Apparently, Derpy was created by accident... in her first appearance, there was a glitch with her eye animation. I guess the designers liked it like that.
Fun fact: When Derpy was being voiced for this scene, the voice actress didn't know that she was SUPPOSED to be voicing a mare, and ended up voiceing Derpy with "A neighbors son in mind".
Double standards are lovely. Nobody's bitching about Disney's "challenged" characters, but as soon as a background pony becomes a fad and then they make her canon, everybody's officially offended.
you know if nostalgia critic made fun of derpy hooves and either douchey or the elephant in the room will be on his butt on this it will be really funny
@itherapies2 Hmmm. I concur. Ed seems to be the perfect parallel to Derpy. The accidents only. The retarded/funny statements such as "1+1= 1 on a bun" come next.
It's funny because I can't see one comment claiming that she is being offensive, just a shit storm of paragraphs by internet keyboard heroes who are attempting to show a point.
Just clumsy, and maybe a little slow. But she's not meant to be mentally handicapped (as so many people somehow thought and got offended by it). Derpy isn't meant to be offensive. Her character just pokes fun at clumsiness with no intention of making fun of the mentally handicapped. Anyone can be clumsy or slow.
@adamgener Sure. I know she's not meant to be offensive, but whatever she is, she's sweet and people like her, even if she is a pain in the behind sometimes and messes things up. :-)
I have an asperger syndrome(high functioning autism) myself, and find myself most UNoffended by the reference of derpy as mentally handicapped. in fact, I can even see how people get that. as far as i'm concerned, I can even agree to some extent. Twilights the nerd, rarity the preppy bitch, rainbow the jock, AJ the redneck, pinky the ADHD kid, fluttershy is the cute one who kinda just sits in the back silently, and now Derpy is the special kid. we have all the stereotypes in this show finally!
When you get right down to it, whether Derpy is meant to have a disorder or is simply dim, people love her. The internet exploded when she showed up. No one's saying anything bad about those with autism. People ADORE her!
@AvatarAngu I think you're completley right, some people get so wound up about things in society. I did find that this Ponie seemed to be "Autistic", but she's innocent and adorable. So people, please just getting so wound up, this ponie is something kids can look at and think "Hey, that ponie is like me" And feel special because it isn't some perfect character.
This is one of the greatest things I have ever seen! Best fanservice EVAR!!! Btw, I've watched this a bunch of times and Derpy does not seem retarded at all, just a bit clumsy! Her voice sounds just fine to me and cracks me up! Seems like the whole "Derpy Dilemma" is blown out of porportion. Like someone already pointed out, Hasbro stated that Derpy's name is fine, so it's all good. We love U Derpy!!
I mean, seriously. Chowder was a "fat" stereotype if there ever was one in a 2000s CN show. He was also "derpy"... Being overweight, that didn't offend me. I thought that show was hilarious. I have friends with disabilities and they didnt seem hate this character. It's a cartoon pony!! If you're offended by a child's cartoon, then there's something wrong.
Derpy is adorable imo. I love the voice they gave her. Enough to make me consider being a brony just cus of her. But no, people have to be oversensitive fucks saying she's offensive... I wish Hasbro would just ignore people like you. Companies ignore stuff all the time. They ignore nostalgiafags so why not people who whine over a perfectly fine cartoon character. sheez louise!
@chadachada123 Tabitha St Germain (voice of Derpy) when she was recording the lines she had no idea which gender Derpy Hooves was, so she just did an impression of a kid that lives in her neighbourhood.
oh my god! at 00:35 when she says "you ok Rainbow Dash, anything I can do to help?" I just melt! I love her so much. I know she means well but not much go according to plan when she is around!
I love how in the shows I've watched since I was a kid, there has always been at least one 'retard' character (Ed from Ed,Edd,and Eddy for example) and those shows went for months, even years with that character.
Now MLP comes with one character who's clumsy (it's not even implied that she has 'issues') and everybody raises a big ol' fuss.
How did Derpy get so strong? Seriously she's breaking shit without even trying! Forget the elements of harmony, at the start of each season Twilight should just tell Derpy to hug the main villain, and kill him with kindness.
She's not meant to be retarded or anything, the reason her voice sounds so dumb is because the voice actress doing her voice thought that derpy was a guy. Hence how dumb it sounds. Apparently they're going to change it if she ever appears again.
hasbro are just being objective idiots, saying what people should be offended by, not what they actually are offended by, i have never seen a complaint saying they've been offended by derpy's name, you know why, because the word derp does not even reference those woth mental illnesses, it refers to people with different facing eyes, not referring to people with lazy eye cuz that's not right. and people who are clumsy, say they fall over, it could be called a 'derp'. in conclusion, *facepalm*.
You guys really gonna make a big deal over Derpy? It's a kids show. I don't think any kid should be offended by it. Is it really bad to have a handicapped character? Thats like saying it's wrong to have an african-american be in a show. ._.
I'm mentally handicapped (highly functioning autistic) - retarded, if you will, and what bugs me is that people seem to care more about a show than about ACTUAL people facing these problems.
I have never in my life been called 'derpy', or anything similar. This show is actually rather fun for me to watch with my older sister, and Derpy Hooves is one -if not, our most favourite character.
Please stop telling me what I am offended by, because it certainly is not the grey unicorn pony.
@SaintHaHaLOLZ My little brother is autistic too, and I havent been able too, but I hope to show him this show someday. (Hes a bit younger.) But if I thought this show was offensive in that regard, I wouldnt watch it. But I love this show, and it in no way offenses me and I know my brother would love it. So, well put.
