00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:00.800
Okay,

00:00:00.800 --> 00:00:06.580
so ever since I uploaded the original "10 Minutes
of Useless Information" video about My Little Pony

00:00:06.580 --> 00:00:14.060
back in April of 2022, I've been slowly compiling 
more and more useless info about MLP

00:00:14.060 --> 00:00:15.600
for quite some time now.

00:00:15.600 --> 00:00:18.656
and because this is a pretty cool video format

00:00:18.650 --> 00:00:21.072
(and the first one got a lot of views)

00:00:21.072 --> 00:00:23.800
I proudly present to you the sequel:

00:00:23.800 --> 00:00:28.240
15 Minutes of Useless Information
 about My Little Pony.

00:00:28.240 --> 00:00:35.080
Before we start though, like last time, 
I'm mostly just going to focus on Gen. 4 and 5 here.

00:00:35.100 --> 00:00:37.600
The other three generations of MLP are cool.

00:00:37.600 --> 00:00:43.300
I've watched a bit of them, but they're not
exactly my specialty (if you get what I mean).

00:00:43.300 --> 00:00:49.260
Anyways, this intro is probably getting
 too long now, so without further ado...

00:00:49.260 --> 00:00:50.560
...let's begin.

00:00:58.600 --> 00:01:03.920
On The Hub Network's website in 2011,
during a contest called "Naughty or nice",

00:01:03.920 --> 00:01:07.460
the character Discord is incorrectly
 labeled as a dragon

00:01:07.460 --> 00:01:10.360
despite him, well, being a draconequus.

00:01:10.360 --> 00:01:15.120
in addition to this, this artwork of Discord
featured in this promo video

00:01:15.120 --> 00:01:19.100
is actually fanart created by
the Deviantart user Briskby

00:01:19.100 --> 00:01:21.664
and was used without their permission.

00:01:21.880 --> 00:01:25.760
The voice actor for the pony
 called "Snips" is Lee Tockar.

00:01:25.760 --> 00:01:29.420
However, in the Gen. 4
spin-off cartoon "Pony Life"

00:01:29.420 --> 00:01:32.890
the voice of Snips was instead
performed by Ian Hamlin

00:01:32.890 --> 00:01:36.880
who normally voices the character Sunburst
in MLP:FIM.

00:01:37.136 --> 00:01:42.260
In the full version of the "Gonna be My Day" song
 from the MLP: A New Generation movie

00:01:42.260 --> 00:01:46.112
the word "Gonna" is sung thirty-seven different times.

00:01:46.240 --> 00:01:50.510
During the beginning part of the
My Little Pony: Rainbow Roadtrip special

00:01:50.510 --> 00:01:56.160
Starlight and Trixie can both be briefly seen
in the background of this shot.

00:01:56.310 --> 00:02:02.990
In Issue #1 of IDW's MLP comic spin-off series
entitled "FIENDship is Magic"

00:02:02.990 --> 00:02:09.584
a ponified version of an Attack on Titan poster
can be seen on a wall inside of Sombra's bedroom.

00:02:09.780 --> 00:02:11.792
In February of 2013,

00:02:11.790 --> 00:02:16.480
 in the comments of the infamous
"Cupcakes HD" animation by MisterDavie

00:02:16.480 --> 00:02:20.670
the YouTube user
deltaconduit commented:

00:02:20.670 --> 00:02:24.400
"I dare Twilight to try to bring Rainbow Dash back to life

00:02:24.400 --> 00:02:25.424
XD"

00:02:25.600 --> 00:02:30.750
During December of 2018, in order
to celebrate the upcoming holiday season,

00:02:30.750 --> 00:02:34.990
Hasbro set up an actual phone number
that anybody could call toll-free

00:02:34.990 --> 00:02:36.720
to talk to the Mane Six.

00:02:36.720 --> 00:02:41.100
How it worked is that once you called in
Princess Celestia would automatically

00:02:41.100 --> 00:02:43.210
answer the phone as an operator.

00:02:43.210 --> 00:02:47.420
From there, you could choose whichever one
of the Mane Six you wanted to talk to,

00:02:47.420 --> 00:02:50.540
and then a pre-recorded
Happy Hearth's Warming message

00:02:50.540 --> 00:02:53.240
from whichever pony you chose would play.

