I know, it’s prolly all fun and games (seeing as how he spoke out for BLM) but still.

Calls people “chubby little pervs.”  
Is shocked that those people are upset by this. Seriously?

@Background Pony
 
I agree on both accounts man.

This isn’t funny. Not in the “BLUH BLUH MAH FERLINS R HERT” way.  
It’s not funny in that literally every single person who has ever made fun of bronies has said the exact same thing and it’s gotten older than knock knock jokes.  
Also Joel was better.

This is exactly why no one likes bronies. Humorless, hypocritical, autistic—Lord, the descriptions go on and on.
 
It was a joke. He makes fun of things for a living.
 
For a living. God this fandom sucks.

I know it’s mike freaking Nelson but the wording of the first tweet seems kinda mean spirited rather than just poking fun.  
The later tweets seem less so though.

“BronyCon 2012 drew a crowd of 4000 chubby little pervs”  
ROFLMAO!!!!!  
You funny Nelson! You REAL funny!  
XDDDD

The humorless fucks who got offended by this need to lighten the fuck up and learn to take a joke.

I was background pony #1, and after reading the Tweets, I feel stupid for being so upset.

@Feral
 
You’re most likely true, but that won’t stop some of the more… high-strung fans from lashing out. And unfortunately those fans are the loudest.

I wouldn’t take this seriously. It’s kind of his job to make fun of stuff, and I doubt very much that there’s any actual malice in his intentions.

whatevs people are completely free to their opinions its what makes the world go round

I don’t think he actually means it, Hoers. He’s made much harsher jokes in the past. It’s just harmless joking.

That sucks. I kind of liked his work too. Ah well; just one of those asshole things you have to live with.

Whoopsies, there were supposed to be a few breaks in ther, not just one big ol’ wall of text.

I love this guy so much. Love MST3K, Riff Trax, and Cinematic Titanic. I kinda wish they would riff on a episode, it would be the smartest and funniest thing ever.

In the not too distant future  
Way down in Deep Thirteen  
Dr. Forrester and TV’s Frank  
Were hatching an evil scheme
 
They hired a temp by the name of Mike  
Just a Regular Joe they didn’t like  
Their experiment needed a good test case  
So they conked him on the noggin and they shot him into space  
Get me DOOOWWWN!
 
We’ll send him cheesy movies  
The worst we can find  
LA LA LA  
He’ll have to sit and watch them all  
And we’ll monitor his mind
 
Now keep in mind Mike can’t control  
Where the movies begin or end  
LA LA LA  
He’ll try to keep his sanity  
With the help of his robot friends
 
ROBOT ROLL CALL  
Cambot! Show yourself!  
Gypsy! I’m not ready!  
Tom Servo! Hello there!  
Croooow! That’s one ‘o’!
 
If you’re wondering how he eats and breathes  
And other science facts  
LA LA LA  
Just repeat to yourself it’s just a show  
I should really just relax for  
Mystery Science Theater 3000!

I’m honestly surprised he hasn’t made fun of bronies before this, I guess bronycon finally put em on his radar.

People take fandom too seriously

Meh. My jimmies remain unrussled.

Yeah he makes fun of a lot of different people, this is just good-natured raillery, people shouldn’t get offended especially when it’s partially true.

That was really uncalled for. I thought you were cool, mike.

Mike Nelson was a main character of MST3k (character had the same name) for half its runtime.  
He also is part of Rifftrax. He basically makes fun of bad (and sometimes good) movies with varying levels of love or hate.  
I wouldn’t attack him for this, he doesn’t seem like the malicious sort.

OOOHHHH. yeah i havent seen that in over a decade.

@Daisy
 
He used to do this show called Mystery Science Theater 3000 where he and these robots would riff on really bad movies. He’s runs that Rifftrax site now I think.
