Friendship is Ambitious but Rubbish

[davidn]

Frankly, it was a stretch on my mind beyond what most people would reasonably be expected to cope with when America decided to produce its own uncanny alternative-dimension impression of Top Gear. And one of the other things that's been causing me some concern recently is the large number of my friends - most of whom are adult males - talking so enthusiastically about the new My Little Pony cartoon, which has an absolutely wild proliferation of fandom not just among anthropomorphically inclined people but seemingly around the rest of the Internet in general. But now, through some spark of inspiration far beyond the grasp of most humans, somebody has chosen to put them together, forming a mental crisis squared.

Friendship is Ambitious but Rubbish

A great amount of work has gone into the opening in particular, and you've got to admire anything with that title. The appropriateness of chosen scenes and the work on the lip synchronization are both pretty admirable. But I still can't understand why these two things have been combined, or comfortably convince my brain that I'm hearing Jeremy Clarkson's voice booming out of a blue-haired and very female toy miniature horse.

I was passed this video yesterday - so thanks, wolfekko. Though at this point I'm not entirely sure what for.

There's a whole movement for making MLP:FiM videos out of trailers and things. Most of them work better than one would expect.

Edit: Though now that I think about it, my single favorite "oh God why were these things ever crossed over, who could have thought of this, and yet why does it work so surprisingly well" video like that is actually the opposite of that, where they took FiM audio and paired it with Homestuck visuals. (Fanart, not actual site page rips, though I've seen those too.) Unfortunately, I can't show it off because of massive, massive Homestuck spoilers.

All I can think to say at this combination is...

Oh cock.

Trust me, once you see MLP, Rarity seems like a PERFECT FIT for Jeremy Clarkson.

And yes, I admit, I am in the process of watching the whole series. Hello bronydom.
