Games of Thrones’ Red Wedding Gets a Glorious Princess Bride Mashup

Josh Wolford — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:21:44 +0000

If you haven’t seen last Sunday’s breathtaking episode of HBO’s Game of Thrones and you plan to watch it at some point – do not watch the following video.

But if you have seen it, and you enjoy a good mashup – well then, by all means enjoy the following gem from YouTube user Andrew Kasch. It’s glorious. GRANDPA THIS CAN’T REALLY BE WHAT HAPPENS, CAN IT?

If You Ever Find Yourself in a Movie, Don’t Go in a Phone Booth

Josh Wolford — Thu, 30 May 2013 21:06:08 +0000

If you ever find yourself in the middle of a movie, there’s one rule you should remember. Well, there are actually plenty of things that would be handy to know, but this one is pretty important. Whatever you do, for the love of all that is holy, do not go into a phone booth.

If you’re in a phone booth, things are going to end poorly. For the younger kids out there wondering what this “phone booth” thing is, it’s a death trap. Plain and simple. Thank the heavens for cellphones.

What Happens When Tom Cruise Swaps Faces With Jack Nicholson?

Fans of terrible 90s movies may remember Face/Off. In the film, John Travolta and Tom Cruise switch faces. Through the power of video editing magic, one YouTube parody filmmaker has brought the magic of Face/Off to other movies and celebrities.

In this famous scene from A Few Good Men, Jack Nicholson and Tom Cruise have their faces swapped. The result is actually pretty creepy:

YouTube user FaceMashups has a number of these videos. They are all equally hilarious and terrifying.

Here’s Zach Galifianakis and Kristen Stewart:

Here’s Penn Jillette and Neil deGrasse Tyson:

This Daft Punk/Soul Train Mashup is Brilliant

Josh Wolford — Thu, 23 May 2013 21:05:38 +0000

“Get Lucky,” the lead single off of Daft Punk’s new album Random Access Memories is awesome in a funky kind of way. I mean that Nile Rodgers riff, right? In fact, the whole album is awesome – but that’s another article/possible argument.

Soul Train in the 70s was also awesome. And what do you know, the two make a perfect match. Best mashup you’ll see this week, by far. Here’s DAFT TRAIN:

Here’s the Daft Punk Random Access Memories/Electroma Sync You Didn’t Know You Wanted

Josh Wolford — Wed, 15 May 2013 15:44:18 +0000

If the internet seems a bit quieter today, it’s probably because the initial rush has died down from Daft Punk’s early release of their new album Random Access Memories. Boy, that was a hell of a Monday.

While you’ve been listening to the new album two, three, four, maybe a dozen times since then, redditor fkobbe has been doing something magical. What happens when you sync Random Access Memories with Daft Punk’s 2066 film Electroma (which didn’t originally feature any Daft Punk music)? ELECTR.A.M., that’s what.

Bohemian Rhapsody in Blue Is Predictably Awesome

Josh Wolford — Fri, 03 May 2013 15:53:21 +0000

Two of the greatest compositions ever written, George Gershwin’s Rhapsody in Blue and Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody, apparently share a lot more that the word “rhapsody.” As YouTuber Scott Bradlee shows, they’re a real killer when you mash them up.

Simply beautiful:

‘Game of Thrones’ Gets the Mid-90s Sitcom Treatment

Josh Wolford — Wed, 13 Mar 2013 21:13:05 +0000

Last week, we showed you the incredible re-imagining of AMC’s hit series Breaking Bad as a mid-90s sitcom. At that time, I told you of my fondness for these types of things.

So it should come as no surprise that I’m equally as excited about this VHS-era reworking of HBO’s Game of Thrones, inspired by the Breaking Bad video.

Terrific work. Please keep it up, internet.

Breaking Bad as a Mid-90s Sitcom [VIDEO]

Josh Wolford — Thu, 07 Mar 2013 15:09:43 +0000

The first YouTube mashup that successfully and hilariously reframed a classic film/TV show to fit a different style that I remember seeing was called “Shining,” and it used clever editing and a certain Peter Gabriel song to make the classic horror film look like a family comedy.

Ever since, I’ve loved this sort of thing. With the right music and editing, you can transform any piece of media into something completely different.

Take for instance this new trailer for Breaking Bad that re-imagines it as a mid-90s sitcom. It’s wonderful.

Breaking Bad has a long and storied history of being mashed up. For more, you could check out Pinkman, the Seinfeld mashup. Or maybe this amazing mashup with an old Mentos ad.

Give This Nine Inch Nails/Call Me Maybe Mashup a Chance. No, I’m Serious.

Josh Wolford — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 19:46:31 +0000

Peanut butter & jelly, on a burger. Calling your ex-girlfriend at 3am “just to talk.” Mashing up Nine Inch Nails’ “Head Like a Hole” and Carly Rae Jespen’s “Call Me Maybe.”

One of these three things is a bad idea, and the other two are great ideas. One of the ones that is a great idea actually sounds like a terrible idea. That’s the one that you’re about to experience and most likely love. Or at least tolerate it – which is a miracle in its own way.

Seriously, I’m not kidding. It’s pretty good.

Argo Home Alone Is the Best Movie Mashup You’ll See This Week

Josh Wolford — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 16:08:55 +0000

The only thing better than Ben Affleck’s (no-longer-existent) beard is this incredible mashup of Academy Award winner Argo and perennial classic Home Alone. Trust us.