00:02:53.240 --> 00:02:58.890
Hasbro would take the phone number out of service
after the holiday season ended in only 2019;

00:02:58.890 --> 00:03:02.760
however, there are still a few videos around
of the number being called

00:03:02.760 --> 00:03:05.264
if you want to have an idea of what it was like.

00:03:05.450 --> 00:03:11.370
In the release page for version 2.0.2
of the media player VLC

00:03:11.370 --> 00:03:18.510
a screenshot of the program playing the season 1
MLP.FIM episode "Party of One" can be seen.

00:03:18.510 --> 00:03:22.192
The My Little Pony: Frienship is Magic
song "A Kirin Tale"

00:03:22.192 --> 00:03:25.660
that appears in the
season 9 episode "Sounds of Silence"

00:03:25.660 --> 00:03:29.888
is exactly three minutes and fourty-eight seconds in length.

00:03:30.120 --> 00:03:34.704
In issue #2 of the Generation 5 MLP comics by IDW

00:03:34.704 --> 00:03:40.032
the word "The" is spoken in dialogue
bubbles exactly fifty different times.

00:03:40.170 --> 00:03:41.776
In June of 2011,

00:03:41.776 --> 00:03:46.780
in order to promote the at the time upcoming
second season of FIM on The Hub Network,

00:03:46.780 --> 00:03:53.150
Hasbro decided to put up a physical Bridlemaids
billboard by a highway located in Los Angeles

00:03:53.150 --> 00:03:56.800
that parodied a poster for the movie Birdesmaids.

00:03:56.800 --> 00:04:01.370
Later in October of the same year
they would do something similar for Halloween,

00:04:01.370 --> 00:04:06.832
but this time with a Ponygeist billboard
that parodied a Poltergeist poster.

00:04:06.960 --> 00:04:12.830
This image of the Gen. 5 pony Izzy Moonbow
accompanied by nothing but the word "Ponies"

00:04:12.830 --> 00:04:16.880
can be found on the official
MLP store page on Amazon.

00:04:17.020 --> 00:04:22.016
In 2014, this giant inflated 
Twilight Sparkle balloon float

00:04:22.010 --> 00:04:25.552
was flown in a holiday parade
in the country of Chile.

00:04:25.550 --> 00:04:30.480
And three years later, in 2017, the float
would make a surprise comeback

00:04:30.480 --> 00:04:32.512
in another holiday parade.

00:04:32.510 --> 00:04:34.864
And on a — somewhat — related note,

00:04:34.860 --> 00:04:40.288
Twilight's voice actor Tara Strong
also decided to make... this interesting tweet

00:04:40.280 --> 00:04:42.272
about the float on Twitter.

00:04:42.270 --> 00:04:46.192
And, speaking of odd tweets posted by Tara Strong...

00:04:46.190 --> 00:04:51.648
...two years prior in 2012
she published this tweet that says:

00:04:51.640 --> 00:04:56.368
"I know I've a tewwible Twolling tease today and I'm sorry.

00:04:57.072 --> 00:05:00.752
EXTREME close up of my butt to make it up to you..."

00:05:01.040 --> 00:05:06.544
During the MLP: Friendship is Magic
season 3 episode "Too Many Pinkie Pies"

00:05:06.540 --> 00:05:11.616
the word "Fun" is spoken out loud around 289 times.

00:05:11.690 --> 00:05:17.984
For one single frame at the 11-minute mark
in the MLP episode "Fall Weather Friends"

00:05:17.984 --> 00:05:23.070
an animation error where Rainbow Dash
seemingly has two separate heads

00:05:23.070 --> 00:05:24.912
can be briefly be seen.

00:05:25.070 --> 00:05:29.744
The exact combined runtime
for all eight episodes of chapter two

00:05:29.740 --> 00:05:33.360
of the My Little Pony:
Make Your Mark series on Netflix

00:05:33.360 --> 00:05:37.280
is approximately 176 minutes.

