Check out that smug ass Twilight Sparkle. That's almost Trixie level right there.
I hope these are the new vectors they use everywhere!
This billboard will be showing up in LA tomorrow. What better way to attract absolutely everyone?!
You can find the facebook announcement here!
Thanks to everyone that sent it to me!
(Sorry about the delay, I promised myself I'd try to sleep for once, figures I pick the important news day)
Apparently Cereal created this post for 2:00 PM... so, have his response below! Sorry Cereal! News skips the hourly thing!
The more promotional material I see for this show from the Hub, the more unabashedly excited I get for season two. Doubtless there will be some who think this is taking it too far, but I'm loving this. It's perfect for those who recognize the pun, too. I love puns.
What do you guys think?
Also the image it is based off of

took me a second to realize it was parodying the Bridesmaids movie poster but when I did realize I nearly killed myself laughing.
ReplyDeleteThat's the official goddamn... My Little Pony page.
ReplyDeleteAnd it's badass as fuck.
I hope Season 2 is like that.
Epic.
ReplyDelete...I'm literally just sitting here, "Tron" being ignored in the background, and grinning like a goddamned hyena.
ReplyDeleteThis. Is. Amazing.
they are all so cool :O
ReplyDeleteExcept Pinkie, She's just Pinkie ...Maybe that's extra cool.
If it had the MLP logo somewhere on it it would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteAnd the double takes it would cause would cause many an accident.
This is fake you tards
ReplyDeleteThis.... this is awesomesauce.
ReplyDeleteIt's official? Doesn't seem like a billboard to advertise kids show, more like one advertising a show for young adults.
ReplyDeleteMy body is ready for season 2
ReplyDeleteBroadway tunes for the show, fuck-all for the advertising. I'm beginning to love Hasbro as much as Studio B.
ReplyDeleteHoly. Frack. The Hub is now beyond awesome. I think they've realized what they have, and they're rolling with it.
ReplyDeleteThat. Is. Awesome!
ReplyDeleteLong Live Bronies!
I don't care if this is real or not. This is the best thing.
ReplyDeleteThe. BEST. THING.
If this real, I love it. Now I regret not seeing Bridesmaids with my mom awhile back(I just HAD to lose my glasses DX) I hope it shows up in NYC so I can see it in person!
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteSeth got this from the official MLP Facebook page. Link's up at the top.
I don't know about you, but I'm gonna stay optimistic.
That's... a real billboard?
ReplyDeleteReal fuckin' Neato.
@Anonymous
ReplyDelete>This is fake you tards
It is on the official MLP Facebook page, which I am given to understand is actually run by the show producers. I suppose it's possible that they're trolling us, but it seems relatively reasonable to take this at face value for now. C'mon, really, we're all bronies here, we don't have much use for cynicism. And name-calling isn't terribly nice, either.
Anyway, personally I love the look on Fluttershy's face best, maybe because it contrasts so directly with her usual demeanor.
Man...this is fucking fantastic.
ReplyDeleteI wish I was in LA now...just to see that.
L.A. Cannot possibly be ready for this much pony.
ReplyDeleteTaking bets on California finding the billboard 'controversial.'
Say what you want, this is California.
@Shellsh0cker
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, in the event that they are trolling, we can always just get a few dA artists together and go vandalize a billboard ourselves.
Preferably one for The Hub, if such an advertisement exists.
This billboard, all the mane 6 have got this "you don't mess with my little pony"/"You got a problem with Bronies?" look about them.
ReplyDeleteExcept Pinkie.
Pinkie is indomitable.
Let's just hope she doesn't pop off the bill board and start terrorizing LA with a impromptu parties up an... actually that's EXACTLY what should happen! Long live the Pinkie!
Twilights leg is bending the wrong way -_-
ReplyDeleteOnly their front legs have been seen to be double jointed!
I don't mean to be a party pooper, but this is just making making me more afraid of Season 2. There's no denying this is awesome, but it looks like more fan-service, like Equestrian Girls.
ReplyDeleteOh well. This billboard is still awesome, especially that 3-legged Rarity.
I have conflicted feelings over this. They range between "this is fucking awesome" and "WTS IS GOIN ON?! I GOTTA FUCKIN' HIDE".
ReplyDeleteI would have gone with "Bridesmares" but this is still awesome.
ReplyDeleteo_O This... the show, the ads, the fandom, it's all insane and awesome at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI love the looks on their faces but Twilight and Rarity's poses just look awkward.
