This post is brought to you by the best Dash face ever.
I know we've posted reaction videos before, and I know that most of them have gotten quite stale by this point (which is exactly what I was thinking when Seth told me to watch this), but this one is quite cut down and entertaining. If nothing else, I'd say watch it for the accents and the guy's sweet RSS feed logo pillow. Seriously, I want that. Also, his pants. I want his pants. Not sexually, they're just neat-looking.
Video after the break.

ReplyDeleteHot girls? Ponies make not only fan fiction lesbian, but real women.
ReplyDeleteKidding.
This is cool, love his voice actually. Pants ARE cool too. Very cool.
Oh Alex you beautiful soul.
ReplyDeleteIs that the lady who does the KYM videos?
ReplyDeleteLol wow
ReplyDeleteI have to admit, I think more people would watch it if they were introduced by women like that. Just sayin'.
ReplyDeleteDont worry. I hated Pinkie Pie for the first 15 episodes of so, but during the last 10 episodes and after reading fanfics, she's now my second favorite pony and by the end of season 2 I think she's going to earn the top spot. Basically, I know it sounds really strange now, but you'll end up liking her by the end of the series.
ReplyDeleteAh, Nerimon. I never thought HE of all guys would be talked into watching ponies, haha. Cannot tell you how much happy I had when I spotted this in my subscriptions list :D
ReplyDelete@Erroneous: Yes. It's Kristina Horner also known as italktosnakes. From what I've seen on twitter she's trying to get many of her YouTube friends into My Little Pony.
ReplyDeleteHe wants a little Fluttershy action figure. How cute
ReplyDeleteYou're right. Those pants are awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt's Nerimon! (Chameleon Circuit FTW)
ReplyDeleteOMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSH
He's totally a brony. I mean come on, his view and attitude changed as soon as NMM got the upper hand. Welcome to the herd.
ReplyDelete*5 seconds into the video*
ReplyDeleteWTF? whinny the poo?
I have nothing against Brits, but I can take poohfags seriously.
It's like watching the process of going from "meh" to "yay~" in one video, but with the plus of a British accent!
ReplyDeleteOh, hey. It's the guy who did the Twilight readings. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteEverybody hates Pinkie Pie the first time.
"I just wanna sleep with her so she'll be quiet."
ReplyDeleteBest Pinkie Pie related comment ever.
FLUTTERSCOTCH
ReplyDeleteMake it happen, Internet!
Alex Day, nice!
ReplyDelete>hoping he does a song about ponies
None can resist the pull of the pony!
ReplyDeleteSomepony needs to make a Neripony...
ReplyDeleteThat guy's pants!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThey are fashionably epic.
Wow, completely turned after only the pilot, that's pretty amazing. I wasn't really turned until episode four and didn't consider buying the merchandise until episode 10.
ReplyDelete"Are they naked?"
ReplyDeleteI LOL'D FOR LIKE A MINUTE!
What the hay... he didn't ask for episode 3?
ReplyDelete@David
Cross and Arrow is already pretty close ;)
Isn't she one of the scientists that do the KnowYourMeme.com episodes?
ReplyDeleteAh... and another brony joins the hoard!
ReplyDeleteCommunity's the best... but everypony here already knows that, surely?
ReplyDeleteI agree with him.
ReplyDeleteWhy can't you just LIKE something and not be labeled something as silly as a "Brony?"
Oh my god, Alex Day? I fucking love his 117% Percent Complete songs. I can't wait to watch this! (Can't now, in TF2 :p)
ReplyDeleteI totally claim sending this in...
ReplyDeletewelcome to the herd
ReplyDeleteWhat's so awesome about our accents?
ReplyDelete@jrk08004
ReplyDeleteyou DO know "professor of internet sociology" is not a valid degree, right?

ReplyDelete* worships *
Ash Ketchum laptop. Awesome.
ReplyDeleteAlex has done it...
ReplyDeleteTom, your turn.
Maybe it's because this is my first reaction video I've seen, but that was magical.
ReplyDelete"Are you a brony yet?"
ReplyDelete"Can't you like something without it being a thing?"
Clever, clever man. Loved the reaction in general.
I remember him from "Alex reads Twilight", that was great too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2L253VLwH3w
The Herd continues to grow...
ReplyDeleteHa, that was pretty interesting to see his opinion change over the course of it. Not a diehard fan, but still. Then again, I was unaware there were reaction videos for FiM.
ReplyDelete@pasteur Damn right. Let's all watch more Community.
"Why can't you just like something without it being a big deal?"
ReplyDeleteHe clearly hasn't seen the rest of the season yet. :D
And, this is what I'm talking about. People really don't understand what they're missing out on. If one takes the time to watch the cartoon, suddenly a lot of things make sense! :D
ReplyDeleteThe herd is UNSTOPPABLE! Especially with the aid of pretty introducers ^^
ReplyDelete@Pierre Chanliau
ReplyDeleteFrom a personal perspective, I've always liked this cartoon from the start. I watched it back when it first started airing in October of last year. The cartoon is awesome and all, but I didn't consider myself a "brony" until February of this year.
