Well, that was...interesting. :starity:

It is pretty neat to see Discovery Family promos though. :pinkieshrug:

:awkward: :"Wellll! Wellllllll I guess this goes to show you can have too much of a good thing, Equestria's Newest Princess!"
:shock: :"What're you talking about?"

Image :"Weeeeehelllll ... for the longest time all we had was Princess Celestia, and then Princess Luna came on the scene. And that was all right - Equestria started out with two Princesses, they're the Sun and Moon, day and night. It totally makes sense."
:-/ :"Uh huh."
Image :"And then out of nowhere, some cosmic overbeing decided that Equestria needed another Princess."

:3: :"POP! Out of nowhere we have Princess Cadance. She's nice and all, but her mane isn't doing that wavy thing and she's not the Princess of a thing floating around in outer space, she's Princess of Love, of all things. Not really on par with the first two, know what I'm saying?"

:facehoof: :"I see where this is going. Think very carefully about the next words you're going to say."

Image :"Okay, well. The powers that be decided that Equestria needed yet another Princess. "

:awkward: :"And no offense intended, they chose you - a botched spell, a lot of singing, some hocus pocus, and now we have a new princess! You can hardly fly, you're princess of .... something or other ... I don't see a crown on your head, and you're not entirely into the whole princess thing."

:-/ :"Your point being?"

Image :"Well isn't it obvious? Equestria has reached Peak Princess!"

Image :"Peak Princess."

:awkward: :"Yeah! Look at it this way, with Celestia and Luna, Equestria has all the bases it needs covered in the princess department. Up to fifty percent of the Princesses we're ever going to get through regular means have already been got and now we need to turn to some unusual and more creative means -"

:shock: :"What?!"

Image :"Those Princesses will effectively have to come out of Princess shale deposits ... effectively Princess fracking. And sure, Mr and Mrs Equestria will have more Princess available on the cheap."

Image :"But at what cost? You mine for more princess, and the whole structure of the whole thing is going to get a little iffy and more prone to collapse. We're going to get princess cave-ins, princess sinkholes."

Image :"Princess runoff will start leeching into the ground water ...

Image :"and how are we going to find things for these Princesses to be princess Of? Imagine crowdes of unemployed princesses just queuing up at princess office for their tiaras..."

:-I :"You've given me a lot to think about, Rainbow Dash. I'm going home."

:awesomedash: :"See you later, Princess!"

Katie Cook, who writes on the MLP comic book, was also interviewed during one of the Super Bowl bumpers. She talked about her comic strip "Gronk" (apparently it's the same name as one of the players)

Ponies finally made it into a super bowl ads? With original animation no less? We are in the big leagues now. Sobana is well pleased.

I wonder if Hasbro asked or if they were offered?

The NFL produced the ad, so they kind of had to have asked Hasbro for the bit. There were a few others strewn in there as well (Madagascar's Penguins, who are apparently Chargers fans for reasons nobody is aware of), so I imagine someone went down a list somewhere.

Someone divide out how much 2 seconds of Super Bowl ad time is worth, so we can see how much this was worth in actual dollars. :gotcha:

It costs $4.5 million to run a 30 second super bowl ad. Making the pony ad they shown worth about $300,000.

In case you were wondering, that is enough money to buy 50,000 Rainbow Dash brushables, 21,748 Applejack Funko figurines, or 15,000 Friendship Express playsets, which might get you enough track to run it all the way to Canterlot.

Also, Fluttershy is adorable in that helmet :awesomedash:

Wow. I think that's the cost of one 22 minute episode.

I wish they were in Bronco's uniforms. Representing the superior Pony team. But I am glad they made the big game. :awesomedash:

That is probably in the same league as the cost of an entire episode :v:

Luckily I expect the NFL was the one paying for it.

So much character in 24 frames or whatever. :allears:

Fluttershy even flinches when Pinkie rears up.

Dammit, this show, you guys. One, maybe two, seconds, and:

* Each pony is doing their own thing- not one has the same facial expression or "rally" stomping style.
* Fluttershy is doing her "yay" thing instead of cheering
* When they're surprised by Pinkie, Twilight's wings pop out in surprise, but Fluttershy's fold in
* AJ has had just about enough of Pinkie's crap, while Fluts, Rarity, and Twilight are surprised. Dash is oblivious.

:thejoke: : Yes, this is the NFL calling. We're wondering if you would like to do a short bit of your ponies cheering for one of our commercials.

:pcstare: : Um, sure. Why not?

:thejoke: : OK. Could you possibly have one of them wear one of our team's helmets? I know that's probably too much extra work, but...

:gotcha: : Nah, we've done that already. You don't happen to have a team with a unicorn's head for a logo, do you?

:thejoke: : Uh, no. How about the Colts? They've got a horseshoe.

:dwi: : Rockin'. We'll have it out to you guys this afternoon.

...

:thejoke: : That was the weirdest phone call I've ever had.

Hahaha, beautiful. Reminds me of when I would pause the show several times every minute just to drink understand all the character moments that I couldn't possibly have noticed in a single viewing.

WATCH OUT, HASBRO :flail:

... but in all honesty: Really? Super Sparkle? :-/ And a whooooole lot of cringing through out the entire trailer.

Though, it is interesting that this is coming to theaters. Wonder if that has to do with EqG :ponder:

If Mattel were bothered by EqG then I think they'd answer with something related to Monster High, not Barbie.
