Stranger Things has inspired many, many, many fan-made things since its debut on Netflix. Countless artistic re-imaginings, lots of apparel, and oh-so-many Eggo-related items, but of all the things we’ve seen so far, this just might be–dare we say–the strangest.
The Bad Lip Reading team has really outdone themselves by creating a wonderfully nonsensical 18 minute “episode” of Stranger Things as if it were from the ’90s. As with most of their videos, the dialogue is absolutely absurd but–with help of Gillian Jacobs providing the voice of Nancy–we’re given a glimpse of a Hawkins, Indiana where things make even less sense than the one in the actual show. A world where Chief Harper and Joyce Byers bond over singing one of their favorite songs together and where “Marm” (formerly Barb) has a thing for Nancy and is in no way shy about making her feelings known.
As cool as the actual theme song for the Netflix show is, we’re tempted to start a petition for season three to use the campy version in the video above. The lyrics “Don’t take candy from a stranger, things like that could lead to danger. Dustin, Lucas, El, and Mike, riding on a bike to save their friend from the Upside Down!” are just too perfect and make us think the BLR team passed through a portal to another dimension where this actually is the theme song.
There’s a lot to unpack in the 18 minute clip, but what’s your favorite part of this latest Bad Lip Reading? Let’s discuss in the comments below!
