The Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part I is striking box office gold this holiday week but it’s the trilogy’s second installment, Catching Fire, that has a new retelling from the ventriloquists over at Bad Lip Reading. In this version, the drama is driven not by President Snow’s sadistic murder games but by stolen fanny packs, pet iguanas and Peeta’s shocking admission that he’s a druid.
With numbers like “I Sing When I Eat Fruit” and “Smack Your Doctor,” the video reimagines the Katniss-Peeta-Gale love triangle as a batty musical. It may not make any sense, but then again neither does pitting 24 children against each other in a fight to the death.

Katniss and Peeta perform as The Obsidiots
The Hunger Games: Catching Fire Lawrence Hutcherson - H 2013
LionsgateBad Lip Reading released a new The Hunger Games: Catching Fire parody, and it is absolutely hilarious. In the video, we get to see Katniss blame Gale for stealing her yellow fanny pack, Peeta ask for a car made out of dead folks and Gale reveal he is on a cardboard diet.
Effie gets a quick musical number in the clip, as Katniss also sings and Gale treats us to a bit of humming. At the end, Peeta and Katniss start a band called The Obsidiots. Bad Lip Reading made a bonus video featuring the District 12 tributes performing their pop song “Choo Choo Go.” Watch both of the videos below.

The folks at Bad Lip Reading have rarely disappointed, but their latest dubbing—a comic, off-kilter take on The Hunger Games: Catching Fire—is perhaps their best work.
Needless to say, this won’t exactly get you up to speed for Mockingjay Part 1, but it does feature a moving, entirely hummed duet by Katniss and Gale.

Comedy YouTube channel transforms ”The Hunger Games: Catching Fire“ into a nonsensical musical While fans were hitting the theaters in large enough numbers to put the latest “Hunger Games” atop the box office for the Thanksgiving holiday weekend, the folks at YouTube channel Bad Lip Reading were releasing their own unique take on the previous installment of the franchise.

and Bummers in 2014: From 'The Giver' to 'Winter's Tale' The Bad Lip Reading take on “The Hunger Games: Catching Fire” featured even more singing than “Mockingjay – Part 1,” but Jennifer Lawrence and the rest of the cast sounded even
worse.
The channel was born in 2011 as a way to spoof music videos, but quickly expanded to include media, television and movie clips. Clips are redubbed with new voices and new words that are simply chosen to match the movement of the lips, usually leading to complete and total nonsense.

The first “Hunger Games” Bad Lip Reading video was so well-received, the stars of the popular film franchise even count among its fans. Elizabeth Banks wrote on her blog, “Bad Lip Reading is awesome.

Some of them have been wildly successful with critics and audiences, and others we're just pretending never existed. Here are some of the sequels that took forever to hit the screen.
