British Man(Alex Day) Reacts to Ponies


This post is brought to you by the best Dash face ever.

I know we've posted reaction videos before, and I know that most of them have gotten quite stale by this point (which is exactly what I was thinking when Seth told me to watch this), but this one is quite cut down and entertaining. If nothing else, I'd say watch it for the accents and the guy's sweet RSS feed logo pillow. Seriously, I want that. Also, his pants. I want his pants. Not sexually, they're just neat-looking.

Video after the break.

Hot girls? Ponies make not only fan fiction lesbian, but real women.

Kidding.

This is cool, love his voice actually. Pants ARE cool too. Very cool.

AllTimeLow = LOVE. said...

Oh Alex you beautiful soul.

Erroneous said...

Is that the lady who does the KYM videos?

Ryan said...

I have to admit, I think more people would watch it if they were introduced by women like that. Just sayin'.

Ponies!!! said...

Dont worry. I hated Pinkie Pie for the first 15 episodes of so, but during the last 10 episodes and after reading fanfics, she's now my second favorite pony and by the end of season 2 I think she's going to earn the top spot. Basically, I know it sounds really strange now, but you'll end up liking her by the end of the series.

Ludo said...

Ah, Nerimon. I never thought HE of all guys would be talked into watching ponies, haha. Cannot tell you how much happy I had when I spotted this in my subscriptions list :D

Gaiash said...

@Erroneous: Yes. It's Kristina Horner also known as italktosnakes. From what I've seen on twitter she's trying to get many of her YouTube friends into My Little Pony.

youtube|UsurperKingZant said...

He wants a little Fluttershy action figure. How cute

Timber said...

You're right. Those pants are awesome.

DrWonderbolt said...

It's Nerimon! (Chameleon Circuit FTW)
OMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSH

Lucid said...

He's totally a brony. I mean come on, his view and attitude changed as soon as NMM got the upper hand. Welcome to the herd.

fakeguy said...

*5 seconds into the video*

WTF? whinny the poo?
I have nothing against Brits, but I can take poohfags seriously.

ElementalOgre said...

It's like watching the process of going from "meh" to "yay~" in one video, but with the plus of a British accent!

Moabite said...

Oh, hey. It's the guy who did the Twilight readings. Awesome.

Everybody hates Pinkie Pie the first time.

Sketchy Sounds said...

"I just wanna sleep with her so she'll be quiet."

Best Pinkie Pie related comment ever.

David said...

FLUTTERSCOTCH

Make it happen, Internet!

Flygon16 said...

Alex Day, nice!
>hoping he does a song about ponies

Haybuck said...

None can resist the pull of the pony!

frenchie said...

Somepony needs to make a Neripony...

ZAquanimus said...

That guy's pants!!!!!

They are fashionably epic.

Wow, completely turned after only the pilot, that's pretty amazing. I wasn't really turned until episode four and didn't consider buying the merchandise until episode 10.

Ekevoo said...

"Are they naked?"
I LOL'D FOR LIKE A MINUTE!

Wheeljack said...

What the hay... he didn't ask for episode 3?

@David
Cross and Arrow is already pretty close ;)

jrk08004 said...

Isn't she one of the scientists that do the KnowYourMeme.com episodes?

tobewriterpony said...

Ah... and another brony joins the hoard!

pasteur said...

Community's the best... but everypony here already knows that, surely?

Pierre Chanliau said...

I agree with him.

Why can't you just LIKE something and not be labeled something as silly as a "Brony?"

ninto55 said...

Oh my god, Alex Day? I fucking love his 117% Percent Complete songs. I can't wait to watch this! (Can't now, in TF2 :p)

Wierdplatformer said...

I totally claim sending this in...

benjamin said...

welcome to the herd

Highland Host said...

What's so awesome about our accents?

fakeguy said...

@jrk08004
you DO know "professor of internet sociology" is not a valid degree, right?

Ash Ketchum laptop. Awesome.

Inconspicularity said...

Alex has done it...

Tom, your turn.

Josh said...

Maybe it's because this is my first reaction video I've seen, but that was magical.

Fire.Esper said...

"Are you a brony yet?"
"Can't you like something without it being a thing?"

Clever, clever man. Loved the reaction in general.

I remember him from "Alex reads Twilight", that was great too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L253VLwH3w

Idle Drifter said...

The Herd continues to grow...

WizardWannabe said...

Ha, that was pretty interesting to see his opinion change over the course of it. Not a diehard fan, but still. Then again, I was unaware there were reaction videos for FiM.

@pasteur Damn right. Let's all watch more Community.

Heartmend said...

"Why can't you just like something without it being a big deal?"

He clearly hasn't seen the rest of the season yet. :D

Heartmend said...

And, this is what I'm talking about. People really don't understand what they're missing out on. If one takes the time to watch the cartoon, suddenly a lot of things make sense! :D

Tosxychor said...

