Koopa's lips are off-screen when he says "Bob-omb." Watching the clip closely, though, his lips don't seem to move in the split-second before they go offscreen.

When that shot was originally shot, did Dennis Hopper actually say anything, or was it just a silent reaction shot that later had "Bob-omb" dubbed over it?

His cheek twitches ever so slightly as the word is uttered, so I would assume he's at least saying something.

Could that not just be YouTube's bad habit of audio desynchronization?

No. That's actually how the scene went.

It's hard to whisper the word Bob-omb, but I think he did an ok job.

I'm not in a position to watch the clip, but now that you mention it, it did sound... off. I mean, I didn't even remember that scene until I saw the Nostalgia Critic review.

It always sounded to me like they were calling it "The Bomb," because "bubbOMB" never sounded anything less than goofy to me, and because I was already leaving a lot of room for stuff the movie would get wrong

I'm pretty sure he says it, it just happens right when his mouth moves off-screen so it looks funny.