00:05:37.920 --> 00:05:40.608
On May 11th 2016,

00:05:40.608 --> 00:05:47.900
 Daniel Ingram, the primary music composer for FIM,
posted this tweet to Twitter, which reads:

00:05:47.900 --> 00:05:52.240
"Hitting the grocery store
celebrating an epic day in MLP history

00:05:52.240 --> 00:05:54.416
#secret project";

00:05:54.410 --> 00:05:58.080
and attached to the post was this selfie.

00:05:58.080 --> 00:06:00.896
In the 2017 My Little Pony movie,

00:06:00.890 --> 00:06:06.688
Twilight Sparkle and Pinkie Pie are technically
the only two members of the Mane Six

00:06:06.680 --> 00:06:12.560
 to actually directly speak to the character
Tempest Shadow throughout the entire runtime.

00:06:12.720 --> 00:06:18.288
In a Reddit "Ask Me Anything" from August of 2011
posted by Jayson Thiessen,

00:06:18.280 --> 00:06:21.296
a supervising director for MLP:FIM,

00:06:21.296 --> 00:06:26.490
he was asked a question regarding
if they were ever going to add humans to the show.

00:06:26.490 --> 00:06:28.016
he responded with:

00:06:28.010 --> 00:06:29.344
"Heavens no!"

00:06:29.740 --> 00:06:30.688
...

00:06:31.056 --> 00:06:34.944
Riley Murdock, one of the writers
and video presenters

00:06:34.940 --> 00:06:38.320
for the popular tech YouTube channel
"Linus Tech Tips"

00:06:38.320 --> 00:06:43.296
actually did some voice work
for two minor characters in MLP:FIM,

00:06:43.290 --> 00:06:47.152
the first one being the unnamed
Manehattan escape room attendant

00:06:47.150 --> 00:06:50.112
in the season 7 episode "All Bottled Up"

00:06:50.110 --> 00:06:56.480
and the second one being an unnamed student
in the season 8 episode "Friendship University".

00:06:56.680 --> 00:07:04.384
In the MLP fan song and animation "The Moon Rises"
there is a brief lyric sung in Latin by a choir:

00:07:04.380 --> 00:07:06.112
"In umbra Luna est"

00:07:06.110 --> 00:07:11.280
which when translated to English means
"The Moon is in the shadow"

00:07:11.664 --> 00:07:19.152
On February 4th 2011, an article would be posted
to the MLP news wbsite "Equestria Daily"

00:07:19.150 --> 00:07:22.880
talking about the at the time
upcoming episode "Show Stoppers".

00:07:22.880 --> 00:07:25.136
The article says:

00:07:25.130 --> 00:07:28.176
"So, two crusader episodes in a row?

00:07:28.170 --> 00:07:32.256
I think 'Call of the Cutie'
was my least favourite episode.

00:07:32.250 --> 00:07:36.320
I really hope Twitch
isn't included in this in any way.

00:07:36.320 --> 00:07:39.200
Same goes for those аsshоle gray ones."

00:07:39.360 --> 00:07:43.056
About a month prior to the official
announcement of Pony Life,

00:07:43.050 --> 00:07:50.208
this image posted in October of 2019 on the official
My Little Pony Facebook and Instagram accounts

00:07:50.200 --> 00:07:55.808
for some weird reason features
a Pony Life version of Spike's design

00:07:55.800 --> 00:07:58.064
which looks... incredibly odd...

00:07:58.060 --> 00:08:02.192
...when put *literally* right next
to the normal Gen. 4 art style.

00:08:02.380 --> 00:08:06.384
In the My Little Pony:
Meet the Ponies of Maretime Bay book

00:08:06.380 --> 00:08:13.344
there is one page that features a rough depiction
of the map of Equestria within generation 5.

00:08:13.340 --> 00:08:17.712
If you look at the sea part of the map
in the lower half of the image though,

00:08:17.710 --> 00:08:22.112
you will find that there are
eighteen total visible fish in the water

00:08:22.110 --> 00:08:25.632
(plus one random sea pony,
which is pretty neat I guess.)

00:08:25.720 --> 00:08:32.048
On page 15 of the second issue
of the Micro-Series MLP comics by IDW

00:08:32.040 --> 00:08:36.864
The term "Brohoof" is used
when Rainbow Dash checks on Tank.

