Since Jon has already given you an anti-hater message, I'll be straight with you.

We find its innocent simplicity charming, and making parodies of it also amuses us. Many things like this aren't creepy if you approach them with an open mind.

I recommend reading this article
http://www.thegeekprofessor.com/ponies/ ... o-society/

People are not all the same. They have different interests and opinions.
They have different likes and dislikes.
Some people love peanut butter, others hate it.
It's okay not to like something.
“Critics who treat 'adult' as a term of approval, instead of as a merely descriptive term, cannot be adult themselves. To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence. And in childhood and adolescence they are, in moderation, healthy symptoms. Young things ought to want to grow. But to carry on into middle life or even into early manhood this concern about being adult is a mark of really arrested development. When I was ten, I read fairy tales in secret and would have been ashamed if I had been found doing so. Now that I am fifty I read them openly. When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up.”

Okay. So.

How do you enjoy anything? There are certain things you like about it. things that attach you, such as comedy, relation to a character, the storyline, lessons, etc...
That's how.
I like it because of character relation; I'd probably be most like RD and my best friend definitely classes as a Pinkie. It's really hard to not flip out at him sometimes. He also has many cases of things Pinkie does, such as popping out of nowhere. I don't know how he does it. There's, of course, more things to relate to.

I like it because of comedy; not only is there stuff for kids, they do stuff for older watchers too. There's an episode called "Keep Calm And Flutter On", which I'm pretty sure isn't something a five year old would think is funny. And of course, we all remember the scene where RD wakes up Fluttershy xD If you don't, here it is:

I like it because of the lessons; no character is anywhere near perfect. Pinkie seems to have some sort of insecurity problems (Party Of One), Twilight seems to be OCD, Rainbow Dash is arrogant, Applejack never wants to burden anyone by asking for their help, Rarity is a drama queen, Fluttershy is.. shy, and more. Also, there is some actual good stuff to be learned. I still play Guess Who with my sister after every time I see Sisterhooves Social.

I like it because of the community; the fans are awesome. 'Cept two certain groups, the "ERMAGERD NU SHUW IZ BETAR DEN DIS AL BOW" and another one you can guess. But the rest of them are pure awesome and generally nice and funny people. Not to mention fanart, fanfics, fan music, fan parodies, Apple Fritter, Apple Bumpkin, Red Gala, Red Delicious, Golden Delicious... oh wait, the last five aren't parts of the fandom. They're parts of the Apple Family. But there's more in the fandom too that I like.

I like the show because of these parts from it:

So, yup. I'm pretty sure at least one of those clips made you smile, or you thought it was a bit funny. Don't judge a book by its cover. Honestly, I thought the show looked like something a two year old might like and thought bronies were stupid when I saw this thread start up and learned about bronies (heh heh, sorry :P ) Now I'm fond of the show. There's even more aspects than what I put here that I like.

I just wrote all of that? About MLP?

But on a serious note, the wiki page http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_Little_ ... gic_fandom answers it best, I think.
Honestly, I don't watch the show anymore, but I stick around for the fan fics, the art, music, inside jokes, and over-all kindness of the general fandom. Some members get out of line with their obsessions on the show, true, but extremists over anything have rarely helped peoples view on it.

It's understandable that some people don't like it, just like some people don't like Doctor Who, some people don't like Star Wars or Star trek, or Twilight, or whatever, but basically, It's a nice, simple show with a nice, simple fandom and some interesting and entertaining things because of it.
