[[http://www.youtube.com/user/BadLipReading Bad Lip Reading]] is a YouTube channel that takes music videos of pop songs and writes their own original songs designed to match the lip movements of the people in the video, with [[WordSaladLyrics little to no regard for making sense]]. Usually substantial editing of the original video is also involved. They got their start in March 2011 with "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GaKaGwch0U Gang Fight]]", a GagDub of Rebecca Black's notorious viral video "[[{{Music/Friday}} Friday]]", which took a song about having fun on the weekend and made it into a song about gang warfare and chicken. Most of their songs execute a similar dramatic shift in style and theme from the original.
Thanks to an [[http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/11/bad_lip_reading.php anonymous interview]], we now know that BLR is produced by a single man in Texas, a "music producer, songwriter, and musician," but his identity remains a mystery. His songs are being sold completely legally on iTunes (being original works) but the videos may yet fall victim to copyright claims (as "Dirty Spaceman" already has). A few, like "Trick the Bridesmaid," are based on public domain works and so safe from takedowns.
So far BLR has released the following songs:

!!Tropes appearing in Bad Lip Reading clips ([[{{YMMV/BadLipReading}} Subjective Tropes Here]]):
* AboveTheInfluence: Alejandro, who is brave, and dapper, and '''''NOT DRUNK!!'''''
* AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle: Although most of their lyrics are quite natural, BLR is sometimes guilty of this, as in this line from "Russian Unicorn":
-->I want to '''shave''' that mustache and then '''have''' gelato!
** From Black Umbrella:
---> "I'ma get dumb and bang a wiz'''ard'''!"
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: MichaelBuble loved "Russian Unicorn." And Gotye thought "Kicked Your Monkey" was good enough to pass on via {{Twitter}}.
** Judging by the comments, Ron Paul supporters, a notoriously touchy contingent, appeared to have this reaction when he got the BLR treatment.
* AdaptationDistillation: Some of BLR's videos are taken from more than one song. For instance, "Morning Dew" is taken from ''three'' songs, "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars, "Alejandro" by Lady Gaga and "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys
* AdaptationExpansion: "That Should Be Me" was divided [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0GutrcKbRM into]] ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXotGSe_JE two]]'' Bad Lip Readings.
* TheAlcoholic: Nicki Minaj, according to "Dirty Spaceman":
-->But I'm feeling fine
-->I'm on bottle 99
** Also, Rebecca Black's friend in "Gang Fight"; she's bombed, by the way.
** TaylorSwift is also "un-sober."
** MichaelBuble drinks fire water.
** Double Take in "Time To Rock": "I have to drink, and that'll make it good."
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Expect any artist appearing in a song to end up a ''lot'' less innocent than their ordinary public image. [[invoked]]
** Music/RebeccaBlack becomes a violent gang member who associates with neo-Nazis.
** MileyCyrus and TaylorSwift both become party girls into drugs and drinking, respectively.
--> '''Miley Cyrus:''' "And I'm pregnant."
** [[BlackEyedPeas Fergie]]'s got "bowel issues."
** [[RascalFlatts Gary LeVox]] is a BigEater, and possibly also a CloudCuckooLander.
** Who knew [[BeeGees Barry Gibb]] was [[TooKinkyToTorture masochistic]]?
** And MichaelBuble is an outright MemeticSexGod (or at least the god of bad roommates), a BigEater and possibly an AgentMulder.
---> "If your body's a secret girl, then you about to spill it"
** The trend is ''inverted'' in "Rockin' All Night Long" when Wiz Khalifa is revealed to be the DoggedNiceGuy for Taylor.
---> "Damn, I got carsick by the swings, [[NeverLiveItDown and she see me dry heaving on the interstate]]"
** James Blunt, meanwhile, is a NightmareFuelStationAttendant who hates dogs.
** Newt Gingrich is a drugged-up party animal with a panty fetish and possible criminal connections.
** Gotye is an unapologetic animal abuser.
* {{Angrish}}: apl.de.ap in "Everybody Poops":
--> And I hate those greenish potatoes with them '''soggy fish sticks!''' '''''AAA!!!'''''
* AnythingButThat: Herman Cain has a deep-seated fear of spiders. And big potato moths. Big potato moths!
* ArtifactTitle: Usually averted.
** The name "Dirty Spaceman" [[PragmaticAdaptation actually justifies the sci-fi setting]]) - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii5IUihNuno Black Umbrella]] is only ''implied'' to be a new weed ie. "the right stuff", and we're never certain if the Russian Unicorn, like those left-nut-targeting monsters, ever existed (this may be justified by the whole video being an ImagineSpot).
** As a [=YouTube=] comment points out, the toxic waste barrels in "Boom Boom Pow" make more sense if they're filled with poop.
* AssShove: Poor Joe Biden.
--> "My friends want to shave my behind. They're putting ants into my behind! There's a parakeet ''on my behind!'' '''Why are you people clapping?!''' Thick concrete is ''up my behind!'' ...Pikachu!!!"
* AutoTune: Mostly in "Everybody Poops" and "Dirty Spaceman".
* BadassBoast: Wiz Khalifa's "I'm an [[AlchemyIsMagic alchemist]], the beat is my base metal." (re. "Rockin' All Night Long")
** Jay-Z's "[[StarWars I'm Han, you're Greedo]]" definitely counts.
** From Michelle Bachmann: "If I assault you, your arm wouldn't defend you. It's better to not do it."
** Gotye's "I'm fighting with ninja gloves"
* BeastlyBloodsports: The lyric "I'm gonna find a chicken fight" in "Everybody Poops".
* BeAWhoreToGetYourMan: from "Rockin' All Night Long":
-->You can always count on me to show those other girls just how to lay it down down down
-->Every girl get they freak on please, you are the one that can bring him to his knees
* BerserkButton: Greenish potatoes and soggy fishsticks for apl.de.ap (re. "Everybody Poops")
** Mind your manners when you're on {{Ludacris}}' mountain, [[DisproportionateRetribution or you will be shot.]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous Twice.]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice And your corpse looted.]]
** [[spoiler:If the ghetto hobbit with an Uzi is around, that is.]]
* BigEater: Their AlternateCharacterInterpretation of Rascal Flatts' Gary [=LeVox=] seems to be this. "Hot Jumping Beans" is about food to begin with, but while Music/JustinBieber mainly sticks to the topic of beans, [=LeVox=] keeps bringing up other kinds of food ("Baaaaaaccoooonnnn! Yeah, whoo... ham").
** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_jumping_bean Justin has...interesting culinary tastes.]]
** Deconstructed in "Russian Unicorn":
---> "I should not have ate those Cajun rice and beans... [[AesopAmnesia Them strawberries look juicy]]"
** Also seems to apply to Rick Perry in his soundbite, where he spontaneously lists food and proclaims that he is "bored by famine."
** Obama in Trick the Bridesmaids lists food America has been short on.
* BilingualBonus: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjaZNYSt7o0 "Russian Unicorn"]] -- 'Российский единорог' is a literal Russian translation of the name for the eponymous creature.
* BodySnatcher: Gotye in ''Kicked Your Monkey''
-->"I'm body snatching you and I'ma change your diaper"
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: From (Rockin') All Nite Long;
--> Whiz Khalifa: Bring me potatoes, and meat, and greens, and weed
** "Dirty Spaceman" gives us "River deep, mountain high, shave my pubes".
** "Beard With Glue" has a very jarring one:
--> I saw your friends drowning in blood.
* BrickJoke: At the meta level - NickiMinaj brings up the name "Alejandro" in "Dirty Spaceman", and 2 videos later, "Alejandro" becomes the first Music/LadyGaga video used by BLR.
* ButYouScrewOneGoat: "I kicked your monkey/then I used your goat!"
* CallBack: At the end of "Russian Unicorn", a muzak version of "Everybody Poops" can be heard playing in the background.
** Ludacris actually [[ShoutOut shouting out]] "Gang FIGHT!" in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmobkT8IuxM "Magic Man"]]. The intro for "Gang Fight" can be heard in some later videos as a reverse-VanityPlate.
** And "Magic Man" brings up windmills, right after "Black Umbrella" did.
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Rick Santorum:
-->The first time I drank, I had my shoes under my arm. Because I mean I was ''so'' sick, I mean, ''so'' barftastic. I puked on the pizza.
* ClearMyName: Ludacris denies shooting the hobbit on his mountain, claiming it was a ghetto hobbit with an uzi.
* CloudCuckooLander: Most of the people who get the BLR treatment come out this way.
* ComicSutra: The "Mary Lunch Limbo", a favorite maneuver of Newt Gingrich, involving [[NoodleImplements four porpoises and a wet Nigerian]].
* CoolPet: MichaelBuble's pet porcupine, Zazoom.
* CoolSword: MileyCyrus' plasma sword. [[FridgeBrilliance She's Padawan material, y'know.]]
* CrossdressingVoices As noted earlier, BLR is all the work of one man, which means he ends up gag-dubbing with female voices a lot. Though there's probably some studio trickery involved, his female singing voice is pretty convincing.
* CrossoverCosmology: [[TheLordofTheRings Hobbits]] and [[StarWars Padawans]] are both apparently well-known real beings in the Bad Lip Reading 'verse.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Songs about fun and partying become songs about gang warfare and drugs.
* DirtyOldMan: Newt Gingrich, who also has this reputation in RealLife.
* DisproportionateRetribution: "Everybody Poops":
-->You'll never find a human that steals school supplies
-->And if you do
-->Let me know who (who)
-->And I'll beat him down.
** will.i.am will also beat you down if you make eye contact with him, because that's not scary.
** A weird witch gagged Rick Santorum for swearing and having porn.
* EatsBabies: Nicki Minaj, in "Dirty Spaceman" would "love to eat a bag of children" and "cook 'em 'over easy' on a Monday"
* EpicRocking: "Morning Dew."
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Special mention must be made of the RickSantorum video for getting this over with ''in the first line''.
--> [[InsaneTrollLogic "I'm crazy... and I'm right."]]
* EverythingsBetterWithChickens: Chickens seem to be a recurring theme...
** Arguably, so are beans, as of Russian Unicorn.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Apparently there weren't enough of them in the "Lazy Song" clips, so Jay-Z brought his own. (re. "Morning Dew").
** Inverted in "Beard With Glue", in which a costumed gorilla ate Ben.
*** Although a gorilla is technically not a monkey.
**** This might be why Double Take hates gorillas.
** Gotye [[KickTheDog kicked one]] right before he [[ButYouScrewOneGoat used a goat.]]
* EvilLaugh: Mitt Romney has one.
-->I'm very good company. [=EhahahahahAHAHAHAHAHA=]!
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The premise at least; the actual songs, not so much.
* FollowTheLeader: Bad Lip Reading in other languages. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn7xzI64Ln4 It had to happen.]]
* FreezeFrameBonus: The still of Ludacris and his "magic goose" in "Magic Man" (shown right after the "Gang Fight" CallBack). It's shown just long enough to register, but the pause button is needed to make out the funnier details.
** Also, in "(Rockin') All Nite Long", once TaylorSwift appears to be checking her armpit odor, "sniff" appears on the screen for a very short time. [[BrickJoke Turns out it corresponds to a later verse where shes sniffing a flower.]]
** Happens again in "Dirty Spaceman", with a reflection of the Dirty Spaceman in the tv screen before it's switched on, and will.i.am edited to look like a pink bunny at 3:23.
** Yet again in "Morning Dew," with a monkey appearing on Jay-Z's shoulder at 1:41. The still of Jay-Z edited to look like Han Solo might also count, but it's up for a bit longer than most such shots.
*** There's also a shot around 3:23 where BrunoMars holds up a picture he drew of a pink ice castle, a green hotdog, and 'three light snacks.'
* FriendlyEnemy: Bruno Mars is gonna send flowers to all his foes.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Listen to the background chatter at the end of "Russian Unicorn".
-->'''Girl 1:''' [[spoiler: Did he say he drinks fire water?]]
-->'''Girl 2:''' [[spoiler: He thinks monsters are trying to get his testicles.]]
* GagDub: As applied to pop music and politicians.
* GenreShift: BLR has shifted from music videos to politicians.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Taylor Swift from "Rockin' All Nite Long":
--> And I wanna have fun
--> Un-sober, I'm thinking you could hook me up
--> With a bottle of Platinum Patron
* HotterAndSexier: BLR's naughty reinterpretations of Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and Michael Bublé have left many YouTube commenters finding them more attractive than before, despite all video clips being taken straight from the original videos.
