• Poll Results: Best Side Pony

    Sure, vote for the two characters that have a whopping three lines of dialogue total between the both of them.

    I can't wait until Derpy and Luna come back during season two as the grown up equivalents of Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara, or Snips and Snails....  Wont THAT be hilarious!

    Inb4 Trixie won't appear at all in season two, there I saved you the trouble of typing it.

    Confound these bronies.... Trixie is sad now.  She doesn't even boast anymore. 

    Anyway next poll, also found at the same spot: Which episode turned you into a brony?

    8. if they don't have trixie next season as Twilight's rival under Luna's tutelage, they will seriously be missing a great chance for a funny episode.

    9. Personally I feel Luna shouldn't have been in this poll simply because she was in the other one.

    14. Trixie will be in season 2. I am 100% sure of it.

      I wonder about Gilda though... Doubtful.

      And Little Strongheart would be epic, but what are the chances of that?

    15. What episode made me a fan of this show?
      Well, it went sort of like this:

      I watched the first episode.
      Then I watched the second episode.
      Then I watched the third.
      Fourth.
      Then I had to sleep because it was getting early in the morning.
      Then I watched the rest of them up to episode 16.
      And then waited each Friday.

      So I guess I vote for the first episode?

    20. I'm probably going to be the lone vote for "Over a Barrel" in this poll. It happened to be the first episode I saw. No fault of my own.

      ReplyDelete
    21. I am quite anxious and at the same time fearful of the return of the Moon Princess in season 2.

      Anxious in that she's my favorite, can't explain it, she just is. Think it's the, "I messed up, please don't hate me." angle of it. Fearful in that they will completely mess up her character compared to the fandom depiction of her.

      TLDR: I for one welcome our new Lunar overlord's return.

      ReplyDelete
    22. Is there any way -- any way at all -- to make the polls allow multiple answers? :U

    23. wow, seth, profoundly pissed much?

      Luna forever!

      my brony-dom came about from lots of little thing from ep 1 and 2 but twi's line "tell me she's not..." sealed the deal.

      ReplyDelete
    24. Also "Best Night Ever" is missing a letter at the end of its poll entry.

    25. Was I happy to see that my favorite stallion, who was excluded from the first poll in place of some lesser lights, come in fourth in this poll?

      Eeyup!!

    26. That sucks tho I voted for Colgate, I still think trixe deserves a part in season two.

    29. Seth, watch Trixie become Luna's studient and become a rival to Twilight in Season 2...

      But yeah, My favorite pony got #1 last time, and my #2 Pony got #1 this time. Go Fluttershy and Luna <3.

    30. >Trollestia has more votes than Octavia

      EqD, I am disappoint.

    31. I picked Episode 1 for the new poll, but actually a YTP is what turned me into a brony.

      "My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic provides a realistic representation of life in Ponyville"

      ReplyDelete
    32. I can't believe Celestia is so low on this list. How disappointing.

      The Solar Deliberative must take action.

      ReplyDelete
    33. I would be fine with never seeing Trixie again.

      Anyway, I think it would be more interesting to have a poll about characters that actually did something in the show, and not the ones who barely exist in anything more than fanon.

      ReplyDelete
    34. I don't know about being Luna's student, but I really hope she comes back as Twi's rival in S2. I voted for Trixie, but right away I knew Luna would win.

    36. what can we say? Fanfics have made Luna into pure awesomeness. And Ditzy? She's, well, Ditzy. People lOve her. Not sure why, but they do.

    38. I agree with some guy above.
      Zecora does need more love.

      On the poll I say 'twas the first episode.
      To say anything else would be a total load.

    39. No Roseluck? Wut.
      Poor Zecora ;_; Kinda glad Luna won, though...

      ReplyDelete
    42. I'm obviously loyal to Luna, but Celestia is easily my second favorite character. She's brilliantly voiced and written.

      I think that you need to have more specific polls:
      -Background characters
      -Secondary characters (which have an official name and lines)

      ReplyDelete
    43. @Anonymous
      Ditto here, fuck her :p

      Aaanyway, for the eps, it really varies. I first watched the beginning of the first episode, stopped before the end, but couldn't keep Twilight voice (especially her part in Fluttershy's intro dialog) out of my head, which pushed me to watch it again later that day.
      By the third episode, when the benny hill part started, that's where I became a full brony.

      ReplyDelete
    44. Well, I voted for Lyra, who got a whopping ZERO lines, so... Meh...

      ReplyDelete
    45. Concerning the next poll, I ended up doing the idiot's method and just chose the first episode title that caught my eye as the most interesting at first, and watched Swarm of the Century as my gateway into Brony-hood.

      Was hooked off of watching that one episode, then proceeded to watch the rest in chronological order.

    52. I was a late bloomer to FiM. I came in sometime in March ( currently episode at the time was 20, Green isn't your color ) but I watched them from Episode 1 to 20 instead from start to finish so I wouldn't get caught up and wondering on what the heck as going on.

      ReplyDelete
    53. The next poll should be which mane six pony is your favorite.

      ReplyDelete
    54. Let's see, I caught "Green Isn't Your Color" on the HUB after some joke on MemeBase. Enjoyed it.
      So went to youtube started watching from Episode 1.
      Was fully hooked with 'Pinkie Le Pew' bouncing after Rainbow Dash in "Griffon the Brush-Off".
      But I think I went full Brony with "Winter Wrap Up" (the point it went from 'fun show' to 'must have a pony figure!')

      Zecora has not gotten, does not get, nor will EVER get much love because of her awful, awful, AWFUL hair. Seriously. Even punk rock has all but abandoned the mohawk at this point.

