Next Poll: Which Background Pony Do You Want To See With a Custom Scene+Dialogue Lines?
Note before you email me: This is only for BG ponies without lines (minus Derpy's muuuuuuuufins). Characters like Bonbon and Doctor Whooves already have scenes.

I think we already know who won. I'm still siding with Fancy Pants this time around. The most interesting pony in the world clearly deserved this victory. Who else could attract a perfect ten like Fleur? Not Big Mac, that's for sure!

make a best female pony poll
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't call Fleur a perfect ten. Hell, Pinkie, Fluttershy, Twilight, Rarity, Rainbow Dash, and Applejack are so far ahead of her that they leave her in the dust.
ReplyDeleteShe's a stereotype of the sort of woman I can't stand; materialistic, gold digger, etc... Forget that. :)
+1 sandoval
ReplyDelete>implying Big Macintosh isn't alpha as buck.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Fancy Pants too!
ReplyDeleteFleur is way past a ten.
ReplyDeleteDr Whooves should of been on this.
ReplyDeleteBig Mac definetly deserved to win this one :P
ReplyDeleteBig Mac definetly deserved to win this one :P
ReplyDeleteI wish that soarin was up further. I also wish that he was in the newest episode when the (SPOILER ALERT) wonderbolts came in to stop spike. I probably didn't need to put in the alert, cause pretty much everyone who goes to this site sees the episode one the channel or on xyro's YouTube page.
ReplyDeleteFancy Pants all the way!
ReplyDeleteI think that background/other ponies included doctor whooves.
ReplyDelete@zorinlynx
ReplyDeleteDude, she appeared for all of eleven seconds and all she did was make silly poses. We know NOTHING about her.
Big Mac needs no gold-digging whorse like Fleur. Wish Soarin had done better, though.
ReplyDeletethat's right! bic mac get eleven's AKA the entire mane cast
ReplyDeleteBig Mac vs Fancypants is basically Old Spice Guy vs Most Interesting Man in the World.
ReplyDeleteMeh, I voted for Braeburn. Big Mac and Fancy Pants are great and all, don't get me wrong, it's just Braeburn's got that sort of charm that I would definitely find myself attracted to if I had an X/X chromosome. It's good to see him in the top five.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Fancy Pants all the way. I want to see more of him, he's awesome!
ReplyDeleteIf they show him again, he should have a pet bear, you know, like Teddy Roosevelt.
next poll should be
ReplyDelete-Best type of fan fiction
-best episode of season 2 (again)
-best female pony
-best fan named pony
(also i voted caramel, cuz hes cute... no homo)
Psh, Big Mac had girls flock to him in Lesson Zero
ReplyDeleteI don't always vote for male ponies. But when I do, it's for Fancy Pants.
ReplyDeleteI'm astonished Hoity Toity didn't place higher. He has cool sunglasses, is cool enough to wear them at night, and is overall just an utter badass.
ReplyDeleteI would at ;east expect him to place higher than freaking Snips.
Douglas Fairbanks is Best Male Pony.
ReplyDeleteEven though Fancy Pants was awesome (def want to see more of him soon) it's Big Mac all the way ;)
ReplyDeleteI honestly had trouble choosing between Big Mac and Fancy Pants. Had to go with Big Mac, though. He did deserve it!
ReplyDeleteSorry Seth, but Big Mac has more wisdom in one word than Fancy Pants has in a million.
ReplyDeleteDid Big Mac deserve to win? Eeyup!
I sort of wanted Fancypants and Big Mac to draw.
ReplyDeleteVoted other for Pipsqueak, who was notably missing from the options.
ReplyDeleteAlright who else voted for Big Mac AND Fancy Pants?
ReplyDeletei voted soarin because we have so much in common.
ReplyDeleteapple pie is yummy :D
I voted for Fancy Pants as well.
ReplyDeleteFancy Pants because hes a true gentlecolt.
