Poll Results: Best Pony Sub-Meme So Far?

The verdict is in! Looks like Trollestia wins again.  I do miss our prank playing overlord... It's a shame it died off.

No love for Rarity it looks like.  Too bad too.  Hopefully she gets something going in the future!

Onward to the next poll... after I decide on one!

Ah trollestria! Too funny.

Ten said...

Trollestia strikes again!

ShadowFox04 said...

Personally, always been a Molestia guy myself :P

TenchiFreak5 said...

I for one am pretty glad that Canterlock died off almost immediately.

Torchman said...

So the Princess triumphs over everything, with the saucy, damp manes in second. The original "socks" makes its presence, and I wish nostalgia would have won here.

ftfc said...

I'm just glad those friggin' blobs didn't win.

the invincible said...

Honestly, I've never heard of half of these.
As for new poll, how about best meltdown? Because there's been a lot of those.

MEMJ0123 said...

Lol totally saw that coming. I personally do appreciate a good, non-tyrant (can't stand the idea of Celestia being a tyrant) Trollestia joke. CANTERLOCK earned my vote, though. :P

Celestia said...

I for one welcome the slightly reduced severe Trollestia-ing, I don't send ponies to the moon for fun, not unless you're all called Blueblood now, then I might be tempted...

CityFlyer502 said...

Wow. The other memes didn't stand a chance. That's Trollestia for you. LOL

Altercation said...

Mrgh. As someone who personally hates (well, that's not true. I really, really, really, really, really, really, really dislike it) the Trollestia meme, this was a not unexpected, but all too disappointing result.

Matoro said...

I don't get how the RarityQuest was a funny meme in the first place anyway.

naahdude said...

How the christ wasn't "CONFOUND THESE PONIES" on the list?

abcd said...

when you are at voting, you should mention http://wikia2011.wikia.com/wiki/Top_10_list:Best_Wikis_of_2011 too

Vasyl said...

DAng it! wet manes are awesome xD

Narwhals' Bend said...

I remember that banner. Sad Luna is sad.

Luna said...

@Celestia

After spending some time with the good prince, I'm surprised you haven't already.

milleniummaster18 said...

ALL HAIL OUR SUPREME OVERLORD!

Rarity's on time-out, remember?

Travis Smith said...

@Celestia
Sure your done...

I was stuck between Ponys with Cars and Trollestia

New Poll idea: What show to ponyfy next
I'll leave ideas up to you all

Xiagu said...

Brushie brushie brushie~

milleniummaster18 said...

ALL HAIL OUR SUPREME OVERLORD!

Rarity's on time-out, remember?

Flutterguy said...

Ugh, I hate the Trollestia meme

SgtGarand said...

I love Celestia, and will admit some of the Trollestia jokes were forced and/or bad to begin with, but when done right they were pretty hilarious

Travis Smith said...

@Luna
As one bashed moon dweller to another, I recommend the northern pole, where there is ice

Octavia said...

I was wondering when you were going to announce this one. Guess you had to create that silly banner first. :P I knew when I voted she would win. I voted Trollestia. But I was torn between the socks and wet mane ponies too. And blobs are adorable. <3

shadowfalcon76 said...

It was a tough choice between CANTERLOCK and Pony Cars for me. In the end, I flipped a coin.

Niko said...

For some reason I thought wet manes and Canterlock were going to get many more votes.

Sgt Byrd said...

@Rasrap Smurf

Canterlock = Luna talking in caps lock.

Flutterfan said...

I like Trollestia but it's gotten to the point where it overshadows the actual character.

Rasrap Smurf said...

@Flutterguy

Nice to see I'm not the only one!

Anonymous said...

Rariquest is still the best.

DarkRaven22 said...

@Altercation Agreed. I personally voted for the Rarity Marshmellow one.

Flootahshai said...

Molestia would have won if she were in the poll...

boston2004 said...

not surprised trollestia won
new poll idea-
how about best episode of season 2 so far since we're waiting a while for the next one?

I'm a shark said...

Magneto is best pony meme.

Mr. Sandcolt said...

Personally Molestia is my favorite =3

Kesono said...

Never been much of a fan of the Trollestia meme due to it's eventual repetitiveness and forced nature.

That being said I enjoyed many chuckles over the more original uses of the meme.

Kesono said...

@Flutterfan

That too, the Trollestia meme albeit funny at times, has tarnished how some of us see Celestia a bit.

symphonyskies said...

New poll idea- best movie ponified?
(Got idea from pmv the other day)
Such as...
Sherlock holmes (pinkamena holmes)
Batman (something along the lines of mare do well)
...can't think of anything else... ideas?

Mike said...

lol, trollestia's not the best meme, she's just trollin' you guys. I personally prefer that exploitable with Fluttershy holding a TV.

next poll possibly?

