4-Year-Olds Reenact 'The Hangover,' Baby Carlos Loves 'Zachy' Best

With our free press under threat and federal funding for public media gone, your support matters more than ever. Help keep the LAist newsroom strong, become a monthly member or increase your support today.

Meet the Pup Pack, three adorable kids who have just gone on an unfortunate juice and candy binge.

NextMovie's video reenactment of The Hangover features four-year-olds instead of Bradley Cooper, Zach Galifianakis and Ed Helms. Instead of a snarling tiger in the bathroom, there's a fluffy white dog running in slo-mo. One kid bemoans, "I ate too much candy," and the rest is incomprehensible toddler babble. Which actually sounds more like grown men with hangovers than you might think.

And can you believe baby Carlos is six years old now? In a rare move of casting loyalty, Grant Holmquist has portrayed the baby in all three Hangover films, including The Hangover III, which opens this Friday. People has his on-the-set perspective, including that his favorite cast member is "Zachy," as the boy dubbed Zach Galifianakis.

Besides his other humanitarian efforts, turns out the comedian is also an excellent baby wrangler.

At LAist, we focus on what matters to our community: clear, fair, and transparent reporting that helps you make decisions with confidence and keeps powerful institutions accountable.

Your support for independent local news is critical. With federal funding for public media gone, LAist faces a $1.7 million yearly shortfall. Speaking frankly, how much reader support we receive now will determine the strength of this reliable source of local information now and for years to come.

This work is only possible with community support. Every investigation, service guide, and story is made possible by people like you who believe that local news is a public good and that everyone deserves access to trustworthy local information.

That’s why we’re asking you to stand up for independent reporting that will not be silenced. With more individuals like you supporting this public service, we can continue to provide essential coverage for Southern Californians that you can’t find anywhere else. Become a monthly member today to help sustain this mission. It just takes 1 minute to donate below.

Thank you for understanding how essential it is to have an informed community and standing up for free press.
