MLB: Bad Lip Reading Is Out And It Is Spectacular
One of the major comfort foods of the internet is back at it again, this time breaking down the best fake quotes of the season after 2,430 baseball games. I don’t know how many hours of film they go through, what part of their brains think of those absolutely ridiculous phrases, or if those fake Spanish accents will ever become problematic. But this series gets a laugh out of my simpleton brain every single time.
Here are my Top 3 bad lip readings from this video:
Bronze Medal:
Don Mattingly wearing my mom’s glasses makes me laugh every single time, even when he’s not talking about getting goosed by a fake pincher handed freak (Apologies to any pincher handed freaks out there. I’m not trying to get a hit piece written about me).
Silver Medal:
First in my heart but second on the medal stand. There are certain quotes from these videos that you just now are going to withstand the test of time and I think Airhurl is this video’s orange peanut.


I think Adrian Peterson left the Vikings just so people stopped yelling “Orange peanut” at him. I see AP in purple, I think orange peanut. I think AP in any other uniform, I think “It’s weird he’s not wearing a Vikings jersey”.
Anyway, I think Air Hurl may be added to my repertoire for the foreseeable future. I already have my strikeout fist bumps down pat.
Now I have a toss out move and a catchphrase. I’m coming for dat ass, Joe West.
Gold Medal:
Tough break for Air Hurl, which I truly believe will last the test of time (about 10 minutes in the Internet Age). But if you make a good squeaky dick joke, you get the gold medal, no matter what.
Close But No Cigar:
If the player saying that line was a Met, this would have been a viral video/gif/meme until the end of time.
