only exception to this was the chalkboard gag, shared by both dubs. In later episodes text was changed as well ("Co-Dependent's Day's" "Cosmic Wars" became "La guerre de l'espace").
Voice actors
A team of voice actors dub two episodes a day. In general they also voice the celebrities.
Airing
The Quebec dub airs on Télétoon.
