My friends and I had gotten together for a Mutants and Masterminds game, but John was late, so we started watching My Little Pony as a joke. The laughter soon stopped as we were drawn into the well-crafted story and the deep characters. You need to watch this, I don't care what you'll have to endure socially, just do it. It will be the best thing you've ever done in your life.

Are you talking about the old one from the 80's or the new one that shows on the Hub?

Nah, bro, the new one! Although I'll give the old one a look.

To Help support this due to the fact that Mordo fails at explaining why it's awesome. The first episode deals with the 6 pony postergirls(?) having to find the 6 elements of the land in order to bring light back to it. So they go on an epic adventure to find these elements. In this adventure they 'battle' a manticore, along with several other situations. The shows isn't amazingly stupid, and the humor isn't horrible either; essentially if i were to change the names around, it would be an Epic D&D campaign. Yes MLP is for girls, but the new show is amazing, and strangely enough the demographics for the show actually say that men from 18-35 watch the show more than girls 7-17. I would suggest watching it, but make sure that you are either with a bunch of friends, or completely alone.

Everything is partying sleep overs and make overs. However while such stuff has its place in a cartton aimed at girls, the new license holder Lauren Faust wanted to change things and got permission from Hasbro to revamp the cartoon and put her own mark on it.
It worked. My Little ponty : Friendship Is magic is some of the best stuff to hit the TV in recent years, or in this case, hit YouTube. Hasbro wisely didnt interfere when YouTube epsisodes appeared and they quickly atracted a second target audience. Men aged 20-40.
This I believe is because ghe animation is fresh the characters likeable rather than the cliche cartoon females which are either very prim and pristine or young and innocent. The six main cast ponies are young adult characters, equivalent 18-21 year olds. The child ponies are clearly different. They are not annoying, have lost plump kiddie toy imagery for something more cross genre, and lost the annoying voice overs too. What you get instead are imaginative plots boosted by the fact that the ponies are distinctly feminine but accessible to male viewers in a non sexual way. Meaning the plot lines are feminine which is workable in its own way, and orginal as the vast majority of cartoons are from a masculine perspective.
If you hunt down an episode or two read the comments below. you will get a lot of comments along the lines of 'I am a 30+ man, wehy am I hooked on this show?.
I was introduced to my Little Pony via this thread on the Classic Battltech forums, not exactly a hangout of pre-teen females. I was encourtaged to watch some episodes. I will link a start here. I was initially reluctant but quickly converted, so much so I was planning to start a thread covering pretty much what I posted right here in the week sometime.
Stick with it for the payoff, this show is much better than it might first appear and deserves a chance. Even if you are likely not a 7-11 year old girl.

There is Muffin the Mule which is apparently is illegal in all states, but is known in certain hick backwaters. That is bad enough, but Sadomuffin the Pony is going WAAAY too far imho.
