Guest January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 Ok, so here is the story. My brother has known about my being a Brony since before December, and he accepts that I watch it but he isn't interested himself. I told him he should at least give it a try, and I got him to watch half of Dragonshy. He moaned about how boring it was, and I asked him why. He couldn't say exactly why, and when I asked him which show he thought was not boring (he dislikes a lot of things) he said Pawnstars (I gave him a pretty good reaction face for that comment, it is a good show but really? ) I might be able to get him to watch just a little more without seeming pushy (I don't want to force it down his throat), but I can't think of a good way to do it. Does anypony have any suggestions for good episodes, or ways to make it seem more inviting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crispy 5,563 January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 Let him watch it on his own. People react differently to things when they know people are looking for a certain reaction. If he comes to like it, cool, but if he doesn't, at least he's not rude about you liking it.

Aureity 3,055 January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 Don't force him to watch something he doesn't like. Everypony is different. Just enjoy the show yourself, and eventually if he changes his mind, he'll come seek you out. A lil' Catherine <(^.^)> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skullbuster 1,906 January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 i dont make my brother do anything, in fact i find it funny when he hates on me My Let's Play channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCy14-AEEHdfj5QQAlYtB1_A Need a guest Rapper on a song? talk to me!: http://mlpforums.com/topic/103097-guest-rapper-for-you/ NEW SONG: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinkie Diane Pie 217 January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 Yur brother? PS: I think my brother is really annoying XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 (edited) Hmmm, you all make good points. Perhaps I will just suggest he take another look at it, and leave it at that. Thank you! Yur brother? PS: I think my brother is really annoying XD lol, he isn't annoying but he is just a bit on the negative side. Also, we seem to have this weird opposties thing going on. I am slow and cautious, he is fast; I like techno/synths, he will only listen to ACDC-esque music; I love the night, he loves the morning. I guess hoping ponies won't be a part of this polarization might be too much to ask. XD Edited January 25, 2012 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HanPolo 151 January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 I wouldent force your brother to watch it, but if you want an episode suggestion anyway, i suggest season 2: Lesson Zero. Skip to the crazy Twilight bits maybe, if he finds it boring. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StarGazer 129 January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 different strokes different folks, or however that saying goes. Maybe he's just not meant to like ponies but at least he's respectful towards you like you are respectful of him watching Pawnstars (I don't get the appeal either).

Ezynell 2,037 January 25, 2012 Share January 25, 2012 My brothers both know that I'm a hardcore brony, I have shown them each a few clips and fanmade material and they don't seem to be interested. I feel fortunate that neither of them go out of their way to embarass me in public. I wouldn't try to make them watch it if they seem to complain about it, be glad that they don't despise it.