** Considering the nature of Bad Lip Reading means [[FridgeBrilliance people are going to focus on their lips...]]
* HumiliationConga:
--> '''Music/LadyGaga:''' "A midget said "[[FetishFuel Speak with an accent]]", so I did, just so I could steal his Porsche [[BondageIsBad while he was tied to a stake...]] [[KickTheDog in the rain]]"
* {{Hypocrite}}: Mitt Romney makes multiple YourMom statements... But he doesn't want his son speaking bad about his mother, even ''if'' he's a party rapper.
* HypocriticalHumor: Rick Perry cracks up at the nonsensical statements made by his opponents during debates, when he did the same thing in RealLife.
* ImAHumanitarian: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MufJJ9Yj8Mw "Dirty Spaceman"]]: "I'd love to eat a bag of children, cook 'em over easy on a Monday"
* ImplausibleDeniability: After [[ToiletHumor soiling his underwear]], Michael Bublé blames everyone but himself:
--> The guy behind you just soiled his underwear. Umm... maybe ''you'' did it. Hey, that's okay, girl!
* IntercourseWithYou: "Russian Unicorn".
* KindheartedCatLover: Rick Santorum borrowed meat to provide for his puddy tat.
* LiteralMusicVideo: Although not strict literal music videos, many of the lyrics are inspired by things going on in the video, like in "Black Umbrella (The Right Stuff)": "Dude's so crazy, he tryin' to sell me hubcaps."
** "Kicked Your Monkey" does this deliberately to fill a segment left lyric-less in the original.
* LyricalDissonance
* MagicalNegro: Ludacris in "Magic Man", of course.
* ManOfAThousandVoices: In [[http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/11/bad_lip_reading.php an anonymous interview with the Village Voice]], the man behind the videos claims to do all the voices himself, including the female ones.
--> "I play all the parts and sing all the vocals. Even the girl parts are me. It's a party-trick of mine: I can do a girl voice. I used to call up my friends and speak in the girl voice and they wouldn't know who it was. It's just a thing I can do. But there's also some electronic trickery involved."
* TheMerch: [[http://badlipreading.spreadshirt.com/ Bad Lip Reading T-shirts exist!]]
* NobodyPoops: {{Subverted}}. [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman Unless you're an android]], [[DisproportionateRetribution in which case, you should be destroyed]].
** And Fergie's got "bowel issues".
* NoodleIncident: It took forever to get a ghost out of Nicki Minaj's house, that stupid poltergeist!
** Barack Obama's college had one man who made goats tell time (Trick the Bridesmaid)
* ObligatoryBondageSong: The Bee Gees' parts of "Magic Man".
* OneOfUs: Mitt Romney is apparently quite a gamer.
* OneSteveLimit: Leaving out the NickiMinaj bits in "Magic Man" while she gets due focus in "Dirty Spaceman" seems influenced by this trope. Averted with two JustinBieber videos out (though the second seems like a deliberate followup to the first).
* OnlySaneMan: In the Newt Gingrich clip, Michele Bachmann comes across as this during the debate.
* {{Parody}}: (Or satire, depending on your point of view) Either one is protected under United States fair use law and BLR makes an effort to present the video clips differently from the original video, potentially to avoid copyright violations. Whether this works is yet to be determined.
** "Gang Fight" fast forwarded through the part of the "Friday" video where Rebecca Black sang the infamous "Yesterday it was Thursday..." lines and goes straight to the rapper in the car, apparently because they didn't write anything for that part of the video. This makes "Gang Fight" about 40 seconds shorter than the original video.
** The images for "Everybody Poops" are flipped from the original version of "Boom Boom Pow" and the part where Fergie sings "People in the place..." is used twice in "Everybody Poops" so she can be seen singing "When I'm on the pot..." twice.
** Clips from rap videos are inserted into "Black Umbrella (The Right Stuff)" and "(Rockin') All Nite Long", both parodies of songs not containing any rapping. Of special note, the clips of Wiz Khalifa come from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWAGLkyxQG0 "Black and Yellow"]] which ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin actually were black and yellow]]'' but have been tinted blue here.
** "Magic Man" actually ''omits'' all of NickiMinaj's footage from the original, in favor of the apparently random BeeGees clips from "Too Much Heaven".
** "Dirty Spaceman" is edited so that it appears you are watching the video via a monitor on the ship of the Dirty Spaceman.
*** It didn't stop UMG from taking it down, though.
** Putting certain words on screen may also be an effort to ensure the videos are recognized as parody.
** "Russian Unicorn" appears to be the least altered from the original, although it does have the usual BLR trope of putting certain phrases on the screen.
** At the other end of the scale, since "Morning Dew" has clips from three videos, it would be the ''most'' altered of all the BLR vidoes.
** "Beard With Glue" adds around another 40 seconds to the video by reversing the part where JamesBlunt empties his pockets, making it look like after he puts everything out, he puts them back into his pockets, and then puts them out again. The video also uses a similar "watching from a screen" technique like from "Dirty Spaceman", except there are multiple screens, as shown in the beginning and end.
** "Kicked Your Monkey" does this very subtly, adding a strobe effect to ''just'' the border, which melds perfectly with the new Eurobeat sound so you don't even notice it's there at first.
* PizzaBoySpecialDelivery: Bruno Mars seems to be "delivering" for Lady Gaga in "Morning Dew".
* PropRecycling: Invoked. Some videos have an obviously CGI plasma TV with a BLR brand name inserted.
* RashomonStyle: In "Magic Man", who ''did'' kill that hobbit?
* RealitySubtext: Given TaylorSwift's penchant for {{Take That}}s, starting the chorus with "all y'all haters stop your noise" becomes less random.
** "Asian Baby" has Music/JustinBieber mentioning that he was in Korea, which would have happened for real if 4chan had their way.
* RuleOfFunny: The only way to explain the random lyrics that are sung when the video is not currently focused on the singing. For example, in "Black Umbrella", the lines about the Padawan and Tiny Timmy Tokyo both come up when the camera is not on Miley Cyrus' face.
* SampledUp: Invoked for "Magic Man" with the BeeGees.
* SecretIdentity: As noted above, the man behind BLR is hiding his real name, reportedly "because he doesn't want the levity of the Bad Lip Reading series to impact his more serious work."
* ShownTheirWork: Yes, that is a real graph of the inverse cosine in "Black Umbrella (The Right Stuff)".
