It's safe to say that the My Little Pony Fandom has always been known on the internet for many things. However, one of the most interesting or eccentric of those things to ever come out of the MLP fandom is a certain pony meme called Sweetie Bot, which has inspired many pieces of MLP fan content. So today, let's have a quick look back at one of the My Little Pony Fandom's most interesting memes, Sweetie Bot!

Fun fact - Sweetie Bot actually appeared in the official MLP comics! The CMC are teleported through different worlds by Discord (even ending up in a pony Lord of the Rings), and at one point are in a DC parody. They hang captured over a vat of acid, with Apple Bloom looking like a Batman/Robin parody and Scootaloo like Hawkman. Sweetie Belle is just straight up a robot version of herself.

@@scottjefferson4048 It's because the comics frequently contradict the show, but at the same time the show often references the comics. Fans have been arguing for years about how canon IDW is, if at all. My personal take is that you can treat the comics as canon to an extent, but that any time the comics and the show contradict each other the show takes precedence.

Hey! I'm humbled that you gave me a shout-out in your vid! I'm so glad people still like my old Sweetie Bot animations. It's a heart-warming feeling to know that people still appreciate what I've made even to this day. I've been... sorta just dead for a long while, but there is a flame rekindling in my heart for animation. Since 2014, I had been sitting on a partially complete re-animation of Sweetie's Big Race, but I never finished it due to Flash constantly crashing. I think if I redid things in ToonBoom I'd have far less frustrations... who knows? I might be able to share some more Sweetie Bot content one of these days. Again, I feel honored to be remembered.

I haven't watched the video yet but I think the reason why Sweetie Bot became a very popular meme is because people like robots, people like silly robots and people like the story potential with her(using PrinceWhateverer's music series as an example because Destabilize was my first exposure to Sweetie Bot.)

one little bit about Sweetie Bot was that she kind of originated from the show itself. in some of sweetie belle's early apperences her voice would crack cutely on occasion due to her VA, Claire Corlett, going through puberty, which they often left in. this lead to jokes about her being a robot. Sherclop pones took it to the next level tho. I actually got the chance to see the real Sweetie Bot Robot in person at the final bronycon, and she was quite adorable.
