I'm surprised it made out of the hopper, to be honest. Even blue chip poe-worthy pony vids can struggle to make the requisite +7 votes before the Moral Guardians catch on and downvote it to hell. But a PMV? You'd think that between the people who REALLY HATE PONIES, and the people who really hate Anime Music Videos, this one'd be stillborn.

My analysis was much easier; I wouldn't bother with this song before the addition of ponies, so the addition of Flutterguy isn't enough to make me like it.

Ugh.

I know how to rate this.

You write these kinds of diatribes a lot, how much weed/meth/sugar do you have to inhale to work up the motivation? I want to know because I would like to be able to write anything as frequently and verbosely as you do about My Little Pony.

Also, this reminds me of all the MSI songs set to Pokemon flash videos from yesternet.

No weed or meth, but a fair amount of sugar, and some serious, mostly untreated emotional issues. Having a boring job that doesn't require much concentration helps, too!

And yes, meme, you're exactly right about the MSI AMVs. I'd say that this video is slightly better (from a purely technical standpoint) than all those old Pokemon vids, because at least here, the creator clearly went to a lot of trouble drawing his own mouth animations and syncing them up with the lyrics. That's a nice touch, and it's that sort of attention to detail and willingness to go the extra mile that's really warmed me up to bronies over these last couple years. I mean, yeah, they're all fags and nerds and whatever else, but they put a lot of thought and effort into what they do, especially when you compare them to other fandoms, like Sonic fans, juggalos, and furries. I certainly wouldn't be caught dead associating with bronies, but I'll give credit where it's due.

ok this joke has run its course

I'm sorry that I gave you extra attention before, Evilhomer. I'll do my best to stop now.

It's OK, Wander. We all make social mistakes!

You're a not bad poester. You just made a bad decision.

Masturbating to pictures of baby horses, crying when show creators try to appeal to children, and changing words in common speech to horse related analogues like they're trying to speak some weird Smurf tongue do not constitute putting "a lot of thought and effort into what they do."

I get the joke but just stop please.

*monocle*

Good Gawd, man! Do you mean to say you disdain the works of such masters as Weird Al Yankovic, Mr. B the Gentleman Rhymer, and Weebl? Have you no taste for the arts, good sir?

oops! meant to be a reply to kleenex

Also I just dont like them.. But I dont disdain stuff I dont like. Its all just subjective.

Very well, but I cannot stop what is to come.

Tonight, you shall be visited by the Ghost of Alan Sherman. He will herald the arrival of three spirits...

So let me get this straight... you don't like Weird Al?

Really? I've never met anyone who doesn't like Weird Al. Opera, I can see, buck opera, but Weird Al... not even a little?

Yeah.. I'm such a muso that I can't not hear and be turned off by the shitty bland music (weird als music is *not* good (I know thats on purpose)) which upsets me... After that I think that the comedic element loses a lot by having to be forced into the structure of the song.

I liked this thing cus it immediately struck me as a pretty good track, genuinely good rapping (though I'm bored with it now!)

I guess rap and bob dylan style talking on tone are sort of a mix of music + poetry /prose but in those cases the music is firmly in control and everything in in service of the track. And I do like me a lot of that rap shit and bob dylan :)

ACTUALLY, Mister Smart Pony, in the original scene, Fluttershy was afflicted with a curse that altered her voice and made her sound like a guy. So the voices do, in fact, sound like the original.

Sheesh, talk about putting your hoof in your mouth. (^_^;)

Whats with all the pony hate? I really like this site just a place to see cool videos. I'm aware that its mandate is 'evil' videos but the evil videos tend to be videos of/by really really stupid/pathetic/misguided/shameless/etc. people. I think some poeple here like those videos as perhaps they themselves have a little bit of an inferiority complex and these particular kind of videos give them someone to look down on. eg. bronies.
I'm not interested in bronydom but if people wanna do that, thats fine. I mean most of human behavior is absolutely absurd and illogical and bronydom is just another facet of that craziness.

My theory is that MLP has entered the Uncanny Valley between pure mockery and unironic appreciation, and many people just aren't ready for that. When everyone's on the same page, the Hive Mind exists in harmony. But now, roughly half of us are either receptive and pony-curious, or fully converted fans. That's sure to cause some backlash, as not everyone is comfortable with the idea of giving MLP a chance, and they don't know whether "laughing at the evil", like we used to do, will call their own manhood into question. "If I five this... will I become one of THEM?!"

Look at gangstalking: we all enjoy gangstalking, because we know that nobody else here takes it seriously. If it suddenly came to light that half of us were self-diagnosed TIs, it'd make the non-TIs very uncomfortable, and I expect we'd see a similar rash of reactionary one starring.

I don't hate ponies. Just unoriginality.

And then thousands upon thousands of nerds flocking to it like it's the greatest thing ever. And apparently feeling the need to shove it down everyone else's throats.

I don't go out looking for these things and I'm not trying to stop anyone from having fun. But if one of these videos does end up here, I promise nothing.