** The new voices for SnoopDogg and will-i-am are ''disturbingly'' spot on. It should be noted that [[WeirdAlEffect Gary LeVox's ISN'T.]]
*** Their Jay-Z sounds good enough that you'd swear it ''was'' him.
*** Their MileyCyrus voice is pretty darn good too, especially in the talking segments (the diet Snapple part and "And I'm pregnant").
** Why is Wiz Khalifa edited into Taylor Swift's video? It might be because the Pittsburgh Pirates logo on the T-shirt he's wearing has been altered to replace the word "PIRATES" with "TAYLOR." But BLR didn't do that. It was shown that way in Khalifa's original video (The Pirate's face was also altered).
** When BLR added their own hands to footage of Lady Gaga in "Morning Dew", there was a tattoo of a peace sign on the left wrist. Lady Gaga actually has a tattoo like this.
* ShoutOut:
** In "Magic Man", They talk about [[TheHobbit someone killing a hobbit]], then TheBeeGees come across the body and [[TheLordOfTheRings sell the ring on his finger for $200]]
** From the same song, "I ain't see no hobbits in StarWars"
** Hobbits appear again in "Trick the Bridesmaid" (and Obama is a witness for them)
** From "Black Umbrella (The Right Stuff)": "Oh my gosh, there's never gonna be a better [[StarWars Padawan]] than me."
** Star Wars seems to come up a lot, since "Dirty Spaceman" has the line "Angel Mouth ate my Jedi Jello". The same song also refers to {{Gumby}}, TinaTurner, [[TheFly Brundlefly]] and a {{Re-Animator}}.
** And now "Morning Dew" has Jay-Z rapping "[[HanShotFirst I'm Han, you're Greedo.]]" With an appropriately photoshopped picture of Jay-Z. And with a later CallBack in a manipulated Lady Gaga clip.
** Gotye joins in the ''Star Wars'' love... except he's "working with the Sith".
** And let's not forget Joe Biden's [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} "PIKACHU!"]]
** From "High School": [[{{Deliverance}} "That's a banjo!"]]
* SignatureSong: "Gang Fight." "Russian Unicorn" is also a contender.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: BLR takes on a RippedFromTheHeadlines approach with spoken-word videos. "Beard with Glue" could also count, being devoid of the usual hiphop flavor.
** "High School" does this with ''movie footage'' now.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: From "Dirty Spaceman":
-->I can tell I'm beginning to like Alejandro / He's brave and dapper and NOT DRUNK!
** That, or she gets hit on by so many drunk guys that finding one who isn't drunk is something special for her.
* TakeThat: To the production of "Hot Problems," after the song.
-->Oh my God, you guys could totally go buy this song on iTunes, and then listen to it in a parked limousine... That'd be so meta!
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Invoked in "Gang Fight!": "You're no one and it's unlikely you'll have this ... And I doubt that you'll have this ... Now you go away, na na na!"
** In "Time to Rock," Double Take "don't wanna disco with your a**"
* TheStinger: After every video, a short part of the video is played again, except with vastly different and equally nonsensical lyrics.
* TheStoner: Miley Cyrus, according to "Black Umbrella".
** Same applies to Newt Gingrich in his soundbyte.
** Both halves of Double Take are blatantly high in "Time To Rock".
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: From "Everybody Poops":
--> I be regular, bitches.
* ToiletHumour: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQTW7Pd1vqc Everybody Poops]].
** And a bit of it in Russian Unicorn. "The guy behind you just soiled his underwear...uh...umm...maybe YOU did it!"
** Newt Gingrich went poo-poo in the egg salad.
* TooKinkyToTorture: [[BeeGees Barry Gibb.]] [[spoiler:"Spank my wood...till I bleed... Or so that I scream...[[SafeWord 'Souffle!']]"]]
* TooMuchInformation: Jay-Z [[spoiler:"Makin' happy on my floor, got a [[RagingStiffie stiffle]]"]] (re. "Morning Dew").
* UnusualEuphemism: In "Hot Jumping Beans", it's pretty clear that the "hot jumping beans" are a metaphor for... something very intimate.
** "The chick let my [[ICallHimMrHappy frog]] out, and I mean it hopped and it hopped out in space"
*** From the same video, we get "Can you leave your wrinkled willie glue inside my ocean, please?"
** And of course: "Oh, the night is young / Now baby we could shoot a Russian unicorn"
** Music/LadyGaga wants your morning dew.
** Obama wants to "creep" and "make friction" in a large office after lunch.
** Gotye "kicked your monkey" and then "used your goat".
* TheVillainSucksSong: "Beard With Glue."
* VocalDissonance: It says a lot that this is averted except (arguably) in two cases - [[RascalFlatts Gary LeVox]] (voiced similar to LarryTheCableGuy even though his real voice is more like the one used for Music/JustinBieber here) and Michele Bachmann (whom you'd probably ''expect'' to sound like a guy anyways).
* [[VomitDiscretionShot Vomit Discretion Lyric]]: "I ate the cookie, then I gave it back to Benny."
** Could also be JabbaTableManners (he took one bite rather than ate all of it).
* [[VomitIndiscretionShot Vomit Indescretion Lyric]]: NickiMinaj throws up perfect shellfish into her towel.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Why ''is'' Zazoom always around so many graves? (Considering Michael Buble poisoned his dog to save a baby giraffe...) ''Is'' Bruno Mars the prettiest at the store? And why would it ''not'' be good if Madonna married a real giant?
** Why shouldn't you ever feed a sick child thick toast?
* AWildRapperAppears: Notably ''inverted'' in "Magic Man".
** Snoop Dogg's appearance in "Black Umbrella" was intended to parody this.
* WordSaladLyrics: A typical example from the "Gang Fight" rap: "I'm grabbing a routine vaccination with chicken and sweet carp on the side."
** In fact, the BLR "universe" is almost entirely word salad.
* YiddishAsASecondLanguage: From "(Rockin') All Nite Long": "Meshuggenah Vinnie had a hoop-de."
* YourMom: Mitt Romney is really into this, saying that "Yo' Momma's pudgy" and that she can eat him.

