YouTube are very insistent that their closed caption audio transcription service is in beta and when you stop to test it out for yourself, you quickly realise why. It leaves a lot to be desired. But, on the upside, the gap between what is actually said and what is ‘transcribed’ lends itself to much hilarity.

Take, for example, this offering from Twish1999.
What she actually says:
I’d repair you in a flash.
What YouTube ‘transcribes’:
I’m payment for the well.
