What if one or more Muppets were or decided to become Bronies?

Imagine Telly Monster, or Ernie and Bert attending a Brony convention.

What would you think of Kermit The Frog and Miss Piggy at a Brony convention?

See if you can think of any other examples.

Remember in "Bats!" how the mane 6 have to sacrifice the Apple family’s big apple to save Fluttershy?

Well, we never see what happens when Granny Smith and company come home to see their contest entry compromised.

So picture this: after the events of “Bats!”, Granny Smith and company come home and find that Applejack cut their big apple they were entering in the contest.

What do you think happens next? How do you think Granny Smith reacts to the big apple being cut and compromised?

You forgot the episode of Ed Edd n Eddy where Ed was sleep walking and eating everyone's food.

Also it be a pretty interesting concept that would lead to some funny moments. Also I could picture Pinkie Pie sleep walking because I feel it would be the most fitting for her and lead to the funniest moments.

I didn;t forget about that episode of "Ed Edd n Eddy", I never heard of it until you just told me about it.

Well Rainbow Dash can do sonic rainbooms in her sleep. 

And I'd bet it would wake her and everypony else up.

Sleepwalking is a very unique and effective device used on television. What makes watching someone sleepwalk funny is seeing them do so many silly things and knowing that they have no idea what they are doing (that’s how it is most of the time).

-It made Mr. Bighead a pirate : http://my.ohio.voyager.net/~otown/RMLtoasterseq.gif

-It made Norbert Beaver a Viking Woman from Venus : http://youtu.be/BwX0ZbVkPZU?t=6m30s

-It made Stu Pickles host a cooking show and dance with his living room lamp : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MDBw7KQ0A4w

Now, what do you think could happen in an episode of MLP:FiM if a Pony walked in his/her sleep, flew in his/her sleep, and/or did magic in his/her sleep?

Can you think of anything else a Pony might do in his/her sleep; such as Cooking, Cleaning, Building or Racing?

Who here remembers watching Sharon, Lois and Bram on “The Elephant Show”? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GHdsENIqf0Y

I certainly do; it was one of my favorite shows to watch on Television when I was a toddler. Even to this day, I consider Sharon, Lois and Bram one of the greatest trios ever.

Some of you might also remember watching Sharon, Lois and Bram on “Skinnamarink TV”.

What would you think of OCs based on Sharon, Lois and Bram (or perhaps Sharon, Lois and/or Bram voicing aone or more Ponies on the show)?

Feel free to share any other thoughts and/or memories you have on Sharon, Lois and Bram.

And dig this:

Not only has CN become 'an "adult swim" made for children'; but looks who'se trying their methods of madness:

Not quite, I mean c'mon, what's with Adventure Time, Gumball and Regular Show, I was told by a friend of mine, that the creators of both Adventure Time and Regular Show were on drugs when they came up with it. Then you have all those live-action shows now, so you can hardly call it 'cartoon' network these days, what ever happened to good shows like Dexter's Lab, CN:KND, PowerPuff Girls, etc..?

Just as long as it wasn't Cartoon Network.

 

Knowing them, they'd just cancel it in mid-Season-1 or so, and replace it with an inferior version that sacrificed interesting characters for s****y humor that only toddlers and middle-aged retards could possibly like...

To me, Cartoon Network has become, what I call, 'an "adult swim" made for children'. You can tell in the way the channel is branded (it reminds me of something you would have seen on G4 or the real "Adult Swim"), and the elements of the shows (such as what they call "transitional profanity").

I actually saw the Adventure Time pilot (aired on Random Cartoons) and found it much much better than what came out of Cartoon Network (which I stay away from). I can tell that Adventure Time would have been more enjoyable (and not ridden with "Adult Swim" elements) had Nickelodeon picked it up when they had the chance.

As an example, the destruction of Sponge Bob.

I can understand that as well; Spongebob should have ended a long time ago, but Nickelodeon is over-milking Spongebob and getting results that at least not everyone can enjoy (and what Nickelodeon is turning to today isn't going to help them get off Spongebob).

I would not want Nickelodeon handling a show that I love, let's be honest Nick's situation currently when it comes to their shows are really declining badly and it's really sad.

That's fine then, I won't have a problem with it.

I still agree with you though. Nickelodeon has really gone downhill under the rule of today's Viacom (which I can tell is causing Nickelodoen to focus too much on pleasing the target audience, instead of just letting Nick be Nick) and really needs better management (a group of people should form a Co-Op and buy Nickelodeon from Viacom). I myself have a couple of ideas.

I realize that this is unlikely to ever happen and probably never will; but, how would you react to “My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic” being syndicated to Nickelodeon (in the US)? Perhaps MLP Generation 1?