00:08:37.008 --> 00:08:39.840
And, speaking of pets from Gen. 4,

00:08:39.840 --> 00:08:46.240
Rarity's cat Opalescence appears on screen
in 23 different episodes of FIM,

00:08:46.240 --> 00:08:50.624
Pinkie Pie's pet alligator Gummy
appears in 25 episodes,

00:08:50.620 --> 00:08:55.600
while Applejack's pet dog Winona
appears in 17 episodes.

00:08:55.840 --> 00:09:00.000
The popular MLP fanfiction
titled "My Little Dashie"

00:09:00.000 --> 00:09:04.848
was first initially released
on September 26th 2011,

00:09:04.840 --> 00:09:10.208
and is approximately 12,454 words in length.

00:09:10.200 --> 00:09:14.640
Meanwhile, StormXF3's
video adaptation of the fanfiction

00:09:14.640 --> 00:09:22.144
was released on Youtube in January of 2014
and is 27 minutes and 31 seconds long.

00:09:22.368 --> 00:09:26.864
In this official FIM season 1
character cast poster

00:09:26.860 --> 00:09:33.872
initially released at San Diego Comic Con 2011
there are a total of 68 characters

00:09:33.870 --> 00:09:35.440
depicted in the image.

00:09:35.440 --> 00:09:40.560
While in the one that was made for season 2
there are 88 total characters.

00:09:40.560 --> 00:09:46.720
And finally, for the season 4 poster,
there are 91 total characters within the image.

00:09:46.944 --> 00:09:48.816
In July of 2013

00:09:48.810 --> 00:09:57.648
the fillydelphia.com forum user Ayame_ExGoddess
made this forum post showing and talking about

00:09:57.640 --> 00:10:01.232
 their new Nightmare Moon brushable pony toy.

00:10:01.230 --> 00:10:07.680
the first reply to this thread was by a forum user
called LennonFan, and they said:

00:10:07.680 --> 00:10:08.560
"*gasps*

00:10:08.560 --> 00:10:10.736
Princess Moon has arrived!

00:10:10.730 --> 00:10:11.648
Huzzah!"

00:10:11.776 --> 00:10:16.464
In the season 5 episode of FIM "Castle Sweet Castle"

00:10:16.460 --> 00:10:20.592
during the scene wherein the Mane Six
are all having breakfast together

00:10:20.590 --> 00:10:24.640
they consume roughly about
fifty whole pancakes in total;

00:10:24.640 --> 00:10:27.584
though it is worth noting
that the majority of that number

00:10:27.580 --> 00:10:29.856
can be attributed to Pinkie Pie.

00:10:30.160 --> 00:10:35.488
According to the MLP:FIM show bible document
that was created in 2009,

00:10:35.480 --> 00:10:40.224
the character Apple Bloom
was originally going to be called Apple Seed;

00:10:40.220 --> 00:10:44.000
in addition to this, an earlier version
of Rainbow Dash's cutie mark

00:10:44.000 --> 00:10:45.344
can also be seen here,

00:10:45.340 --> 00:10:49.104
with the cloud portion of its design
not having been added yet.

00:10:49.100 --> 00:10:51.904
Something that you likely didn't know though

00:10:51.900 --> 00:10:57.808
is that this early version of her cutie mark
actually briefly appears in the show itself;

00:10:57.808 --> 00:11:02.090
at around the 9 minute mark
in the season 1 episode "Dragonshy"

00:11:02.090 --> 00:11:07.776
if you slow down or pause right when Rainbow Dash
is jumping across the cliff in this scene

00:11:07.770 --> 00:11:11.216
you can clearly see it there for a few good frames.

00:11:11.536 --> 00:11:15.664
There exists an official
MLP-themed Monopoly board;

00:11:15.660 --> 00:11:18.560
it's called Monopoly: My Little Pony edition

00:11:18.560 --> 00:11:23.360
and the first version of it
was released sometime in July of 2013.

00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:27.728
while several subsequent
Monopoly Junior versions of the tabletop game

00:11:27.728 --> 00:11:27.744
were released a few years later.
while several subsequent
Monopoly Junior versions of the tabletop game

00:11:27.744 --> 00:11:29.824
were released a few years later.

