Wow, that trailer is pretty badass. This show sure has evolved from the pink that was probably expected of it!
The marathon apparently happens on the 22nd of January at 5:00 AM Pacific. That's a bit too early for me, but at least Spike is getting some love!

Awesome!
spike is best pony????
Thats actually really legit, haha. Way to go hub!
Those shadow ponies in armour at the start.... Bloody awesome!
Too early for you Seth? I wouldn't be surprised if you were hadn't gone to sleep yet by then.
But anyneigh, great trailer XD
@RBDash
*Facehoof*
Powerful, fierce, wild.
That's our SPIKEY WIKEY!
They saw the Training ground event.

Wait, 4 episodes that focus on Spike? "A Dog and Pony Show," "Owl's Well That Ends Well," "Secret of My Excess," and what?
Go Spike!
@GoldenSandslash15
He did have a pretty big role in Boast Busters.
Ponies with weapons! I'm OK with this.
something something dovahkiin...
Maybe the Summer Solace episode?
So are they just airing the episodes that have to do with Spike, or wll they be all new?
@Bear
solstice. summer solstice.
the more you know!
According to Zap2It, the episodes are:
8:00 - A Dog and Pony Show
8:30 - Owl's Well That Ends Well
9:00 - Dragonshy
9:30 - Secret of My Excess
Yes, "Dragonshy", even though Spike only has, what, 30 seconds of screentime?
"D Dog and Pony Show," "Owl's Well That Ends Well," "Secret of My Excess," and... "Hearth's Warming Eve?"
@brubaker
Still got the red dragon
That's badass, reminds me of those weird propaganda pony posters people made.
And if there's no 'read more' link on a post, how on earth are we supposed to reply properly to people's comments?
Pony weapons now canon?
@Chaoyll
The title of a post is a link to the post with comments included.
@Chaoyll Click on the title of the post.
Ya Dragons!!!! 1976 dragon brony here!
@Aerials Yes i know what i said, it just seemed to go with the video lol
It's never to early for you Seth ;) pretty cool trailer
Well Dragonshy has dragon in the name, so they probably think people will be happy with it. I always wondered what Spike's take on the whole dragon incident was.
Also when I first looked at this post with my bleary eyes, I thought it said Spyro Year of the Dragon, which was an awesome game.
The VA for the advert sounded pretty good, maybe they got the show VA to do it.
Terracotta Pony Army is now Canon.
Dem warrior ponies!
It's like the Hub heard about the "Draw a pony in armor" challenge!
@Rekiara
And now I doublepost because I can't edit.
*For the record, I don't *ACTUALLY* believe the Hub heard about said contest, I just love the coincidence.
Spike is best pony.
Wait, no that can't be right. You know what I mean!
Comments should be fixed. Someone found a mod to get rid of threaded and bring back embed
What did Spike actually say in this commercial? I couldn't understand it.
The comments are back to normal I see...hold on-is that a marathon? For Spike? wait a minute who...
@Sethisto
The comments are back to normal on my end so it seems they are fixed :D
"What's a non-baby dragon doing outside his cave? Something evil, no doubt!"
Yay, comments fixed, and spikey wikey marathon
@Bear Cool name bro!
What a great trailer! Seriously, that's just straight up epic - especially those archer ponies.
1988 brony here, so another Year of the Dragon. As such, I find this doubly awesome.
Thanks for bringing back the embed! I missed that...
Wha, the advertisements for this show are getting a little weird now! Dark red and black? Really?
@Sethisto
As I said in the stickied comments post:
"Soooooo, now you put the comment box back in, but you got rid of the links between comment pages XD. Sounds like technical difficulties are winning, derp."
Also why does EQD disallow the blockquote tag?
@Hat
He says "Unless it's green beans. Those things are nasty."
Is that from any of the episodes? Or is it from one of the upcoming ones?
Thanks Brubaker.
I imagine from the comments that Spike is a dragon, but why is there a mare-a-thon, or rather since he isn't a pony, a marathon for him?
@Sgt Byrd
Confound these bugs
Hold on a second I get it now that's the Element of Magic's assistant isn't it?
@Sethisto
Good luck and god speed underping that which is derped.
Actually I'm not really fussed, the current system is 99% good for me. The only thing I miss is the ability to add an email subscription for comments without having to actually make a post. That email subscription link was part of the comments box.
@Princess Luna
Where have you been? On the moon? ...oh, right.
I love their art style, very well done!
@hyreia *tears* meanie...
Still at 5 in the morning? My Little Pony, Y U NO ON PRIME TIME!?
