MAD TV Pony Parody Happening on Monday!


It looks like we can expect some pony parody ridiculous on this coming Monday.  They actually did one a while back with Cowboys and Aliens that was actually pretty well made, so I'm looking forward to this one. 

I can't really see Twilight Sparkle taking a warhorse role... maybe Applejack or Big Mac. 

And I bet 25 cents we will see a Derpy. 

Check out Tara's Twitter page for the source!

omg that's gonna be awesome

DemiMondaine said...

I just hope it isn't as drab and tasteless as the last MAD pony parody

Flutterfan said...

MAD does stuff on the Cartoon Network?

HoverHoof said...

This is always welcone

ftfc said...

Ugh We don't care for the show AT ALL.

Flutterfan said...

Oh wow, Tara Strong is going to be voicing the parody Twilight Sparkle. Now that's gonna be interesting.

CityFlyer502 said...

I was there when Tara put out the tweet. Can't wait to see what happens. Cartoon Network is gonna see their ratings spike Monday night if I'm not mistaking!

Derpy Brony said...

Hmm, let's see how this goes.

jodyjm13 said...

Normally I wouldn't give a flying fickle finger of fate about MADtv, even with ponies, but if Tara Strong is telling me to watch it, then watch it I shall.

MyBoyJ said...

@Flutterfan

Yeah, I watched a couple episodes, but it doesn't seem to know what audience its trying to get. It has parodies of movies like 2012, that kids probably haven't seen, but the parody is lame so adults wouldn't enjoy it.

Travis Smith said...

My faith in T.V is back
Spy vs. Spy is the best skit of all

Smashmatt202 said...

Of course, not everyone likes MAD, so your mileage may vary.

Impious said...

Not taking a war horse role? Twilight is OP, she can do whatever she wants.

Fin said...

*HOOFSLAMS down 25 cents* YOUR ON!

Travis Smith said...

@MyBoyJ
That's the thing about MAD, most of it seems kiddy but it has a lot of adult themed things. I'm pretty sure EqD has a fair number of Adventure Time fans.
If you ever see one of the old magazines you'd know what I mean

SouthParkTaoist said...

MAD is good as a magazine and the old live action sketch MAD is good. I really want to like the new MAD since they make so many references but for some reason it doesn't feel like it works. A good example of a show that can do that is Robot Chicken. But MAD tv is not a Robot Chicken. Tom's MAD blog is awesome though, if you are interested in traditional cartooning and old school comics.

MyBoyJ said...

Is the shout out to Bronies a secret if she's telling the world about it?

stringtheory said...

somepony needs to livestream it

Lupinator said...

Hi Ho, Twilight, AWAY!!!!

DrNazus said...

A part of me feels this needed to be done.

DashAttack said...

Of course, I'll be at work that night. I'll end up getting home just after MAD ends. :(

TO THE DVR!

Yellow 13 said...

Oh man, will I subject myself to MAD or just wait for it to show up on youtube?

MyBoyJ said...

@Travis Smith

I love Adventure Time and Regular Show too. I've also read quite a few MAD magazines and old books from the 70's. I enjoyed quite a lot of it.

The show on the other hand, airs during "kids prime time" and has sketches like "Keeping up with the Car-Crashians" a parody of Keeping up with the Kardashians. A show that airs at 8:30 PM seems geared to kids maybe ages 8-12 who don't watch reality shows and wouldn't understand the reference.

Travis Smith said...

DAMITTTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I just realized I've yet to see War Horse and it could ruin any type of plot points.

DAMMMITTTT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

autobotgodzilla said...

*Sigh* I can only just barely love and tolerate that MAD show. They've had maybe three funny sketches in their run so far.

Destroyer said...

Man now I have to watch t.v and I forgot were I left that thing....

Dr. Rarity said...

MAD TV is still a thing? I thought they cancelled that show ages ago.

Fridge Logic said...

This would be much better if MAD wasn't the rat's rear end of modern cartoons.

Dantes_Grill said...

Hope I can youtube it afterwards.

Travis Smith said...

@MyBoyJ
True most young kids don't really watch reality shows, but this new generation is being raised on all these werid ways.
But the references are pretty well made.
Also Marceline is my favorite character from AT

MyBoyJ said...

@Dr. Rarity

This is a different show just called MAD. It's a cartoon show on Cartoon Network. The cancelled one is the Saturday Night Live ripoff sketch comedy show.

CityFlyer502 said...

The show isn't entirely bad. Granted, I only watch it if I see something interesting in the show description. The last parody they did wasn't too bad. It's actually one of many things that steered me towards ponies.

MyBoyJ said...

@Travis Smith

I like the Ice King. He makes Pinkie Pie look normal.

Derpestia said...

Actually on the thundercat's episode they did have a dash meme at the wall :3

Yellow 13 said...

I'm connecting to the internet with my mind.