00:11:29.920 --> 00:11:35.408
According to Cozy Glow in the season 8
MLP:FIM episode "School Daze"

00:11:35.400 --> 00:11:38.464
Starlight Glimmer doesn't like mustard.

00:11:38.460 --> 00:11:40.000
And, speaking of Starlight,

00:11:40.000 --> 00:11:45.664
she makes at least one on-screen appearance
in exactly fifty-five different episodes

00:11:45.660 --> 00:11:49.008
throughout seasons 5 to 9 of the show.

00:11:49.168 --> 00:11:52.464
In the book Rarity and the Curious Case of Charity

00:11:52.460 --> 00:11:57.080
The seventeeth word that can be read
on the thirty-ninth page of the book is...

00:11:57.088 --> 00:11:58.000
...

00:11:58.000 --> 00:11:58.912
..."Magic".

00:11:59.216 --> 00:12:01.744
On October 7th 2013

00:12:01.740 --> 00:12:06.720
the Youtube user Kyle F posted
this short video clip they recorded

00:12:06.720 --> 00:12:12.270
 of a My Little Pony live performance
wherein the performer playing Twilight Sparkle

00:12:12.270 --> 00:12:14.176
falls off stage.

00:12:14.576 --> 00:12:15.584
Believe it or not,

00:12:15.580 --> 00:12:21.296
but the three diamond dogs that appear
in the FIM episode "A Dog and Pony Show"

00:12:21.290 --> 00:12:23.104
actually have names.

00:12:23.100 --> 00:12:27.216
According to Lauren Faust
the leader dog is called Rover,

00:12:27.210 --> 00:12:29.392
this big dog is called Fido,

00:12:29.390 --> 00:12:32.128
and this other dog is called Spot.

00:12:32.416 --> 00:12:34.960
In October of 2022

00:12:34.960 --> 00:12:39.984
the MLP Instagram account posted this
Do-It-Yourself instructional video

00:12:39.980 --> 00:12:41.040
about this...

00:12:41.040 --> 00:12:41.904
...weird аss...

00:12:41.900 --> 00:12:46.352
...toilet paper cardboard tube Misty Brightdawn thing...

00:12:46.350 --> 00:12:47.856
...Yeah, if I'm going to be honest,

00:12:47.850 --> 00:12:50.896
I... don't know what exactly they were trying to do here.

00:12:51.008 --> 00:12:55.120
The season 8 FIM episode "The Hearth's Warming Club"

00:12:55.120 --> 00:12:59.952
was the first episode where Pinkie Pie
was the only member of the Mane Six

00:12:59.950 --> 00:13:02.304
not to make a single appearance.

00:13:02.300 --> 00:13:09.584
In addition to this, the current average rating
for the episode on IMDb is 7.8/10.

00:13:09.808 --> 00:13:14.576
In the Seaquestria and Beyond
My Little Pony collectable card game set

00:13:14.570 --> 00:13:21.616
the card entitled "Trixie Lulamoon™
Sleight of Hoof" has a decription on it that says:

00:13:21.610 --> 00:13:26.032
"Trixie has been adding more
unicorn magic into her stage show,

00:13:26.030 --> 00:13:30.960
but sometimes a whole crate of fireworks
is the best way to make an impression."

00:13:31.200 --> 00:13:37.040
In an mlpforums.com thread
created on October 12th of 2017

00:13:37.040 --> 00:13:42.624
discussing the age old question
of which character from FIM is the best pony

00:13:42.620 --> 00:13:46.128
the user Firedog replied with:

00:13:46.120 --> 00:13:50.880
"This random OC I found off
Google Images is best pony

00:13:50.880 --> 00:13:53.680
10/10 best OC ever".

00:13:53.936 --> 00:13:58.176
In the MLP:FIM episode "Inspiration Manifestation"

00:13:58.170 --> 00:14:02.864
the word "Oh" is spoken out loud
exactly twenty-four times,

00:14:02.860 --> 00:14:05.616
the word "No" thirteen times

00:14:05.610 --> 00:14:08.288
and the word "Yes" five times.

