sunset_sprint 190 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 Its fine. But when someone comments ''Blah Blah 20% cooler BLAH'' on a YouTube video that is totally UNRELATED- to My Little Pony what-so-ever, it tends to get on peoples nerves. Which usually ends up stirring up a war on that- video's comments. Trust me, i'v seen it happen plenty of times. EDIT: Crap, i forgot my banner says it too. Unfortunately i'm too lazy to change it because i don't want to go on a scavenge hunt for one. Possible MLP trolls or trolls in general trying to annoy everyone with their posts that probably don't make sense or are out of context because they probably don't even know what it means or where it originated from. 2 Sunset wants a brohoof /)Sunset Sprint - Xbox Live Gamertaghttp://sunsetsprint.deviantart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReGen 1,466 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 It's only "annoying" if people use it outside of the Brony fandom. It doesn't really fit anywhere else. That's like our phrase or something. 1 "I keep the walking on the right side, but I won't judge the next who handles walking on the wrong. 'Cause that's how he wants to be. No difference, see."

Scrumpy 159 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 Meh, it's just like anything else, it's not really annoying but if it is over done then yeah it then becomes annoying, it has been over used a bit but if anything though I'd have to say it's more tiresome than annoying. Though I don't think the people who over use it realise they are doing it half the time, and it's probably not that they are deliberately trying to get on your wick about it either. 1 From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Scrumpy is cider made in the West Country of England,[1] particularly a band through Devon, Somerset, Gloucestershire and Herefordshire, though it may also be found in Kent, Sussex and East Anglia. The term is especially used to distinguish those made locally in smaller quantities and using traditional methods from mass-produced branded ciders.

Cloud Shadow 3 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 I like it because when RD said it, it didn't really seem like the writers wanted it to get out there, I don't think it was intended to be a popular thing. However you have to remember, this was season 1.So everything the ponies said was gold. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You also raise another good point, since Rainbow Dash is best pony you can't blame people fro trying to be cool like her. 1 Sunset wants a brohoof /)Sunset Sprint - Xbox Live Gamertaghttp://sunsetsprint.deviantart.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RosemaryPetal 112 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 YES! I hate how sometimes I'm trying to have a normal conversation, and then the other person's like "If we do this it'll make it 20% cooler." It wasn't even that funny in the first place. 1 Racer Roselinda Inkblot Grapes Rose Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nerdy Luigi 2,065 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 I think it isn't. I really like the 20% cooler thing myself, and actually use it a bit, not like all the time but somewhat frequently, because I find it quite awesome. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rainbow dash in general Is very overrated. even its opinion people state that shes the best and expect everyone to agree with that. To be honest She is my least favourite Mane Six with Pinkie as my favourite. no wonder i hate 20% cooler 2 Credits to Mint Drop for an awesome Sig.

IronPonyApplejack 318 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 It's basically a brony meme. And that's all any meme is, really. At least quote-related ones. It's something that was said once with no intended significance, but it caught on for some reason. That being said, people who say it CONSTANTLY are annoying. But that has nothing to do with the phrase itself. Anything said constantly gets annoying. Well, everything except "Applejack is best pony". That can never be said enough. 3 If you're at all familiar with #Twitterponies, you can find me there!

\/ 651 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 I'm fine with it in a signature or used by a Dashie fan once in a while, but when people use it in every post they make and they try and get others to do it, that's when it gets annoying. 1 Enter the Forest...

Apple Bloom Bot 47 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 Well personally, I only say "20% cooler" only when it is appropriate...Such as giving suggestions! It is not cool when you used those words very often now and then...

