Ponies: Perfect for Travel

Travel Channel's Anthony Bourdain has apparently caught the pony bug.  An expert on travel is clearly someone to follow for those of you that find yourselves on planes for whatever occupation you are currently stuck in.  He even started to ship Applejack!  It's only a matter of time before whatever electronic device he is currently using ends up emblazoned with a pony in the background.

Sunset Sprinkles said...

His posts slightly irk me. lol

MegaPatron said...

funny yet disturbing

CityFlyer502 said...

I honestly don't even know what to make of this.

Maquabra said...

Hey, I know this guy. He's a bit creepy. A perfect brony candidate! :D

Sothalic said...

Hmm... yeah, his comments are slightly creepy, but coming from Twitter, this is to be expected I suppose.

James Corck said...

I am interested in his motivation for the fourth comment. He does preffer the Hentai version of what? MLP? An MLP character? Another anime? The World may never know.

Background said...

I love that guy. Now even more so.

Maquabra said...

After giving it a better look, I must say that it;s just like the rest of Twitter - an interesting novelty for 15 seconds and something to forget asap. Still, was fun to find out about it.

Dawnmist said...

Heh, I don't watch his show much but he's a pretty cool dude.

Kesono said...

Oh god, I loved him before but now my love for him has been doubled!

naahdude said...

Based on that last comment, I don't think he's a very big fan of the fanbase :/

Can't really blame him

DJ-Pinkamina said...

I couldn't stand him..,, now I guess I have to :P confound loving and tolerating

Cyanide said...

Haha, Tony Bourdain remains awesome.

Impious said...

Resistance is futile.

Mint Baker said...

And his awesomeness has gone up 20%

Dan Guitar-Guy Gaertner said...

disturbing how he's talking about pony sexuality and hentai... eeugh gross (Maybe cuz i'm not a clopper)

Loupgarou said...

You guys shoulda posted with They Might Be Giants posted pony PMVs on their facebook!

Travis Smith said...

Any one else concerned about what he said in the second comment post about AJ?

Masquerade said...

I already didn't like Bourdain, but now he talks about hentai ponies and sad Sweetie Belle?

-_-

naahdude said...

@Travis Smith

No, because it's a fucking joke.

Masquerade said...

@Travis Smith
Actually, that was the only 'normal' one. So no.

Rafasde said...

@Travis Smith
In Spike's immortal words:

"Dude, that's creepy."

David said...

"Pop A Valium"

Ah, that explains it.

Travis Smith said...

@naahdude
@Masquerade
Ya your both right

Scootacannon said...

Always nice to see more high profile people join the herd. But dude, those tweets are creepy.

naahdude said...

Hurr durr creepy creepy creepy

You people need to get a sense of humor about yourselves. Bourdain sees FiM as little more than a kids' show, and thus his comments about sexuality and violence juxtapose the show's innocence durr hurr durr.

Vargras said...

He's pretty sarcastic to begin with. As long as you don't take his tweets too seriously, it ends up being hilarious.

That second one makes me crack up every time I read it, and AJ is one of my favorites.

key_and_the_van said...

Bronies accidentally the world.

Quiche Lorraine said...

I can't tell whether he's just being smarmy, or actually making fun of the show...

Crosswing said...

I honestly have trouble believing this, such an awesome dude and now he's a borderline Brony? Too good to be true in my eyes, but I'm gonna stay optimistic just because if it's true my life has just gotten better

Shadow Heart said...

@Travis Smith

I was distuurbed way more by his forth comment.

O_o what am I reading?!

Jimperator said...

I thought they were pretty funny.

But then, I'm very frivolous and like sarcastic humor.

Amos said...

Why is he flying to Finland? Is it for the show or does he just love cold air, depressing people, and exotic Finnish swears as the every second word in a sentence?

LittleJoeRambler said...

Not really sure how I feel about this... Guess I'll give it a few days to see if he's serious or if this was just for the lulz or something.

Dusty said...

Shipping AJ!?!?! He is now my enemy.

Peter said...

I don't think he's watching it by himself. Based on what I found from responses on his Twitter and on his Wikipedia page, he has kids and is probably watching it with them.

TL;DR: One pony-related comment does not a Brony make.

Travis Smith said...

@Shadow Heart
I was too so I ignored it

Dragoon235 said...

Anthony Bourdain, you will never cease to amaze me...

Hexplosion said...

@CityFlyer502

Same. Sounds kind of like a douche. Oh well, even douches need love.

Zealot said...

Yeah, he's always had kind of a weird sense of humor. But I guess this is our chance to love and tolerate some more =P

Johuotar said...

Im ok with him, I can deal with his weirdness and his show was nice when I watched it. He just acts weirdly, its his "thing".

Cowboy Wolves said...

Everyone on EQD gets butthurt at the most mild obsecnities involving the ponies.

HappyCrusader said...

He sounds like another common creep by those tweets. Not impressed.

SilverSparkle said...

I like the guy, he may sound crass and obscene but he really isnt that bad.

Viridian said...

Well, that was....

...weird.

saply said...

He's probably watching it with his daughter or something. This is the same guy who guest starred on Yo Gabba Gabba, remember?

The Bearded Stallion said...

He probably isn't a brony. It's kind of hard to tell but he doesn't actually state that he is a brony in any of the comments or tweets. He doesn't say that he isn't a brony but he does have kids so... We'll just have to wait and see.

Vurtax said...

I prefer Andrew Zimmern by a buckton but if this guy is serious then I don't see a problem with that.

cardshark78 said...

OK, probably just a dumb tweet these big wig stars do just to get attention. I personally do not watch his shows (or any of the reality shows on cable these days except for COPS). I spend most of my time watching ponies and reading Fim Fiction. This is just an attention getter by these "stars".

