The spoof channel's take on what was really being said during a recent Congressional roll call has Twitter LOLing.

The YouTube channel Bad Lip Reading revealed the "secret congressional codenames" for Florida Republican Representative Matt Gaetz and other GOP members of Congress in a parody video.

The channel's latest video openly mocks members of Congress by intentionally poorly lip-reading their responses during a recent congressional roll call.


You can see the video below.

Gaetz is identified as "Vain Guy," who wants everyone to "see [his] car." Louisiana Republican Representative Mike Johnson—who recently sparred with CNN anchor Jake Tapper over a GOP lie regarding the future of the Internal Revenue Service (IRS)—is referred to as "Stank Suit."

And it gets even better from there.Texas Republican Representative Chip Roy is referred to as "Chevy Dude," to which he rather unsurprisingly responds, "Penguins!"

Another is "Sad Euphoria" and yet another is "The Bees Unwashed Knees," a name that was recently "changed," according to the bad lip reading of the roll call by the House tally clerk.

As it turns out, the House tally clerk isn't too fond of another referred to only as "Le Tool," who simply lets out a yowl that can only be described as a strange cross between a cat and a cow.

And at the end, laughing maniacally, is former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, who is referred to as "Pink Ghost Thing"—owing to her hot pink suit—and yells out the following phrase:

"I got plenty of guacamole!"

Many people welcomed Bad Lip Reading's latest lampooning of members of Congress—and there appears to be a resounding favorite.


Bad Lip Reading has been adding some levity to all of the madness coming out of Washington since its 2012 debut, amassing more than eight million subscribers in the decade since.

The channel had Twitter users laughing last week after the anonymous producer who runs it published spoof clips of what was being said on the floor of the House of Representatives during the chaos that erupted after far-right Republicans led a rebellion to deny their former Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy the speakership.

McCarthy ultimately won the speakership but only after 15 rounds of votes and making numerous concessions to the far-right faction.

Tim Walz Has Epic Clapback After Nancy Mace Asks Him To Define 'Woman' During Congressional Hearing

Minnesota Governor Tim Walz had a splendid response after South Carolina Republican Representative Nancy Mace attempted to claim that his support for transgender women would bar him from recognizing fraud in his state.

Walz's appearance at the hearing comes amid conservative claims—offered with little supporting evidence—that Somali-run childcare centers in Minnesota improperly received public funds intended to support childcare for low-income families. Subsequently, the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the FBI expanded their presence in Minnesota as federal authorities froze childcare funding statewide.

Elmo Just Asked His Followers 'Where Have You Been?'—And Zohran Mamdani Had The Purest Response

Elmo, the furry red childlike monster from Sesame Street designed by Caroly Wilcox, began his life as a generic "baby monster" background filler in the 1979-1980 season of the long-running children's television program.

Originally having a gruff voice supplied by various puppeteers, Elmo found his falsetto-voiced, loving persona when Kevin Clash took over in 1985. Elmo was transformed into a three-and-a-half-year-old character designed to connect with the show's audience of preschoolers.
