Line 57:
** [[Michael Buble]] drinks fire water.
** Double Take in "Time To Rock": "I have to drink, and that'll make it good."
* [[Alternate Character Interpretation]]: Expect any artist appearing in a song to end up a ''lot'' less innocent than their ordinary public image.
** [[Rebecca Black]] becomes a violent gang member who associates with neo-Nazis.
** [[Miley Cyrus]] and [[Taylor Swift]] both become party girls into drugs and drinking, respectively.
Line 71:
** 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":
{{quote|And I hate those greenish potatoes with them '''soggy fish sticks!''' '''''AAA!!!'''''}}
* [[Anything But That]]: Herman Cain has a deep-seated fear of spiders. And big potato moths. Big potato moths!
Line 100:
* [[Body Snatcher]]: Gotye in ''Kicked Your Monkey''
{{quote|"I'm body snatching you and I'ma change your diaper"}}
* [[Bottle Fairy]]: Taylor Swift from "Rockin' All Nite Long":
{{quote|And I wanna have fun
Un-sober, I'm thinking you could hook me up
Line 119:
* [[Cloudcuckoolander]]: Most of the people who get the BLR treatment come out this way.
* [[Comic Sutra]]: The "Mary Lunch Limbo", a favorite maneuver of Newt Gingrich, involving [[Noodle Implements|four porpoises and a wet Nigerian]].
* [[Cool Pet]]: [[Michael Buble]]'s pet porcupine, Zazoom.
* [[Cool Sword]]: [[Miley Cyrus]]' plasma sword. [[Fridge Brilliance|She's Padawan material, y'know.]]
* [[Cross-Dressing Voices]] 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.
* [[Crossover Cosmology]]: [[The Lord of the Rings|Hobbits]] and [[Star Wars|Padawans]] are both apparently well-known real beings in the Bad Lip Reading 'verse.
* [[Darker and Edgier]]: Songs about fun and partying become songs about gang warfare and drugs.
Line 130:
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.
* [[Eats Babies]]: Nicki Minaj, in "Dirty Spaceman" would "love to eat a bag of children" and "cook 'em 'over easy' on a Monday"
Line 151:
** 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 [[Bruno Mars]] holds up a picture he drew of a pink ice castle, a green hotdog, and 'three light snacks.'
* [[Friendly Enemy]]: Bruno Mars is gonna send flowers to all his foes.
* [[Funny Background Event]]: Listen to the background chatter at the end of "Russian Unicorn".
Line 173:
* [[Lyrical Dissonance]]
* [[Magical Negro]]: Ludacris in "Magic Man", of course.
* [[Man of a Thousand Voices]]: 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.
{{quote|"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."}}
* [[The Merch]]: [http://badlipreading.spreadshirt.com/ Bad Lip Reading T-shirts exist!]
Line 180:
* [[Noodle Incident]]: 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)
* [[Obligatory Bondage Song]]: The Bee Gees' parts of "Magic Man".
* [[One of Us]]: Mitt Romney is apparently quite a gamer.
* [[One Steve Limit]]: Leaving out the [[Nicki Minaj]] bits in "Magic Man" while she gets due focus in "Dirty Spaceman" seems influenced by this trope. Averted with two [[Justin Bieber]] videos out (though the second seems like a deliberate followup to the first).
Line 194:
** "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 [[James Blunt]] 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.
* [[Pizza Boy Special Delivery]]: Bruno Mars seems to be "delivering" for Lady Gaga in "Morning Dew".
Line 207:
** The new voices for [[Snoop Dogg]] and will-i-am are ''disturbingly'' spot on. It should be noted that [[Weird Al Effect|Gary LeVox's ISN'T.]]
*** Their Jay-Z sounds good enough that you'd swear it ''was'' him.
*** Their [[Miley Cyrus]] 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.
* [[Shout-Out]]:
Line 234:
** Same applies to Newt Gingrich in his soundbyte.
** Both halves of Double Take are blatantly high in "Time To Rock".
* [[This Is for Emphasis, Bitch]]: From "Everybody Poops":
{{quote|I be regular, bitches. }}
* [[Toilet Humour]]: [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kQTW7Pd1vqc Everybody Poops].