      Unless we can *brushie, brushie* you will get no *lovey, lovey*

      ReplyDelete
    65. No love for Scratch. :(

      Why do I always go for the barely canon characters with little to no characterization? Answer: because it makes it that much easier to ship them with Dash.

    66. Re new poll: The Rarity episodes. She had been one of my least favorite, but those songs... and her little temper tantrums... >.>

      Old poll: Goooo Derpy!

      ReplyDelete
    67. Poor Scratch, I really hoped she'd win.

      I picked "Ticket Master" because the first two episodes didn't do anything for me (and going completly Sailor Moon at the end was lame) but Ticket Master was where it started getting good.

      Buuut, it's not how I got into the show, that would be the "My Little Pony Epic" PMV http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=irQ_d78feMA . Someone linked to it on FA and I ended up playing it over and over and over, etc.

    72. That poll result was entirely your fault Seth.

      I just realized what pony TRIXIE was as you misspelled her name horribly. Nopony knew who the hell that was because they were looking for The Great and Powerful Trixie!

      (I voted for derpy)

      ReplyDelete
    73. I didn't vote because I couldn't decide between Spitfire and Scratch.

      As for which episode turned my into a brony... I don't know. It wasn't a single episode. It was more of a process. I downloaded the first 10 episodes from TPB and just started watching. I had great fun and when I watched Swarm of the Century (the last episode I downloaded) I just knew I should get the other 5 episodes that were available at the time. I don't know which episode made me a brony. All I know is that I started watching from the first episode and never stopped until I reached the last one I had on my computer.

    74. nooooooooooo Trixie will be in season 2 she must be !!!!!

    75. Trixie should be happy she got as much as she did after being such a bloated braggart. Octavia, Lyra, and Spitfire all deserve more.

      ReplyDelete
    76. @Anonymous I happened upon a YTP featuring Fluttershy and found Dragonshy first, that got me hooked. Fluttershy was my favorite until I saw Sonic Rainboom, after that RD took the lead.

      ReplyDelete
    77. I watched episode one just to know what the fuss was about. Then that mighty cliffhanger at the end of it compelled me to watch episode two. I think Pinkie Pie's "It was under eee~heee" is what then made me a Brony ^^

      Also yay Derpy!

      ReplyDelete
    78. i didn't vote because i don't see linky :\

      ReplyDelete
    79. I remember back when I was first introduced to the series via Dragonshy, I liked the episode, but wasn't blown away, so I just filed it away in the back of my mind.

      Then a few weeks later, I made a completely unrelated trip over to /b/, saw the /b/ronies, was a troll for a few days (while being confused as to why I was saving some pony pics) until I saw a few people saying Dragonshy was the worst episode to start with (there were only like 10 episodes at the time. Before there were CMC episodes, Dragonshy probably was)

      The next friday, I decide to give it another go. That week's episode was Winter Wrap-Up.

      AND THEN I WAS BRONY.

    80. When is one a Brony?
      I found no sharp devide, and thus I have trouble naming an episode as the turning point.

      ReplyDelete
    81. While I don't care that much about losing Trixie, I do feel that for the type of show MLP is, even the background characters should be somewhat recurring.

      Maybe not Gilda, as she is a bitch. Trixie is also a bitch, but she's narcissistic too. That gives her seniority.

      ReplyDelete
    82. I didn't vote because I couldn't choose.

      They're all great.

      ReplyDelete
    83. I Enjoyed DragonShy even tho it was a Fluttershy episode the others still appeared

      What i really enjoyed was the Charlie's Angels Montage
      Imagine Kick Buttowski + Ponies...

      But they pretty much already did that in the last episode at the beginning of it
      Just watch it
      http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H57Zo1PySrs

      Would love a sideseries or spinoff show where it's more action oriented >:)

      ReplyDelete
    84. While I watched the first episode and kinda liked it, the second one made me go "wait, what?! This is the second episode and the plot is over???" And I was not further thrilled by this. I kept watching though and was surprised to find it got better and didn't jump the shark. Though after ticket master I was just about ready to lose my interest and drop it.

      But by this point I had grown a liking for Rainbow and was starting to get the notion that Sonic Rainboom was about something really cool Rainbow related. So while I kept watching it chronologically, strictly speaking the episode that turned me brony was Sonic Rainboom, even before I watched it or knew what it was about.

      ReplyDelete
    85. No GaPTrixie? T_T

      Well, I found MLPFiM off of Adamwestslapdog's channel's favorites. I had NO idea what is was and clicked on the first episode. I made it all the way to the theme song before turning it off in fear... Weeks later I saw he Favorited the episode where it shows how everypony in the mane six got their cutie marks and I suffered through that. By the end of it I wasn't as freaked out as I was in the beginning, so I watched the episodes in order. Right about the episode Winter Wrap Up was where I learned I was a Brony. :D

      ReplyDelete
    86. K when i first watched DragonShy i was like...Perfect Material For Parodies

      I Found out about FIM the cool way via PONYCRAFT 2 and was like wtf they nuts xD? What i enjoyed was how the sync worked perfectly i watched the Parodies for like 2 days and i must tell you...if MLP didn't have parodies i wouldn't be interrested in it

      But there's one episode which parodies itself...
      And that would be Briddle Gossip
      I Really wasn't expecting FlutterShy to have a black mans voice and even more hear it for 30 seconds singing Smooth Jazz in Pinkie's WIP Song for Zecora

      Eh, its kinda like that survey that was recently posted here asking "Do you consider yourself normal?"

      Just like "normal" everypony is going to have a slightly different personal definition of the word "Brony", and thus a different criteria for the episode that "made" them one.

      Some might qualify it as the first episode they saw, some might say it was the episode that made them want to watch ALL the others, and still others might define it as what episode first got them to come to a dedicated fansite like Equestria Daily, etc, etc....