Derpy isn't "retarded" per se, but... Well to put it bluntly she's just not the sharpest tool in the shed. And so what if she is retarded? to anyone arguing that a retarded character is offensive, let me remind you that mattel made a wheelchairbound friend for barbie, whose chair was too wide for the barbie playhouse(which also had no ramps). People complained about that so the fixed the playhouse design. Paraplegics didn't offend neither should this. So STFU.
whats wrong with having a mentally challenged pony i don't see the problem!! who has ever seen a show with a mentally challenged character that is for kids hmm? i think its a nice change and you should leave Derpy alone!
Whining about this is like anyone that would whine about Becky Jackson from Glee. :I it's not like they're implying she has extreme cognitive issues, and even if they are it's a kids show and they might be teaching kids that if their peers have cognitive issues that they're still people and should be treated as such. Just an opinion though, don't mind me >.>
@sasoritol No way, it's your God given right to have your own opinion. That's what separates us from animals. We think and rationalize. Having you own opinion is nothing to even feel remotely foolish about. And this is a site where opinions are meant to be recognized, otherwise Youtube wouldn't have a comment feature. And I respect your opinion and share it with my own.
For anyone who thinks Derpy was meant to sound like a retard, the voice actress says that she initially thought Derpy was male before recording the voice. She's actually mistakenly doing a guy voice.
For the last time people, "derp" does NOT mean mentally retarded. And it's your fault you interpreted her as being mentally retarded. I remember a while ago, when MLP:FiM just started, this critic reviewed this show and said that it gave the impression that the light-colored ponies were superior to the dark-colored ones or something. That is a COMPLETELY incorrect interpretation of the show, and thinking that Derpy is retarded is a completely incorrect analysis of Derpy.
I actually rather like Derpy... I think she's cute. She could use a name change perhaps, and I can see how some people find her offensive. HOWEVER. That's not a reason to tell someone they must DIE because they find a cartoon character offensive.
I share the opinion, that she should just symbolize being clummsy and a bit disorientated... I think the most People conect her with mental disabilities Because of her crossed eyes, but without them everyone would say: Oh, Look how clummsy and cute she is...!!!
I would like them to make it so Derpy is not the symbol of special disabilities because it seems to cause an upraor but instead she's just a terrible clutz and a attractant to diasters.... she doesn't seem special mentally that much in what she does, but she seems just cursed to bad luck instead
Wow...you people amaze me. Does being clumsy and goofy automatically make someone mentally handicapped or "retarded"? No, it does not. Derpy is not "retarded", nor does her name mean "retarded". In the words of Zecora: "Dear Brony you are quite confused with how our friend Derpy is used, we do not mock low intellect or poke fun at mental defect, the clumsy moves that Derpy makes remind us of our own mistakes, teaching us to laugh and say "I'll get it right another day!"
@djxthexmonferno Well said! And to all the people who think that derpy is a mock to the mentally handicapped... shame on you people, don't you have anything else to do than to comkplain about a white humored cartoon!? Seriously!? Bronies recieve much hate for liking MLP FIM and say that we are retarded and or we have no life, but this whole controversy is blunt evidence that it's the other way around... But we be lovin' and tolerating still! Much love and PEACE TO YOU ALL!
I think Derpy is possibly the most ADORABLE pony in the entire show, bar none. Now that she finally has a VA, it's absolutely fantastic. She's so precious!!! ^^~
@BrownsBlow1995 Don't call Derpy 'retarded', (or anyone else for that matter.) no one said she was disabled. She's just clumsy. And even if she was disabled, there's nothing wrong with that and I'm sure the fans would love her the same.
Dear Trolls, "Derp" is an adjective describing a clumsy person (or pony) and in NO way has anything to do with mentally challenged people. I have Asperger's Syndrome! And I thought the name change was just awesome! The character that we bronies feel that we raised finally gets some recognition! So before you whine to Hasbro, bitching about things you don't even know about, THINK about what you're doing! Take it from someone with autism like me! WE LOVE DERPY!
derpy's name is being threatened!!! To save her character we must band together against the people that wish to take it away. They say it is because derpy is making fun of the mentally disabled, this petition is to show that all she represents is the clutz in all of us and the love of the brony community!!!
google "petition change hasbro studios" and it is the first link
Usually I don't make responses like this on videos but this is just crossing the line. In fact, if anyone is being offensive here it's you guys and you alone. I find it hard to be a part of the brony community when there are bronies that just don't get the whole love and tolerance ideal down and others who spout ridiculousness like this. Once again, biting the hand that feeds you. I will do my best to tolerate your blasphemous words, but this brony will not love it.
Seriously you guys? Your claiming that she's being offensive? How? As far as I can tell she seems like your average cartoon character to me. I mean seriously, you guys are getting riled up over simple cartoon mischief like this? You people nowadays will doing anything to make drama, I mean you are literally making a mountain out of a mole hill. Hasbro hasn't done anything wrong here and you all know it. She's obviously just being a clutz, shoot I see people act like that everyday...
If Derpy's name isn't considered "correct" for having a meaning of silliness, you might as well change the names of other beloved cartoon characters like Goofy, Dopey and Daffy while you're at it.