ReplyDeleteCarrot Top had her scene in Boast Busters, when Raritys hairs went greent (and carrot tops hairs too ;)
ReplyDeleteJust a theory, but I'm guessing since Big Mac's had more exposure, that's sort of why he won. I sided with Fancy Pants since he was so accepting of Rarity and the gang as they were. Yes, it was just one episode, but I'd say that spoke volumes of him. Just my interpretation. Can't wait for the next poll.
ReplyDeleteScratch the last part of my comment. I see the new poll's come up.
ReplyDeleteHeheh. I voted for Hoity Toity myself as he would fit in perfectly with the judging panels on my favorite programs (Project Runway and America's Next Top Model, etc.), but I didn't actually expect him to win... ah well. And now I am again reminded of just how badly I want to see a ponified version of Austin Scarlett in some future, likely Rarity-centric episode. Squeeeeee~~
ReplyDeleteCan there be an option for "none" on the new poll, since I would rather the focus of the show not be taken away from the mane 6?
ReplyDeleteDerpys obviously going to win lol
ReplyDeleteCarrot Top has had scenes where she was in the foreground (in Luna Eclipsed) and has spoken at least once ("Well, I never!").
ReplyDeleteScratch and Octavia can combine to beat her, which considering they're such a popular pair might count as them winning instead of her.
ReplyDeleteI voted for Fancy Pants as he seems to be the embodiment of Twilight Sparkle's element of harmony in the same way that Fluttershy seems to be the embodiment of her own element of kindness.
ReplyDeleteFancy Pants should have won. Seems like a fine chap with a tasteful monocle.
ReplyDeleteDarnit Big Mac and you're popularity. I voted for Fancypants myself. He's such a nice guy. As for Fleur being a gold digger, etc. We don't know that fore sure. Like someone else mentioned, we honestly know hardly anything about her canon-wise. I find it funny just because she's beautiful and a bit of a strutter, she's automatically a gold digger. lol Got some jealousy up in here perhaps.
ReplyDeleteAS for the new poll... eh, well, you'd think you would know who I'd vote for. But I've got some reservations about somethings I won't go into detail about.
derpy for new poll
ReplyDeleteIf I'm not mistaken, Carrot Top had at least 2 lines already("We couldn't fit it all in" - Swarm of the Century, "Well, I never" - Boast Busters as some have already mentioned).
ReplyDeleteNothing against her. I like Carrot Top and I'd love to see more of her, but I'm just saying she already had lines.
Make sure PON-3 is on the poll.
ReplyDeleteI love scratch and I REALLY love carrot top, but derpy deserves her own scene.
ReplyDeleteI vote Vinyl Scratch.
ReplyDeleteI'm mad that you didn't include Pipsqueak in the last poll.
ReplyDeleteto be honest. i hope none of these scenes happen in the show. the thing that makes the fan characters so special is that studio b stays away from them by not making them a major part of the show. had they written a scene for derpy or lyra, the magic of the characters would sort of be lost. what makes them fan characters is how the FANS interpret the personalities.
ReplyDeletekeep in mind that i'm not criticizing studio b for including the derpy cameos. they are a admirable tip of the hat to the fans that is executed in a professional manner. but the reason her inclusions to the show stay special is that the writers leave room for fan speculation. THAT is what maintains derpy hooves a fan character. including her as a scripted character runs the major risk of disappointment.
a fandom isn't a fandom if fans are the writers of the show.
You know what the next survey should be? Whose job of the mane 6 would you want: Pastry Chef, Librarian, Veterinarian/zookeeper(?), Farmhand, Weatherman, or Dress Maker.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Carrot Top speak in Swarm of the Century and Boast Busters
ReplyDeleteSO MEAN. How can I possibly choose between Lyra, Octavia, Scratch, and Derpy? You're a terrible person Seth.
ReplyDeletedamn it seth
ReplyDeletey u make me choose between Ditzy doo or Scratch?
ugh
stil I CHOOSE DERPY
It could as well be 'how many files are in your pony folder'.
ReplyDeleteI voted Snips just because I expected him to come in dead last (though I do actually like the little guy). Guess I was wrong!
ReplyDeleteOther was the next best thing to none of the above. Dialog from any of them would kill the mystique.
