When Israeli animator and illustrator Leigh Lahav needed to come up with a [birthday present](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/anime-music-video) for her husband Oren Mendezitsky, she needed to look no further than the most popular TV show intros on the tube.

Lahav reanimated and recreated a handful of TV show intros, all themed to her husband and his family. The intro parodies of Mad Men, Lost, Frasier, Arrested Development, Curb Your Enthusiasm, 30 Rock, and 2 Broke Girls are all skewered in the clever TV Show intro parodies. I almost feel like I know the guy just based on this video.

Lahav didn’t pull off the video entirely by herself, but she did do a a lot of the graphical design, camera work and editing by herself.
