... All I can hear is 'hahaha, your foolish pony magic and friendship cannot conquer Nazi science! Your kingdom is mine!'

Actually, this is one is so close to humor instead of bad taste. Suppose that was Don Quixote on that pony?

This is illegal in Germany.

And it's pretty icky everywhere else. But it was a request. Next up, Genghis Kahn!

It I can find a pic that is.

I like the idea of this!

Overcompensating Ghengis statue
Stalin cubist thing
Vndaunted Cromwell engrauing
Mussolini doctored photo

Not sure who gets what pony though...

One of these things is not like the others. One of these things is different - and should not be confused with the others.

One of these statues is very large, the other is just very near...

I would so love for Uncle Joe to get the ponies and friendship treatment, even in retrospect, but it's difficult to find IRL pics of him on horseback. Pretending to be a man of the people perhaps?

More like physically unable to do it. Uncle Joe had a badly fucked-up arm. I forget why.

All three were terrible. But show me the other three combined come close to matching's Satlin's 20,000,000, or built anything like Kolyma - and I'll admit that they're just very far away.

If I recall the story aright, it was planned to have Stalin riding a white cavalry horse in the Victory Day parade at the end of WW2. Stalin was not a horseman, and admitted it. "Let Zhukov ride him," he is reported to have said.

Marshal Zhukov had been a cavalryman in the Great War, winning the Order of Saint George for his heroism in the old Imperial Russian Army.

You might have to go pretty far back to find a pic of Genghis on a horse, but we know he rode them.

'Course he did. He was a Mongol.

i knew this day would come... i just didn't expect there to be ponies.

wait, i just realized this. why is Hitler wearing roller skates?

Because he's sitting on a pony and his legs are long enough for his feet to touch the ground. I got the idea from a former jockey, who spent the latter portion of his life drawing horse/racing cartoons. He had this one cartoon of a polo-player borrowing his daughter's shetland because his own horse was ill and could not be used. The shetland was so tiny, the player had to wear rollerskates to keep his feet from dragging.

I just thought it was funny.

And Hitler has a few screws loose.

More than a few, I think.

I thought of something. Hitler tried to be an artist. If he succeeded, WWII wouldn't have happened. An analogy to this would be of a bad artist taking a harsh critique to the point where they become a dictator and take it out on those who were like the person who insulted him. It could be said that he fathered emo rage in that sense.

Hitler was a disappointed artist, true, but his psychosis was already visible in his art long before he became dictator. He specialized in city-scapes in which people appear only as insignificant dots. His fascination was with the buildings. This continued with Speer, who developed vast models of cities in which the buildings were hyper-grandiose. Hitler adored playing with these models.

The real irony is they the few people who supported Hitler as an artist --who bought his pictures and encouraged him-- were Jewish...

Someone has a strange sense of humor.

Guilty... Beat me later.

Will we get a choice of blunt force implements to execute that verdict? Choice like a fish, a ham, a 10 ton mallet, a bendy baseball bat and so on.

The Fish-Slapping Dance!

Why would I want to do that. I'm a lover not a fighter.

I suggested that.

Someone is gonna be the recipient of whining in epic proportions. Even Nazi science can't cope with THAT!

Oh, no, not astride Rarity!

Well, I'm going to hell for laughing at this.

A remember the hors being rater rotund.

As was the damsel!

Actually, that weren't no Damsel. That t'were Der Furor. And he looks like Robby the Robt in the painting.

She represented Germany if I remember correctly.

I'm sure she did, but I'm equally sure you're thinking of another painting. There was a lot of such romantic claptrap flying around at the time.

No, the picture Vicky's referring to showed Hitler in gleaming armor, mounted on horseback carrying (I believe) a Nazi flag. While I'm certain there are other paintings using the same concept, I know the one Vicky's using.

Oh my bad! I for some reason thought it was about this old war time Disney cartoon - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ASW3UCc17AI

Actually, a rendition of the pic I used appears in the cartoon, at the end of the fairytale when the kids are giving Hitler the one finger ...uh, one arm salute.

Well apparently that painting was chosen by the Gestapo from a number of paintings. They had quit a hard time convincing the Fürer of that because his preference went out to one with him in skintight lederhosen.

The saddest thing is that I remember seeing (possibly in The World At War series) the original image of Hitler in armor.

Dear God! I just noticed the damn roller skates! This moves it into the 'completely evil' category!

Which truly makes it Epic.

I'd say take out the big ass ACME electro magnet!

I have to say, I had to look at it 3x, before I caught the joke. It's amazing really how hated Hitler is. As soon as I saw him, I thought this was bad, Vicki. However I read your post, and looking at the MLP, I can get it, and laugh now.

I must admit, I do love humor that takes awile to hit ;).

Pity that ass has to be on top of a hot mare, instead of a hot stud stallion ;)

There is nothing so evil that it cannot be laughed at. Humor is the greatest liberator of all.

You do know that Mel Brooks has stated that he's had the best revenge on Hitler... by making him a joke.

