Let me just say that those moves are against the rules...

Although it is funny.

What is the Bongcloud Gambit declined?

Against the rules... only if you play by those rules.  This is how my 5 year old nephew plays when he gets tired of playing by regular chess rules.

It's when black captures White's king with White's dead pawn.  The king is instantly reborn on e1, and white must try a different strategy.  If he tries the Bongcloud Gambit again with 2. Kxe2, Black can play the same move again.  If this sequence is repeated again, the game will be a draw by threefold repetition of position.

Very interesting analysis. With recent findings the original romantic lines don't hold up in longer games but you have breathed new life into this fascinating concept. The Flank Rush variation might bring the Bongcloud Gambit back in vogue at he top levels.

1. Kxd2 the Queen's Cannon variation also has some potential but has a lot of problems when black responds with 1... Kxd7 the Arms Race Defence. The original is still probably the most practically deadly weapon in blitz and rapid chess though so don't hesitate to use it.
