What do you mean "old"?

And by "old" do you mean "back from a long absence" or "bones creak distressingly whenever they move"?

Can you see the world like I do? Can you smile away the pain? Can you feel the cool wind blowing? Can you smell the coming rain?

I mean from before July 28th or so.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

Mike Nelson told the bronies to get a sense of humor over his Twitter, implying that he was telling a joke. Likely fucking story.

I think it's more "were you in the thread before everybody from the WA thread started posting here".

@Gex: Mike Nelson from Mystery Science Theater 3000 and Rifftrax, or a different Mike Nelson?

The first one.

@Gex: What did he say that was a so-called "Joke"?

#13709 Super Gex Sun, 5th Aug '12 8:55:19 PM from Connecticut

@Mars Something about fat sweaty pervs gathering at Bronycon.

I've looking at Mike Nelson's twitter feed right now for the post in question, and haven't seen anything yet.

But I did find this

@Gex: Wow, that was such an original "Joke". It's totally not over-used and unoriginal, on top of not being funny at all.

I certainly hope that this isn't in character for him.

Back when I still played Drawception, I was asked to describe a fat guy with glasses, pimples, and a "BRONY" t-shirt. So, in defense of bronies everywhere, I started my description with "Awesome brony..."

Pronounced "Sid-zellia"

My guess is that he's not even familiar with the fandom in a direct manner, and figured that since it's popular on the internet he could take a potshot. I wouldn't worry about it. Anybody who agrees with him is probably a hater anyway. It's not like somebody who's on the fence about the show is going to be like "Well, I was debating whether or not to watch this, but after reading that tweet I'm definitely going to pass".

It's not that I'm worried about it, it's that, I swear, no one can ever come up with an original joke involving brony's. It's always "Dur hur hur, fat sweaty creepy manchild virgins" and other crap like that.

I mean, it's not that I want to be mocked, just that you'd think a long-time comedian would be able to say something at least original, but apparently not.

I know, right? If you're going to mock us, at least put some effort into it.

I hadn't heard anything about this.

Well, better get to burning my MST3K DVD's, I guess.

Really? I don't see the point of getting offended by this.

Bronies: You need to understand that comedians make JOKES ABOUT PEOPLE. You're not sacred, nor is your fandom. Learn to laugh at yourself

#13719 Sydxelia Sun, 5th Aug '12 11:11:34 PM

Why should I care what some two-bit actor thinks of bronies?

#13720 Pykrete Sun, 5th Aug '12 11:45:23 PM from Viridian Forest

I uh...wouldn't call the star of MST3K a two-bit actor. He's pretty well-known in media circles.

Like I said, more than anything I'm disappointed that he of all people couldn't think of anything better than a generic unfunny stereotype dig. At least make a comment about one of the more embarrassing costumes. Like this one!

I mean if you really want mocking material we're kind of a goldmine.
