Adult Swim recently did a small blurb about us in their "bump" things, primarily about Derpy. It's pretty negative, but they usually are. I'm sure a bunch of them watch the show anyway if past versions of these are any indication.
Check the video out after the break.

ReplyDeleteLook man, I understand your pain, but this is getting old fast. Look back. I think there's more comments telling people to stop complaining than there actually comments complaining.
I get tired of hearing people get worked up about these things, but its even more tiring of hearing the fans constantly preach to each other that they're going to "destroy the fandom".
Plus, for this particular one, you have to consider that a lot of these comments are genuine. I don't think [AS] is funny at all. I think they're juvenile and sometimes very sick. This doesn't change that at all.
It's probably coming from the fact that what we're doing is just considered weird, but this fandom is far more likely to "fall apart" from the amount of self doubt each brony has in the community, not from the actual community itself.
That was hilarious.
ReplyDeletedear adult swim
ReplyDeletewhen watching "king of the hill" can get me laid, i will take your advice.
for now i do have the magic of friendship from watching MLP:FIM
and are earning more by the second
Protip: when i want to get laid i will go and get laid. when i want to talk about derpy(or ditzy) i will watch ponies.
when i want to kill a few dozen braincells i will hit myself in the head with a brick.. or watch five minutes of adult swim.
Sincerly

We now return to shows with much higher budgets and yet with much lower-quality animation.
ReplyDeleteMeh wasn't that funny or original. Just looks like they stole that from some troll who wrote it in a forum.
ReplyDelete@Nite5hade
ReplyDeleteYou would be late to the proverbial party, if such a party existed in the first place.
Please, do go back and read the comments. There are many more people complaining about potential complainers than there are actual complainers, of which there are very little of (Though they do exist and should heed most of your words.)
While the "bump" you mention is funny, provided it did take place, this one lacks originality and that is the one thing people are talking about here.
*facehoof*
ReplyDelete@jackpotpony I LOL'ed
ReplyDeleteWait, so we were trying to get laid? I was here for Ponies, plus I see sex as being used for survival of the species not a means of gaining popularity or approval. Adult swim, never showing good examples of being an adult. Mature of them right?

ReplyDeleteI think this annoys me because after all this time, people STILL think that all bronies are 14 year old, pale antisocial freaks that jerk off to pictures of Rainbow Dash... and that is just not so. I know lots of bronies, locally (and around the WORLD) that get out into the community, donate blood, form charities, etc. [AS] comments just sounded like some macho douchebag trying to impress a girl. Being a girl (and a brony or pegasister or whatever), I am MORE impressed by bronies loving the show without shame, and being just who you are. :)
ReplyDeleteMeh.
ReplyDeleteA guy who can appreciate female characters and not just dismiss them as being "girly" probably stands a pretty good chance of getting laid in the long term.
Wasn't particularly funny or insulting. But then I'm female and getting laid on a regular basis so I'm probably not meant to be who it's insulting anyway.
@quantum fluffy flapjack
ReplyDelete"not meant to be who it's insulting"
Cannot today grammar do.
How immature does one have to be to think that the reasoning behind everything anyone does is because they want sex? Like really, this is exactly what I would hear from a 12 year old on Xbox Live.
ReplyDeletelol get owned Derpy QQers
ReplyDeleteI'm a chick and I'm dating a brony sooo obviously that's not the case. *scoffs*
ReplyDeleteBecause getting laid is the only thing that matters. Sure. Whatever :/
ReplyDeleteI'M SO MAD RIGHT NOW.
ReplyDeleteWhy does this even warrant >420 comments? That joke was... really bad. It's about as clever as "no, YOU suck".
ReplyDeleteRoll your eyes and move on.
@Edzepp
ReplyDeleteagreed, most people are not offended, just think its stupid and unoriginal, there are so many better ways to take a shot at us.
example; a brony knocking a kid out of the way for a pony toy at toys'r'us, that would be funny
I'm sure they are just joking.
ReplyDeleteWell... seems like they are just a bunch of asses, who surely just take it stupidly not well that many people probably prefer MLP:FiM at their stuff...
ReplyDeletevery recently, I came across an internet troll that defended a certain sexist Kotaku article by saying "Women are not going to sleep with you because you call yourself a feminist." With one little sentence, he proved himself a king among unwashed troglodytes that day.
ReplyDeleteProtip: You'll want to avoid following in his footsteps. You might try making an actual argument next time.
I want pizza now
ReplyDeleteOn one hoof, they are right. On the other, well, if a female and male brony get together, there'd be more love in the barn in a day than I'm sure all the adult swim staff would get in a year.
ReplyDeleteCool shoutout though!
Haha, that was pretty rad.
