I can see people simply not liking Pipsqueak, but to simply DISlike him is just being a hater really.
At least Snips and Snails had their god-awful voices and borderline-retarded dialogue to hate them for. And if you hate Pip's voice, I don't know what to tell you. |

The people who "hate" Pipsqueak are just pretending, because everybody hated Pip on "South Park". |

No word can describe how adorable and awesome Pipsqueak is. |
| BlastingGravy #589752 9 months ago |
I really hope we see Pipsqueak again. He apparently lives in Ponyville now, so hopefully he's not a one-shot character. |

Pipsqueak has potential, but he wasn't that amazing this episode. People who don't like him probably don't like him because he was basically just an expositionary tool who didn't wow us, a role that could've possibly been filled by some other character we already like. |
| P-51Mustang #589777 9 months ago |
The reason I didn't like Pipsqueak is the fact that he added nothing to the episode, and to create ANOTHER annoyingly "adorable" character when you already have three (Scootaloo, Sweetie Belle & Applebloom) is also pointless.
Here's hoping that Pipsqueak really is a one shot character. |
| HeinousActsZX #589791 9 months ago |
@589773 If he was amazing in this episode, people would hate him even more.
He would have stolen Luna's spotlight and nothing could have saved him from the rage. |

Pointless character, using roles that could easily have been filled, just like P-51 said. |
| YoyoTripleThree #589807 9 months ago |
I agree with P-51 Mustang on this one. Though I don't DISLIKE the character, I don't care for him either. It seems he took the place which could've been used by an already established character. Plus, I feel like we already have enough overly adorable kid characters.
The British thing is a nice touch though. |

Yeah, I don't really care for Pip, and I'm not sure why. I guess I just really dislike the 'cheeky Dickens street urchin' archetype, for some reason.
Also, I have a feeling that he's there because Hasbro said so. |
| Muffinoffun #589834 9 months ago |
The only thing I fear is him becoming overused and becoming a sort of Cousin Oliver Twist (See what I did there? I'm so clever). |
| P-51Mustang #589838 9 months ago |
@Muffinoffun: If anything, he's in danger of becoming a "Scrappy" or a "Wesley" than Cousin Oliver Twist. |
| Anonymous #589899 9 months ago |
While I think Pipsqueak can be an interesting character, there really wasn't anything to draw me into him.
I'm not trying to bash on the character but, to me, when Pinkie shows up after Pipsqueak's first appearance almost looks like a middle finger to the character as if someone was trying to say, "Okay, enough of this character. Let's have a character come in that we know is interesting and that people like.". I don't know what the plans are for this character, but if he was only meant to be in this one episode then I would imagine there's a chance he'll appear in another episode if he's popular enough considering Luna was finally brought back and Trixie is hinted to return. |
| Anonymous #589921 9 months ago |
I think pipsqueak is alright, although, everyone who says there are plenty of other characters to fit the role are also plenty right.
Really, people who dislike pip are just annoyed that writers are just spreading themselves out to thin. Thusly subtracting screen time from other more favored characters. But I mean come one, that scene where Zecora scares him and he runs headfirst into the Nightmare Moon statue? Bucking priceless! |
| Anonymous #589933 9 months ago |
I was hoping he had fractured his skull when he ran into the statue. |
| TooOldForThisShow #589986 9 months ago |
He's pretty cute, I guess, but I didn't understand why he was there. Also, his eyes looked a little weird to me for some reason. |
| Anonymous #589998 9 months ago |
And the kids who watch the show don't give a damn if the added something or not in this episode.
If anything,I think they would agree with this image... Pirates = Cool,etc Pipsqueak and Luna were awesome,people definitely like to whine for stupid reasons. |
| Anonymous #590061 9 months ago |
The main fact here is: When there are a lot of background ponies that the fandom wishes eagerly that the writers give some characterization (Octavya, Vinyl Scratch, Lyra, Bon bon,etc) they present us with...Pipsqueak, that resembles more a cow than a pony. Kills time for other secondary ponies and i'm starting to doubt if Lauren planed this character.
@Anon998: Indeed kids don't give a damn. They look whatever thing you put in TV. But remember that 2nd season happened because the popularity on the mature audience, not kids. |
| HeinousActsZX #590107 9 months ago |
@590061 Not true. FIM was/is also popular with it's target audience. You can't say for sure what would've happened without this fanbase. |
| Fuzzy_Logic #590114 9 months ago |
I dont like him
there is literally no reason for him to be there and he had pretty much zero personality other than "generic toddler" |

