If I recall correctly, the bronies complaining about Derpy are worried that Derpy would be a recurring character used just for gags, coupled with the fact that Tabitha used a deep retarded sounding voice, which might be interpreted the wrong way by parents. Most likely, parents wouldn't know about the inside jokes in the brony fandom. It wasn't just the Last Roundup that got removed. welovefine renamed all their Derpy items, and all instances of Derpy on Tabitha's (VA of Derpy) blog were replaced with _____ . The Last Roundup got removed a long time before the welovefine thing happened though. I thought I saw posts about its removal probably a few days to a week after it aired. Interestingly enough, this prompted a whole bunch of emails to Hasbro and Tabitha in support of Derpy, to one of which Hasbro responded saying they wouldn't be changing the name of Derpy. I'm still not sure what the whole story surrounding the Derpy controversy is though. On an unrelated note, Hearts and Hooves Day got accidentally prereleased on iTunes. The MLP subreddit is blowing up about it. ^Is that next week's episode? MUST....GET! I'm going to wait until after it actually airs tomorrow until I watch it. Also interestingly enough, part of the reason Derpy sounded like she did was that Tabitha thought that Derpy was a boy and gave her a tomboyish voice. I don't know whether this makes the situation better or worse. Well hopefully this matter will be solved peacefully. |

Speaking of the Hearts and Hooves episode, what did y'all think of it? I feel like the moral, since there was no actual letter to Celestia, could apply to shippers in the fandom. Kind of like how the Reading Rainbow episode could be paralleled to bronies when they first watched MLP. And Sweetie Belle sings! And it sounds amazing! And there are jelly ponies!  Wut. EDIT: That was a large jelly pony.
Oops, he has black background ...oh wellerz. Still is jelly pony :3 -thadudette |

Images ... so ... big ... Must ... resize! *head explodes*  Although I don't know what to do about GIFs...*sits there not knowing what to do about GIFs*  On-topic: Latest episode was alright ... I don't really know what to say about it. "Why do I look like I'm getting married at the bottom of a pit?" XD Not a random line at all :3 |

No prob, thanks for fixing it ;D I wonder if somebody really has a screen that stretches with images past 600 pixels or more ... On-topic: Did anyone else think about Reading Rainbow in the episode before the last? |

^Yep. Not sure if it was intentional on Hasbro's part or not. Remember that Teens React to MLP video that was pretty bad, but not as bad as I thought it could be, but still misrepresented the show and fandom horribly? Well we now have a Bronies React to: Teens React to MLP video, featuring ACRacebest of Party Rock Anthem PMV fame, Yaplap of the F**KING songs (VOLUME WARNING) series fame, DustyKatt of Manliest Brony in the World fame, TheLivingTombstone of Beyond Her Garden Remix, Sister Hate, and Discord Remix (among others) fame, BronyMike of Becoming Popular cover fame, and d.notive of Becoming Popular remix and Let Your Mane Down fame. |

^That teens react thing was HORRIBLE.
I mean, they act more immature than I do, and that's saying something.
"Girls rule, boys drool?" seriously?
That's what kindergardeners say. Seriously.

AAAAAhhhh Pinkie Pie episode today with wonderful songs! ^Totally. Not to mention a nice multimedia touch with the felt, and then the black-and-white past portion. Anyone think Doodle looked better without the blond wig though? |

Hey! Nopony calls him Doodle  Speaking of his name, I can't have been the only GFF brony to think of Cyber Death Dragon when they said Property of CDD. ;D Yeah, keeping the blonde wig on seemed kind of weird to me, but I guess it's supposed to show that he appreciates Pinkie's gift. The blonde wig actually reminded me of Steven Magnet a bit. |

Hasbro makes pretty much every toy. Atari is owned by Hasbro; Milton-Bradley is owned by Hasbro, so pretty much every board game, including Battleships, Monopoly, Scrabble, D&D, M:TG; Hasbro also makes NERF, Play Doh, and Pokemon toys.
Plus, ponies are awesome, like Transformers ;D

On top of having no new episode this week, The Last Roundup has been rereleased on iTunes with a redubbed Derpy and no mention of her name. While I do like Derpy's new voice, it's disappointing that Hasbro has decided to remove Derpy from the show.  |

There was an episode this week, but the Hub's schedule changed and MLP's slot was moved 3 hours later. This means the episodes will come out on youtube 3 hours later than usual. On the bright side, I woke up in time to watch the livestreams for the first time! ;D

Here is Xyro's upload in 1080p: www.youtube.com/watch?v=_9JJFyImLwwIt's another Merriwhether Williams episode, and I guess it suffers the same sort of problems that the Mare Do Well episode had, i.e. oversimplified characters and plot devices that seem contrived specifically for the occasion. I guess it's just her writing style. However, on the whole, I think this episode was pretty good. There were so many hilarious moments that they outweighed the the parts that seemed out of place. |
