I wanted my brother to jump from a great height into the water and promised him that I would watch a couple of episodes of my little pony, because he knew that such animated series frankly pissed me off. After months of denying it I watched the first couple episodes while my brother laughed at my reaction. Later, I just wanted to know what all the action was about the cartoon and the fandom. Before that, the only thing I knew was that there was some purple dude (Spike) and a Mexican kid with a toaster and I didn't even think about the other stuff.
