What are these all caps, bad subtitles? (sh.itjust.works)

For this one show (John Oliver) I download, I always get ALL CAPS and poorly synced subtitles. The text seems OK, but it's barely usable because very off-sync. I'm curious: where do these subs come from?

The subtitles could be for an alternate release of the show that is either offset by a fixed amount or runs slightly faster or slower.

Nah, because it's like no text for 30 secs, then "3 lines per second" (faster than you can read), then more or less synced, then again too slow/too fast. That teletext explanation someone else gave is more plausible. I cannot believe that the original are that bad, so my guess is that the way they're ripped has issues.
