You can file this under “Stuff we never thought we’d see combined”, along with Marmite peanut butter, Mikhail Gorbachev/Pizza Hut and “Prime Minister …Boris Johnson.”

Twitter user @A_llyssa shared the video on Twitter, picking up a lot of attention for Lee Hardcastle‘s weird but wonderful Pingu-style homage to John Carpenter.
