      I swear if they heard DJ Alex S and other amazing artist in our fandom, the would really enjoy it.

      Also note how this is a show, not an intellectual debate. Those teens are in that show and they know that the purpose they are there for is to entertain people watching, and what better way than by your initial reaction and than sticking to it?
      I'm sure for many bronies here, they also didn't become bronies in an instant.
      If you look at the teens' point of view, being also under pressure with the camera and microphone, maybe you would of also shown negative reactions, instead showing the interest you have slowly being formed, but hardly identifiable in such a short time.

      I am surprised they didn't know of us... They fail as teens if they don't know about the internet.
      Also, loving and caring and sharing and tolerating is considered TROLLING?......
      I have lost faith in today's generation of stupid teens like those exist. Be a MAN? Whats a man anyways? Someone who drinks and watches stupid shit like SpikeTV? Pathetic... I want to know if they know people in the army also are bronies. Those teens don't deserve oxygen. That one brony yes. :P He is open minded.

      That was pointless. They should've shown them at least one episode, since they obviously won't like it based on the intro alone. If that's the only thing I knew about it, I wouldn't understand why the show had a huge fanbase either.

      I bet each of those people would instantly hate Rarity for being shallow and vain. I really can't blame teens for disliking a show based on the visuals alone. So many people in this world judge things by only what they see. Would most Bronies want to watch another show that one of the voice actors did, even if it was a show intended for a preschooler(and not created by Lauren Faust)? I would, but not many would follow.

      Sigh...
      To much to say on this. I'm a 15 year old female brony, and I must say, if I met a nice guy and found out he was also a brony, I would date the living SHIT out of him!
      But the teens of my generation are very close minded and judgmental, grasping at trying to be cool. Hopefully as they mature, they'll realize life isn't just about cloths, Call of Duty, and dropping curses like young and hip sailors. ^^
      I only with they showed a couple clips, including Crazy Twilight/Pinkie or Fluttershy KOing the bar. And a soinc rainboom, nuke, or just something funny like Pinkie Pie's line on Rarity become a crazy cat lady, or ANYTHING. Maybe one of the short fan-videos I've seen that are only a minute long showing why MLP FIM is awesome with clips and music. I've seen some pretty sweet ones.

      Overall, pretty biased, expected, and disappointing, but I feel bad for them. I'll be over here enjoying my ponies :D


      (Thank god they didn't mention anything about clopping, or people would have judged our asses so hard we'd be getting hate mail within the second xDDD )

      I still love you all, and I guess that's what really matters! BROHOOF BABY!

      Yeah..

      That was kinda stupid. Some of them were accepting, some were okay with it, and the ones that weren't were assholes about it. So.. normal enough for teenagers, I suppose.

      I'm not a violent person by nature, but such sweeping generalizations sparked a deeply hidden urge to get drunk and try to brawl the little twerps.

      The one that was all for it was kinda funny, though. And I especially liked the girl who said yes to the "Would you want to be a boy, just so that you could be a brony?" question. That was awesome.

      Yeah. I guess I can see why this made it on here, but it was kinda stupid.

      Well, as a fellow 18 year old I can tell you that there is no need to feel old really, even before 18 I clearly knew that opinion from teenagers is going to mostly be something somewhat biased. As of everything else, I agree with you 100%

      My take on MLP:FiM and its amazing fandom:

      I'm not a brony, but that's because I'm not much of a joiner. I watch MLP:FiM however, and I'm a frequent visitor to this site. And why? Because of a maturing taste for good fantasy. How could I resist? Seriously. It's not every day you see a TV cartoon that's created with such care, art, wit and heart (I rhymed!!!). And, in my opinion, THAT'S why older kids and adults love MLP:FiM so much. To me, enjoying MLP:FiM is akin to enjoying Disneyland and Harry Potter and the Wizard of Oz. It's all well-done fantasy, and well-done fantasy appeals to ALL ages.

      One of my favorite fantasy authors, C.S. Lewis, wrote this dedication in his first Narnia book, "The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe":

      "To Lucy Barfield

      My Dear Lucy,

      I wrote this story for you, but when I began it I had not realized that girls grow quicker than books. As a result you are already too old for fairy tales, and by the time it is printed and bound you will be older still. But some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again. You can then take it down from some upper shelf, dust it, and tell me what you think of it. I shall probably be too deaf to hear, and too old to understand a word you say, but I shall still be your affectionate Godfather,

      C.S. Lewis"

      In my opinion, it takes living a bit of real life to really understand and recognize good fantasy, and how much we all need it in our lives.

