'If TV Shows Had Different Theme Songs' is a video from comedian David Elmaleh that explores how a show's atmosphere would change if it had theme songs from other shows. The video contains four remixes, each funnier than the last.
Elmaleh begins with a Mad Men/The Office remix. The dramatic claustrophobia-inducing credits roll with the theme song from The Office playing over it, completely diminishing the drama of Mad Men and making for a hilarious remix. Two more remixes follow, one of the Lost credits paired with the Modern Family theme song and the other with the Lost theme song paired with the How I Met Your Mother credits.
Possibly the funniest combination by David Elmaleh is the iconic Friends opening sequence showing the six protagonists dancing around a fountain mixed with the epic instrumental Game of Thrones theme song -- dancing around a fountain has never been so intense.
