Description

As my watchers may know, I spend a lot of my time offline & online reviewing things. Reviews can be witty, imaginative and entertaining and provide you with the opportunity to comment on things in a constructive – or scathing – manner. Above all, they're a great opportunity to be honest about your feelings. 

I like to come up with ideas I haven't seen before, and that's why I'm running a contest with a bit of a twist.

All you have to do to enter this contest is critique me. That's me, Cuddlepug. Effectively, you need to write a review of Cuddlepug. You're NOT reviewing the image up there of the silly pony eating the ice cream – that's just there for visual effect.

You can critique me as a reviewer, as a person, as a friend – however you like. Be imaginative and feel free to be funny. You can be super nice, or you can totally roast me if you like and point out all the things you dislike about me and how I'm dangerous to the brony fandom. If it's possible somehow to critique me with a picture you're welcome to try that too, although I anticipate this will predominantly be a writing contest. However you approach it is entirely up to you – as long as you aren't being downright insulting for the sake of being insulting I'll accept the entries.

The prize for this contest will be 3 Months Core Membership and reviews need to be a minimum of 100 words.

  • If you are already a Core member, please use the 'Critique' function on this upload to write your review of Cuddlepug.

  • If you are not already a Core member and cannot use the 'Critique' function, please submit your critique as a comment on this upload (specifying that it's your entry) and it will be treated exactly the same as entries submitted via the 'Critique' function

The person who writes the critique that catches my eye the most will win the 3 Month Core Membership. Maybe you'll produce something that really makes me laugh? Or perhaps you'll trash me so bad I have an epiphany and never review again. Who knows!

A familiarity with my work might aid in your review, although people passing through are welcome to enter as well. Come on - give me your best shot!

The deadline for this contest will be Sunday 1 October and the winner will be announced later in the month after much deliberation...mmmmmyes...!

If anything is unclear about this contest feel free to send me a note or comment here. However, there are deliberately no hard and fast rules with this to allow you to write whatever you like.

Note: Many thanks to PudgyCat for letting me use this licky sticky image on all of my uploads. It has very much become my signature.

Good luck, reviewers!

Never seen those "good friends, best friends" memes?
Ex: A good friend will come to your house and greet your parents politely. A best friend busts in your house and grabs a beer from the fridge.

No no, I'm still referring to your comment of the "best friends insult the crap out of eachother" not the critique itself. I was wondering if the "best friends insult ... while good friends compliment ..." was a joke.

Good friends when you ask them if a pants fits: "yeah it suits you, but perhaps a larger size?"
Best friends: "Girl, your ass is way too big for that size. Take another one."

I'm pretty sure it isn't supposed to be the art, that you have to criticize.
As far as I know, it's about him as a person!

Well...I've never critique someone directly, but I'mma give it a shot!

yOu lICc EvErYtHiNg-
     

oKie okie, I'll get to the real critique. XD

Although I've only being following you for a short period of time, I'll say that you're a very influential brony! You've a huge view of point and you don't kinkshame people for their own personal views! I enjoy seeing the polls you post constantly as it makes ponder about stuffs that I might not really spend a lot of time thinking or even something I've never thought of before. You amaze me with your new polls as it isn't easy to come up with a simple and good question that makes everyone reflect about themselves. I can also see that you're really dedicated to MLP, and there's nothing wrong with that! You show a great passion when it comes to your fandom, which is one of the qualities of a great contributor to the fandom! You also have a pretty cute and original pony! It's not too detailed and if I didn't know it was an OC, I might have mistaken it as one of the canon characters in MLP! (I don't watch MLP a lot QAQ)You also write astonishing reviews and it's obvious that you put a lot of effort into those reviews!
Anddddddddd you have a great sense of humor! Your thing with licking is humorous and it definitely brightens someone's day up when they get licked by Scuttlebutt! XDDD And wow, you're giving a free Core membership? It shows that you have a kind heart! For a simple requirement, you'e giving out something a lot of people long for! 

And last thing, I literally just found a MLP song sung by Sia! She only released it 3 days ago, so I thought I should link it to ya! XD

That's all I've to say, so I hope it's a decent critique!

My review:

Cuddlepug, you are one of the most meddling... troll-like people I have ever met. There is not one thing you can't do and not get away with, I swear! Your random critiques I see pop up in my feed are so funny to read and always make me chuckle.
Despite this, under your humourous demeanor, there is a real soft and kind side that I love to communicate with! Receiving little comments from you every now and then is so nice and reminds me that people out there know that I do in fact, still exist! I don't remember how this communication really even started but I appreciate it more than I can express!
To conclude, you're a real nice person who can be so damn hilarious yet so caring. That's what I appreciate in a person!