ReplyDelete@Sourcils
ReplyDeleteDon't forget Swarm of the Century.
"We couldn't fit it all in."
Fancy Pants is awesome, even his name is awesome X)
ReplyDeleteGod damn, vinyl or Octavia, =/
Carrot Top has some dialogues along the series, just sayin'
ReplyDelete"We couldn't fit it all in" <
@Michael Butcher
ReplyDeleteYa was gonna say...why have one perfect 10 when you can have Cheerliee, Lyra, BonBon, and moar.
Mac is a mac.
Everyone knows unicorns have no real swagger.
I voted Snails.
ReplyDeleteWhat! You wanna fight about!
Tch, no fair. Fancy Pants hasn't been around for as long so of course he didn't top Big Mac (though Big Mac is awesome too).
ReplyDeleteCarrot top already had lines, both with orange hair and green hair.
ReplyDeleteI voted other, by which I mean I don't want any of the BG listed ponies to get lines.
This show will always be about and revolve around the main 6, we fell in love with this show not because of the BG stuff, but because they got the important stuff right.
They're not gonna change the show and suddenly make BG ponies really important, making them part of the plot or anything. That would be changing the show, and if it ain't broke, don't fix it. We loved the show before the makers knew of bronies, and I don't want them to change it.
So these BG ponies are never gonna get any decent lines or important dialogue. All they will get is more of what Bon Bon got, mismatched voice acting and no consistent characterisation. Which is exactly what you would expect for a BG character, as they can't hire the same actor/actress every time and build continuity with such an unimportant (relative to the mane 6) character. If they started giving BG ponies lines then the makers would receive plenty of unfounded criticism about how they didn't do the BG pony justice and what not, but you can't blame them for not having the time and energy to do so, as this show is about the mane 6, not about Derpy/Lyra/Octavia/Scratch/etc.
I don't want Derpy to get a throw away line, I like the way Derpy can be an effective present from the makers to the bronies. Doing where's Waldo with Derpy is something bronies appreciate, and I think that is exactly where they should leave her.
I also don't want Octavia/Scratch to get lines for a similar reason. Throw away lines would give practically no character development for these BG ponies, essentially accomplishing nothing. We've built up plenty of fan stuff around them, quite a bit of it shipping, which would never end up in the show. I think Octavia/Scratch are perfect examples of characters who are almost 100% fan made, and should stay that way. The show can't devote enough screen time to them to give any serious character development, so it should focus on what we already love it for, the mane 6. I like Octavia and Scratch being put in the type of scenes they get now, doing their jobs, Octavia playing her instrument and Scratch doing DJ work.
Today's episode had Lyra and Bon Bon in the BG, talking and being interrupted by Derpy. I think that is about right for what these BG ponies should get. I don't want them to do a half hearted attempt at more, the show isn't about them, and shouldn't try to be.
Carrot Top, oh my! I'd love if they'd grab her for two to three joint episodes and make a story including her. She always reminds me of an innkeeper and as such, she should once be the wheel propelling the act forward.
ReplyDeleteLet's make an example without any real content, just the barebones. She could make a deal of some sort with Applejack. That leads to them embarking on a journey - which comes to a halt due to grave trouble. Then all they need to do is play each character's cards fine, maybe seperate them from time to time; get them into conflicts, make them solve conflicts; let them be themselves - and allow Carrot Top's plot line to merge with the temporary problem of the mane 6.
Why are so few people voting for Lyra in the new poll?
ReplyDeleteThis makes me sad =(
if you voted for snips or snails I will hunt you down and love and tolerate you until you get some better taste
ReplyDeleteDerpy 4sho.
ReplyDeleteSoarin.... Nice job on 3rd place! :DDD
ReplyDeleteSoarin.... Nice job on 3rd place! :DDD
ReplyDeleteWait, why is "Nopony should get lines" not an option for the new poll? The reason we like them so much is because of the fanon that has emerged. Why ruin it?
ReplyDeleteOctavia, without question.
ReplyDelete@Diomedes said: "Can there be an option for "none" on the new poll, since I would rather the focus of the show not be taken away from the mane 6?"
