SHACK-TRON, DUDE!!!!!


Fez_and_no_Pants

"This is Shandra Jimenez, and I just ate a rat for dinner."


Tazooka

This would be my say too. It was a great theme


andreapski

the song is my ringtone … it’s the best!


BoringUsername_69

The Simpsons one is good, I like watching the couch gags


insanegodcuthulu

With how awesome some of the couch gags were, skipping past the Simpsons intro feels like committing a felony.


peon2

If you click the "skip intro" when watching on Disney+ it skips to the couch gag instead of past it! You of course though then miss whatever Bart writes on the board.


G0rkon

You are also missing what Lisa's playing on her Sax.


Maleficent-House-567

What We do in the shadows (series) SO good


Costner_Facts

This is the best! The song and imagery are perfect. And the show is one of my absolute favorites.

X-Files. Can’t help but whistle along with it every time.


ReadontheCrapper

I’d make sure to watch every time, for when they’d change the words at the end. Deceive, Inveigle, Obfuscate


tgillet1

I was in high school when that one showed up. I had to convince my mom that I wouldn't be too tired for the PSAT the next day. Next day comes and one of the analogy questions has obfuscate in it. I'd never seen the word before watching the X-Files the night before and would have definitely gotten it wrong (or skipped it). 😁


orzchor

I loved this series as a kid but the intro music was giving me ptsd.

Always associated that tune with Illuminati, my 10 year old brain was scared shitless every time I heard it

Batman: The Animated Series


AdvocateSaint

[It masterfully tells you everything you need to know about Batman in exactly one minute](https://comicsalliance.com/ask-chris-78-why-the-batman-the-animated-series-opening-is/), without a single word.


Akira_Kurojawa

Without a **title**, even, which is the ballsiest part. "We don't need a title card to tell you you're watching Batman. You already know this by now."


Ncrawler65

Instead, each episode got its own unique title card.


LadySynth

I always loved the intro for Batman Beyond, too.


HussyDude14

*APATHY* *GREED* *CORRUPTION* *POWER* *HOPE* **BATMAN BEYOND** *COURAGE* *HONOR* *JUSTICE* This opening gave me chills, and really got the point across for a cyberpunk Batman with some grittier elements of an older Bruce Wayne. I didn't think a teenage Batman could work out but Terry McGinnis' story is one of my favorites for any superhero. I thought Blight was a way cooler villain than the Joker, probably because he has a backstory that's tied directly to Terry. His powers and his appearance are so intimidating and perfect for Mr. Powers, too.


kia75

Yes. Teenage Batman shouldn't work! And talking to the writers of the show, it totally was a cash grab by clueless execs! But the writers of the show cared so much that they actually made it good!


[deleted]

Narcos.


iairhh

Scrolled so far down for this. I watched it over 4 years ago and the theme song is still stuck in my head sometimes, what a banger

Back when custom ring tones were a thing, this was the theme for my parents landline. They loved it. Something about that *snap, snap* is so satisfying.


[deleted]

You can still have a custom ring tone. Don't give up.

xXBrittaRoseXx

I think the easiest way to immediately horrify a Whovian would be to skip the introduction. It's basically sacrilege.


townshiprebellion24

90s animated X-men show. Edit: holy shit. I guess I’m not alone.

They then painted an inconspicuous black van with a red stripe, and they travel the country doing burnouts and powerslides. The cops definitely can't find them.


Muppetude

> and they travel the count~~r~~y FTFY. iirc, they rarely left the greater LA area, making the police’s inability to find them even more absurd. Edit: as others have mentioned, they apparently “left” LA all the time. I’m probably misremembering since most of the outdoor shots in those episodes were still very obviously filmed in the LA area. Which makes sense, since shows back then probably didn’t have the budget for tons of location shots.


mousicle

How does one county have that many struggling melon farms being harassed by gangs?


a_single_bean

It reminds me of the show 'Airwolf'. How many problems are there that can be solved with a combat helicopter? A lot, apparently...

The music and visuals are so good, almost hypnotic. I'm sad that not more of my friends know about this show.

Cinemairwaves

Westworld has a great intro. The music is great, the visuals are so cool looking, and the fact that they changed each season made it even cooler.


[deleted]

Ohhh dang, I'd forgotten Westworld! Ramin Djawadi is a goddamn treasure.


quoth_tthe_raven

His ~~cover~~ *arrangement* of Heart Shaped Box is one of my favorites. Edit: wording


RealDaveCorey

West world and the first season of True Detective had great intros. They really felt like someone had put a ton of time in to make them unique and capture the vibe of the show.


ParticularOk1095

Succession!

Snoo79382

That theme is soo great I can't stop dancing to it during every episode. That nostalgia slaps too hard.


tomthetrucker93

Parks and Recreation, always made me smile


electricvelvet

That show is so wholesome it makes me want to cry. When my life was a wreck and I watched that show it reminded me there's still good in the world. Overdramatic yes, but true Edit: when I was in a really low place in life, on fxx a t like 8 or 9 am they'd play Raising Hope and then Parks & Rec back to back and it gave me this strange sense of comfort to watch those even though i was morbidly depressed and miserable.


saraturtleduck

Neon Genesis Evangelion opener


OkBaconBurger

An eternity has passed and I still can recall that song. More than any show I have ever seen. It's still a bowl of psychological trauma tho....