ReplyDeleteYo dawg das hateful :(
ReplyDeleteGood trollin', [AS].
ReplyDeleteMy girlfriend was the first person to tell me about The Hub. Then I got her onto ponies. Whaddaya know, takes all kinds to make a world!
Anyhow, they're right. Shit hit the fan. This fandom showed it's scared, angry, vehemently vocal ugly side. It's largely over now, but it's important to remember our overreaction. Maybe we can be and do better next time!
And to everybody who's raging about the quality of [AS] of late, it's always been kinda good but kinda shit. They gave us Robot Chicken, Aqua Teen, Squidbillies, and lots of other comedy gold. Sure, most of it's trite, stupid, juvenile or any other adjective this side of puerile, but none of what's on Adult Swim is meant to be taken seriously. That especially includes the bumps, they troll everyone.
My own sense of humor is firmly rooted in the non sequitur. I may not like a lot of what's on [AS], especially recently, but I appreciate them for having been there.
Let's chillax, k?
I quit watching Adult Swim after it just became nonstop reruns of everything.
ReplyDeleteOooh, burned. lol
ReplyDeleteI see a lot of yelling in here. Well, I guess if we're not yelling at ponies at the time, we gotta be yelling at something. ;)
Seems many Bronies don't like Adult Swim. I'm sorry, but I can't say I'm one of them.
SpaceGhost, Sealab, Harvey Birdman, Venture Bros.
ReplyDeletehow we miss thee. AS has been feces for a few years now. We aren't butthurt, just pointing out how much AS sucks. The bumps used to be funny/original, now they seem to have Mike the janitor writing them.
Every chick I've met that found out I was a Brony seemed to like me MORE... *shrugs*
ReplyDeleteAnyway, it's just a (lame) joke. Months ago [as] made a list of shows that weren't on their block that you should be watching, or could be watching and MLP:FiM was on it.
They went for "funny" and hit "cliche" instead. I'm certainly not insulted by it or anything. They diss everything, even themeselves.
I like [as] because they show new American Dad episodes a week after they air on Fox, and at a time slot when I'll be able to watch them. Along with MLP and Futurama, Adventure Time and Regular Show are my favorite animated shows on TV. Adult Swim isn't what it used to be, but Cartoon Network is putting out some good stuff.
That was short and fairly uninteresting. Interesting to see how butthurt people are getting over a 10 seconds long video which isn't even that insulting compared to some of the crap we get.
ReplyDeleteWhere is the butthurt, guys? Coz I'm barely getting any in here. Saying Adult Swim is bad isn't butthurt, it's an opinion.
ReplyDeleteGeez, now I sound butthurt. Let's just pack it up and go home.
Hey adult swim, here's a pro tip for you: Your shows never got anyone laid either!
ReplyDeleteNow that I think about it, WHO THE H NAMES A CHANNEL 'ADULT SWIM'? That's just about the worst name ever. I wouldn't be surprised if their next new show would be something about the wiggles.
ReplyDeleteIt wasn't even .. as insulting as I thought it was going to be. I'll still watch Adult Swim (sparingly, as per usual) but it was a mild jab by them, as they jab at everyone else. Not everyone is going to be all sunshine and farts about the fandom .. and I don't expect them to. Especially not from a group that makes fun of everyone.
ReplyDeleteHah, like a few others, I've been married for many years, so the "laid" part is irrelevant. On the other hand, like some others mentioned, that particular bump could (and very well MAY) create new bronies. I had never even HEARD of the show, let alone knew about bronies until I read about it on cracked.com. My curiosity got the better of me and I looked an episode up on youtube and have been hooked ever since! (Most likely had I not read the cracked article, but saw that bump instead, the exact same thing would have happened.)
ReplyDeleteWhy are people taking this so seriously? Why do people feel the need to tell when or how they get laid?
ReplyDeleteHey Adult Swim,
ReplyDeleteY u no funny anymore?
Protip: Leave Family Guy, King of Hill to Fox they make it funny and less rude.
Also, I really thought you guys died and just started making parodies of Robot Unicorn Attack
Protip: Watching cartoon network at midnight does not make you a badass nor attractive to the opposite gender.
ReplyDeleteReally, [adultswim]? I'm not offended they mock bronies. Not like they're the only ones and I guess it does look pretty silly from outside the fanbase. But they took a few seconds of everyone's time and did that whole set-up just for a "certain interests aren't conducive to sex" joke. Any other cutting-edge humor you wanna try out, [adultswim]? A "sit on it" bumper or maybe a nice judge Ito gag? "Who's on first" is a fresher joke than that. And much funnier.
ReplyDeleteIt's a good thing Space Ghost isn't alive to see this...
You gotta realize people....this is exactly the reaction they knew they were going to receive.
