    You could be sick, pooping out blood…and you’d still want them.

    Finally, a Cain commercial that is comprehendable.

    What is the point of this, may I ask? Cain’s actual stump ramblings are funny in themselves without this mindless mockery. I already get that the audio/video editor is technically proficient.

      Quickest possible summary for you: “Different people’s senses of humor vary, and no one person’s sense of what is funny or not funny can really be called objectively valid.” The point of this redub is that some people find it funny because their tastes differ from yours. We like non sequitur humor.

      Honestly, did you not consider that as a possibility, or did you just think that those of us who are amused by this sort of surreal humor would suddenly see your point of view and realize we’re all idiots who are wasting our time?

        I think the next step in this conversation is usually where you and I get told we just pretend to like this because it’s hip.

          No, this is the part where you get told to use the scroll bar to avoid posts that you find unamusing.

            Huh? I guess my wording was unclear, but I liked this post. Fixed my comment to remove the ambiguity.

  • EH

    I’m really  starting to like this guy!

  • Eddie Perkins

    Hilarious! And, almost a crazy as the shit he actually says. 

  • xenphilos

    As a Mexican, I can affirm that we do not like lice-ridden, Tiger-spliced sugar.

  • librtee_dot_com

    Bad lip reading is wholly redundant for Herman Cain.

  • Extrema

    Funny once.

  • D3

    Really funny video, as are most of the “lip-reading ” series.  But I’m curious, how many people realize that Herman Cain majored in mathematics and has a master’s in computer science?

    • EH

      worst bosses i’ve ever had!

    • knappa

      If anything, that makes his 9-9-9 plan even worse. He should have been able to estimate what the effect would be himself.

      • http://chipandre.com Chip

        As one of the few very-rich that would actually benefit from the plan, I’m sure he is well aware of what the effect would be.

        • knappa

          I could be wrong, but I don’t think of him as the nefarious evil genius type. A glib sloganeer who made it business by personal charm, that I can totally see.

      • http://twitter.com/cassandraschoon cassandra schoon

        I would be more inclined to think he knows exactly what the effect would be, and doesn’t care…

    • atimoshenko

      But I’m curious, how many people realize that Herman Cain majored in mathematics and has a master’s in computer science?

      Then he must have done a lot of drugs since that time.

  • social_maladroit

    I’m curious, does Herman Cain realize he majored in mathematics and has a master’s in computer science?

    That was a really funny video. Great work. “They got an extra-fatal lady shimmer of no maximum strength” — that explains a lot! Happy hoops day.

    I’m still completely enamored with “Gang Fight,” “Everybody Poops,” and “Russian Unicorn.”  Whoever this “Bad Lip Reading” guy is, he’s something special.

  • querent

    Oh my god, that was hilarious.

    And, for the record, and undergrad in math is not all that difficult to swing.  If we’re going for degree cred, my vote’s for Hagbard Celine.

  • querent

    Man, this is Dutch Schultz level genius (I had to watch it again).

    “I’m roooling in it.  I could probably freak on you.”

  • WaylonWillie

    Thank you, I needed that….

  • Donald Petersen

    “Cowboys & Anthrax”?

    Man’s got my vote!

  • willyboy

    Thank you for relaying this. I long laugh.

  • scifijazznik

    No, the best “Bad Lip Reading” is Ludacris vs the Bee Gees:

  • BijouxBoy

    THANK YOU Rezeya Montecore. I am often amazed at the humorlessness of some people. I wonder if their days are filled with monitoring for humor, then making dreary, inane comments  to wipe smiles of those who enjoy a laugh. Go Bad Lip-Readers!!

    “Give that woodchuck a tuna melt.”

    Yes, indeed.  Wiser words have never been spoken.

    “Ahh-choo”

    I love these.  I think the ultimate challenge would be for him/her/them to bad lipread the “40 inspirational speeches” video that Matthew Belinke over at OverthinkingIt put together a while back.

  • Ashen Victor

    Happy hoops day everyone!

  • librtee_dot_com

    You know, some of the GOP field might have questionable views on homosexual rights issues..but I just watched this video, and I don’t think anybody can touch the herm:

    • Ipo

      I still just can’t understand that Cain chose to be an African American, you know, with him being a republican and all.  But, oh well, everybody has to choose for themselves  I guess.

  • travtastic

    This is going to be really funny when Bad Lip Reading gets their hands on it.

  • RJ

    The whole thing was funny, but I nearly spat on the monitor when he blurted out “you could be sick, poopin’ blood and you still want ‘em.”

  • irksome

    Finally, a politician who says what he’s thinking!

    (Oddly enough, the same comment that I posted for the Michelle Bachmann BLP… what does it mean!? Oh yeah, they’re ALL bATsHiT cRAzY.)

    extra fatal lady shimmer.  yes.
