Epic Sax Guy? I'd either run Never Gonna Give You Up or the My Little Pony G4 Intro. Alternatively there is always the Tetris Brainworm or Bob Ross sessions.

- tzs 8y agoAll I know about "My Little Pony" is that it is a cartoon based on a line of toys, is written for little girls, has been around for a long time, for some reason attracts a lot of adult male fans (called "bronies"), and HN user nickthemagician suggested that a blogger using an MLP avatar lost credibility and HN user tern delivered the perfect response that I'm still chuckling over 5 years later [1]. A bit of Googling turned up a video on the evolution of the MLP theme from 1984-2014 [2], and contained therein was the G4 theme. But also in there or in the subsequent Googling it inspired I learned 3 other interesting things: 1. Some of the earlier themes would probably be more cutely annoying than G4 for this application, 2. Sandy Duncan and Tony Randall were voice actors in the earliest MLP stories in 1984. They were both pretty well established, critically and popularly acclaimed, actors. I would not have expected such big names in this kind of cartoon in 1984. 3. That's nothing...the 1986 movie had Randall, Danny DeVito, Rhea Perlman, Madeline Kahn, and Cloris Leachman. Either I'm totally misremembering the state of animation in 1986, or MLP was a way bigger deal then I remember.
