Snails Confirmed for Season Two

Poor Snails... The guy just deosn't get enough credit.  I'm pretty sure there is a genius lurking in that overly slow brain of his.


(Read from the bottom up, for those non twitter people out there)
Richard Ian Cox, the Voiceover talent behind Snails has fully confirmed his return.

Though this might not be too much of a surprise, considering both Snips and Snails did show up twice in season one.

This sort of helps Zecora out at the same time though.  She was also in two episodes, so there is a good chance that she will pop up again.

Now to figure out if Trixie will return...

Thanks to Gamebuddy for the heads up!

First?

Also great to see a real character return, and not Trixie.

I don't like that pair of idiots >__>

i wont mind trixie if she eats some humble pie

HayfeverTX said...

i hope theyre less annoying this time.

Anonymous said...

I actually think Snails is pretty funny. Snips just pisses me off from being so annoying, but Snails balances it imo.

Josh said...

Meh, didn't really like them, but it probably isn't a big appearance.

Raichu Dash said...

Well this is news.

I dont like those two

Anthony Del Pizzo said...

Besides Trixie, I'd like to see Lyra, Bon-Bon, and Derpy to actually have voice roles. If not, I'll just be glad if they'll be in season 2! :)

Flutterforever said...

I don't care for Snails too much, but I like Snips. I think the little guy is smarter than he's letting on.

Heheheheh.... I like pudding. :D

If freakin SNAILS is coming back, Trixie must be, since his only purpose in the show was to hype up Trixie.

FUCK SNAILS.

While not really being a fan of Snips or Snails...I'LL TAKE WHATEVER SEASON 2 NEWS I CAN GET

DoubleMallow said...

Snails is better than Trixie. I hope she never comes back...

frostedWarlock said...

Snails is the most important character in MLP:FiM. It's only natural he would appear again.

Davy said...

Snails is an awesome character, so no more complaining.

Snails is alright...wouldn't mind never seeing Snips again, though.

7heSama said...

Can someone please explain to me why so many people in this fandom are so enamored with random, irritating side characters? >.<

Yes, I am looking at you, Trixie...

Octavia said...

Mhm. Though I'm guessing most won't be too surprised to see him make an appearance in the second season. lol

As for Trixie. "You've not seen the last of The Great and Powerful Trixie!" *Poof!*

Anonymous said...

Eh, okay. I was hoping they'd confirm some better characters, like Cheerilee or Zecora. I don't hate Snails, but I'm indifferent about him showing up again.

Basharoonskis said...

Spike: "NNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Ah well, i'll just have to try my best to ignore his presence then.

FluffyWuffy said...

Snails remind me of Ed from EEnE. he's cool.

Snips is like a mixture of Eddy, but more retarded.

Anonymous said...

Woah woah woah, I for one love Snips and Snails and I bet they tolerate all the hate.

They fill the role set out for them perfectly, they've got their own personalities and they don't overstay their welcome. MLP:FiM wouldn't be the same without them.

Ludo said...

Hay, guise, Snails is really funny. Don't knock him.

Josh said...

@FluffyWuffy

Now they need a third member...

Anonymous said...

I hate the both of them. They lure an Ursa Minor into town (destroying a fair bit of property) and contributing to Trixie being run out of Ponyville (which, while I don't like Trixie, I understand her on stage attitude (even if it carries over off stage when it shouldn't) and the ponies really shouldn't have hated on her for doing her job. It's like if you hated on Rarity for saying 'I'm the best fashionista in Equestria' or on RD for saying 'I'm the fastest flier', it's bullshit) and then, not only do they not really get punished (only having to clean up Trixie's caravan rather than help with the whole town, they get rewarded (mustaches (to which they cry 'cool'))

That whole bumbling thing made me dislike them (and to an extent Twilight for being an idiot and encouraging that sort of stupid action), and their nasally, annoying voices, their ugly designs and the fact that they're just idiots made me hate them.

I just hope it's a quick appearance like when they do the magic show.

Display Name said...

Whaaaat? Hating on Snips just because he's meant to be the annoying character?

Clearly you all cannot comprehend the true form of Snips' character.

@Josh

And then Twist was Double-D.

Right. Snails.....

I'm excited......

As Trixie is the figure head of this site I am pretty sure she will be reappearing in season 2. :P

Blackfeathr said...

I generally don't care for them either. Snips I dislike more than Snails, because he's the stereotypical comedy relief dumb fat guy.

I dislike Snails less because for some reason he reminds me of Pinky from Pinky and the Brain.

Plus he has a funny Canadian accent.

I also hope they refine his personality so that he LOOKS and SOUNDS like he's slow, but actually he's really intelligent or something. I like twists like that.

But I guess with Snails being in S2, Snips will be there too.

SlyWit said...

DON'T KNOW IF WANT.

I hope they play a major role in another episode, like a rivalry or something in a CMC one, if only to see how this fanbase reacts.

Snips and snails ugly up the show. Do not want.

hmm, i really hope that neither trixie or gilda comes back, because if they do and they act the same way as in season one then all the fanficton that made both of them seem nice and caring will be wrong :/

by god those two back again... they were annoying as trixie's lackeys can't they just put more derpy or doctor whooves in?

Calnos said...

Quick, someone bug Kalthleen Barr (Trixie's VA)! Does she have Twitter? Website? Email?

While we're at it, lets hit up all the other VA's of minor super popular characters in a vain attempt to get more Season 2 info!

Anonymous said...

As far as Trixie making a reappearance I would consider it a high proliability given this line at the end of boast busters.

Twilight S.~"Maybe someday she will learn her lesson" directed towards Trixie implying a potential camero I'm sure.

ToonNinja said...

