TV Listings Make Hilarious Mistake


In honor of this series of hilarious typos, I propose a new name for this episode:


"And Then Rainbow Dash Was a Colt," and Ten Other Really Awkward Stories

At least all the shipping stories would make sense now if RD was a colt.

AtomicBrony said...

I approve of this idea.

Shiki01 said...

Poor Rainbow. Poor, poor rainbow.

Fadhil Anshar said...

OH ONDEMAND. YOU SO SILLY. *INITIATES FALCON PUNCH*

crazyredemu said...

Might want to put the pic after the page break so people trying to avoid knowing stuff a head of time don't get tackled.

Inkan1969 said...

I really hope it's just a typo, and not something like Hasbro making the MLP crew change RD to a boy.

JitteryJoe said...

@Dublio
Maybe it's just the friends I keep, but the current ones make perfect sense to me already :P

Hilarious typos though ^_^

Octavia said...

Oh, that silly Rainbow Dash... pretending to be the opposite sex and all... and I'm okay with this. Lawl.

But seriously, it is pretty funny. Wonder who the heck typed that out. XD

DashFan686 said...

Definetely tuning into the stream when it comes out

EonMaster said...

Talk about one major typo xD

Don't Call Me Brony (Please) said...

You all will be so surprised when Rainbow Dash has her sex reassignment surgery in the season finale and officially turns the series into a moe harem show.

Nelliel Tu Odelschwanck said...

funny how the keep calling her as "his" and "he"

Must be Brazilian TV listings or something.

Greenf0x said...

MUST MAKE THEM PAY< MY DASHIE IS NOT A HE!!!

Hio590 said...

These pony puns are slowly killing me

Mattatatta said...

It's funny that the listing uses more instances of 'he' than necessary, as if to make it as obvious as possible.

NoXogz said...

First polish Spitfire, then brazilian Rainbow Dash and now TV Listings?

Is...is this a thing now?

Turning female characters into males i mean.

anname219 said...

*RainbowDash facehoof*
What the BUCK!? I am disappoint...

Arothyss said...

Arothyss approves of this.

Spark Cloud said...

WHAT?! Rainbow dash is FEMALE?! Wow... That hits hard...

Sareth said...

Well, looks like somepony will be spending winter vacation on the moon...

Brian said...

I do not like the sound of this. I swear if they do to Dash what they did to Twilight in Lesson Zero there will be much ranting.

Gemini said...

I bet Brazil has something to do with this.

anname219 said...

TV lister: TROLOLOLOLO! They noticed!

hypnotix666 said...

Trollololololololololol hahaha aha!!!!!!! Lol
But really, why my favorite Pony guy?

Bombedrumbum said...

I remember watching "Suited for Success" and the description called Rarity a he as well

mrsteroids said...

I BLAME THE SPANISH VERSION!

soan said...

Season 3 the mane 6 will all be males.

HeroInferno said...

BRB, Writing my first fanfic, that new title Seth suggested inspired me!

kwj said...

at this rate everypony will turn into males

Temporal Walker said...

And then Dash was Rainbow Blitz for an episode.

Gemini said...

Looks like the hub is attempting to make RD straight in all of the fan-fics by transforming her into a he.

Sketch Pad said...

Because Spike is the new Rainbow Dash

Gemini said...

Who bets that the masked mare is going to have a VA gender mess up?

ventuz said...

@csos95
It's not HUB, it's Verizon

Kadreal said...

Hey to be fair, I thought Rainbow was a guy for almost the entire first episode. Until someone used a feminine pronoun for her. At which point I was all like, "Did they just call him a girl??..... ooooohhhhhhhh I get it now."

neon tornado said...

it would be funny but... shes my wife

Ahau said...

I lol'd

But seriously, it's not that surprising to get confused if you're a casual viewer. Hell, my sister thought RD was a male in "Ticket Master".

Besides, last week's episode pretty much made Dash manlier than many of us bronies.

But i still think RD sounds like a girl in the brazilian dub.

ViewtifulSteve said...

More gender-bending? Sweet Celestia, who's next?

HeroInferno said...

@Cereal Velocity
OH CRAP! I just noticed my mistake, Sorry Cereal.

voodooblue said...

Same summary showed up in the verizon iPad app, pretty funny!

@NoXogz

@Gemini

I think you didn't read the note that EqqD posted on that silly gossip. Rainbow Dash is not a colt in Brazil, they still refer to her in the brazilian version as "she", "her", etc.

She just have a tomboyish voice in brazilian version.

Andthoro said...

This is going to be a recurring thing, isn't it?

Maz said...

To be honest,

When I first saw her, I thought RD might be a young boy...

Gemini said...

@Petra LeãoI know that but its still funny to me.

RedEnchilada said...

I saw a picture of another listing that looked just like this one, but with some of the VAs listed.

Andrew Libman.

daddyboom said...

It seems even the television isn't safe from rule 63

Mikail said...

Next thing you know, Rainbow will be voiced by Sean Schemmel

Fluttershy Lover said...

Oh, Celestia, What will they mess up next?

Kenko706 said...

And this is what happens when Rainbow Dash doesn't listen to Twilight Sparkle and goes to the Byankala region of China anyway.

FluffyWuffs said...

TROLL HARDER FIOS TV!!!

FG said...

"When Rainbow Dash discovers that [...], so he [...]."

Dat grammar.
Looks more like a Google Translate fail to me. xD

Travis Smith said...

And the world just keeps on killing me... WHAT DID I DO?!?

atzel said...