      Just to fix up one thing you said, MOST teens aren't a good judge of Character. I'm 15 and I quite willingly gave this show a chance. Albeit, a little late (Lesson Zero's release day was my first day :/).

      Seemed to be largely a show of stereotypes if I'm being honest. It'd probably more interesting if they brought in a few actual bronies to explain it to them, then even the haters might understand it a bit better.

      Teenagers are either too closed-minded or afraid of getting embarrassed in front of others to ever give it a try just because it looks unmanly.
      That's pretty much how most people would react upon seeing this material. But it was really funny to see one guy conclude that all bronies are in fact trolls. Yup, that explains a lot, we're all trolling each other :D

      They only showed the intro? What the hell? Even I don't like the intro. It's standard cutesy little girl's BS. Get a good episode in there and let's see how they react.

      Also, how the hell are you a teenager in 2012 and you don't have enough knowledge of the internet to know what MLP is? That doesn't even seem possible.

      I thought this was gonna be a reaction to the pilot or at least a single episode, once I realized this was just to the intro I sorta changed my expectations to what happened. Although the guy that became insta-brony kinda scared me a little, and the troll kid was hilarious because when he posts that on face book, he's probably gonna have at least one friend who actually is a brony that's gonna come out to him and he's gonna be like, "Naw it's okay I know you're just trolling" but then his friend will be like "What the hell are you talking about?"

      Anyways, I never heard of this show before, but I think they should try to do it again, but with actually showing a full episode. Obviously they can't show all the reactions over 22 minutes, but I'd bet they'd probably get some completely different ones. Besides they clearly stated that we shouldn't suggest they watch moar pony, so clearly that's what they should do.

      Oh come on y'all, think of it statistically:
      Ten subjects with little to no prior knowledge of MLP are shown just the intro sequence, and a few little tidbits of information about bronies, and this results in one full-on conversion to the herd? That is outstanding! A ten percent base communicability rate, if you will.

      Now, take into account that about three of the others are at least sympathetic to our side, and it is likely that at least one of them will give in as well; this gives a 20% conversion rate. We should be so lucky to get such a rate even under optimal conditions! For example: expose all of New York state to the show. With a population just shy of 20 million people, this would mean four million more bronies. Even taking age group into consideration - call it 10% of the population - that is still 400,000.

      I'd say that, regardless of presentation, this joke of a show was a rousing success for all things pony.

      So I see that the majority of the comments here are negative responses to this Teens React episode. I just have to say, I watched this, and I laughed. This was really funny! Maybe I was laughing at their ignorance of the show's excellence? Or maybe I was laughing at the fact that the Rainbow Dash on my screen decided to fall asleep right in front of the red hoodie guy's face when he was speaking.

      Whatever the reason, this was a funny show, and though the reaction was generally negative, it was still a nod towards bronies! If I had watched this without knowing what MLP:FiM was, I would be like "What? Older guys liking this show? Ridiculous. But what makes them like it...? I want to go check this out. See for myself."

      This Teens React episode, in the end, will just bring more people into the brony community.

      Fun fact: There was this teenager on the Bronies Facebook group who thought we were kinda creepy and weird, and wondered what the hell was up with us. So I told him why we like the show. Then a short time later he contacts me, telling me he's a brony now after watching a few episodes. So there may still be hope for these kids.

      You have to account for a fact that the sample of teens in the video is in no way stratified to reflect to composition of society and it is a relatively small sample compared to the 400,000 you talk about. Therefore that won't necessarily be true.

      It would make a good study if we were to expose about 100 or maybe even 1,000 random teenagers to a few episodes, guarantee anonymity, and ask if they would like to see more of the series. That should give us a decent rate of conversion to the herd.

Bad director and mostly ignorant teenagers except for those two teens they atleast understood it a little. At best the other ones are just stereotypical. But as they say haters gonna hate

      a lot of these kids are just plain weird... their reactions man... too subtle and barren with little understanding at all.

      Another thing to point out is how the comment system is being strictly controlled. Zero criticism is allowed. That's absolute BS what kind of person is that unfair with his own videos not being open to any criticism.

      There is so much criticism I want to play out against this so called "public opinion" program.

      Damn, I hope they showed them more than the intro song. I admit it, I HATE THAT INTRO SONG. It drips sugary girly cliche and vomits the pink rainbow stereotype of the archetypical little 5-8 year old girl mentality. Its not a good representation of the rest of the show.

