Fun With Captions

As some of you may know, YouTube is rolling out a new feature that uses an automated speech-to-text program to provide closed captioning on videos, with predictably hilarious results. I thought it would be fun to see what some of those mangled captions would sound like if spoken out loud. Some liberties have been taken to form something vaguely resembling coherent sentences.

Hysterical. Was the Apple Juice bit a side-reference to Dayjob Orchestra's Star Trek re-dubs, or is that just a common anomaly of bad speech-to-text?

"I believe I'm a runner up in the World Series!" That line gets me every time. Not just because it so Pythonesque in and of itself, but because it actually sounds like something Dornkirk might really say.
