I'm not sure where all the GTA San Andreas bronies are coming from, but apparently they like modding the hell out of their game with all sorts of pony nonsense. A few days ago I posted a GTA opening video. Someone has hacked it into the game to replace the current one. You can find the mod here!

Today's best pony is.....Pinkie Pie! Did you know Cereal absolutely hates her? I don't understand it! Pinkie Pie is awesome!
He didn't even read cupcakes.... It makes no sense. I need a new blog minion.
115 comments:
I don't see what the big deal with calling out first is.
ReplyDeleteThat being said........FIRST
How can you hate Pinkie Pie? I don't understand...
ReplyDeleteSECOND!
ReplyDeleteFuck Cereal.
ReplyDeleteHow can you not like pinkie?
@Sethisto : just to let you know, it looks like the Bronys have invaded cracked.com, there photoplasty contest "What is flags Got redesigned" had twilight sparkle on a rather interesting flag....
ReplyDeleteI would love to be a blog minion! Not that Pinkie Pie is my favorite or anything, but I don't hate her. I love everypony.
ReplyDeleteThe company I word for is attending Comic Con.
ReplyDeleteI. Am. So. There.
I thought this roundup would include 2 ponychan mod's quitting ( Twilight and Spike )
ReplyDelete^_^ But great nightly round up!
Damnit. Makes me wish I could go to Comic-Con.
ReplyDeleteI should probably join Facebook, see what all the fuss is.
ReplyDelete'Blog Minion'? Sounds nasty.
ReplyDeleteHow can you not like Pinkie Pie!?
ReplyDelete*angrily shakes hoof*
Shouldn't this be number 35?
ReplyDelete@PinkaminaThat was mentioned in Nightly Roundup 33.
Dude, if it wasn't for Pinkie's craziness in Green Isn't Your Color, I'd have never gone on to watch any other episodes of Pony ever.
ReplyDeleteWell, probably...
Huh? Pinkie Pie is awesome! It's impossible to hate her.
ReplyDelete"Pinkie Pie, you are sooo random!"
Some just don't like Pinkie Pie. I don't understand it myself, but it takes all kinds to make a fandom.
ReplyDelete>Pony Profile Pic Month
ReplyDeleteDammit, Seth, now you're just trying to elicit weird looks from my friends.
"Blog minion," eh? Would I be able to add that to my résumé?
Blog Minions? Sounds like Seth's dreams of taking over the world with Trixie are taking over his mind.
ReplyDeleteAbout time they did, I was expecting it to happen weeks ago.
Cereal is a boy??!
ReplyDeleteAll shock aside, I can't understand why anybody would dislike Pinkie Pie.
Woah, woah, woah, wait a minute. There is actually a mentally stable human being who doesn't love Pinkie Pie? I don't think I quite understand.
ReplyDeleteI'LL BE YOUR NEW MINION, PINKIE IS AND HAS ALWAYS BEEN BEST PONY.
ReplyDeleteSeth, are you kidding me??? You're making bronies make excuses for liking ponies on Facebook?!?!? I am disappoint.
ReplyDeleteCome on, Seth! I've actually shown people the awesomeness of FiM thanks to having my profile picture on Facebook be Fluttershy all the time. Now it's my OC pony though...such a tough choice. Anyway, point is there's no shame!
ReplyDeleteThat's a funny way to spell NOPONY.
ReplyDeleteinb4 first
ReplyDeleteIf only I lived near San Diego...
ReplyDeleteHah, I was ahead of the trend, my Facebook pic has been rapidash Twilight for at least 3 months now. It also turned my friend brony.
ReplyDelete"What is that a picture of?"
"It's a My Little Pony that evolved into Rapidash when she got mad. -insert link here-"
"/)(^3^)(\ >My friends face when going to link"
Cereal hates Pinkie Pie?
ReplyDeleteWell shes my Second favorite & she can be quite cute & adorable at times even in that famous psycho scene in party of one she was quite adorable.
He hates Pinkie but loves Rarity.
ReplyDeleteI can't decide if I want to love or tolerate the shit out of him.
Shadowbolt, not wonderbolt.
ReplyDeleteI know it has nothing to do with MLP, but no San Andreas mod will ever top:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=agTDR7fG1T8
But...but Pinkie's my favorite pony!
ReplyDeleteY U NO LIKE PINKIE?
http://www.facebook.com/#!/event.php?eid=143722949039331
ReplyDeleteThe link is here for anyone who wants to be part of the 'official' Pony Profile Pic event.
