What is the way to a woman’s heart? Is it chocolate? Music, romance, flowers? A great smile? Or is it something much simpler? Something a bit more primal?
Like a really hot man with an incredible body? A man whose face comes second to the muscles he’s sporting, or the package he’s holding “down south”?
That’s the question that comes into play from this fun, funny, and slightly sexy Smack the Pony video. We had no idea where this came from — we even thought it might have been a commercial for some product — but it was clearly not from the United States. It looked a little old, and the video was posted back in 2011. So, with our investigative reporting notebook in hand (and using Google) we got some answers.
This is a clip from a British comedy series called Smack the Pony that ran from 1999 – 2003. It starred Fiona Allen, Doon Mackichan, Sally Phillips, Sarah Alexander, and Darren Boyd, and it evidently won some awards. In the U.K. there was a VHS and DVD release of The Best of Smack the Pony. The complete first and second series were released on DVD in Germany, and the complete series 1–3 werre released on DVD in Scandinavia by Pan Vision and Finnkino.
According to the show’s Wiki page, “The series is currently available in the United States on Hulu.com as of at least 2012.”
All of that is beside the point, really. The screen image of a half naked guy washing windows outside of a hair salon got our attention this morning (which could tell you something about our mental state). Then, when we watched the end result of the Smack the Pony video, we knew we needed to share it with you.
