LoadingReadyRun: Pony Time

[Random Fella]

Sad to see this show fall into the 12 year old girl fads... at least the puke and porn parts were funny...

I love, and tolerate you, to a maximum extent good sir.

Best not to give the parasprites any attention, I'd say. You're not going to change the mind of a person like that no matter what.

I suppose this counts as a pony thread so I'll just keep linking the user group:
http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/MLP-Friendship-is-Magic
I recommend that anyone who joins turn chat notifications off when prompted as group chat tends to be very active.

TO A HIGH, EXTENT

For the record, I am, and remain, the sole member of LRR that has more than a passing interest in MLP:FiM. Shame, really.

While I am sure that I share the rest of the LRR cast's level of enthusiasm, I do want to thank you for being the black sheep in the group. It created a really funny skit.

My little bears sounds like quality programming. I still haven't watched my little pony friendship is magic. I remember being a small child and watching the old 80's cartoon with my sister I told her it didn't make sense that in a land of ponies (who you know, dont have hands) they would have phones or door knobs or cars. I was told I wasn't to watch the show with her ever again and also that I was a jerkface. Ever since I've been a little soured on the magic pony thing.

 

[badpun]

A good CH vid and they didn't present it in a bad light so i'm pretty happy with it.

 

[JesterRaiin]

The crew deals with an equine problem.

What was on that screen that made you both blush ? ...Interesting...

They have not been welcomed to the "herd". Just so you know.

Edit: Derp, I told you to spoiler the Gif, and I forgot to do it myself.

Spoiler: Deeeeeeeerp

[sub]As well, Matt, I'm reeeealy sorry that I keep quoting you to point out when people are mistaken.[/sub]

So wait... Are you all Bronies (and Pegasisters) now? Or are you just trying to raise the hopes of your fan base? Because I seem to remember Graham distancing himself from MLP stuff during Desert Bus

We may never know...

They could have just been watching porn all along you know

 

[JagerShots]

hmm, mlp? never heard of it. Sounds like I should check it out tho!

 

[snowfi6916]

For those of you who don't know, I don't care for MLP:FiM. I gave it a shot, and its a good kids show...that I have no interest in.

I also don't like some of bronies....some. Being fans of something is entirely ok, as long as you CHECK YOURSELF and don't TURN INTO FANATICS ABOUT IT. There is the stereotype of the brony, which is actually the vocal, zealous, crazy minority that I don't like and get infinite lulz from trolling just because its easy and the response is almost always the same: they tell me how wrong I am, they try to convert me....its HILARIOUS.

Just to be clear... REAL bronies won't actively try to recruit new people against their will. We really don't mind if you don't like the show. To each their own.

We try to distance ourselves from the fanatics. Look up "Pizza Hut Bronies" on YouTube and you'll see why.

Great video BTW. That's pretty much what happens. Someone says WTF is this about MLP? Then they decide to watch one episode to see what it's about. Then they watch all the episodes. And then we pull out that "Welcome to the Herd" pic.

yeah pretty much every group of people has a subset that makes the rest look bad and the majority try and distance themselves from. Gamers have homophobic/racist XBL trolls, Christans have insane fundamentalists like the WBC, Furries have well, the crazy sex kind (dunno what they would call them). It's sad but true that those outside will get bad impressions of the people as a whole because of them but there really isn't much that can be done. You can try and educate people I guess, but it seems alot of people don't want to listen (try making a thread that informs people that most furries aren't the sex with fur suits on kind and see where that gets you).

 

[Coldster]

And I was just thinking, we haven't had a pony thread in over a month. That has to be a new record for the Escapist.

Oh, come on now. If you're going to post that, you have to post . . .

God damn it.

Got my hopes up too.

Jesus christ I thought 4chan being THAT bad was just a joke! I really didn't know that they were that freaking weird! God, I can't believe a fandom like bronies could have possibly started on that website. None of those videos seemed to show the love and tolerance that they stand by at all!

What is this "Pizza Hut Bronies". A quick search on youtube only yields that crappy fast food song from years ago, and a pony version of it. Damn there are pony versions of everything, like ever.

 

[theultimateend]

LRR has assimilated into the herd? My life is now complete!

Also, Pony type MTG card:

He could have used changelings too.

 

[Critterbot]

Sometimes I wonder where all the funny went, then I remember, LRR has it!

Again!? Lol ^^

I think it was taken down a while back because it was so hated. BAsically it is a 20 mins or so video of about 20 'bronies' and I use the term loosley, going to pizza hut. They get there make the staff draw ponies on the box, loudly sing winter wrap up to piss of the guests and generally act like twats playing with pony toys and stuff.

I couldnt sit through the whole thing, it was that brain hurting.
