PONIES The Anthology

PONIES The Anthology is a twenty-minute long compilation video composed of brief AMVs (or, as they are known in the fandom, PMVs) of the cartoon series My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic. Often, the video's humor is derived from the use of profane songs or audio segments (examples include Insane Clown Posse's "Miracles", Ludacris's "Move Bitch", the "You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?" scene from Happy Gilmore, and Christian Bale's infamous on-set rant) over clips from the perfectly clean and family-friendly show, although much comedy is also derived from the use of absurdism and Literal Mindedness.

Basically? Think AMV Hell, but with the titular equinoids instead of anime.

Watch it here. It's worth noting that a sequel is in the works.

PONIES The Anthology provides examples of:


 * A Worldwide Punomenon: Pinkie Pi.
 * Affectionate Parody: Contains parodies of among other things Kanye West's "Power", a segment from AMV Hell 5, the Epic Sax Guy, and the Beavis and Butthead intro.
 * Dancing Theme: Pinkie Pie dances to the Fast Food Song.
 * Fan Vid
 * Homage: All over the place, but most notably, the video opens with a shot-for-shot remake of the music video of Kanye West's "Power". Other examples include:
 * The second of the Koyaanisqatsi segments bears an uncanny resemblance to this clip from AMV Hell 5, with Fluttershy taking Haruhi's place.
 * A redux of the Beavis and Butthead opening sequence with two of the bullies from Sonic Rainboom.
 * Mood Whiplash: Going directly from a creepy montage using the Are You Afraid of the Dark theme to Pinkie laughing like Woody Woodpecker.
 * Rapid-Fire Comedy: As in AMV Hell, the clips featured are around thirty seconds at the longest.
 * Real Song Theme Tune: Kanye West's "Power", as mentioned above.
 * Running Gag: Characters firing their lazor. Done with Fluttershy, Pinkie (twice), Spike, and, somehow, a letter to Princess Celestia.
 * Soundtrack Dissonance
 * Visual Pun: There's a lot.
