Don’t really get it. Are they spoofing the title sequence from some other show? ---

The first paragraph of the verge article spoils the (not especially inspired) joke of the video, be warned, so a [youtube link](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DIw690VGt70) might be better. ---

Hilarious! I love the Jandrew Edits. I hope this means Andrew Hussie is starting them up again. ---

> [@Hypno-Toad](#): > > Don’t really get it. Are they spoofing the title sequence from some other show? Not that I know of, but the face of the giant alien infant suggests that Will is even less discriminating in his choice of lovers than has long been thought. ---

It was funny, but wasn’t as good as [Riker sits down](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVIGhYMwRgs). ---

> [@muldoonthief](#): > > It was funny, but wasn’t as good as [Riker sits down](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lVIGhYMwRgs). I saw the video in the OP and thought, surely episode 2 will be Will sitting down. ---

I seriously never noticed that, before. !!! And yet it’s so eminently goofy. (It’s even more hilarious when he _gets back up_ that way.)
