Re: The gasping - don't forget the end of "Bridle Gossip" when the ponies couldn't find Applejack in the herbal bath.
I've noticed the re-used sound too (although the Fluttershy reverse gasp is new to me!). Really... like someone said above, are gasps just too difficult to record or something? Why use the same one for pretty much every scene requiring a gasping/shock reaction?
Now just watch the second season using unique gasps every time! Poni crew know we've caught on now. LOL!
But seriously, what an epic find. The only other voice sample that I know was reused was Rarity's laugh in Sonic Rainboom, which was originally in the pilot ep when Rarity saw Twilight's mane's all messy. I think I may know more, but I can't remember at the moment...
I don't see why a few people are harping on the studio for reusing voice clips on youtube. Every studio reuses a voice clip at some point. Yeah it would be great to get a new scream each time. But the reuse of clips saves time and money and remixing them into different is pretty resourceful.
Reusing voice clips is simply necessary at times. The scripts are written and recorded weeks, months, or even years before episodes are boarded and animated. You may find that you need a very short reaction for a character and don't have the time or resources to schedule a recording session for the actor to say one simple grunt.
Personally, I find it pretty funny when appropriate (Ed, Edd 'n' Eddy did it nearly every episode after season 1).
Let me ask you something for those that are freaking out. When you laugh, do you have a different laugh EVERY time? No, I didn't think so.
And the reason why they're reusing the clip in other instances is so that they can work on more IMPORTANT aspects of the cartoon, maybe animation or storyboard to make them better? Making new sound profiles would just take up time and money.
I've noticed all kinds of sound effect re-use throughout the show, including all of those in the video (and in the bathtab in Bridle Gossip, too), but I never realised it was reversed for some reason!
I really enjoy finding new instances of re-use, it's fun!

I never noticed the gasping noise being used so much.
Loved the last video, that song was very entertaining.
2nd video
WHY DO THEY ONLY HAVE ONE GASP?! DO GASPS REALLY COST A LOT OF MONEY? CAN THE ACTORS NOT HANDLE IT??!
MY BRAIN IS NOW OATMEAL
Cannot un-hear.
awesome vids.
2nd video...
*head explodes*
DENTAL PLAN!
Also, that picture of Fluttershy always gets to me...
Stupid question, what was the song used in the second video?
Also, cannot unhear pony-wilheim gasp

Wilhelm scream, pony version
liked the 3rd, but they need to work on not having so much static in one part :c
didn't realize the gasp was also reversed until now though, well done
Second video... I'm lost for words.

Schadenpony= all kinds of WIN!!!!!!
They should just pay the voice actors a little more to get more sound bytes...
That was an amazing find though.

Golden Age of Video parody was excellent.
That gasp is now known as the Wilhelm Gasp.
Fluttershy's cheer....
I can't believe anyone would ever notice that! Someone obviously has quite the talented ear!

2nd video: Having to do that kind of gasp several times would be like taking a cheese grater to your vocal chords, so I'm not really surprised.

+10 Internets good sir
Loved all of these; the last one in particular was epic. However as a fan of Avenue Q, gotta say that the Schadenpony was really well done =D
What really gets me is...how did whoever made video #2 even NOTICE that it was reversed?
we need more avenue equestria that was awesome. second video was cool, never noticed. good ear.
SchadenPony makes me feel all warm inside. Well done.
I actually applauded the Schadenfreude one. EXCELLENT job!
Video #3: Augh..! 15 kHz tone at 1:10. >_<;
Otherwise quite good.
You do all know I didn't make the song right? Take it up with Mr. Autobahn.
Thanks for the feature, even though I didn't make it into the Title or Url...
