you can certainly watch a single episode. it's 22 minutes long + far from unbearable.

the five minutes I watched way back when were unbearable

tbh you don't really need to watch even 30 sec of the show to afford other people the right to enjoy it

we slowly invented brains (La Lechera), Thursday, 13 February 2014 22:09 (twelve years ago)

please show me where I am abridging anyone's right to enjoy the show

Fight the Powers that Be with this Powerful Les Paul! (DJP), Thursday, 13 February 2014 22:10 (twelve years ago)

you're not! i'm just saying that it's not a requirement. geez!

we slowly invented brains (La Lechera), Thursday, 13 February 2014 22:11 (twelve years ago)

La Lechera otm

someone who repped for Drawn Together calling this unbearable however

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Thursday, 13 February 2014 22:15 (twelve years ago)

yeah because they're so similar tonally and I never decided Drawn Together was unbearable

try harder

Jeff and I watched an episode after we watched the brony doc bc those dudes were so into it and their enthusiasm was contagious. I was fully prepared to love it but it just didn't do it for me. Probably for the best all things considered.

Since the rise of this whole phenomenon I have watched some episodes. It's very cute and funny. Would watch again, but not something I would seek out or want to write constantly about on MLP forums and buy merch and stuff. Bronies are about as obnoxious as those Supernatural super-fans, or any obsessive fandom type.

Viceroy, Thursday, 13 February 2014 23:15 (twelve years ago)

Not as bad as buffy fans tbh

the waifdom of gizzards (darraghmac), Thursday, 13 February 2014 23:25 (twelve years ago)

except the want bonus points for obsessing over something so ~unconventional~

Supernatural super fans seem worse because that show is mostly garbage.

carl agatha, Thursday, 13 February 2014 23:26 (twelve years ago)

def need to try harder on my lighthearted zings cause that obv didnt bother you at all!

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Friday, 14 February 2014 00:42 (twelve years ago)

DEF disagree that boys (not 35 y/os) getting into this show is patriarchal appropriation - i think it's great tbh; however def also agree with dp that if grown men are getting into it so they can fuck it (lol) then that def is symptomatic of patriarchy obv

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Friday, 14 February 2014 00:46 (twelve years ago)

is it okay for grown men to like JEM

PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Friday, 14 February 2014 01:19 (twelve years ago)

kind of a must

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Friday, 14 February 2014 01:20 (twelve years ago)

alright then

PSY talks The Nut Job (forksclovetofu), Friday, 14 February 2014 01:21 (twelve years ago)

My best friend and I watched JEM together every day before catching the bus to middle school. I was under strict instructions never to tell anybody about it ever.

TRIVIA CHECK: we all know Jem's singing voice was Britta Phillips of Luna RIGHT?

jamiesummerz, Friday, 14 February 2014 01:42 (twelve years ago)

love that trivia.

jamiesummerz, Friday, 14 February 2014 01:42 (twelve years ago)

Adults being into this is no weirder than people watching CSI-style crime shows glamorizing the most nightmarish and violent aspects of society. Or any 24 Hour News channel fwiw.

Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau), Friday, 14 February 2014 01:57 (twelve years ago)

xp duh, but Britta Phillips was the best in Satisfaction.

we slowly invented brains (La Lechera), Friday, 14 February 2014 02:08 (twelve years ago)

now that is 1 fun fact

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Friday, 14 February 2014 02:33 (twelve years ago)

Maybe a little weirder xp

indifferent strokes (rip van wanko), Friday, 14 February 2014 02:34 (twelve years ago)

have these 309 new answers really been about whether it's okay to zing bronies?

mookieproof, Friday, 14 February 2014 02:38 (twelve years ago)

we found out that hurting is irl friends with furries also

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Friday, 14 February 2014 03:16 (twelve years ago)

ok, that's worthwhile to know

mookieproof, Friday, 14 February 2014 03:41 (twelve years ago)

Misfits are the greatest btw. Any excuse to post this proto-PJ Harvey track:

they were on netflix recently, but then they were yanked away

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Friday, 14 February 2014 04:25 (twelve years ago)

The Misfits are composed of petulant rich girl Pizzazz (real name Phyllis Gabor) and her cohorts: no-nonsense Roxy (Roxanne Pelligrini) and kind-hearted, sensitive keytar player Stormer (Mary Phillips).

keytar!

I named my childhood dog after Roxanne Pelligrini.

how's life, Friday, 14 February 2014 11:02 (twelve years ago)

i loved roxy!

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Friday, 14 February 2014 13:24 (twelve years ago)

i always wanted that to be my name, maybe she's the origin of that tbh

A community college cafeteria with pony stripper poles.

carl agatha, Saturday, 15 February 2014 15:59 (twelve years ago)

god damn it, why did "bring it here sweaty, cause I love it when it's funky" just pop into my head.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Saturday, 15 February 2014 16:03 (twelve years ago)

I feel like "not being able to shred" is fairly low on the list of things that bronies get accused of.

J3ff T., Friday, 21 February 2014 22:05 (twelve years ago)

love the BIG MAC sticker on that ax

1 P.3. Eternal (roxymuzak), Friday, 21 February 2014 22:48 (twelve years ago)

a tattoo. a tattoo of an apple.

4. Nels Cline and My Uncle Eat Soup at Panera Bread (3:37) (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 21 February 2014 23:04 (twelve years ago)

That's a "cutie mark" I am sure.

carl agatha, Friday, 21 February 2014 23:16 (twelve years ago)

The pony represented there is named Big MacIntosh. He is Applejack's brother and lives at Sweet Apple Acres. carl, you are correct, that is his cutie mark.

how's life, Friday, 21 February 2014 23:35 (twelve years ago)

I knew a 'big Macintosh'. He smoked cigarettes in grade school and always carried throwing knives.

4. Nels Cline and My Uncle Eat Soup at Panera Bread (3:37) (Sufjan Grafton), Friday, 21 February 2014 23:39 (twelve years ago)

The horse fingers really creep me out.

J3ff T., Friday, 21 February 2014 23:50 (twelve years ago)

the frets are too large

if you had hooves you'd go long-scale too
