Okay fine another one (seriously the last one) : ANIME (Any)
We're a relatively small fanbase all things considered.
You're argument is invalid.
Generally I start new people off on that.
I went to Cherplunka's family's house for Thanksgiving because I couldn't make it home to Indiana. While there, Cherplunka's sister (Chainmaiden on League) has a few friends that come over. One friend had two little kids, both girls. I'm in the living room talking video games with Cherplunka and Dominique and I hear the MLP theme song in the other room. I start laughing, and mention I knew the bass line, there was MLP in the other room.
So like an hour or so later, I go to the restroom. When I come out, I hear "Sisterhooves Social." I walk into the room and watch for a few seconds with the kids. I ask them which pony is their favorite, and they tell me "Rarity." Whoa.
Walk back into the living room and sit down. Cherplunka says "So aren't you going to go in there and tell them how the episode ends? I was like "no, no. Just went in and asked them what their favorite pony was. They said Rarity, which is frigging weird."
Suddenly, the friends perked up. "Wait, did you say My Little Pony?" "...yes." "so you're a brony?" "Yup. Not afraid to say it. I'm secure in my masculinity." Cherplunka was like, "yeah, he wrote the thing that all the bronies reference. "true" I said, "I wrote the book! I wrote this ultimate reference piece, it was featured on Equestria Daily, and Sethisto told everyone to point people to this piece when asked about MLP."
The friend looked at me with a slightly shocked look on her face. "Oh my God, I read that article! You did that?"
Then we talked about best ponies. Cherplunka got pissed "I thought I could get away from pony talk out here!" "Hey, you started it! You brought it up!"
So weird. Deal with it.
Genevieve IMMEDIATELY slammed down the rest of her brandy.
Good story. A similar awesome thing happened to me on T-giving: my family went to my brother's girlfriend's family T-giving. After dinner, I went back to the kitchen to find a small group starting to play a Muchkin game. It delighted me. Nerd games at a family event? Win. Deal me in, guys.
One of the highlights: Walking around the downtown core when I hear 'wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle wiggle yeah' I recognized it from an MLP mashup vid and noticed a guy was playing it on his smart phone.
So in passing I said 'that vid is awesome.' dude turned to me and said 'brohoof'
Well brohoof accepted, all in all awesome day.
Is now off to watch the show, convinced she will like it after reading information and commentary provided.
Knowledge is power. Thanks!
Why can't you understand Dashie is a MAN XD
Inside jokes...OHHHH BOIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII
These days, I can't honestly say one way or the other which episode is the -best- to show off first to people. It -really- depends on who your audience is.
Also, if Cherplunka is resisting this hard, she's merely in denial on her interest at this point.
You may as well tell her she's going to break sooner or later, and she may as well make it sooner.
Then she'll be one of us, one of us
But one night, during a stream, Cola DEMANDED that she join us. Her limitless stubbornness kicked in, and she refuses to watch out of spite of Cola's demand. Sigh.
Speaking of dat wiggle wiggle story, I was chillin in a club recently and that song came on. I laughed so hard that I almost fell over.
Well, I was on a party cruise once with some friends. We were dancing with all the other people, drinking our beers and grooving to the DJ... when this song came on.
We were all floored. It was a REAL song. We all thought it must be some song by a poor retarded kid that got popular virally or something. Or that the DJ was trollin' us.
Nope. It's real. And that's the music video, too. With hot girls dancing. WTF. Sometimes reality is stranger (or more hilarious) than fiction.
