Those two episodes were the 2 that got me into mlp friendship is magic! I'll tell the story of how I became a brony, as well.
I was playing COD Black ops 2 on xbox live,
someone had a MLP emblem and started talking about it,
I said I disliked that show,
they said have you even watched it, and I hadn't watched it.
So, then, I went on Netflix and watched MLP:Friendship is magic, and became a brony!
