Re: My Little Pony: Because Friendship Is Goddamn Magic
Obligatory link to the Brunching Shuttlecock quiz: can you tell which are MLP names and which are adult movie star names? It's all clean and PG, just in case you're concerned.

Re: My Little Pony: Because Friendship Is Goddamn Magic
I'm going to need something more than an (admittedly intriguing) pic and assurance of awesomeness. Tell me more, for I am curious and more that slightly tempted.

Re: My Little Pony: Because Friendship Is Goddamn Magic
I got 4 out of 12 right, having never actually seen or been in the vicinity of anything having to do with My Little Pony. I don't watch TV, so the only thing I know about them is that "There is a thing called 'My Little Pony' that exists", and one Robot Chicken skit I saw on youtube about the "My Little Pony: Apocalypse Ponies".
So, I think I can be a relatively reliable control group when I say "What the hell is wrong with their naming conventions?"

3 out of 12. I'm not sure whether I should feel bad or good about that.
I'm the author of the Alex Verus series of urban fantasy novels. Fated is the first, and the final book in the series, Risen, is out as of December 2021. For updates, check my blog!

Re: My Little Pony: Because Friendship Is Goddamn Magic
As long as you don't recognize more porn stars than ponies, you're okay.

Re: My Little Pony: Because Friendship Is Goddamn Magic
I got 9, and that was by going completely counter-intuitive and saying "pony" for everything that didn't possibly sound like it should be in a kid's show and vice versa. At least I didn't recognize any of the names, pornstar or pony...
Should I actually pay attention to this now? I've never had anything but contempt for the entire existence of My Little Pony, but if it's actually at all like the Powerpuff Girls I may have to rethink my stance on it.

Re: My Little Pony: Because Friendship Is Goddamn Magic
It's rather amusing with lots of self-aware and under-the-radar humour (Lauren says she was aiming for the Pixar effect by appealing to older fans), and some funny implications (in one episode Applejack gets tired over-working, but the way she acts as a result makes it seem like she's stoned).
The characters are incredibly cute (especially Applebloom and Fluttershy) and really expressive, plus it's got songs which have a tendancy to ear worm.
And on /co/ it's approaching Team Fortress 2 levels of memetic mutation:

Trains and fire engines??
Don't you mean guns and swords? At least that was what I was into.

Re: My Little Pony: Because Friendship Is Goddamn Magic
Huh. As much as I have a great big mooshy soft-spot for My Little Ponies, I never watched the old cartoon and never expect to like it if I did. But this one looks interesting...

Re: My Little Pony: Because Friendship Is Goddamn Magic
Let's not forget that the original My Little Ponies series is one of many many shows in the 80's designed to sell children gimmicky toys with cute or badass cartoons. But if this one has an original spin it might be worth something, but I still won't watch it. I mean what will follow next, tea drinking parties?

Re: My Little Pony: Because Friendship Is Goddamn Magic
I'm watching this with my sister and at the same time we go, 'WHY ARE YOU WAKING UP THE POOR HIBERNATING CREATURES?!'
She is now complaining that it keeps playing in her head. It just rolled over me, can't even recall it now. May be my nausea I gain when watching Power Puff Girls, Spongebob and similar modern crazes.
Did I mention anime little ponies causes me physical pain?Last edited by The Vorpal Tribble; 2010-12-20 at 11:48 PM.

Re: My Little Pony: Because Friendship Is Goddamn Magic
I watched a couple of episodes with my girlfriend a few weeks ago. She's a My Little Pony fanatic...
I actually got a few laughs out of it. Even though it seemed to be aimed at much younger audiences, I still found some of the goofy humor and zany situations funny...Anemoia: Nostalgia for a time you've never known.

Re: My Little Pony: Because Friendship Is Goddamn Magic
The sun is however, controled by Princess Celestia (that unicorn-pegasus hybrid in the first image). Which supposedly supports the wild fan theories that she's actually an evil tyrant trying to keep the Ponies under her control.
Pony theories are wierd. There's even a timelord theory thanks to that brown pony with an hourglass mark.
She isn't even a new one, Applejack is one of the few classic pony names which have been kept for the main cast.Last edited by Jahkaivah; 2010-12-22 at 08:50 AM.

Also, gah. They look less like ponies and more like vague brightly-coloured blobs.
