The Best Explanation of "Bronies" I've Seen Yet
"Bronies" being grown-or-almost-grown men fans of "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic".→[More:] Among the massive quantities of related Youtubishness, I found one guy calling himself DerpyLives who made a 3 minute video trying to explain the show's appeal, the heart of which starts at 1:18 (timestamped for your convenience). But then he followed up with a vid explaining the REAL reason guys watch MLP:FIM... the main characters are The Six Types Of Girls You Dated In College. (changed to past tense for those of us long past college, but it is SO TRUE).

Can't access cracked.com at work to link to it, but it reminds me of their list of things romantic comedies need to stop teaching us.

Like I actually dated six girls in college. Or any girls in college.

I know octo, the way I should've phrased it was "The Six Types of Girls You Wanted To Date In College (And Why You Should Be Relieved You Didn't)", but that sounded even more like a Cracked list.

BTW, Here's the Cracked list Eideteker referred to.

Cracked.com is another one of those things in pop culture that benefits from being not as bad as you expect it to be. Interesting content with an often obnoxious editorial voice and often unnecessary list format (but at least they limit the lists to two pages!)

Chalk this up as something I'll never get.
