I’ve been perusing some old MST3K and “best of” Rifftrax commentaries on YouTube, and I’ve discovered the “Closed Caption” feature, this feature listens to the audio stream and attempts to caption the audio stream, depending on the video watched, it can range from reasonably accurate to laughably bad
It seems that the program doesn’t cope too well with dealing with two audio streams running simultaneously, so the captioning for MST3K/Rifftrax is usually laughably bad…
It adds another layer of humor to the already great MST/'Trax;
From MST3K; The Movie
(inside Exeter’s ship, approaching Metaluna)
Exeter; Observer, Normal View!
M&TB; <Singing> Normal view, Normal view, Normal Vieeeewww!
Captioning; Hello to you, Laurin
From the “Keeping clean and neat” short
<Johnny’s in the shower>
Servo; use pumice on your tender nipple-buds
Caption; almost unattainable bullets
<Johnny’s shampooing his hair>
Crow; Why couldn’t they have Mamie Van Doren star in this thing?
Caption; The Clintons had mini van doren star in this thing
Announcer; and now after the second lather when your hair is perfectly clean, rinse again
Caption; And after the picket line here would your hair is barbecuing rape again
Mike; Please remain seated until the shower has come to a complete stop
Caption;Please remain seated until the shelling has come to a full and don’t want to trust your hair
