Didn't get a thing out of it-- it might be a non-shitty kids' show, but that's all it is. If you really like kids' shows then this is right up your alley but otherwise you can just brush all these super-fan-theads off.
if you are going to try it out you should not watch the first two episodes - they are the worst two episodes i would recommend watching 3 (will introduce you to the characters) and then 16 (my favorite episode overall)
I'm deeply ashamed to admit that I watched both the OP video and second posted video in their entiriety. And then I proceeded to read the wiki and lookup videos of Fluttershy. (She really intrigues me -- mostly 'cuz she's very similar to an old friend of mine, and also there's something about soft-spoken shy girls that strongly invokes my curiosity. Why are they so shy? And soft-spoken? And freaking, why are shy girls the cutest and prettiest?)
yeah, other forums are abundant with pony activity. Especially over the dr hooves pony. And I have to admit, some funny background stories (like the existence of stalliongrad and Trottawa).

Catchy music, happy themes... Also, it's written by Lauren Faust, wife of Craig McCracken, of Powerpuff Girls and Foster's Home for Imaginary Friends fame.
The characters are likable and easy to relate to, and the moral at the end of each episode makes me feel my inner child again. The simplicity and innocence of the show makes me realize how too focused and irritated I get with everyday life, whether it be from studying or video games or work. I have to say, my nerdrage has probably dropped by a factor of 10 since watching My Little Pony.
