BLR Movie Spoofs

It's weird, but there is no mention of BLR's movie clips at all. They've done a few, including my favorite - their spoof on The Hunger Games. Is there a reason for the omission? I'm not sure about the timeline for BLR's output. It's something my daughter introduced us to! sugarfish (talk) 14:54, 28 January 2013 (UTC)

New points

Hi. I am making some new parts to this article. I hope it's okay. I am a fan of BLR and think it's hilarious and awesome. Happy monsoon day (talk) 17:56, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Sure it's OK. It is indeed hilarious and awesome. You've got some formatting issues in your additions but I'll tidy those up later. Welcome to Wikipedia! 28bytes (talk) 18:01, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

okay let me look at it more closely and try to make it match with other things. Happy monsoon day (talk) 18:13, 18 March 2012 (UTC) I wish there was more content online about this person. He is a living genius. Happy monsoon day (talk) 18:13, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

okay basically I finished fixing it.Happy monsoon day (talk) 18:16, 18 March 2012 (UTC)

Mike Throne, Pete Swann, Christ Robertson made 'Condi Rice Freaks Out'. One of the voices is a dead ringer for the voice in the Herman Cain episode. One of them is BLR. Video is available on YouTube. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CIqeeK6sntk — Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.185.169.64 (talk) 22:41, 19 October 2013 (UTC)

im going to make a table of all the songs and just going to practice with it here. any feedback let me know!~~ Happy monsoon day (talk) 00:19, 29 May 2012 (UTC)

Hi fellow BLR fan! I made some fixes to your table. I think it's better to link the titles to the videos, rather than have a separate column. It's important to make sure (according to WP:EL) that all links are to official video uploads only, for both the original songs and the BLR songs. Tragically this means we cannot link "Dirty Spaceman" at all. Note that some songs are assembled from multiple original songs - some like "Morning Dew" use three or more, and they should all be listed (e.g. by using multiple table rows, one per original work). I've also sorted them according to original release date. Finally, songs get quotes around them, not italics. Dcoetzee 08:57, 3 June 2012 (UTC)

awesome thanks for helping!! the only issue i foresee with your suggestion about a unique row for each video is that there will be abunch of emptyrows sometimes because some have different amounts of other videos.why dont we just put them all in the same row? im going to keep going (i was going to order by date at the end but yeah)Happy monsoon day (talk)

It looks good so far but I think the table is a bit wide - may be able to reduce width in some places by using <br/> for line breaks. Also I'm considering whether to put the BLR columns on the left hand side rather than the right. Dcoetzee 07:29, 9 June 2012 (UTC)

fair consideration. i'll just keep adding stuff and we can figure that out later.it might be a bit tricky to change the order of the columns, though, unless there is an automated way to do that. i dont know how to use those html tags to reduce the width in some places. ill just finish it off and we can add it to the article. i think this will be terrifically useful to people.Happy monsoon day

Hi all...I just did some formatting cleanup on the table and added the three newest BLR songs (minus the link to "YETI", since it's currently blocked by YouTube in the US). Note that I undid one bot revision of my changes: it didn't like one or more of the links for copyright reasons, but there were no new links in that batch, only revisions to existing links to remove some unnecessary URL components. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ethanstraffin (talk • contribs) 08:31, 3 August 2012 (UTC)

Okay, so my edits (and the bot reversion of them) led to a larger debate on my talk page about whether the external YouTube links to the original videos and BLR spoofs are acceptable or not. I believe they are (at least in the case of the spoof videos), but Anderson9990 believes otherwise and has been around a lot longer than I. I've chosen to go with his verdict for now and have removed the "Link(s)" column from the Body of Work table, along with the links in the "BLR song" (formerly "BLR song and link") column. If the links are deemed useful again at some point, see my revision from 08:20, 3 August 2012. Ethanstraffin (talk) 23:04, 5 August 2012 (UTC)

Newbie mistake in my 22:47, 5 August 2012 edit summary for the article: Anderson9990 is not an admin, just a fellow well-intentioned editor. Ethanstraffin (talk) 10:30, 7 August 2012 (UTC)

In this case I'm afraid that, although YouTube is the official home of Bad Lip Reading, we're not safe linking to them, because the videos are likely copyright violations (unlicensed derivative works, with the exception of "Trick the Bridesmaid" which is derived from a public domain work). Linking to a copyright violation is considered contributory infringement (see [1], "Linking to Infringing Works"). They aren't that hard to Google up though, given their distinctive names.

this note is to express how highly gratifying i find it to come back a few months later and observe how others have built on the table i meticulously constructed, including compliance-assurance and the works. the compliance officer at my workplace makes a living from his job and ya'll do it for free. always impressedHappy monsoon day 20:41, 27 October 2012 (UTC)

NFL BLR

Any place to add the NFL bad lip reading? I'd do it myself, but I don't really know where to place them. [2][3][4] ZappaOMati 03:43, 17 January 2013 (UTC)

"My New Favourite Song"

I don't know if it's true or not, but some people say that Michael Buble never said that, and that that video in itself is a BLR of Buble talking about the original song in an interview. If that is true, it makes the article inaccurate (but in a genuinely hilarious way- what more do we expect from BLR but hilarity?). Any way to tell which is the true story? 74.177.127.26 (talk) 02:35, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Although that would be funny, the quote is from Buble's official YouTube channel, so I don't see any reason to doubt it's legit. 28bytes (talk) 18:21, 8 June 2013 (UTC)

Missing information

The article needs to be expanded to cover BLR's film and TV overdubs, particularly Game of Thrones (aka Medieval Fun-Time World) which received major press coverage earlier this month, and The Walking Dead, which crossed over into BLR's musical work by including an original song. 68.146.70.124 (talk) 13:12, 22 October 2013 (UTC)

so why didn't you do that?Happy  monsoon day  00:29, 9 June 2014 (UTC)

directory

if you want to argue that the list of blr songs and videos violates the WP:NOTDIR rule, please point to the specific ordinance that you think it violates, and provide an explanation of precisely how it violates that rule. six are mentioned: a list of songs ain't among them. best luckHappy monsoon day 19:32, 26 November 2014 (UTC)

New Songs

BLR posted a new song I'm sorry but I cannot update the page KittenDude172 (talk) 03:26, 11 January 2018 (UTC)

Indeed. He did release the Judy Moonlight song featured in the Mark Zuckerberg hearing video, a fictional oldie now posted on a YouTube channel of the artist "Faron North" (gee I wonder if that's an anagram?) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC5wRYw-uz-Bk4_6NJhDdzxw/featured

Someone may want to include this in the page. I don't feel like doing that, because it might reveal my identity ;-) 95.97.55.62 (talk) 10:09, 10 October 2018 (UTC)
