Disney Meets 'Gatsby' in 'The Great Catsby' Trailer

Emerald Catron — Mon, 13 May 2013 19:14:38 +0000

Why watch ‘The Great Gatsby’ when you could watch ‘The Great Catsby’??? We had that same thought, bu Guyism went one step farther and created this mashup using the trailer’s audio and clips from ‘The Aristocats’ to make ‘The Great Catsby.’ At least, we’re pretty sure it’s a mashup. To be quite honest, it’s been [...]

'Games of Thrones' Gets a 'Friends' Makeover

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 29 Apr 2013 14:10:31 +0000

'Game of Thrones' fans: BEWARE OF SPOILERS.

In this video -- which fuses some scenes from the hit HBO fantasy series with the fluff-filled 'Friends' opening of our yesteryear -- we're pleasantly reminded of how glad we are that 'Game of Thrones' didn't come out during the '90s. And while this isn't the first 'GoT' opening theme mash-up we've se

Nine Inch Nails Meets 'Call Me Maybe' in Mind Bogglingly Perfect Mashup

Emerald Catron — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 15:55:40 +0000

We don't know how this makes us feel. Basically, we're just glad we're not angry. This lucky genius has taken a part of our childhood and, rather than ruining it, changed it in a way that doesn't fill us with boiling rage, which is usually what happens when we hear anything 'Call Me Maybe' related these days.

Taylor Swift's 'I Knew You Were Trouble' Meets Nic Cage in Greatest Mashup Ever

Kyle Dowling — Mon, 04 Mar 2013 18:45:10 +0000

As if we didn’t already love Taylor Swift enough, this remix of her ‘I Knew You Were Trouble‘ single might actually be better than the original. Turns out all she needed was a little bit of Nicholas Cage. Okay, so it’s not really a remix, but there’s some pretty good editing in here nonetheless. This video, which [...]

The Best (and Most Hilarious) Screaming Goat Remixes on the Web

Emerald Catron — Tue, 26 Feb 2013 16:07:32 +0000

Now that we think of it, why wouldn't you add footage of screaming goats to as many songs as you possibly could? Needless to say, this new internet trend makes much more sense to us than Harlem Shake videos or teenage

Oscar Movie Mashups We Want to See

Christine Gritmon — Wed, 20 Feb 2013 21:55:37 +0000

Around awards season it can seem like if you’ve seen one Oscar contender, you’ve seen them all. The same rote drama, suspense, beautiful actresses playing ugly…it can grow tiresome. We’ve livened up a few of the films that have received Oscar nods by mashing them together to form new movies we’d actually want to see. Because seeing Ralph smash 19th [...]

Watch Lance Armstrong Sing 'Creep' During His Oprah Interview

Kyle Dowling — Tue, 29 Jan 2013 21:05:04 +0000

We were all thinking it, right? While the entire world was watching Lance Armstrong in his no holds barred interview with Oprah, aka America's nosy mother, we had no idea he was singing one of Radiohead's most popular hits.

'Facemath' Wins Best Tumblr of the Year — 2012 TheFW Awards

Emerald Catron — Wed, 16 Jan 2013 22:15:26 +0000

In this year's battle for best Tumblr, there is a clear winner. Facemath! It's the hilarious blog that adds up faces to make other faces. The site won by a wide margin, beating second place Tumblr McKayla Is Not Impressed by 21%. Coming in third was Dogshaming. You

Here's Your Inevitable 'Django Unchained' Meets 'Blazing Saddles' Supercut

Kyle Dowling — Thu, 27 Dec 2012 16:31:21 +0000

With Quentin Tarantino's new film 'Django Unchained' garnering a myriad of reviews and opinions, one YouTube user decided to show that perhaps the movie isn't too far from another Spaghetti Western flick of the past -- Mel Brooks' comedy 'Blazing Saddles.'

The Best Viral Videos of 2012 Mashed Up Into One

Emerald Catron — Mon, 24 Dec 2012 19:45:45 +0000

Instead of thinking of all the time you could have saved not looking at the internet all year and only watching this video once, let's just be thankful for the reminder that THAT ADORABLE LITTLE DUCKLING EXISTS!!!! The soundtrack is of course, 'Gangnam Style,' so if that song has started to make you want to burn your ears off, you might want to turn the volume down

Can You Name Every Viral Video and Meme In This Mash-Up?