ReplyDeleteBasically, we're all proving their point right now.
ProTip: Don't prove their point when it's clearly invalid.
Adult Swim = Cartoon Network
ReplyDeletePonies = the Hub
Adult Swim major audience is 25-35 year old males.
Bronies are 25-35 year old males...
If Bronies are watching the Hub they are not watching CN or Adult Swim... thus Adult Swim attacks ponies for taking away ratings... its that simple.
so few people get it. It's NOT because she seemed less retarded, it's because they took away here name and replaced her voice with a WORSE bit of voice acting.
ReplyDeleteI think it's funny...
ReplyDeleteAm I weird?
@Something To Quack AboutBut YOU certainly aren't.
ReplyDeleteHey at least they aware of the whole Derpy fiasco. Maybe this will get to executive ears andthen they will say "oops, we really dropped the ball with this one! We better change her BACK!". That would be awesome.
ReplyDeleteFUCK YOU I CAN'T GET LAID
ReplyDeleteI'M GOING TO HAVE SEX WITH MY GIRLFRIEND WHILE WATCHING SQUIDBILLIES
ReplyDeleteWell, it made me laugh.
ReplyDelete@yoshipwns13
ReplyDeleteIt was originally a section on Cartoon Network late at night. Adult Swim is referring to some swimming pool policies that no children may swim at certain times. "All kids out of the pool", as it were.
Dear Most Commentors,
ReplyDeleteI am disappoint.
And lo, did the bronies descend. And there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth.
ReplyDeleteFrankly, arguing about ANYthing on the internet won't get you laid.
I know this won't score me any brownie (brony?) points here, but I really do think the entire Derpy argument was overblown from the very start. I think bronies really need to stop taking themselves so seriously.
Protip: King of the hill also won't get you laid.
ReplyDeleteThe best part about this, aside from everybody getting in the comments, is that [Adult Swim] is absolutely right. They're just trying to do a PSA and you guys seem to be taking it a bit too personally.
ReplyDeleteThey could at least have made it somewhat entertaining?
ReplyDeleteLOL I thought it was funny. I know it was ment to be negitive but I got a chuckle out of it.
ReplyDeleteYeah, because he have to answer to every single mention of bronies in the media today, whether negative or positive. We can't just do our thing and let them do their things. We have to be sensitive.
ReplyDeleteMe? I don't have a s**t. Adult Swim is Adult Swim.
@yoshipwns13
ReplyDeleteAdult Swim isn't a channel. It's the Late Night block on Cartoon Network.
brb Häagen-Dazs ;_____;
ReplyDeleteActually, my boyfriend and I are huge bronies and our sex life is great.
ReplyDeleteIf "you virgin" is the best insult attempt they can come up with, we have no reason to be worried about them.
ReplyDeleteDisregard females, acquire wall-eyed miniature horse.
ReplyDeleteDisregard females, acquire wall-eyed miniature horse.
ReplyDeleteAdult Swim isn't very creative anymore.
ReplyDeleteWell looks like Adult Swim can go fuc-... Oh yea. I don't care.
ReplyDeleteThe good people over at Adult Swim are making unfunny not-jokes? Truly, a new low has been reached in televised entertainment.
ReplyDeleteThey're just jelly that MLP has more fans than they do.
ReplyDeleteThe way I see is this: There's loads and loads of things in the world that won't get you laid, but it won't NOT get you laid. I mean, think about it. Breathing won't get you laid. Arguing about Derpy's fate won't get you laid. Watching Adult Swim won't get you laid. They're all neither ways to get laid nor ways to NOT get laid. So congratulations to all the haters: they have accomplished nothing. Besides bringing about the most instances of the word "laid" in any post by me.
ReplyDeleteIn other news, King of The Hill is still awesome.
ReplyDeleteProtip: taking off the good anime won't make your network better.

ReplyDelete@Nothing Else To Do.
ReplyDeleteA WINNER IS YOU, WINNERS LAID GET.
@Nothing Else To Do.
ReplyDeleteARE YOU SAYING THAT BRONIES ARE ALL LIKE THIS, FUCK YOU, A LOSER IS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@Nightweaver20xx
ReplyDeleteA LOSER IS YOU
@Blethisto
ReplyDeleteNO U.
A LOSER IS YOU.
PROTIP: ADULT SWIM WINS.
ReplyDeleteRight, but watching reruns on Adult Swim will totally get you laid. Yep. Total fact.
ReplyDeleteI like how they say arguing about Derpy isn't gonna get us laid.....Like watching Adult swim is such a chick magnet lol
ReplyDelete@Something To Quack About Now,now name calling on either side will do nothing. I suggest you to retract the comment and attempt to make those sour grapes realize their erroneous ways and see things from your perspective, teach them.
