Ballad of the Brony: Act Four

[TheRj1322]

i laughed sooo hard at 2:12

great job

[Krystal64Alec]

wow...you sure did your reasurch. good job! this act and act 2 are the best ones in my opinion. and i'm sure u get this kind of question all the time but i just gotta know, what are the videos called at 8:21 and 8:38? if you could tell me that would be great. keep up the good work!

[mikeAguy1]

Awesome

[DrSuperfox]

What's the name of the song at 6:31?

[fundude365]

03:00 That's nothing, about 30 seconds before you see those three, JESUS is clearly visible on one of the couches... not that one but the Jesus from the same movie :)

[MsBurningman]

Well artwork montage

[MsBurningman]

Could any one tell me what music was playing as he was showing the photo montage. Cause it sounded awesome

[mattthehatt99]

image at 05:00 need! it will be safe in my hard drive ahem FOREVER

[twilight7896]

Well, they didn't used to mess with the youtube videos :P At least they leave fan stuff alone

[busterbladerpwn]

I prefer to think that Discord's dance was based off of Dee Dee's dance from Dexter's Laboratory.

[protosega]

Now I want KFC...You ass.

[paparon90fon]

whats the video at 8:30

[paparon90fon]

whats the video at 3:30

[CHARmanderLIE]

I'd never realized that Snips and Snails were a play on "snips and snails and puppy dog tails"....

Which makes perfect sense considering the PPG were made of "sugar, spice, and everything nice"... and Chemical X...

[Harbisis]

14:03, in the top left of the phone is that a 4chan reference?

[Harbisis]

13:36 i have also heard these rumors, i wonder if it will ever happen? ;)

[crazymoron66]

I've searched through the credits but I'm having no luck, could anyone tell me the name I the song played at 4: 47 for the montage? molto apprezzato.

[Atlittle104]

damn good series Spark, the only reference that i think you should have included as well was the star wars episode 4 parody ending in the season 2 episode 2 ending... that was by far my favorite reference of all time.

[TheAntBill]

12:01

It's not a fucking cello! Cello's sit down!

IT'S A FUCKING BASS!

GAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH

[Jbob98onroblox]

take my wallet, my house, my left flank, and ALL OF MY LOVE

:3

[Daegonath]

what's the music at @03:22? I feel I've heard it before.

[kellyroy651]

I started off watching meet the medic as pinkie pie on YouTube but then started watching the actual programme and now I keep it secret from friends in case they call me gay. I'm Roy and I'm a proud 16 year old BRONY

[TheSenseiSensi]

@kellyroy651 You can't be proud unless your open about it. Tell your friends, then love and tolerate them if they give you any flak for being a brony.

[stringtheory00]

anyone know the name/has a link of the fanart where rainbow dash (or some other pony who has a rainbow colored mane and tail) is a mom? I can't find it through google

[PaeroPwns]

The best pony caption is one with one of Pinkie Pies many crazy smiles captioned "Do it faggot!"

[PaeroPwns]

If people say to me "Ponies are gay etc etc", I just respond with we fought against 4chan and ultimatley won... did YOUR fanbase do that?!

[hagamablabla]

I don't think the "Hasbro let videos stay on youtube" thing applies anymore since the recent takedowns D:

[ChowderAnimations]

BRONIES*

[ChowderAnimations]

Fucking auto correct

[ChowderAnimations]

And the music by brines is pretty good!

[ChowderAnimations]

The fan art got me interested.

[BlitzWing00]

Derpy Hooves: You said that the show decided to leave her eyes alone....that's not exactly correct. They're deliberately derping her eyes after they realized how popular she was. For season 2 they've said they're storyboarding her in scenes now, if she was left as a background pony she would just be included on a whim. So the incredible thing about Derpy is she's represents all the incredible impact the bronies are having on the show. Arguably, she sparked the inital internet interest in MLP.

[Zero24Q]

Welp, I'm off to eat a cheesy bacon bowl from KFC.

[DXIndustriesInc]

My eyes were watering by the end of this... and not just because my "CONFOUND THESE PONIES, THEY DRIVE ME TO HUG" picture made it in <3

[theothercheese]

oh goodness...

so flattering to see my rom hack featured here

great work on the series, by the way, it's awesome!