ReplyDelete@AnonymousWhat, you think they're using up too much of their awesome on advertising campaigns? I like to think awesome is a non-finite resource when it comes to ponies.
ReplyDeleteEverypony looks so serious. And then you see Pinkie.
ReplyDeleteThere is so much amazing in this that its hard to describe.
ReplyDeleteNew artwork! A billboard! A parody of an R-rated movie!
@Cliff Snowpeak
ReplyDeleteAbout Bridesmares, I bet they wanted to avoid the "Bride" term because it will cause lots of confusion and mayhem.

ReplyDeleteFlawed assumption. The makers of the show do not make the advertisements.

"season 2 started last summer, and no, hasbro did not ask to adjust the target audiance."
to that guy who suggest that we get DA artist in case this is Celestia at work and not real...don't get a shipping artist to do it, we don't need that kind of controversy! lol
ReplyDeleteHere's the higher-res bigger version Seth.

This just made my day
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI won't say your trepidation is unwarranted, but so far the fanservice has been almost exclusively confined to ads, which is exactly where it should be, in my opinion. Now, granted, there hasn't been any canonical content released in the same timeframe, but the show creators have been aware of us for a good while--remember Derpy Hooves?
Bottom line, I say let's just keep the faith and trust that the producers are smart enough to leave the fanservice out of the show. Not much more we can do.
Dash's pose there.
ReplyDeleteFUCKING BADASS HNNNGGG
if this actually happens it will be so much WIN but it also might attract trolls and hater i wont name them *cough*fox news *cough*
ReplyDelete^^ oh wait, i didn't realize you could download it full size from your link. Never mind, carry on!
ReplyDeleteThat is so amazingly epic. At first I looked at it and thought "that's some nice fan art". Then I noticed the link and was all "Oh My GOSH! It's real! It's Real? This is official? This is official!" Then I realized what it was parodying and starting laughing like a Hyena for several minutes.
ReplyDeleteThis is going to turn many heads on the road. They all have have this smug look about them, well except for Pinkie Pie, but then again she's Pinkie Pie. This billboard will defiantly create many new fans.
Hasbro/The Hub wanted to know fan reaction, and from what I've seen so far it is overwhelmingly positive. It is stuff like this that will help change the way people view MLP.
I hate when ponies are in human poses. Twilight and Rarity look really freaky. I'm glad they're reaching out to their older audience, but I think this is misleading. The show is not like this.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteMisleading advertisements? Someone alert the press.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteI know where you're coming from - one of the reasons I love the show is that it's NOT full of ironic references - but I think Hub is doing the right thing advertising this way. They need eyeballs, and seeing as the adults are still largely the ones in control of the remote, those are the people they need to target.
>Smug Fluttershy
ReplyDeleteHHHNNNGGG
Please, SOMEONE get a picture when this is actually put up!
ReplyDeleteAnd my anticipation for Season 2 continues to build.
ReplyDeleteThis is pure unbridled (See what I did there?) awesome! It took me a second to realize what this was parodying when I first saw it on Facebook, but when it hit me, I Lol'd so hard!
@BagOfChipsOh, Thanks.
ReplyDeleteWhile the poses bothered me at first, it's acceptable considering the original Bridesmaids movie poster.
ReplyDeleteThe Hub is so awesome right now.
Oh my Celestia AND Luna, THIS.
ReplyDeleteI wish this would appear in my town! I LOVE those smug looks the ponies have, especially Fluttershy and Rarity's! <3 Pinkie Pie is great too. She's too awesome to look smug. XD
... you know, I already use the phrase "I'm not making this up" far too often when describing this whole.. thing that the fanbase, creators, and show have all combined into. Don't get me wrong, I love it, and I love this in particular, but... how the hay did we reach this point, anyway?
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize ponies could be so badass.
ReplyDeleteI laughed way too hard, and then went over to facebook to give all of my support.
ReplyDeleteAnd then I realized for some reason the site is uber-broken for me, and I can't "like" anything nor leave comments.
So I'll just have to leave my support here. BWAHAHAHA THAT IS HILARIOUS AND AWESOME.
*grins evilly letting out a Rarity laugh rubbing hooves together* someone needs to put up these billboards across from every Fox network/news station building
ReplyDeleteAw hell yeah. Rainbow Dash looks particularly awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis is the last thing I would have expected for an MLP ad, but I'm loving it.
@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteGod, that was awful. Let me try that again.
