It wasn't because of any jokes only adults would get. A lot of shows have that.
Ah yes, because pushing agendas in shows by attracting an older audience was not being done in all those older shows too!
But enjoying the series doesn't really make you a "brony" and I also don't believe that it was exclusively the My Little Pony stuff that brought it mainstream but more that it coincided with it. I only believe it accelerated it.
It didn't help that Friendship is Magic also had a fantastic cast of voices that was essentially headlined by the extremely prolific (if a bit not my favorite person due to her politics) Tara Strong, a voice that basically every kid of the surrounding era had heard everywhere growing up.
As I said in another post, it predates Friendship is Magic by at least 21 years when pointing at the ConFurence being founded in 1989.