DarthMaul22 said...

Yeah, because I'll totally be able to watch that from my first hour class at school.

Travis Smith said...

@MyBoyJ
I always thought of Pinkie as a version of Skips

Derpestia said...

I wish cartoon network had FiM i bet tons more people would end up watching it then.

Blayze Kohime said...

@Impious Yep, Twilight's special talent is to do whatever the #$@ she wants to do WITH MAGIC.

MyBoyJ said...

@Travis Smith

Skips strikes me as more of a Celestia type. Basically immortal, a wise source of advice, and left to clean up various mystical messes.

Octavia said...

$.25 Seth? Go, high-roller! :P

I hope this is really good. I tend to like MAD TV, so I'm hopeful it'll be as good as most of their stuff.

naahdude said...

MAD is the Jamarcus Russell of comedy shows

CaptNemo said...

Its too bad Madtv is absolute garbage

MandoPony said...

I see an AcousticBrony there.

Mattatatta said...

I've watch MAD a few times. It's a bit hit and miss, but it's a damn site better than whatever crap my sisters put on when they take over the TV.

Though, since it's coming on at 8.30PM, I think the TV shall be occupied and I won't be able to catch MAD. Oh well, somepony will put it on YT anyway, which is how I watched the previous parody anyway.

Travis Smith said...

@MyBoyJ
Hmm, you make good sense, I always thought, appears mysteriously, knows strange insight, useally random words.

Dr. Rarity said...

@MyBoyJ
huh, the more you know.

Flutterfan said...

I actually liked MadTV, the cancelled show that use to be on FOX.

By the description it seems like they're going to combine MLP with Warhorse, the recently released movie then make a geeky men joke.

autobotgodzilla said...

On the subject of Cartoon Network, I probably wouldn't have been so kind to MLP:FIM if Adventure Time hadn't softened me up to flying unicorns and rainbows.

Lord Bloomberg said...

So who else thinks they're going to depict us as fat neckbeards and cause intense butthurt among the community?

autobotgodzilla said...

@Lord Bloomberg
I kinda doubt they'll even acknowledge us.

Travis Smith said...

@autobotgodzilla
Really?
Mine was the old animated movie Cats Don't Dance and Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron

Derpestia said...

@autobotgodzilla

Yeah that was actually on my mind when i first watched FiM "well i thought adventure time was gay at first and it's good" so long as i ignore the plastic toys im cool.

Bronyhub said...

...challenge accepted... But seriously I wonder how cooperative Hasbro has to be to allow Tara Strong unto a competing channel to do a spoof of one of their most popular shows? Guess it's good advertising, when everyone checks out MLP and sees just how much better it is than MTV. Seriously how did MTV end up on cartoon network?

Jordan said...

@CityFlyer502: Cartoon Network will only see its ratings "spike" if enough people with Nielsen People Meters installed on their TVs watch the MAD parody.

MyBoyJ said...

@Lord Bloomberg

It may just be an offhand mention of guys who like ponies, or maybe they actually will slip a Derpy in there somewhere. Though I can't help but compare MAD's depiction of ponies to Hotdiggedydemon's, minus the obscenity and grisly murder of course.

MyBoyJ said...

@autobotgodzilla

I think he means in terms of material they parody. MAD seems to do quite a lot of parodies of MTV reality shows.

autobotgodzilla said...

@MyBoyJ
No, MAD's depiction will be a string of unrelated pop culture references with poorly drawn ponies somehow crammed in.

Nostalgia Schmaltz said...

Still not watching MAD on CN. Tried to watch it, they're trying too hard to be funny, causing epic fail.

MyBoyJ said...

@autobotgodzilla

That's more than likely, unfortunately. I meant like hotdiggedydemon in terms of the characters acting very un-ponylike.

CityFlyer502 said...

@Jordan True. Point being, there's probably gonna be several curious bronies tuning into CN Monday night.

j1992g said...

I've never even heard of this show...

Verbose said...

@NinjaGalad

Really, bro?


Anyway, I'm ambivalent. But I'd like to see if this is going to be entertaining in itself, entertaining because Pony, or not entertaining.

But I'll watch (if I remember) just to see Twilight Sparkle I doubt Tara Strong would voice her, but if she is, then I will watch. I'll post post-its on my computer or something.

And hope she doesn't die or something.

CityFlyer502 said...

@Derpestia That's funny in the sense that it worked the reverse for me. I didn't really give Adventure Time much of a chance, yet I was entirely open to watching ponies. Kind of stupid when I think back on it.

Boogster Su II said...

Everypony needs to watch it whether they like it or not!

Also, pay me $.25 every time Discord makes an unexpected, unscheduled cameo in a future MAD episode .

MyBoyJ said...

@Verbose

Judging from the tweet, Tara Strong will be voicing the horse character in the Warhorse parody. It might even be a Twilight Sparkle lookalike character.

