Moonwalking Pony Beats Harlem Shake For Most Viral Video On The Internet

According to Unruly, which tracks the most-shared videos on YouTube, this ad for U.K. mobile network Three is the most viral video on the internet right now. In fact it beat out two versions of the Harlem Shake (one by "The Simpsons," the other by the Miami Heat) for the number one spot.

The ad was made by Wieden + Kennedy, the folks who brought us the Old Spice man, and exceeded one million views on YouTube in its first weekend.

But the ad is also very social. Unruly's statistics say it has been shared more than 500k times on Facebook, Twitter, and other social platforms since it first went online on Friday. It has been shared almost 200k times before noon today alone.

Three is doing its best to make sure that it lives on in the Twitterverse as well. The hashtag #DancePonyDance plays at the end of the video and even other companies are tweeting about it.

Second Sync, which analyzes Twitter conversations, says that the video generated 14k tweets within five hours of its internet premiere Friday.
