Oh yeah, “Clops” (NOT what you bronies think it is!) and the Kenny Rogers bits were hilarious. Especially, “Kenny Roger’s Jackass.”

@Beau Skunky  
It’s so okay,its average.They had some funny bits,but alot of my disliking comes from both the basic “its funny because its a reference” humor and my bias against a lot of sketch comedy(but hey,at least the animators from el tigre got to do some of the short’s art).
 
Cared even less for the live action version,unless it had to do with Clops (claymation parody of cops with various fictional characters) or quite possibly one of the greatest sketch comedy characters,Kenny Rogers.Seriously one of the funniest things I’ve seen.

This is old news when they took a shot at “Equestria Girls.”
 
Also, personally, I think it’s a hit-or-miss show, some bits are funny, some arn’t. (Same with the more adult “Robot Chicken.”)  
Some of their parodies are amsuing. I also like how Tara Strong actually voiced in the pony parodies they did.

I actually liked that show MAD TV sometimes.

@Background Pony #771D
 
I am aware. I was just explaining why the tag here is called that.

@VoltraTheLively  
There was also a live-action skit-based show (sort of like SNL) on FOX called “MAD TV”, a couple years back:

@BleedingHeart
 
“mad tv” is the tag. As in Mad the television show.

Oh, I get it! It’s funny because it’s a pop culuture reference! /s

@Background Pony #61FA  
Me too

UGH Its supposed to be ‘mad on Cartoon Network’  
Mad Tv has been dead for years

WE KNOW  
It’s old

i never did like that show, praise for it was also pretty scarce based on feedback i saw.

Just remember everyone, MLP always was a cash-cow franchise.

As an avid reader of MAD as a kid - the show has most accurately captured the kind of spontaneousness, lack of vulgarity, and pop-culture based humor the magazine revolves around quite well. I would have loved it as a kid…but KABLAM! was good enough.

Awesome!

They can’t spend every waking minute on the Internet. They don’t have time to go to communities where their fans congregate nearly as often as the fans themselves do. They have the viewpoint society has on the issue; that it’s a crime.
 
It takes a few times for them to realize that there’s really no threat and that people are blowing smoke. But the first time is probably scary, and could make some be more apprehensive to a community that they original reached out to as a courtesy.

@someguy111  
Honestly, if they tried to sue Time Warner over this, it’d be like suing over a joke or reference on Family Guy, it would just make them look a little ‘douchey’.

@Itsthinking  
but to the industry professional who interacts with fans out of their own personal need to please “them” it is very serious.
 
would you please explain that more?

@someguy111  
Oh, there were doxxing attempts and death threats. The latter is pretty much the Internet’s way of saying “hello,” but to the industry professional who interacts with fans out of their own personal need to please “them” it is very serious.

@Itsthinking  
Nowadays it’s hard for me to tell when something is meant to taken as a joke or seriously, like sarcasm in the internet.

@someguy111  
It’s all a parody, not like mad is a very serious show…

@someguy111  
They do the legally required art change to make it so that it falls under parody. Apparently they can call her Rainbow Dash but it can’t look too much like her.

@someguy111  
Plus I’d argue that since many fans want “the producers’” heads on pikes, they’d just point to this as a genuine piece of criticism rather than a joke.

@Itsthinking  
I don’t watch MAD but that’s pretty interesting. I wonder if anyone has ever considered it a conflict of interest.

@someguy111  
Oh, of course. I mean Tara Strong is on the cast of MAD for crissakes. She does all of the voices for the ponies whenever they do a parody. Was kind of interesting to hear her interpretation of RD.