ACB said...

Oh hey this could be really--"ON CARTOON NETWORK"*


Nope.

KingNigel42 said...

MAD has a few good skits...
I might record this

ViewtifulSteve said...

MAD's really hit and miss for me, but Tara Strong is telling me to watch it, and apparently voicing Twilight, SO WATCH IT I SHALL.

Still, I'll never forget what they did to Applejack...(RARITY'S cutie mark?! Seriously?)

MyBoyJ said...

Unless of course, it's just a Twilight Sparkle lookalike in the sketch and Tara Strong is not involved but is encouraging us to watch it because she usually plays the character.

reclaimedvalor said...

all my bits says that the secret shout out is related to Twilight rule 34.

Flutterfan said...

Can I just say how great Tara Strong is on Twitter? Really funny tweets and throws Twilight Sparkle references constantly.

I think she's really gets Brony/nerd culture.

BronyHaterSlayer said...

Some of the clips on MAD are funny, but most are complete shit, so I hope this is a funny clip and not a shitty one.

Ted Wakeman said...

MAD on Cartoon Network blows SUPREME ass. Will not be watching...


So...no, buck the stupid parody. Hated the first one anyway.

richfiles said...

I watch MAD... This will be the second episode to parody My Little Ponies, and they did TWO separate pony parodies in the same episode the first time. It's very groan worthy, but occasionally, they have a gem or two. Also, Spy vs. Spy is classic awesome!

BlightedAI said...

Well I bet I will miss it, but I'm betting someone will get it up on youtube at some point after the parody airs...

Remy said...

@SouthParkTaoist

I agree, MAD magazine is good, and the TV show would be good if it were on Adult Swim instead of prime time.

I also think Tom Richmond is best MAD artist and blogger. I need to get his caricature book.

GuerreroPerdido said...

Dont naturally watch it. But I'll likely catch it when it is uploaded to youtube. So.. bronies. Please upload to youtube..

David said...

Monday at 8:30 pm!?

But I'll be watching ponies then!

Flutterfan said...

"@shiniscope Superstar @tarastrong returns to the role of Twilight Sparkle in the #MAD parody, MY LITTLE WAR HORSE! Monday/8:30pm on Cartoon Network!"

It makes no difference whether it's good or not, Tara going to be the voice for Twilight in it, that alone is worth seeing it IMO.

WesWolf said...

Too bad MAD is nothing but witless insults to popculture. I've watched two episodes and they were both completely mind numbingly awful. CN could do so much better with that time slot.

Anonymoose said...

Eh, it's most exposure for the fandom. I personally don't find MadTV funny at all.

DeRockProject said...

Alright!!!

...I have no fucking idea how I'm even liking MAD even a bit, it's so stupid, but I just do for some reason.

FreezingShock said...

Never heard of MAD before. I'll watch it if Equestria Daily links to it on Youtube.

GeN said...

25cents?! you're not much of a betting man i assume.

cjllatt said...

hmmm thiiis might not end well :P

Solzan Nemesis said...

I look forward to Monday. ^_^

Ten said...

This sounds jokes, can't wait for it!

Mike said...

First MAD, then Robot Chicken, then South Park, then the world!!!

lol, this should be good.

James Corck said...

Oh my God yes. I was expecting someone to make a parody of this, a crossover of both the show and the movie (which is actually not that good, to tell you the truth). And having Tara Strong in there just makes it even better! Can't wait!!!

Smallwaves said...

I don't see why ANYONE would get excited over this. MAD TV fucking sucks.

Your Friend the Taxman said...

MAD TV is horrible, but I'll watch the new episode for the ponies. The best that can come out of this is it could expose Bronies to CN's good shows, Adventure Time and Regular Show; nothing irks me more than Bronies who insist that MLP is the only good modern cartoon.

crris14 said...

I really hope this goes on youtube cause i have no cable at my house

Anthony Pendley said...

Please dont be awful and insulting...
Please dont be awful and insulting...
Please dont be awful and insulting...
PLEASE dont be awful and insulting... X{

Daniel G. said...

@Your Friend the Taxman What, I'm not allowed to dislike Adventure Time? It's no big deal to not like stuff.

D-pad Dash said...

Since Tara Strong is voicing fake Twilight...will some things happen so that mlp also premires on CN?That would be great cause I got no hub channel.And it would introduce young kids to mlp

HeavyMetalBrony said...

that show is like the worst show on cn ever....we should feel bad that there doing a parody of fim on mad its only going to turn out horrible in the first place

HerrDoktor said...

Somebody better put this on youtube!

Curse my limited choice of cable suppliers!!

- Also, I believe it's "secret" because only Bronies will get it. Maybe she snuck it in without them realizing? Also she called us -her- Bronies, squee!! <3

Mikomisama said...

finally watched it. <3333
