At least you know about him so I didn't have to link you to the goddamn wiki. It's still a little upsetting that the video was such a success considering it exists just to make mlp fans mad.
That's exactly what I thought. I also don't like how pretentious some of the fans can be.Daystar Clarion said:

It's a show about ponies.
That's the beginning and end of that story, there's no hidden meaning.

Same here. I have to admit that I wasn't expecting to finally turn fanboy over a little girls' cartoon, but whatever. Happiness is where you find it, right?Leemaster777 said:
For what it's worth, the pilot isn't very representative of the majority of the show, since it had to include so much exposition. Most people will tell you that they weren't hooked until a couple more episodes into the season.Evil Smurf said:
The show has made a good impact on me. Though, it may be different from the rest of you.
It taught me a lot. Anything else was simply re-enforced.
Now, I'm not talking about the blatantly-obvious lessons that are spelled out for you at the end of nearly episode.
I'm talking about something more indirect.
This series showed me just how important it is to design characters with numerous unique traits and flaws, along with fleshing them out and keeping them consistent. It showed me how much fun being politically-incorrect can be. It showed me how you can totally have a really high-caliber story and sequence of events going on, without being all dedgyark. You can have everything be all bright and candy-colored, and it can still be totally awesome. You don't need to drop the F-Bomb every two minutes (and other similar actions), just to get older audiences to find any enjoyment. It showed how you can have constant references to other works without losing your identity in the process. It showed that you can have some really nice characters that don't treat everyone around them like dirt. It showed a good structure in securing a timeless setting. It showed how you can identify so well with characters that look nothing like you. (Ha! Take that, AAA-Industry!)
All of this has been very important to me, as these are things I need to keep in mind, as I continue my journey in designing videogames. I want some good stories that will actually be meaningful. And My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic has been very clear on so many techniques you can use to get your adventure up to that point.

This what bugs me people that state that they hate something but not give a real reason why.
"Oh I hate the show but I never watch it" is a terrible excuse.
Now if you saw the show and did not like it, that is fine you gave it a shot and decided it was not for you.
Hell I didn't like the show at first, but I decided to watch some of it so I have material I can use to pick it apart, but oddly the more I watched the more I liked the show.
MLP fandom makes more sense to me than the Vocaloid fans, and I think the vocaliod Windows PC software is crap, but at least I installed and tried to use the voicaliod brand voice synthesizer. And I gave the songs and music videos a shot, it isn't bad but I am not going to run out and buy a Hatsune Miku figure.
If you really don't want to give the show a shot, okay fine; but do not try to give everyone else grief for what they like. If you watch the show and do not like it, fine as well do not watch any more. But don't go saying the show is shit and refuse to hear anything about it.

Started watching in October of last year. Have now seen every episode and am the proud owner of a Doctor Who x MLP shirt. I don't know how it's change my life. I suppose it has influenced me to be more open and accepting of other peoples beliefs. Although that could just be me growing up a little.
At first, I thought MLP was the stupidest thing ever conceived, and when I heard the term brony, I almost puked at the thought of the term. However, everything changed one day... I was on youtube seeing if any of my subscriptions had updated when I saw on my favorite top ten-er Joshscorcher's channel this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CjM6t4DmUPE&feature=g-user-u
The following night consisted of me watching every episode I could before I fell asleep due to exhaustion. I was hooked, and while I would NEVER call myself a brony, I do thing the show is worthwhile. It isn't the best, but it sure is better than most of the junk currently airing on TV.

It's done? Good, I'll watch it on youtube now. Might come back and edit in my thoughts, but for now, my favorite things spawned from MLP are Cupcakes and this [http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL94A83DC128CC6B4B&feature=plcp]. Still, not bad for a kids' show. I'd recommend it for my nephews, but I'm sure my brother wouldn't appreciate it. The one thing I dislike intensely in MLP is the musical numbers, and my brother pretty much shares my (dis)taste in certain musical styles. I'm sure the boys would be playing that shit over and over and over...
**edit**
Finished finally... gotta say, it was better than the first season overall, though the ham-handed application of
in the final episode made me roll my eyes repeatedly. Still, the mere fact that I cared enough to be bothered by that tells me they did something very right with most if the season.
Oh, also... I noticed mention of Rocket to Insanity in the comments of one of the vids and gave it a read. Good stuff. I recommend it to any fan of Cupcakes.

I watched the show. Its ok but i just can't get past some of the super fanatics who shove their brightly colored shirts in my face, while screaming how much they just LOVE the show. This is why I no longer watch it. I might go back and watch it after said people have moved on to ruining something else.
This post marks the moment I gave in. I've avoided it for too long, I need to see what this is all about. (as I do love 90s Cartoon Network shows and apparently this show is a homage to them?) I'm also partial to a bit of a spongebob (by "partial" I mean I have seasons 1-4 on dvd... it got shitty after season 4)
Someone tell me what you think is the very BEST episode of MLP, and I'll give it a shot. I'll maybe watch 2 eps if the first one doesn't grab me. I'm officially open to being converted now. Come at me.

I suppose I fall right into the middle. I enjoy the show, and I think it's fun. There's no reason to go crazy because of it though. They're cartoon ponies guys, and there's no reason to be extreme about them at either end of the spectrum.
Although, I have fallen behind and I intend to do a mareathon with my friend to get caught up all the way.
EDIT: I also forgot the mention the pony artistic community is simply amazing. Drawing, sewing, music, you name it. You'll run into some really cool stuff.

Eh, it's overrated and half the time the bronies I've met are just jumping the "I'm a guy watching a little girls show. How ironic!" bandwagon. honestly if I were going to watch anything like that I'd stick to Adventure Time.
