The power of the mash-up

With the advent of YouTube, the website didn’t just bring people millions of videos within their fingertips, but it created one of the greatest inventions to come with the website: the video mash-up.

Even though the videos tend to lean more on the silly side, the art of the mash-up is a little more intricate than it looks. Timing and mood is everything and if one part doesn’t fit, the intended joke falls flat, thus losing the audience, and most of all, the video pretty much ends up sucking.

Here is a countdown of the Top 5 video mash-ups that did it right:

5) The Dark Knight Trailer Recut – Toy Story 2

What works with this trailer is that the video is edited so each character is synced up to one character and not numerous characters like the “Inception”-“Toy Story 3” mash-up. Plus, Morgan Freeman as Mr. Potato Head….I find that a classic moment. To watch this clip, click here.

4) Rick’s Rager…probably not happening

This clip features a very short scene from the 2001 independent film, “The Debut” interjected with Ridge from “The Bold and The Beautiful”. The video confirms it: Ridge’s royally pissed off and Rick’s rager really isn’t going to happen. To watch this clip, click here.

3) Carl Sagan – “A Glorious Dawn” featuring Stephen Hawking (Symphony of Science)

What can I say about this music video? It has Carl Sagan and Stephen Hawking giving you a lesson about the universe and how complex everything really is. It’s like an episode about cosmology from an adult, ambient version of “Schoolhouse Rock”. To watch this clip, click here.

2) Panda Boy Swag

I will say this: I have a serious affinity for pandas, but I despise Souljah Boy and all his songs. Despite the latter fact, I don’t know what it is about this clip that I like. Maybe it’s how the panda moves with the song and shows that it really does have some swagger. To watch this clip, click here.

1)  BIEBER, NO!

All 39 seconds of this video is glorious. There are no words to describe how great the combination is of Justin Bieber’s “Baby” and Will Arnett without ruining the video. Everyone needs to see this video at least once…or maybe five times if you really want to. To watch this clip, click here.