      Now guys, don't get defensive! However close minded, those are very underdeveloped and knee-jerk opinions! Do NOT get judgmental and argumentative, because doing so just works against the image of the community. The worst way to help your case is to yell and decry others opinions about things on the internet.

      Considering the information they were supplied, their reactions were understandable for the most part (except for that asian hipster prick, that was seriously uncalled for and excessive).

      All the same, I love seeing responses like this. To be able to step in front of all the criticism and simple stand there, taking it in stride, and providing an un-antagonized, level-headed and reasonable response to the criticisms is a good feeling to me. It defuses the opposition, and its not like I define my existence based on MLP. I can take the jabs at the show, but its when they start judging my character based on the show that I take issue, and I would not let the insults take me down, and would tell the detractors as much: they are being shallow by judging a person or group of people based entirely on a single thing they enjoy that they did not make and only enjoy.

      THE BEST RESPONSE TO CLOSE MINDED OPINIONS AND COMMENTS IS TO REMAIN OPEN MINDED YOURSELF! DON'T TAKE A STANCE OF OPPOSITION AS THOUGH ITS A PERSONAL AFFRONT TO YOU.

      imho, of course.

      I laughed my ass off. That was hilarious.

      Still, the one kid who thought we were all trolls was... gah. His first reaction, knee-jerk as it was, was right - we just like it for the show. He reminds me a bit too much of a guy I went to school with, in face and personality. And that guy was horribly obnoxious.

      The big guy with the earrings was cool, though. We need more kids like that in the world.

      As for girlfriends... well, that's a pity. One of my oldest friends is a brony, and he and his girlfriend (now fiance) watch MLP together. If you can't stand your significant other watching a TV show that you don't like, and you break up with them over it, you weren't ready for a relationship to begin with. It's a show, it's not a big deal. Real couples understand that.

      And at least we converted one of the teens to the fandom. Let's just hope he doesn't stumble across the... er... questionable content some of us have generated.

      But that is all beside the point: that there was any support at all, much less a full conversion, is what matters. They can't stop the pony, just sayin'.

      But then I watch the first episode...

      The teens in this video can't really judge. It's just a question of their tolerance. The older black guy was tolerant, the girl with the hat and the fat one (sorry) were too. You need to see a full episode to understand why MLP:FiM is so popular.

      If you look at it in context, we just got:

      2) a girl willing to defend bronies even if she doesn't like the show

      3) a cool dude that might never take another look at the show, but is open-minded enough to still respect and understand bronies

      When you think about it, those kids saw the show out of context. They saw the girly opening, and a few of our low-grade images from the early days of the fandom.

      If they'd seen some clips from good episodes (FLUTTERSHY AND THE BEAR) they might have reacted differently. Hell, I know they would have.

      Those reactions are pretty understandable if you are only shown the intro and none of the episodes or community work. I thought they were just using the intro to set them up and then were going to bring in Fluttershy killing the bear. But no, just an incredibly obvious hatchet job.

      I'd echo the doubts about how teenagers can be the that ignorant of the internet to not know what MLP is, but I've met people who've only vaguely heard of Star Wars, and I was visiting a high school class recently where nobody had ever heard of "Yo dawg I heard you like x" memes.

      This brings back some memories, since I completely understand what it's like to have reacted in a similar way to the show when I first heard about its popularity.
      If all you're given is the opening to view, then of course you're not going to understand why the show is popular among male audiences (let alone take a shine to it yourself). I'd have liked to see them display a clip of the show instead and get a reaction. Something like say Pinkie Pie losing her mind (which is the clip I always show when introducing the series). That offers a little more accurate image of the gags which make the show such a sleeper hit.
      That said, "Teens React" isn't meant to be serious; just amusing.

      Well, there's a reason this series is "Teens React" and not "Grown Adults React". You're naturally going to get stronger, more over-the-top reactions to things from a group of people at the point in their lives when they're most desperate to appear manly/mature/cool than you would from a bunch of adults. That one kid whose response was "It's not my thing, but it's fine for people to like it, I guess"? Totally not what this series is about. It's also the reason they showed the kids the opening theme only: the name of the game is inspiring the most extreme reactions possible.

      I don't blame them for reacting the way they did. They're teenagers, and I know that when I was a teenager I was dumb, judgmental and desperate not to stand out too much. Not that I'm tarring all teenagers with this brush, but it is the time of your life when this behavior is most understandable.

      If you make it to your mid twenties and you're still acting like this? Then you have a problem.

