Add me in for another vote on the MLP: FiM fad. Also add me in on the Anime stuff. I've watched some stuff like Sailor Moon, Robotech, and a few other more kiddie cartoons (*ahem* The Adventures of the Little Koala ) and while I found those to be alright, some of the other stuff I just find to be...well...WEIRD. Spirited Away was probably the strangest cartoon I've ever seen in my life. There's a game coming out called "Catherine" that I played the demo of...it feels to me almost to be exactly like Spirited Away...just plain weird. I can't say I really get the fandom over Transformers either. I remember Optimus being awesome in the 80's...until they killed him in the movie...and all my respect vanished. He-man kicked Skeletor's ass, Lion-O beat the hell out of Mumm-ra, G.I. Joe pummeled Cobra, the Silverhawks took it to Mon-Star, the Galactic Guardians beat the crap out of Darkseid and the Legion of Doom, and Spiderman and his Amazing friends raped Dr. Doom. Optimus got KILLED by his arch enemy...that's how bad he sucks...he was killed. And right now, he and the rest of the loser autobots are toted around like they are the best thing ever to come out of the 80's. If the fate of the universe is in the hands of "gay, boring, crappily animated" He-man or f***ing Optimus Prime, I'll put my faith in the most powerful man in the universe, thank you very much. EDIT: Bleh, with all my ranting and rambling, I almost forgot a fad that I hated but has since went away: Scott f***ing Pilgrim.

Anime. Or more specifically, pictures of scantily-clad, creepy Asian "girls". I don't really get the whole love of Japanese culture in general. Agreed. I personally feel Anime is nothing but a bunch of lines and sharp angles.

Any Affliction-type clothing.
I don't know, to me it just looks like somebody sloshed a bunch of paint across the garment and slapped a skull or whatever in there for good measure.
I don't get it.
I wish some big UFC name would start wearing dress shirts.

Add me in for another vote on the MLP: FiM fad. It's cool that you don't like MLP. We all have different- To be totally honest, it's not that I exactly dislike/hate the MLP: FiM fad, I just don't understand it. I really just wish I had knowledge how how to make those sig thingys so that I could use one of He-man for myself. As for Optimus, after re-reading my post, I was very harsh. Let me ask my other heroes for their opinions. He-man? "Well old friend, you were a bit rough on Optimus. You have to remember that we're all different inside. And that's ok. Until next time..." Thanks He-man. Lion-O, how do you feel? "I have to echo He-man's words. You have to be not so harsh in your opinion because harshness can affect how harsh other people will be to you." Fair enough, Spiderman, what about you? "Walloping webswingers! I'm just lucky to get Miss Lion out before she goes to the bathroom on Aunt May's new couch!" Uh, ok...Optimus Prime, do YOU think I was too rough on ya? "..." Optiums? Your opinion please? "..." Prime? "..." Oh yeah, you can't tell me how you feel because you FAILED and are DEAD! Never mind. ;D ;D To be serious though, Jet, it does annoy me that Optimus Prime died (and yeah, I know they brought him back in that weirdo futuristic later season with Rodimus Prime and stuff), but then I never understood how a multi-ton giant semi-truck loses to a puny little hand pistol anyway.

The Ponies. But then again, a ton of internet fads boil down to "how many silly pictures can we make with this?", and that show seems to fit that pattern. To see why I personally like it, please go back to page 1. For me, it's personal.

My Little Pony. Dan Vs is a MUCH better show.
Lacrosse. Is it just me or has lacrosse been all over ESPN for the past couple of months?

American Idol, Glee, and My Little Pony.
I also don't get how Harry Potter has gotten as massively popular as it is. I honestly expected the first HP flick to be a huge box office bomb.

Geez man, you don't need to leap on every post that says My Little Pony. Meh, I'm just trying to respond to posts by people that say they don't understand it. I just don't see it as a fad or anything. I see myself loving this particular incarnation of MLP until my dying day. That's how much it means to me.

I do think, also, there's a difference between not liking and not understanding.
Myself, I don't like Transformers. I never was into cars and robots as a kid, so the entire series did nothing for me until Beast Wars. However, I do understand why people like it.

Or that you might be a unique case, and that, the second a new "kids show it's ok for "grownups" to like" comes around, the Pony fad won't get dropped like a hot potato?

I live in L.A. and the one fad I can't stand is this Cholo look. Bald head, oversized white tee or white wifebeater, dickie shorts that go almost down to your ankles or baggy jeans, knee high socks, and white sneakers. Basically this look: And I get that maybe its because they might be in a gang, but for those who aren't, you shouldn't dress like you represent something when you don't.

Yeah, Rainbow, no disrespect, but the Ponydom is kind of creepy.
You like it? You watch it? Cool, but you like champion it. It's...like, what's with it? Why? Nothing against you as a person, I'm just saying the people do not "get it" and I get that people don't get it because I don't get it. What is going on with this stuff? Why is it THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN TIME!?

Ya know, I've never understood that. Dropped like a hot potato. Does a hot potato not get picked back up? Does the 5 Second Rule not apply to hot potatoes? To me that seems like a waste of a good potato. It's still hot.

the pony thing is definatly a fad, as can be seen by the amount of people with pictures in thier sigs 2 months ago, compared to the amount of people with pony sigs now x
don't know if it can be classed as a fad or not, but I've yet to understand the reasoning behind the habit of embedding two second youtube videos into posts. two examples being that family guy laughing ostrich, or the futurama laugh harder one. Surely its significantly more efficient to just type 'haha' or 'lol' as opposed to going on another website, finding the video, c+ping into the post =/
I've also never got the Ryder love (which incidentilly seemed to die down when the pony love started to take over sigs) but It could be argued that how people feel about Ryder, I feel about Cabana x

Why is it THE MOST IMPORTANT THING THAT HAS EVER HAPPENED IN TIME!? You summed up exactly how I feel about the thing. You see, I f***ing LOVE Regular Show. I don't have a Mordecai signature, a Rigby avatar, and a Regular Show-themed username. You can like what you like, I have nothing against it, but it's HOW you like it, and no, I'm not calling you in particular out on it, because you're not the only one. This isn't even close to being the only forum I frequent, and it's spread to all of them as well. I have a few friends who are embarrassed about liking the show because of the fandom.
