Great, now can somebody get Paul Stookey to do The Wedding Song before I get around to getting married? posted by gracedissolved at 7:18 PM on October 14, 2011
A part of me, a bad, bad part of me, really wants to show that to my MLP-loving daughter. posted by lekvar at 7:49 PM on October 14, 2011 [2 favorites]
I love everything about this.

That feels very, very much like something John Kricfalusi would do. The facial expressions ... is it possible? posted by zippy at 8:02 PM on October 14, 2011

Meanwhile, my 2-y.o., with full control of the Roku remote, choses to watch episodes of Shaun the Sheep and Ruby Gloom, over and over and over again.
How you like THEM apples! posted by Slap*Happy at 8:46 PM on October 14, 2011
Heh. It's what the world must look like to Mike Lazaridis. posted by 4ster at 8:56 PM on October 14, 2011 [1 favorite]
Man, tomorrow I'm going out to buy a shitload of apples. posted by horsemuth at 9:09 PM on October 14, 2011

This is birthed by a generation raised on John K. Cher was right, Ren and Stimpy were way existential. posted by Betty_effn_White at 9:10 PM on October 14, 2011 [1 favorite]

Heavens no. It's visually comprehensible, and that's something Kricfalusi is incapable of. posted by kafziel at 9:36 PM on October 14, 2011 [2 favorites]
This proves my original thesis, which no one picked up, that APPLE JACK IS THE BEST MLP! I just hope he gets help for his apple problem. posted by PinkMoose at 10:20 PM on October 14, 2011
I...I'm sorry. I'm just not qualified to comment on this. I watched it, and I have nothing.
I'd never thought I'd see the day when NOT watching My Little Pony made me a social outcast. posted by HostBryan at 10:48 PM on October 14, 2011 [1 favorite]
Also, what the fuck is wrong with you MLP people?

hippybear: "It has shocking tributes to John K. in there. Is MLP full of that kind of thing?"
Today's episode featured more off-model almost-grotesquery than ever before. While nothing close to Ren and Stimpy, it maybe shows the animators are a little less on-leash than in season one.
It's on the youtubes and is called "Lesson Zero", if you're curious. posted by ArmyOfKittens at 2:14 PM on October 15, 2011
Plus it had [SPOILER] this, which while perfectly on-model is also great. posted by ArmyOfKittens at 2:19 PM on October 15, 2011 [1 favorite]
Today I learned that sometimes your friends are part of peripheral demographics, and that their tastes and talents can be really... diverse. When your friends get inspired to make a story or a picture or a song or a video, you can never predict the form that inspiration is going to take.
I also learned that when somepony's first exposure to your show is through a fan video that's twelve kinds of fucked up, it might make them leery of being friends with you. But that's okay. They'll join the herd eventually. And in the meantime, I'll love and tolerate the shit out of them.
Finally, I learned that YouTube, much like DeviantArt and Ponibooru, is filled with completely normal people.
Did you know you can curse in internet videos! And use copyrighted characters to say things out of context as parody! That may or may not equal being funny.
Really, I'm not an MLP fan, but cute things saying "cunt" and acting drugged isn't really that funny. Remove the swears, and it's pony eating apples and people telling him he'll get a tummy ache.
I guess I'm old now, sorry. posted by CharlesV42 at 4:37 PM on October 16, 2011
I run a successful apple-farming business in a small rural town. I sell my produce at a slim profit to ordinary Equestrians. But when I took my business to the big city, they turned their noses up at me and refused to even try my "common" apple pies.
I am the 99%.
PS. The Wonderbolts liked my pies. Support our athletes! posted by ArmyOfKittens at 6:02 AM on October 18, 2011 [7 favorites]