To some, this could be weird; others, it could be interesting. Still, others would rather see it stay with “The Hub Network” as it’s one of the shows that make The Hub Network a better place on Television than most other places considered more “mainstream”.

Personally, I’d rather see the show (at least season 1) syndicated to local TV stations to help fill their broadcast requirements for E/I programming (they can use the E/I season 1 episodes; and it’s not too late for the rest of the episodes to become E/I accredited).

What purpose would it serve?

Was there a specific purpose for the short breastfeeding scene in the Rugrats (mainly why it included Breastfeeding instead of anything else)?

They're magical ponies they don't need to be breastfed.

I don't think that's what Lauren Faust would have wanted.

I'm certain many of you remember this scene from Spongebob:

http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-prn1/73110_597993950230432_119121250_n.png

"And since when did I aquire all these portraits of Patrick?"

Now, how about you artists alter this scene in which Patrick is replaced with Pinkie Pie and is captioned "And since when did I acquire all these portraits of Pinkie?".

This should be a Fun project. I look forward to seeing what you all create.

Well, I WOULD've been okay with the idea of breast feeding, but then everyone had to point out that these are equines and not humans. I agree that it would just look awkward given horse biology.

What about Meerkats, and all those times we saw them nurse on Meerkat Manor?

Ponies have udders, not breasts, so what would be the point? In any case, breastfeeding advocates seem to want to paint breastfeeding as OMG SPESHUL WONDERFUL UNIQUE when in actual fact, it's normal. Every single mammal does it without all this publicity.

 

Here is a mare feeding her foal. Do you really want this on MLP?

 

Well, we'd adjust it a little. What I picture is keeping where the foals suckle close to the same place; but have the mare in a different position, such as laying down like a how a dog does it (seen on Pound Puppies).

Er, I personally am all for mother's breastfeeding. But...that would mean giving ponies boobs.

 

Do you see where this could be heading?

Um....I don't have a problem with a breastfeeding scene, but why would it be in MLP in the first place? Ponies don't have breasts so it would just be nursing on a teat, like what they would usually do with their young.

Do any of you know how horses nurse their young?

http://www.merckmanuals.com/media/pet/figures/HRS_horse_nursing.gif

I don't think Lauren Faust would want to give them human breasts.

Here’s a breastfeeding scene from Sesame Street: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7-L-Fg7lWgQ

Here’s another breastfeeding scene from Rugrats: http://youtu.be/Kq0ZbaJs_l0?t=5m58s

Now, picture a breastfeeding scene in an episode of MLP:FiM (perhaps Mrs. Cake breastfeeding Pound Cake and/or Pumpkin Cake).

Would you find that ok or ‘not ok’?

I’d personally be a-ok with it.

I'd guess the Ponies are the same size as real ponies, and it would thus probably be better to ride the Pony (by having it pull a cart) instead of giving it a ride (unless you use a pickup truck).

It'd be a different story if the Ponies were this size: http://i.imgur.com/Iq0SKea.jpg

-Then, I'd be able to pet them like Discord pet Fluttershy.

There are also some Miniature Horrses that are small enough to hold as babies:

I don't really care for Microsoft's Gaming system; but Microsoft is not open and creative the company they used to be (especially to the computer hobbiest)?

I want to have it all the smartest people do

I can well understand that.

The best way to find out is to have a Psychologist test you. Even if you do, don’t worry; having Aspergers is nothing to be ashamed about, and I should know.

It’s in the news: Weird Al Yankovic is to voice a new Stalion in an upcoming episode.

So, what is your favorite song that is performed by Weird Al Yankovic?

Mine is none other than “The Saga Begins”:

"Stay 'Pony' My Friends."

One particular thing that sometimes concerns me is what people seem to identify as familiar sights and sounds of going online.

As I’m certain many of you will recall, back when many of us were first going online in the mid 90’s (which might I add was also when many online services began offering access to the Internet), what people identified as familiar sights and sounds included the unforgettable “You’ve Got Mail!”, “AOL Movie-Phone” or “AOL Keyword Nick”. Aside from that, what constituted of the “general” things you would online seemed a lot wider and not as much focused toward a single demographic; much of the stuff we’d do or explore online was playing games on Nick.com, seeing what candy you could order off CaliforniaCandy.com, hanging out at places such as pbs.org or mamamedia.org (I still remember the commercial), clicking onto yahooligans.com while at school, and heading onto Noggin.com to see Phred (from the Phred On Your Head Show) and do lots of other cool things, all while you asked your parents to call your cable or satellite company to try and convince them to put Noggin on their channel lineup (this was before “Feetface” and “Moose A. Moose”).