ReplyDeleteDid Bon Bon's and The Doctor's lines distract the focus of the show from the mane six?
Vinyl Scratch! Vinyl Scratch! I'm dying for a Scratch episode!
ReplyDeleteNext poll should be whats the best episode of season 2 so far... now that we have 10 episode to choose...It will be a more interesting poll.
ReplyDeleteWithout even seeing the results, I feel I can safely say that you should've omitted Derpy (or Ditzy, as I prefer to call her). It would have made things more interesting.
ReplyDeleteSo I'm gonna vote for somepony else.
@Drüd
ReplyDeleteLyra weeps at the lack of love. :(
Silly poll, Derpy is Best Mail Pony.
ReplyDeleteYou know what? I'm not gonna vote for myself. I think I'll give you this one @Octavia I wanna hear a cello solo ;D Oh, haha thanks @Shine
ReplyDeleteI cast my vote for Octavia for 2 reasons.
ReplyDelete1) I think that removing Ditzy from the "moment of total hilarity/WTFery" we've all grown to love her being in, even just for a scene, would kinda spoil everything special about her. Especially if she had dialogue. (And especially if BaldDumboRat wasn't the one delivering said dialogue. I don't care if it's official or not, she's Ditzy's voice to me, plain and simple.)
2) As much as I like Ditzy, Octavia's simply my favorite background pony. Can't put my finger on why, she just...is.
Not surprised Derpy's in the lead anyway. Besides, she wasn't the one who said muffins anyway. It was Colgate.
ReplyDeleteI think that the Mane Six need to go see Vinyl Scratch in concert. Make it happen, MLP writing staff!
ReplyDeleteI picked Octavia, but I love BonBon..
ReplyDelete@zorinlynx
ReplyDeleteMaybe not in personality, but in looks? AW YEAH.
@Dr. Orbital Death-Ray
ReplyDeleteEven though he isn't a pony, I really can't argue with you on that.
@Sgt Byrd
I pretty much agree with you, especially with your last paragraph. Even so, after careful consideration of what the poll question was asking, I ended up voting for Derpy.
Why would I vote for Derpy when I don't want any definite characterizations for the background ponies? Partly because I fear that Derpy's drifting towards an in-show characterization, and it's not a flattering one. I'd love to see a short scene, preferably without dialog, that shows Derpy's not the village idiot. Klutzy, accident-prone, and a little featherbrained, yes, but not actually stupid. Such a scene would be tricky to pull off, and I don't expect it to happen, but in a perfect world I'd like to see it.
I may actually be in the minority here, but I think Derpy is a character that's meant to be silent (save the "muffin" that may or may not be her's alone). She's a master of the visual gag, right alongside the likes of Charlie Chaplin, Abbott & Costello and Harpo Marx.
ReplyDeleteIf the people at the show wanted to have her speak, I'd have faith they could make it work, but that's how I see Derpy as a character so far. I'd much rather see Vinyl get some speaking time.

As has been voiced by others already (family stuff kept me busy all day long), there are some ponies that could be ruined, at least for our fanish ways, by simply speaking. Then again, they did such an amazingly awesome job with Luna that I personally have no fears. But I can understand where others are coming from when they say that.
ReplyDeleteI'm voting for Lyra (making Phoe possibly happy), for the weird reason that while she's not my favorite of the bunch (possibly making Phoe unhappy), I think she the pony out of those listed who would benefit the most from having a 20 second long scene giving us a little bit of insight into her. That harp cutie mark, does she actually play an instrument? Does she instead sing a lot, like the blind bag toy info card says? Both? I think it would be cool to have her performing for some friends, in an innocent way that could still be construed as her serenading Bon Bon for all the shippers out there.
I voted for Carrot Top. But she actually got two speaking scenes in show (at least). So why she is on this list???
ReplyDeleteyeah, she's gotten "we couldn't fit it all in!" and "WELL, I NEVER!". what the jam, guys
ReplyDeleteWhat kind of contest is this? Fancy Pants is hands-down the best male pony.