Which bit of falsified fanon do you most wish was left untouched?
I.E.
Lyra -> Heartstrings and other fanon name changes, or maybe disproved facets of Equestria's background history

...or perhaps which bit of fanon would you most prefer to see made canon?
I.E.
Derpy and Carrot Top as 'I-Emptied-Your-Fridge' roommates

Scout said...

I miss the old banners with the Purple Tinker font
and socks
and the old archive system
and the old buttons
*sigh*
onward to the future T_T

SoulSilver IV said...

WET MANE PONIES Y U NO WIN?

Nameless said...

Voted other for the ponies in real life meme

Masquerade said...

After seeing the poll, it took me a good hour to realize that Canterlock was indeed NOT the lock in Canterlot Castle that Celestia opened with her horn. Looks like Trollestia wins again.

*hipster frames*
I voted for Rarityquest.

One last thing: Does anyone here like bananas?

Sandoval said...

voted for trollestia

Viridian said...

WE DEMAND TO KNOW WHY THE ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE RECEIVED SUCH DISRESPECT!!

*winces, plugs ears* Ow. That came out a bit louder than expected...

Travis Smith said...

@Masquerade
Do YOU like banannas, cause I got some in my ah, my banana bag

Masquerade said...

@Travis Smith
Um... Ah... I-I don't know. I think I'll just-

anname219 said...

For the next poll how about scariest pony?
Twilight (rape face) Sparkle
Or Pinkamena Diane Pie

symphonyskies said...

Voted for trollestia (do you like bananas?)

Luke said...

She's not a troll :(

Masquerade said...

@anname219
Molestia. Hands down. That, or Flutterrage.

Greenypony said...

@abcd

Lmao that's awesome :)

Travis Smith said...

@Masquerade
So your um Bee-yetch that doesn't know if you like bananas, well I know where you can find out
*your plunged in giant cannon*
On the MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONNNNNNNN!

Aeleos said...

@naahdude
Secret butt fun :D
Is that seriously a meme?

Travis Smith said...

@Aeleos
It was something from a picture of the mane six drunk at a bar an Pinkie said in the comments about a restroom sign

naahdude said...

@Aeleos

Yeah man. Back in S1, after an episode would end, this magical shit would play during the credits.

Kyle_Katarn said...

y u no include juicebox?

Magnus the Blue said...

The next poll should be "what should we do for the next poll" and then list a bunch of options.

Fluffy said...

The hell is "Rarityquest," anyways? Sounds like an obscure Japanese RPG.

Drüd said...

I would have voted for Molestia, but Trollestia had to do.

Radimir said...

You misspelled 'worst', Seth.

Though, I suppose one must naturally assume that it's all crap when discussing memes.

IkkouSoryu said...

Well of course. Trollestia is the best thing to come out of this community. Or the show, for that matter.

Also wtf to people complaining about "Trollestia overshadows the actual character". Really? If you sum up all her scenes you get maybe ten minutes of screentime. A lot of character building right here. It doesn't help that most of it comes from "Bird in the hoof"
where she's trolling en large.

"All you had to do is ask" (lololol I TROL U)

Senior Waffles said...

Rarity may be best pony (of the mane six) but we're talkin' memes here. It's almost like the writers are doing it on purpose for Trollestia. Most of the user created comics and tumblrs I see for Trollestia are really well done and almost always gets a lol out of me so it should be best meme.

Dusklight said...

Hi Sethisto!

Interesting poll as always! I favoured the ponies with vehicles though because that would be awesome!

Anyways, I have a suggestion for the next poll. Perhaps we could have a OTP (One True Pairing) poll as I think that that would be intriguing and I think that everyone has an opinion on pairings.

My most profuse apologies if this offends anyone.

Doc Steedly said...

Really, I like wet manes the best. I loved Trollestia at first, but I feel she has been getting too bad a rap for it, although she is still most hilarious.

Who am I kidding. I love Celly, but I do miss Trollestia too. *sigh* I'm sorry Princess.

Altercation said...

@IkkouSoryu
So, rather than the characters, the comics, the fan games or even the episodes themselves, it's Trollestia that's the best thing to come out of this fandom?

Honestly, I'd go through my usual categorical refute of A Bird In A Hoof suggesting anything close to "Trollestia", but at this point I'm not going to waste time with what comes across to me as a blatant troll post.

I mean, I'm at a loss how you can mock people for thinking that Trollestia has overshadowed Celestia and then at the end of it declare how valid it is.

MiColt said...

::cough:: Wet Manes WAS a Rarity thing at first. ::cough::

Qsteel said...

what the shit is up with the wet manes

IkkouSoryu said...

@Altercation

U mad?
Do you like bananas?

As for my mocking, yes, it ticks me off that certain people try to stamp their own personal impression of Celestia like a gold standard and canon.

