This episode was the biggest middle finger to the fandom and I love it

*episode written by M.A Larson* Twilight: "Here buy my book"

Oh man you guys were laughing so hard you missed the one pony who yelled "ARE APPLEJACK AND PINKIE RELATED OR WHAT!?!" XD

When Twilight told Starlight "ponies are missing the point of the book" My brain translated it to " It seems like everyone is missing the friendship part of the friendship is magic series " . It made me self reflect and reevaluate myself as a member of this fandom. If this was the goal of the episode, then they were very successful .

I'm upset they missed "ARE PINKIE PIE AND APPLEJACK RELATED OR WHAT" because that reaction would have been hilarious

Starlight has kinda become the intermediary between us and the show almost serving as a neutral representation of a fan character. You could almost call her a secondary protagonist. I actually really like her.

Glad to see something Bronies-React-esque materialize with this episode, it was a good one and a fantastic one to have released during BronyCon

You guys talked over the 2 best parts. When Rarity shouts, "My emotions darling, STRESS COUTOUR!" and that one guy who screams, "ARE APPLEJACK AND PINKIEPIE RELATED OR NOT!"

lol, I thought near the end when they said that "somebody's at the door", M.A. Larson suddenly pops up and says hi to the camera

Jessie being two seasons behind shook me to my core.

This was one of the most fun things we did at the convention. I'm glad this episode came out then, lol.

Nowacking being extremely behind and reacting to Starlight made my day XDD!!

15:27 JESSI STILL GETS ME WITH THAT ONE xD I CANT I LITERALLY CANT haahhahahhahaa

For anyone wondering, this is NOT the react that's "been in the works", but instead something we decided to do last minute while at Bronycon. With Bronycon Vlogs coming to their conclusion, that react's editing will be in full swing. Coming soon!

21:18 RD: “They say I’m a big shot, that my ego’s the size of a whale” Nowacking: “And they’re right” THAT TIMING WAS IMPECCABLE OMG I LOVE JESSE

jessi not knowing about starlight, oh wow.

I just realized the book just exposed Daring Do's existence as a real person to the public

They're not OC's, they're g3 ponies.

I love the recurring theme of big musical numbers ending in disaster or not doing anything ,this episode had "were not flawless" and it did nothing , and all bottled up had a song that turned counterproductive to what the mane six was doing

"Twilight was better before she got wings" fandom -explosions everywhere-

"Are Pinkie Pie and Applejack related or what!?" Is my favorite part of the episode!

This episode makes me so happy. M.A. Larson's back The meta Starlight being heavily included in a mane 6 ep All of the hilarious faces My new favorite song of the show The fact that it came out during Bronycon, which could NOT have been coincidental And now this HILARIOUS live react Stuff like this is why I LOVE this show, and this fandom. Also, as a side note, when I saw that Larson wrote this episode, I immediately assumed Starlight was getting her wings 😐

Gotta love Nowack's reaction to Starlight, she really missed a lot of stuff here.

This episode was such a jab at us and I love it for that.

the two filllies are season 3 ponies that were rehashed. Toola Roola and Coconut Cream :3 and this was VERY well done for you guys XD Much different than usual :3

"Twilight was better before she got wings!!" This line proves that this episode is the brony fandom in a nutshell.

you guys missed 70% of the episode with these outbursts

The thing I love about this episode is that, where Episode 100 was celebrating the fandom, this one was kind of tearing us down. So many concerns that the fandom have raised were brought up in this one ("Twilight was better before she got wings!", "Why does Fluttershy keep learning the same lesson over and over?". etc.) and we were thoroughly poked fun at for seeming to miss the point of the show, which is to be entertaining and teach lessons about friendship (so many bronies do seem to have missed the "friendship" part of the show). I'd heard that Mitch didn't *exactly* write this one, just had the idea for it and they decided to credit him anyway, but you can definitely feel that it's one of his episodes (with the overtones of "Buy my book" and the aforementioned Twilight line). The fact that he's penned such fandom-centric episodes that are complete polar opposites of each other just tickles me to no end as a fan of his work. The episode coming out during BronyCon could *not* have been a coincidence. This was a lot of fun to watch and I hope you guys do more videos like this at future cons! Fun fact: watching this video marks the fifth time I'm watching this episode, and I believe the only episode I've watched more times is The Return of Harmony (which remains my all-time favorite).

