YouTube user Merfish has recreated some popular TV show theme intros in the video game Grand Theft Auto V [NSFW]:
The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air Full House Arthur Family Matters
Game of basketball: approximated with man in basketball-themed helmet
Violent conflict: rendered with high fidelity
Sounds like GTA to me.

These are amazing! I know nothing about GTA. How difficult is it to make these videos with the game?

PC version only. You can record clips while playing the game, or go into a special "Director's Mode" which lets you change characters/costumes, choose location/time of day, and turn off cops and dying. The video editor is pretty simple, and you can change camera angles and settings after-the-fact, apply effects/shaking, etc.
Filming vehicle stunts is simple, but getting characters to interact in ways other than person-running-away-from-person-with-axe ways is tricky, since you can't really give cues. People have been using plugins to make this easier.
Also you can play as a mountain lion and go around the city mauling people, which always makes for entertaining video ... er, or so I've heard.

Full House, ABC, Tuesday, 9pm: Michelle badly wants a mother, but her choice turns out to be her kindergarten teacher (June Lockhart), who is twice Danny's age. Meanwhile, D.J. and Kimmy trade places for one night for a school project, much to the Tanners' dismay. Also, a mountain lion goes around the city mauling people.

Just need a "Turn off cops and dying" mode for real life.

I am now about 75% sure that all of Full House was made in a video game.