I wanna see how big we can make this thing. I want everyone's newsfeed to be nothing but ponies by September 1.
Pinkie Pie is clearly the best pony. How could anyone NOT see this?
ReplyDeleteI don't like Pinkie Pie as much the others of the manecast. She's a great mascot, though.
ReplyDeleteAlso, Rarity is the BEST pony.
San Andreas is a pretty moddable game, and it's been around long enough that a couple of groups have almost completely picked the code apart. Wouldn't surprise me if they found a way to swap in actual pony models before too long.
ReplyDeleteAnd I can understand how Pinkie Pie can be a bit too much for some folks. You have to get accustomed to being around that much awesomeness, after all!
As a side note, I just saw the Pinkie Pie picture at the bottom and was instantly reminded of the Myomyomyon 4 hour Pinkie Pie version and almost made me want to watch it again.
ReplyDelete@Pinkamina
ReplyDeleteI just saw the flag... was it supposed to be a LSD swastika flag?
I can understand. Pinkie was my least favorite for a while after Rarity moved out of that spot with Suited for Success.
ReplyDeleteI think I finally kind of "got" Pinkie about halfway through "The Party Hasn't Ended", actually. That got me thinking about what was going on below the surface, which was actually confirmed in Party of One!
So, in short, I don't assign "least favorite" anymore.
Pinkie Pie is best pony! I admire her. Ah, what I wouldn't give to have even half as much energy and ability to know (and care about!) everypony in town. I mean... Gilda upset Pinkie Pie, and Pinkie decided to 'improve her attitude' by throwing a party! How can that not be best pony?
ReplyDeleteCereal, I don't think I can love you any more. Hate Pinkie Pie? Those three words don't make sense together! She's so...happy.
ReplyDeletepinkie pie mai waifu
ReplyDeleteCereal, how can you hate Pinkie Pie? She's the most funny character, plus she's cute and goofy!
ReplyDeletePink pony is ALWAYS best pony! :D
ReplyDeleteWhen Pinkie finally breaches the fourth wall, Cereal will be her first victim.
ReplyDeleteWhy have an excuse? I'm making sure they know I don't give a crap.
ReplyDeleteI also don't understand the Pinkie hate. :( She's my favorite!!!
ReplyDeleteHow can you hate on Pinkie? She comes up with pretty cool songs and I love her randomness,like when she puts her head into the frame.
ReplyDeleteStaying anonymous >_>
ReplyDeletePinkie annoys me whenever she breaks the rules to suit her needs. The fact that she does this upto and including things that should remain story-inviolate (like being faster than Dash) reeks of, frankly, lazy writing and almost Mary-Sue-ism.
The fanbase annoys me when they see this behavior as "what makes Pinkie great" - I recently saw some people try to compare her to Haruhi Suzumiya.
Fundamentally, she breaks suspension of disbelief. Yes, significantly more than talking pastel equines do; there is such a thing as *internal* consistency, guys.
That said, I like Pinkie as much as anyone else when she's not doing that kind of stuff, like in... Fall Weather Friends, for one. And she does make a great mascot.
Pinkie isn't my favourite but while I don't hate her, I do think the whole psycho alter-ego is waaaay overdone by the fandom. It's fine in one episode when things don't go right and she snaps, but if "Pinkamena" appears on the show again, I'll be sorely disappointed. Fortunately, my impression of the writers is that they're smarter than that.
ReplyDeletePinkie obeys one rule, the almighty rule of funny!
ReplyDeleteGee... that Luna auction is already up to $40 O_O
ReplyDelete@Chris Lowrey
ReplyDeleteThe issue with calling out "First" is every time you do it your IQ drops 1pt and everybody's respect for you drops 15pts.
Your employer may also contemplate firing you. As in many/most places it's on the "Don't do this list." so apparently you also can't follow rules, or common etiquette.
@crazyredemu
ReplyDeleteExactly. And that's a problem, because the show is not always a comedy, and tends to like having things at stake.
@crazyredemu
ReplyDeleteExactly, and that's a problem because the show is not always a comedy. Because it likes to have actual problems and actual solutions and actual things at stake.
I want that Luna ;.;
ReplyDeleteAlso
Silly Seth, that's clearly a shadowbolt
How can you not like pinkie pie Cereal? Pinkie Pie is the best pony.
ReplyDeleteWell to each his/her own i guess.
I have a total love/hate relationship with Pinkie.