15:27 When you miss 2 seasons of My Little Pony.

12:29 ACRacebest face when he realizes the episode is about HIM. 😄

Personal favorite reactions: 11:48, 15:26 and 20:07.

Jessie should catch up on the show

Yay you're awesome ACRACEBEST keep it up with good work Brony friend

15:35 JAXBLADES laugh OMFG 😂😂😂😂😂

NOWAKING I LOVE YOUR HAIR

Jessi to the camera: "Hi" Me: *Waves* "Hi Jessie... why am I talking to the computer?" Also, when everyone else is freaking out over the "Twilight was better without wings" quote, Jessi is just holding her head in complete shock. Not the only memorable time in the react, just the one that struck me the most. I actually like seeing our guys' blind reacts. The Bronies React's are nice, but the reason I enjoy reacts as much as reviews is its nice to see that initial reaction to the episode as well, not a scripted react. Hope you do more of this, and its not just a one time things!

Im glad you reacted to this ! This episode shows how the Brony fandom always complains and the open end is showing that the Bronys still complain to this day. The two fillies show the supposed audience: kids. And they also represent the positive Impact

“That my ego is the size of a whale” “And they’re right!” I LOVE!!

18:00-18:10 Ahhhh!! You guys missed the best line of the episode! "MY EMOTIONS!! STRESS COUTURE!" Edit: I really wanted to see how they would react to that line is all I meant about it. I fell on the floor laughing when I first heard it.

"Yes you do! Nobody recognises your voice." *to Nowicking* Bahahahaha My gosh, best quote!!

20:07 I _still_ can't believe they went there! XD

"Twilight was better before she got wings!!" BEST LINE IN THE WHOLE DAMNED SHOW LMAO😂😂😂

Nowacking looks cute with short hair

In this episode of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, The Mane 6 are the Voice Actresses, and all the background ponies are Bronies.

This is the greatest slap to the fandom face ever. Also the pony at 20:20 asked my biggest question of the entire series.

Jessi comparing Starlight Glimmer to Mr. Poopybutthole... lmao

A great Mane 6 episode, reminds me of the good old days. This show is amazing, so glad I joined the fandom so many years ago look at it now.

For most of it they were screaming, then 'Flawless' came on and all their eyes were drawn to the screen as if it was the most interesting thing they've ever seen in their life.

That was GOLD !

It seems like I was the only Brony who didn't react to the episode at Bronycon. It would have been cool to do a reaction video to the episode at Bronycon. I guess there is always next year.

Those two fillies are actually G3 characters!

5:33 oh member wings. Oh oh member equality. Member

"im upsetty i could not find my sphagetti"

Fast-forward to the Season 7 Finale where Starlight's sister, Blacklight Blink, tears open the fabric of reality only to find out that they have awoken an even stronger beast than they ever imagined... the FANDOM!! Is this gonna be a yearly thing now? I'd like that.

At the part with Rainbow's fans, I thought someone would point out that if the kids knew she met Daring Do, then they knew the secret of A.K. Yearling being the real Daring Do.

I will have mad respect for hasbro to actually talk about the worst part of the fandom

I still cant believe Larson recreated the show and the fandom WITHIN the show. Truly brilliant

AC dodging the obvious message of this episode so hard in this video. lol.

M.A. Larson is trolling from beyond the grave.

21:18 Jessi was so perfectly on point with that comeback!

6:56 By my book XD

It's been a couple years since I was last into this show. Surprised yet pleased to see it still going on and the fandom strong

Fun fact: Tula Rula and Coconut Cream are actually legit characters from Generation 3

*_Nowacking Never Appeared Sensed BRONYS REACT: The Friendship Games_*

20:10 Bronys react meme. Make it a thing.

