History YMMV / MyLittlePonyG3

** As AndreaLibman puts it; "No jokes, just sweet, sweet, sweet."

* AwesomeMusic: A couple specials have an electric guitar remix of the original My little Pony theme.

* BrokenBase: 4-Chan and some Bronies somehow considered it as the worst generation ever done by Hasbro due to the pink undertones, bland characters and also the introduction of the Core 7 and the Newborn Cuties. On the other hand, it's fans laud it for continuing to be light and soft, and for carrying on the tradition of MyLittlePonyTales' slice of life format.

* SoBadItsGood: Generation 3 is widely considered bad, no doubt about it. But it has a certain kitsch charm, complete with gloriously nonsensical logic ("We couldn't make [[OnlySaneMan you]] a regular-sized charm bracelet, because we kept making our charms too big. So we made you a giant sized one! And then we made you a regular-sized one!"), random dancing to electro-guitar versions of the theme song, and some genuinely amusing moments when it acknowledges how incredibly ditzy and incompetent its lead characters are. For instance, watching Skywishes search for the manual to a hot air balloon so she can find out how to lower the landing gear. Of a ''hot air balloon''.
** Which may, in itself, be a MythologyGag to the MyLittlePonyTales episode ''Up, Up, and Away'' which has Patch steal a balloon and ''immediately'' find the instruction manual in the basket.

** The Runaway Rainbow has the ponies in danger of going down a waterfall.
** The stuffy, restricted lifestyle princesses had--and the implication that before Wysteria, ''all'' princesses lived like that--likely put a damper on young girls who wanted to be princesses. Wysteria wasn't even allowed to ''sniff flowers''.

* HilariousInHindsight:
** After ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' brought [[{{Tomboy}} completely]] [[{{Badass}} redesigned]] Rainbow Dash, the line in the Core 7 opening which says "Rainbow Dash always dresses in style" sounds pretty ironic, and of course it went through MemeticMutation, as seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwyIR598a_s here]].
** Another one involving Rainbow Dash. She didn't believe in "flying ponies" (pegasi) in ''Friends Are Never Far Away'', but come the next generation and she's a Pegasus.
** In G3.5's ''Twinkle Wish Adventure'', a {{Blooper}} [[http://www.ponibooru.org/post/view/55933 gives Cheerilee googly eyes]] for about a second. This was almost an entire year before [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Derpy Hooves]].

* TastesLikeDiabetes: Even fans who defend the rest of the franchise from this accusation won't defend G3.

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: ''[[http://www.hasbro.com/mylittlepony/en_GB/media/browse.cfm?type=videos Pinkie Pie's Ferris Wheel Adventure]]'', which is about Pinkie Pie [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin giving her friends a ride in a ferris wheel]] with gondolas stylized as cupcakes, doesn't look so cute after [[FanFic/{{Cupcakes}} a certain fanfic]] which makes the idea of Pinkie putting her friends in cupcakes way more disturbing.

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Minty was left out of the Core 7 in G3.5, but the fandom rejoiced when she was brought back in the G4 toys and some are hoping she makes an appearance in ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''.

* HilariousInHindsight: After ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' brought [[{{Tomboy}} completely]] [[{{Badass}} redesigned]] Rainbow Dash, the line in the G3/G3.5 opening which says "Rainbow Dash always dresses in style" sounds pretty ironic, and of course it went through MemeticMutation, as seen [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xwyIR598a_s here]].
** Another one involving Rainbow Dash. She didn't believe in "flying ponies" (pegasi) in ''Friends Are Never Far Away'', but come the next generation and she's a Pegasus.

* TastesLikeDiabetes: So...much...pink...

* EnsembleDarkhorse: Minty is actually fairly popular despite being left out the Core 7 in G3.5, AndTheFandomRejoiced when she returned in the G4 toyline. Some fans are hoping she'll make an appearance in ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Friendship is Magic]]''.

* UncannyValley: Good lord, The Newborn Cuties. Are they human? Pony? Mutant? In any case, once you've laid eyes on them, you '''''will''''' have trouble sleeping at night.

* BrokenBase: 4-Chan and some Bronies somehow considered it as the worst generation ever done by Hasbro due to the pink undertones, bland characters and also the introduction of the Core 7 and the Newborn Cuties. On the other hand, it's fan lauds it for continuing to be light and soft, and for carrying on the tradition of MyLittlePonyTales' slice of life format.

* BrokenBase: Despite is an outdated generation, 4-Chan and some Bronies somehow considered it as the worst generation ever done by Hasbro due to the pink undertones, bland characters and also the introduction of the Core 7 and the Newborn Cuties.
