Here there be ponies
« on: June 13, 2011, 01:43:24 AM »
Okay - for those of you who lurk around on the internet, you've probably come across... something.

It's very odd.

My Little Pony.

Yes, the newest iteration of this cartoon, "Friendship is Magical" has taken parts of the internet by storm.  Grown men refer to themselves as "Bronies".

So, for science, I took on a mission.  I decided I was going to watch a few episodes.  Was this really all it was cracked up to be?

... nine episodes in, I'm just not getting it.  I mean, the show's not *bad* - but I don't see me getting groups of friends to watch it or anything.  Not going to buy the DVDs and I don't believe I'm going to finish watching the first season (who knows...).

Am I completely missing something here?

EASYCURE: I remember thinking(don't ask me why) this was a blond haired, blue eyed, chiseled athlete. Like he looked like Seigfried before he became Nightmare.

What I'm wondering... did BnM have those pictures ready to go?  Because that's odd.

BnM loves My Little Pony. And not in the "ironic" way you're talking about, he's genuinely a huge fan. He's all about Nintendo rumors and My Little Pony, his two passions in life.

Google Search: "Friendship is Magical gifs"

and 20 seconds later you end up with

Not sure I believe you... only two of those four gifs were on the front page.  Anything more would have been a lot of work for such a lame pay-off.

It's not a *bad* show, per-say.  I can totally see why the target audience would like it.  I'm just bumfuzzled as to why 30-some year old men like it.  I feel like the entire internet trolled me into watching it or something.

The pictures demonstrate it's a meme factory.  That's all the reason the Internet requires.  See also Caturday.

A group on deviantART has fused this show with one of my favorite shows ever: Danny Phantom. This effectively killed my Interest in said show.


Well, that just happened.


I feel I must quote James Jones here with a angry/confused/sickened, "What the f***?".  :P:
This is where I would write something witty or funny if I had any ideas.

At first, I thought "Oh, neat!"
Then, looked it up and saw the V/A was Tara Strong.

Since she voices about 40% of all female animated characters (and a good number of male characters), this really isn't that surprising... ;)

That's... special.
Who would this appeal to?  Also we all know the Vicious Fairy Ponies would come in and own all generation and iterations of Ponies.

Couldn't find the one I actually wanted but this will do.
