The people I know that watch the show are usually creepy attention whores. They bring it up every chance they get, it seems they feed off people's disbelief that they watch the show.

Is this Pony thing new? Cause all of a sudden its popping up everywhere with my friends o_O

Not so new, its just that it is now infesting more vestiges of the internet and it happens it happens that your friends were exposed to the pony rot. However, Fear not brother, for IS2 watches over Tripwires holy domain and no bronie with their pony memes can push IS2's dominant figure out of this site. :IS2:

Do these people actually watch the shows in it's entirety? Do they actually enjoy the show itself or is it that they like the idea of people knowing that they "enjoy" it?

If these people couldn't talk about it or tell anybody in any way that they watched the show, would they still watch it?

Yes, yes they would.

Yes, yes they would.

No, without anyone else to pretend it's cool to do so with, they would stop just as any intelligent adult would.

Now, Regular Show and Adventure Time on the other hand, those are good cartoons.

After watching the first episode out of morbid curiosity, two things:

-This is the same exact plot every generic WRPG ever has used.
-It's still better than the writing of most kids shows these days.

I always thought older people who like this show had some sort of 'lure the children in by liking the stuff they do' predator strategy.

I have not changed my opinion.

Look at all the people obsessed with Spongebob though. Wasn't that designed for like... 8 year olds? Most of the people I know it who like it are not attenion whores or anything either... they genuinly think it's hilarious. I never "got it" myself... I'll stick to the Simpsons:

Searching for survivors.
Because of this thread I watched the pilot. I'm now almost done watching the first season. The show is hilarious and really cute. It is a nice change of pace from shows I normally watch, Game of Thrones, Sons of Anarchy, Breaking Bad, etc..

Spongebob is completely different. There is a lot of adult humor in it and is made for all kids whereas My Little Pony is directed at young girls as far as I know. Is there adult humor in it?

I mean christ, it's not as if Spongebob was on the air for 20 years with no interest from adults and then after some message board started going on about it all of a sudden it became a phenomenon.... which is what happend with MLP, if I'm not mistaken? There just seems something so phony about it.
