FRIENDS OF THE GALAXY — GOTG and FRIENDS Intro Mashup

View fullsize

We’ve posted quite a few Guardians of the Galaxy mashups on our site. My favorite so far is the Star Wars mashup that cut footage from the Star Wars trilogy into a more modern style trailer that used Norman Greenbaum’s “Spirit in the Sky” and Blue Swede’s “Hooked On A Feeling” — the two songs used most heavily in the promotion of GotG. That thing was perfection. This new mashup by Robert Jones parodies the Friends intro, using the classic sitcom’s theme to introduce characters from Marvel’s runaway hit. I love/hate this mashup. I love it because it’s a funny concept executed well. I hate it because it immediately forced my brain to consider which Guardians of the Galaxy character would be which Friends character. Now I’m gonna force you to read what I came up with:

I know some of you will say Peter Quill’s womanizing makes him Joey, but his wise cracks make him more of a Chandler. Since Bradley Cooper based Rocket Raccoon on Joe Pesci, his fiery Italian-like outbursts make him Joey. Gamora’s will-they-won’t-they dynamic with Quill makes her Monica. Nebula is Rachel. Drax is Pheobe. And there’s gotta be no argument on this one, Groot is Ross. Bonus: The Collector is Gunther. *drops microphone*

*picks microphone back up* Watch the mashup, and then attempt to best my Friends/Guardians match-ups in the comments section below. Also, do you guys think the cast of Guardians of the Galaxy are guardians in real life?

At its core Guardians of the Galaxy is really about friendship. Watch as Chandler, Ross and Rachel...err...Peter, Rocket and Gamora overcome their pasts and learn about friendship and love as they fight to save the universe from their evil neighbor, Mr. Heckles...err...Ronan.
