1* ApprovalOfGod:
2** Music/MichaelBuble thought "Russian Unicorn" was hilarious.
3** Music/{{Gotye}} [[https://twitter.com/gotye/status/198394844203327492 tweeted the parody]] of his "Somebody That I Used To Know".

5** [[Music/OneDirection Harry Styles]] [[https://twitter.com/Harry_Styles/status/284452567109480450 loved 'Shadow Pico'.]]
6** Creator/ElizabethBanks enjoyed watching the [[Film/TheHungerGames Hunger Games]] BLR video... with [[Creator/JenniferLawrence none other than the lead actress herself]].
7--->Yup - she saw this, people. And she laughed. And so did I. A lot.
8** Creator/MarkHamill and Creator/CarrieFisher watched at least one of the Franchise/StarWars parodies (specifically, the one with Yoda's seagull song) and loved it, with the former even collaborating with BLR later on, providing the voice of an older Han Solo.
9** Creator/PedroPascal [[https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/250b3e2d_ba05_4adf_849d_6d74d68a235c.jpeg boasted]] that he accomplished one of his "career goals" when BLR turned ''Series/{{Narcos}}'' into ''Soy Pablo''.
10** Creator/LinManuelMiranda was already a fan before he got the BLR treatment [[https://x.com/lin_manuel/status/1551209056697720833?s=46&t=dAwoLzyiurHvGh16rPvJZg so this was a given.]]
11* CrossDressingVoices: The man behind BLR does most of the female voices.
12* {{Defictionalization}}: In "THE NFL", Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson asks a reporter if she has an orange peanut for him, and publicly accepts her when she says yes. After the video's release, a fan brought a giant orange peanut to a Vikings game and asked Peterson to sign it, which he did.
13* FollowTheLeader: Bad Lip Reading in other languages. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn7xzI64Ln4 It had to happen.]]
14** Bad Lip Reading itself is this to [[http://www.dayjoborchestra.com/ Dayjob Orchestra.]]
15** Creator/{{Tobuscus}}' Literal Trailer of ''Film/TheHungerGamesCatchingFire'' contained two scenes with Bad Lip Readings.
16* InspirationForTheWork: The anonymous creator of ''Bad Lip Reading'' got the inspiration for it from his deaf mother, who had learned how to read lips. He started trying it by watching TV with the sound off, but what he thought was being said was so hilariously inaccurate that...
17* ManOfAThousandVoices: Every single voice is performed by the same man. He's talented enough (and good enough at editing audio) that it's usually hard to tell, though it does sometimes become pretty clear.
18* TheMerch: [[http://badlipreading.spreadshirt.com/ Bad Lip Reading T-shirts exist!]]
19* ReclusiveArtist: The creator of the videos (who also does most of the voices himself) keeps his identity a secret since he doesn't want his Bad Lip Reading videos to clash with his more serious work. He has given an anonymous interview, which revealed that he's from Texas and that he was inspired to create the channel after he tried to read lips like his deaf mother did.