[[http://www.youtube.com/user/BadLipReading Bad Lip Reading]] is a YouTube channel that takes music videos of pop songs and writes their own original songs designed to match the lip movements of the people in the video, with [[WordSaladLyrics little to no regard for making sense]]. Usually substantial editing of the original video is also involved. They got their start in March 2011 with "[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1GaKaGwch0U Gang Fight]]", a GagDub of Rebecca Black's notorious viral video "[[{{Music/Friday}} Friday]]", which took a song about having fun on the weekend and made it into a song about gang warfare and chicken. Most of their songs execute a similar dramatic shift in style and theme from the original.
Thanks to an [[http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/11/bad_lip_reading.php anonymous interview]], we now know that BLR is produced by a single man in Texas, a "music producer, songwriter, and musician," but his identity remains a mystery. His songs are being sold completely legally on iTunes (being original works) but the videos may yet fall victim to copyright claims (as "Dirty Spaceman" already has). A few, like "Trick the Bridesmaid," are based on public domain works and so safe from takedowns.

* AcCENTUponTheWrongSylLABle: Although most of their lyrics are quite natural, BLR is sometimes guilty of this, as in this line from "Russian Unicorn":
-->I want to '''shave''' that mustache and then '''have''' gelato!
** From Black Umbrella:
---> "I'ma get dumb and bang a wiz'''ard'''!"
* ActuallyPrettyFunny: MichaelBuble loved "Russian Unicorn." And Gotye thought "Kicked Your Monkey" was good enough to pass on via {{Twitter}}.
** Judging by the comments, Ron Paul supporters, a notoriously touchy contingent, appeared to have this reaction when he got the BLR treatment.
* AdaptationDistillation: Some of BLR's videos are taken from more than one song. For instance, "Morning Dew" is taken from ''three'' songs, "The Lazy Song" by Bruno Mars, "Alejandro" by Lady Gaga and "Empire State of Mind" by Jay-Z and Alicia Keys
* AdaptationExpansion: "That Should Be Me" was divided [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y0GutrcKbRM into]] ''[[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_gXotGSe_JE two]]'' Bad Lip Readings.
* TheAlcoholic: Nicki Minaj, according to "Dirty Spaceman":
-->But I'm feeling fine
-->I'm on bottle 99
** Also, Rebecca Black's friend in "Gang Fight"; she's bombed, by the way.
** TaylorSwift is also "un-sober."
** MichaelBuble drinks fire water.
** Double Take in "Time To Rock": "I have to drink, and that'll make it good."
* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Expect any artist appearing in a song to end up a ''lot'' less innocent than their ordinary public image. [[invoked]]
** Music/RebeccaBlack becomes a violent gang member who associates with neo-Nazis.
** MileyCyrus and TaylorSwift both become party girls into drugs and drinking, respectively.
--> '''Miley Cyrus:''' "And I'm pregnant."
** [[BlackEyedPeas Fergie]]'s got "bowel issues."
** [[RascalFlatts Gary LeVox]] is a BigEater, and possibly also a CloudCuckooLander.
** Who knew [[BeeGees Barry Gibb]] was [[TooKinkyToTorture masochistic]]?
** And MichaelBuble is an outright MemeticSexGod (or at least the god of bad roommates), a BigEater and possibly an AgentMulder.
---> "If your body's a secret girl, then you about to spill it"
** The trend is ''inverted'' in "Rockin' All Night Long" when Wiz Khalifa is revealed to be the DoggedNiceGuy for Taylor.
---> "Damn, I got carsick by the swings, [[NeverLiveItDown and she see me dry heaving on the interstate]]"
** James Blunt, meanwhile, is a NightmareFuelStationAttendant who hates dogs.
** Newt Gingrich is a drugged-up party animal with a panty fetish and possible criminal connections.
** Gotye is an unapologetic animal abuser.
* {{Angrish}}: apl.de.ap in "Everybody Poops":
--> And I hate those greenish potatoes with them '''soggy fish sticks!''' '''''AAA!!!'''''
* AnythingButThat: Herman Cain has a deep-seated fear of spiders. And big potato moths. Big potato moths!
* ArtifactTitle: Usually averted.
** The name "Dirty Spaceman" [[PragmaticAdaptation actually justifies the sci-fi setting]]) - [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ii5IUihNuno Black Umbrella]] is only ''implied'' to be a new weed ie. "the right stuff", and we're never certain if the Russian Unicorn, like those left-nut-targeting monsters, ever existed (this may be justified by the whole video being an ImagineSpot).
** As a [=YouTube=] comment points out, the toxic waste barrels in "Boom Boom Pow" make more sense if they're filled with poop.
* AssShove: Poor Joe Biden.
--> "My friends want to shave my behind. They're putting ants into my behind! There's a parakeet ''on my behind!'' '''Why are you people clapping?!''' Thick concrete is ''up my behind!'' ...Pikachu!!!"
* AutoTune: Mostly in "Everybody Poops" and "Dirty Spaceman".
* BadassBoast: Wiz Khalifa's "I'm an [[AlchemyIsMagic alchemist]], the beat is my base metal." (re. "Rockin' All Night Long")
** Jay-Z's "[[StarWars I'm Han, you're Greedo]]" definitely counts.
** From Michelle Bachmann: "If I assault you, your arm wouldn't defend you. It's better to not do it."
** Gotye's "I'm fighting with ninja gloves"
* BeastlyBloodsports: The lyric "I'm gonna find a chicken fight" in "Everybody Poops".
* BeAWhoreToGetYourMan: from "Rockin' All Night Long":
-->You can always count on me to show those other girls just how to lay it down down down
-->Every girl get they freak on please, you are the one that can bring him to his knees
* BerserkButton: Greenish potatoes and soggy fishsticks for apl.de.ap (re. "Everybody Poops")
** Mind your manners when you're on {{Ludacris}}' mountain, [[DisproportionateRetribution or you will be shot.]] [[WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous Twice.]] [[CrossesTheLineTwice And your corpse looted.]]
** [[spoiler:If the ghetto hobbit with an Uzi is around, that is.]]
* BigEater: Their AlternateCharacterInterpretation of Rascal Flatts' Gary [=LeVox=] seems to be this. "Hot Jumping Beans" is about food to begin with, but while Music/JustinBieber mainly sticks to the topic of beans, [=LeVox=] keeps bringing up other kinds of food ("Baaaaaaccoooonnnn! Yeah, whoo... ham").
** [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mexican_jumping_bean Justin has...interesting culinary tastes.]]
