Jayson Thiessen Is Answering Fan Questions on Reddit


No guarantees how long he's going to keep it up!

And, yes, he posted on his Twitter that he was in the reddit thread. This is legit.

Go look!

Or for all answers hit this link

Also...."i do like trixie. i think there is more to tell with her."



Setting up questions after the break

What have you done!?

OptimisticOutcome said...

NOOOO! He did not, seriously, this is a lie. Don't go to Reddit!

naahdude said...

PROTIP: This is a director of a children's TV show. Don't ask questions about pornography. *cough*TNF*cough*

@kINUNDI

Tootally_not_furry is a moderator of the Rule 34 subreddit. We told him NOT to post any, but inevidantly he did :P. He doesnt HAVE to answer them.

Btw, i dont think this should have been posted without permission from a mod.

i dont think we Want a MASS SPAM of the thread.

crazyredemu said...

EGAD! That is confusion looking! I don't like that site....Im staying away

IkusaGT said...

It isn't a Q&A without an obligatory cupackes reference. *sigh*

BronyQuest said...

@naahdude
TNF's gonna TNF. At least the one question about r34 was a legitimate question.

Mango Fox said...

|It isn't a Q&A without FIVE THOUSAND obligatory Cupcakes references.

FTFY

If you want to just skim his answers, go here: http://www.reddit.com/user/JaysonTee and click the "context" link for the question/comment he's responding to.

The actual post itself is going to get super cluttered really fast.

DJB123 said...

I wanted to read it but it's such a hodge podge and when I try to click anything it asks me to sign up, which I don't intend to do. Perhaps later one of you fine gents on EQD can summarize some of the more pertinent questions.

Razputin the Ponynaut said...

So Doctor Whoofs and Derpy have snuck into the office. And DJ Pon3 is advertisting canon. So, huzzah.

Namefag Anon said...

fucking Reddit. the 4chan in me is screaming with contempt, but the pony in me is screaming with WANT

xXFAT PIGXx said...

Heh heh. I thought it was kinda funny that the production crew does refer to the Dr. Whooves character by that actual name.

Roman500 said...

Cool perhaps I will join Reddit for this.

Octavia said...

Looooooots of comments. lol Jayson is probably having difficulties trying to answer everyone. And knowing him and how nice he is, he'll try the best he can to. :P

naahdude said...

@Namefag Anon

Unsubscribe from r/fffffffuuuuuuuuuuuu (if you want rage comics, there's always r/classicrage), r/politics, r/atheism, r/funny, r/pics.

Subscribe to r/mylittlepony, r/truereddit,r/subredditoftheday, and whatever other subreddits interest you.

Bam! Reddit just got 38.6% cooler.

Flutterfan said...

The way I imagined it.

"Have you read Cupcakes?"

"I have no idea what you're talking about, you sick sick freaks."

jerryzucchini said...

@Flutterfan
that actually was a question
i don't understand why anyone thinks it's okay to bring up the most shameful parts of the fandom in front of the supervising director

Psudopod said...

Too bad he hardly knows or will tell us any shit worthwhile.

Display Name said...

So how many bronies are going to celebrate September 17th by eating yogurt and fresh strawberries for breakfast?

nigel thornberry said...

i don't know how to feel about some of the questions people asked i don't think this will end well

Lemonite said...

I gotta say, his answers aren't exactly on par with the interactions we get from other members of the production team.

Ryan said...

@Lemonite
Jayson is trying to take care of his daughter right now while he's doing an "Ask Me Anything" session as we speak. For the responses he made, I recommend using this link:

http://www.reddit.com/user/JaysonTee

Lemonite said...

@Ryan
Yeah, I knew that already. I understand why he's a bit distracted, but I was just making a comment on it. He does seem a bit clipped and tired.

thunderhooves said...

Sethisto may begin freaking out now.

Lemonite said...

"granny smith is funny too.. but thats more of a season two thing.
OOPS!"

lolwut

Bryan said...

Hee hee. That Trixie comment is what made me pop over here to watch for Sethisto's double explosion and rainboom. :)

Ryan said...

@Lemonite
Kinda feel bad for him though. :(
Get your rest dear Jayson, just like ol'Seth here; :P I mean, you took Lauren Faust's position now and became the current "word of god"!

wanderhoof said...

Best quote so far:

"good has no demographic."

Lemonite said...

@wanderhoof
Like the words of a prophet

BZKlint said...

"No guarantees how long he's going to keep it up!"

No comment. Except for this one.

jerryzucchini said...

if only reddit weren't such a clusterfuck most of the time.

Bryan said...

@jerryzucchini

You just need to know where to go. I've been finding the r/mylittlepony subreddit to be quite good fun, tons of great discussions among fans and good atmosphere. I understand that many other subreddits have a worse atmosphere, which is why one of the first things I did was remove all of the subreddits from my account and then only add back in ones that I'm actually interested in. :)

MrazorK10 said...

And his favourite brony-made youtube video is this one /watch?v=ftvZFUg4HPc
For curious, this is a Ponified version of Night of Nights, which is itself a remix of Sakuya Izahoi's theme in Phantasmagoria of Flower View, titled Flowering Night.

