Kodiak 431 November 8, 2011 Share November 8, 2011 (edited) When asked "Why ponies," how do you typically respond in real life? Personally, I just tell them what I get from of the show (happiness, inspiration, better relationships, etc.) and maybe go into some detail on the show itself. What's your response to that question?

Lady Rarity Pony 4,892 November 8, 2011 Share November 8, 2011 I would tell them that the animation is well done, the voice acting is brilliant and the character's are bright and filled with joy.

Captain Marvelous 544 November 8, 2011 Share November 8, 2011 Well mostly me... I always say something like. "The truth is people like what they like, its like opinions and kidney stones... everyone has them and they all pass eventually. or however that line goes." and for whatever reason, it shuts people up. okay ponies, give me all your treasure.

Sageflare 277 November 8, 2011 Share November 8, 2011 I would be like "Well, I love it because it is a very nice show. I think I watch it because it is different from what I watch. I also like how the animation and the acting is super good." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nico 790 November 8, 2011 Share November 8, 2011 Well, I tell them exactly why I like ponies, which can take a long time sometimes. Generally, I cut to the chase and tell them about my favorite aspect, though: The animation. It's just so superb! It's smooth and fluid, and the attention to detail is amazing. I'm especially a fan of how much care is put into animating everypony's hair. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kodiak 431 November 8, 2011 Author Share November 8, 2011 I'm especially a fan of how much care is put into animating everypony's hair. You know, I'm actually starting to notice that even in the earlier season one episodes. Even when all the ponies are standing still and talking to each other, their bodies and manes still move and bounce to what they're saying.

Scootaloo1 106 November 8, 2011 Share November 8, 2011 To describe the show, one must have eaten a high amount of sugar in order to balance out the happy and fun that the show provides for everyone! ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- You got a problem with blank flanks?

Sheogorath 1,155 November 8, 2011 Share November 8, 2011 I have not yet been questioned. Then again people who know me know that I do not do things without good reasoning behind it so they likely try to avoid a five hour lecture to "why". 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whimsy 10 November 8, 2011 Share November 8, 2011 I agree with everyone on this post! The animation is awesome, the voice acting is amazing, and the colors are quite fabulous! I also like the fact that it covers material people can relate to while staying lighthearted and fun! Plus, it's magical! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Apple Bloom 2,933 November 8, 2011 Share November 8, 2011 For some reason I've never been able to give a good explanation of why I like the show on the spot, but now that I think about it, I would probably tell them how good the animation is, voice acting, characters, plot, and how creative and talented the fandom is.

Discordian 6,015 November 8, 2011 Share November 8, 2011 Whether people ask me "why" or laugh and insult me because I like ponies I always give them this: The animations are really ****ing beautiful, for one thing, and the voice acting is spot-on. The songs are also great, especially if you like when shows or movies randomly break out into song. Another great thing is the comedy, it's not like the comedy of shows like Flapjack that rely on the grime and gruesome imagery to get you to laugh, it's pure comedy and it reminds me so much of oldschool Looney Tunes comedy in a lot of ways, both from physics and smart-alecky comments. The show also gives me a really warm feeling when watching it because of the fantastic bonds you can feel between the friends of the show. Oh and the facial details are amazing, they are half of what makes the series so likeable because you can just feel the emotions they are trying to convey because of all the facial expressions as well as the body language given. They certainly don't make it a secret that it's fluffy at times and yet they still keep the humor more generalized rather than just focusing on little girls. It also doesn't do what a lot of shows these days do and focus on social stereotypes and norms, they let everyone in the show be who they are with no regard for social "norms" Pinkie Pie and Twilight Sparkle going insane? Try to tell me that's something a little girl's show would normally do. How about dropping an anvil on Twilight's head or having Applejack smash into the ground because she's so damn tired she can't jump onto a catapult properly? Even Rarity who lives in the stereotype of the "it-girl" or "material girl" breaks out of the stereotype frequently. They all have emotions, they all have varying personalities that they constantly break out of for one reason or another and they all have individual lives that aren't cheaply connected. ...More or less, I don't say all of that at one time but whenever I explain it I explain it a bit differently. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkie Prectar 43 November 8, 2011 Share November 8, 2011 I've never been asked this far. But I've made a photoalbum on Facebook with all my pony pictures(memes and such) so people can see how awesome the fanbase are, and maybe they'll take a peek at the show itself. But should I be asked the question. I think I'll say "It's just 20% cooler than any other show, and Fluttershy will make you DAWW in 10 seconds flat. Also Pinkie Pie is freaking awesome!"

Zoop 8,384 November 8, 2011 Share November 8, 2011 To quote myself, "Because it's a good show." 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy 5,563 November 8, 2011 Share November 8, 2011 I've gotten this question more than once in a couple of different ways. The majority of the time, I pretty much say what Zoop said, and elaborated if need be. Once or twice that didn't suffice, and I was told how dumb it was to like candy colored ponies and asked again how I could like something so girly. At which point, my argument degenerated to this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAl3iQupaFU GET IN THE PIT On 8/23/2012 at 1:54 AM, Djenty said: ON MLP 4UMS ERRYTHIN IS SRS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colon Leftbracket 971 November 13, 2011 Share November 13, 2011 Well I say the animation, but now that I think of it it reminds me of my childhood (I was raised primarily by women) I'm actually writing a review to explain this whole pony situation to friends/family/etc. [New siggy in progress!] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cookie 28 November 13, 2011 Share November 13, 2011 I haven't been asked yet...And I dont' see anyone asking me either. Everyone knows I am a bit childish in my tastes to begin with. I'm an avid Disney movie collector, I love pink and I wear novelty t-shirts with cartoon characters and whatnot on them. Liking My Little Pony is not so far fetched for me. I would probably tell them that the characters are so unique and fun and It's light hearted and makes me smile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Rarity Pony 4,892 November 15, 2011 Share November 15, 2011 Well if Im describing it to someone who is truly interested I will give them a long description of every aspect of the show but if Im being interrogated I would just talk about Lauren Faust and how I love her work (which I really do) LRP's opinions are subject to change without notice.

83awsm 234 December 17, 2011 Share December 17, 2011 Its an entertaining show with amazing animation and a great storyline. Its nostalgic references to relevant content for my age group and simple way of portraying a positive outlook got me hookd xD Awesomeness = at least 20% Cooler.

Demi 545 December 17, 2011 Share December 17, 2011 Eh, usually mentioning something about Power Puff Girls/Foster's Home is enough. But otherwise it's just a fun show to watch, and everybody's gotta have one cartoon series. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finesthour 7,287 December 19, 2011 Share December 19, 2011 I describe the show as the most magical thing on earth. If they ask why I love ponies, I will say I don't know. They need to watch it their selves to figure it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
