83awsm 233 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) Was lurking on the internet after rewatching the opening episodes of season 1 and noticed that the sea serpent was dubbed "Steven Magnet". Seems like an unrelated name, but alot of fans have gone along with it. How did he get the name and what cannon name do you think the show would have given him?

Finesthour 7,277 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 I honestly forgot he even existed, ..... Derp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doctor XFizzle 8,648 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 He got the name right from that picture you posted lol. As for his actual name, I doubt the writers would even make one for him since he's a one-off character (so far) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLARE 950 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 (edited) It was because of youtubes audio transcribe or something. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/steven-magnet Edited December 29, 2011 by Flare Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanPolo 150 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 It was because of youtubes audio transcribe or something. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/steven-magnet Thats it ^ Just poped up at the bottom apparently.

Fghik 360 Posted December 29, 2011 Share Posted December 29, 2011 Mmmhmm, Captions. As far as canon names are concerned...I'm sure the animators called him something. Just as Derpy really didn't have a name, but it has been confirmed to be a name used by the animators. So I'm sure if they ever make him again, they'd feel just fine calling him the fan name. He kinda does look like a Steve. Although, if he does get a real name... I'd probably go with Indigo... or something slightly more sexually-questionable. Justin Beiber?

I used to be a stranger 7,983 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Google has an optional feature built into the Youtube player called Caption Transcribe, which scans the audio in real-time and generates subtitles based upon what it "thinks" it's hearing as words. It understood "Your fabulous manicure," as "steven magnets" and a meme was born. The caption feature is quite unreliable if the audio contains sound effects, background noise, music, or a speaker who does not speak clearly and enunciate every syllable.

Krall 263 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Well the question has been answered, so I'll leave this here, Because Rarity said he looks smashing Hahaha! That's awesome, though the pockets in his skin are somewhat disturbing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallow 1,132 Posted December 30, 2011 Share Posted December 30, 2011 Funny that you posted the image from which he got his name! But yeah, as it's been explained before, it was because of Youtube's closed captionning feature which sometimes (always) messes up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ezynell 2,034 Posted December 31, 2011 Share Posted December 31, 2011 just noticed. Makes no sense at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy 128 Posted January 1, 2012 Share Posted January 1, 2012 I thought because how fast Rarity fell in love with his fabulousness he got his name for being a real chick magnet. Soowaag~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NavelColt 22,843 Posted July 29, 2012 Share Posted July 29, 2012 "Chaotic, you have to get up at one tomorrow for your volunteer thing. Why the buck are you up at five AM? And in these super old threads?" "Simple, Dashie plushie. Posting Ponies > Everything else. And because chicks love dug up threads." "...That doesn't even make sense-" "More being cute, less criticizing my irrational choices." To be honest I'm quite glad I stumbled upon this. I had zero clue why he was called Steven Magnet, either. I had assumed he was named after some celebrity he looked or acted like...but now I know, and knowing is half the battle. Sure seems like that hilarious Youtube Transcribe is the cause for a lot of jokes, I'm noticing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Badges