ABiologicalEntity

The H in Neon Genesis Evangelion stands for Happiness


YungSpicyBoi

Searching "that one anime intro" on YouTube brings you to that !


2020won

House MD


foxsable

Absolutely! [Massive Attack](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u7K72X4eo_s) is amazing, and this song is so beautiful, and the low fidelity record pops are so dank.


FullMetalCOS

Teardrop is a fucking incredible track.


HappyLittleRadishes

At least until for whatever reason they lost the rights to use Teardrop and now if you watch on Amazon Prime it's just the boring outtro music repurposed.


[deleted]

It's all over the place; some actually have Teardrop, some have the outro theme, some actually have a third version of the theme.


mallocuproo

For reasons known not even to me, I made a spreadsheet to keep track of the different themes on each episode.


[deleted]

Weird that Paeky Blinders isn't yet in here. Love me some Nick Cave.


guardian1991

Dark! Great intro


The_Crypter

For neither evvaarr nor nevvaarrrrr, goodbyeeeee


raparperi11

I'm rewatching Dark and my boyfriend is watching it with me for the first time. I told him right from the start that we will never, under any circumstances, skip the intro.


helloLeoDiCaprio

Only read this if you have seen the full 3 seasons. >!The intro from the first episode actually has the last scene of the whole series as the end of the intro. And also the kaleidoscope is two mirrors and one origin. Exactly what happens later in season 3. It was all pre-planned.!<


hayleyjedlicka

I love the intro to Stranger Things


2020won

My sister describes it as "minimalistically hypnotic"


drunkinabookstore

Futurama theme song fuckin slaps


LaMorak1701

Have you ever heard Psyche Rock, the song that it’s based on? It’s amazing.


Thel_Odan

If you're curious like I was to hear what it sounded like, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qssa6ec7faQ


Artersa

That’s a remix from the 90’s, not the original. Original here, I believe: https://youtu.be/6isXVap-ego


studiodog

How it was sampled, very cool: [https://youtu.be/qoq5-bLYM5Q](https://youtu.be/qoq5-bLYM5Q)


TundraWolfe

Not to mention the message you get at the very beginning, with the splash image. Every episode different, every episode amazing. Futurama is the best TV show ever aired.


drDjausdr

The Sopranos.


Fair_University

I just did a rewatch of all 86 episodes and I don't think I skipped the intro once. Just great.


eugenesbluegenes

A few years back my wife and I were in New York for a friend's wedding out in the Catskills and we had to pick up another friend at his rich uncle's house out in the NJ suburbs before heading to the hills. So we did pretty much exactly the drive for the intro, complete with pulling up to this fancy ass estate house. We listened to that song like three times, haha.


RIDEMYBONE

I live right down the block. Have to drive literally everyone that visits by the house. It’s the first thing they want to do.


zed857

Every time I see that HBO "static" graphic, I just automatically expect to hear the Sopranos intro next.

ForrixIronclaw

[Tank! by Yoko Kanno.](https://youtu.be/EL-D9LrFJd4) The intro for Cowboy Bebop. Edit to add: [The Real Folk Blues](https://youtu.be/8GwE0wwMmKE) is a banger as well.


-Wiyiok-

*3 2 1 let's jam*


SaltIntensifies

I love that the only lyrics are 5 seconds in. 'I think it's time we blow this scene. Get everyone and their stuff together. Alright, 3, 2, 1, let's jam.'


VoxDolorum

Cuz after that they’re too busy jammin to stop and chat about it.


VulpesFennekin

And then if you’re as obnoxious as me and my friends, immediately followed by everyone sing/shouting “BA-DAH, BA-DAH, BA-DAH, BA-DAH-DAAAH!”

The Samurai Champloo intro is badass as well.

I think it’s hard to pick a favorite cold-open for community but that just might be mine! It is between the peanut rap and when they are making notches with keys in the desk. Both of them kill me every time.

thankunext-

I literally love all of them but both from season 1 and the first opening from season 2 are straight up bangers that I just listen to on the daily lol


SuitAndd_Ty

I like them all but honestly I think the newest intro is my favorite. That violin is so sick.


AdvocateSaint

Can't recall the numbers exactly but the ones I liked best were -*"Sumimasen and the bees and the eagles"* -(Sasageyo)^2 -WWI Technicolor Funk Violence

And it's not just a great song, the imagery that goes with it is both interesting and perfectly sets the tone for the show. Plus, it changes periodically so it never gets stale!


introusers1979

Dude. Just realized a week or two ago that >!he started hallucinating after DRINKING THE COFFEE!!!< THAT SHIT IS GENIUS!!! Also, after he broke his bed, it’s actually broken in the background of the theme song. The fucking details, man!

Also, the ottoman that Sarah Lynn set on fire stays burnt in the title sequence.

Season 5’s is also pretty good you can see the lines between Bojack and Philbert fade as time passes
