Mash-ups

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 resemblance, and have little fun with it in a video that mixes scenes from 'The Amazing Spider-Man' trailer with footage of Schwartz doing Jean-Ralphio on 'Parks & Rec.'

The classic Saturday morning sitcom 'Saved By The Bell' wasn't afraid to occasionally dip into darker themes.

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'.

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.

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 pop hits into one smooth four-minute creation.