** Deconstructed in "Russian Unicorn":
---> "I should not have ate those Cajun rice and beans... [[AesopAmnesia Them strawberries look juicy]]"
** Also seems to apply to Rick Perry in his soundbite, where he spontaneously lists food and proclaims that he is "bored by famine."
** Obama in Trick the Bridesmaids lists food America has been short on.
* BilingualBonus: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjaZNYSt7o0 "Russian Unicorn"]] -- 'Российский единорог' is a literal Russian translation of the name for the eponymous creature.
* BodySnatcher: Gotye in ''Kicked Your Monkey''
-->"I'm body snatching you and I'ma change your diaper"
* BreadEggsMilkSquick: From (Rockin') All Nite Long;
--> Whiz Khalifa: Bring me potatoes, and meat, and greens, and weed
** "Dirty Spaceman" gives us "River deep, mountain high, shave my pubes".
** "Beard With Glue" has a very jarring one:
--> I saw your friends drowning in blood.
* BrickJoke: At the meta level - NickiMinaj brings up the name "Alejandro" in "Dirty Spaceman", and 2 videos later, "Alejandro" becomes the first Music/LadyGaga video used by BLR.
* ButYouScrewOneGoat: "I kicked your monkey/then I used your goat!"
* CallBack: At the end of "Russian Unicorn", a muzak version of "Everybody Poops" can be heard playing in the background.
** Ludacris actually [[ShoutOut shouting out]] "Gang FIGHT!" in [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SmobkT8IuxM "Magic Man"]]. The intro for "Gang Fight" can be heard in some later videos as a reverse-VanityPlate.
** And "Magic Man" brings up windmills, right after "Black Umbrella" did.
* CantHoldHisLiquor: Rick Santorum:
-->The first time I drank, I had my shoes under my arm. Because I mean I was ''so'' sick, I mean, ''so'' barftastic. I puked on the pizza.
* ClearMyName: Ludacris denies shooting the hobbit on his mountain, claiming it was a ghetto hobbit with an uzi.
* CloudCuckooLander: Most of the people who get the BLR treatment come out this way.
* ComicSutra: The "Mary Lunch Limbo", a favorite maneuver of Newt Gingrich, involving [[NoodleImplements four porpoises and a wet Nigerian]].
* CoolPet: MichaelBuble's pet porcupine, Zazoom.
* CoolSword: MileyCyrus' plasma sword. [[FridgeBrilliance She's Padawan material, y'know.]]
* CrossdressingVoices As noted earlier, BLR is all the work of one man, which means he ends up gag-dubbing with female voices a lot. Though there's probably some studio trickery involved, his female singing voice is pretty convincing.
* CrossoverCosmology: [[TheLordofTheRings Hobbits]] and [[StarWars Padawans]] are both apparently well-known real beings in the Bad Lip Reading 'verse.
* DarkerAndEdgier: Songs about fun and partying become songs about gang warfare and drugs.
* DirtyOldMan: Newt Gingrich, who also has this reputation in RealLife.
* DisproportionateRetribution: "Everybody Poops":
-->You'll never find a human that steals school supplies
-->And if you do
-->Let me know who (who)
-->And I'll beat him down.
** will.i.am will also beat you down if you make eye contact with him, because that's not scary.
** A weird witch gagged Rick Santorum for swearing and having porn.
* EatsBabies: Nicki Minaj, in "Dirty Spaceman" would "love to eat a bag of children" and "cook 'em 'over easy' on a Monday"
* EpicRocking: "Morning Dew."
* EstablishingCharacterMoment: Special mention must be made of the RickSantorum video for getting this over with ''in the first line''.
--> [[InsaneTrollLogic "I'm crazy... and I'm right."]]
* EverythingsBetterWithChickens: Chickens seem to be a recurring theme...
** Arguably, so are beans, as of Russian Unicorn.
* EverythingsBetterWithMonkeys: Apparently there weren't enough of them in the "Lazy Song" clips, so Jay-Z brought his own. (re. "Morning Dew").
** Inverted in "Beard With Glue", in which a costumed gorilla ate Ben.
*** Although a gorilla is technically not a monkey.
**** This might be why Double Take hates gorillas.
** Gotye [[KickTheDog kicked one]] right before he [[ButYouScrewOneGoat used a goat.]]
* EvilLaugh: Mitt Romney has one.
-->I'm very good company. [=EhahahahahAHAHAHAHAHA=]!
* ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin: The premise at least; the actual songs, not so much.
* FollowTheLeader: Bad Lip Reading in other languages. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rn7xzI64Ln4 It had to happen.]]
* FreezeFrameBonus: The still of Ludacris and his "magic goose" in "Magic Man" (shown right after the "Gang Fight" CallBack). It's shown just long enough to register, but the pause button is needed to make out the funnier details.
** Also, in "(Rockin') All Nite Long", once TaylorSwift appears to be checking her armpit odor, "sniff" appears on the screen for a very short time. [[BrickJoke Turns out it corresponds to a later verse where shes sniffing a flower.]]
** Happens again in "Dirty Spaceman", with a reflection of the Dirty Spaceman in the tv screen before it's switched on, and will.i.am edited to look like a pink bunny at 3:23.
** Yet again in "Morning Dew," with a monkey appearing on Jay-Z's shoulder at 1:41. The still of Jay-Z edited to look like Han Solo might also count, but it's up for a bit longer than most such shots.
*** There's also a shot around 3:23 where BrunoMars holds up a picture he drew of a pink ice castle, a green hotdog, and 'three light snacks.'
* FriendlyEnemy: Bruno Mars is gonna send flowers to all his foes.
* FunnyBackgroundEvent: Listen to the background chatter at the end of "Russian Unicorn".
-->'''Girl 1:''' [[spoiler: Did he say he drinks fire water?]]
-->'''Girl 2:''' [[spoiler: He thinks monsters are trying to get his testicles.]]
* GagDub: As applied to pop music and politicians.
* GenreShift: BLR has shifted from music videos to politicians.
* HardDrinkingPartyGirl: Taylor Swift from "Rockin' All Nite Long":
--> And I wanna have fun
--> Un-sober, I'm thinking you could hook me up
--> With a bottle of Platinum Patron
* HotterAndSexier: BLR's naughty reinterpretations of Miley Cyrus, Taylor Swift, and Michael Bublé have left many YouTube commenters finding them more attractive than before, despite all video clips being taken straight from the original videos.
