1000 apples high. Horses are really Kaiju that's the twist.

If Mules exist in MLPFIM world (not only in one joke) they propably are not sterile, you know fantasy seting and stuff.

Holy hell,

if we went by that ponies are the size of the toys theory, a horse would probably fight an Ursa Major in combat as an equal! (In size anyway!)

I know there is MLPFIM version of this but I wonder how it would like with badguys being less humanoid. (Even Scorpan who was human turned monster in that special).

Another mention of MLP on Cracked, this time again pretty much openly insulting, to the fandom at least.

Dear Cheese: you have a reputation of the site's whiny bitch, always dissatisfied with everything. This is not. Helping.

Well, come to think of it, I doubt Cracked missed the opportunity just one time, what's with Soren Bowie branding them as lifeless nerds and Christina H just offhandedly saying they need to die in an attempt to boost her dwindling ratings.

I have a sad.

I'm quite annoyed with cracked now.

Considering the broader point John was making there about irony, it's not particularly bad.

Besides, Soren complimented the show in his article. The worst he did was mis-characterize the fandom as teenage boys, which may have skewed his writing.

I know, right?

I visit Cracked daily and the thing that pisses me off about it the most is that they throw research out the window to make a joke, ruining their reputation as educational comedy site. It's one thing when you say that jellyfishes are fast enough they can time-travel. That's comedy.

Another thing is that you're making fun of Russian battleships because one managed to shoot itself with a torpedo. That's propaganda, and propaganda is for stupid people. That's faulty torpedoes, they did this all the time, every country had a lot of ships and submarines doing that, most famous case being USS Tang.

And an another thing entirely is saying something like

That's literally a guy not bothering to spend five minutes look up something he is writing about to instantly realise the brony culture is not a bunch of hipsters enjoying the show because it's for little girls, not despite.

Five goddamn minutes! When I write god damn science fiction, I spend hours looking up something like what happens when your spine breaks at midpoint or how fast can you freefall. And I am not paid as much!

The section is about how people tend to enjoy something cringeworthy, whether or not it's intentionally bad, and he uses MLP here as an example on equal grounds with Friday. What the shit

Not trying to validate him or anything, and I know this isn't what he meant, but I'm a member of this fandom, and I sometimes feel like the fandom endlessly repeats the same jokes. To the point of annoyance on occasion

Cracked - if don't whant to be annoyed just avoid whining articles.

I'm inclined to agree with you Ginger! If I've heard a supid reference to cupcakes once...I've heard it a thousand times.

The only one I've gotten truly and utterly fed up with is 20% Cooler. I didn't think the line was all that good when it first appeared, but I still thought it was pretty funny

Then the endless permutations came flooding in 0_0

20% got old quick for me too.

It was amusing, for the first 10 seconds.

I'm starting to get fed up with Derpy.

Oh I still love our walled-eye pony, but the way people obsess over her bugs me some times. I often wonder, what if her eyes were never crossed? She never did anything out of the ordinary in Season 1. At least Lyra does stuff!

Then again, I guess I'd be getting tired of Lyra or another pony if that were the case.

I consider 20% cooler to be some sort of in-joke/secret greeting that people can exclaim to see whom amongst his current company happens to be a brony. For the rest, it's a pretty tired joke.

I never really cared for Ditzy in the first place.

Would you say it's a good thing that she's actually doing suff in the background this season?

Name me a fandom that doesn't.

Derpy is a good representation of what this fandom is like, and the first example of the brony culture acquiring recognition.

Parse failed

It's a rallying cry, you.

This being said, callbacks to older memes > world.

You seen that picture of Spike in a hat with a caption "Rainbow Dash always dresses in style?"

edited 16th Dec '11 5:19:44 AM by thefran

On the second point. Is that supposed to be a good thing or a bad thing?

On a scale from real good to very bad it's certainly a muffin.

I personally don't think callbacks to old memes are all that great unless I ENOYED the original meme itself. I didn't enjoy 20% Cooler. Come to think of it, after a while I stopped liking "yay" too. Oversaturation is a terrible thing

y'see, that Spike pic sounds funny

edited 16th Dec '11 5:25:47 AM by gingerninja666

So.

Christmas Episode tomorrow.

It bothers me when they make Ditzy full blown retarded...goofy is the way I prefer her.

And I'm beginning to hope that she remains silent for ever too.

Yeah I can't wait!

edited 16th Dec '11 5:35:39 AM by ApplelightLimited

Yeah, I can only imagine how stupid they'd make her sound

I can't wait either. Time to put my "Earth Ponies got jacked" hat back on in preparation

...apple-jacked?
