Twilicane

[Ruddboy Olaf 10,628]

I think the facial expression is the best thing about it.

Other than that,it's not that bad of a meme.

 

One of the better ones.

You think the Scepter itself is bad being a meme?

Well its not just a meme anymore. Its also invading games...

Alright! Now I can download for TF2 so I can hit people's face with it!

I wasn't joking. Whoever captioned the first meme calling it a cane was an idiot because he didn't know what a scepter is. Now that it's continuing, it makes all bronies look like idiots because they are using the wrong word.

     can we all agree that while the object is a scepter the meme is twilicane

No, it's the Twili-Scepter

[Retro*Derpy 3,185]

Made me remember Jose Jalapeno! Though as the meme itself, I say the humor in it is funnier than gak, but in all honesty I thought gak pony artwork was rather cool.

 

5/10

Now you're just crossing over the Naïvelyn Bridge into Absurdville. I know it's a scepter (and plenty of others do, too), but calling it "Twiliscepter," while technically correct, just doesn't sound correct. "Twilicane," on the other hand, is cooler, catchier, rolls off the tongue better, and serves as an objectively great pun to better correlate with the Twilicorn. Like the meme itself, the name's silly (and incorrect), but it's a joyful kind of silly, and the whole meme broke the cycle of seriousness seen around the parts of the core fandom. So, whether you like it or not, Twilicane wins.

 

Besides, and I'll say it again, what fun is there in making sense?

What fun is making non-bronies think all bronies are imbeciles that don't know a simple word? This, like so many other things in the fandom, only adds fuel to the fire with people who think there's something wrong with adult MLP:FIM fans. I'm just glad for the most part it doesn't effect me, as a female fan of the show.

@@cuteycindyhoney, You're merely enforcing what I'm saying via this ridiculous fear and angst over the incorrect use of the term. The meme is harmless, crazy, and just silly. The term, while incorrect, just enforces the zany part of the brony culture that helps make the fandom great (and, by accident, the goofiness of the scepter's face, too). "Twilicane" is incorrect, but those who actually understand what it means to be refreshingly silly don't give a damn, and like the meme itself, "Twilicane" is harmless, silly, and catchy. Nothing more.

 

It doesn't help reinforce how the fandom's cookoo for Cocoa Puffs nor the lie of it being stupid, and you're really overthinking it by claiming it as such. If any fool uses this as evidence that this great fandom's screwed up, then that's their problem, not ours.

I just don't like how it's one more thing to add to the hater pile. I know I'm taking this a bit too seriously, but in many cases bronies are their own worst enemies.

[Dark Qiviut 22,402]

@@cuteycindyhoney, Like what I said before, anyone intelligent enough who doesn't like FIM would understand what it means to be a little silly. The meme does nothing except tell others it pays to be creative, loose, silly, and funny regardless of how incorrect the term is. There's nothing more to think about, and you're kidding yourself by being too uptight over it.

 

Again, if anyone out there wishes to use the Twilicane meme as well as the technically incorrect name as evidence that the fandom has low intelligence and insight, then it's their problem, not mine. The bronies did nothing but have harmless fun with the meme, while the anti-bronies just made themselves look really daft by taking it too seriously.

Via your ridiculous angst throughout this merged thread, you completely reinforced my points and, I daresay, only made yourself your worst enemy. Again, sometimes it pays just to be zany and — like the Kit Kat jingle — take a break from being serious, and this fun meme proves it.

Have some minigun cane twilight instead.

[Flutter's lover <3 8,205]

This one made me laugh. Miley Cyrus, eat your heart out.

 

[SveciaDash 364]

hilarious and awesome. Meghan Mccarthy called it an Twilicane so its an twilicane.

[FNGRpony 658]

lol I actually like it... I think it's pretty hilarious how something so simple can become so popular. The facial expression is the best thing with it heh.

 

btw it's a scepter, not cane

 

.....

 

wtf did i jusyt watch lol.that was insane

[Capt. Snuggle Gruff 101]

I think its pretty funny.  I'm glad it exists so we don't have to think to much about the other weird things from season 4 premier.

Also here is a Gmod Picture

It's a weird and funny meme. Twilicane is love. Twilicane is life. All hail Twilicane.

[JonPear 209]

I like it so much I even made this in GIMP this morning:

 

[Starswirl the Trixie 975]

An overused meme coming from the season premier?

 

Does this not sound like deja vu?  Or, rather, deja goo?

 

[FlutterDash4072 189]

It's probably one of my favorite memes to come out of this fandom. My favorite so far was posted on the Dan Vs. Facebook page shortly after the premier.

[Luximus 482]

DUDE! MY FRIEND ON SKYPE STARTED THE TWISEPTER THING! He even showed me a pic of it when he was working on creating it! Wen I looked at it at first I was like...the heck is that? Now it's like the next best brony thing! OMG!

[FlutterDash4072 189]

Man, all the Twilicane hate in this thread is disappointing. Why do you guys hate fun? Did it come to life and kick you in the shins?

(Yeah, I should've read the thread before posting, but I was really excited to show off the Dan scepter.)

 

Also, this is another one I love.

 

"That's right, you do as the Twilicane commands!"

[Grepper 3,192]

In my opinion, Twilicane is just a stupid meme

 

that was forced into a random spot in Slice of Life.

 

[Misty Rose 3,216]

I honestly have no idea why Twilicane was included in Slice of Life. It made me laugh, but it was a pretty pointless and stupid cameo

[Guest]

Forgive me for sounding dumb and not being in the hip lingo, but why is this cane so popular?

It reminds me of the DBZ "It's over 9000" thing and I never understood why that was so funny itself. This to me is just like that in someways. I don't get it either and I guess it's "supposed to be funny somehow idk .

[Dark Qiviut 22,402]

Forgive me for sounding dumb and not being in the hip lingo, but why is this cane so popular?

There's no exact reason why it became popular, but it's one of those little details that came from Princess Twilight Sparkle. It's goofy. It's hilarious. You can do a lot with it, like this:

 

 

It's a versatile, goofy Easter Egg.

 

As for the name itself, it's technically a "scepter," so calling it a "cane" is a misnomer. But "Twiscepter" doesn't have the ring compared to "Twilicane," so "Twilicane" stuck.
