'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](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/how-i-met-your-mother-1).

Possibly the funniest combination by David Elmaleh is the [iconic Friends opening sequence](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/friends-meal) showing the six protagonists dancing around a fountain mixed with the epic instrumental [Game of Thrones theme song](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-stranger-things-theme) -- dancing around a fountain has never been so intense.