Thanks to everyone who reassured me with this. If this season was made last summer, then I'm sure it will still be awesome! Just too much fanservice can be bad.
Someone NEEDS to submit a photo to Equestria Daily of this ad on an actual billboard once it goes up. This is amazing and awesome.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!! :D
ReplyDeleteAnd really well-thought out as a parody, too! Not only are the ponies actually positioned like the women in the film's poster (link to image), but - having seen Bridesmaids myself - the characters are actually paralleled pretty well too! Rainbow Dash as Megan: the straight-talking, no-nonsense one. Twilight as Rita: a shut-in, disaffected mom that wants to get out and socialize more. Fluttershy as Becca: the naive, shy and repressed Disney movie nut. Pinkie Pie as Helen: the party-planner. Rarity and Applejack are the only two, in my opinion, that don't quite fit the Bridesmaids characters, but for two very different productions (a "little girl's" cartoon versus an R-rated comedy) the parallels that do exist were very well done!
Color me impressed x1000!! :D
I don't see how this would ruin the show. Of course, if they started putting in obvious fan service into the show then it would be ruined, but that isn't what they're doing. You have to remember, the marketing arm of MLP:FiM is completely different from the arm that actually makes the episodes.
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome, I didn't think this was real at first! Unrelated, I think that there should be a post about Funnyjunk . com, because that website has officially converted to ponies as well (I helped a little)! The Admin of the site changed his profile name to Princess Celestia, and is now holding a poll to get suggestions on a site name-change. About 60-80% of the suggestions are something along the lines of ponies.
ReplyDeleteI would watch this if it were a movie.
ReplyDeleteIt would have been cooler if they had been able to work out a normal (for ponies) pose while getting the feeling of the original poster across. The only pony who should be on two hooves is Pinkie.
ReplyDeleteThat said, it's funny. But I still hope that any future posters will translate 2 legged poses to 4 legged poses (as was done in the show, like during Fluttershy's photo shoots).
Funnyjunk is fucking terrible. All their content is stolen from other, much better sites. The admin is a homophobic retard. The less publicity that site gets, the better.
ReplyDeleteAbout the poses, I think Rarity has her front left leg stretched behind AJ and Twilight's hind leg is bent back at the knee (not the ankle) with her ankle joint straight.
ReplyDeleteIt is a common misconception that the knee on the rear leg of quadrupeds (dogs, cats, horses etc.) bend backwards. What people think is a backwards knee is actually the ankle joint. Horses have a knee joint on the rear leg it is just position high up on the leg relatively close to the body compared to the foreleg. On the Ponies it is just below the Cutie Mark. Look carefully at how Pinkie's hind legs bend in the billboard. Back then forward. The thigh is just short.
Search for "funnyjunk oatmeal" to learn more about how Funnyjunk is the worst thing.
ReplyDeleteThis seems to cool to be official. I like this trend.
ReplyDeleteWe need one of these in the Eastern North Carolina region. It would be a monument worth visiting! I would ride my bike all the way to it just to have my picture taken with it!
ReplyDeleteOh my Celestia that is awesome. Hell, even if they are trolling us I don't care. It's pure epicness makes up for it. And if it is real, it might convince some parents to maybe watch it with their kids. That doesn’t seem to happen enough these days.
ReplyDelete@Lindil
ReplyDeleteIt isn't for young adults?
We don't have to worry about adult fan service working its way into the show. This is simply advertising. It's purpose is to grab people's attention and make them want to find out what this is all about. It is no different then the fan made YouTube videos (why do you think Hasbro allows them, it's free advertising) only official.
ReplyDeletehaha aw man this is too cool
ReplyDeleteYOU STOLE MY NEWS
ReplyDeleteSTOLE IT
WHY
Never been part of any fandom, I guess I have picked the right one to be my first :)
ReplyDeleteOr maybe...the fandom picked me...Will never know.
Oh and a second note: I'm becoming more and more sure Hasbro is starting to see potential market in bronies :)
ReplyDeleteOkay... IF this is actually going down... who the buck do I have to lobby to get one in Seattle. I'll write a fkn ADVERTISING THESIS as to why it's an invaluable demographic to target.
ReplyDeleteSecondly, lol @ cereal. Lol.
Lastly, Fluttershy's expression is gold. Just gold.
I can't express how much I love this. I'm so freakin' happy that the people on the marketing department are so very aware of their show's audience.
ReplyDeleteThis is... this is amazing.
@Cereal Velocity
ReplyDeleteHe mad. Everypony focus your hugs on him!
