5. Game Of Mashups
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST4LwbDOLi0 There could be a whole separate article just on Game of Thrones mashups. Seriously, there are more youtube videos that start with 'Game of Thrones as...' than there are living members of the Stark family. They all follow the same formula though, usually giving the show a lighter tone as they cut back and forth between Game of Thrones and some other familiar story. The video above, for instance, recuts Sansa & Tyrion's forced marriage so it looks like a romantic comedy complete with a sappy voice over and overplayed pop song. In short, it's genius. If you want to go on Youtube, you can find a ton of mashups. These are my favorites: Game of Thrones as Arrested Development (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i8l4ZFIxB2I) Game of Thrones as Seinfeld (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=864gdSC9KOA) Red Wedding/Princess Bride Mashup (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6AjgR7D3yg) White Panda's "Diamond Thrones" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fi5uoaGdQ78)