The herd is UNSTOPPABLE! Especially with the aid of pretty introducers ^^

Heartmend said...

@Pierre Chanliau

From a personal perspective, I've always liked this cartoon from the start. I watched it back when it first started airing in October of last year. The cartoon is awesome and all, but I didn't consider myself a "brony" until February of this year.

I firmly place the blame on the awesome, awesome community for that one. That, and "Sonic Rainboom". There was absolutely no going back after that episode.

Winged Justice said...

I need a Fluttershy to keep me company too ^^

Gaiash said...

Since I mentioned Kristina tweeting about getting other YouTubers into MLP I figured I'd show you guys the very tweet I meant.

By the way somepony wanted a Nerimon pony?

Also includes charlieissocoollike, Tom Milsom and Eddplant.

Apocalyptic said...

Ooh,I love Chameleon Circuitt...
Hope he does a pony song. :D

Unknown said...

Ok where can you obtain the pants?

SomeGuy said...

Yes one day all will be a part of the herd.

Namefag Anon said...

pretty lulzy

she better show him moar

alexrockclimber said...

Where in England is he from? I can't pinpoint exactly? somewhere down south probably.

alexrockclimber said...

Also you know what pants mean in England dont you?

Pegasi said...

HOLY SHIT!

That's Christina from ALL CAPS!
Ponies are mainstream now...

Myles said...

Lol, I was hooked when I watched the Double Rainbow Dash youtube vid. I was like "Thats a bad-ass pony.. wtf show am I not watching that has ponies this bad-ass? And then I watched every episode in teh course of 2 days... No work was done during those 2 days.

Solar Flair said...

I too want those pants. Those are epic pants on the level of Travis Touchdown Firefly pants and the Crash Star jacket.

XD anyway, this was fun. Maybe I should attempt to get my friend into a reaction video. Or my brother, that would be hilarious!

Mush said...

BritBronies! Woot

Arexshortpaw said...

Watch first couple of episodes, become brony in 10 seconds flat.

Aquaman52 said...

@Pierre Chanliau

As someone who loves the community around the show almost as much as he loves the show itself, I don't personally have a problem with being called a brony. I did at one point, but in retrospect I'm glad we came up with our own nickname for ourselves before someone outside the fandom made one to mock us and we just took it on to mock them right back.

Peter said...

@frenchie
Someone already made an entire Son of Admirals ponies. I'd find it but I can't be bothered.

Troopzor said...

I feel as though I'm the only person who liked pinkie pie from the start lol

Namefag Anon said...

@Troopzor
she achieved best pony status for me by episode 5

MisterTTG said...

@Areshortpaw

Moar like 45 minutes flat, lol

Wolf said...

@Pierre Chanliau
Because the definition of "Brony" is someone who likes my little pony basically. It's not adding a new label, it's just simplifying "a person that likes MLP".

Wolf said...

@Troopzor
You are not alone...

MuffinShy said...

That that splotch(whatever he said) on their ass lolz.

nekoneko918 said...

I didn't realize it was Alex until I saw this in my subscriptions XD

Octavia said...

Jeez, I do love that Dash face sooooo much. /)^3^(\

Haha, some of his reactions and comments were pretty darn funny. I was getting excited seeing him getting excited.

He needs to get some Pocket Ponies.
Someone send him a link to the dude's DA account.
Also, a lot of people talk like that in Britain.
Most of my friends included.

RainbowDat said...

Bronies, we must welcome our newest comrade! As Pinkie Pie would say, "This calls for a PARTY!"

> " What do those patches on their arse mean?"
I lul'd.

RainbowDat said...

Twilight Sparkle is best pony. Always. Pinkie Pie is Not best pony only because she's in her own category of ponydom that transcends "best pony".

> " I feel like I should sleep with her just to get her to shut up." XD

ToonNinja said...

If that chick in the post could back me up, most of my friends would already be bronies.

Also, nice pants.

SkaFox64 said...

Holy sh*t, Alex Day? I thought he sounded familiar. WELL. Great work, british lady! Another semi-famous person in the herd!

Garrett said...

Yesss, do it, Mrs. Nerimon, make Nerimon a Brony ...

CharlieisSoCoolLike can be the ponies' badger friend.

And you'll all make an epic album.

FamusJamus said...

> Also, his pants. I want his pants.

Silly Cereal, you don't want his underwear. Trousers ftw.

AestheticaWolf said...

"they can keep me company while i work" dawwww that cracked me up and i love it!

Also you can make your own pants like that just buy a black pair and break out some bleach

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

@alexrockclimber

I'd say he's from Essex, but not too far from London.

"Her name's Twilight?"

"Twilight Sparkle."

"I'm not sure how I feel about that."

= pretty much my exact reaction when I first heard her name.

Imensha said...