That is one ridiculously badass trailer.
I was born in the year of the Dragon, too!
Also, what other Spike episodes are there besides Owl's Well That Ends Well and Secret of My Excess?
...Dog and Pony Show, I suppose...
Needs more Steven Magnet. (How's Steve doing, by the way? We really need to see him again.)
Spike better watch what he says around Flutterkhiin, lest he taste the wrath of her glorious Thu'um.
Spike isn't my favourite character, and the episodes centred around him aren't my favourite episodes...
...but I must say, this is awesome.
you know, i think the hub is just looking for any excuse to put on a ponies marathon. the majority of their viewers are probably members of the brony community
but hey, im not complaining c:
Epic advert.
Sometimes it's hard telling this is a little girls show.
@Sgt Byrd
Sounded like Cathy Weseluck to me. :)
@Brubaker
Could be from an upcoming episode, or they may have gotten Cathy to record this for the promo only. I've never heard Spike say that line in any episode.
I just realized I was born in the year of the horse. *mind explodes*
Huh, trailer was extremely badass.
Year of the Dragon, everypony. Time to fire up your Dragonforce albums.
No Secret of My Excess? He was practically the star of that one.
Haha. It's okay Spike, I hate green beans too. xP
In all seriousness though, that is a pretty awesome trailer.
oh this shall be fun
my only regret is that I was born in the year of the scootaloo
I don't see how people can eat string beans. Especially when the end of a string is caught on the end of your tongue and the other end has a fat part spelunking down your throat. GAG!
@pmcollectorboy
Look again:
8:00 - A Dog and Pony Show
8:30 - Owl's Well That Ends Well
9:00 - Dragonshy
9:30 - Secret of My Excess
Full of win: I think someone (The Hub) may be getting used to their newfound/unexpected target demographic.
Do I detect effort? From Hasbro? For My Little Pony?
They do care.... <:)
its funny how the hub is making the commercials appealing to older people now because of us XD like that one Equestria girls commercial and the iphone commercial with pony apps lol
Yep, the one episode I don't like is appearing. Oh well, I'll probably watch it anyways.
this is kinda like disney would do
1. Good
2. Meh
3. Great
4. AWESOME!
Nice ads. Gave me a real Jackie Chan Adventures and Samurai Jack vibe (yes, I'm aware those are two totally different cultures, but the artwork was similar enough that I thought of Aku).
And I can see them choosing Dragonshy, despite it not necessarily being focused on Spike. It still focuses on a dragon, which is the overall theme of the reasoning of the Spike-a-thon to begin with, so it gets a pass for me.
Sunday?
Too bad I'll have church.
Bows and arrows are now canon
Dragonshy? Should've been Feeling Pinkie Keen instead, Spike has a pretty big role in that episode.
Re: string beans, you're supposed to de-string them before you cook them.
http://forums.gardenweb.com/forums/load/legumes/msg0722491930002.html
I've never had a problem, but some varieties may be stringier than others.
I see I'm not the only one who thought this had a very Samurai Jack vibe. Samurai Jack was created by Craig McCracken aka Mr. Faust. Hmm.
-.- Samurai Jack is Genndy Tartakovsky.
@pmcollectorboy
Correct. People get Craig and Genndy mixed up a lot, because they've worked with each other in the past.
Shame about Sym-bionic Titan, too.
Cartoon Network, you suck.
@Sethisto
I don't suppose you could tell me where I can find this mod, could you Seth dear? I've looked around but thus far, haven't had any luck... any help would be much appreciated.
Back on topic, that really was a pretty nifty trailer. Respect, Hub~
yay im so happy they thought of this i was telling my friend the about the year or the spike.
p.s. im year of the pony any else?
@ca1tamii
It wouldn't surprise me. The station airs content for all ages, including classic sitcoms at night, which is how I first discovered the Hub.
The promo itself was pretty cool. Very reminiscent of the stuff Kids' WB used to do (like the Jingle Bells thing).
Awaiting live streams...
Someone needs to inform The Hub that four episodes does not qualify as a marathon...
Wow my mind is blown that looked pretty amazering
Stupid Cox! Why can't you have The Hub on basic cable!?
Was it just me or did those arrows seem like a Skyrim reference?
How come the hub ads are great, but all other American ads are, hmm... so weird?
Man, I love the designs for the warrior ponies.
Does anyone know a livestream that's streaming the marathon? The main one I used is down and the others I checked thus far aren't streaming the marathon...
用遊得也要游去美國，和Spike過龍年.
