If you are a fan of pop culture and are also looking for a way to [procrastinate online](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/boring-button), Random Pairing is the comic blog you're going to want to browse through. From Ben Greene, the site contains comics that combine random television shows, movies and books to comedic effect.

The Random Pairings truly are just that -- from Boy Meets World and Star Wars to the Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind and Parks and Recreation. While there is no shortage of [pop culture mashups](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/puma-x-rick-and-morty-mb05) on the internet (and especially on tumblr), the blog's creator intentionally set out to create combinations that did not have a purpose. By cutting up titles from the different categories and picking them at random, the comic blog ensures the elements are unrelated.
