(VIDEO!!) Movie Trailer Mash-Ups

The audio mash up was one of the most genre-bending musical phenomenoms in recent memory. Take two or more songs that have absolutely nothing in common, mix 'em together and viola, you have something new and different. One of my personal favorites was entitled "Bootysticious", and it was a tasty little mix of Destiny Child's "Bootylicious" and Stevie Wonder's "Superstition".

Fast forward to today, and audio mash ups are so last year. Video is in now, boys and girls. And what is a better video to manipulate and recalibrate than the real reason to go to the movie theater: the trailers. They're formulaic and sappy and scary or melodramatic, depending on what kind of film.

But what if someone took a movie completely out of context when editing a trailer. What if, let's say, someone thought that Jaws was a family film?

Well, now you can see for yourself.

You can admit that was funny. I won't tell anyone.

But this one is so much more amusing, the epic Charlton Heston film the Ten Commandments retold as...a teen movie?

It is as hilarious as it sounds.
