Mane 6 have just been shown in a Super Bowl cheer ad!

[Po-Nonimous 583]

I didn't see it on TV but I saw the commercial online just to see how they appeared. I wonder how the non-bronies will react?

 

Good question! I like it!

 

I expect they'll react the way most non-bronies do: first, they'll freak out, go, "WUT?!" then, probably blink a few times while it sinks in. Then, with shocked expressions they may look at each other and say, "Didja see dat?! Huh?! Didja?!" Then, they'll go back to drinking their beer and watching the rest of the commercials and the game.

 

More likely they won't even have noticed. LOL!

Wow pretty impressive (I wouldn't have seen it anyway as we don't get the "super bowl" over here), although if it did air over here (and if I cared about sports period) I would have probably screamed, thank god that didn't air on TV. Also I think I can now safely say to anyone who says that "my little pony memes and bronies are dying" that no it's still very relevant.

There are going to be so many haters and trolls that are going to be so pissed and just thinking about it is making me laugh my ass off.

[Hovershy 3,813]

Yeah I saw that. It was so awesome cause I really wasn't expecting it!

[Buzz 1,769]

And they said the show was for little girls!

[zomgvampires 8]

I just want to say, I LOVED this!

I don't get it.

 

 

obligatory 20 characters

It's because it aired on national television during the Super Bowl.  It's really just the fact that FiM was shown at all.  The scene is really short.

I saw that on television last night and literally spit out my soda I was drinking, I was OMG ponies!!!!!! I also saw the LEGO movie characters too and went squee!!!

My parents rewound the ad just to show me.

They know what I like.

Too bad they're Colts fans, my Patriots crushed them in the AFC Championship.  

[MechanicalDoom 300]

This is the only part of the super bowl that I really cared about. I didn't watch it at all, actually. Someone shared this in a brony group on FB. It was pretty surprising. The ponies are spreading.

[Gernia 690]

I was pleasantly surprised to see it. Made sense they were Colts fans.

[Jangocoolguy 433]

Neat. Though what was the actual commercial for???

[Toast 55]

So the mane 6 actually came out in the super bowl cheering? I'm not really in to football and was out delivering pizzas the entire time thinking about when season 5 would start. lol

I didn't see it... Can somebody explain what happened?

Not really a Super Bowl fan, but so proud to see MLP reach this height to be alongside the Lego Movie and Penguins of Madagascar!

Here's a series of frame by frame screenshots of the scene, all in 1920 by 1080, for anyone who wants to make a gif or a wallpaper.

It's not that big of a deal, with that clip that was just posted, it was in a clip thing that was aimed at kids.

 

The super bowl isn't just watched by adults, but by families, little girls, kids, everyone. So they wanted to put that in there for the little girls, NOT the bronies.

 

So really... It's not a big thing, they do that with every super bowl. It would be a big thing if it was a bronies thing, but with the clip that was posted, just confirmed that it was put in there for the kids, not the adults.

 

I'd say that they put in there for both the bronies and the kids. You're right, the Super Bowl NFL is watched by everybody, and I thought that it was rather clever of them to add in something that a younger audience would recognise. But MLP:FiM is becoming a sensation both universally and of geek culture, thanks to the bunch of fans we did not expect. Not to mention that if it weren't for the success of this show and the fandom, we wouldn't ever get a 2-second clip featuring the Mane 6 in Colts clothing.

I wouldn't be surprised if we got an football themed episode but I'm guessing that won't air until September by the earliest. It will be really cool having two of my favourite things in one.
