The Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Game of Thrones mashup is simply one of the best meshes to come out of YouTube.
If you're a Buffy fan, you'll immediately recognize Nerf Herder’s classic intro tune to the series. Since Buffy the Vampire Slayer series ended back in 2003, the world has just never been the same again. The Game of Thrones mashup with Buffy the Vampire Slayer breathes new life into the Buffy series. The Game of Thrones opening is subbed with Nerf Herder's tune, while showcasing images from HBO's Game of Thrones. The video by YouTube user ‘zuziako,’ features several of the main characters in the series, while being showcased in a similar manner as the intro in the Buffy intro video.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer may be gone, but the Game of Thrones mashup video is a great homage to great series.
