Physics Brony Gets a Pile of Free Pony

For his awesome presentation that invaded pretty much every corner of the internet, Physics Brony has received a massive thank you from Hasbro, in the form of ponies.  

I kind of regret taking chemistry instead now!  Confound those high school advisers and their love of the fundamental elements of the world.  They have stricken me with ponylessness!

Grats Physics Brony, you earned it.

You can find his Reddit where he reports that here

Now if only they were show accurate. (Pink hat applejack? for shame)

Cool that Hasbro actually took notice, though.

I let out quite a loud 'HAH' when I read that. Perhaps too loud.

This is fantastic. He defintely deserves it.

...we are truly the weirdest (yet in my eyes greatest) fandom that ever existed so far. XD

Lucky guy. :D

Can't help but wonder how his family reacted seeing a huge pile of ponies on the front step, or in the mail.

Xael said...

don't forget "...the best fandom" :)) ... gg Physics Brony ...ya earned it :D

Tosxychor said...

Wow, that was unexpected. It is at least a move that shows Hasbro is fully aware of the brony potential in publicity + toys departments.
I wonder how many will emulate in some way his guts, in hope to receive the same treatment from Hasbro. ^3^

The look on his face is that of pure childhood joy. These ponies are turning men back to boys and I dont think they regret it even a little bit.

Zarkanorf said...

I like how he looks like he's in ecstasy while holding the ponies; reminds me of Hue Neutron going "Endless pie... endless pie..." except the pie is ponies.

Destroyerbaby said...

This. This is the best thing. I mean, the physics presentation was already the best thing, but this is the icing on the cupcake.

CAKE. I meant cake.

Kjh242 said...

@Zarkanorf
Best. Scene. Ever.
Pie... Endless pie...
Poni... Endless poni...

I want to give Hasbro all of my money because of this awesome gesture.

This picture made me burst out laughing. That's what I get for looking at EqD at work.

So much pony! His expression is priceless XD

Awesome photo ^^

And I love Hasbro for that.

That's really nice of Hasbro. I'm really happy for him, he definitely deserves it.

This is made of epic and win. So happy for him.

I heard that beer companies sometimes free merch like unused bottle caps or labels.
Never thought I would see the day, when MLP merch would be given for psychics presentations.

Awesome! But I very jelly...

That's pretty hilarious actually. Did he actually keep them or give em away?

GrapePie said...

Always nice to see Hasbro and/or their employees noticing and rewarding our efforts. You deserve it Brony!

That's nice of Hasbro, also, his expression absolutely sells it.

I love his expression. Such joy.

I WANT FREE PONIES! I'm jelly.

FOR FUCK SAKE STOP MAKING CELESTIA PINK.

I fell like repeatedly punching the toy designer while saying that line over and over again.

Lol, this is so funny. Best of all is that golden expression in the picture LMAO.

That is a perfect expression, absolutely priceless!

He earned those ponies, I'm happy for his winnings

I would like to hear a statement from him... but then again, a picture say a thousand words... :P

That's a nice face.

I had never expected anything like this to happen.
Hasbro, a multinational toy company noticing us, a small and young online fan community, to the extend to send out a ton of free ponies ...

Somepony in their PR-department is doing a very good job.


I'm also very impressed that even after months neither Hasbro nor The Hub made any attempts to remove the full and HD-quality episodes from Youtube.

Anonymous said...

This is so awesome and he deserves it so much!

But i'm jelly too :D

Macon said...

While it's a pretty awesome gesture, it wouldn't mean as much to me. The truth is... I've already bought half of those! *ohtheshame* ;)

Anonymous said...

That is a very cool gesture on Hasbro's part. I think we can safely say they are, at the very least, 20% cooler than most big companies!

I think it's also a very shrewd one. Clearly, they've realised the insanely high potential in the brony fandom - which, I suspect is not dissimilar to the one enjoyed by, say Transformers (and, indeed, the twain may well meet, especially among the toy collectors). Getting grabby (as certain Other Companies are infamous for) gets you a bad reputation, but little gestures like this, and pretty much everything else they've done to support the community is gettings them scads of goodwill.
By outright encouraging us, they'll be laughing all the way to the bank.

