An obscure My Little Pony reference came from an unlikely source this week as what is arguably the worst show in television history, Seth MacFarlane’s The Cleveland Show, included a sign with a hidden messages. The letters TSRDFSPPRAJ appeared on a sign held by the Cleveland Brown, the show’s horribly unfunny titular character. These letters stand for Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack.
As far as I can gather, from the short part of the episode I could tolerate watching, in the episode “Brown Magic”, Cleveland is pretending that his annoying son Rallo is a ventriloquist’s dummy, and they go to jail for “four count of ventriloquist fraud” in an abrupt ending sequence that consists only of a few stills. They are holding letterboards for their mugshots which include this message. Note that as they are sitting while taking their mugshots, the height indicators serve no purpose, which is all right, since those numbers would never actually make it into the picture being taken, though they do move depending on the shot. This sort of lack of attention to detail is typical of horrible, horrible shows.
Catch the Cleveland Show on Fox, home of many shows by Seth MacFarlane about a fat annoying man, his hot wife, annoying children and … does Cleveland Show have a talking animal? It must… The show plays Sundays and has been preemptively renewed until 2058.
The mane thing here that obviously someone on the crew realized that it would be easy to exploit the bronies unbridled love of things equine that a vague string of letters would get noticed. Once noticed this string of letters would make the bronies hot to trot and get them a bale full of free press and new fans that will go to no end to support MLP. The bronies have been ridden hard and put away wet.
Maybe. Alternatively, as much as I hate the show, there could be some Pony fan in the mix with little creative input who put this here as a joke.
You are grown men watching a show targeted at little girls and you have the gall to call a show horrible when they make a small reference to it because obviously someone on the show enjoys it? You autists will stop at nothing to get others to hate you.
Not at all. I call it horrible because it is horrible, this has nothing to do with the fact that they referenced a much better show.
I think its great that this article wasn’t biased at all.
*sarcasm*
What is this, Fox News? I have no need to be unbiased. The Cleveland Show sucks. Fact!
Seriously, it never ceases to amaze me how stupid bronies can be
I like both
Me, too.
I love MLP and CS mixed in one is great