ReplyDeleteOn the one hand she's probably the least developed/most shallow character of the main cast, and she gets to break the fourth wall with impunity in ways that actually affect the plot of an episode and aren't just for gag value. As a long-time RPer, the metagaming offends me. Plus, I just don't like curly poofy hair that much. :|
On the other hand, every single time I see that screencap that's in the above post, I absolutely melt. It's probably the most lovable face made in the entire series.
I knew it!!! When I heard Twilight Sparkle saying "Pikie... ¬¬!" at the "Ticket Master Pinky Pie´s "Twilight is my best friend" song... It sounds just like Raven from the Teen Titans!! damn now I love that actress more!! D= I'll go to San Diego ASAP! ¬¬
ReplyDelete"San Diego Comic Con"
ReplyDeleteAs usual, bronies, DON'T do something like this-
"Miss Strong, I just want to say YESYESYESYESYES"
or
"Tara, I just want to say you make the panel 20% cooler"
...etc
It won't be funny, it will be cringeworthy.
Eh, if they show Pinkamina again, I hope that they'll wait a season or two. Let that little plot point become new again and put her in a different situation than "I KNEW it! My Friends have been avoiding me and don't want to be my friends anymore!!! *Poof* Oh no... My friends have been avoiding me and don't want to be my friends anymore...".
ReplyDeleteWait... Twilight's Raven from TT? O_o Fan... Overload... Can't... CONTAIN IT!!!!!!! *Explosion*
Im sure someone has already offered but I will gladly be your pony minion.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDelete"Pinkie annoys me whenever she breaks the rules to suit her needs. The fact that she does this upto and including things that should remain story-inviolate (like being faster than Dash) reeks of, frankly, lazy writing and almost Mary-Sue-ism."
It isn't lazy or Mary-Sue-ism.
Haven't you ever watched Looney Tunes? They would do this stuff all the time. Like in the Pepe Le Pew cartoons where the cat would be running away much faster and Pepe would somehow manage to catch up even though it's impossible. The impossible things Pinkie does is a throwback to classic cartoons. She's breaking the fourth wall.
@Asgard
ReplyDeleteI feel you Br0, when I knew it I also almost exploded!! hahaha.
I just hope she doesn´t get annoyed with MLP:FiM Only questions, you and also ask her about... other stuff? like.. Raven? or Ben Tenison O.O!! (yes she also does that voice... and Timmy Turner too!) hahaha so curious. I admire voice actors they can create an unlimited range of voices o.O"
And you need an editor, Seth, according to you.
ReplyDeleteOh and I live in San Diego but I'm not going to Comicon. Why spend good money on stuff you can read on the internets?
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteYeah, she's breaking the fourth wall, and it's pretty funny (Green Isn't Your Color had me laughing), but when the rest of the show stays pretty clearly within the fourth wall, she sticks out and not necessarily in a good way.
But at this point I'm prepared to call it Overthinking A Cartoon and let it slide. Besides, dat face. <3
Without pinkie pie, FiM isn't complete. Hell all of them are vital... maybe not so much rarity.
ReplyDeleteWhy do all awesome things have to be in America?
ReplyDeleteThere's no way I would be able to attend Comic con this year :<
I think the real question here is...
ReplyDeleteHow could you hate any of the ponies!?
For shame...
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteFourth-wall breaking is actually a completely different thing (look it up!), and Pinkie's breakage of the fourth wall has been... pretty awesome so far, actually.
And... I love Looney Tunes, man; I know exactly what they're referencing. It's still done in a way that breaks *this* show's fiction. It appears lazy and almost Mary-Sueish in the context of Friendship is Magic and the world they've built.
My arguments are all about the impact on the show, and so they'd still apply even if you pointed out that they reference Duck Dodgers. However brain-meltingly awesome that would be.
@Anonymousbecause pinkie pie is annoying as fuck, and cupcakes ruined her. deal with it.
ReplyDelete@Pinkamina Actually, that was already in the last Nightly Roundup.
ReplyDeleteAs for Pinkie Pie, I find her amusing, but she's only my 4th favorite of the mane cast(Rainbow Dash>Twilight Sparkle>Fluttershy>Pinkie Pie>Rarity>Applejack is my order of preference if you care about that) I used to think a bit more highly of her, but then I read that fanfic, and it ruined a lot of things for me.
Also, Tara Strong has been one of my favourite voice actresses for years, and I loved the show even more after I realized she was voicing Twilight.
