It's not that you didn't say it was a parody, you did. I just didn't know what part was a parody because I'd never heard their normal voices! So when the dude was all "I can't do it! I can't make fun of Fluttershy!" it seemed as if dude had just randomly popped in to the middle of a cartoon to say that. I was very confused!

That is awesome! Any particulars on the "too funny to be true" bits?
Not particularly. The one I remember snorting at is him griping about being given a stupid quest to "make some friends" as an excuse to get him to talk to all the NPCs.

That song was... brilliant. Not necessarily good, but brilliant.
Someone did a techno mix of it called "20% cooler" and then someone else recorded an audiosurf playthrough of it. It worked.

And Hasbro? They're still selling cheaply made kids' toys that are visibly inconsistent with the way the ponies are supposed to look. IDIOTS.
I don't think they've twigged to how much disposible income bored geeks can bring to their hobbies.

I'm in. I watched the Ticket Master episode that somebody so thoughtfully linked and then I watched the songs in the next couple posts. So much cuteness! I'm going to see how many episodes I can watch before bedtime tonight.

Please forgive me, but the voices in my head are far too sweet and high pitched to allow me to say bad things about cute little ponies. I have to get around them somehow.
Re: My Little Pony: Detractors We Will Tolerate and Love the Shit Out of You
Fucked if I know, I didn't make it (I couldn't draw that if I tried, or I'd have done my own Clay Matthews as Thor instead of stealing it from someone else!)

Ok, if nobody else is going to say it, I will.
Bronies exist because My Little Pony offers a consequence-free opportunity to sexualize anthropomorphized notions of youthful femininity. The ponies are animated to be cute and engaging to young children; these same idealized characteristics are easily transmuted into libidinous fantasy by sexually frustrated post-adolescent males. The popularity of My Little Pony among the bronies is not because the show is particularly good or cute. It is not because of its valuable lessons about friendship. It is because the bronies can fap to it. It is because the bronies convince themselves that in Equestria, they could get laid. The ponies - youthful, athletic, sometimes naïve, and physically idealized - are distillations of unsatiated lust for those same qualities realized in a sexual partner. Perhaps the brony is too socially inept to forge and sustain an actual relationship or perhaps the brony resents women who resist the infantilization that accompanies this pubescent type of sexualization. No matter; these real-world defects do not pursue the brony, mounted comfortably upon delusion, cantering away from reality and in to lovely Equestria.
Re: My Little Pony: Detractors We Will Tolerate and Love the Shit Out of You
Yes, that is doubtless exactly it.

I watched the two parts of the pilot last night so now I'm caught up through ep three. I can't choose a favorite because I like them all. I like Rainbow for her athleticism and her colorful hair. I like the pretty, high-fashion one and the one who loves to sing and party because, duh. Apple Jack has a cute accent and is nice and fun and hard-working. Fluttershy is way more into animals than I need, but the shyness is relatable. And I like how smart and bookish and independent Twilight is.
It's like they took all the traits of a perfect girl and broke them down into six individual personality ponies. The whole is greater than the sum of it's parts.
Anybody else digging the pagan symbolism? I wish I had little kids so I could warp their fragile, little minds with this heresy. And I couldn't help but notice a lot of similarities between Celestia and my second favorite deity, PBUHHH.

And even that's not fair. I loved that her reason to want to go to the party was to explore the flora and fauna in the castle garden. You don't have to be a crazy stray collector to appreciate that biodiversity is important and awesome.
