1. Bronies 793 up, 224 down
The term used to describe the fan community(usually of the older group, males and females) of the show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic.
The term was coined on 4chan's /co/ board.
It is the plural form of 'Brony'
Brony A: "Dude, just finished watching the first season from MLP:FiM!"
Brony B: "Cool! So who do you think is the best pony?"
Brony A mentions the pony they think is best.
Brony B Agrees and exclaims: "Brohoof!"
The bronies brohoof, similar to a high five.

As you all know, Game of Thrones is an epic fantasy that is sometimes dark and sometimes violent, but its always entertaining. Its highly regarded as one of the best fantasy universes ever created and fans the world over are captivated by the political intrigue and characters that make up R. R. Martins universe.
Then you have My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, the 2010 reboot of the Hasbro brand that has created a similarly large fanbase of grown men called bronies. They love the series for its slick animation, ageless appeal and sometimes off the wall humor.
YouTube user adecoy95 has decided to mash up the two properties in a fitting tribute to both. He ponifies the Game of Thrones opening into a video that is 20 percent cooler than all the rest. Your mileage may vary as the sight of replacing characters from Game of Thrones may send you into fits, but I think the majority of nerds can appreciate it. For those that find mash up offensive to their nerd cred, check out todays Foxtrot comic. Its written just for those who would kill if Game of Thrones ever came under the rule of ponies.

Each day, out-of-work computer programmer Luke Allen self-medicates by watching animated ponies have magical adventures.
The 32-year-old, who lives in Albuquerque, New Mexico, loves his daily fix of My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic, and hes not alone. Hes part of a growing group of bronies (bro ponies) men who are fans of a TV show largely intended for a much younger audience.
First we cant believe this show is so good, then we cant believe weve become fans for life, then we cant believe were walking down the pink aisle at Toys R Us or asking for the girls toy in our Happy Meal, Allen said in an e-mail to Wired.com. Then we cant believe our friends havent seen it yet, then we cant believe theyre becoming bronies too.
Every nerd has a favorite TV show they watch religiously and know inside and out. But My Little Pony seems like an unlikely object of fanboy love. Since the show debuted last fall on cable channel Hub TV, its attracted a growing number of male fanatics. Their love of the show is internet neo-sincerity at its best: In addition to watching the show, these teenage, twenty- and thirtysomething guys are creating pony art, posting fan videos on YouTube and feeding threads on 4chan (and their own chan, Ponychan).
They also risk life, limb and being trolled to death on the /co/ board to fawn over a small gaggle of ponies with names like Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.