I firmly place the blame on the awesome, awesome community for that one. That, and "Sonic Rainboom". There was absolutely no going back after that episode.
I need a Fluttershy to keep me company too ^^
ReplyDeleteSince I mentioned Kristina tweeting about getting other YouTubers into MLP I figured I'd show you guys the very tweet I meant.
ReplyDeletehttp://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e373/Gaiash/Kristina.png
By the way somepony wanted a Nerimon pony?
http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e373/Gaiash/mylittleadmirals_small.png
Also includes charlieissocoollike, Tom Milsom and Eddplant.
Ooh,I love Chameleon Circuitt...
ReplyDeleteHope he does a pony song. :D
Ok where can you obtain the pants?
ReplyDeleteYes one day all will be a part of the herd.
ReplyDeletepretty lulzy
ReplyDeleteshe better show him moar
Where in England is he from? I can't pinpoint exactly? somewhere down south probably.
ReplyDeleteAlso you know what pants mean in England dont you?
ReplyDeleteHOLY SHIT!
ReplyDeleteThat's Christina from ALL CAPS!
Ponies are mainstream now...

Nerimowned....
ReplyDeleteLol, I was hooked when I watched the Double Rainbow Dash youtube vid. I was like "Thats a bad-ass pony.. wtf show am I not watching that has ponies this bad-ass? And then I watched every episode in teh course of 2 days... No work was done during those 2 days.
ReplyDeleteI too want those pants. Those are epic pants on the level of Travis Touchdown Firefly pants and the Crash Star jacket.
ReplyDeleteXD anyway, this was fun. Maybe I should attempt to get my friend into a reaction video. Or my brother, that would be hilarious!
BritBronies! Woot
ReplyDeleteWatch first couple of episodes, become brony in 10 seconds flat.
ReplyDelete@Pierre Chanliau
ReplyDeleteAs someone who loves the community around the show almost as much as he loves the show itself, I don't personally have a problem with being called a brony. I did at one point, but in retrospect I'm glad we came up with our own nickname for ourselves before someone outside the fandom made one to mock us and we just took it on to mock them right back.
@frenchie
ReplyDeleteSomeone already made an entire Son of Admirals ponies. I'd find it but I can't be bothered.
I feel as though I'm the only person who liked pinkie pie from the start lol
ReplyDelete@Troopzor
ReplyDeleteshe achieved best pony status for me by episode 5
@Areshortpaw
ReplyDeleteMoar like 45 minutes flat, lol
@Pierre Chanliau
ReplyDeleteBecause the definition of "Brony" is someone who likes my little pony basically. It's not adding a new label, it's just simplifying "a person that likes MLP".
@Troopzor
ReplyDeleteYou are not alone...
That that splotch(whatever he said) on their ass lolz.
ReplyDeleteI didn't realize it was Alex until I saw this in my subscriptions XD
ReplyDeleteJeez, I do love that Dash face sooooo much. /)^3^(\
ReplyDeleteHaha, some of his reactions and comments were pretty darn funny. I was getting excited seeing him getting excited.
This comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteHe needs to get some Pocket Ponies.
ReplyDeleteSomeone send him a link to the dude's DA account.
Also, a lot of people talk like that in Britain.
Most of my friends included.
Bronies, we must welcome our newest comrade! As Pinkie Pie would say, "This calls for a PARTY!"
ReplyDelete> " What do those patches on their arse mean?"
I lul'd.
Twilight Sparkle is best pony. Always. Pinkie Pie is Not best pony only because she's in her own category of ponydom that transcends "best pony".
ReplyDelete> " I feel like I should sleep with her just to get her to shut up." XD
If that chick in the post could back me up, most of my friends would already be bronies.
ReplyDeleteAlso, nice pants.
Holy sh*t, Alex Day? I thought he sounded familiar. WELL. Great work, british lady! Another semi-famous person in the herd!
ReplyDeleteYesss, do it, Mrs. Nerimon, make Nerimon a Brony ...
ReplyDeleteCharlieisSoCoolLike can be the ponies' badger friend.
And you'll all make an epic album.
> Also, his pants. I want his pants.
ReplyDeleteSilly Cereal, you don't want his underwear. Trousers ftw.
"they can keep me company while i work" dawwww that cracked me up and i love it!
ReplyDeleteAlso you can make your own pants like that just buy a black pair and break out some bleach
@alexrockclimber
ReplyDeleteI'd say he's from Essex, but not too far from London.
"Her name's Twilight?"
"Twilight Sparkle."
"I'm not sure how I feel about that."
