The 'My Little Pony' fanboys at BronyVids have created the ultimate adventure in horsing around for the four-legged friends, appropriately called 'The Hayngover.' The video uses audio from a trailer for the 2009 film 'The Hangover' and sets it to pony animation to create a faux trailer. The final result is hilariously entertaining and unusual, creating a brightly colored and seemingly innocent cartoon that is completely inappropriate for kids.
'The Hayngover' video is is impressively accurate in timing and visuals, having one of the ponies spit out a mouth full of glittery, colorful food at the mention of the drunken Vegas wedding, and another missing a tooth for the second half of the mashup trailer. I look forward to seeing what other outrageous creations BronyVids will have in the future -- perhaps 'The Hayngover 2' is soon to come!
