باب اسفنجی (Persians of Mashhad)

Release history
باب اسفنجی was first released on DVD by Parsian Home Video under the distributor TDH Home Entertainment, beginning in. Dozens of DVDs have been released since. Each one has multiple random or themed episodes. As a result, some episodes have been dubbed twice, or in some cases, have different music and effects tracks on different DVDs. For the earlier DVDs, they seemed to dub episodes in batches, typically based on the US DVDs. For example, the 1st movie and the Where's Gary? DVD were a batch, the Pest of the West DVD was a batch, the Truth or Square DVD (minus The Card) was a batch, the Viking-Sized Adventures DVD (with The Card) was a batch, the SpongeBob's Last Stand DVD was a batch, and so on. Later on they dubbed random episodes as part of a batch. Glory Entertainment, Asia Resane Cinema Home Entertainment, Kimiya, and Javaneh Company have also released DVDs containing this dub.

Censorship


The dub has faced strict censorship with nearly every episode. Namely, scenes containing characters in bikini outfits are edited or cut. This practice has gained relative infamy due to the addition of proper clothing on these characters in some cases. Much of the censorship featured within a variety of these dubbed episodes is due to items of clothing (such as bikinis) being considered unorthodox in Iranian society due to Iran's Islamic law dictating much of Iran's society and government due to iran being a theocratic nation that goes by the laws and values of islam.