ReplyDeleteWhy does it only say male fans….female fans don't count….I call shenanigans!! This little lady takes offense!
ReplyDeleteThat's too funny to be offensive. It's also too cool. It's also... well, Adult Swim. Half the time I don't even know what those bumpers are even talking about.
ReplyDeleteIn response to their ProTip: I'm pretty sure us bronies knew what we were signing up for, so this isn't anything new. :P
ProTip: We don't care, WE'RE ON TV!
ReplyDeleteSo, now they know.
ReplyDeleteOh [AS]
wait do you still have adult swim in cartoon network on the U.S or its a different channel because here on mexico cartoon network get rid of that s**t like five years ago
ReplyDeleteLmao i was fighting for derpy rights the night i found and still got laid lmao!
ReplyDeleteThey are super jelly. When Captain Murphy died and ATHF became lame in 2006, they had nothing left. And by the way, AS, I don't need any help with my drawers....I'm married, thank you.
ReplyDeleteWell I guess shouting about my little Kony on the internet isn't the best way to get laid
ReplyDeleteThat was quite funny, I wouldn't call it negative but more of a playful ribbing!
ReplyDeleteThis is how I joke with my friends and family.
Yelling on the internet about pony shows will not get you laid? That's how I met my fiancee.
ReplyDeleteTrue, yelling about ponies on the internet will not get you laid.
ReplyDeleteBut did anyone think it *would*?
they could have done so much more with that joke, seriously!
ReplyDeletei love AS and i expected better from them XP
They have a point. Well, other than the get you laid thing, but the stuff before it.
ReplyDeleteWe want a character to be more retarded.
That's strange.
it is kinda silly if you think about it
ReplyDeleteit is kinda silly if you think about it
ReplyDeleteConsidering that this is the network that keeps Tim and Eric on the air and calls it "funny" why do we even care what they think?
ReplyDeletelol Im married so I get laid pretty regularly.

@palaminopegasus
ReplyDeleteHell yeah it's funny! What about the female Bronies or Pegasisters as they are also known? If the conformists reject us, we can always procreate with them! LOL! XD
@palaminopegasus
ReplyDeleteLMFAO! Hell yeah that was funny, because what about the female Bronies, or Pegasisers as they are also known. If we get rejected by the wold's conformists we can always procreate with our female counterparts! XD LOL!
I feel honored just for the fact that Adult Swim has been keeping up on the brony community, even if it is to bash them. They have to know something in order to say something like this on t.v. and this isn't the first time Adult Swim has said something about ponies.

ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure [adult swim] consists of several Closet Bronies trying to sound cool. XD
ReplyDeleteUs Bronies could get laid if we wanted to, we're awesome like that.
@OmniLionheart
ReplyDeleteAgreed
@Fwooooosh I agree, I thought what they did was good and its stuff like that is why I love AS and the shows.
ReplyDelete@Reality Check Yeah it got bad, and it only was on iTunes to. Comcast made no changes.
ReplyDelete@Graveheart I am rational and I watch AS as dose my best friend, also rational.
ReplyDeleteThey trolled us and most of you lost.
Did that, and got laid. What up?
ReplyDeleteDid that, and got laid. What up?
ReplyDeleteAdult Swim...can't run a decent lineup, loops the same animes over and over (I mean, really, I love Fooly Cooly and all but Haruko's antics got dull after the fith repeat) and everything else they run can be found on primetime network TV anyways.
ReplyDeleteIf they had half a brain, they'd have Studio B and their studios do a version of "Cupcakes" or something...considering half their stuff is even more adult anyways.
Adult Swim stopped being relevant or interesting right about when Space Ghost ended. Now it's just a bunch of cut-rate imitators of Mike Judge. Like cheap Zynga knockoffs of decent games, they just don't get it. And like so many others, when they've run out of good ideas, they turn to mean-spirited attack humor.
ReplyDelete[AS] is done. Bury it before it stinks up the place.
@BLOK
ReplyDeleteI'm seeing it as people are more insulted by the unoriginality of the jab than anything.
Ahem, fuck you [AS]
ReplyDelete@Moleman77
ReplyDeleteI agree, watching ponies is fun and entertaining for the whole 22 minutes it's on. Sex is fun at first but after about 15 minutes it just becomes a workout and I can't wait til it ends =/
I consider myself a /co/lt, but the guys at Adult Swim do have a good point.
ReplyDeleteeveryone, im ok. 9_6
ReplyDelete-derpy
Protip: Muffins are better with milk!
ReplyDeleteand not while watching adult swim...
love and tolerate, guys. love and tolerate.
ReplyDeleteI like how much butthurt [AS] has created by simply telling a joke. C'mon bronies, we're better than that!
ReplyDelete
