"Rainbow Dash underestimates how far Twilight will go."

"One fine day whilst visiting my cousin, we decided to color. If not for her enjoyment of this hobby, this past time would have never been born. We sat down to begin and I casually flipped through a rather large coloring book. Perhaps it was fated that this particular coloring book was full of slightly deranged looking animals. I could not help but imagine them plotting and feuding with one another. Inspired, I began to turn a seemingly innocent children’s coloring book into something both awful and hilarious (at least to me)." This is Coloring Book Corruptions. (NSFW)

This guy also created a subreddit for this stuff. Personally, I preferred when Strong Bad did it.

So poignant and sad... yet magical

There are basically four ways to deface children's stuff. Sex, violence, pee/poop, Satan/Nazis. Every person with a child and a juvenile sense of humor knows this: my daughter got a Magnadoodle for her birthday; it took about three hours for me to draw a cartoon devil and "hooray for Satan" to annoy my mother-in-law.

I think that stuff's funny when you're not expecting it. Funnier than I should at my age, actually. However, viewing a bunch at a sitting gives you temporary immunity. Except for the Pooh golden shower joke. That was AWESOME!

As a kid I had both Marmaduke and Heathcliff books and this was the only way one could hope to derive enjoyment from them. Marmaduke actually makes quite a bit more sense when he is constantly pissing and shitting everywhere while his owners are brandishing guns and knives at him.

This is so juvenile and I can't stop giggling.

Don't forget drugs. The most facile 20% or so of the ones on the FPP linked page are just "Hurr, let's add a joint".

The lead one with Twilight Sparkle and Rainbow Dash is only shocking if you've not spent much time around Pony fanfiction.

Generally on these, yeah, I'm with clockzero. Sure you can take something innocent and "corrupt" it with sex and violence and drugs and whatnot. But why? We know the world contains these things, indeed, they're impossible to ignore these days.

I really want to try this myself now. As to why: because it forces my brain to make a radical shift from cutesy mode to horror scenario mode, and I appreciate the challenge.

Edgy and youth oriented!

If you're gonna do this, you -really- have to do the 'before-after' thing. That's where the real artistry comes in - seeing how just a minor change to the art that already exists adds so much to what was before.
