[YouTube](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiversus) user Brian Anderson put together a [faux fighting game](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-office-2) in commemoration to the cult comedy series. The 'Bluthfighter' video features George Oscar Bluth Jr. and Tobias Fünke getting it on Street Fighter style. Each character possesses a move-set that’s properly curated for the characters. The video also showcases other characters in the series, but sadly none of the other family members -- it would’ve been great seeing Lucille Bluth in a fight with a move-set solely based on her alcoholism. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.4/10 - Popularity: 6% | Activity: 28% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 70% men, 30% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Pop Culture](https://www.trendhunter.com/popculture) > [Internet](https://www.trendhunter.com/internet) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Parody Videogames:** The trend of creating parody videogames based on popular TV shows or movies is on the rise, offering a unique and humorous gaming experience. - **Nostalgia Gaming:** Nostalgia gaming is becoming popular with the reimagining of beloved characters and franchises, attracting fans with a sense of familiarity and nostalgia. - **Crossover Entertainment:** The trend of crossover entertainment, such as combining different TV shows or movies, presents opportunities for new and unexpected experiences for fans. ### Who This Affects Most - **Video Game Industry:** The video game industry can capitalize on the trend of creating parody videogames by developing innovative and humorous gaming experiences based on popular TV shows or movies. - **Entertainment Industry:** The entertainment industry, including TV shows and movies, can explore the potential of nostalgia gaming by reimagining beloved characters and franchises to attract nostalgic fans. - **Digital Content Creation:** The digital content creation industry can leverage the trend of crossover entertainment by producing unique and unexpected collaborations between different TV shows or movies. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Ever-Expanding Game Universes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiversus-season-1.md) - [Drag Culture Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/drag-her-video-game.md) - [Gaming-Inspired Anime Figures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/gaminginspired-anime-figures.md) - [QSR Icon Game Characters](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chef-colonel-sanders.md) - [Streaming Series Video Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/thronglets-game.md) - [Sci-Fi Series-Inspired Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-puzzle-tales.md) - [Action Anime Game Collabs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/minecraft-dragon-ball-z.md) - [Returning Fan-Favorite Fighting Games](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/multiversus-2.md) - [Revived Retro Animations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stranger-things-animated-series.md)