Celestia never had an episode dedicated to her character, yet somehow my interpretation of her as bored monarch prankster is "wrong" and the other one is "right".

Mr. Shiny Object said...

Poll Idea: Which job of the mane 6 would you want

librarian/student, farmer, vet, dress maker, pastry chef, or weatherman.

Red-Supernova64 said...

Welp, seeing that Trollestia has won the poll, it pretty much shows that Equestria Daily is nothing more than a anti-alicorn website.(except for alicorns named Luna that is.)

So I'll just be leaving these here:

DeRockProject said...

I would've voted Worst. Possible. Thing.

Mike said...

@Fluffy

It's derived from the story of how Rarity got her cutie mark.

Mike said...

@Kyle_Katarn

Good point. It seems like we could do a whole other poll with all the memes Seth forgot.

Mike said...

@Mr. Shiny Object

Fantastic idea! An 'other' category might be needed though

Sgt Byrd said...

Canterlock I can understand people not knowing, as Google even fails at it. But how can people not find out what Rarityquest was, it's the first result in Google for the term rarityquest.

Brodyquest is the original, then Rarity did her scene where she was dragged to the rock and someone decided to mix the two.

Kinda like Pinkiequest, but not as awesome.

Flutterfan said...

I'm actually quite fond of Trollestia because it was one of the first recurring jokes of the fandom I encountered.

But it makes me sad because I really like Princess Celestia as a character, she's so sweet but there is never any honest discussion about Celestia anymore. Everything is from the Troll angle, she had a nefarious reason for doing this or doing that.

As opposed to say Pinkie who is the butt of many cupcakes jokes but it's not to the point where all the Pinkie discussion is about her being a killer.

123stw said...

I still think Scootaloo Chicken is best Chicken.

Arlax said...

Trollestia... *sigh* I suppose it's what people liked. It made a lot of harm to the actual (and no troll) Celestia.

Anthony said...

Anthony said...

@Arlax I disagree. I think if anything it enhanced Celestia and made her more interesting. It definitely made me like Celestia more.

I'm amazed I found you again, Arlax! I remember just the other week I replied to your comment when you said that Trollestia was annoying you, and some other bronies. This poll clearly proves that Trollestia is very well-liked.

Glutton said...

Please visit my blog containing ponies galleries http://wearebronies.pl and thank you a lot.

Trollestia FTW!

SovBrony said...

I wonder how would Luna-tards react if there was a meme making Luna look bad.


I hate you idiotic Memes. right next to Cupcakes and the stupid Shipping, the memes are the worst thing to come out of this Fandom.

G.Buddell said...

Sweaters, I am disappoint.

leictreon said...

i couldn't disagree more...

We all know Socks or Sweaters are the best meme. Trollestia needs to die already.

IkkouSoryu said...

Wow, I didn't know trollestia induced so much butthurt in some fans.

Oh well, haters gonna hate.

Rayne said...

I love me some Rarity any day, but Trollestia will always special place in my heart. Even if people may not enjoy the memes, I felt it was one of the original memes to help spur on MLPs popularity in the early days and make the fandom much more enjoyable to this odd demographic.

Since the fanbase has imploded, tastes have spread far and wide too so I guess I see why not everyone's going to like it, but hey that doesn't stop those that enjoy it. At least most of Trollestia seems to play with ideas that help 'explain' the show even if it's not what was intended, it's still hilarious as a light joke at the end of the day and doesn't have to impact her real character in any way.

Finghost said...

@Anthony
This poll doesn't really show how many of us actually dislike that meme, only how many like it. It's possible there is more of people who dislike it than those who like it.

IMO it's kinda annoying to see such great character beeing shown that way, but I don't blame the guys who think it's funny.

IkkouSoryu said...

>Knows Twilight has 5 friends
>Sends 2 tickets

>Knows that Fluttershy cares for all animals
>Puts sick-looking bird on display

>Tired as hell of Grand Galloping Gala
>Invites 6 hyperactive ponies to wreak havoc

>Twilight&Co save Luna from Nightmare Moon
>Luna is never seen again (Okay, until season 2)

One thing I liked and still like about trollestia jokes is that they add depth and humanize bland-looking ruler/mentor figure that is Celestia. They also make her look intelligent and meticulous since her pranks are very subtle.

Usually in cartoons mentor figures are uninteresting infallible paragons of virtue. MLP avoided that pitfall, fortunately.

Flyinpenguin117 said...

Next poll: What heavy metal band would you like to see record for MLP?
I say Avenged Sevenfold.

leictreon said...

oh well, at least is wasn't Molestia...

TheMostWonderfulTime said...

https://www.facebook.com/molestiatrollu

Trollestia lives.

Blayze Kohime said...

@ShadowFox04 I couldn't agree more. Trollestia never puts out!
