Ponies? What? What is this?

[Feralcentaur]

Seems as if I've feel for the joke *Slams head into keyboard*.

Now I'll need stitches, but I think it was worth it.

It's not a joke, people do genuinely like the show, I will Pinkie Pie promise you that!

And now, all rise for the anthem of Equestria! (We kinda stole it from the Soviets but since they're kinda dismantled who's gonna complain?)


"Oh Great Lady Celestia, our kind caring leader..."

You have awoken a great power...

I hope you are ready.

 

[MFenix]

Congrats, you just woke the herd

*reads first part of the paragraph*
*looks at avatar*

jesus christ that's horrifying

Says the guy who's avatar is a demonic little girl who stabs corpses with needles.

And yes the opening isn't all that great but it's a great show worth giving a try ^_^

It's not a joke at all, if your referring to the show, no not at all.
If your referring to the fact your the next in the long line of pony thread posters, yes, yes you did. But don't worry, it's like a vicious cycle. I think last pony thread someone posted a really good timeline of all pony threads, I'll go look for it!

 

[Geo Da Sponge]

What can I say except for...


Honestly, I think it's been explained why it's a good show in enough threads already. Go dig up one of those, there's plenty to go round.

So, what, is this a new meme, am I late to the party?

Yes.

It's a massive forum joke thing that started on /b/ and is spreading to other forums. Just ignore it and it will go away.

Could take a while though. This is a real Juggernaut of a meme (not to be confused with the Juggernaut meme) and I doubt it'll be slowing or stopping anytime soon.

 

[Da Chi]

This should sum things up nicely

Spoiler

 

[Lord Beautiful]

We like the show because it's good.

MOVING ON.

It started on /co/, to clarify. And It's quite the forum joke to have ~350 user group members. And a ridiculous (and I mean RIDICULOUS) amount of user content in the form of fan art/pics/trailers.

OT: Beyond using the search bar and looking at the scores of pages on this topic, the short of it is that it's a fantastic show all around, but one that faces a big double standard based on its name and art style and what not.

This what you're talking about?

1. People question why people enjoy the show.
2. Fans either try to explain or tell them to watch it and find out.
3. Some of the people who were asking about it become fans, others lose interest in the thread.
4. A small number of non-fans remain, either trolling or just being obnoxious.
5. Fans keep trying to explain what's good about the show.
6. Unlikable people persist.
7. Fans give up and just start posting pony pictures.
8. Eventually the thread dies.
9. New thread is created, go back to 1.

Apparently we are skipping step 8 now.

Don't take this a pretentious suggestion, but what the hell is this crap about ponies and children's cartoons? My friend came to me yesterday suggesting that I watched this and attempted to enjoy it. Curiously enough, I set down and attempted to view an episode as I earlier promised... Didn't even make it past the opening.

So, what, is this a new meme, am I late to the party? I really don't see what is so great about this. Help thy, for I may be lost and need enlightenment.

Edit: Well heck, I forgot to mention the most important part(Even though you probably already knew), I'm talking about that My Little Ponies cartoon.

If you find this clip at all amusing you should like it:

First episode:

It's a two-parter and I don't think the pilot is as good as the rest of the season, but it has some background information to clear stuff up later.

To sum it up, MLP is:
Ad'awwworable
Generally amusing
Hilarious at times
Well written
Well voiced
Did I mention cute?

Not convinced? One of the episodes is about a fashion show... and it's enjoyable. Yes, an episode about ponies putting on a fashion show is enjoyable.

See you in a week.

I doubt you ignoring me is going to cause me to change what I enjoy.

Great, less work for Wizard!

somewhat unrelated story: i told two separate people (guys) that i watched every episode of my little pony this week. the first responded with skepticism, but promised he would consider checking it out. the second tried to disown me as a friend.

just thought that was funny

It didn't start on /b/, it started on /co/ and they genuinely like the show.

Words cannot desecribe just how late you are to the party, or even the afterparty. We're now on the post-post-post-afterparty.

 

[wizard_joe88]

Does this mean we just went straight to all-non fans leavings!

[Feralcentaur]

...Come on, isn't someone going to call My little Pony watchers Man children or something like that? The Pony Thread cycle must be repeated....

It seems that way. At least we are streamlining the process.