00:14:08.560 --> 00:14:09.584
In one scene,

00:14:09.580 --> 00:14:14.720
during the My Little Pony: Equestria Girls
Rollercoaster of Friendship special

00:14:14.720 --> 00:14:15.888
Rainbow Dash...

00:14:15.880 --> 00:14:16.880
...dabs.

00:14:17.136 --> 00:14:20.400
Around the time of November of 2012,

00:14:20.400 --> 00:14:24.544
these official My Little Pony-branded
Rainbow Dash headphones

00:14:24.540 --> 00:14:28.112
began to be sold exclusively at Hot Topic.

00:14:28.110 --> 00:14:31.520
and this photograph showing
a pair of the headphones

00:14:31.520 --> 00:14:36.208
was uploaded to Flickr on January 31st 2013.

00:14:36.416 --> 00:14:39.680
The Gen. 5 pony by the name of Posey Bloom

00:14:39.680 --> 00:14:46.544
happens to share her surname with the Gen. 1 pony
from My Little Pony Tales Clover Bloom.

00:14:46.848 --> 00:14:52.240
In issue #3 of the My Little Pony:
The Movie Prequel comics by IDW

00:14:52.240 --> 00:14:58.656
a life preserver that can be seen on the second page
has "S. S. MINNOW" written on it,

00:14:58.650 --> 00:15:06.000
which is a reference to the boat of the same name
that appears in the 1960s sitcom "Gilligan's Island".

00:15:06.240 --> 00:15:11.696
In an official MLP magazine released in France sometime in 2012,

00:15:11.690 --> 00:15:18.752
it is shown that Princess Celestia apparently has
a young four year old cousing named Leon

00:15:18.750 --> 00:15:21.584
(who is also an alicorn I guess)

00:15:21.580 --> 00:15:27.760
and, to add on to this, the magazine for some reason
also calls the pony Prince Blueblood...

00:15:27.760 --> 00:15:30.608
...Vladimir instead of his normal name.

00:15:30.832 --> 00:15:32.592
In July of 2013,

00:15:32.590 --> 00:15:39.712
the Pony Confessions Tumblr blog posted
this image containing a confession, which reads:

00:15:39.710 --> 00:15:44.912
"I feel like everyone's characterization
has been off so far in season 3."

00:15:45.328 --> 00:15:49.072
And, finally, on September 10th 2010,

00:15:49.070 --> 00:15:54.096
the official My Little Pony Twitter account
posted this tweet that says:

00:15:54.090 --> 00:15:57.040
"We're one month away from all new adventures!"

00:15:57.040 --> 00:16:01.936
Follow @HubTVNetwork
for all of the news on Friendship is Magic,

00:16:01.936 --> 00:16:03.392
our new show!

00:16:03.390 --> 00:16:05.424
#FF"

00:16:10.000 --> 00:16:10.752
So,

00:16:10.750 --> 00:16:15.824
that has been 15 minutes of
useless information about My Little Pony.

00:16:15.820 --> 00:16:20.032
if you enjoyed watching this video,
then consider dropping it a like,

00:16:20.030 --> 00:16:21.168
leaving a comment,

00:16:21.160 --> 00:16:23.552
and/or sharing it around with your friends.

00:16:23.550 --> 00:16:26.592
Doing those things are the best way
to support my channel

00:16:26.590 --> 00:16:30.352
because it allows my uploads to be seen by more people.

00:16:30.350 --> 00:16:34.560
while you're at it, you can also
check out my socials, like my Twitter,

00:16:34.560 --> 00:16:39.280
and also my Discord server where you
can have a bunch of cool conversations.

00:16:39.280 --> 00:16:44.896
Anyways, I want to give a quick thanks for all of the
support that I've received on my videos this year;

00:16:44.890 --> 00:16:50.016
I'm definitely planning to make more
cool pony videos throughout 2023,

00:16:50.010 --> 00:16:52.160
so stay tuned for those.

00:16:52.320 --> 00:16:57.070
I don't have anything else to say here, so happy holidays

00:16:57.070 --> 00:16:58.224
and I'll see you...

00:16:58.220 --> 00:16:59.488
...whenever I see you.

00:16:59.480 --> 00:17:04.176