You guys really gonna make a big deal over Derpy? It's a kids show. I don't think any kid should be offended by it. Is it really bad to have a handicapped character? Thats like saying it's wrong to have an african-american be in a show. ._.

I'm mentally handicapped (highly functioning autistic) - retarded, if you will, and what bugs me is that people seem to care more about a show than about ACTUAL people facing these problems.
I have never in my life been called 'derpy', or anything similar. This show is actually rather fun for me to watch with my older sister, and Derpy Hooves is one -if not, our most favourite character.
Please stop telling me what I am offended by, because it certainly is not the grey unicorn pony.

@SaintHaHaLOLZ My little brother is autistic too, and I havent been able too, but I hope to show him this show someday. (Hes a bit younger.) But if I thought this show was offensive in that regard, I wouldnt watch it. But I love this show, and it in no way offenses me and I know my brother would love it. So, well put.
Forever Derpy! :3

Derpy isn't "retarded" per se, but... Well to put it bluntly she's just not the sharpest tool in the shed. And so what if she is retarded? to anyone arguing that a retarded character is offensive, let me remind you that mattel made a wheelchairbound friend for barbie, whose chair was too wide for the barbie playhouse(which also had no ramps). People complained about that so the fixed the playhouse design. Paraplegics didn't offend neither should this. So STFU.

Whining about this is like anyone that would whine about Becky Jackson from Glee. :I it's not like they're implying she has extreme cognitive issues, and even if they are it's a kids show and they might be teaching kids that if their peers have cognitive issues that they're still people and should be treated as such. Just an opinion though, don't mind me >.>

@sasoritol No way, it's your God given right to have your own opinion. That's what separates us from animals. We think and rationalize. Having you own opinion is nothing to even feel remotely foolish about. And this is a site where opinions are meant to be recognized, otherwise Youtube wouldn't have a comment feature. And I respect your opinion and share it with my own.

