Frankly, I'm a bit surprised that I'm the one who has to bring this here. Me! A hater of everything that doesn't meet my high standards. But, a good show is a good show.
I started noticing this thing on youtube awhile ago where they would take serious trailers and reedit the video to My little pony animation which is, needless to say, pretty damn funny.
Here's a few choice ones:
Starcraft 2:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B1hETuP33r8(This is the definitely the best one) Music video for POWER by Kanye West:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8srUyAIjCdoThat's when I started to notice how high quality the animation was in the clips they sampled, no shortage of action scenes, diverse facial expressions that never clashed with the characters' core design. so I decided to actually watch the show and see if there was anything to it. Never has a passive interest in a show turned into an addiction so fast, this shit's worse than anime.
Upon enjoying the show, I realized a couple of interesting things, 1) I must be very secure in my masculinity(How could I not be? I mean look at me!) and 2) I haven't fallen prey to that idiotic nostalgia for 90's cartoons that grips so many of my generation because I can definitely say between shit like this and Adventure Time, kid's cartoons right now are better than they've ever been.
So, let the record show that I'm now a proponent of anything to do with Friendship is Magic ( a propony, one might say) and if anyone of you wants to challenge me on this I will love and tolerate the fucking shit out of you.
