Where does the “Cursed Ponies” meme come from?
According to Know Your Meme, in July 2011 Nissan aired a Frontier ad in Brazil. A man complains that his car has “ponies” instead of “cavalos de força” (horsepower), and pink ponies come out of it singing to mock him. The ending shows them turning diabolical and launches the “pony curse”: send the video to ten friends or the song stays in your head forever. The original has about 5.6 million views, and the curse spread through remixes, forums, blogs and comments on Brazilian dubs of My Little Pony.