** Considering the nature of Bad Lip Reading means [[FridgeBrilliance people are going to focus on their lips...]]
* HumiliationConga:
--> '''Music/LadyGaga:''' "A midget said "[[FetishFuel Speak with an accent]]", so I did, just so I could steal his Porsche [[BondageIsBad while he was tied to a stake...]] [[KickTheDog in the rain]]"
* {{Hypocrite}}: Mitt Romney makes multiple YourMom statements... But he doesn't want his son speaking bad about his mother, even ''if'' he's a party rapper.
* HypocriticalHumor: Rick Perry cracks up at the nonsensical statements made by his opponents during debates, when he did the same thing in RealLife.
* ImAHumanitarian: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MufJJ9Yj8Mw "Dirty Spaceman"]]: "I'd love to eat a bag of children, cook 'em over easy on a Monday"
* ImplausibleDeniability: After [[ToiletHumor soiling his underwear]], Michael Bublé blames everyone but himself:
--> The guy behind you just soiled his underwear. Umm... maybe ''you'' did it. Hey, that's okay, girl!
* IntercourseWithYou: "Russian Unicorn".
* KindheartedCatLover: Rick Santorum borrowed meat to provide for his puddy tat.
* LiteralMusicVideo: Although not strict literal music videos, many of the lyrics are inspired by things going on in the video, like in "Black Umbrella (The Right Stuff)": "Dude's so crazy, he tryin' to sell me hubcaps."
** "Kicked Your Monkey" does this deliberately to fill a segment left lyric-less in the original.
* LyricalDissonance
* MagicalNegro: Ludacris in "Magic Man", of course.
* ManOfAThousandVoices: In [[http://blogs.villagevoice.com/runninscared/2011/11/bad_lip_reading.php an anonymous interview with the Village Voice]], the man behind the videos claims to do all the voices himself, including the female ones.
--> "I play all the parts and sing all the vocals. Even the girl parts are me. It's a party-trick of mine: I can do a girl voice. I used to call up my friends and speak in the girl voice and they wouldn't know who it was. It's just a thing I can do. But there's also some electronic trickery involved."
* TheMerch: [[http://badlipreading.spreadshirt.com/ Bad Lip Reading T-shirts exist!]]
* NobodyPoops: {{Subverted}}. [[WhatMeasureIsANonHuman Unless you're an android]], [[DisproportionateRetribution in which case, you should be destroyed]].
** And Fergie's got "bowel issues".
* NoodleIncident: It took forever to get a ghost out of Nicki Minaj's house, that stupid poltergeist!
** Barack Obama's college had one man who made goats tell time (Trick the Bridesmaid)
* ObligatoryBondageSong: The Bee Gees' parts of "Magic Man".
* OneOfUs: Mitt Romney is apparently quite a gamer.
* OneSteveLimit: Leaving out the NickiMinaj bits in "Magic Man" while she gets due focus in "Dirty Spaceman" seems influenced by this trope. Averted with two JustinBieber videos out (though the second seems like a deliberate followup to the first).
* OnlySaneMan: In the Newt Gingrich clip, Michele Bachmann comes across as this during the debate.
* {{Parody}}: (Or satire, depending on your point of view) Either one is protected under United States fair use law and BLR makes an effort to present the video clips differently from the original video, potentially to avoid copyright violations. Whether this works is yet to be determined.
** "Gang Fight" fast forwarded through the part of the "Friday" video where Rebecca Black sang the infamous "Yesterday it was Thursday..." lines and goes straight to the rapper in the car, apparently because they didn't write anything for that part of the video. This makes "Gang Fight" about 40 seconds shorter than the original video.
** The images for "Everybody Poops" are flipped from the original version of "Boom Boom Pow" and the part where Fergie sings "People in the place..." is used twice in "Everybody Poops" so she can be seen singing "When I'm on the pot..." twice.
** Clips from rap videos are inserted into "Black Umbrella (The Right Stuff)" and "(Rockin') All Nite Long", both parodies of songs not containing any rapping. Of special note, the clips of Wiz Khalifa come from [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nWAGLkyxQG0 "Black and Yellow"]] which ''[[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin actually were black and yellow]]'' but have been tinted blue here.
** "Magic Man" actually ''omits'' all of NickiMinaj's footage from the original, in favor of the apparently random BeeGees clips from "Too Much Heaven".
** "Dirty Spaceman" is edited so that it appears you are watching the video via a monitor on the ship of the Dirty Spaceman.
*** It didn't stop UMG from taking it down, though.
** Putting certain words on screen may also be an effort to ensure the videos are recognized as parody.
** "Russian Unicorn" appears to be the least altered from the original, although it does have the usual BLR trope of putting certain phrases on the screen.
** At the other end of the scale, since "Morning Dew" has clips from three videos, it would be the ''most'' altered of all the BLR vidoes.
** "Beard With Glue" adds around another 40 seconds to the video by reversing the part where JamesBlunt empties his pockets, making it look like after he puts everything out, he puts them back into his pockets, and then puts them out again. The video also uses a similar "watching from a screen" technique like from "Dirty Spaceman", except there are multiple screens, as shown in the beginning and end.
** "Kicked Your Monkey" does this very subtly, adding a strobe effect to ''just'' the border, which melds perfectly with the new Eurobeat sound so you don't even notice it's there at first.
* PizzaBoySpecialDelivery: Bruno Mars seems to be "delivering" for Lady Gaga in "Morning Dew".
* PropRecycling: Invoked. Some videos have an obviously CGI plasma TV with a BLR brand name inserted.
* RashomonStyle: In "Magic Man", who ''did'' kill that hobbit?
* RealitySubtext: Given TaylorSwift's penchant for {{Take That}}s, starting the chorus with "all y'all haters stop your noise" becomes less random.
** "Asian Baby" has Music/JustinBieber mentioning that he was in Korea, which would have happened for real if 4chan had their way.
* RuleOfFunny: The only way to explain the random lyrics that are sung when the video is not currently focused on the singing. For example, in "Black Umbrella", the lines about the Padawan and Tiny Timmy Tokyo both come up when the camera is not on Miley Cyrus' face.
* SampledUp: Invoked for "Magic Man" with the BeeGees.
* SecretIdentity: As noted above, the man behind BLR is hiding his real name, reportedly "because he doesn't want the levity of the Bad Lip Reading series to impact his more serious work."