Emerald Catron — Fri, 14 Dec 2012 14:22:25 +0000

Wow, that’s a lot of internet crammed into one video. We tell you what — if you can name every meme and viral video that this video references, we’ll give you a prize. Okay, we won’t give you a prize, but the company that made the video, Klick Health, just might. They’re giving away a trip, a [...]

Watch Zack Morris Pitch Friendship Bracelets to 'Shark Tank'

Emerald Catron — Fri, 07 Dec 2012 19:18:36 +0000

We’ve never seen ‘Shark Tank,’ because it doesn’t feature animals or hillbillies, but we already know it will never be as good in real life as it is in this video. It’s a mash-up of ‘Shark Tank’ and that episode of ‘Saved by the Bell’ when Zack Morris pitches his friendship bracelet business idea. Excellent [...]

'Reading Rainbow' Gets Awesome YouTube Remix

Amanda Ferris — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 19:35:37 +0000

Hundreds of children have grown up watching LeVar Burton on the PBS show ‘Reading Rainbow’ and learned to love reading, thanks to Burton’s positive teachings. He implored children all across America to read and use their imagination, as it would take them to the heights of the moon and to new countries across the sea. [...]

Watch a Surprisingly Good Korn and Taylor Swift Mash-Up

Emerald Catron — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 14:51:01 +0000

We have to commend YouTuber Isosine for hearing the similarities between Korn’s ‘Coming Undone’ and Taylor Swift’s ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together.’ He also deserves credit for being maybe the only person who would listen to both of those songs. Good job. The result is a remarkably believable mash-up. It definitely marks the [...]

Epic Mash-Up Jams Every 2012 Pop Hit Into Eight Minutes

Emerald Catron — Tue, 04 Dec 2012 16:32:03 +0000

If you love dance parties, but just don’t have it in you to physically move for more than 10 minutes without experiencing chest pain, here you go! This pop “danthology” squeezes 55 songs that got stuck in your head at the grocery store this year into eight minutes. Depending on your tastes, this is either [...]

Bacon Pancakes Plus Jay-Z Equals Best 'Adventure Time' Remix Ever

Emerald Catron — Fri, 23 Nov 2012 20:30:24 +0000

Just when you thought Jake the Dog singing about making bacon pancakes couldn’t get any better, it does. Thanks, internet. This is a remix of that catchy little tune with the Alicia Keys hook from ‘Empire State of Mind.’ Go ahead and try not to watch it on repeat. It’s only 46 seconds long, so [...]

Watch an Awesome Music Mashup Created Over 93 Days

Cameron Simcik — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 19:21:11 +0000

We're huge fans of music mashups, because there are tons of different types. Presidential versions and ones involving staplers top our list as favorites so far. There's also that Leo Dicaprio and 'My Little Pony' video that may or may not have weird-ed us out for a while. Well, recently we discovered another mashup artist who's upping the game by recreating a famous piece by composer and pianist Edvard Grieg. (Chances are you'll recognize the tune.)

The Best Disney / Star Wars Mash-Up Art

TheFW Staff — Tue, 30 Oct 2012 22:29:12 +0000

The geekosphere was rocked today with the announcement that Disney has purchased Lucasfilm, the home of 'Star Wars,' for $4 billion. If that wasn't enough to inspire "Goofy shot first" jokes, Disney also announced plans to release a new 'Star Wars' movie in 2015 which will not be written or directed by George Lucas. (The creator fans love to hate will stay on in a creative consultant capacity.)

But fans of both "a galaxy far, far away" and The Mouse House have been creating awesome mash-up artwork as long as the internet (or at least DeviantArt) has been around.

'Modern Family' as a Horror Movie Will Give You Clown Nightmares

Jeremy Taylor — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 17:30:52 +0000

‘Modern Family’ is a fairly traditional sitcom in that it hasn’t broached the topic of psychotic killer clowns terrorizing neighborhoods. However the ABC show did introduce Fizbo he Clown back in 2009. While Fizbo — who is actually Eric Stonestreet’s Cameron character in old-timey clown makeup — was well intentioned, his antics actually did get somebody sent to [...]