And he's right. Adolph would have hated that. If there is a hell, then AH is giving his speeches on Johnny Carson's tonight show and the audience is laughing their collective ass off at him.

Well, Johnny wouldn't be down there. It'd be Wally George. =};-3

Uh, who is Wally George?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wally_George

Think of him as the prototype for just about every asshole ever on Fox News.

Okay. I see know. Never knew the guy and it looks like I didn't much of anything.

Adolph on Jerry Springer (or Wally George) show.... I think I might just contribute to pay-per-view to see that...

We need a bin ladin joke now :)

- Shado

Can't do any worse than what the South Park kids did to him. Especially Cartman.

I'd forgotten! But not to mention what Stewie did :)

True! But that was an homage to the 'Police Squad' series, with the immortal Leslie Nielsen as Lt. Frank Drebin.

Goddess bless Leslie. His protrayal in the first one always makes me fall over laughing. The others was just icing on the cake :)

- Shado

Maybe she can whine him into surrendering?

When I saw this I laughed so hard I nearly fell off the bed. Forget the beating what do we need to feed, or add to your water to get more of this Love it M'Lady.

The way you drew his face is reminiscent of Donna Barrs style.

The fact this is from that old WB cartoon is just awesome (and the fact he dosent look quite so cartoony is even more awesome).
And he is riding Rarity...EVEN MORE AWESOME!!!

Actually, this is from a painting. In the original, all you really see is the rider and the flag. The horse is barely suggested. It was part of the German social Realism that was prevalent at the time. And so notorious, lots of people took a poke at it.

So obviously the WB cartoon is using the exsact same paiting.Interesting.

It was an infamous painting.

There was another painting of a mounted man painted long before Hilter was born that bears such a striking resemblance to the man, it has been speculated that he got his signature "look" from it.

Indeed,I remmber reading about that a while back.

Here's the original painting:

The scar under the subject's eyes was put there by a GI's knife, if I recall.

Grr, bad link! Bad!

Here's a better one: http://www.ushmm.org/propaganda/arc.....andard-bearer/

Yes I have seen the orignal,thank you

Rarity! How could you! I hope the reason is because either you thought he had a nice uniform.

Are these produced on grey paper, or is that just a photo in dim lighting? In any case, I'm sure Adolf would have loved it.

Nyah, it's just my camera. And I'm not sure he'd be too thrilled about the rollerskates...

Okay... tell you what. I "fixed" the other one yesterday, figuring it was really on white paper. I'll fix this one two and send it along...

The Fuhrer Highly approves of exploiting Miss Rarity!!

Until he gets a horn up his ass...

lol thats a great picture

I adore this, and the first as well.

I don't really see how anyone could find this offensive. You're making fun of him, not praising him in any way. Moreover, you're parodying a historical picture. Lighten up, people. XD

Actually, only one person truly objected and he changed his mind.  charlieg say it was evil, but I do believe he meant evilly funny.

Vicky has the advantage (?) of knowing me for over thirty years. When I post these things, she doesn't read them, she actually hears my voice in her head. (Poor woman!) Her estimation of what I said is accurate.

Kinda reminds me of what groat drew for me ^^

 RLDragonStrider requested it. I have no idea where he got the idea, but you never know.

Takeda Shingen!!
His Clan is renown for their fearsome Cavalry!

Put a samurai warrior on a plastic pony...

The kami will get me for that, but I'll see what I can do.

Awesome.
But if you want a more significant figure from Japanese History, then go with Oda Nobunaga.
He may only have conquered 80% of Japan, but he did set the country on the road to reunification.

Isn't he the one in that print in the snowy garden full of skulls?

That's Taira Kiyomori.

Okay. I know a little about Japanese history. Not a lot. Nobunaga-sama was the fellow who kind of set things up for Tokugawa, was he not? The man Tokugawa had to beat to create the Shogunate? And Taria Kiyomori was Nobunaga's ally/rival...

Or have I got it all wrong?

Taira Kiyomori was actually born in 1118 and died in 1181. More than 300 years before the Sengoku period of the 15th and 17th centuries.
He established the first samurai-dominated administrative government in the history of Japan.

Oda Nobunaga was only 1/3 in reuniting Japan until he has betrayed by Akechi Mitsuhide.
Toyotomi Hideyoshi avenged Oda by defeating Akechi. He soon brought an end to the Sengoku period.
And Tokugawa Ieyasu, the future rival of Nobunaga and Hideyoshi, completed the reunification of Japan by defeating Toyotomi Hideyori and establishing himself as Shogun.

There is a saying which goes: "Nobunaga pounds the national rice cake, Hideyoshi kneads it, and in the end Ieyasu sits down and eats it."

Thank you. It's hard to keep everybody straight sometimes. What I think I need to do is look up some old woodblock prints, since these pony-jokes were supposed to be based on visual history references (read famous pictures). I can see a series of three maybe...

In the meantime, though, I've done another series of erotic pony jokes. I'll try to color and post tonight, if I can.

No problem. You're welcome.

It would be interesting to know if the original survived; most copies I've seen show the marks of someone who slashed it up.
