That's Tropic Thunder. That movie is awesome.
My turn:

That would be Fear and Loathing…

Oh, are we playing The Reference/Parody game?

@level
That's Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas, which I haven't even actually seen but can recognize from its frequent parody.

@mark (since I'm slow)
Emperor New Groove

I doubt this one is very difficult, but I like it:

@Fifth's Bonus
Why don't you people know what a theremin is?

Pretty much the only instrument that you can play without ever touching it (which actually might make it pretty ideal for ponies,what with their lack of fingers…)

@Muumi
Incredible as always!
Is there a story behind that rectangular hole in the monster's chest?
Almost looks like Twi might have ripped that spell book right out of him…

@DeadParrot

Actually there is in fact a small story behind the whole thing.

This pic is part of the "Arcane Set", which is sort of a JRPG inspired alternate timeline, that I use as a basis for some of my drawings. Since some people asked me for a lore, I included a small story to this picture. You can read it in the original source if you want to. I'm not exactly a writer, but it was fun to do anyway.

But if you want the short version, those things are basically the origin of Elements in the lore. And if I go into more detail, their hearts basically incubated new Elements, which could then be harvested and used by those with the potential to do so.

I don't need a title, I was born a conversationalist and I'll DIE a conversationalist.

In other news about that Equestria Girls being fully revealed in that ad I always feel the need to do this when something like that happens, ahem AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I'm sorry for your misfortune.

@DeadParrot

That's Monty Python's Travel Agent sketch.
This one probably isn't too difficult:

So, anyone ever wonder how the French dub did that part from cutie pox where Apple Bloom speaks french? Apparently they just have her speak really old french.

Also, listen to the way French Applejack says "Zecora" at the end. Holy shit does that sound cool.

@Deadparrot

They could probably do a decent job playing brass instruments as well. Valves on trumpets and horns are actually a 19th century invention and before that brass players just used their lips alone to play. You'd be restricted to the notes of the harmonic series, but you could get away with playing a tune on a horn without fingers.

Happy Star Wars Day!

May the forth be with you!

It's that time of the week, the Pony Stream. As usual it will start at 7pm EST.

Stream

I just wonder…..In Equestria girls will the mane 5 (minus Twilight) have the same names as they do now? I mean I can't imagine a human girl running around with the name Applejack or Rainbow Dash (unless in the future when some obsessed bronies have children and name their children after ponies)

@Kewln00b The N00biest: I think that being named Rainbow Dash in the human world is a lesser problem if you have blue skin, rainbow hair, horse ears and a clound with rainbows in your ass!

Everything about EQ Girls keeps scaring me. I wonder If this situation can get even worse. (I just hope it doesn't use cheap flash)
Also what kind of plot could justify sending her to a highschool? It's just nuts!

@Bruno

Also what kind of plot could justify sending her to a highschool? It’s just nuts!

I think the show is operating on Disney logic.

Spike confirmed beatiful prince who has to fuck Rarity in order to regain his human form.

…..it's going to be a difficult quest it seems.

I should think so… the only thing that mutt version of Spike could do to Rarity is hump her leg…

In other words… he's f*cked.

I really couldn't help but laugh at that EQG ad. I guess that's the art style they're sticking with. Considering how Teen Titans Go surprised me with how genuinely enjoyable I found it despite the fact that I was way more cynical about it than I am of EQG, I still have a teensy bit of faith that EQG may in fact be an enjoyable experience one way or another

I need parent's permission to go on mlpeg.com?

@Level4outbreak: Is that a 1984 reference?

I just had a stupid Idea for one tiny piece in my massively convoluted fanfiction… Or at least a back-story piece in this overarching puzzle.

…Basically… Lightning Dust's Real name is Lightning Dash, and is Rainbow Dash's Daughter.

…And then she goes back in time to try and team up with her mother for the Wonderbolts in an attempt to prove herself to both, and get's a rude awakening when things don't go as planned.

Of course, if you add in that she may have already knew that the rest of the Mane six would survive, (possibly since having otherwise may cause a grandfather paradox, depending on your shipping fuel of choice), which would add a small degree of irony, and also a sense realization that Lightning Dash/Dust is missing the point.

Of course… Considering this is My fic we're talking about, shenanigans happen and things get weird… But we can ignore that for now.

@Crimson Locks

I went onto mlpeg.com once.

WITHOUT MY PARENTS' PERMISSION

#2edgy4u

Well, crap. I missed the stream for a second straight week and I can't post pictures because on phone. Anyway, would you guys like to see me make a series of videos where I talk about pony stuff?

@Jimmy

Go for it

I completely forgot to post here today.
Well, 17 minutes ago was yesterday, so…
Let's continue on with references.

Hey, it's transparent!

Kid Icarus
Next One!

Not sure if Courage the Cowardly Dog or Dateline: To Catch a Predator.

@xTSGx and Markhoax14

Thats the episode of Courage the Cowardly Dog that had Fred the Barber.
My Turn:

Firefly.

Next time, try not to use a phrase that's now become a trope.

That doesn't even work. How are Rainbow Dash and Kirino at all alike? Except maybe that they're both fast.
Also, on the topic of EQG; It's very likely going to be horrible, but the great things it has spawned make up for its faults.

Meh it would be awesome though..
Maybe Japan can do something about this. A new doijin maybe? Like..
Powerpuff Girls..

