Fan dubs are irreverent gemstones that help bridge the gap between anime released in America and Japan. Japan is usually way ahead of the translated versions in America, and fans that get stuck on a cliffhanger sometimes just can't wait to find out what happens next. Looking at fan dubs is more sensible than having to wait 3 years and paying $59.99 for three episodes. Sadly, seeing a fan dub might leave one more confused and disappointed than if they were to see the untranslated Japanese version.
Another use for fan dubs is parody work or tributes of sorts. Surely, nothing is more hilarious than casting your puberty-entrenched middle school class as the cast of Evangelion! And surely we can all enjoy people being RANDOM!!!!1!1 and saying out of character, dumb shit in cartoon-like voices for hundreds of hours across the entire lifespan of an anime series? The answer is no - what the fuck is wrong with you, haven't you tortured us all enough by wearing your Naruto headband in public? Why don't you take your stupid PC microphone and sit on it and spin!
A fan dub differs from a fan sub in that a person records their voice over top of the original actors', whereas in a fan sub, the sound is not altered but a translation of the conversation is written along the bottom of the screen.