Now don’t get me wrong; I’m certain even back than the Internet did have some adult/icky places and sights and sounds that weren’t for everyone (I remember when I tried to search for images for my school projects while at school, and the filter system kept blocking the image search engines with “Pornography” as the listed reason; that’s actually how I first learned that word); but at least as far as I’m concerned, those things wouldn’t generally come to the average user’s mind immediately when thinking about using the Internet. But then, after Bush was sworn in and the Twin Towers fell, everything began to change. Eventually, the sights and sounds that people would identify as going online would become more centered on more adult/icky places and activities; and with that eventually came familiar yet icky and/or ridiculous “Internet Memes” that even today people still identify as familiar sights and sounds of going online. I won’t go too much deeper into this; not just because I don’t want this getting too complex, but also because I have difficulty describing my thoughts and feelings (particularly if I have a unique view or sense on something).

On a side note, more recently though, while a significant number of these “Internet Memes” and other sights and sounds that people identify as part of going online appear to still holding up (and even giving inspiration for things such as Cartoon Network and the stereotypical “The 90’s are All That”), the ways people are generally using the Internet are changing once more. Take for example The Occupy Movement, and sites like Change.org, Moveon.org (though this site has existed for years), Kcikstarter.com, etc. Today, a familiar trait of using the Internet among the general public is using it to embrace collective wellbeing, push for change for the better we can all share and work together make the world a better place. And speaking of collective wellbeing, another familiar trait that going online holds today is of course MLP:FiM and the proliferation its important messages of friendship and collective wellbeing though interconnection, art and music (like “Snowdrop” and “Children of the Night”), all while having fun everyone (not just the “adult” demographic, at least most of the time) can relate to and be nurtured by in  appositive way.

Anyway, now for this thread’s subject: Of all the “Internet Meme’s” you’ve seen that these days are also considered a familiar sight and sound of going online, what would you consider the most icky and/or most ridiculous (even if you do happen to enjoy them, which I do have all respect for)? Among these 5 listed “Internet Memes”, feel free to vote on which you feel is the most icky and/or most ridiculous:

-Rage Comics:

Personally, whenever I see an image of a familiar character like SpongeBob or a Pony whose face was replaced that of what they call the “Troll Face”, I don’t laugh, I instead get a bad feeling inside me which sort of gives you the urge to make like this (http://images1.fanpop.com/images/image_uploads/Mike-s-New-Car-pixar-1024771_768_576.jpg). If I were a child, I’d be scared of these faces and would want to avoid seeing them.

-Rickrolling:

There’s nothing really icky about this. The joke generally seems harmless, and the whole music video itself is very interesting; but why do people use the same video instead of something different?

-Nyan Cat:

Nothing icky about this one either (at least, the original GIF and video). Just can’t see what makes Gen Y and others go crazy over this. Even though it’s not icky, because it is an “Internet Meme”, it doesn’t feel like something “school appropriate”; it’s hard to explain.

-The Duck Song (video):

What made people go crazy over the well known video adaption of the song in the first place (so much that a children’s book was made from it)? The song is ok, but the illustrations are a teeny-weeny bit icky (but not repulsive). There are other, much better video adaptions of this song; and Songdrops has a lot of other songs that everyone can enjoy.

-Taking images and writing something sensitive in that familiar font such as this (http://legacy-cdn.smosh.com/smosh-pit/062011/thornberry-smashing.jpg):

It’s bad enough that people are encouraged to take innocent images and write icky interpretations on them (something I think Fred Rogers would be concerned about); but why do they use the same font?

You know, the Ponies have already taught all of us (not just children) about friendship; I’m certain many of you agree that they can help teach children many other things as well, on Sesame Street.

I’m certain everybody here has watched Sesame Street, and perhaps you might remember all the celebrity’s that have appeared on Sesame Street. For example:

Pee Wee Herman appears in “Put Down the Duckie”: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMAixgo_zJ4

The Simpsons Appeared in “Monster in the Mirror”: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PM6ya7wTb58

Here’s The Pink Panther on Sesame Street: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NTNdsIzEii0

Here’s Shari Lewis and Lamb Chop on Sesame Street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n6JKinrhrfc

Finally (I’m certain you get the point by now), here’s Luxo Jr. on Sesame Street: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e9ajy13-v9c

Anyway, I think that the Ponies on Sesame Street would be a wonder thing to behold.    I’ve already thought of a segment in which Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle demonstrate the letter ‘D’.    Also, perhaps one or more of the Ponies might cover a Sesame Street song (such as “I don’t want to live on the Moon”).

Perhaps you can think of more Pony appearances on Sesame Street. Also, feel free to share any other thoughts you might have on Ponies on Sesame Street.

Does anyone remember the story/poem "The Owl and The Pussycat"?

Well, imagine an episode where Twilight's owl falls in love with Rarity's cat.

Feel free to share your thoughts on such an episode. Do you think Spike would try to take advantage of the pets' romance for his own crush in Rarity? Perhaps that could make the story's lesson.