For anyone who thinks Derpy was meant to sound like a retard, the voice actress says that she initially thought Derpy was male before recording the voice. She's actually mistakenly doing a guy voice.

For the last time people, "derp" does NOT mean mentally retarded. And it's your fault you interpreted her as being mentally retarded. I remember a while ago, when MLP:FiM just started, this critic reviewed this show and said that it gave the impression that the light-colored ponies were superior to the dark-colored ones or something. That is a COMPLETELY incorrect interpretation of the show, and thinking that Derpy is retarded is a completely incorrect analysis of Derpy.

I actually rather like Derpy... I think she's cute. She could use a name change perhaps, and I can see how some people find her offensive. HOWEVER. That's not a reason to tell someone they must DIE because they find a cartoon character offensive.
You Bronies... Many of you need to grow up.

I share the opinion, that she should just symbolize being clummsy and a bit disorientated... I think the most People conect her with mental disabilities Because of her crossed eyes, but without them everyone would say: Oh, Look how clummsy and cute she is...!!!
I myself just think she is adorable...
MaggieNight 2 weeks ago
I would like them to make it so Derpy is not the symbol of special disabilities because it seems to cause an upraor but instead she's just a terrible clutz and a attractant to diasters.... she doesn't seem special mentally that much in what she does, but she seems just cursed to bad luck instead

Wow...you people amaze me. Does being clumsy and goofy automatically make someone mentally handicapped or "retarded"? No, it does not. Derpy is not "retarded", nor does her name mean "retarded". In the words of Zecora: "Dear Brony you are quite confused with how our friend Derpy is used, we do not mock low intellect or poke fun at mental defect, the clumsy moves that Derpy makes remind us of our own mistakes, teaching us to laugh and say "I'll get it right another day!"

@djxthexmonferno Well said! And to all the people who think that derpy is a mock to the mentally handicapped... shame on you people, don't you have anything else to do than to comkplain about a white humored cartoon!? Seriously!? Bronies recieve much hate for liking MLP FIM and say that we are retarded and or we have no life, but this whole controversy is blunt evidence that it's the other way around... But we be lovin' and tolerating still! Much love and PEACE TO YOU ALL!

@BrownsBlow1995 Don't call Derpy 'retarded', (or anyone else for that matter.) no one said she was disabled. She's just clumsy. And even if she was disabled, there's nothing wrong with that and I'm sure the fans would love her the same.

Dear Trolls, "Derp" is an adjective describing a clumsy person (or pony) and in NO way has anything to do with mentally challenged people. I have Asperger's Syndrome! And I thought the name change was just awesome! The character that we bronies feel that we raised finally gets some recognition! So before you whine to Hasbro, bitching about things you don't even know about, THINK about what you're doing! Take it from someone with autism like me! WE LOVE DERPY!

ATTENTION ALL BRONIES!!!
derpy's name is being threatened!!! To save her character we must band together against the people that wish to take it away. They say it is because derpy is making fun of the mentally disabled, this petition is to show that all she represents is the clutz in all of us and the love of the brony community!!!
google "petition change hasbro studios" and it is the first link

Usually I don't make responses like this on videos but this is just crossing the line. In fact, if anyone is being offensive here it's you guys and you alone. I find it hard to be a part of the brony community when there are bronies that just don't get the whole love and tolerance ideal down and others who spout ridiculousness like this. Once again, biting the hand that feeds you. I will do my best to tolerate your blasphemous words, but this brony will not love it.

Seriously you guys? Your claiming that she's being offensive? How? As far as I can tell she seems like your average cartoon character to me. I mean seriously, you guys are getting riled up over simple cartoon mischief like this? You people nowadays will doing anything to make drama, I mean you are literally making a mountain out of a mole hill. Hasbro hasn't done anything wrong here and you all know it. She's obviously just being a clutz, shoot I see people act like that everyday...

If Derpy's name isn't considered "correct" for having a meaning of silliness, you might as well change the names of other beloved cartoon characters like Goofy, Dopey and Daffy while you're at it.