      Don't worry cause you know most of them went home to start watching on YouTube. Having to sit thru my sister watchin MLP G1 back in the day to get to my shows, of course i was critical about all of it for the past 20+ years. Even when FIM came up last year, i cared to know nothing about it

      "Damn this MLP thing wont it die already"

      Surfin channels this past summer, i caught a glimpse of this Pink pony throttling the living daylights out of a rubber chicken. That raised an eyebrow but i still didn't care to watch. Some how within the next week, it was this "Pinkie Pie" that keep popping up as i channel surfed. And i was finding all these pony sigs and avatar icons in forum post all thru the net. It was "Bridle Gossip" that i decided to see what this was all about. A few more eps and all the art and memes on the net, and now ive got series recording on U verse.


      When i comes to fandom, "Sonic Soldier" was the only title i carried over the past 20 years and for me to hold anything to the high regards i give Sonic is no ez feat; for being such an intelligently produced and written show with friendship morale's and doesn't resort to the common lowbrow slapstick that plagues most cartoons these days, FIM is up there on the pedestal with em now.

Most of the Obama-supporting teens I've run across, before Pony even came to be, were more judgmental, narrow-minded, and illogical than any number of right-wing fundies I've also battled.

      Fact: Except for the geeks and nerds, teens are stupid. It's why we don't let them vote. They actually enjoy things like "Twilight" and Justin Bieber. That alone is all the proof needed to demonstrate the lack of cerebral activity.

      Why does anyone even listen to or care what teenagers think, anyway? I could not possibly give fewer fucks about these losers' opinions if I tried. There's a reason I hated middle and high school - a sizeable percentage of teenagers are self-centered, vindictive, judgmental and obnoxious, to varying degrees. Or, if you prefer the Star Wars interpretation, they are weak-minded. They either think they know everything or are too easily influenced by peer pressure, rendering them incapable of considering anything objectively, and they likewise feel no guilt in viciously tearing other people down. Hence, the general jerkery in this video, particularly by several of the guys. It's honestly a miracle that roughly half of teenagers aren't strangled to death by their parents before they reach adulthood.

      Those reactions are really interesting because they are teens. MlP was designed for children and is good enough to entertain adults. Teens are mostly children trying to prove to the world, and to themselves, that they are grown up.

      Being a teenager is not only a matter of years, there's a big part of mindset, how you think and consider the world around you, and I'm pretty confident a lot of bronies were teens who grew up when they discovered MlP.

      It's normal that most of them can't believe it and see that as shameful, because they are teens. I can only hope they will grow up, with oe without MlP :)

    117. MattatattaJanuary 15, 2012 at 2:30 PM

      Eh.. Kids react is cool (small children give the BEST answers), but Teens React is like a bad spinoff TV show.

      Plus, letting them watch ONLY the intro? The intro is not an accurate representation of the entire show, so judging by intro alone is foalish (Bridle Gossip, anypony?) Why didn't they choose the climatic scene from "Sonic Rainboom" or the FlutterPsycho scene from "Best Night Ever"? What about scenes from "Dragonshy", "Lesson Zero", or even "Party of One"?

      It seems to me that the people who run this wanted to influence the teens' opinions by omitting the things that the majority of us love about the show. It was the show that made me a brony, not the theme tune (in fact, it took me until the end of S1 to finally like the intro).

      Then they asked questions relating to the fanbase such as ponibooru. Bear in mine that these teens had only seen captioned images, and so it becoms heaily implied that ponibooru is just an image center for macros. If they're going to dig up macros, and are internet savvy enough to know of ponibooru, then they could've found some fan art to show the teens too. But they didn't, and the teen's reactions are the result.

      That being said, I can't stay angry at the teenagers themselves (though a couple of them were real douches) because they were reacting through honesty. What they had seen was a theme song about magical, talking ponies experiencing friendship being played to clips of cute cartoon characters. They didn't have the luxury of "meeting" these ponies, or witnessing some of the community's favourite scenes from the show. All they got was as little information as possible, so I can't say I blame them for reacting the way they did.

      That said, that girl with the fedora hat, and the bloke who seemed really interested in the sow get bonus points for getting past the 'shock factor' and seeing the harmlessness in watching the show. An honourable mention also goes to the black guy who, while not keen on the idea of this fanbase existing, said that he "wasn't gonna hate", that takes some effort.

      There is a phrase I like to use in situations like these: "to each their own."

