I don't even know where to begin when it comes to my love of these bad lip-reading videos.  First off, shout out to whoever it is who goes through a mountain of video footage each year, studying what people are saying and how their mouths are moving, and then somehow figures out what other things they could be saying.  Just diving into this task intimidates me.  However, I'm so glad they do it.   Each year, I don't think they can top their previous year's effort, and every year, I am wrong.

After watching this bad lip-reading video a couple of times, I believe my favorite are some of the "player introductions."  Not too dissimilar from the classic Key and Peele bowl game sketch, the names, "Cremson DeLowry, The Earl of Trannsylvania," "Freshmountain Sweetroll," "Cankle Chafer," and "Swell Crotch" will live forever.
