Oh and since there's some music in this, I'll link to this the song from the BLR Game of Thrones video "Medieval Land Fun-Time World" which is a phenomenal song.

I don't understand that's just what Ted Cruz said.

Amusing, as always, though it would have been better if every Christie one wasn't about food. That's some low-hanging fruit.

Anyone want to step to the plate and spank this one out of the park?

DAMMIT Bulgaroktonos. I hadn't watched that damn video in months and now I am laughing so hard (again) I have tears rolling down my face (again). Stupid Medieval Land Fun-Time World. Gets me every damn time.

Trump's comments indistinguishable from actual Trump comments.

daq: "Stupid Medieval Land Fun-Time World. Gets me every damn time."

I've said it before, but I would pay real money if we could get the cast of Game of Thrones to film Medieval Land Fun-Time World: The Series during their downtime while shooting GoT.

I think to some extent these are guided by the words he can make to match the mouth movements. A lot of these lip reading videos (BLR and others) talk about food. (Apple juice gets mentioned a lot, for some reason. There must be some common phrase where the lip-movements match "apple juice".) So, it's possible he didn't set out to make Christie's remarks so food-y, but he was just working with what he had.

That Kniles song totally rocks. In addition to the BLR guy's talent making comedy videos, he is a really solid musician too.

Why does Ted Cruz always looks like he's about to pull off his fake human face and reveal the 'They Live' alien face beneath?

Ted Cruz is an elaborate Will Forte experiment in just how far he can take a character.

Wait, Scott Walker is Yoni Wolf? Because his song sounds exactly like a "Why?" B-side.

Ted Cruz always looks like the unsuccessful attempt to combine realism and caricature from an early Pixar test animation that he is.

He always looks like he's wearing a latex mask of his own face.

If Trump did have a pigeon, he would definitely name it Lucas Don Velour. Because that name just exudes class.

Ugh, why did I come back to this thread? Now I've got that "Ted Cruz why do you look like a blobfish sat under a seasonal depression lamp" thing from Twitter stuck in my head right before an important meeting. Keep it together, keep it together.

I guess no one is old enough here to notice that the Ted Cruz voice was Mr. Haney from Green Acres.

I just realized that Scott Walker kind of looks like Maxwell Smart. But Smart would've made a better president.
