Toughbrony20 24 September 4, 2012 Share September 4, 2012 Even though I'm a 5 day old brony, it really confounds me when scootaloo is called a chicken. Why is he called that, is it because of cowardice or because he acts like a real life chicken? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null1 606 September 4, 2012 Share September 4, 2012 It just started out as a meme on the show when Apple Bloom calls her a chicken. Fans took it intentionally and it evolved into what it is now. http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/pony-re-imaginings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Original 571 September 4, 2012 Share September 4, 2012 You know scootaloo is a girl... right? You kept saying 'he' in you're post, (i hate 100 character posting) all the CMC are girls, of course the other two are a bit obvious.

Haven Celestii 9,385 September 4, 2012 Share September 4, 2012 First, Scootaloo is a she. Second, its just an old joke from the episode "The Stare Master" when Fluttershy's chickens are startled and the CMC go looking for the one that ran away. Applebloom is calling for the chicken and, if I remember correctly, Scootaloo says something either saying not to yell in the forest attracting anything or wanting to go back, I don't completely remember. Applebloom then proceeds to continue to call for the chicken, but using Scootaloo's name instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starshadow 5 September 4, 2012 Share September 4, 2012 (edited) I think the quote was something like "I know how to call a chicken. Scoot, scoot, scootaloo." Don't worry about thinking Scootaloo is a guy, my husband didn't realize Dash was a girl until I told him more than halfway through the season. Edit: ignore me and read the next post. Much better.

Dusty Soul 2,614 September 4, 2012 Share September 4, 2012 As others have said, it's an old joke from the episode "Stair Master", Yeah, I find it quite funny, as it does open up many humorous situations...

Auryn 95 September 4, 2012 Share September 4, 2012 Actually, the CMC calling Scootaloo a chicken and other flightless birds seems pretty terrible due to her lack of flight. I'm not sure if the speculation that Scootaloo was supposed to be a grounded peagasus with a real disability is true or not, but either way it seems to be a case of kids being unintentionally cruel.

AnonBrony 1,469 September 4, 2012 Share September 4, 2012 I think everyone pretty muched covered it. Stare Master. AB calls her a chicken. End of story. And thats how equestria was made! Thats how Scootaloo became a Chicken. Next I bet you gonna ask why Fluttershy is always called a Tree or why we call Rarity a marshmellow. (I don't even know why we call Rarity that.)

Its because in the episode A Dog and Pony Show, the angle at which the camera is and how she is laying looks like she is made up of marshmellows thanks to her coat color.

sweetolebob18 728 November 7, 2016 Share November 7, 2016 A chicken is a flightless bird. Scootaloo is a flightless Pegasus. I'd think it is obvious & is probably a common Pegasus insult. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