Prepare yourselfs for the most meta and realistic episode of the series

I think Nowacking being so behind on Starlight was probably the best part of the reaction

It would be cool to see an official "Bronies React" for this episode and "The Perfect Pear". S7E13 finally gave us backstory on them, still wish we would have seen them with their kids. Then of course the Meta in this episode. I really love when they do that but I just don't interact much within the fandom. I was that 1 Fluttershy fan that tiptoed away.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE THEY DOING?!?" they scream, over the exact point where the episode explains what the hell they're doing. I suddenly remember why I despise live reaction videos. If I wanna lazer-focus on a single joke for about 30 seconds, I pause the video so I don't miss anything critical.

( Single tear rolls down the cheek ) Larson, you beautiful son of cactus.

I'd have given an arm and a leg to have been able to join them. Great live react. Stoked for the next few BRs!

META LEVELS AT MAXIMUM CAPACITY!!!!

9:07 "Excuse me, Twilight. I need to break some legs." 12:01 Wow, Starlight's turning into the main six's bulldog. Scary and adorable.

This was the PERFECT episodes for the Bronies to React to ;)

The real reason Mitch wrote this episode ... "STOP WALKING UP TO ME AT CONS AND ASKING TO MY SIGNATURE.." YA MITCH, we hear ya

Okay so, this morning I was watching the season 4 finale react (randomly, I already watched all of them, so I just decided to re-watch one of them), and I was thinking how awesome it would be for you guys to make a reaction to this episode. And I came home just now and saw this. So I decided to say that in the comments because no one else would get how amazing it is. By the way, tomorrow's my birthday, so I'll consider this an early birthday present. Thank you so much for making this!😊

This was great to see, unedited, unscripted reactions with all of you together. You guys interact with each other so well that even though I've seen the episode before watching this I still laughed along with you!

It was hilarious that this episode aired during bronycon.

Once again the representation of the fandom was much tamer than they could have made it.

"I need a hundred blankets. And I need them now!" Crap, are they birthing the next generation of Apples or what?!

Bro, do you even pony? They started writing their friendship journal during season 4.

I love how JaxBlade was just leaning back and casually watches until the meta really kicks in.

Seriously, the smile of nowacking during the whole song has to be one of the most genuine smiles I've ever seen.

Aww, and I was inches away from kicking away my shyness and asking ACRacebest if I could be the next Brony on Bronies React. That could've been me in Hirosashi's spot.

Toola Roola is a g1+ character, appearing in every gen. I remember her from when I was younger

"I only wish they'd left RARITY out!" --- RarityDash :flips table angrily:

Ha this episode hooked the brony fandom by the balls and I loved it!

17:22 Starlight x Twilight ship confirmed, a few seconds later the fans bang at the door.

20:07 "Twilight was better before she had wings." Old pony granny smith re-colour, is automatically best pony for whole season 7

Oh my gosh. I've been pretty stressed lately with school rn, but you guys totally made my day!

All the loud screams and try to be quick whips literally stopped them from hearing the whole point of that episode, GGs

The Meta Reaction to The Meta Episode. Neat!

"They say I'm a big shot, and my ego's the size of a whale!" Jessie: And they're right! _I WAS _*_CRYING_*

"but she was a villain!" "she still is" oh my god I'm dying

20:07 THE SHOW IS BECOMING SELF AWARE

"those are definitely OCs that got in the show" Nope. They are both G3 pones. Toola was a personal favorite of mine growing up :)

This was better than your usual format of doing reactions. Your original format is good and gives space for more guests and the edition makes it work. But this is in my humble opinion is better, the reactions and your actions are now genuine and that make it better.

i love how they bring in the old generations characters and kid's ocs sometimes

This season has had some serious gems for episodes! Loved this live reaction! Lol

FYI M.A Larson hated this episode. He had a completely different idea for this episode. Hasbro made him write this episode the way it is
