About
HotDiggedyDemon is the online handle of the American web animator Max Gilardi. Gilardi is most well known for his series PONY.MOV, a bizarre parody of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, as well as various other parodies and original series such as Jerry and Wacky Game Jokez 4 Kidz.
Online Presence
Gilardi signed up for an account on the media portal Newgrounds in 2003.[1] He posted his first animation, The Story of Skunk Head in November of the same year, which won Daily 4th Place the day after it was uploaded.[2] In December, Gilardi uploaded Adam Android Strikes Back, which won Daily Feature.[3]
In 2007, Gilardi uploaded the first entry to the series Jerry to Newgrounds, where it won Daily Feature and User's Weekly choice; the YouTube version of this animation, uploaded in 2009, has gained over 1.8 million views.[4] In 2009, Gilardi created an official Twitter account.[5] In 2010, Gilardi created Wacky Game Jokez 4 Kids, a parodic series based around a cynical character named Mickey the Dick being forced to create video game-centered comedy sketches for the Internet. In 2014, Gilardi uploaded the short Luigi's Day Out, which featured an alternate interpretation of the Super Mario franchise, and which became one of Gilardi's most viewed non-PONY.MOV animations. In 2015, Gilardi uploaded Fazbear & Friends, a Five Nights at Freddy's parody that gained over 3.7 million views.
Gilardi also hosts his own website.[8] A HotDiggedyDemon Wikia detailing his works has also been founded.[9]
PONY.MOV
Gilardi's most famous work is PONY.MOV, a series of parodies based on the animated television show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. The first episode, APPLE.MOV has been viewed over 10 million times since its upload in October of 2011. The third episode, SHED.MOV, has slightly more views than the first episode. The series spawned a spin-off Tumblr ask blog featuring the series' interpretation of the character Applejack, as well as a Twitter feed for Paco, a Mexican boy who was shown to work as a laborer for the series' version of the character Rarity.[6][7]
"Steven Jewniverse" Controversy
On May 1, 2015, Gilardi uploaded an image to his personal website featuring the character Steven from Steven Universe with stereotypical Jewish traits, based off of the title of a YouTube Poop by Pooper Dikekike.[10] The image received mixed reactions; many Steven Universe fans on Tumblr were upset from the mix of the show with Gilardi's shock humor, while 4chan's /co/ (Comics & Cartoons) board praised the image for causing reactions amongst the fandom while criticizing it for what was considered to be a stale punchline.[11] In response to the criticisms, Gilardi made a series of tweets stating that he respected people's opinions about his work as long as they were civil about it.[12]