Planty 1,053 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 If you don't like the way your friend talks and if you find the little quotes they use annoying then you should just find a new friend instead of complain. They don't hurt anyone with it and it brings them joy, the way they talk is a part of who they are and you should accept it if you really care about them. I still can't even understand why saying quotes from MLP would be annoying... I used to think this about everything till I had 2 friends where everything they said would be a direct quote or reference to game of thrones. Throwing in the odd reference is fnine and doesn't bother me (with MLP or anything), I think it's more the fact that some of my friends disslike MLP, just as I don't like GOT, and to go on about something they dislike so they don't really get the reference I know would just be annoying for them as they can't "join in the fun". 2 Have ANY questions about Christianity?

xblackrosesx 81 July 22, 2013 Share July 22, 2013 I gotta admit it can get annoying when people use it WAY to much. I guess I'm okay with it, as long as people don't go fucking insane with the saying while I'm around. 3 Signature made by the amazing Kyoshi My Deviantart | My Artwork | My Writing | Ask Me Mischief managed.

LightsCameraAction 100 July 23, 2013 Share July 23, 2013 I think this thread makes a great point, if the fandom is annoying people in the fandom itself, then maybe the haters make a valid point every now and then, but that is just my opinion. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxyCryptid 4,330 July 23, 2013 Share July 23, 2013 It's actually the partial trope namer for a trope on Tvtropes. , So I would say it's not THAT annoying or that would;ve been renamed long ago. I really haven't seen it that much lately. I think we've grown out of the phase of spouting memes and quotes all the time without reason. 1 "You know, I don't know who or what you are Methos, and I know you don't want to hear this, but you did teach me something. You taught me that Life's about change, about learning to accept who you are, good or bad. And I thank you for that." -Duncan McLeod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Onylex 2,837 July 23, 2013 Share July 23, 2013 I use some quotes when they feel appropriate. I think some bronies spam the buck out of it because they think its funny but, no one ever likes that type of brony. You just learn to tolerate and except them. lolz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdrianJames 26 July 23, 2013 Share July 23, 2013 I quote the show sometimes. Not that much though, and only while talking to my mom. If she didnt watch the episode I will most likely not though, because if someone doesnt know where you are quoting from then its not the same. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wonderbolt_Spitfire 235 July 23, 2013 Share July 23, 2013 I feel there is a limit to using such catch phrases, but as long as they make sense and amusing then I don't have a problem with it. I think that everyone's personal tolerance of it differs a small amount here and there. Just say it when it makes sense and I don't have a problem. 1 Sig made by me.

Scootalove 10,689 July 23, 2013 Share July 23, 2013 It is pretty annoying, sure I'm a Rainbow Dash fan but I don't use 20% cooler too much since it would annoy a lot of people. So, I just say other quotes that aren't annoying. 1 Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thrashy 2,800 July 23, 2013 Share July 23, 2013 I don't have a problem with the phrase. It is a cool line, after all - perhaps about 20% cooler than most other memorable one-liners from the show - but perhaps it is getting a little overused. I mean, you know you've driven a reference into the ground when even non-bronies are well aware of what it means. It's basically lost all its effectiveness as one of our "code phrases" to subtly communicate with other bronies. We'd better just hope that "I am not whining, I am complaining" or "Oatmeal? Are you crazy?!" don't get found out, otherwise we're all royally bucked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shanks 10,816 July 23, 2013 Share July 23, 2013 No, not really I mean I am sure there are some people that have overused that phrase but "20% cooler" is far from being the most annoying and overused meme. One of the meme's that really annoyed me the most was the "then I took an arrow to the knee" meme from I think it was Skyrim if I remember correctly. Now that one really made me want to reach into my computer screen and say "for the love of all that is unholy can you please say something else."

Dark Horn 430 July 23, 2013 Share July 23, 2013 Oh 20% cooler man! This thread is 20% cooler than the last one I read! Gee, your brain is 20% cooler than everyone else's, and this post is 20% cooler than the one below it. Sorry, couldn't help myself. Seriously.

MichaelxXxTrixie 433 July 23, 2013 Share July 23, 2013 20 Percent Cooler doesn't annoy me at all. It's just a way within our Fandom to say something has improved, gotten better, needs improvement, or something else. That's all the input I can put into this topics, I think my post needs to be about ehh... 20% cooler? 1 Thanks to the lovely Pink Mist for the magnificent signature!
