Out of sheer curiosity...

Just for the hay of it,

What is your earliest pony related memory?

Mine would have to be, epicly, of the generation three living tea party thing where the ponies eyes were all glitchy in those weird costumes.... *Shudder*

It was scarring.

But with gen 4.... THERE IS HOPE!

So yeah, just for the hay of it. :3

I think it is of my friend showing me his Rainbow dash toy that he got from his girlfriend for his birthday.

At that point I didn't understand it so I just thought he was being weird.

Advertisements for their toys on the TV screen way back when. And the toys in the shops too, remember seeing them.

I used to play with a Generation 2 MLP toy when I was younger, despite me being male. I really don't like that memory at all.

[NavelColt 22,876]

 

Not the precise commercial, but yeah, that's basically my first memory. Commercials that were so girly-girl that my younger male self got goose-bumps and felt physically ill. Lauren is truly doing things LIKE A FAUST, if she was able to pull this crap, and turn it into god.

[Nas 2,863]

Hm.....basically the commercials for the toys growing up. It was G3-G3.5-ish, I think.

[Pencil J. Doodle 242]

I think it was my sister playing with the dolls 10-ish years ago. I never really HATED My Little pony, i just saw it as a girls thing

[The Awesome One 1,314]

Back in 2004, when my little sister watched nothing but My little Pony. I wanted to watch Shahid Afridi pull a big six in the cricket series but NOOOOO, she was too busy dressing in style with Rainbow Dash....god that line is still stuck in my head.

[Chill Mists (Chilly) 801]

Making fun of my little sister for liking mlp... my little pony skinny and bony...

[Bugz 159]

I remember killing some old gen ponies toys with my Action man 10-13 years ago.

 

Damn I loved Action man toys.

This thread appears to be related to the My Little Pony franchise and/or the Bronydom in general. Thus, it has been sentenced to Sugarcube Corner.

 

This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

If I recalled correctly, the very first time I saw the colorful horse was when I was eight (or six, or ten, whatever)

 

It's the famed G1, and it was a pretty nasty episode about the Tirek. Or maybe the goat guy, I can only remember it was about someone's birthday party being ruined

I saw a pony thread on /b/, and being the immature, biased, idiot I was back in high school, I did everything in my power short of turning off my computer to avoid it. Nowadays, I wish I could go back in time slap myself in the face. Edited May 26, 2012 by Vee

The first time I remember hearing about MLP was on a forum I was a part of in my mid teens. There was a girl (who was older than me) who was a proud MLP toy collector. Her username was based off of one of the ponies. One of them that never made the transition to this generation.

[Mr. Jaguar 1,402]

My oldest pony memories.....I still remember the old MLP commercials for G3 and G3.5 (at least I think they were those ones) so very, very, very, VERY long ago. They used to play so often, usually involving some sort of playhouse to go with the toys. Ugg. Then there was the baby pony toys.....errrgh. I also think I MAY have seen a small bit of one of the G3 movies as a little kid, I'm not sure. I haven't really seen any G4 pony commercials on TV, then again I don't really watch the kid channels anymore.

I don't..rememer, and I just turned 13 today and other people who are adults remember there first pony memory.

[Z.J.A. 136]

The MLP commercials on TV before I got Tivo.

[Graphite 79]

i remember when i was quite young, seeing an ad on tv for MLP, would have been around 1996, i believe it was for re-runs of 'My Little Pony Tales'.

Basically this, although I remember that jingle they still use more than anything when it comes to back then. My Little Pony, My Little Pony...

The commercials...

Holy shit, those commercials...

 

Additionally, my elementary school's day-care had some. When the proctors weren't looking (or listening), we'd smash them as hard as we could against tables, walls, etc.

 

I'd still do the same, today. Nopony should have to experience anything G4 < ...

In elementary school kids would make fun of MLP. My friend liked them when we were 8-9.

[Victoria and Co. 782]

My little sister had some MLP toys when she was younger and I remember watching her play with them while my mom was busy.

^This.

I vaguely remember seeing the toys and commercials a long time ago (as in early 90's) but I didn't give them any thought back then. They were just another girl's toy. I only found out about the cartoons after I started watching G4.
