Youtube Closed Captioning sucks. This was cute. I do see where you are coming from. You expect it to be Charlie Brown Christmas with ponies. It is not and its okay. It follows the same basic storyline with the play, the doctor, and Charlie Brown being depressed. They could have done better with the heart. I feel that you had high expectations and were let down. I kept my expectations low, and I'm not disappointed. Dr. Wolf did give a beautiful speech about working together. Because of a few bad apples, you hate the entire community? That is wrong. There are some wonderful Bronies out there. I know a couple, and it is true that beautiful things come about when we work together. After all, Friendship is magic.

I don't like the community because they've come in and acted like they're so special. "Look at us. We like My Little Pony. Oh, btw, G1 sux." I've been a fan of MLP for almost 23 years. Where's my trophy? It doesn't help that the people making the show are in constant contact with the brony community through social media and the convention circuit while ignoring the fact they're the peripheral audience.
I also don't like the culture of enabling. Every fandom has their bad apples, but so many of the worst the ponies had to offer were in the upper echelons of the community and others slapped down the detractors of their bad behaving using a warped interpretation of "Free Speech."
That's my problem with the brony community.
As for this. I know what Charles Schultz went through to make A Charlie Brown Christmas. To see someone do this just drove me crazy. By the end was just exasperated. Everything meaning of the original was gone and I had to ask, what was the point?

I've seen worse. There was a Comedy Central parody of A Charlie Brown Christmas that had Charlie as am Islamic terrorist who tried to blow up the Christmas celebration with a bomb he'd made. Yes, a faulty homemade bomb took the place of the tree. After that, this "parody" really doesn't do much to offend me other than make me roll my eyes in annoyance. Any particular reason this was ignored? For all your rantings about bronies, there have been far, far worse "parodies" by to the Peanuts!

The best answer is I've seen the Celebrity Roast of William Shatner. I know most people on Comedy Central have no viable sense of humor and don't watch them.

That changes the fact that worse parodies of the Charlie Brown Christmas special have been done, how...?
In any case, it's still wrong to hate all bronies. You should know more than anyone that we're not all like the ones you're talking about.