'The Exorcism of Honey Boo Boo' Is the Scariest Horror Mash-Up Ever

Donald Deane — Thu, 25 Oct 2012 15:47:57 +0000

After numerous clips of Honey Boo Boo's shenanigans, including feigned narcolepsy while chatting with Dr. Drew and a hyperactive freakout on a local news show, we've finally figured out what's wrong with her -- she's possessed by demons!

Watch the 1994 Trailer for 'Looper'

Emerald Catron — Mon, 08 Oct 2012 19:15:27 +0000

Thanks to some clever editing by Screen Junkies, 'Looper' is now a remake of a 1994 Disney movie with the same stars. They spliced together footage from Bruce Willis movie 'The Kid' and JGL's 'Angels in the Outfield' to make a movie with a plot not unlike that of 'Looper.'

YouTube Stars Cover 'Call Me Maybe'

Emerald Catron — Fri, 05 Oct 2012 20:14:05 +0000

We realize it's a little bit late in the game to be putting out 'Call Me Maybe' covers, but we can make an exception out of usefulness. This video might come in handy if you are brand new to the internet and want a crash course in YouTube successes. It's pretty much every video that ever made a dro

Spongebob Gets Dramatic Re-Cut for 'Plankton's Heist' Trailer

Emerald Catron — Wed, 03 Oct 2012 18:52:05 +0000

Apparently the music from ‘Inception’ can make pretty much anything seem hyper-dramatic. With its help and a little editing, Spongebob’s movie gets transformed into an intense heist film. Not that we’re surprised — a person can only hear so many horn blasts before they start to take things very, very seriously. That is a scientific [...]

U Can't Touch This Obama/MC Hammer Mashup

Emerald Catron — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 16:16:06 +0000

Remember the “you didn’t build that” debacle? It turns out if you take enough of President Obama’s words out of context you can make him do a little rap song that sounds remarkably like “U Can’t Touch This” by MC Hammer. Bonus at 2:52 — turns out the president is ticklish.

'Gangnam Style' In an Elevator Is Even Weirder

Emerald Catron — Fri, 21 Sep 2012 14:00:11 +0000

How great would it be if the elevator opened in 'Terminator 2,' and PSY was inside? YouTuber Compilariz decided it would be very great and made this video of famous scenes with an opening elevator mashed up with the elevator scene from 'Gangnam Style.' Then for some reason at the end he tacked on the Hitler versio

Bruce Lee Remix Teaches You How to 'Be Water'

Emerald Catron — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 19:35:40 +0000

If you want to hear Bruce Lee beat a dude like a drum, definitely check this video out. It combines music with footage of Bruce Lee discussing his philosophy AND footage of Bruce Lee kicking people in various parts of their bodies. So if you don’t like philosophy, you can always watch Chuck Norris get [...]

Video Compilation Explains Meme Origins for Newbs

Emerald Catron — Tue, 11 Sep 2012 19:15:26 +0000

To those of you who aren’t in the know (possibly because you have actual lives), we offer this video, which provides the original context for some of the internet’s more popular memes. The “And It’s Gone” Guy, Futurama Fry, Condescending Wonka and more are shown in their original, glorious splendor, before they were turned into [...]

Jehovah's Witnesses Video Gets NSFW Remixes

Emerald Catron — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 16:45:28 +0000

First rule of the internet: You can’t put a video of people saying it’s wrong to masturbate in sign language on YouTube and expect somebody to NOT provide a soundtrack by R. Kelly. It’s going to happen. It did happen. And it was hilarious. But the fun doesn’t stop there. Why limit yourself to R. [...]

'Gangnam' Mashup Is a Terrible White Guy Party on the Go

Emerald Catron — Sat, 08 Sep 2012 14:41:08 +0000

There’s got to be an occasion when you would need a ‘Gangnam Style‘/Offspring/Bloodhound Gang/LMFAO mashup, like, say, if you somehow managed to sneak into the DJ booth at your ex’s wedding reception. Keep this video handy for when that day comes. YouTube user Steve Streza says this is his first mashup, and we have to [...]

The Funniest 'Breaking Bad' Videos on YouTube

Emerald Catron — Fri, 31 Aug 2012 15:19:20 +0000

‘Breaking Bad‘ is taking an extended mid-season break after Sunday’s no doubt thrilling episode. Really extended. Like, a year long. Then it’s going to come back and then it will be over forever. We’re having a hard time dealing with it. If you are too, or even if you’re somehow perfectly fine with all of [...]
