I dunno. If people want to, go right ahead. Im saying that the MLP threads routinely go through like 30 pages in 2 days and nothing else here comes close to that and that just makes me wonder why nothing else is as popular To be fair, it's a lot of us just shooting the s*** over both the fanbase and a lot of our own IRL stuff since we've all become legit friends through the threads. That, plus lots of news in the midst of a season, new episodes, and plenty of art, and other stuff from the fans can lead to quick threads.

It was pretty funny, and sadly very true for at least a few people in the fanbase.

Lots of good art, lots of good comics, some great videos and stuff, and lots of in jokes that have formed from the fanbase, as well as us on the forum. Pretty much simple as that. So why isnt it done for other stuff like Transformers or whatever ? Well, if you're looking at the Internet as just being this forum, then that's warranted. However, I'm sure there's Transformers threads like it as well, and Star Trek, and Football, and Video Games etc. etc. etc. Oh, I thought it was funny as well. Cheeto fingers reminded me of Al from Toy Story 2 - not breaking new ground as Sin said, but still funny.

I thought it was pretty hilarious myself. I enjoy a lot of self-depreciating humor (I watch the show and really enjoy it, as well as discussing things on the MLP threads, but that's about it).

At Christmas I was talking to my cousin who's kinda like a macho, metro sexual kinda dude, and I was telling him about MLP and what Bronies's were and he had no clue what I was talking about and he looked at me like I had two heads. Clearly theres people out there who dont understand it or never would be able to understand it.

Saw this the other day and I laughed.
I gave up on CollegeHumour a long time ago but it's stuff like this that reminds me that it did have a couple of gems every now and then. Also it was cool to see the little clip of the old Batman/Superman sketch they did a few years back pop up on the TV.

I understand someone watching the show and buying the toys but why constantly post pictures of the characters you find online ? Where's the joy in that ? Why cant you just watch the show and buy the toys ? How does posting pictures on a forum of the same exact thing day after day to no end end excite you ? Why can't wrestling fans just enjoy the shows and buy the DVDs? Why must we post random pics online and over-analyze every little detail and complain about how much it sucks?

I like how the bronies have taken this in good humour and the non-bronies have been all "UH OH THEY'RE ALL GONNA GET MAD NOW THIS THREAD IS GOING TO HELL".
...Carry on.

Wrestling has fans that do it, Star Trek has fans that do it, metal has fans that do it, every form of entertainment have fans that do it. I actually think pro sports have the worst fanbase in regards to that. You have tv channel after tv channel, radio station after radio station, video game after video game, all devoted to it. Hardcore sports fans get in heated arguments about stats, coaches' decisions, schedules, fantasy sports, etc. The very same things that sci fi fans get made fun of for doing, sports fans get a free pass, all because it's the most socially acceptable nerdome.

To be fair, the MLP:FIM fanbase consists of the most thin-skinned fans I've ever come across, and that's saying an awful lot. So it's good to see not ALL of them are insecure assholes who can't take a joke.

I really don't lose my shit unless it's a deliberate insult to me, my friends, or the fanbase for stupid reasons like "It's a meme"

I'm glad I wasn't the only one who thought of Toy Story 2 after that.

...if this guy was such a hardcore MLP fan, why are Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie the LAST ponies in his collection?
also, I feel sorry for that fleshlight.

Funny enough, only ones of the mane six I don't have yet are Twilight and Pinkie. Though I do have a Pinkie blind bag one, and I'm holding off on getting a proper version of her until that Toys R Us thing.
Not sure what to do with the extra Rainbow Dash.

I am really glad this thread was civil and we were able to enjoy the video. I was on the fence about posting it, because I didn't want anyone to think I was trying to be disrespectful to the fans of My Little Pony.
