vermillionlove 7 February 20, 2012 Share February 20, 2012 (edited) I was watching episode 5 of season 1 (griffon the brush off I think it was called? not positive.) yesterday and screencapped this... viddy well my little pony, viddy well. Anyone else see the resemblance? XD or is it just me? I know it was probably not intended to be an a clockwork orange reference. but I couldn't help but think of it after this scene :'D Edited February 20, 2012 by vermillionlove 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marshmallow 1,137 February 20, 2012 Share February 20, 2012 Wow! I can't believe I never noticed that! It probably wasn't intentional, but it's really cool nonetheless! ^^ "There was me, that is Pinkie, and my three droogs, that is Rarity, Rainbow, and Fluttershy, and we sat in the Ponyville Milkbar trying to make up our rassoodocks what to do with the evening."

Lady Ice Dragon 16 February 20, 2012 Share February 20, 2012 I'm of the opinion that from the very beginning the animators and all have added sight gags specifically for the parents who watch the show with their kids. Ive gone back through the cartoons I watched as a kid in the 80's and 90's, and I find a ton of references I didn't get then that I get now. Doing things like this is a large part of the appeal for older fans (us), at least in my opinion. Chimi Cherry Chonga! Now With More Sass! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legendary Emerald 622 February 20, 2012 Share February 20, 2012 I think the most explicit the show ever got in its adult references so far (at least that I've seen) was the "spiked punch" line in season 1. But I wouldn't be surprised in the least if there were a lot more references like this that I've missed.

Eenohay 318 February 20, 2012 Share February 20, 2012 It must be a reference for something obscure cause i've got no idea what are you talking about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vermillionlove 7 February 20, 2012 Author Share February 20, 2012 Hahahaha @crispy, that's fantastic! XD @eenohay I think rainbow dash resembles alex from a clockwork orange. in the movie, it seems fashinoable to have one eye done up in makeup. alex has one pair of dramatic false eyelashes. and dash kinda looks like she'd fit right in their gang, here. @emerald Yeah, I was kinda surprised at the spiked punch reference myself also spike asking for "another donut! EXTRA SPRINKLES." made me lol. @lady ice dragon yup, I too have been enlightened by rewatching old cartoons from my childhood... that feeling of "I understand that joke now!!" is pretty funny. @marshmallow looks like you're a fan of ACO too ;D pinkamina does a great alex impression!

Twi Rubix 726 February 21, 2012 Share February 21, 2012 Never heard of the refrence in here, but it could be intentional! I love all the refrences the show makes, though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
