Review of Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony

Bronies - John de Lancie Pony talks to a hipster fan

Bronies: The Extremely Unexpected Adult Fans of My Little Pony, the documentary that takes a look at the world of Bronies, has finally been released! Anyone who preordered a digital copy through the Kickstarter should have gotten an e-mail with instructions on how to download it. If you weren’t part of that group you can still pick up a digital copy for $12.99 from Scrnland. The download is available in many formats and even the 1080p version can be downloaded in a matter of minutes if you have a fast Internet connection.

I had a chance to check out the movie earlier today. If you haven’t had a chance to watch it yet you can watch the trailer below. Keep reading for my review of the film.

“Hot in Cleveland” takes on Bronies

Joy is unimpressed with Sean's My Little Pony costume in "Hot in Cleveland"

This week’s episode of “Hot in Cleveland” featured a rare prime time portrayal of a Brony! It basically boiled down to an adult in a fur suit played for laughs but what can you expect from this show? The episode in question is season 4 episode 6 “Cleveland Fantasy Con” with an air date of January 2nd.

I had never seen an episode of TV Land’s “Hot in Cleveland” before today so you’ll forgive me if I’m not totally on board with the formula of old ladies making sex jokes and us finding it funny because … they’re old? I must say it’s refreshing to see a bit of a role reversal with older women being in relationships with relatively younger men but that didn’t make the bad jokes any funnier. Don’t tell the live studio audience about that though because the laughs that ensued after the most bland comments were enough to make the Big Bang Theory’s audience sound like guests at a funeral.

Now I understand the irony of a grown man who watches a show for little girls criticizing a show for old ladies so let’s just look at the episode in question. You can watch the episode on Amazon Instant Video using the links below or if you’re American you can watch it on the TV Land web site.

Gameloft updates My Little Pony game with Big Lebowski Pony and more

Gameloft announced an update to the iOS version of their My Little Pony game. While the game is out on both Android and iOS devices, the news update on their site only mentioned an update for the iOS version. This winter update brings us many bug fixes along with three new ponies; Teacher’s Pet, Pip Squeak, and Bowling Pony. It sounds like an Ice Cream Shop and Log Cabin have also been added.

I think we can all agree here that the real story is that another Big Lebowski pony was added to the game.
