I guess I'll watch that in a few minutes so I can give an actual informed opinion but first I'm going to stare at that gif for three minutes while listening to Ievan Polkka.

thad just posted like twenty goddamn paragraphs about thundercats

Yeah, but everybody else would apparently rather talk about My Little Pony.

I'm sure it's a perfectly decent show, but I have yet to see anything about it that would give me a reason to be interested.

From what clips of it I've seen (in a Chrome incognito window), if I had a daughter, I'd probably watch it with her and enjoy it. Otherwise, sweet fuck no.

I've said a lot in channel, but in case you missed it, the two pilot eps are fun to watch once you get over your irrational sense of shame and accept that this is basically just Sailor Moon with horses.

The next ep after that was such a staggeringly formulaic syrupy Aesop that it hurt my head, and I suspect the rest of the episodes are like the third.

Also Rainbow Dash is everybody's favorite because she's basically just a boy that might have a vagina somewhere.

Yeah, but they get better after that. Applejack is kind of boring, you see.

Pfft. Rarity is the best one. Followed by Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, THEN Rainbow Dash. And then Applejack.

Hey, don't look at me. I was just trying to do some field research for you guys and then this douchebag started wearing his Trapper-Keeper trampstamp on his sleeve.

...

I'm probably the last person to realize this, but all My Little Ponies have their little star-and-rainbow-and-girly-shit insignias on the exact spot where you would normally brand a horse. I... don't know what the implications of that are.

Well looks like I found something to download and send in to Outer Heaven.

Bongo Bill · « **Reply #31 on:** March 02, 2011, 03:33:30 AM »

It's already been requested, but I can't show it until I know which episode is desired.

I just made this my avatar on another board where this My Little Pony shit is currently running rampant (now I understand what the hell all the pony avatars were about).

I think the Robot Unicorn Attack game softened 4chan to the idea of rainbow horses. A few people started posting My Little Pony threads a couple of months ago. I guess this started a chain reaction of people who couldn't believe anyone was genuinely watching MLP, watched an episode or two to see what the fuss was about, found it was more entertaining than the insipid girly crap normally expected of My Little Pony, and got swept up in the fad.

Or, My Little Pony is 2011's Ron Paul.

Edit: There are a couple of other reasons why the show might appeal to internet people. The main character is a bookish nerd, who is also a high-level wizard. The second episode is essentially The Hobbit. Two characters have a convenient resemblance to the main characters from one of the season's most popular anime, Panty & Stocking. Anime fans have already been watching shows with a primarily female cast for a while now, so a half-decently written cartoon isn't much of a stretch.

This is basically the "Man Who Enjoys Thing Informed He Is Wrong" article from The Onion in action, isn't it?