Br0kenL3gs [2017-09-19 19:55:15 +0000 UTC]

I think you are an ok person your not too mean and are nice in some ways, from what I see when replying to people in comments. You have a great sense of humor and I love when you review and give the mlp episodes a grade, I barely see people do what you do and I hope people love your work the way I do! Another thing I must say is that you barely do any art but when you do it's really beautiful (suck as the picture of your oc licking ice cream). I don't really know you as a person but if I ever got to know you I would be happy! 
Sorry im bad a critiques ;~;

Reviewing: I love your sense of humor, reminds me a little bit of DWK, but perhaps a little less cynical and depressing XD I like that you don't ever insult anybody despite the brazenness of some of your articles and manage to be a reasonable person even to those who don't see your side (or frankly, just don't get the jokes). You handle things very maturely and I'm proud of you! (why do i sound like a mom)

Polls: fantastic polls mister. controversial and interesting, and some hilarious. nice dude.

Person: 15 licks out of 10! you're super supportive of anyone who starts a conversation with you and always pitching in a joke to make us feel better. You always seem to care about whatever you're talking about with someone. Personally, you've been there for me through a lot of stuff, even if we don't talk too much. Who knew Cuddlepug was an angel guardian?

im not really out to win, just wanted to give you a bit of praise and to thank you ;u;

Well,I'm not that good at giving critiques,but here goes nothing...
So when I first saw you on dAhub I thought you were just a run-of-the-mill type of brony who liked writing reviews on episodes and anything else MLP related.Like I read some of your reviews and stories and thought they were pretty neat so I decided to give you a watch,and upon watching you I noticed you were actually kinda different from other bronies.Quite..."magical" actually XD. Like SURE you've made some "inappropriate" jokes and polls,but I KNOW you were only JOKING so I played along XD.Besides that,you are honestly THE,nicest brony I've ever meant on this site,cuz other bronies I ran into on on here were so harsh and mean.Like I once told someone I supported Twilight having wings and he told me to die! All and all I had no regrets watching you and I feel so glad and honored to be friends with The Lord of Magical Licks.So,I guess this marks the end of my critique.Sorry if it sounds kinda bad,cuz like I said I'm not that GOOD at giving critiques
So,bye for now...Oh! And have a lick!

LMAO

Something to catch your eye, hmmm...

There is a My Little Pony reviewer on this site
His works are interesting to read
Indecisiveness is found in his reviews, though
Serious or silly, he can't make up his mind

In times when he gets more serious
Strict but fair is how I would describe him

Melted faces of the main characters are sometimes shown
A habit of his that still confuses me
Gritty and adult humor is his weapon of choice
It is done well, so no complaints from me there
Cuddlepug, you entertain us all
And even though I'm not the most frequent of readers
Let this poem motivate you to keep up the good work.

PioneeringAuthor In reply to ??? [2017-09-01 21:49:17 +0000 UTC]

(This will be my entry)


Cuddlepug is a well-known, respected, and admired Brony here on Deviant Art. Whenever he posts a news article or review, there's always a vast stir in the waters. Whatever he does, he puts his whole self into it and the effects are quite noticeable. Of course, his reviews are often opinionated and his news articles are often debatable as to whether or not they are truly "news" at all, but his opinion is obviously the best one.

For every review, he posts a rating, based on previous episodes, to display whether or not an episode is worth viewing. Sure, everyone reacts differently to the episodes,and some may feel the ones he dismissed were actually the best, but clearly THEIR opinion is wrong, and only Cuddlepug is correct. He always has the highest taste regarding what is of quality, and his faithful followers never disagree with him.

In all honesty though, when he gets serious, he gets serious. If he truly loves something, it shines through with the brightest light of integrity, and we all can tell the difference. If he feels strongly about something, he will deeply explain it and go over all the important, clinching points, showing that he truly is a reviewer, and not just a sarcastic master of satire and crude humor. When the big reviews are called for, he brings them BIG TIME.

Besides that, Cuddlepug is known for his relationship with his darling RannarBannanar, and it seems they have been together for quite a while. To his friends he is not just another reviewer, but a person who is always willing to listen whenever someone needs help or just wants to chat. From his odd polls he may seem... eccentric, but he genuinely is a pleasant person to chat with. He's willing to listen to various opinions, even if he doesn't agree with them, and is never insulting to any one person, as far as I can tell.

Overall, Cuddlepug is highly opinionated, sarcastic, and a bit crude at times, but he is a respectable fellow nonetheless.
His "News" articles are still in question, but clearly if Cuddlepug wrote it, it must be true, because everything on the internet is true these days.
At least, that's what some people say.

As a person, he is quite sincere and caring, even if his reviews are sometimes a bit scathing, he would never be cruel to a fellow human being--I mean, pony, because clearly only ponies are interested in reviewing ponies. Furthermore, his vision is to get others talking about what must be said, even if it involves a bit of... hyperbole, and these days, it's about time someone told us to start discussing and stop hiding from each other and ignoring other opinions. Also, if anyone is interested, Cuddlepug is CLEARLY, ALWAYS, UNDOUBTEDLY, correct, because he would never, ever be wrong... ever... of course. Even his polls display that his is the ONLY opinion on the matter, of course!

...At least, that's what he wants you to think... so you can start discussing, and come up with an opinion of your own.


Sincerely, PioneeringAuthor.

I mean, Turquoise Dreamer.
