She broke the fourth wall and went straight into your brain..... mwahahahaha!

If you don't like the show, no big deal. No show is perfect for everypony. We won't consider you a hater

Good-o

If that's the case, then I'll still try those first 5, but PinkiePie might need to...disappear for awhile lol

Her voice is annoying at first, but she's such a silly and lovable character, I don't think she'll pose much of a problem

OH GOD i need help, User. I read the line (Pinkie Pie comes to mind) is her voice. IN HER VOICE.

You're not in worse condition than I am, that I assure you. Just yesterday, a friend of mine said something painfully obvious, so the mental "Well, DUH" was obligatory. Except it came out in her voice. And it wasn't the first time.

BAHAHA! Just finished watching  episode 16 and though I could already predicted the ending of it early on in the beginning of the episode I enjoyed it very much. The character's voices themselves didn't bother me and I found it fitted each of the characters well since they are all goofy and cute. plus all their expressions cracked me up! I was either smiling or chuckling for the entire episode. Though with that said I still can't get past the fact that I just watched a show about ponies so don't count me in as being a MLP fan anytime soon. Nevertheless I have a new understanding of why you all watch it and like many of you said its not for everyone, but  all you bronies now have the respect of Big Boss.  *Beats chest and bows before pony fans*

Boss, bro, don't let your silly "masculine" mind tell you that you are too manly. Accept you like it, and continue the path of ponies.

Good to know you enjoyed it. Don't worry, the whole "I just enjoyed a girl's cartoon about ponies" sensation washes off after a while, after all "real men wear pink right"? 

Just kiddin'. But now, the obligatory episode 16 parody(one of my favourites xD):

I'm the first pegasister in this thread! I feel special

Mane 6: Rarity
Princess: Mi Amore Cadenza!
CMC: Sweetie Belle (am I getting a bit predictable? )
Background: Sapphire Shores (I guess she's a background pony?)

Yay! I'm glad you enjoyed it. That was certainly one of my favorite episodes.

And Boss, like I said, watch more than one episode, it will make you crave more.....

[BenPass]

So my battery is about to die, but I started #16. I chuckled through the intro, and only got as far as the books falling, but after the theme song (admittedly not far) I stopped finding it funny. I'll check out the rest sometime with more battery though.

Nopes too much testosterone in my blood to make me watch more right now, but I may watch another episode when I need a good pick me up when life kicks me down.

The theme song grows on you, but I recommend watching all the way through (of course). Again, if you don't like it, no worries. You have earned my respect for being open minded enough to try it in the first place.

Huzzah! We have Boss' respect and we got lulz out of him! Brohooves all around!

OH MOST WONDERFUL OF... I mean.... Oh, most wonderful of nights.

[Darth Rifter]

This is the worst possible thing...wait, no its great.

[JdiKnhtJMH]

Honestly, when I first joined the herd, I skipped the theme song, I still do often. I didnt know who anyone in it was, and it just screams "GIIIIIRL!" in the worst way, so yeah, that is the major stumbling block to the show.

I watched a lot of videos online featuring content from it, and thats what made me need to see the series. I think the tipping point was Watchponies by Bronyvids

<a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1hETuP33r8" target="_blank" class="aeva_link bbc_link new_win">http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1hETuP33r8</a>

I just had to figure out how you could reenact the Watchmen trailer with footage from a girls cartoon. Turns out, theres some decent action and some of it feels pretty darned epic.

Then I finally got past the opening, and I really enjoyed it. I fluctuated on my best pony rating between Pinkie and Rainbow Dash and Luna a few times, and then when I realized I was trying to figure out who was best pony, I figured I liked the show. I think a big part of it is just having fun, and ignoring gender role stereotypes, that any guy who likes a cartoon not tailor made for guys has to be of questionable sexuality, and thats just not right. So I think some of the attraction is sort of rebellion against that.

Interesting to say the least.  Watched a few of the epis.  I'll be watching more with my daughter.  Always up for some more cartoons in my life that aren't trying to sell me things I don't need.  Also nice not to have to read subtitles to get some enjoyment.  Liked the butterfly wings on the one pony.  Was pretty cool as I like papillons. 

On to the person that commented about guys wearing pink:  I wore pink gloves and shoes for 2 fights to really throw a loop in my opponent's strategy during my time with Mixed Martial Arts.  Never bothered me one bit.  I just wished it had worked longer than 2 fights.  Might have stayed in. 

Find me some alternate art with one carrying a Dark Blue Lightsaber and I'll lend my support to you.

Oy, I go to sleep for one night and you start converting people? Seriously!?

Seriously, though, this thread has deepened my respect for this forum even more. It is the most courteous place on the Internet that I have seen (while I haven't seen many, I think I can tell the general tone of most chatrooms and the like) - and it uses the best grammar (also very important).
I am glad to see all of you here trying out something new and strange, taking only User and the rest of our words for it! Although it seems to me we are coming dangerously close to breaking the "no religion" rule

No, believe me on this one: that rule isn't going to be broken by me for ponies