As a Class-A driver, I don't believe what I hear and only believe 50% of what I see. So when I run my LA locals (a 3 day event) I may see this if it is true. And laugh my butt off... of course trying not to crush a Prius or 2
ReplyDeleteThat's freakin' badical.
ReplyDeleteSO GANGSTAAAAAAA
ReplyDeleteThis blows my mind as an epic and brilliant marketing technique.
ReplyDeletePlease don't tell me the show is going to try and apeal to it's older demographic, it's perfect where it is.
ReplyDeleteI think this is a perfect definition of WIN!
ReplyDeleteHOLY SHIT. The Hub is really pushing the "FiM is adult" thing! FAN-FUCKING-TASTIC!
ReplyDeleteinb4 Season 2 only airs late at night.
This is the download link, also on the Facebook page, that leads to a download of the 279KB version of our pony Bridlemaids:

I love how they are all serious except Pinkie Pie, who is being... Pinkie Pie!

@Anonymous
ReplyDeleteAnonymous always delivers.
'parently I don't find it as amazing as everyone else. Mostly because their emotions just don't seem to match, particularly Rarity, Fluttershy and Twilight.
ReplyDeleteAlso I think the ponies look weird when they stand up. :/
@Virga Rainboom
ReplyDeletethe link up here is to an official 2048x623 24bit version
What amazes me is that Twilight has a "crotch" in this image. The ponies almost never do! They usually have an "arch" or belly sag line.
ReplyDeleteOh god virga why, I didn't notice Twilight's crotch before, now I'm gonna be thinking about that every time I see that bill board! Come on Twi, put that away!
ReplyDeleteSeth, you steal Cereal's news?
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=COG-MvZVhzo
I propose a recompense of Cereal's choosing! (may Celestia have mercy on us all if he picks up on this)
omg fluttershy
ReplyDeleteCan somepony recomend a good T-shirt printing website? This really need to be on a T-Shirt.
ReplyDeleteDislike. Not the face I'd want to put on a kids show to advertise it to thousands of mainstream and biased people.
ReplyDelete@Anonymous
ReplyDelete*Laughs!* Sorry, I didn't mean to "harsh your pony buzz". I just finished up in the Artist's Training Ground Event and have been studying FiM pony anatomy for the last month. I drew some ponies standing so I have re-watched episodes and stared for hours at how they are drawn. I have not seen that particular pose before in canon art.
Hmmmm
ReplyDeleteAnyone out in L.A. gonna get us some pics when/if this goes up?
SO
ReplyDeleteMUCH
WIN
That's like 46% cooler
It seems like the wrong aspect ratio for a typical billboard.
ReplyDeleteHOWEVER... it looks just about right for the side of a bus?!
@Virga Rainboom
ReplyDeleteI think that's not a crotch, it's her knee in front of the usual belly-sag.
While I like the fan service.....
ReplyDeleteJayson, if you are reading this:
DON'T CHANGE THE SHOW
IT ISN'T BROKEN, SO DON'T FIX IT
that's about it really.
THEY NOTICED!
ReplyDeleteThe marketing department, that is. This is definitely an adult-oriented ad.
They noticed adults are interested in this show. I'd be concerned about the show itself changing, but... I can't think of any ways it could do so for the worse.
Part of me finds this hilarious. Part of me is a little weirded out.
ReplyDeleteSo.. does this make Applejack the Bride? Who is she getting married to? Season 2 hint, or am I just looking too much into a parody?
ReplyDeleteI saw this on the FB page, and I was like "OMG HOW AWESOME!!!"
ReplyDeleteI love the artwork too... Oh why Pinkie you are so random!
Oh yeah, if this is Season 2, my body is so not going to be ready.
ReplyDeleteAlso, DAT FLUTTERSHY.
Fluttershy's assertive lvl increased to "I'M 20 YEARS OLDER THAN YOU, FOAL"
ReplyDeleteLA? O RLY?..............(yay!)
oh and good night press sleep timer button to extend!!!!
(HuffytheMagicDragon)
Today LA, tomorrow the World!
ReplyDeleteI am going to LA this week for Anime Expo and i will try to find this.
ReplyDeleteI really hope somepony who lives in LA will be kind enough to get pictures of the unveiling! :D
ReplyDeleteThey must have put it up overnight because it was there this morning. I sent pics in to Cereal & Sethisto
ReplyDeleteI have found a pic of the actual billboard! :D
ReplyDeleteCheck it out!
