When you start watching just to see what the fuss is about, fully intending to not get pulled into it: "I've made a huge mistake".

[–]beware_of_squirrels 6 points7 points ago

That's how it happened for me as well. Told my bf that I like the show and all he said was "Lame!" Went better than expected lol.

Story of my life, pal... story of my life.

[–]AdrianBrony 3 points4 points ago

I still remember the very first thing I said on that thread in /b/ after watching episode 1.

"... FUCK!"

[–]Bassau 1 point2 points ago

I can relate to that

[–]arcticjuniper 14 points15 points ago

I was just a sweet innocent reddit lurker and humble software dev. Then I started seeing all these pony posts and references all over the internets. So one day, I got curious and had to see what all of the fuss was about, so I queued up some episodes....

I remember the exact moment my heart melted and I was sold.

[–]Hatweed[S] 10 points11 points ago

Yeah... Fluttershy will do that to you.

[–]arcticjuniper 7 points8 points ago

[–]Damnit_Take_This_One 2 points3 points ago

I have the exact same story, except it was animated .gifs, not pony posts, that got me.

[–]arcticjuniper 1 point2 points ago

So many good gifs...AMIRITE

You combined two of my favorite things. I like you.

[–]Hatweed[S] 5 points6 points ago

I was telling a friend about this meme yesterday and this popped in my head when we were talking about ponies... I couldn't resist a funny idea.

[–]GhastDagger 5 points6 points ago

This is 100% accurate for me...

[–]eaturbrainz 2 points3 points ago

You are not entitled to wear shades that cool. Those are almost the Shades of Infinite Manliness. I demand you relinquish them immediately.

[–]Hatweed[S] 5 points6 points ago

I think Michael Bluth has done more than enough to earn the right to wear the shades.

[–]eaturbrainz 2 points3 points ago

I certainly didn't see him cause a spontaneous volcanic eruption through sheer willpower.

[–]Hatweed[S] 4 points5 points ago

No, but he does hang around with Tobias Funke.

[–]eaturbrainz 1 point2 points ago

Now here is Rainbow Smash, a truly worthy bearer of the Shades of Infinite Manliness.

[–]eaturbrainz -2 points-1 points ago

He appears to be the "straight man" on his show. No good. I'm simply not seeing the preposterous deeds of hot-bloodedness necessary to qualify for the Shades. I'm giving them to Hotblooded Pinkie Pie instead.

[–]Grammar_Nazi009 7 points8 points ago

That... That was horrendous.

[–]DracoAzule 1 point2 points ago

I warned you.

[–]Grammar_Nazi009 0 points1 point ago

No, seriously. Things like this are one of the reasons people hate us.

[–]DracoAzule 1 point2 points ago

They hate us because of rage comics?

Rage comics have been around since LOOONG before bronies.

[–]Grammar_Nazi009 0 points1 point ago

No, they hate us because someone (a brony, obviously) made that monstrosity.

[–]DracoAzule 0 points1 point ago

precisely

[–]HanzKrebs 1 point2 points ago

eeyup', sums it up pretty well

[–]sexi_squidward 1 point2 points ago

I was curious and thought it was cute...next thing i know, I'm spending $65 at ToysRus. This is not healthy on my bank account....also, I'm running out of places to put ponies.

I had the recordings on my boyfriend's DVR. My boyfriend got high one night (which he NEVER does, like maybe once a year kind of thing) and thought "What would be a ridiculous show to watch high?"

Ever since....secret obsession hahaha

Though I'm proud to say he bought his first pony shirt tonight! He's getting over his fear of being a brony to his friends haha

[–]Hatweed[S] 0 points1 point ago

I got off easy. I was the LAST one of my friends to become a brony.

[–]sexi_squidward 0 points1 point ago

I don't think my boyfriend's friends will ever get into MLP. A lot of them have that jock mindset. Only one has a possibility of it and that's because my bf is currently trying to get him to play Fighting is Magic haha

[–]Hatweed[S] 0 points1 point ago

Yeah... all my friends are bigger nerds than me. Took them an average of about 2-3 days to become a brony after they first heard of the fandom. Took me 8 months.

[–]wildfire250 0 points1 point ago

I have a friend who is a Brony but doesn't know that i am one, its going to be such an epic unveiling

[–]Hatweed[S] 1 point2 points ago

Manly tears will be shed...

[–]Spadeshock 0 points1 point ago

It's funny, because you don't really notice. Then one day you're just sitting down, enjoying a sandwich and it clicks. Shit i'm an internet horse fan.

[–]lookitsaustin 0 points1 point ago

I watched it because of the Youtuber Alex Day aka Nerimon.

[–]everyone_is_dicks 0 points1 point ago

Nerimon's a brony!?

[–]lookitsaustin 0 points1 point ago

I'm not quite sure, one of his girl friends had him watch the first two episodes and he liked it. I have not heard him mention MLP hence.

Click on me to see the video you lazy person you.

[–]DuckTruck 1 point2 points ago

I also was excited when they turned out to be the elements of harmony. interesting video thanks

[–]OmicronNine 0 points1 point ago

I don't know what I was expecting...

[–]godlyapple12345 0 points1 point ago

I became a brony in a VERY slow process.

[–]HornedRonin718 0 points1 point ago

Yep. My friend told me he was a brony. I told him I didn't know what all the fuss was about. He proceeded to show me The Cough, the darker sides of the mane six, and a variety of horrible yet fascinating fan submissions. He then topped this by showing me Fallout of Equestria. I have been an unstoppable force since then