[kevinguzzer]

NOT THE MONTAGE!!!! OH MAKE IT STOP!!!! too... much... subscriptions, likes, and faves x_x -dies from the awesomeness of Bronies-

[Velenor1]

A turer thing hasen't been said: Hasbros Decision the allow yll the YouTubeness of bronies made the best. It even made me import MLP toys.

[TLOWNSU]

8:38

What video is that from?

[MadlyDecent]

Plz, whats the song during the pony art montage?

[Saberspark]

@MadlyDecent Pinkie Pie Swear: Sunshine and Celery Stalks 

[MadlyDecent]

@MadlyDecent nevermind, derp!

[CAPCOMMASTER]

4:46 Wait...THAT'S MY DRAWING! xDDD

[Calligrapher42490]

Just realized, you forgot about the Jaws reference! In the Halloween episode, somepony is dressed as Quint getting eaten by the shark!

[Kytseo]

7:52 what video is this?

[DracoDei]

Ok, so unless you made this later than the previous part I commented on, you really haven't explained how you work Dash's stage-fright into her overall fearless character.

[hurristat]

I woke my roommate up with laughter to the "everyday I'm shufflin'" comment

[ThePa1riot]

Commercial? Dirty? Nothing wrong with giving credit where credit is due.

[0revolutionary]

I wish you would have put the Star Wars reference from the end of s2 e2

[Kytseo]

also, Doctor Whooves is compared to the tenth doctor (played by David Tennant), mostly because of the hairdo

[Kytseo]

8:31 what video's this clip from?

[ritardable]

Y U NO MENTION PINKIEPIESWEAR WHEN U USE PINKIEPIESWEAR

still fantastic

[TardisCat26]

You got a lot of references but missed one of the best! At the end of the Discord episodes, it's the Star Wars reference. Almost shot for shot pony remake!

[femoman]

@TardisCat26 Not to mention, completely missing either Benny-Hill-chase-scene parody

[Philweasel]

You used my Lord of the Ponies video! My small piece of immortality...

[Saberspark]

@Philweasel Ha! I was hoping that some of the Bronies who made the art, videos, and music would at least stop by and watch this presentation. Truly, it is an honor and I appreciate all of the hard work that each Brony in the community puts into our fandom.

[DracoDei]

@Saberspark

Listing the URLs so people who like them can give their compliments directly to the artists (and maybe even commission them) would have been very good (Is that included in the .rar? I suspect not.) Asking in advance would have been even better.

[DracoDei]

@DracoDei

Or was will the URLs be in the credits that you mentioned?

[1Animeculture]

Yey! brohoof! i love artistery aswell ^^

I both draw with tablet and mix music.

[Kujiiro]

2:20 Ermac, actually. But close enough.

[thomasw011]

'twas only a matter of time for "sunshine and celery sticks" to come up.

on another note, ponies have taken up 90% of my activity on DA. you could say there's a following.

[thomasw011]

3:14- nuff said.

However, you can never forget the extended star wars reference at the end of "return of Harmony"

[7894561237531591]

Sunshine and Celery Stalks! :D

[TheWeirdPlant]

8:46 what video is this?

[TheWeirdPlant]

@TheWeirdPlant Nevermind, probably in credits. :V

[ArcaneArts]

Second side note: Actually, Hasbro HAS started taking down episodes, Xyro for instance had to make a new channel where he can 'secretly' upload stuff.

On the whole though, I think they are keeping a window open for a while-let people see the show, and then take it down to promote sales of prodcuts and encourage people to buy the HUB. I would get this channel myself if I could afford it, but Hasbro seems to be keeping my options open.

Course, they could force me to watch it on their website

[ArcaneArts]

Side note: Three alcohol jokes, since Applejack is the name of drink as well.

[LeQuack147]

2:09 - I should have seen that coming a mile away, and yet I didn't. Well played.

[Nintend0K3nny]

12:04 "That's it. We never see her [Octavia] again."

She reappeared in the episode that aired today. You must have jinxed it.