* ShownTheirWork: Yes, that is a real graph of the inverse cosine in "Black Umbrella (The Right Stuff)".
** The new voices for SnoopDogg and will-i-am are ''disturbingly'' spot on. It should be noted that [[WeirdAlEffect Gary LeVox's ISN'T.]]
*** Their Jay-Z sounds good enough that you'd swear it ''was'' him.
*** Their MileyCyrus voice is pretty darn good too, especially in the talking segments (the diet Snapple part and "And I'm pregnant").
** Why is Wiz Khalifa edited into Taylor Swift's video? It might be because the Pittsburgh Pirates logo on the T-shirt he's wearing has been altered to replace the word "PIRATES" with "TAYLOR." But BLR didn't do that. It was shown that way in Khalifa's original video (The Pirate's face was also altered).
** When BLR added their own hands to footage of Lady Gaga in "Morning Dew", there was a tattoo of a peace sign on the left wrist. Lady Gaga actually has a tattoo like this.
* ShoutOut:
** In "Magic Man", They talk about [[TheHobbit someone killing a hobbit]], then TheBeeGees come across the body and [[TheLordOfTheRings sell the ring on his finger for $200]]
** From the same song, "I ain't see no hobbits in StarWars"
** Hobbits appear again in "Trick the Bridesmaid" (and Obama is a witness for them)
** From "Black Umbrella (The Right Stuff)": "Oh my gosh, there's never gonna be a better [[StarWars Padawan]] than me."
** Star Wars seems to come up a lot, since "Dirty Spaceman" has the line "Angel Mouth ate my Jedi Jello". The same song also refers to {{Gumby}}, TinaTurner, [[TheFly Brundlefly]] and a {{Re-Animator}}.
** And now "Morning Dew" has Jay-Z rapping "[[HanShotFirst I'm Han, you're Greedo.]]" With an appropriately photoshopped picture of Jay-Z. And with a later CallBack in a manipulated Lady Gaga clip.
** Gotye joins in the ''Star Wars'' love... except he's "working with the Sith".
** And let's not forget Joe Biden's [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} "PIKACHU!"]]
** From "High School": [[{{Deliverance}} "That's a banjo!"]]
* SignatureSong: "Gang Fight." "Russian Unicorn" is also a contender.
* SomethingCompletelyDifferent: BLR takes on a RippedFromTheHeadlines approach with spoken-word videos. "Beard with Glue" could also count, being devoid of the usual hiphop flavor.
** "High School" does this with ''movie footage'' now.
* SuspiciouslySpecificDenial: From "Dirty Spaceman":
-->I can tell I'm beginning to like Alejandro / He's brave and dapper and NOT DRUNK!
** That, or she gets hit on by so many drunk guys that finding one who isn't drunk is something special for her.
* TakeThat: To the production of "Hot Problems," after the song.
-->Oh my God, you guys could totally go buy this song on iTunes, and then listen to it in a parked limousine... That'd be so meta!
* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: Invoked in "Gang Fight!": "You're no one and it's unlikely you'll have this ... And I doubt that you'll have this ... Now you go away, na na na!"
** In "Time to Rock," Double Take "don't wanna disco with your a**"
* TheStinger: After every video, a short part of the video is played again, except with vastly different and equally nonsensical lyrics.
* TheStoner: Miley Cyrus, according to "Black Umbrella".
** Same applies to Newt Gingrich in his soundbyte.
** Both halves of Double Take are blatantly high in "Time To Rock".
* ThisIsForEmphasisBitch: From "Everybody Poops":
--> I be regular, bitches.
* ToiletHumour: [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQTW7Pd1vqc Everybody Poops]].
** And a bit of it in Russian Unicorn. "The guy behind you just soiled his underwear...uh...umm...maybe YOU did it!"
** Newt Gingrich went poo-poo in the egg salad.
* TooKinkyToTorture: [[BeeGees Barry Gibb.]] [[spoiler:"Spank my wood...till I bleed... Or so that I scream...[[SafeWord 'Souffle!']]"]]
* TooMuchInformation: Jay-Z [[spoiler:"Makin' happy on my floor, got a [[RagingStiffie stiffle]]"]] (re. "Morning Dew").
* UnusualEuphemism: In "Hot Jumping Beans", it's pretty clear that the "hot jumping beans" are a metaphor for... something very intimate.
** "The chick let my [[ICallHimMrHappy frog]] out, and I mean it hopped and it hopped out in space"
*** From the same video, we get "Can you leave your wrinkled willie glue inside my ocean, please?"
** And of course: "Oh, the night is young / Now baby we could shoot a Russian unicorn"
** Music/LadyGaga wants your morning dew.
** Obama wants to "creep" and "make friction" in a large office after lunch.
** Gotye "kicked your monkey" and then "used your goat".
* TheVillainSucksSong: "Beard With Glue."
* VocalDissonance: It says a lot that this is averted except (arguably) in two cases - [[RascalFlatts Gary LeVox]] (voiced similar to LarryTheCableGuy even though his real voice is more like the one used for Music/JustinBieber here) and Michele Bachmann (whom you'd probably ''expect'' to sound like a guy anyways).
* [[VomitDiscretionShot Vomit Discretion Lyric]]: "I ate the cookie, then I gave it back to Benny."
** Could also be JabbaTableManners (he took one bite rather than ate all of it).
* [[VomitIndiscretionShot Vomit Indescretion Lyric]]: NickiMinaj throws up perfect shellfish into her towel.
* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Why ''is'' Zazoom always around so many graves? (Considering Michael Buble poisoned his dog to save a baby giraffe...) ''Is'' Bruno Mars the prettiest at the store? And why would it ''not'' be good if Madonna married a real giant?
** Why shouldn't you ever feed a sick child thick toast?
* AWildRapperAppears: Notably ''inverted'' in "Magic Man".
** Snoop Dogg's appearance in "Black Umbrella" was intended to parody this.
* WordSaladLyrics: A typical example from the "Gang Fight" rap: "I'm grabbing a routine vaccination with chicken and sweet carp on the side."
** In fact, the BLR "universe" is almost entirely word salad.
* YiddishAsASecondLanguage: From "(Rockin') All Nite Long": "Meshuggenah Vinnie had a hoop-de."
* YourMom: Mitt Romney is really into this, saying that "Yo' Momma's pudgy" and that she can eat him.