@Sphere of Suggestionbeing a brony is about love and tolerance
ReplyDeleteAnd then Cereal comes in and says that Seth be trolling
ReplyDelete@Stengbang
ReplyDeleteThere's also this Facebook event for this month's Pony Profile Pic Month. It seems like it's happening twice, somehow. Oh well, more ponies!
pinkies response to cereal....
ReplyDeletehttp://www.furaffinity.net/view/6103227
CEREAL
ReplyDeleteY U NO LIKE PINKIE
I hate Pinkie Pie too, she's just a pile of Annoyance mixed with cliche's, and she's also Spongebob and Patricks lovechild.
ReplyDeleteAnd I will not risk being mocked by my friends for having a pony profile pic! Your trying to control us, you should just rename this "Pony Profile Month" to OPERATION: MINDCRIME, cause your trying to control our minds! Also because I peg you as a guy who likes Prog Metal.
Nopony can hate Pinkie Pie! Sounds to me somepony's being a Grumpy McGrumpypants!
ReplyDeleteHow can you hate Pinkie Pie?! Seriously when I first started watching the show, I was 99.9% sure she was going to be the worst character between her odd behavior and singing... and now she's my favorite!
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteSeems like a lot of people are hurt in the rectal area about people hating Pinkie.
ReplyDeleteI've always been a fan of Tara Strong's VA work. From Timmy Turner, to Bubbles, to Ben Tennyson. She certainly has many great character voices under her belt.
ReplyDeleteSadly, I won't be going to Comicon since I live on the opposite side of the country from it, but to all bronies who are going, don't spam her with endless pony questions We have Ashleigh Ball on our side, I'd like for us to not scare Tara off. Ask her questions, but ask her questions about her other work as well, not just ponies
Also, while Pinkie isn't my favorite pony (Dash is best pony, IMO), I certainly enjoy watching Pinkie's antics on the show. "Party of One" and her bits in "Green Isn't Your Color" are just great.
Pinkie Pie's my favourite pony EVER.
ReplyDeleteShe's always making me laugh.
How could you NOT like her!?
@Dave Mustang, the cynical Brony Spongebob and Patrick Love child? Foal Please...
ReplyDeleteShe isn't on that level would you rather her just be the boring old flat personality pony.
Guys, what I don't get is how (on a site that endorses love, tolerance, and friendship) some of you are complaining, whining, and ranting about why you HATE this character, or why this one is better.
ReplyDeleteWhy Bronys? Why? I thought we were above this sort of thing. I thought it didn't matter who we liked or disliked because we were all united under "Friendship". What's happening guys? Is it really that easy to throw what we so proudly say we believe in aside and start arguing with our fellow bronys? (I believe this applies to all arguments, not just this) There is no reason to hide behind "Anonymous" and throw insults at some peoples favorite characters. I thought it would be obvious that instead of being a big meanie pants, we would try to understand the character better, and understand the person behind the username. I never cared for Rarity much until I listened to people and thought about her. I now care about her a lot more.
Is this all wishful thinking on my part, guys? :(
I don't know anymore...
Friendship is magic, right?
Maybe Cereal is Jelly
ReplyDelete(HuffytheMagicDragon)
...
ReplyDeleteI do not absolutely hate Pinkie. I do not prefer Pinkie.
Sheesh Seth.
@Cereal Velocity
ReplyDeleteWhile your sentences made grammatical sense, I noticed that did not make any sort of logical or coherent sense. I believe that. purely by accident, you may have added a superfluous negatory in your final statement. Let me remind you that it is commond decency to never put the words "not", "prefer", and "Pinkie" together unless you are either making a joke or insulting someone's intelligence by stating that that is what they do.
I hope you learned something from this and will immediately rectify the situation. Cheers!
If anyone is attending the meeting with Tara Strong at Comic Con, can you ask her why the Fairly Oddparents sucks so bad now?
ReplyDeleteKidding!
Um, well, no, not really...
Pinkie Pie creeps me right the eff out and she has since the very first episode. I've tried liking her, but... I just can't. She's annoying. Obnoxious. Also manic-depressive and reminds me of a former client who snapped and went at me with a knife.
ReplyDeleteBut if you like her? Then hey, I'm happy for you. I'm not going to tell others who to like and not like. Just because I feel this way doesn't mean others should. (I admit to being a little disappointed that Applejack gets so little love, but, again, I can't force people to like who I like. Different strokes for different folks.)
@AQNichols Because Rarity is a whiny bitch.
