Perfect Stranger Things is the mash-up everyone has been clamouring for!

Last Updated on July 30, 2021

I love mash-ups and puns, which is probably why I don't have a lot of friends (among a litany of other reasons). But I can't deny that a good mash-up or pun will definitely tickle my funny bone, and the recent JIMMY KIMMEL LIVE! sketch PERFECT STRANGER THINGS is both – a nice punny title, while also being a decently funny mash-up.

Not going to pretend this sketch is a masterpiece or anything, but it was consistently chuckle-worthy. The fact that they were able to get both cast members of the sitcom PERFECT STRANGERS – Bronson Pinchot and Mark Linn-Baker – as well as the boys from STRANGER THINGS (Finn Wolfhard, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin, and Noah Schnapp) just added to the fun. I especially liked how dark it got (such as the Demogorgon eating a dog, or the fact it ate all their friends, or them being forced to live with him after being sent to the Upside Down). It seemed to merge the elements of both in relatively clever ways.