So, I haven't been around much this weekend because of cosplay making

(man I can't wait for Anime Boston 2013)

I just showed one of my best friends Suited for Success (one of my personal favorite episodes) and I am happy to say that she enjoyed it. Not quite sure if this will mean she will watch more of it, but hey at least we got to sit down to breakfast and watch best pone.

We used her family's netflix account to watch the episode, and we noticed that the first 8 episodes were of the first season already watched. It seems someone in her house is a brony and we didn't even realize it. We suspect it's her older brother. I am on the case to further investigate and by that I mean I will just leave it as is and not even bother to find out who the mystery brony is. I will have to sit in my room and sew some more go undercover to investigate this mystery. It is a very not dangerous mission, wish me luck.

@Crimson Locks

Or it could be someone hacked into your friends netflix account just to watch poni. Netflix accounts are always hacked by people like me.

I wanna guess Hangover, because of both Berry Punch and the baby…
Next Reference:

That's Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2.
My turn:

^Photo-negative Mickey Mouse.

A Clockwork Orange?
My turn.

Street Fighter 4.

You'll never get this next one. That is, unless you're a /m/an or a common writer.

<title="I right clicked the image lololo">That is from Kamen Rider series. I don't even know what is that thing.

That's Samus from the Metroid series.
This one should be extremely obvious. If you don't get this, I'll be really disappointed…

I'm Just going to assume this is the Ramones…

(A Friend from Highschool loved that stuff)

So… Umm… I have got the most predictable thing ever…

Let's see….

Drills, mecha, sunglasses, Japanese sword….

I know what it is!

Sailor Moon

Sorry to interrupt the reference guessing, but here is the weekly CMU pony chalking! More importantly, something unusual happened this week. As I was walking out to the club's regular chalking spot, I noticed there was a large greenish chalk drawing already there. As I approached, I was shocked…

It was the Ogrelord! Not only that, but the email address below said "CMUBrogres" in the exact same style the CMUBronies usually did. After crying tears of joy for 30 minutes, I was accosted by the other members of the CMUBronies who informed me the club had changed its focus. I was more than happy to accommodate. Then we went and watched Shrek in our swamp for the rest of the day. The end.

Oh and we also used the leftover chalk to make this, for old time's sake.

More images of the Lyra chalking are here
Also, apparently as the others were making the Shrek chalking, a little girl in an MLP shirt came up and asked them to draw Nightmare Moon. We aren't soulless so this Wednesday we plan to do that.

So yeah, continue on.

@ SkymanKez

That Lyra… is absolutely beautiful…
Bravo to you, good denizen!

Back to the references…

Gears of War, I'm guessing.

From fear of the typical Indiana Jones or Lara Croft reference, I give you this:

@Exudes (Love the new icon, btw!)
Since I literally just played that game (and that specific part) yesterday, I'm going to go with Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception.

And mine:

This has got to be the most adorable SFM animation test I've ever seen!

Why can't more tech demos have so much personality and.. cuteness?
(Check out this guy's other videos, too. He's pretty good!)

I almost choked when i saw that god damn pokemon from laughing.

@DeadParrot

Okay, I know that is some character from the Disgaea series. I haven't actually played any of those games (yet), but I have gone through enough videogame cases while looking for something to buy, to recognize the skull earrings and the wings.

Yes, I pay particular attention to RPG games, especially if I run into JRPG's.


But the real reason I took part in this… thing, is that I wanted to dig up some of my old crossover stuff, and see if anyone can actually recognize where they're from.

So, here's my part in this crossover madness thingy. The background is a telltale, so those familiar with older anime should have no problem with this one.

Hey, guys, I'm aware that you're playing a fun little reference game and all, but I'd like to interrupt you for a…

LETHAL CONTEST!

Now, what is this a contest of, you may ask? You guys may or may not be aware that I ship human/pony Applejack with a reformed and healed Jeff The Killer. Basically, the story goes that AJ, who was born on earth, moves to St. Louis and starts dating Jeff. Jeff goes insane, and when he's about to kill AJ, she manages to restore his sanity. Also, both can access Equestria as ponies due to a genetic mutation.

So, the subject is to write a one-shot about them. It can be about anything, whether it be about how AJ helps Jeff deal with his past a few months after the incident, or something they did before it all happened.

Oh, and to make it interesting, there are no disqualifications. That's right, no limits on how explict your story can be. One thing, though: your story must be at least 500 words.

Anyhow, a couple facts to help you are that both are sports fans and play music, Jeff drums and AJ guitar.

And the prize? I recently began to upload my custom wrestlers from SmackDown! vs. RAW 2010 onto Youtube, the first being (who else?) Jeff. I will make a wrestler for the first and second place finishers. It can even be yourself.

To enter, write your story on either deviantART or FiMFiction and PM me the link. If you don't have an account on either, send it to me via e-mail (JimmyLethal@aol.com).

Hope you guys enter, and for those who do, good luck!

@Lethal Contest

wtf

Even while I've been doing creative writing for years now (to this point nothing involving Equestria… or Jeff), I can't even fathom how I would go about doing this.

Jimmy Lethal wins the Crack Pairing trophy. The rest of you can go home.

>Anthrojack
>Deformed Jeff

You were so fucking close.

That's inaccurate, everyone knows EQG Applejack can only say "Apple". It's canon.