Welcome to the herd.

Buster said...

I used to find Pinkie annoying too, and Rarity too pretentious. Now, I'd say Applejack's still my favourite, followed by Dash, but the others, I like 'em all. :P

ImperialAlicorn said...

It's so easy to convert people if you can just convince them to watch the show.

Zoot101 said...

@frenchie A long while ago someone made the Sons of Admirals as ponies (Alex included): http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/38/mylittleadmirals.png/

ToeKnee said...

I absolutely must show this to my anti-brony friend.

Ember Twist said...

So this is what ol' Alex has been up to.

Everypony approves.

Gaiash said...

@SkaFox64 Kristina isn't British. She's from America. She was just visiting the UK recently and decided to get a few of her friends over there to watch the show.

Dave said...

I was pretty neutral to all of them, then I started finding Rarity to be my favourite, and I guess watching Pinkie Pie's early antics after starting another marathon of the first season makes her my second favourite, Fluttershy and her poison joke voice along with going batshit crazy in BNE makes her my third favourite, and then Big Mac is awesome cause he's the only relatively often occuring guy pony, and he's a badass red, not some maroon purple or some crap.

Firleycat said...

A scene by scene guide to our collective decent into pony madness.

I did love how his face went when he heard Twilight's name (One of the other things he has done is read Twilight by chapter. Once you know this, you can understand his surprise).

Autumn Oak said...

An thats how a new brony is born

Ewyndall said...

Haha this was cool :)

Pirate Don said...

That poor bastard...welcome to the heard

Flutterguy0831 said...

Saw "British Man" in the title, and thought lol. Then I saw it was Alex Day and went :O That dude is awesome, and now he watches ponies. If he did a MLP song that would be awesome, one could only hope. :D

brett6781 said...

>Fucking badass pony

welcome to the New Lunar Republic my friend

Lemonite said...

That was so awesome! I love how about half way through the 2nd part he was started getting really into it.

rofl He has the Flutterbug.

Also, "Pinkie Pie is really annoying. I want to just, like, sleep with her so she'll be quiet."

1st statement: BLASPHEMY
2nd statement: INORITE?!

Dosko said...

I had no idea there were other FiM reaction videos. But this was a pretty good one :)

Marcoooootje1 said...

I know it's been said before, but hey that's the girl from Know Your Meme!
Also, seems like he's slowly turning into a brony.
Stil on the stage of I like the show, but I'm not becoming a brony! ~3 episodes later This is SO AWESOME /)^3^(\

lamebunny said...

And thats how Equestria was made!

Nebulon-B Frigate FTW said...

Twilight is obviously an 8!

Voltaire said...

Flutterscotch? sounds delicious XD

Pony In Chief said...

Since when was that Dashface better than /)^3^(\?

Blue fox said...

So that what brony transformation look's like.

Lolstaz said...

i am a fan of nerimon
this made me happy

Mattatatta said...

I laughed so hard when he said he wants to sleep with Pinkie Pie so she shall be quiet.

This video is hilariously awesome, and shows how easy and quick it is for someone to at least see why other people really like this show.

If I had money, I'd send him a Fluttershy to keep him company. Think of it as a "well done for giving it try and making me smile in the process, have a cookie" type of gift.

ZenKat said...

Please, sleeping with Pinkie pie would just make her louder... if you survive, that is.

U.H. said...

First impression: "the pink one kinda annoys me"
Episode 25: "Omg. want to hug her!"

And then she was my favorite. (Honestly, watching any Pinkie antics after ep25 puts most everything in a different light.)

Profesor Rod said...

Everypony starts falling for Fluttermoe.


Oh, and I'm so jelly for his RSS pillow.

Vengeance said...

I want to watch this story progress. He seems pretty open minded about this, I WISH TO SEE THE EVOLUTION OF A BRONY FROM THE OUTSIDE

richfiles said...

@Sketchy Sounds

Ha! Seconded. Everypony wants to sleep with Pinkie Pie, to shut her up... I guess we know what METHOD he's thinking about anyhow... "Oh, oh, oh! Are we gonna party? What are we gonna do now? wow! Are we goughhh... om nom nom nom.

But it's OK. Everypony loves Pinkie Pie! It's just, sometimes you need a moment of silence... Sweet, hot, sweaty silence.

--Looks down in shame for going there--

Sotha said...

That is funny. And his pants would make even Lyra jealous (or would any pants make her jealous).

Fluttershy said...

@alexrockclimber
He does have fantastic trousers. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say he is from the South-East of England.
Fluttershy "action figures" FTW!

danegraphics said...

"Flutter...scotch..."

LOL! That was awesome. Pretty much my same reaction exactly.

Blaze Silverfist said...

Yay, Nerimon. I actually saw this yesterday, cause I'm subbed to him. Got so excited when I found this in my sub box. :)