People, people! It's not a typo if it's systematically wrong. Someone consistently getting a character's gender wrong through-out a body of text and not getting it right even once, that's the work of someone who just haven't been paying attention.

Travis Smith said...

First the war on Rainbow Dash shipping and now one on technical errors? Sending all available Black Hawks and Nukes.

abr4 said...

Y U NO SPOILER THIS CEREAL!?

New ep is due tomorrow, I didn't want to read this.

LittleJoeRambler said...

Rainbow Dash does not approve.

Although I have to admit, the new season 2 intro does make Rainbow sound much more masculine than she did in the season 1 intro.

Emma Iveli said...

@Kenko706

*falls over laughing*
I was planning to make a Ranma joke too... nothing I could write would be able to top that.

S_E_F said...

In addition there's a grammar error.
"When (event), so he(action)"

EquineNoxX said...

Oh silly Discord, how'd you get employment at The Hub, making the episode summary graphics thingy?

Also, you know she's a tree right? ;)

scienceandponies said...

I blame Brazil and Zoidberg.

GaruuSpike said...

ROFL I saw this on my own TV listings. I thought they would fix it, but.... macintoshnope.wav

Phluorescent said...

@Petra Leão

Oh good golly gosh really?

I assume you didn't understand that my post was a joke so I'll set the record straight: It was a joke.

Travis Smith said...

@Travis Smith
Don't forget the command codes for the Russian nukes, and the hack keys.

Necromanteion said...

It's also the same on AT&T's U-verse >.>

DXLelouch said...

now i know its not true Andrew Libman is a friken businessman(who the hell is responsible for screwing this up)

XyroTR1 said...

Pretty damn hilarious, mine has it too!

XyroTR1 said...

Also, whoever took that picture really needs to update their firmware... the new stuff has been out for a while! Or get one of the new boxes... they're legit!

Omar said...

too many hes and his O-o

XyroTR1 said...

By the way, the description is FULL of Engrish as well. Check the full one in my post a couple comments up. It's rather humorous.

Twilight_Sparkle said...

Oh.. My poor dash girl not dude

Ashton said...

>>EquineNoxX said...
>>Also, you know she's a tree right? ;)
>>

I thought fluttershy was the tree...?

I do wonder what this person's impression of RD is after "he" is in a dress numerous times... X)

Though to be fair, with RD's attitude and voice, it's easy to make the mistake it took me half-way through Twlight's meeting with RD in epp 1 to realize RD was female.

ict12irvin said...

Atleast shipping Dash with another mare would make more sense

DeRockProject said...

Oh god, I don't mind the other mistakes, but I might have to kill someone because OH GOD THAT GRAMMAR!!!

When Rainbow Dash[...], so he[...].
When Rainbow Dash[...], so he[...].
When Rainbow Dash[...], so he[...].


I can't get it outta my head!!!

Jonny Manz said...

I already reported about this on the MLP:FiM wiki about a week ago (I'm a frequent contributor, and have FiOS) but some idiots (anonymous users) didn't understand, and kepy trying to gender correct RD, so we eventually had to remove it. I took a picture of my TV screen and everything.

Beefcube said...

Ah! I took this picture! And it's on EQD!

Yay.

@XyroTR1

Haha, yeah, I'll get on that. And thanks for putting up a full synopsis.

I think MtBPW fucked them up.

Gold Demona said...

I'm not sure what's funnier.
The gender-confused description or the fact that my husband recognized the football game behind it. (Arkansas vs LSU) XD

Petra Leão said...

@Phluorescent

Oh I can see the love and toleration here and now ^_^

Ok, thanks for the explanation anyway =P

Spikely Whiplash said...

@Bombedrumbum

BRB, dubbing Rarity in Episode 14 over with Stephen Magnet's voice.

(no I'm not)

GabuEx said...

All of a sudden I don't feel so bad for calling Scootaloo a "he" in my latest video for MLI.

Rockabore said...

Pinkie Pie did call her a He at the end of "May the Best Pet Win" when she said, "He did say that!"

2007excalibur2007 said...

I guess mistaking Rainbow Dash for a male is something that's simply unavoidable...

Oh Dashie, you and your tomboy-ish personality.

princess-luna said...

That's just an epic fail, how could they've been so silly writing that?

milleniummaster18 said...

I knew Pinkie Pie didn't make a mistake, she really said "he"!

Teacher Miguel said...

Guys, you do remember that Spike is the new Rainbow Dash, right?

Azure said...

@Teacher Miguel Aha! You're right, that's not a thing that stopped being true or anything.

Mike said...

""And Then Rainbow Dash Was a Colt," and Ten Other Really Awkward Stories"

^I approve of this

Demon Donkey said...

RD obviously had a sex change operation between episodes. Happens all the time.

Dr_Vulpine said...

I smell a Trixie tampering!

Mike said...

I sometimes make the mistake of thinking Dashie is a guy too, but the other grammatical mistakes are just reprehensible.

David Larsen said...

Pinkie Pie calls her a 'he', then male voice actor, then this... What?

ElChrisman99 said...

This looks like something ran through google translate.....

ponponpinkie said...

LOLWUT.

oh tv listings....you so silly :P

Tritone said...

@Dublio

>Implying that homosexual relationship has no sense.

...
Really?

Also, Petra defending us Brazilians. Heh... Nice to see people hanging around EqD.

pencilman222000 said...

Our listing was very short, and used a fancy word I've never seen before!

Caedyn Danow said...

Hey look, they agree with me on RD's real gender! Now to convince them of Scoot's manhood.
