  • Smack the Pony was a British sketch comedy show that ran from 1999 until 2003 on Channel 4. Its title was intended to sound like a euphemism for female masturbation; the working title was Spot the Pony. The main performers and writers on the show were Fiona Allen, Doon Mackichan and Sally Phillips. There were also regular appearances from Sarah Alexander and Darren Boyd. The show's popular theme tune was Dusty Springfield's song In the Middle of Nowhere, sung by Jackie Clune. In Germany, the first transmission of the show aired on ProSieben, where the theme tune was changed to Texas' 2001 remix version of "I Don't Want a Lover". It also had a different title sequence. Among the show's regular themes were unsuccessful relationships, competition in the workplace and latent lesbianism, but sketches would also dip into the surreal; such as two women jumping from their car as they neared a parking space and brushing in front of the path of their car to allow it move forward further à la curling. Two regular strands involved a series of different women making dating agency videos about their general likes and dislikes, and a musical parody that would close the show.
  • Smack the Pony ist eine britische Sketch Comedy, die von 1999 bis 2003 auf Channel 4 lief. In Deutschland lief die Sendung in der Erstausstrahlung vom 6. September 2001 bis 29. November 2001 auf ProSieben. Die Hauptdarsteller und Autoren waren Fiona Allen, Doon Mackichan und Sally Phillips. Außerdem spielten auch häufig die Darsteller Sarah Alexander und Darren Boyd mit. Einige regelmäßige Themen, von denen die Sketche handelten, waren erfolglose Beziehungen und Konkurrenz am Arbeitsplatz, aber auch surreale Themen waren Bestandteil der Show. Außerdem gab es zwei weitere regelmäßige Sketche welche zum einen von einer Gruppe von Frauen handelten, die via Fernsehen einen neuen Partner suchen und zum anderen ein Sketch in dem sie einen eigenen Song sangen. Es entstanden insgesamt drei Staffeln sowie zwei Weihnachtsspecials. Nach der Serie spielten die drei Frauen 2004 noch einmal gemeinsam in einem Film mit: 'The Gladiatress', einer Parodie auf sogenannte 'Sandalenfilme' wie 'Gladiator' oder 'Vercingetorix '. Im Jahr 1999 und 2000 gewann Smack the Pony einen Emmy für The Best Popular Arts Show. „Smack the pony“ ist eine wenig bekannte Redewendung für weibliche Masturbation.
  • Ponille kyytiä (engl. Smack the Pony) on kolmen englantilaisen naiskoomikon, Fiona Allenin, Doon Mackichanin ja Sally Phillipsin vetämä televisiosketsisarja. Sitä alettiin esittää Englannissa vuodesta 1999 ja se kesti viitisen vuotta. Sarjalle on tyypillistä satiirinen, jopa karski huumori, joka viittaa usein seksuaalisuuteen, mutta myös muihin arkielämän ilmiöihin kuten työpaikkakiusaamiseen. On väitetty, ettei miehillä olisi mitään mahdollisuutta käsitellä arkoja aiheita sarjan esittämällä tavalla. YLE TV1 on esittänyt kahdesti kaikki sarjan osat. Sarjasta on julkaistu myös The Best Of -DVD ja keväällä 2008 sarjan ensimmäinen kausi julkaisiin DVD:nä Suomessa, Norjassa, Tanskassa ja Ruotsissa.
  • Smack the Pony è il titolo di una sit-com britannica, andata in onda dal 1999 al 2003 su Channel 4 e, in Italia, su Canal Jimmy. Il titolo è un riferimento, ovviamente eufemistico, alla masturbazione femminile. Le principali autrici e attrici, sono Fiona Allen, Doon Mackichan e Sally Phillips. Ci sono, però, frequenti apparizioni anche di Sarah Alexander e Darren Boyd. I temi ricorrenti dello show sono le relazioni amorose dai bizzarri risvolti,la concorrenza spietata e sleale nel mondo del lavoro, il latente lesbismo,le amicizie femminili con le implicazioni più demenziali, le nevrosi, le insicurezze e le debolezze quotidiane delle donne. Spesso, però, le storie sono solo schegge di puro surrealismo o semplici ed irriverenti parodìe, dall'humor tipicamente british e di grande freschezza ed originalità. Nel 1999 e nel 2000 Smack the Pony ha vinto un Emmy Award.
