PonyCraft 2

Someone took the StarCraft 2 trailer and swapped in My Little Pony characters. It’s the kind of thing that should be obnoxious—smash two unrelated things together and call it a joke—but it works because the original trailer is so overwrought. All that grim sci-fi intensity, the dramatic music, the portentous narration about interstellar war, and then you’ve got ponies doing the same poses with the same dead-serious delivery. The contrast is everything. I watched it twice.
