I loved it, but the shout outs to the internet fandom were cringe inducing. Just no. It feels out of place, is out of place, just no. Having stuff in there for adults (like the Dude cameo in the background of one ep) is fine, but letting fandom influence the show will lead to nothing good.

Stuff like the Big Lebowski cameos and the I Love Lucy shout-out I think were less for the fandom and more for the parents watching with their kids- those kind of adult shout-outs I'm okay with, because a lot of kids' shows and movies do that, and they're either in the background and attention isn't drawn to them (like the Dude), or they're integrated seamlessly in a way that isn't an in-joke and everybody can get it whether they understand the reference or not (I Love Lucy but with cherries). But all the fandom shout-outs were in-joke-y and felt like they had a giant red arrow over them going "HELLO BRONIES THIS IS FOR YOU DO YOU SEE IT LOOK HEY LOOK RIGHT HERE LOOK AT THIS."

Aside from the Derpy fiasco, what else in S2 was deliberate Brony pandering?

The only fandom shout out liked was the "Fluttershy is a tree" one. That one fit Fluttershy when she got the lime light on her and it was a nice gag. But wasn't overly used. Only that once.