Mike said...

lol, I'm so disconnected from modern famous people.
I have no Idea who that is.

John said...

Oh man, I love Anthony Bourdain! He may be crass at times, but if you watch his show you'll see that he harbors a wonderful appreciation for other cultures and different outlooks on life, so I'm perfectly fine with him taking up bronyism - he'll poke fun at us, sure, but don't take it too hard guys. Know how to laugh at yourselves! ;)

Astrophel Agonistes said...

Bourdain excels at irreverent and flippant comments. He can be either charming or douchey depending on the context and your perspective, but he does have a good sense of humor about himself. I wouldn't get too worked up about it.

G3stalt said...

YYYEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS

Adrian Brony said...

>pop a valuim
that might explain the strange content of the next posts.

Supreme Commander of Brony Mountain said...

Can't tell he's trolling or just trying to be weird...
This does sound like something he'd say though, and while he does have kids he doesn't bring them along for the show therefor if he's watching MLP "on the clock" it's for his own enjoyment

B-Man said...

"@NoReservations Seriously, Pinky[sic] Pie?Who gives stripper names to kids' toys?"

HURNG said...

Bronies.
Calling anyone creepy.
HURR HURR POT CALLING THE KETTLE BLACK DURRRRRRRR

DarkApostleMatt said...

Yup, that does sound like something Anthony would say.

That top one... Someone send that to Crookedtrees and Swaetshrit so they be jelly.

Jebediah Oldenheimer said...

The only thing I'm confused about is what hentai he's referring to. FiM hentai? Or something else?

Jebediah Oldenheimer said...

@Peter
One? But there's three there (four if he is in fact talking about pony hentai), MLP, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie.

HMorris73 said...

@John
@Astrophel Agonistes
These two know what they're talking about.

HMorris73 said...

Also based on the third comment I'm pretty sure he is watching it with his daughter (which is cool too).

Kelly Ryan said...

> Celebrity makes comments about ponies.
> Comments end up on Equestria Daily.
> Celebrity declared Brony.
> Celebrity has their accounts bombarded by Bronies demanding confirmation.
> Success?

bronydash said...

Pretty sure he's making fun of the bronies who do enjoy that stuff. Either that, or he's just an asshole. Judging from the few episodes of his show I've seen, I'm inclined to believe the latter. Adam Richman is a way better host. Always funny without offending anyone.

KC said...

WHAAAT!? I love Anthony Bourdain! and man, am I very surprised that he likes the show! good to know

noodlegirl88 said...

YAY! Anthony Bourdain and ponies!! Someone needs to make a pony version o.o right now *-* I love Anthony Bourdain, he's the only 'celebrity' chef I can stand. I have his Les Halles cookbook at home and I love the fact that his crassness is even in there. He's an asshole, and I love him for it.

mcpaterson said...

My sister pretty much worships this guy. Seeing as she thinks im weird for watching my little pony I wonder how she'll take this bit of information.

un1qu3 said...

Anthony Bourdain is one of my freaking role models.

I'm so happy.

Nidodox said...

I personally don't care what the context is. If he watched and is just making his usual commentary it's than I'm happy MLP is big enough to even warrant the attention. He he actually enjoyed it, well then quite frankly I have no idea what to think.

Either way, Mr. Bourdain has earned yet another free beer if I ever run into him. I may as well buy him a bar.

Bufflord said...

The respect has been doubled. I watch the guy on TV and I very much appreciate his odd sense of humour. It's pleasantly surprising to see him commenting on MLP on his Twitter, I actually do wonder how aware he is of the brony community on the Internet...

Ulrik said...

I think that's me that wrote about Applejack.

R10t Pol1ce said...

APPLEJACK IS PERFECTLY SECURE IN HER SEXUALITY/bronyrage

R10t Pol1ce said...

zombie pony? said...

I'm pretty sure that he isn't a brony. And it's safer to assume that he isn't anyway. He has a daughter and one of the tweets was "Oh god I'm gonna have to watch a girls show. Better medicate myself so I can get through it"

seth077 said...

he is definitely not a brony
"pop a valium" he hopes to sleep through the episode
"pinkie is dead" this is what he thinks while he has to watch the show because of his kids

these arent jokes, he HATES the show

Quackers said...

Yes, he is definitely making jokes about Friendship is Magic. The replies to his tweets are worse. 'Pinky(sic) Pie sounds like a stripper name!'

I'm surprised no one told this guy he spelled Pinkie wrong.

Unknown said...

yall so silly raging over this... pppfffftttt hahahaha

LizardWizard said...

Bahahaha. Y'all need to calm down, y'hear?

ElectricZoNe said...

Interesting,I follow him on twitter and missed this little gem.

Jimmy James said...

I don't recall ever seeing Applejack struggle with her sexual identity on the show. I'm a bit worried about his hentai post. What could he be talking about? o__o

HMorris73 said...

@seth077
I agree he's not a brony, but this just sounds like his usual snark to me. When Anthony Bourdain genuinely hates something you know it.

David H. said...

No way a guy like Anthony motherfukkin' Bourdain watches My Little Pony. I refuse to believe that he's being sincere. I've watched too many of his shows to fully accept that he's a brony. My mind is telling me that he is just being his sarcastic self. His unusual humor. That's it, yeah.

HMorris73 said...

@David H.
Don't forget that he has a young daughter.

BronyTree said...

@David H.
I'm pretty sure his Young daughter watches it... and he comments on it.

dudman22 said...

Anthony Bourdain is sarcastic and cynical. He's joking. It's a joke. Understand that it's a friggin joke. The guy is actually pretty awesome, being one if the few tv chefs I can stand. If you watch his show or read his books you will understand that it's supposed to be funny.
