Poll: Favourite Ponie! (thats right its a my little pony thread!)

[OptimisticPessimist]

Being a furry means you want to have intercourse with people that have fur.
So no, that isn't being a furry, you silly person.
IT'S BEING A BRONY!
PINKY PIEEEE

Um, not every furry is like that. A furry is just someone fascinated by anthropomorphic characters and animals. Some more than others.

Nein nein nein nein. I mean, yes, the furries are anthropomorphic animal characters. But it takes more than just having some slight semi-crush on a mainstream meme to fall under the definition furry. I should know because I am one!

I know it takes more than that and I wasn't talking about having a crush. I said fascinated, there is a difference. I know there are more things, but that's the basic requirement. Besides there's no set definition anyway.

No there is no set definition. I'm just annoyed with the fact that these ponies are way on their way of taking over the internetz and I don't understand what, if anything, is so special about them.

Well it's a good show for one thing and it's managed to spread so far because it's managed to (just barely) keep from being grouped into "furries".

I voted "P0n1es R teh GaY1!! (If you vote this Ill burn your bloody house down>)"

[hr]

Burn my house down you say?

Begun, this pony war has.

These ponies have had little to no success in the actual fandom so the reason why anyone, anywhere, would draw some sort of a parallel between the two is beyond me.

However, that still doesn't explain what exactly makes these ponies so special. I tried to watch the show once but had to quit in order to avoid diabetes. No offense to you in case you like it, I just don't understand this phenomenon.

Shepard Pony, of course!

In all seriousness (or at least, as serious as you can be about My Little Pony) my favourite is Rainbow Dash. I admit it, I have a fondness for tom-boys.

 

[TheAceTheOne]

Spike.

I know nothing about My Little Pony but my mate showed me this the other day.

Best. Video. Ad. EVER! I think you... *checks*... yup, you've made my bloody day!

They are animals, therefore (obviously) they must be furry.

I'm not saying that I follow that logic, but that's probably the logic that's used be alot of people.

As for why the ponies are so liked, one thing is defiantly the memeic quality of them. If you've seen some of the images and videos that have been posted around you'll know that the show has some excellent animation that creates some awesome screenshots.

Spoiler

Note that each of those images are not altered beyond the text overlay (and Xzbit, or whatever his name is). All of those are actually taken from the show.

Also the show is quite enjoyable to watch. There are episodes that are better than others (the two pilot ones aren't that amazing), but overall it's pretty good and has alot of humor and interesting story stuff.

I don't like MLP,so I voted "P0n1es R teh GaY1!!" for the lulz.
Burn down my house,eh?
BRING IT ON

EDIT: I just noticed the "P0n1es R teh GaY1!!" option has more votes than the others.

This is why we need AV, people!

No one outside the UK is likely to get that, but whatever...

And yet, those same folks often can't bring themselves to post and say so. Funny how the internet forums make people act bold yet cowardly at the same time.

That said, I don't pick favorites. All of the ponies have something that I like about them, or the epsiode can lend a hand sometimes.

It's an great, adorable, humorous show and the art direction blows the previous show out of the water (or at least what was on wikipedia... /shudder). The writing is pretty damn good; they say a lot of things that make them sound more realistic. Let met explain; a lot of cartoons (or just shows in general, for that matter) make me feel like they seriously are living in a different universe with some of the phrases they do/don't say.

However, I'm sure that part of the massive explosion is how people want to seem "ironic" and "edgy" (see youtube commentors for this... "I'm 20 and I love this!" etc).

I also love cartoons that I can enjoy, now more than ever because it makes me feel all nostalgic.

 

[SofB]

They haven't had any Rainbow Dash episodes in way too long.
Also Rainbow Dash.

 

[trollnystan]

Does my vote count? I'm female but I'm the wrong side of 25! ^_^;

I voted for Pinkie Pie, 'cos otherwise she might haunt me. FOREVER.

 

[LenisCaedo]

Rainbow dash, shes 20% cooler than the rest of em :3

 

[PunkyMcGee]

Rarity has class.

after that episode Rarity shot right up my list. rainbow is number 1 though. Rare and Twilight are really close for second.

 

[Aethren]

Well considering my Steam ID is Pinkie Pie...

I voted Twilight Sparkle.

 

[chozoone19]

Oh dear...its spread to the escapist now. Well following that I've only seen about half an episode since an entire chat room of people I talk with said I had to, and that its from the same guy that made Powerpuff Girls, Samurai Jack, and Foster home for Imaginary friends before it got canned [probably some more stuff but thats what I know him for], I'd have to go with...eh heck with ponies, I take the dragon. Spike all the way.

But it doesn't have more votes than all the others combined, which means a great deal in this case.

It's been here for a few months. I finally gave in one night and the next day I was on episode 10.

Was about to point this out. Whenever I see a poll with a few reasonable choices, and then a joke/insane/lol option, the joke/insane/lol option almost always wins.

It's just logic. Fans of the show are spread out amongst seven options to choose from, whereas the show's detractors are all lumped together. So in order to make a comparison between fans and detractors, you'd need to add the first seven options together.

This is true. And obvious. I'm not sure why you're telling me this. My point was the most voted for is always the silly option. I didn't say that it was bigger than all of the rest combined; it's just the single most popular option

Has it? Hmmm, guess I never noticed. I'm probably gonna break down and watch a few this weekend, once I get some time 'n all.
