Mash-ups

If only presidential campaign videos all looked and sounded this cool. YouTube user Hugh Atkin's latest upload has racked up tens of thousands of views in just a matter of days. Why? Because if you take Eminem's "The Real Slim Shady" and replace the original lyrics with Mitt Romney quotes, and make it rhyme perfectly, you get the internet to "please stand up" and pay attention.

The silly people who brought us the revamped (and now Oscar-winning) ‘The Muppets’ movie have created something even more fun. To promote the release of the movie on DVD and Blu-ray in a couple of weeks, Disney and The Muppets offer up their own mash-up spoof of ‘The Hunger Games.’

The fact that Ben Schwartz, who plays the scene-stealing Jean-Ralphio on the NBC sitcom 'Parks and Recreation,' looks a bit like 'Amazing Spider-Man' star Andrew Garfield is something we've noticed. In fact, the first time we saw 'The Social Network,' we were briefly under the impression that Jean Ralphio was one of the creators of Facebook. The folks at College Humor have also seen this resemblan

The classic Saturday morning sitcom 'Saved By The Bell' wasn't afraid to occasionally dip into darker themes. In the video below, these "very special" plotlines are rendered highly comedic by having the upbeat "wooo" sound that excited studio audiences make inappropriately played after the most intense of these moments.

Pop music and politics are far from strange bedfellows, from country musician Kinky Friedman's famous unsuccessful run for Texas Governor to Herman Cain's incessant quoting of the theme from 'Pokemon 2000: The Movie'. This crossover, between Lady Gaga and Pres. Barack Obama, however, will be stuck in our heads for quite some time.

Among other things, 2011 will be known as the year the 'Harry Potter' film series came to a close, and the year of LMFAO's mega hit 'Party Rock Anthem.' The two become one in this 'Harry Potter'/'Party Rock Anthem' mash up, courtesy of the creative musicians Best Day Ever.

We can expect a lot of mash-ups and clever edits with 'The Dark Knight Rises' trailer that debuted last month. We've seen one with cats, and now there's a new one, which combines scenes from the classic Disney film 'The Lion King' with the audio from the trailer for the next Batman flick. It's a mash-up that somehow manages to be both scary and...adorable!

December is the time when we wrap up the year and take a look back. Every year, DJ Earworm puts together a video mashup that sums up the year in music, and he has just released his 'United State of Pop (World Go Boom)' for 2011. Besides Katy Perry and Rihanna, the mix features people like Adele, LMFAO, Lady Gaga, and other pop stars of the past year (but no Bieber!)

What if, instead of a clever comedy about a large, blended family, the hit sitcom 'Modern Family' was a horror movie about a disturbed teenaged girl? That's the question posed by YouTube user Trevorama in this clever mash-up.

In what may be one of the most ambitious mashups ever, a German DJ combines 29 pop hits from 2011 into a single song that clocks in at slightly more than four minutes. It should have been a mess, but the track is remarkably coherent and a ton of fun.

We didn't think anything could make 'Star Wars' cooler. But then we saw this remix of the sci-fi classic featuring the music of AC/DC and instantly knew we were wrong.

Last summer, mashup artists Kurt Schneider and Sam Tsui released their 'Summer Pop Medley,' racking up more than three million views on YouTube in the process. Now the producer and singer are back with 'Summer Medley 2011,' in which they deftly blend snippets from Lady Gaga's 'The Edge of Glory,' Katy Perry's 'Last Friday Night,' the LMFAO singalong 'Party Rock Anthem' and more of 2011's biggest p

This video has fun with the first name Wes and imagines what it would have been like if Wes Anderson -- not Wes Craven -- directed 'Scream.' Horror goes twee below.

'Beauty and the Beast,' '101 Dalmations,' 'Mulan' -- all your favorite animated Disney characters go to a dark and noirish place in this Walt Disney-'Sin City' trailer mash up.

Using footage from 'Pee Wee's Big Adventure' and the dialogue from 'Footloose,' this mash-up trailer casts Pee Wee Herman as the nimble-legged newcomer who fights to bring dance back to the town of Bomont.
