Originating from the YouTube channel 'Bad Lip Reading' in 2011, this meme style focuses on redubbing video clips with phonetically similar but contextually absurd dialogue. The channel's creator gained massive fame by parodying pop songs, movies like Twilight and Star Wars, and even the NFL and political debates. The humor stems from the disconnect between the intense visual delivery of the speaker and the surreal, nonsensical phrases being 'heard.' In meme culture, the Bad Lip Reading format involves adding white subtitles to images or GIFs to represent these ridiculous phrases, turning serious or high-stakes moments into chaotic and laugh-out-loud comedy.