[Saberspark]

@Nintend0K3nny Maybe they are listening...OH LUNA PROBABLY WON'T SHOW UP AGAIN AND DERPY WON'T BE TALKING IN THE NEXT EPISODE! *looks suspiciously*

[R4Lable]

@Saberspark Aaaaand Derpy talked in todays episode. They DO listen!

[kirchhoff42]

@Saberspark If you watch the newest episode you will hear derpy talk.

[Eternalsea1]

@Saberspark You my friend are a motherbucking prophet,Derpy talked in

''The Last Roundup'' and she was called Derpy making it cannon.

[SapphireDolphinable]

@Saberspark Derpy DID talkxD Say that I won't win I million dollers. DO IT!

[MrTyzone]

10:27 Damn it, I lost again.

[masterofthecontinuum]

4:30 True capitaist radio

[baseball4life374]

What is the song at 3:20?

[Baluhhh]

@baseball4life374 watch?v=sYf64O-tsy4

[AQrippin]

I like the fact that more than half of the pictures you used to showcase brony art is in my pony folder :D

[KidAuthorFilms]

You sound ALOT like Roo from ClanoftheGrayWold, you know?

Anyways, great retrospective. I suppose you got some serious props from your school, eh?

[MrDoctorCrow]

Our benevolent overlords at Hasbro 

[WisdomThumbs]

What's this at 8:47? I've never seen this animation before and it looks BEYOND LIMIT BREAK AMAZING.

[Baluhhh]

@WisdomThumbs watch?v=TkpRUhdVNmU

[sockeye1011]

Thumbs up if you went and bought a KFC Cheesy Bacon Bowl after watching this video.

[WalrusFever]

6:55 Must.....find......video......­.

Lol, i've seen every other thing this guy has featured, and I haven't done any research!

[GuitarRocker2008]

in lue of the amount of art and culture generated on the internet through one theme it seems obvious that the redemption of art (including music and animation) will come through the intrgration of the internet and not through th medium of money and schophenistic gallery owners who have no real concept of true art form.

[RenjiNo1]

WOOOOO!!!

ACOUSTICBRONY! YOU ROCK BRO! 

[willardb123]

9:40 Fukkks YEAH!!!!!!!

9:59 KOOOWL

11:00 k...?

[DrPlatypusStarcraft]

This is disgusting in all ways.

[Kel10ization]

@DrPlatypusStarcraft XD still trolling bro?

[ZeroEiyuu]

That commercial cracked me up...

[Blode4]

8:29 What is that video?! That movie looks very familiar...

[psaile93]

huh, i always pronounced octavia as oktahviah :|

[penispenischeetos]

you forgot swagberg in the music section. -.- still great video

[Cesaristheking]

Im not sure if this is a reference or not, but the first time you see the Dragon in Dragonshy it looks EXACTLY like the dragon on the cover of The Hobbit.

[ExcaliburSniper]

I fucking loved the montage, it really REALLY shows how great the community is.

[PikalaxALT]

14:45 - He says what we're all thinking!

[collinbollin]

hey there saber, i love your montage for youtube brony videos, could you release it alone, i sure that launching that clusterfuck of bony would turn any parasprite.

thanks for reading! fellow brony collinbollin

[JimRaynorRaider]

"everything is better with ponies" there, its fix :3

[MisterClockTower]

6:27

Time for another MON-tage!

Freaking blew my eardrums out, man. lol

[Shrikil7]

The only thing that bugged me is that the pony was dressed as Ermac not Scorpion D:

[EpicSaxSpike]

Doctor Whooves is the tenth incarnation of the Doctor

[bionicdragon5]

Oh my God! That perturbed look on Mr. T's face! That was fucking priceless!

[DantesGrill]

who deletes the pony vids from youtube if it isnt hasbro?

[20percentscoolerinen]

@Saberspark What's the video at 8:30? That is so kewl...

[TenaciousCarrot]

spreading like wildfire....you listen to ghost?

[ArcticLust213]

xD at the Shining joke

[akjk1212]

Octavia is popular in the fanbase because she looks just like Pinkie's sister in Cutie Mark Chronicles...

[akjk1212]

Eww....memebase

[Nixitur]

FUN FACT!

