I remember watching the season 3 premiere, Gak commercials were everywhere, playing non stop!

As someone who would have to be awake by 6 AM to watch the live stream I really appreciate this explanation thread. also I would like to briefly ask:
 
Why the heck is there gak all over my ponies. :I  
No me gusta.
 
-sincerely, dafaq~

wow, the day the premiere airs and you morons already found a meme to run itno the ground
 
good job

Thankyou!  
I was wondering about this gak pony stuff

IF WE EXPLAIN THE JOKE, THE JOKE BECOMES UNFUNNY.

I think part of it is because its the christmas toy comercial season and because someone at nick heard this episode was going to get a lot of exposure. addendum, now I want to buy gak as presents.

interesting… marketing strategy… if you can call it that way.  
The popularity it got eventually - it couldn’t have been predicted. And it isn’t even useful popularity - not sells-wise. It’s more of an obscure in-joke even now. I wonder who thought it was a good idea to do this.  
More likely some ad time-space chenanigans led someone to push some delayed transmissions all into one slot. OR we inflated the cost of ad-slots near the show premieres so much that no one else was willing to pay for it.

Wow…great new meme guys…just great.

It did play four times in a row once. It was insane.

You all should have stayed around during the 1 hour Littlest Pet Shop premier. The Gak would not stop! Every single time it was 3 Gak commercials in a row.

You had to be there, Man!

It is basically what happened with the Gyro Bowl. A bunch of Gyro Bowl commercials came on and everybody has ponies with Gyro Bowls everywhere.

Gak PLS

it’s the same reason the gyrobowl became a meme for a short time. it was a bad advert in the middle of the show.

It was a gooey toy in a commercial.

During today’s premiere Gak commercials ran a ridiculous number of times, sometimes twice in a row, at least once thrice

How dare you call my religion a joke!
