The only reason it seems to be this popular is just because of the ironic value of an adult male liking My Little Pony.

Incorrect! In fact I'm sick of everyone pointing out the "irony." The main reason it's popular is because it's a huge fountain of memes. The lesser reason it's popular is some crazy folk like me like it legitimately.


Simple fact is, not everything appeals to everyone. Watching an entire season of something you find mediocre is pretty impressive, though; did someone goad you into it? There are some pushy bronies out there and it annoys everyone.

Yeah I think the best approach is to simply not make a big deal of it.  Sure I have no interest in the show or ponies or the community or anything but then again I wouldn't want somebody dissing my entertainment so it's best to just keep an indifferent mind and space.

TBH I don't understand why there are that many people in this forum liking that show. It's about talking ponies. It *can't* be good, pretty much by definition.

This may help explain things a bit; a review of the show as done by a guy who reviews a lot of shows and movies.

I suppose its like how the Show Spongebob was for adults, meant for kids but adults could still be entertained watching it.

 It also has some pretty good animations. Even with simple rigging and poses they get the idea of anticipation and secondary actions.

That's a pretty ridiculous claim. That something can't be good because its premise is a bit silly. It's easy to assume that it won't be good, and it's more than likely it won't be good, but you can't judge things like that, it's completely useless and unhelpful.

I think it's fun and occasionally quite clever, myself.

This was what caught my attention.  It's a very well produced show, benefiting from a lot of the groundbreaking Adobe-animation that went into the last decade of Cartoon Network shows.  And the same writers for that matter.  Nobody ever said The Power Puff Girls was actually a show for girls (my dad loved it for God's sake).  You just need an astute sense of writing for situational comedy, and a good art team to convey the mood.

I'm certainly not some gushing fan of the show, but it is the kind of thing any studio would be proud to produce.

Step 1: Remember an old song you liked and decide to play it in Audiosurf
Step 2: Search through two computers for MP3 and then go through the trouble of remotely emailing it to yourself from a different computer
Step 3: Search through the Audiosurf song list to try to give it a proper name/artist so the high score list will have other people on it
Step 4: Finally play the song, and there's only 3 blocks in the entire track. Two blue, one red. Zero points.

What the hell song was that? I must know!

I want to give up.  I feel stupid.

I'm sure this will pass someday, but right now it's very real.

I know that telling you you are smart is actually no help because that won't change what you feel, but still, you are pretty clever from what I can tell. Good luck to you on your quest to become even smarter, or honestly whatever else you decide to do.

We just weathered the largest storm in my life. We had to batten down the hatches and windows. The radar showed the rain was about as intense as the radar could show...

We had GOLFBALL SIZED HAIL striking the windows. Very scary. Flash flooding all about... I don't know how I'm going to get to the funeral tomorrow if the roads are going to be blocked.
