Sims/Hangover mashup beats inevitable Hangover 3 into existence

Frat-pack humor translates surprisingly well into Simlish

The Hangover and The Sims, in one place? Now you've (one assumes) seen everything! But the combination makes sense. Both The Hangover and The Sims have a strong emphasis on wacky physical hijinks; both feature an admirable economy of dialogue (the games by stylistic choice, the movies because it's hard to record in a strip club). Girls love The Sims; The Hangover is made for people whose balls are dropping right there in the theatre; Hangover 2 just made a lot of money, whereas there's a new Sims expansion you might not know about... only one thing for it. Time for a trailer mashup!

And so here we have a parody video imagining a Hangover 3 set in the suburban paradise that is the Sims' milieu of choice. You'll note that while the clip's wax-faced doll-men may lack the rugged dreaminess of the real Bradley Cooper or Zach Galifianakis' visible unshaven stench, the facsimiles are otherwise pretty credible – and while the bizarre Tyson cameo may be several layers too many of convoluted in-jokery, other videogame/movie shout-outs are a little less on the nose. The movie was made with elements of the latest Sims 3 expansion, Generations, which adds strippers and a daycare profession (neither of which were particularly hard to shoehorn in). What do you think?
