So, this post basically sums up why they are technical shitpost. I mean, look at this:

Everyone, literally everyone who has mentioned them or at least, see any material related to them, any fan will reply with the 3 insanely famous words that would make them memorable.

Ladies and gentlecolts, the utter definition of a visual shitpost that would last less than a minute yet it has been stuck in the minds of the fans for so long. 

Taken from the special "Firefly´s Adventure" (or Rescue At Midnight Castle) released in 1986, MLP would mark the greatest definition of a toy commercial nature that happened during the 80s.  But even on top of that toy comercial nature, not only this species would appear out of nowhere with the spotlight of a minute. The purpose of this little moment right here was the ultimate marketing movement in order to sell a toyline directly at your face.

The reasons why this species is at its core the embodiment of a toy commercial shitpost is that, as Hasbro couldn´t convey the aquatic environment in order to sell more toylines, they called the sea ponies. Like that, they comes from a pun that would barely justify their existence whose purpose was simply to fulfill the bath toys. As if Hasbro didn´t have enough ideas to sell all the cheap merch, they would create them,insert them for a very short amount of time and hit the button of automatized sales, conquering your bathroom.

They look exactly the same between each other, they don´t have limbs and even Megan and AJ felt dumbfounded as soon as they noticed this alien appearance out of nowhere. 

So technically, their entire existence was just all that simple. Just create a catchy song that would last a minute and call it a day, we have to sell the merchandising as much as we can.


Don´t believe that these were introduced by trying to make much effort. Unlike for example the villains (Tirek, Grogar or the Smooze), seaponies were basically the fictional embodiment of Hasbro´s orders for selling toys. 

However, fans, while revisiting the previous generations, they have found this little gimmick somewhat and memorable. So much that the joke became a meme that would constantly appear in any comment section (Deviantart, Derpibooru, Youtubem social media...). As soon as you saw any underwater stuff that would reference them, you would get flooded with the first line of this song.
