Top Gear and BBC Notice Pony Video



Remember that Top Gear pony video some guy made a while ago? The producers of what is probably the highest-budget car show (if not television show, period) on Earth have taken notice- and they like it. I think.

You can find the story here.

Full Disclosure: Cereal loves the shit out of Top Gear but knows nothing about cars.

FIRST, and yayness!

Tast said...

Whoa... They're just in time for season 2! Talk about timing.

ThemsAllTook said...

Lots of haters in the comment section on the linked video, but quite awesome nonetheless.

Scribejay said...

Some say he can fly without wings and that sonic rainbooms are caused by his yawns. All we know is he's called the Stig!

Top gear and ponies, This is brilliant, brilliant.

kwj said...

wow cool and if they like it it's awesome

Sketchy Sounds said...

Saw this already, but I'm elated to see them pick up on it at last 8D

Leonhart said...

Trust me, if they know the Mane 6 characters names, they love it just as much as we do. :3. And despite the haters in the comments, you have to remember that the fans of this shows are usually in it for Clarkson and Co. antics or the cars, so sudden ponies will confuse the majority of them.

Freekles1245 said...

The Greatest Show About Ponies...

















































































..In The World...

Octavia said...

Well, you don't even need to know a ton about cars to like Top Gear. It's still a good show regardless and pretty funny sometimes.

Hmm, the article strikes me as kinda so/so. I think they're just pickin' fun though probably.

I also noticed all the hating going on in the comments, but com'on. You should pretty much expect that anyway. Someone also put up the Brownies video. Oi. lol Though I admit, it makes me laugh.

Top Gear and ponies, yayy~

showmetheblueprints said...

So much hate in the comments. :D

NoOne said...

i wonder if they will mention it on the show...if that happens, we will take over the world about 20% faster.

M1Abrams said...

OH MY GOSH!!! Top Gear and PONIES! I love Top Gear! We have invaded Top Gear...this is incredible!

Tosxychor said...

No one can stop the Pony advance!

pixelkitties said...

Whoever posted the video on the site is playing a bit coy, but whoever they are, they KNOW the names of the characters!

It's cool, my brony, you don't have to hide. You're among friends!

Shaun said...

Hey Bronies...
Hey...
Hey...

I'm meeting the exec. producer, or assistant exec, or co-producer, or one of the three this weekend or something, SHE is a friend of a friend of my step-mum.

I'm gonna see if we can get a shout out in the next series. Probably won't...

BubuJones said...

I love Top Gear! And I love Ponies! The two coming together is great. haha

The Dread Pirate Roberts said...

>Has been a car geek since the 80s

That was just brilliant! I'm glad they were secure enough in themselves to embrace the humor in it!

Also, LOL at the hater comments. Wat, SRSLY? Getting butt-hurt over a cartoon parody? Wotta buncha dweebs... LOL!

Razputin the Ponynaut said...

Briton is just starting to get it. Give them time. It wont be long before we see Doctor Whoof's Cutie Mark hidden away somewhere in Doctor Who.

Luke said...

@Shaun

@Shaun forget a shout out, go for gold. See if they'll use Pony music for the Stig laps. Imagine Stig listening to winter wrap up.

Trollestia said...

@Luke

That would be perfect.

alexrockclimber said...

I dont know anything about cars either but I love top gear

Marcoooootje1 said...

I hate cars, but I'm starting to like them a little better now.

Springtime Blues said...

I doubt most people who love Top Gear knows cars.

V said...

They name the ponies, talk about the "mane 6", and know Photo Finish's name. Whoever wrote this article is a brony.

We have infiltrated the BBC. I expect to see subtle references in the next series of Top Gear.

Shaun said...

@Luke
Yes! I am doing that!

Pony Corp - Ren said...

Remind me to DVR Top Gear, just in case.

Ignaesia said...

Hahaha nice, I sent this to Seth and yeah its awesome! :D

Wollffeey said...

@V

Or they just paid attention to the names in the credits. X3;

Firleycat said...

You don't have to know anything about cars to love Top Gear. That is the beauty of the show. Kind of similar to My Little Pony in their way to be enjoyed by all demographics.

F.eather- said...

@Razputin the Ponynaut

Durr. They do understand. Boomerang has bronies. Thats obvious.

But yes. Doctor Whooves should be in one of the episodes. Yes. Just yes.

tom10320 said...

*ahem* Cereal. Cereal. Hey. Cereal Not 'some guy'. I'm not 'some guy', assnick. No, I love all the blogponies. Really

Holy crap. I did not expect this. First I know of it is some person comments randomly telling me that I'm on Top Gear's website. Now this. What a great evening this turned out to be. I don't think I'll be sleeping tonight. Now if this makes it onto the show, I think I will die. But I will die happy.

CIRO said...

I'ved sent this to a top gear group of friends I have,I hope it works!

For the heard! :P

Marcoooootje1 said...

@F.eather-

Yush! About that, I really hope there will be some special guest appearances.
Like there was this rumor going on that Weird Al might make an appearance in one of season 2's episodes.

Flutterguy said...

Top Gear and Ponies? AWESOME. And don't worry about the hate comments. Haters gonna hate. Ponies gonna pwn.

Fire.Esper said...

Hold on, hold on... I remember a fanfic about this!

http://www.ponyfictionarchive.net/viewstory.php?sid=116

Also, the accuracy with which that post details all of ponies' names is quite worrying and somewhat exciting.

Spectre_142 said...

I love Top Gear! Glad to see that others are starting to recognize us!

F.eather- said...