A mix of MLP and Touhou is really cool to hear =)

Ryan said...

"Top Draw in the Philippines is handling the animation for season two.. they also do the production BGs."

So that's why Studio B Productions is focusing on animating Pound Puppies. Nice to see more cross-collaboration between those two cartoon studios on MLP:FiM (now the real question is how the two studios worked on Season 1?)

...And Filipinos are working on the show?! Epicsauce, this made my day. I'm a Filipino and I'm proud to hear that.

Afro Nyokki said...

Humorous Granny Smith moments confirmed for Season 2.

Win B)

Actias Luna said...

If it helps anyone, I find the easiest page to follow his comments on to be this one.
It's basically a "List of pots by JaysonTee" page.

Draik said...

"granny smith is funny too.. but thats more of a season two thing.

OOPS!"
Yay Granny Smith!!

Bryan said...

@Actias Luna

And note that when perusing that page you can see the question that the comment is a response to by clicking on the "context" link.

MidgetyBrony said...

Well this was unexpected, But what the hay..... And Somethings of MLP Fandom should never be brought up....

Dr. Henry Killinger said...

This man, Jayson, is an absolute genius. Loving it, well done good sir.

Also, I think I lost 20 bits. There is still hope though...

johnlmonkey said...

Aww he's calling it a night. Nice guy.

Gamer Brony said...

Somepony ask what the name is of the cafe twilight went to in the ticket master

Viethra said...

Fun fact about Applejack, she is actually the remnants of a collapsed star from the delta quadrant!

Also, Granny Smith is funny in Season two, whatever that means.

Kein said...

Interesting... and nothing in particular. That's our Jaysson.

personages said...

Apparently Granny Smith's getting some development.

Jecht said...

"they all have great moments and characters.. its part of what makes the show great. granny smith is funny too.. but thats more of a season two thing.
OOPS!"

Oh God, I lol'd. This is what I love to see - inconsequential tidbits that make little/no impact to learn, but are still fun to find out.

Laurence Brown said...

Sweet... There's already been confirmation for Big MacIntosh returning, now for Granny Smith... I hope there is some sort of an 'Apple Family Adventure' episode. I'd love to get a better look at the way those four interact with each other, especially when they're alone, and not having to worry about embarrassing each other in front of other ponies.

Suffuri said...

Some people and their comments. Really guys. We don't need to bring up Porn thar.

Understatedly Hyperbolic said...

Y'know, I never knew that yogurt could be spelled yoghurt... welp, the more you know.

ColourSplash said...

Wow they just didnt stop!!! And it sounded like just another community like ours..... Even if ours OS 20% cooler than theirs.

Profesor Rod said...

He is such a cool guy.

I loved his reference to Admiral Ackbar. He completely knew that that question was a trap!

ActionScripter9109 said...

Granny Smith hilarity confirmed for season 2. Props to the Reddit bronies for getting that out of him.

Cyber.Kuriboh said...

Could somepony confirm or deny if Trixie reappears D:. Its worse not knowing than knowing either way.

If she is explored more then how much of the fanbase's exploration does that destroy? Does Hasbro sell her as a different character?

If she isnt in season 2, she needs more episodes.

DreadedCandiru2 said...

Does that mean that the episode tentatively called 'Putting your hoof down' mean that we're going to get somepony explain that her first name is short for 'Derpatishkovna' (which is meaning 'filly with two wings')?

Tosxychor said...

That was beautiful. Jayson is the Ubermensh.

chachonimrod said...

Do you think that "frantic" "anime" PMV he was referring to was the Pinkiefied Caremelldansen? 'Cause I do.

ElectricZoNe said...

That dude really knows how to wright.

jinratgeist said...

From the AMA: "Top Draw in the Philippines is handling the animation for season two.. they also do the production BGs. i think they are aware.. i think one of the animators posts pony stuff."

I wonder who he's referring to? Yours truly or Kreoss? Oh, Mr. Thiessen, we are more than aware. One of my colleauges constantly plays MLP songs (from both seasons) in the studio. And the bronies of the crew just sing along to them. :)

moocow1452 said...

Might I be the first to say it? You got your Ponies in my Voyager!

That out of the way, I know he can't come out and spoil anything about Season 2, but I'm kinda disappointed how he didn't give Equestria being kinda socialist a fair shake. That and no answer on how Rock, Paper, Scissors works with Ponies.

moocow1452 said...

@chachonimrod

General consensus of the Redditors was the Night of Nights PMV. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ftvZFUg4HPc

Trixie said...

*falls asleep watching the thread the night before*

*wakes up*

YES! Trixie was mentioned. Can die happy now.

Ignaesia said...

Trixie confirmed for season 2!

Blu Cup said...

Got a good laugh out of the "my body will never be ready" answer.

DPV111 said...

@chachonimrod
I think he was referring to the more well known "Night of Pony"

Heartmend said...

Having read through the entire Reddit thread--not just the questions posted here--I have more respect than I ever had before for Mr. Thiessen. I feel really awesome about the future of the show! :D