ReplyDelete>Did you know Cereal absolutely hates her? I don't understand it! Pinkie Pie is awesome!
ReplyDeleteCereal hates the best pony? He has some explaining to do then
@11:29 anonymous:
ReplyDelete"whiny"..silly anonymous that's not how you spell "sexy"
Once I got to know Pinkie's character, I knew some people weren't going to be able to "get her" (@Dave Mustang, the cynical Brony @Cerina). If you don't pay good enough attention, you'll just see her as the generic "lol so randumb XD" character. But because she does everything so deadpan, it pushes her beyond that stereotype into genuine hilarious insanity.
ReplyDeleteWhat credentials are required to apply to become one of these "blog minions"?
ReplyDeleteWhy would someone had to "get" the character to like him/her?. I could like Pinkie for just being plain random but I don't.
ReplyDeleteI must clarify that I don't hate Pinkie. I like her at some level but not as much the other cast.
Not like Pinkie? *faints*
ReplyDeleteI-I-I can't get to the Dragonshy page ;-; I need more ponies to color D:
ReplyDeletewait never mind, I found it.
ReplyDeletePink pony is the best pony
ReplyDelete@Ink
ReplyDeleteDude. Deep breaths. It'll be okay. Relax.
A new minion, you say? I'd be game for that!
ReplyDeleteAlso, Cereal, you make me sad!
Pinkie Pie is the rating of how brony you are.
ReplyDeleteAt first, there is this annoying pink blur that never shuts up and keeps the show from being as awesome as it could potentially be.
Next, Pinkie Pie ends up making you laugh now and then, facehoof even more, but it's tolerable.
After that stage, you start to like Pinkie. She's adorable and endearing, and genuinely entertaining. Best of all, she adds just enough chaos to make life interesting!
The final stage is that you absolutely adore Pinkie, and realize the show would never work without her SHO AWESHOME chaotic antics! /)^3^(\
Thus CLEARLY, I am therefore a more highly developed brony than Cereal possibly could be... But we still offer our friendship to the clearly still developing Cereal... We love you man!
Pinkie Pie is, without a doubt, the best pink pony with a baked dessert in her name.
ReplyDeleteAt least Cereal isn't obsessed with a shallow, tactless illusionist character...
ReplyDeleteluna is maked by a guy in antrim 0_0 i live 60 mins from there
ReplyDelete@Ink
ReplyDeleteBecause of this, man. Look around you. Look how many people are willing to fundamentally exclude us, even before anyone opened their mouth. The feeling that of course everyone likes Pinkie; if they don't they must not be sane or a true brony or something.
I don't think I've insulted any character (though some people have). I'm just not going to never be critical of a show I love and want to see better.
CEREAL HATES PINKIE?! FIRE HIM! FIRE HIM NOW!
ReplyDeleteAlso, for the record, I was kidding.
ReplyDelete@Fallin' Winter
ReplyDeleteI have a Yahoo friend that laughed when I showed him that clip too...
He still won't watch ponies though.
Reading this from a phone parents stopped me going on the computer... google docs works on phones yay!!
ReplyDeleteyea meeeeeeeeeeeeetaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalllllllllllll
ReplyDeleteUghhhhhhh I know I'm late but I absolutely have to put a reply here.
ReplyDeletePinkie breaking the 4th wall, being "faster than dash" and all that crap, IS what makes her great. It's called being a cartoon. It's called the best thing about Western animation compared to, say, anime, and why I've always been a bigger fan of it.
It's called taking a medium such as animation in which you can literally do anything your mind conjures up and use that to create something that's absolutely out-of-this-world, crazy, fun, and just extremely interesting to watch. Obviously a lot of kids these days have been spoiled by "realistic anime!!!" and the surge of more realistic Western animation to try and combat that anime, and they suddenly want all this needless realism and BOOOOOOORING stuff like that jammed into cartoons, where it shouldn't even be. Every character in FiM is a good cartoon character and the animation, charming character design and whatnot makes it so none of it feels 'too realistic' or 'boring', but Pinkie is far and away the greatest character for representing and carrying on all the "unrealisticness", "4th wall destruction", "rubbery animation" etc that I want to see more than ANYTHING else.
I hope, DIRELY, that there's far more of it in season 2, and that the folks working on the show don't succumb to trying harder to appeal to anime kiddies and the like that don't understand why they should appreciate Pinkie Pie.
And for the record, Fall Weather Friends is the WORST Pinkie episode. She was horribly written and unfunny completely.
