Yummychickenblue 301 February 16, 2015 Share February 16, 2015 I think they probably need some better voice actors. Check out my EQTV channel The Chicken Coop! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ziggy + Angel + Rain 11,302 February 16, 2015 Share February 16, 2015 (edited) They're obviously PONY-RIFIC! https://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=fSWx9aHyUEk The voice here, though: Not even close. -_- I liked the part where Rainbow was flying around, though. xD "Ask a parent first." And not even necessarily one of YOUR parents; just anyone who's a parent. Edited February 16, 2015 by Ziggy and Angelbaby 1 "It uses the faculty of what you call imagination.

Jonny Music 3,400 February 16, 2015 Share February 16, 2015 Personally, I could care less about the toy line. As usual, they are marketing schemes (it's the truth and you all know it). 2 My Profile LinkedIn Profile Main YouTube Channel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dark Qiviut 22,379 February 16, 2015 Share February 16, 2015 (edited) Beyond the poor voice acting, they're a gender-conforming stereotype wrapped up in one big box. "Family" toys should be toys — played by not just boys and girls regardless of age, not just for one age group and one sex. These commercials do nothing to subvert that.

zombienixon 330 February 16, 2015 Share February 16, 2015 I think the commercials are hilarious. Especially ones where they try and voice the characters ("It's Twahlaht Sporkle's Buhlewn!"). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EquestriaGuy 1,074 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R7612ozqgRM There is a massive disconnect between the passion, motivation, quality, and respect for the characters that the animation department has for the MLP brand, and the completely vapid crap the toy department puts out. These girls look like they've been given a large amount of champagne and forced to smile weakly at gun point. compare that to The Hub's (Ripperino in pepperino) commercials Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackened 512 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 (edited) The ones over here are so bad... There was another advert from the same channel, but I can't find it anywhere.

Sapphire Lightning 784 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 I live in a bit of a bubble. No Cable No Sat Just Intertubes and a Roku box. I had actually forgotten about the concept of televised advertising, excepting HuluPlus. But even that is tame and tends to have adverts that seem to be directed at investors more than the ponies who watch them. And, no. I will not click on any of those adverts posted above. I do not need to destroy my appreciation for the show. You better believe I've got chill up my sleeve!My Hypno-Fluttershy Journal Click Here to chat with my friends and I on IRC!

TheJLeeTeam 914 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 I think they're pretty good. I wouldn't care how good they are because most are just toy commercials. 1 My blog post on Starting Fresh with MLP:FiM: https://mlpforums.com/blog/2076/entry-16988-im-starting-fresh-with-mlp-fim/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kapitan zur See Hans (Daz) 883 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 They scare me, but pretty much all children's toy commercials scare me, as well as make me facepalm, some are just too stupid(But it's for kids I guess). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1Bit 1,531 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 The toy ones are super cringy..but I guess they're not as bad to a young girl audience. The ones for the actual show are pretty good though. Especially the season 5 ones ---< Fanfic Writer, Music Maker, Film Director and Voice Actor >--- Don't expect anything incredible though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvfluttershy 35 February 17, 2015 Author Share February 17, 2015 (edited) Most of the MLP commercial are too girly for me. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07T8bmKt_6Q&feature=player_detail I wouldn't think Twilight would sing "Isn't It amazing now that I have princess wings!"

_Kurtis 636 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 They're pretty horrible. It's not just the MLP commercials I hate, either. I hate 99.99% of the commercials I see everyday. Seriously, people don't know how to make commercials that aren't annoying these days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chirox the pony 1,336 February 17, 2015 Share February 17, 2015 The ones over here are so bad... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vVVjSN7bbJ0 There was another advert from the same channel, but I can't find it anywhere. It was so cringeworthy... ;_; Oh god I hope my friend didn't see that, that thing is one of the worst ways to describe this show, sigh I feel sorry for all the people who were put off of this show by that thing. But from what I understand a lot of the toy commercials are similar, in which case I don't support them as they continue the concept of gender roles, sigh why can't hasbro learn from FIM... 2 No matter how hard I try these ponies will simply never leave me.

Confucius 194 February 18, 2015 Share February 18, 2015 (edited) Commercials are the one place where Hasbro doesn't cobsider the male fanbase. This just makes bronies look bad to my parents when they see these girly commercials. They ask "so you're into this girly stuff?" I swear if I worked in the ideas department I would suggest them to acknowledge all the people who enjoy the show and market to them. More people= more money it would boost sales and make more fans happy! Edited February 18, 2015 by SergeantShy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
