Description You're a show renowned for having remarkably high-quality writing and characterization, and then you take one of the most stereotyped and trite representations of athleticism and hit copy+paste to get three of the flattest characters I've ever seen.

Really now? That doesn't fly. Especially not with someone who actually PLAYS a sport.

Whatev, I like these three. Also, I'm prooooooooooooobably not going to stop drawing this stuff any time soon.
OH WELL.

Even if they were only on screen for a bit. The lazy stereotype is still lazy. I'm almost hoping the writers put them in another episode on the vain hope they act a little differently. Not that I'm complaining. Technically they've gotten more speaking lines than most any other background pony in the whole show.

Well...dumbbell at least.

Yeah, because characters who are featured on screen for about 30 seconds for a single episode totally need strong characterization.

Hahaha relax dude. I drew this forever ago back when I was a lot harder on the show than I am now. I still LIKE this bunch but I don't even hold this sentiment anymore. I appreciate you for visiting though!

Jock A: Hey look its like Rainbow Crash!
Rainbow Dash: Yeah but I am a Boss and have a ton of fans.
Fans: We love you Rainbow!

Rainbow Dash: Even Fluttershy got a pegacadillac and does not need to fly.
A Pegacadillac is a Cadillac car with wings.

*A large yellow and pink pegacadillac flies by and stops*
*The side window slides down and Fluttershy in wrap around shades looks out and gives the jocks the bird*
*The side window slides up and the pegacadillac flies off.*
Rainbow Dash: Later losers! *she flies off*

*The jocks look down on the clouds a bit then decide to hit the local bars.*
Jock B: Lets just drink a lot of beer and see who can hurl the furthest!
Jock C: Whoo hoo!
Jock A: Ahhhhh Yeah!

Looks great.

I would love to make this into a comic.
Could see this in my head, maybe they need to raise my dosage.

The Pegacadillac would be a pain to draw but it would be cool looking.
The car would be yellow with green/pink highlights.

Maybe Fluttershy would drive up in a PegaBenz/PegaLexus/Pegafiniti?
When she is slumming maybe she drives a PegaFord/PegaJetta/PegaMustang.

Since when was MLP a show with good writing and characterization? Bronies only watch it for the gratuitous ass shots of ponies.

Not so much shocking as disappointing really.

LingLiJing In reply to 0particle [2011-11-23 23:47:51 +0000 UTC]

shocking with an undertone of disappointment it is, then. This stereotype has never been well liked, even when I was a kid.

I sometimes get the feeling that the only reason writers still use this trope is so they can have a little "wish-fulfillment" when the character(s) get the comeuppance.

LingLiJing In reply to 0particle [2011-11-29 01:33:56 +0000 UTC]

Personally I don't get how putting down dumb jocks is a good form of wish fulfillment. ._.

"Grr! People were mean to me in high school! I'll show them by making them characters in my show and having them get owned!"
That kind of mentality.

They're workers in a weather factory (on account of not being dropouts) and I don't think B ever showed any evidence of a lack of math skills.

but apart from that lol

0particle In reply to HedgehodgeMonster [2011-11-23 23:03:26 +0000 UTC]

All three of them, but in particular B, are portrayed as just generally stupid. Funny, because they're the ones who actually graduated.

HedgehodgeMonster In reply to 0particle [2011-11-24 02:09:04 +0000 UTC]

Stupid? I just saw them referring to RD by a particularly hated nickname and being antagonistic to her, rather than showing any sort of incompetence.

They weren't shown as stupid. Just as douchebags

You're still right about them not getting any characterization though, beyond that they hold a childhood rivalry well into adulthood :S

They just were never shown as stupid or poor at math

(Like, it literally looks like they have nothing better to be doing with their time besides harass her. What?)

I watched it again. Turns out you were right. No implied stupidity.
To me they just kind of...seemed...dumb. Or something. Eh, maybe it was their voices that gave me that idea.

Was this because or not because one of the said voices is in fact Kevin