| RealityCheck #590293 9 months ago |
I'm abiding by Chekov's gun theory here.... they have something VERY specific in mind for Pipsqueak later on in the season.
They COULD have given any of the other colts or fillies the same spot, used it to round out their personalities more.... but they may have decided that the CMC, Snips and Snails, and Silver Spoon and Diamond Tiara weren't enough of a variety. |
| Anonymous #590301 9 months ago |
So, hey guys, here's a fact that was said not only from Lauren but by Jayson as well:
SEASON TWO WAS GREEN-LIT WHEN SEASON ONE WAS HALF-WAY DONE. THAT WAS MORE THAN A FUCKING YEAR AGO. WE, AS IN THE BRONIES, HAVE NOT A SINGLE FUCKING EFFECT ON WHAT HAS HAPPENED DURING THE CREATION OF SEASON ONE AND TWO. STOP GIVING YOURSELF CREDIT WHERE YOU DON'T FUCKING DESERVE IT. The only thing -WE- truly managed to do was surprise the whole world, made the show go viral, and possibly have given the show a chance for a third season. That's it. I'm serious. I'm getting irritated about how ill-informed a lot of you happen to be about the process of how a television series, animated or live-action, is made. |
| Anonymous #590344 9 months ago |
I thought he was a little annoying. Nothing particularly interesting about him as a character and other than his british accent and acting like your average seven-year-old he doesn't really have any kind of personality.
Luna on the other hand was a complete mindscrew, she took me and seemingly almost everyone else by surprise. I couldn't believe what a glorious dork she was, and it was funny as hell. |
| togashimenai #590573 9 months ago |
This is PURE opinion, but to me it seems like the overall "polish" of the show is lessened without Faust at the helm. All of the characters are a little "off" in some way or another. Zecora, for example, had a couple badly forced rhymes and poor meter.
As many have already pointed out, Pipsqueak was shallow and generic. There wasn't enough spotlight for him to do much, and he didn't do much of anything with what he got. |

oh for the love of fluff stop being such a cynical trainwreck. have you read anything directly from lauren or any of the interveiws from equestria daily? the bronies are not simply "the old news an unusual audience of a kids show". we're a huge inspiration to the show's creators. and they've even gone as far as parodizing certain memes we have made. in episode 3 it parodizes both our shipping (big macxragdoll in their case), and possibly even the orbital freindship cannon with dashie's fan named "atomic-rainboom" used to destrow applejack's old shed. and in season one there is actually an orange background pegasus with the 4chan logo for a cutie mark. pony up boy, i seriously dont get why people hate these cute charachters because they are "unneeded and annoying. seriously? annoying? its a show about ponies, and frankly i'm unsure how they are annowing. for one cute charachters are exactly what they are, cute characters, sure pipsqueak in concept is a bit sudden and unneeded but since they clearly didn't go overboard with it, what is so terrible about him? |

| Anonymous #590812 9 months ago |
I have a question. Why are we calling him "Pipsqueak?" I mean there's no way in hell that could be his actual name. And just because one pony called him that doesn't mean that that's his actual name, they could have just been calling him by a pet/nick name. Seriously, I'm sure we can come up with something better. |
| MetalHooves #590865 9 months ago |
^ Cuz he stated that it's his name. As did Pinkie.
Did you watch the episode? |
| Anonymous #590895 9 months ago |
@MetalHooves Yes I did, TWICE, and I've never heard him state that. Beside, who the fuck names their kid Pipsqueak? Considering the fact that everypony's name is pretty much a pun based on their appearance and/or personality, like Pinkie Pie being Pink, Rainbow Dash having a rainbow mane and tail, Fluttershy being shy, etc. Wouldn't naming him that doom him to be short forever? |
| Fanloser #591098 9 months ago |
@RealityCheck Dear god, I hope you're joking. And I'm being serious, I honestly can't tell through text. |
| Sind #591226 9 months ago |
Actually I was thinking Chekovs gun too. The only reason they added him was so he could pay a larger role in a later episode, I believe |
| Fanloser #591260 9 months ago |
@Sind Kinda doubtful. It seems more like part Jayson's plan of adding more male characters of the day to try to even out the male-female ratio in the show. More likely if we ever seen Pip again, he's just gonna be a background character. IF we ever do see him again. |
| InterrobangPie #591299 9 months ago |
Pipsqueak was only really British in his first scene. Sounded like they were going for faux-Cockney at the beginning, but then the accent slipped into something undefinable.
Oh well. I'll take all the British I can get, even if it is just to fuel my apparent patriotism. |
| Kanashi1kage #591316 9 months ago |
Anon who's arguing Pipsqueak isn't his name.
Pipsqueak's first line in the episode was, "Pipsqueak the pirate, at your service. It's my very first Nightmare Night." If you really watched the episode TWICE and missed his first lines ever, IDK what to say. And I really don't get why people feel the need to turn their ambivalence into hatred of a character around here. Pipsqueak was fine. Nothing special, but he was fine. |

The real reason he is there is to shift the Male/Female ratio towards male and to show, that not all colts are ugly as fuck.
Though funny, that the only guys who approve him seems to be Luna/Pipsqueak shippers. |