If there's anything these people can do, it's make fun and likable characters. Want an example? The only other enjoyable Rarity-like character I can think of off the top of my head is Major Charles Winchester from M*A*S*H.

I get the sense Snails (and I guess Snips) will have their moment to shine. Trixie and Gilda too, possibly. And, interestingly enough the character with the fewest lines out of them all, LUUUUNA!

Octavia said...

Oh, I'm sure we'll probably see Trixie again. ;)

Anonymous said...

You all seem to be forgetting the love and tolerate part...Snails is great! I'm cool with both Snips and Snails VA's and I think they try their best. If you don't like Snails then you don't like Inuyasha as well. (Same Actor)

Hocus Pocus said...

Snails and Snips remind me of "Pinky and the Brain" Specailly when snips asked him if he was thinking the same thing.

Anonymous said...

I'd take tricks over Gilda any day. Well of there had to be one over the other at least. In a perfect world, neither would return.

Killsteal_Wolf said...

I wonder what happens if Snips and Snails get more backstory to them and get a more significant role in one episode or two in the next season. They are low on popularity for sure, but there not Diamond Tiara or Silver Spoon low for me.

Anonymous said...

Snails is okay, but I hate Snips with a passion.
I want Octavia to come back.

Razyn said...

Seth... Snails was in three episodes. He was at the cute senera, performed in the talent show, and inadvertently co-ignited the entirety of the Twixie shipping.

Their Pinky and the brain reference in Boast Busters made opened me to forever enjoy their antics...

helldiver450 said...

OH come on! I know I'm supposed to be loving and tolerant, but that guy's not just retarded but annoying. The Trixie episode was annoying mainly because of those two dumb characters.

#1, their voices are annoying.

#2, they hardly ever even affect the plot.


Like, really. Where's the point in including them anymore?

Rakshata said...

yay my favorite Pinky expy is returning!
WTB the line "gee snips, what you want to do today?"

Niko Jims said...

Nothing exciting at all. Those two are characters I could go without.

ismbof said...

I actually like Snails. IDK but I just think the way he said "...it's a big one," just cracks me up. Snips never did anything that amused me. Not a fan of Snips voice either, no offense to the voice actor/actress.

Purim said...

What's with all the Snails bashing? He was barely in the episodes he appears in, and S&S are the most commonly recurring colts in the series (besides maybe the Wonderbolts, who have lines all of once). This would be like bashing the Mayor, or the Wonderbolts, or something. (IE, other minor, recurring characters).

For what it's worth, I enjoyed Snails (and Snips, they're a good double-act) and I hope that if his VA reads these, he knows that there are plenty of people who enjoy his work.

Snips and Snails were entertaining. Haters gonna hate.

Well now Luna better damn well be in season 2. I refuse to accept a world where Snails gets more screentime than Luna.

Holy cow. Ranma Saotome is Snails.

Anonymous said...

The knowledge Snails and likely Snips will be returning is terrible. They did nothing but drain away screentime from other characters. Odds are, they will be stinking up more characters episodes, again.

Hopefully Hasbro has been paying attention and will add characters people have been asking for in the seasons to come. Trixie and Zecora, if they aren't already on the way, would be a good start.

Ok for snips and snail (enough idiot to make a new good mess), but I really hope to see come back Trixie and Gilda ;) and Zecora of course!

Vermillion Twilight said...

Snips just looks gross, but Snails is ok with his Equinadian accent.

Zecora and Luna were already confirmed in previous updates to be returning in some capacity for season 2, and Trixie was confirmed NOT to be returning yet. Season 3 is the best hope for Trixie, which is cool because it gives the writers time to come up with a good story for her return.

and thus in the comments shines why this community will selfdestruct itself upon season 2 release diving itself and getting forgotten in internet obscurity

Davy said...

Background ponies that only have fan-names: tons of fan-love
Character that's only important for the first two episodes, never developed and never returned: most popular side character
one-episode side characters whose sole purpose is to act like a total jerk to the main characters: between somewhat (Gilda) to very (Trixie) popular
Recurring character that balances out the show and is genuinely entertaining: hate of the entire fandom
????????

Vermillion Twilight said...

@Davy
>Recurring character that balances out the show and is genuinely entertaining: hate of the entire fandom
????????

Or total apathy, eg; Little Strongheart, even though she's the only one who's outright showed up Rainbow Dash. Her existence isn't even acknowledged anymore among fans (no doubt partly because she's not the most cloppable character).

I expect (and in some ways kind of hope) that season 2 will alienate part of the fandom that's mired itself in fanon and is more enamored with fanfic storylines than the show itself. I'm sure complaints will go up that "it's just not as good as season 1", but more likely it just because it doesn't jive anymore with the world they've built in the gap between seasons.

I'm looking foreward to all the new characters and stories to come forth this new season. Just imagine the new ponies we'll fall in love with that we haven't even met yet! New Best Pony? New memes, new ships, new revelations? New material for PMVs, new music for remixes, etc.? Sign me up.

I honestly don't get the hate for Snails and Snips and Twist. I want more of them! If only just to bother the haters. Of course, I want more Trixie and Gilda too.

nemryn said...

If Snails is coming back, 100% chance Snips is too. Tall guy / fat guy is a classic comedy dynamic, and I'm sure that TPTB are aware of this, and know better than to break it up.

While I'm not his biggest fan, if they can make the two a little less annoying (perhaps by smartening them up a bit and giving them a purpose other than "DUUUUUUUUURRR ME SET OFF PLOT" then I'm find with them.

Anonymous said...

The thing is, background ponies have nearly no personality and therefore we can make them whatever we choose. For example Derpy was nothing more than a pegasus with weird eyes and the fanbase transformed her into the wonderful Derpy Hooves we know and love today!

The best thing to do would be to give him more screen time and show him doing something other than being thick...
