Bunny Greenhouse is a Master Mash Matcher of Girl Talk Mashes



I know we all love Girl Talk here, but it's time for us to also embrace Bunny Greenhouse. Judging by how detailed and meticulously cut these mash-videos are--all based on songs from Girl Talk's new album, Feed the Animals--Mr. Greenhouse must spend all day in a dark room with a few hardrives and Final Cut and a pair of headphones. These videos get every single sample--and considering how many there are per song, that requires a lot of browsing and splicing.

These are pretty awesome to behold and give me a newer appreciation for mashing. It's most likely to make you realize just how much talent a good masher has.

The Playlist is Infinite, but Michael Cera is 5 Good Years Away from Believable Rom Com Lead

Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist

There's just something about Michael Cera in films that take place over the course of one night, right?

This looks pretty earnest and, to be honest, a bit too grown up for the leads involved. It's weird to see Cera and Kat Dennings playing people old enough to drink and, to be honest, it gives the whole trailer a weird tone. It does seem more like it should star Justin Long and Zooey Deschanel, doesn't it? Don't get me wrong, I love Cera like I love my first cousin, but great actors/comedians are miscast all the time.

But with the way its so driven by of-the-moment indie music, perhaps it could be a less smug Garden State (with more likable leads)?
