Unintentional My Little Pony References in Everyday Life

[The Crimson Cross 7,533]

Alright, so the other day I was listening to a lecture and I kept hearing all these funny unintentional pony references.

This is what happened...

Guy: "So as you can see from this great plot...(something or other) MLP is very interesting" 

 

In case any of you didn't know before, MLP also stands for Master Limited Partnership and is commonly heard in the shares and investments world! 

 

Has anyone else had any encounters of unintentional My Little Pony references in their life? I have seen Winter Wrap Up sales quite a few times before too. 

if you can think of anything, do feel free to share!

Happened to me at work today   I was singing happy birthday to a family friend's son and ended up spending a good deal of my shift playing with him and his friends (we were very dead today due to the weather). I went back into the kitchen to fetch the children more refreshments, when my boss stopped me to tell me that he admired how good I was at handling kids. 

 

Boss: "I'm terrible with kids. I just don't see how you do it, it's like you're a f***ing princess of friendship or something."

Never really ever encounter them, but ever since watching the show, "20% more" of anything has been seemingly occouring more and more frequently in my math classes

This is pretty old, but when I first saw it... well done ASUS. Well done.

I started singing the theme song of course   My boss knows I love MLP but I doubt he even realized that he made a reference, as he doesn't watch the show.

Old pic, but still relative. Seen it while sitting in traffic a couple years ago. I'm assuming MLP stands for something else though.

 

[GlowingFlask 2,356]

All the time. Everyday, there is something that makes me think of ponies.

Before I became a brony, in the drama club at my school we were organizing a live, improvised soap opera (it's improvised but we still come up with the characters beforehand), and one of the characters was named "Rainbow Sparkle." I don't remember for sure who suggested the the name, but I'm pretty sure it was me who did. But like I said, I wasn't a brony and had no idea at the time that "Rainbow" and "Sparkle" were both parts of names of ponies.

Does it count if *I* unintentionally reference the show lol?  I've said "okie dokie" for years (because I'm so cool, obviously), and the other day a "lokie" just kind of fell out of my mouth along with it. xD  No?  Okay, every box of Apple Jacks cereal references Apple Jack.

Once I saw a thing abbreviated MLP and I perked up but it was just an abbreviation for something else.

I accidentally said (and I'm not kidding) "It would be perfect if it was about 20 degrees cooler" when I was outside today with my family.

Can't tell if pure coincidence or Freudian slip.  Luckily nobody caught on.

[Solid 1,327]

Freudian slips.

 

Butterfly -> Fluttershy

[John 793]

Oh yeah.. and another time I said "Canterlot" instead of "Camelot" during a presentation in English class about Arthurian Legend..  F#ck my Life...  At least is was an AP class, so everybody was nerdy and accepting.

I am glad I'm not the only one who does that!!!

Especially when you say it like this:

"Hey everyone! Look at that majestic Fluttershy!"    

But seriously, it can get a bit embarrassing sometimes... *ahem* Yes.

I have said everypony before in front of hundreds of people during presentations... Just cough and move on!

I wrote many essays in English with "anypony, somepony, and everypony" in place of the actual English words. Teacher didn't even notice.

[ReverseFaller 2,484]

Oh, it happens to me all the time. I'll occasionally make an obscure pony reference into a homework assignment, such as a paper or something just for the heck of it. 

[Sound Variations 264]

At my family reunion, people were talking about their childhood. So I decided to join the conversation by saying, and I quote "I remember what it was like when I was a little filly." My mind slipped up. Thankfully it wasn't that bad. All of the women thought it was cute, and as usual the guys made fun of me.

 

And yes they know I watch MLP.

[Admiral Regulus 2,769]

I've never slipped like that, but I have caught myself a few times.

 

I've seen quite a few references to MLP, recently. One of the cars in my apartment complex had a Rainbow Dash sticker on the back. I don't know whose it is, though. I've also seen a fair few people wearing pony shirts at my school. All in all, I'm proud to start seeing more and more ponies in other areas of my life. I don't know who you people are, but brohoofs to you.

I was in a play recently, I asked the costume designer if she could make my toga 20% cooler. Just came out without me knowing it!

[Oblivion 20,282]

I hear them all the time, evertime I hear "20 percent' I automaticlly think of Rainbow Dash, and everytime after it rains and I see a rainbow, why do I think of? Non other than Dashie!

My friend was talking about his Photo editing system Shutterfly, but he talks to me way too mych, so he said fluttershy..then he said "fuck it! I can't speak without a My Little Pony reference..I'll watch the show!" And now he's a brony

[ggg-2 3,555]

In Chuggaaconroy's LP of Kirby's Epic Yarn he says "Let's DASH on over to RAINBOW falls!" though that actually could have been subtly intentional since he IS allegedly a Brony!

[~*bacon princess*~ 278]

Was Rainbow Falls (the episode) named after Rainbow Falls (Kirby's Epic Yarn level)?

 

None will ever know.

[TalonIceblade 13]
