Accidental Brony Jokes

[Dawn Stripes 301]

A source of great personal amusement to myself.

 

I'm at the office today, hangin' around, making the rounds, keepin' it cool, and my fellow office workers suddenly start mentioning this hair care product that they use.

Apparently a formuls developed for show horses turned out to work surprisingly well on human hair. So human gals (and maybe even some of the guys) go home and use Mane 'n Tail  shampoo and body wash for good health and looks.

And I couldn't have come up with a better pony pun than that if I tried.

 

 

Secondly, philosophy class, where we were discussing the Aristotelean theory of virtue--and were asked to raise our hands and suggest example virtues that he might explain to us how the theory worked. Someone suggested 'Loyalty' and that went duly on. Seeing a pattern, quite defectively, from only one item, as I am want to do, I raised a hand and suggested Honesty.

The next suggestion just so happened to be generosity.

At this point me and the girl next to me, who I don't know, were trying hard not to laugh. I suggest we were laughing at the same thing.

What makes it even better is that this professor, in his own words, specializes in 'the ethics of friendship.'

That's right. There's an actual person who studies friendship for a living.

 

 

My third and final accidental brony joke came when I was with a group of friend and peers visiting a local high school. It had a nice building, and one of us was doing a 'back in my day' rant, talking about how when we went to school, 'I went to a one-room schoolhouse...and the teacher was, like, a horse...'

And I struggled not to say anything because he had quite accurately described Cheerilee's school house.

 

Share your accidental brony jokes? Now that you're a brony, do things that no one else laughs at make you crack up for obscure reasons?

I will almost say anypony instead of everybody a lot, and my friend and I will laugh. I will say it needs to be about percent cooler and in 10 seconds flat quite a lot as well. I also say eeup just like big mac all the time.

Mmmmmm! Imma get me somma dat Mane 'n Tail™ an' den rub it ahll ovah mah body. Den Ah'll be nahce an' clean!

 

Don't judge me, judging is definitely NOT one of six great virtues of friendship. I would know, I'm getting my major in friendship.

I think the stuff is actually so vaunted because it promotes hair growth. Show horses are supposed to have longer manes and tails so they look better.

 

So I guess I wouldn't necessarily rub it all over...

Well, I tend to say everything in pony terms since I completely forgot how to talk normally. I accidentally typed "anypony" in an essay once and when I got it back, the professor circled the word in red pen and wrote, "WHAT IS ANYPONY?" I got lectured on proper vocabulary that day since they thought I didn't know how to spell "anybody."

One time, my sister was headed off to the grocery store, and asked if there was anything I needed. When I said, 'Frosted Flakes', her twisted, demented mind somehow interpreted that as 'princess'. Being a young, hormonal girl, she thought that was hilarious, and put it on her grocery list.

 

When she came home a while later, I found that she got a Luna candy bar without even realizing the MLP reference.

That's....sad. Very funny. But sad.

I admit, I think I've said 'anypony' once, to my friends' horror. And there was whole time period after reading Fallout Equestria where every profanity I thought or used was something out of Littlepip's mouth. That was fun to explain...

I remember that one time when we were at the restaurant with parents and friends. We had finished eating and we were talking about the desserts they had on the menu.

Imagine me trying not to say "brony and Pinkie Pie" instead of "brownie and pecan pie" ^-^

In one of my classes, we were suggesting ideas for the name of a program for donating hygiene items to the needy, and it was December, so it was winter/holiday themed. I suggested "Winter Wash-Up" without even realizing it sounded like Winter Wrap Up before saying it. No one associated it with MLP, though. I think "Holiday Hygiene" is what we all eventually agreed on.

I've said anypony and everypony before, lol. Purely out of mistake. Then my friend and I were at Sportchek, and we found a bike named "Luna" My friend was tempted to buy it just because it saying Luna on it.

 

Also,I just happen to have a bottle of that Mane and Tail shampoo in my cupboard, why we have it I have no idea.

I tend to say HUZZAH a lot, and most of the time I don't even get any comments from it. I mean, who says huzzah anymore?  And because of Luna, I tend to have and get higher knowledge and quiz scores when we talk about Old English and Shakespeare.

I work in an animal feed store/warehouse which sells lots of horse and pony related products so you can imagine all the references I'm faced with.

 

Someone was interested in buying a cockatiel and asked about teaching them to talk and if a female cockatiel was harder to train. I explained that my female cockatiel talked all the time... I had to restrain myself from telling them that I was currently teaching her to whistle the theme song to My Little Pony. (her name is Derpy Claws by the way).

 

I also have to stop myself from saying "is anypony else waiting to be served" all the time to customers, especially if they are buying Horse and Pony pellets.

 

Mane and Tail shampoo is designed with protiens in it to help with hair growth but there is a product called MTG (male tail groom) that works better. The problem is... it smells like bacon! Which makes me think of Dr Whooves and how he can't eat Bacon because he's now a pony.

 

Certain items also seem to make me laugh for no apparent reason to non Bronies. Such as ... seeing any set of tree balloons, apples or butterflies.

I'll assume you all know about the online photographs, cards, and design company?

Even more apt considering Fluttershy's short lived modelling career.

Often times when I type rough drafts I use "anypony" and "everypony" to make easier on my brain and for a laugh, but then i change it 

[10InTheTardis 509]

Well, although the thing I was talking about was pony related, here's something I accidentally said.

"Well, since I didn't watch MLP back then and had no idea what a fluttershy was, I just thought, 'hmm, well, if you flip the first letter of each word around you get butterfly...' wait a secon, that wouldn't be butterfly, it would be... slutterfhly.", Right after that I realized what I accidentally called fluttershy and felt bad, especially when my friend said "that sounds like an air plane with a stripper pole in it."

[Adorkable 2,737]

At work, I'll always ask someone what in the wide world of Equestria are they talking about. It's about something I do every day.