DJ-PON3 was actually also a fanname for the pony known as Vinyl Scratch, way before Equestria Girls. Her appearance and name in "Equestria Girls" was actually a shout-out to the fans who had already accepted the name DJ-PON3.

The theory that is, as far as I know, shared by most fans is that Vinyl Scratch is her name while DJ-PON3 is her stage name.

[onepiecerevenge]

So many references... it's beautiful especially 3:02 that will never get old

[McCargot]

How could you not have mentioned Ben as a musician? D:

Nevertheless, really great videos so far. ;)

[MySpanishTie]

HAI GURRRRLS

[ChurchHatesTucker]

On the off chance it hasn't been mentioned, "DJ PON3" was also coined by fans before the Equestria Girls commercial, as Vinyl Scratch's stage name.

[RequiemPwnagePSN]

10:16 WTF ARE THESE PONIES DOING IN TERMINA FIELD?!

[SirJalapenoPepper]

@RequiemPwnagePSN

/watch?feature=player_embedded­&v=KSm91XN1QNw

[LuaPineapple]

The *tenth* doctor! Not the eleventh...

[emangamer1]

Who is that at 9:36? I cant hear what you are saying

[Xanthordragon5]

Awesome, but you forgot the star wars reference at the end of Se2, Ep2.

none the less, best presentation I've ever scene

[DillH117]

This was fuckin' awesome, this guy deserves two hugs

[emangamer1]

The picture montage had me laughing for 10 minutes straight

[Gaarott]

What's that animation called at 08:32? it looks amazing o:

[Gaarott]

@Gaarott Oh nevermind i found it, rule 43 ^^

[CommandSpry]

@Gaarott so what was it? :)

[Gaarott]

@CommandSpry Rainbow Dash Reloaded /watch?v=tReXtRiW7dI

I just searched for matrix pony and it was there x)

[MrSteroids1]

so much ponies! ;v;

[TheKeyblademaster001]

love em all ... always will

[TheKeyblademaster001]

again ... all the songs used i had heard (some i have on my PSP) and i can sing or imitate really well

[GigawingsVideo]

Heh, the biggest problem are Brony hater who report pony series uploaders, we need more people uploading pony series in YT stat!

[Armadan7]

Goodness I have the most gigantic grin on my face during the montages.

[alexanderbrooksify]

Hey, do you know if you could compile these videos into one long one and post it up? I'd like to link this to friends as an explanation of the Brony phenomenon for a one-stop link for easy viewing.

(That is um if you... want... to.)

[Saberspark]

@alexanderbrooksify Sure thing

[Mr111989]

@Saberspark I knew that this show had references, but I did not catch or notice them until you pointed them out. I wonder what the team that made this show will do in terms of references for Season 2 (and if possible a third season, if the second one does well.)

[Saberspark]

@alexanderbrooksify Do ya mean the entire Ballad? Or the videos on this particular vid?

[alexanderbrooksify]

@Saberspark I meant the entire thing. As I say, not sure if that's feasible for you.

[aztecsword12]

@Saberspark i think he means upload the entire Ballad series into a ~1.5 hour long video so that people can see the whole thing without having to watch it through several videos.

[alexanderbrooksify]

@Saberspark I thought I had replied, but I guess it glitched out. I meant the entire Ballad, yeah.

[henx125]

@Saberspark the entire ballad

[OminousBooch]

2:19 He's dressed as Ermac, good sir brony.

[Saberspark]

@OminousBooch I learned something new today ^_^

[Xilies117]

4:47. Song name please? Having trouble finding it in credits.

[Saberspark]

@Xilies117 It is PinkiePieSwear - Sunshine and Celery Stalks



[BaneKaikyo]

2:10 This is why Discord is best pony.... or draconequis rather.... I have a strong feeling that I spelled that wrong :(

[toahero92]

I know that the second montage was SunShine and Celery Stalks - PinkiePieSwear

[TheVoxxification]

Crap, I know this song but I can't rememebr it, what is the song for the montage?

[ryukage19]

can we get a source list on that video montage?

[Saberspark]

@ryukage19 Working on it!

[NeoHooves]

@ryukage19 Video Montage song: Flowering Night, Sakuya Izayoi theme froma Touhou game. Sounds like a sped up remix.
