I'm probably a bad person for finding this hilarious.

I didn't find it hilarious, but I did find it funny. So you're not alone.

Pinkie Pie is the greatest single threat to the state and the existence of our world in history. She has the power, the power to realize it's all a ruse...

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

Sweetie Belle (Belle, motherfuckers, can you spell it?) is stone cold. She called Scootaloo a dodo, a flightless bird. Ouch.

I wonder if MLP is finally realizing 75% of their fanbase are males over 13.

That's been well known information for quite a while now.

Oh, I do love me a well-done YTP. And with ponies, no less!
What the hell did I just watch?

This kind of reminds me of that episode of Sealab 2021 where Quinn starts tripping balls after being shocked in the head with a homemade tesla-coil.

I really do adore how much backstory and serious!Celestia they dropped at the start of that ep.

I somehow doubt that this is true where TV is concerned.  But even still, remember, this is actually a problem.  MLP has two revenue streams.

One big revenue stream is the toys.  How many toys do you guys buy?  I know I have the McDonalds toys, and Hasbro didn't exactly make a bunch of cash off of those.  The stores haven't put out any great gotta-have-it toys yet (white Celestia for example), but how much money are you guys actually going to spend on it?  Consider, ten households where little girls are huge fans of MLP versus ten households where male high school / college students are huge fans of MLP.  I assure you that the little girls' families are going to spend at least a hundred bucks collectively due to the "BUT I WANT IT" factor, while the bronies...not so much.  Oh yeah, we buy fan-made shirts, but they don't make any cash from that anyway (unless you get it from welovefine and even then it isn't much at all).

The other revenue stream is advertising.  They get ZERO benefit from us watching on TV (which face it, we don't do anyway).  Advertisers care about their target audience because that's who they are selling to, the ads just don't apply to anyone else.  You advertise things for kids (or their parents) on a kids' show, and you sell stuff.  One million families will sell about the same number of kids toys from commercials as one million families + one million college students.  If you try and split up your commercials to appeal to everyone who might be watching, you tend to get even worse results.  So their advertisers ignore us completely because we are literally worthless to them.

Anyway, considering that someone needs to sign the paychecks, how do you want them to make money off of us?

By selling high-value, high-quality merchandise like figurines of the mane cast and background characters directly through the internet so as to maximize profits.
