>>> BEST NEW THING IN THE WORLD. WE HAVEN'T HAD ONE IN SO LONG.
ALL RIGHT. YOU READY?
HERE WE GO. WE'RE GOING TO START WITH A
SHOUT OUT TO THE THING THAT KEPT ME SANE DURING THE 2016
ELECTION, WHICH WAS BAD LIP READING.
>> I WANTED, YOU KNOW, I JUST WANTED REGULAR POTATOES.
BUT GUESS WHAT? SO DID OTHER PEOPLE.
I WANTED IT THE MOST SO LIKE I'M --
>> YOU JUST FROZE A BABY. YOU JUST FROZE A BABY.
GENITAL WARTS, YOU TOUCHED A GENITAL WART.
YOU CAN'T TOUCH IT. >> THIS PIECE GOES OVER HERE.
IT'S PART OF THE TREE. >> CARSON.
>> AGHH! >> I HAVE A GLASS CHILD THEY
CALL THE KID LITTLE BONG-BONG. BUT WE HAVE ONE IN A CAVE AND I
PEEK AT THEM BECAUSE IT'S NOT A REAL ONE.
>> YOU GOT TO LOVE BERNIE BOY. HE IS CRAZY!
HAAA. >> HELP.
MMM, I'M GOING BARF. >> I PRETEND I LIKE YOU.
>> YOU'RE A CREEP. >> I THINK YOU'RE OLD LIKE DIRT.
>> THE GUY IS THE BOSS, YOU KNOW.
>> JUST REMEMBER WHO BROUGHT YOU HERE.
>> THANK YOU, MY PRINCE. >> A LOT OF WORK GOES INTO BAD
LIP READING. SOMETIMES HAVE TO WAIT A LONG
WHILE BEFORE THE NEXT ONE COMES OUT.
MANNA FROM HEAVEN. THERE WAS A MOMENT TODAY WHEN WE
WE THOUGHT WE HAD DISCOVERED A NEW PREVIOUSLY UNSEEN BAD LIP
READING VIDEO. WE THOUGHT WE HAD FOUND IT IN
THE WILD. >> A TSUNAMI, HOW THEY DO THE
SKINNY RITA, THE ALL FRUITS THAT THEY SMASH UP.
>> I WANTED TO BARK AT YOU THE WAY I GET BARKED AT.
>> TAQUERIA TSUNAMI. I GET BARKED AT SKINNY RITA.
OTHER THAN THE FACT THAT WE CLEARLY DON'T KNOW WHO THOSE
PEOPLE ARE, THAT CLEARLY IS A BAD LIP READING CLASSIC, RIGHT?
YOU'D THINK. BUT IT'S NOT.

IT TURNS OUT THAT IS VIDEO OF KAREN HANDEL, THE REPUBLICAN
CANDIDATE IN GEORGIA'S SPECIAL ELECTION FOR CONGRESS.
NOW, WE'VE SEEN POLITICIANS DO A VERSION OF THIS BEFORE.
THEY RECORD THESE VIOLENTLY AWKWARD LONG VIDEOS OF
THEMSELVES SMILING OR WORKING OR APPEARING TO TALK TO PEOPLE.
AND THEN THEY JUST LEAVE THE VIDEOS OUT THERE ON THE INTERNET
SO SUPERPACs CAN COME ALONG AND GRAB UP THAT FOOTAGE AND USE IT
IN COMMERCIALS. POLITICIANS DO THIS NOW.
BUT IN THE CASE OF POOR KAREN HANDEL RUNNING AGAINST JON
OSSOFF, IN THE CASE OF POOR KAREN HANDEL, THEY FORGOT TO
MUTE THE SOUND. >> OKAY.
ONE MORE TIME AND LOOK UP AND GIVE ME A BIG SMILE.
YOU KIND OF FALL OFF THE SMILE. ACTION.
AND ACTION. ACTION.
>> I'M JUST TRYING TO THINK WHAT I WANT TO ORDER YOU TO DO.
>> SHE PUTS THE IN MY NOSE AND THEY HAVE TO WAIT FOR TO IT DRY.
HOLD STEADY. HOLD STEADY.
POW! I FELT LIKE SOMEBODY HAD SLAPPED
THE BACK OF MY HEAD. >> NOW I HAVE TO SIP MY COFFEE.
>> NOW I HAVE TO SIP MY COFFEE. NOW THE WORLD KNOWS KAREN HANDEL
IS TALKING ABOUT MARGARITAS AND NOSE HAIR WAXING, CAN A SUPERPAC
STILL MAKE AN AD USING THESE VIDEOS?
IT'S RUINED KNOWING THEY'RE TALKING ABOUT THE FALLEN OFF THE
SMILE. WE DON'T KNOW.
I DON'T KNOW. BUT I COULD WATCH THIS THING ALL
DAY. I ACTUALLY DID WATCH THIS ALL
DAY. AND I'M QUITE SURE THAT KAREN
HANDEL'S B ROLL WITH THE VOLUME ALL THE WAY UP, AT LEAST FOR
THOSE WHO COVER POLITICS ALL DAY, THIS WAS DEFINITELY THE
BEST NEW THING IN THE WORLD.
>> WHAT YOU DOING? IT'S A GOOD THING I DIDN'T GO IN
THE DRAWER AND GET MY GUN, I MIGHT HAVE SHOT THE GUY.
>> THEN YOU HAVE TO DRAG HIM OUT OF THE HOUSE.
>> IS THERE AUDIO? >> YEAH, THERE IS AUDIO.
>> YEAH. YEAH, THERE IS AUDIO.
FOR THE WHOLE LONG STRETCH OF