      Though, admittedly I was foolishly trying to turn a blind eye to the stuff during its first year; only in late 2011 (partially because my brother told me about it) did I actually pay attention to the show itself; soon afterwards, two of my best friends (both 20s, both grad students like myself) got into it, which affirmed my decision.

      Strangely, though, it struck at around the same time as I started getting interested in the more esoteric fields, particularly tarot divination. It made me gain my own unique perspective on the show; now my friends and I are discussing things like the correspondences between the Major Arcana and the Elements of Harmony, possible zodiac analogs in the Equestrian night sky, comparisons between the number of chakras a pony has (6, as opposed to our 7), and even the differences between aura distributions of pegasi, unicorns, and earth ponies.

      these teens are very child like themselves. Cartoons are aimed at kids, but tend to have content that adults can like two, just because someone likes my little pony does not make them any less tough than any other man. We are not trolls we are a group of people who identify with a show like how trekies identify with star trex and how furries identify with animals, liking something and posting pictures and fan content relating to it does not mean your are a troll. well theres my 2 cents on this.

      Like I said; small children give the best answers

      I remember watching some videos from Kids React, they did Nyan Cat and Double Rainbow Guy (not the song). The kids were hilarious with their answers.

      Small children can look upon almost anything and give a brutally honest opinion without batting an eyelid at what happen as a result.

      In context of FiM, small shildren would seem a bit biased because of the show's target audience. But then again, hearing reactions from boys about the show, and reactions from all of the children upon learning that quite a lot of adults find this to be their favourite show would be interesting.

      Look I'm understand hating bronies for trolling or something but this stereotyping is not okay.

      What's interesting to me about bronie hate is that if I (27 year old male) wore a sponge bob shirt and had sponge bob stuff people would just be like "Yup, that stoner kid really likes sponge bob" But as soon as I wear pony stuff and pink there is a problem.

      "It's kind of a disgrace to us (men), it's like a slap in the face"

      "You shouldn't be considered a guy"

      This is really damaging to not just to bronies but to all genders and to gender equality as a whole. This kind of stereotyping reenforces gender roles and impedes equality. These male stereotypes being reinforced also effect women's rights as a masculine stereotype assumes the opposite isn't true which is just the nature of all stereotypes.

      Gender stereotyping is damaging and we need to be aware that this knee jerk reaction to guys not fitting the masculine stereotype is a problem.

      It's sad, yes. But I for one am not gonna let the bastards grind me down and am instead going to be happy with the things I enjoy. It'll be like a crusade against the unjustified hate within the generation just because someone doesn't fit the mould.

      When I'm older, I'll tell my nephews and nieces about this (I don't plan on having children, my family is huge already, grandchildren from all six children will probably be the end of my parents), and hopefully that'll help the next generation a little bit to not suck.

      What was the point of even making this if they didn't even bother showing them a full episode?Of course if all you see is the opening you're going to think "This mess is for little girls"(I'm a female brony and even I thought that when I first saw the opening).

      They also didn't bother to tell them why the show is so popular and who made the show.Also that kid in the red hoodie that thinks bronies are trolls is being a troll himself.He's judging an entire group of people that he knows almost nothing about.They also failed to tell them that they're female bronies too.

      This was a terrible report or whatever you want to call it.Wasting their time on a bunch of teenagers who think they're cool by saying that bronies are not real men.Well guess what,I'd rather be with a guy who's not afraid to what a girls show if he thinks it's a good show than with someone who makes fun of people they don't know just because they like a cartoon.Some of those kids were being pretty reasonable though(like the girl who wanted to be a brony,the guy who thought it was cool and the tall African American guy).

      I don't know why people see bronies as such a taboo just because it's guys liking a girl's show.It's ok for girls to like guy shows but not the other way around?The FIM fandom is no different from any other fandom.

      I don't hold all that much against the neighsayers here as I'm pretty sure I'd be among the people wondering what the deal was if I was shown only the intro with no further idea into it given my previous hatred of the MLP franchise (and I still do find the intro music to be ever so embarrassing that I just usually skip it). Though if I was told of the huge male following, I'd at least be interested in knowing where this came from and would at the very least take a look at some of the episodes to make up my own mind before dismissing fans as being non-men with no life.

      And yes, I indeed was a big skeptic not ever intending to give the light of day to a MLP series had it not been for some people I knew prompting me to investigate FiM in the first place. Without them I probably still wouldn't have watched a single episode of it on my own, and would continue to hold a poor opinion on any franchise entry, even FiM, just based on MLP's history and notoriety as a shallow girls' alternative toy commercial to Transformers.
