Magneto Moves with His Auntie and Uncle to Bel Air
To remind you that there’s still some magic left in this dying old planet of ours, Topless Robot presents this bit of brilliance. While doing an absolutely perfect Ian McKellen impersonation, YouTube user hunterdavis recites the lyrics to The Fresh Prince of Bel Air theme song. That’s it. Genius in its simplicity. There’s no good reason for him to do so of course, so just sit back and enjoy the randomness. (And be sure to check out his take on the opening to Saved By the Bell as well). This isn’t the first time that Will Smith’s sitcom has been mashed up with nerdcentric subject matter (ahem), nor will it be the last. Now all some enterprising nerd needs to do is grab the audio from the above video and edit it into one of the X-Men or Lord of the Rings films. That would be a glorious thing indeed. (Via Filmdrunk)
