but yeah... easily some of the better characters and even has decent music

Glad you like it.

AppleJack smile for you!

Please don't ban me, but this obsession here is REALLY grating on my nerves. Why, mostly adult males are obsessed with rainbow and magic ponies from shows for 1 year old babies...well, let's just say, some people may need to get their priorities straight? You're watching this show and these unfunny "parodies" instead of playing Mass Effect, Starcraft, or Elder Scrolls. Portal 2 just came out and you're doing this? No wonder we get laughed at it...this deserves it!

Teletubbies was a show designed for 1 year old babies. MLP:FiM is targeted toward (I believe anyway) the 7-12 demographic. However, since parents are going to end up watching (or having the show played over and over and over again), Lauren Faust has designed the show to have a broad appeal so that there is something in the show for older audiences to enjoy. This has a side effect of attracting an audience far wider than who it was initially targeted toward.

Other than that, Judging by your response I can only assume that you haven't seen any episodes, and all I can suggest is to give the show a chance. You might be suprised. Like many have already noted, episodes 1 and 2 are a 2-part affair that doesn't really reflect how the majority of the show pans out (episodic and largely self contained), so it's best to go for episode 3+ (episode 4 is a personal favourite so far).

Edit: If you're a fan of classic Warner Bros humour, episodes 'Griffin the brush off' and 'Feeling Pinkie Keen' have got some good examples (indeed, the Pinkie episode looks to be based around that classic slapstick humour).

lol, just got done watchin the gryphon one, slapstick comedy and innocent vengeance with a twist? do want

though the lack of male characters makes me sad'ish

Yeah! Stop wasting time watching ponies and do important things like playing video games!

How you view people watching MLP appears to be the same as how others view us for playing video games. Maybe you should be less judgemental about stuff you don't know about.

The first two aren't really a good example of what the series is like- Most of the series is like an episode of Friends, while the first two episodes are a shonen action show(But with Ponies instead of androgynous teenagers)

No, if it were like Friends everyone would be insufferably smug. In fact, only Rarity is insufferably smug.

Rainbow's the smug one, I'd say. Rarity's just prissy, but actually quite kind.

RD is cocky, but at least she has a useful life skill (weather engineering). Rarity is a fashionista in a universe where the only item of clothing worn on a regular basis is Applejack's hat.

Rarity's skill is finding gemstones, being a Seamstress is how she puts that skill to use.

So who here likes Dr. Horrible?

I honestly can't believe this went 17 pages without posting.

Anyhoo,Now that we've taken over the Escapist.I suggest we continue our expansion.

Anyone got any ideas?

You could go to escapecraft...

I approve of this idea ^_^

What's Escapecraft?

Minecraft Server, was the unofficial Escapist one, now in name only.

Now, the off-topic-o-meter, she's reaching critical levels!
Here, have some insane Pinkie Pie;

The Incredible Bulk:

Are you coming home?

Also, I refuse to get sucked it! Nope, no, no, uh-un, no, nope, no!

......What?

Otherwise, oh well. Your loss.

Just a very quick in and out to avoid being memetically poisoned...

I'm simply going to reiterate my hypothesis that there are multiple clever, subtle, but very powerful subconcious triggers in the show that draw people in like zombies.

Also I have it on good authority that the original 80s series had - like a lot of them did - more than it's fair share of pretty dark moments anyway. There was like some dark lord in a tower who'd kidnap them and it all got a bit Stephen King or something. Maybe the new one has that. Maybe they've dropped it. I don't care to find out. So long as it stops invading my internets at some point ;)

This is so funny, because I'm watching MLP:FIM right now! While at school! XD

In fact, the episode in particular has got to be the girliest one of all; it's the one where Rarity makes all her friends new dresses for the Grand Galloping Gala and they all hold a fashion show.

What's even worse is that I actually wanted to by some of the new toys for MLP, after seeing they look just like they do in the cartoon... Except Princess Celestia, who's pink for some reason.

It's official, I'm obsessed... I don't WANT to be ashamed of it, but still, I can't help but feel strange that I'm interested in not only a TV show aimed at girls, but also the TOYS made for girls...

Dash isn't cocky, she's a jerk! Also, Rarity obviously has enough customers to keep her business going :P

I'd be a jerk too, if my sexuality was constantly questioned. :P

While we're talking about Rainbow Dash,is it me,or does she have kind of an Australian accent?
Thought I might just be going insane.

Australian accent? I don't know where that could be coming from, but I don' hear it.

Really the only identifiable 'accents' I can think of in the show are the:

A) Western (Apple Family)

B) German (Photo Finish)

C) Hoity (Like all the ponies with a top hat)