Way to show you can be a big company and still be really awesome people too, Hasbro. I salute you!

Hasbro hasn't taken it down because they make more money off of the merchandise than they do off of the show. Therefore, youtube can help get make fans of the show who then in turn but merchandise. Hasbro is playing this one smart.

Anonymous said...

Grats to him! I can't stop laughing due to his face though, lol.

Spaerk said...

Don't be sad Sethitsto... you may have missed the ponies, but chemistry is far superior to physics :P (We are actually allowed to blow stuff up and set everything on fire :D)

fire8442 said...

best facial expression ever

@Spaerk
Chemistry is just applied physics. :3

aramaru said...

rainbowdashsalute.jpg to Hasbro for this one!

beroulga said...

Honestly I think that Hasbro just finds it really funny that they can give pony toys to older boys. I really do.

All I can say is

"Whycan'tIholdallthispony.png"

Maybe this stunt will further encourage Hasbro to make higher quality show-accurate toys.

Congrats to the show-physics brony!

....

If only I was still a student, I would so make a physics demo about Transformers!

Anonymous said...

I too will devote an entire project on My Little Pony someday. And I will pray to god that I get free shit as well.

Patchwork Poltergeist said...

I think that picture made my day.
Physics Brony looks like he will be happy forever and ever, as if he were on some sort of magical happytime druggy drug to make one eternally wacky and delighted for all of the times ever. You know, the same thing Pinkie has in her veins.

That or the Brony version of Scarface. I can't shake the feeling that he's actually laughing manically.
"Soooon. SOON ALL THE PONI WILL BE MINE THOUGH THE MAGIC FRIENDSHIP AND PHYSICS! THE RAINBOW WILL LAST FOREVVERRRRRR"

Ewyndall said...

I wish I had seen his face and every other person's face around him the moment he received a huge package filled with ponies xD

Congrats to him, his expression is priceless.

Also, I like how we've dubbed him Physics Brony.

This is fantastic. Kudos to him.

And yes, I jelly.

Someone needs to do a follow up physics presentation demonstrating how the emissive electromagnetic wavelengths of the animated television series do not correlate to the reflective electromagnetic wavelengths of the polymer based models of the characters sold at retail.

Anonymous said...

At least Hasbro loves us.

You all remember the Double Rainbow Guy? That's my reaction to this. When I see this, that's what I feel. I am literally incapable of suppressing my happiness for this brony. It's just... so intense.

Flygon16 said...

So. Full. Of Win. Here is depicted what is known as a "Ponygasm."

Oh, and your advisers were unenlightened, Seth. Chemistry is just applied Physics.

Kero said...

Confound these physics, they drive me to ponies.

I salute you, Physics Brony. This gives me great motivation to do well in Physics next year.

And so this is how he stayed for the rest of his life

Why? Because magnets are physics, and he is the physics pony!

Nevertheless, totally awesome! Yay Physics Brony! ^.^

Heartmend said...

This, right here, is Pure Awesome.

The production crew loves us.
The Hub loves us.
Hasbro loves us.

This just fills me with All Kinds of Happy(TM). :D

(As far as show-accurate toys, I think the buyers for major retailers decide certain things. Like, they'll buy 500 units as-is, but make it pink and they'll buy 5,000 units instead. Write to major retailers and complain. I truly suspect Hasbro would not mind at all making toys on-model if they had a choice.)

Fwiw, someone's done a chromatic analysis and Celestia in the Show IS pink... just not as intense as the toys.

What the fuck? His presentation was mediocre at best and his grasp of physics is really shaky. I guess I'm happy he got some free stuff, but I'm really perplexed.

The video brought in a lot of people outside the fandom into the show, which led media outlets to report on it and got even more people exposed to the show.