= pretty much my exact reaction when I first heard her name.
@Gaiash
ReplyDeleteThank you! ^^
Welcome to the herd.
ReplyDeleteI used to find Pinkie annoying too, and Rarity too pretentious. Now, I'd say Applejack's still my favourite, followed by Dash, but the others, I like 'em all. :P
ReplyDeleteIt's so easy to convert people if you can just convince them to watch the show.
ReplyDelete@frenchie A long while ago someone made the Sons of Admirals as ponies (Alex included): http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/38/mylittleadmirals.png/
ReplyDeleteI absolutely must show this to my anti-brony friend.
ReplyDeleteSo this is what ol' Alex has been up to.
ReplyDeleteEverypony approves.
@SkaFox64 Kristina isn't British. She's from America. She was just visiting the UK recently and decided to get a few of her friends over there to watch the show.
ReplyDeleteI was pretty neutral to all of them, then I started finding Rarity to be my favourite, and I guess watching Pinkie Pie's early antics after starting another marathon of the first season makes her my second favourite, Fluttershy and her poison joke voice along with going batshit crazy in BNE makes her my third favourite, and then Big Mac is awesome cause he's the only relatively often occuring guy pony, and he's a badass red, not some maroon purple or some crap.
ReplyDeleteA scene by scene guide to our collective decent into pony madness.
ReplyDeleteI did love how his face went when he heard Twilight's name (One of the other things he has done is read Twilight by chapter. Once you know this, you can understand his surprise).
An thats how a new brony is born
ReplyDeleteHaha this was cool :)
ReplyDeleteThat poor bastard...welcome to the heard
ReplyDeleteSaw "British Man" in the title, and thought lol. Then I saw it was Alex Day and went :O That dude is awesome, and now he watches ponies. If he did a MLP song that would be awesome, one could only hope. :D
ReplyDelete>Fucking badass pony
ReplyDeletewelcome to the New Lunar Republic my friend
That was so awesome! I love how about half way through the 2nd part he was started getting really into it.
ReplyDeleterofl He has the Flutterbug.
Also, "Pinkie Pie is really annoying. I want to just, like, sleep with her so she'll be quiet."
1st statement: BLASPHEMY
2nd statement: INORITE?!
I had no idea there were other FiM reaction videos. But this was a pretty good one :)
ReplyDeleteI know it's been said before, but hey that's the girl from Know Your Meme!
ReplyDeleteAlso, seems like he's slowly turning into a brony.
Stil on the stage of I like the show, but I'm not becoming a brony! ~3 episodes later This is SO AWESOME /)^3^(\
And thats how Equestria was made!
ReplyDeleteTwilight is obviously an 8!
ReplyDeleteFlutterscotch? sounds delicious XD
ReplyDeleteSince when was that Dashface better than /)^3^(\?
ReplyDeleteSo that what brony transformation look's like.
ReplyDeletei am a fan of nerimon
ReplyDeletethis made me happy
I laughed so hard when he said he wants to sleep with Pinkie Pie so she shall be quiet.
ReplyDeleteThis video is hilariously awesome, and shows how easy and quick it is for someone to at least see why other people really like this show.
If I had money, I'd send him a Fluttershy to keep him company. Think of it as a "well done for giving it try and making me smile in the process, have a cookie" type of gift.
Please, sleeping with Pinkie pie would just make her louder... if you survive, that is.
ReplyDeleteFirst impression: "the pink one kinda annoys me"
ReplyDeleteEpisode 25: "Omg. want to hug her!"
And then she was my favorite. (Honestly, watching any Pinkie antics after ep25 puts most everything in a different light.)
Everypony starts falling for Fluttermoe.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm so jelly for his RSS pillow.
I want to watch this story progress. He seems pretty open minded about this, I WISH TO SEE THE EVOLUTION OF A BRONY FROM THE OUTSIDE
ReplyDelete@Sketchy Sounds
ReplyDeleteHa! Seconded. Everypony wants to sleep with Pinkie Pie, to shut her up... I guess we know what METHOD he's thinking about anyhow... "Oh, oh, oh! Are we gonna party? What are we gonna do now? wow! Are we goughhh... om nom nom nom.
But it's OK. Everypony loves Pinkie Pie! It's just, sometimes you need a moment of silence... Sweet, hot, sweaty silence.
--Looks down in shame for going there--
That is funny. And his pants would make even Lyra jealous (or would any pants make her jealous).
ReplyDelete@alexrockclimber
ReplyDeleteHe does have fantastic trousers. If I were to hazard a guess, I'd say he is from the South-East of England.
Fluttershy "action figures" FTW!
"Flutter...scotch..."
ReplyDeleteLOL! That was awesome. Pretty much my same reaction exactly.
Yay, Nerimon. I actually saw this yesterday, cause I'm subbed to him. Got so excited when I found this in my sub box. :)