If I ever meet a Top Gear person. I shall shower them with brony magic sparkles.

chinlamp said...

In full disclosure, I LOVE TOPGEAR, and also know nothing about cars.

It's mostly to do with how they play off each other I think, most show hosts are nice to each other, but Hammond, May and Clarkson treat each other like Siskel and Ebert did. It's funny as hell.

Also, so happy that they mentioned this on their site.

Wait, there are cars with ponies decaled on them, aren't there?

*does his Clarkson voice*

NEXT SEASON: THE STIG CRASHES A CAR.

WE CLIMB MOUNT EVEREST... IN 4WD'S.

WE SEE IF THE HILUX IS REALLY INVINCIBLE, BY DROPPING IT OUT OF THE BACK OF A PLANE.

AND I GET TO DRIVE THE GIRLIEST CAR...


















... IN THE WORLD.

And yes, he would say girliest, not manliest.

Unknown said...

MLP is officially the best troll ever.

Drax said...

Dafuck did I just watch?

McGack said...

Aww man i Love top gear, i wasnt watching it earlier, I know nothing about cars but it interests me :D

Namefag Anon said...

just watched my first episode of this show a few days ago. quite humorous

I like how they spelled all the ponies names right in the post description

Blue fox said...

Top gear and ponies. Freeking win.
Also any pony references on Top gear would get then so many more hit's.

moocow1452 said...

Now we just need to get this one noticed by Discovery. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s0ZEHa_j-4M

dmtactical said...

@Luke
I was freaking out wondering where the comment button was because of that huge gape below your comment.

Anyway this is cool, I am almost not surprised that a show as cool as Top Gear would support ponies.

Also TG is honestly a good way to learn about cars. As ridiculous as they act, they always give their honest opinion on things which is better information than all the "objective" official reviews out there. If a feature sucks, they don't hesitate to say it. If something's good, they praise it to no end. And the beautiful cinematography always brings out the best in the car's design.

Cortland said...

To quote Twilight Sparkle,
"YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES YES!"

tom10320 said...

@Shaun
Even if nothing happens, I'll love you forever if you mention me to the actual show people. Seriously. This is the best night ever.

Springtime Blues said...

It's not a big deal that they got their names right. It's a big deal that they said mane 6. I bet Hamster watches it with his kids, I dunno though maybe they did that thing where they age.

Shaun said...

@tom10320
I felt the same way when I got my ponified Gallardo posted on here.

You beat me here though, I sent some pony fan art, a bit of fic and some roleplay to TG at the start of the most recent season. Nothing came of it, so congrats for getting noticed.

Now I'm in the mood for posting as Clarkson on Ponychan again, like I used to, and maybe pony up some more cars on Forza.

ScrapBrainPony said...

Ok. This is officially rated as Fucking Awesome.

Mooke said...

I think we've won, ponies have now invaded everything of worth...


I have to say, I'm surprised at their knowledge, either the guy who does the blogs is a fan or they actually research!

This made my day. The Haters can keep on hating in the comment section but they know the aweful truth. When they watch My Little Pony Friendship is Magic they will love it.

Paging Dr. Strange Pony or How I learned to stop worrying and love the ponies!

Fransinn said...

yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes!! >w<

Servicerevolver said...

Top gear has 8,000,000 likes on facebook, they posted this on there. 8,000,000 with brains full of pony right now. This vid is needed:

And then the world grew hooves.

Mr.MooMoo said...

My two favorite shows ever together. IM IN HEAVEN.

Smokey Treble said...

I wonder if they saw that "Friendship is Rubbish" picture, or the fanfic it inspired.

Really though, is there any franchise MLP can't be mashed up with?

BE3ST said...

TWO BEST SHOWS EVER. TOGETHER. OHMYGODTHISISSOAWESOMEYESYESYESYESYESYESYES. SO HAPPY. maybe they acknowledge this in a future epsiode. Whenever the boys stop dinking around.

Icehawk said...

This is just absolutely awesome. Now if they ever drop an actual reference or even a minor shout out during one of their shows in their next season I fear I will get stuck in Rainbow Dash OMIGOSH mode for quite some time.

HB said...

So many bronies love Top Gear?

Guess I'll capitalize on this and make a second chapter to Friendship is Rubbish.

Killsteal_Wolf said...

Now we that have Top Gear. We only need Doctor Who and we will have claimed the entirity of the British Television!

Lizardfolk said...

Hey guys. This was created in honor of that crossover ;) http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-Equestrian-Stig-Friendship-is-Magic/202427233152327

Shaun said...

I'm now role-playing an episode as Clarkson on ponychan, what is this madness? If anyone fancies a read through I'll put it on my DA when it's done.

Mr Nutt said...

So first Doctor Who (Doctor Whooves) and now Top Gear, I wonder what show I like is going to get the pony treatment next... My Little Red Dwarf: Friendship is Smeg!

Dojorkan said...

NOW WE NEED TO MAKE BBC AWARE OF DOCTOR WHOOF.

lwllw said...

cereal,same as you,and since you like Top Gear,you won't mind if i drop a piano on your car or..if you dont have one....someone's else

onery said...

Now all we need is an actual pony reference/shoutout in the show itself... ^ ^

~mya

Profesor Rod said...

If cars were dresses... :V

Choctopus said...

Now imagine how many new bronies there would be if the mentioned it on the show. Especially since even my pony sceptic boyfriend and brothers thought that video was great

Kaoshoneybun said...

Had to draw this...It's the actual Top Gear presenters as ponies http://kaoshoneybun.deviantart.com/art/MLP-FIM-Top-Gear-Ponies-254974781
