movies/tv Potential MLP Robot Chicken Episode

[Ponies4Bronies 396]

I saw this article on EqD and it made me nervous. I like Robot Chicken and I watch it sometimes, which is why I got nervous, I know their kind of humor. I don't want them to completely insult MLP or the fandom. I don't know what they are going to do. These types of Adult Swim shows tend to have really gross humor and I'm afraid they will go for the perverted neckbeard stereotype. What do you think?

Yup, stereotypes inbound. This show loves to use its detrimental humor. The thing, I actually wouldn't mind, if not for one thing: The public. Considering that there are many people that just flatout hate the brony fandom and use stereotypes to dehumanize us, but RC is a public show, so if it shines us in a really negative light, then that might not be good. For some reason, apparently stereotypes are the absolute truth when it comes to us. According to many others at least.

 

Who knows, maybe it won't even be about us, but I have a strong feeling we will be there somewhere.

Well isn't it true that Seth Green is a brony or was he just posing next to Pinkie for kicks?

It's unclear but for our sake lets hope he is, after all he is one of the head writers/executive producers and co-creator. So he might make it positive if he is a brony. But there is always room for speculation until the episode airs.

Ehh, It can't be any worse than these.

People have been downright offended by this kind of stuff but I get a little chuckle out of it personally.

 

Edit: I actually wish there was a toy line of Brony and Pegasister dolls. I'd buy one in a heartbeat.

Sadly, even if Seth is a Brony, which I am not sure of, this episode would still feature a lot of detrimental humor. Seth would probably use it as a fun way to poke at the fandom and have it be self-detrimental humor, something that I am sure he dabbles with a lot. So either way, I feel like we might see stereotypes within this episode, but we will just have to wait and see.

That should be enjoyable for me seeing as I like Robot Chicken (I feel it does a good job at adding adult twists on things while showing respect to the source material). I expect there to be some kind of humor that may be offensive to bronies because after all, even if Seth Green is a brony, he was probably a fan of almost everything else he's parodied on the show. Just a little word of advice for parodying something like this: Make sure you tell more than one joke about bronies seeing as there are many way so can mock the fandom besides the one joke that a lot choose (looking at you College Humor).

Well he has featured himself in the past and he has no problem making fun of himself either. I really don't mind when it comes down to it. I won't stop watching the show or hate the man if they do put MLP or the fandom in a detrimental sort of way, it's one of my favorite shows, it's the ignorant people that don't know it's meant to be a joke and take it for fact that worry me.

Ehh, It can't be any worse than these.

I saw those a while ago. I like CollegeHumor too. It's meant to be a joke and not to be taken seriously. I sort of found those videos entertaining, but again it's the ignorant people that take these jokes for fact that I don't like and that they then firmly believe in them for time after.

Edit:Well, their more creative works, those videos were entertaining but were very stale and not creative like many of their other videos are.

I hope it's as good as their Apocalypse Pony bit

I think I would actually enjoy such episode, if it were executed well. For example, the Pikachu vs. Bronies animation uses the same stereotypes in the CollegeHumor animation, but the way it was presented made it funny. They added their own twist to it, and it wasn't some "neener-neener, Lol, we know that Bronies exist" crap.

 

Admittedly, I haven't watched Robot Chicken in a long time, but I would be eager for incentive to start.

Me too, as long as it's funny and creative, I won't mind as much. 

[Ponies4Bronies 396]

It seems that you're more conerned with the writers making it more offensive than humorous, yeah?

Well yes, but as long as its funny it can be offensive too, its when its sole purpose is to be offensive that I'm afraid of.
