caesar15 231 July 26, 2012 Share July 26, 2012 I'd definitely say that of the nominated episodes, you should (1) show your parents the same episode, and (2) that episode should be "Party of One," at least out of the nominated episodes. It has a great amount of humor that I believe would appeal to any first-time adult viewer. Best of luck pal!!! I am, i am both showing them the discord ones at the same time, thats why i knocked it out from the poll, and if they want to watch another i ll show them the other ones individually.

Sounds like a plan, hope it goes well!!! Certainly can't go wrong with Discord, especially if either of your parents have ever been Trekkies (here's hoping, for your sake, they were! ).

Twi Rubix 726 July 29, 2012 Share July 29, 2012 I would recommend "It's about time" since my mom seemed to like it, but between the two... Mom: MMMMystery. It's got all those refrences, and it was a nice little mystery episode. Dad: Super Cider Squeezy. The whole "Cider = Booze" thing people seem to refrence might be pretty funny, and the Flim Flam Bros. are those kind of "Conning" characters.

Hylian Warrior 17 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 Lesson Zero would be a good episode to show them coz it's funny and doesn't look that of a childish show, what I do to get people to watch mlp is show them funny vids like Solrac's, some people don't get hooked watching one episode like most bronies do, so in case they don't show them funny mlp clips, usually works =) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mudkip 100 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 I'd show yer dad the Flim Flam episode, it was personally one of my favorites and it has one of the best show tunes in my opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Midnight Stars 17 July 30, 2012 Share July 30, 2012 When I try to convert people, I always get them to start with Party of One, since that's the episode I first saw. Turned on Air Conditioning in 10 seconds flat.

Forlong 1,726 July 31, 2012 Share July 31, 2012 The Flim & Flam episode is good if they are fans of "The Simpsons", as it does have some elements of that show. "Winter Wrap Up" is also a good choice, showcasing the strengths and weaknesses of this show. I still say that "Canterlot Wedding" is the best episode.

TheBreech 91 August 3, 2012 Share August 3, 2012 Discord episodes, Fluttershy's "But I am weak and helpless and I appreciate their understanding" line was how my older brother turned me from being an active anti-brony troll into a brony. Start with that clip on youtube, show them the episode it's from. Wait it's a 2 parter with a cliff ending, what happens next? Show them, ask "How'd you like the Sci-Fi references" (Q voicing Discord, The Star Wars ending)? Show them other episodes with more cultural references (Twilight's Dancing from Sweet and Elite, those three bowling guys in the Cutie mark Crusaders episode, etc.) and from there, take their reactions and comments and show them episodes to match. Eventually, they'll have the same realization I did and begin wondering what in the hoof just happened to the past 6 hours. Congrats, you now have Brony parents. I am an expert in whatever you don't call me out for not really being, and don't know enough about to realize I have no clue what I'm doing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peppermint 2 August 3, 2012 Share August 3, 2012 I'd say both parts of A Canterlot Wedding as the plot is pretty well-written and the characters are easy to affiliate with. It's harmless, enjoyable fun. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Return to Harmony is one of my favorite episodes! It made my friend become a brony XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deeмo 100 August 3, 2012 Share August 3, 2012 It's a difficult choice between Lesson Zero, A Canterlot Wedding two-parter, The Return of Harmony and A Dog and Pony Show. I would really recommend you to show them the episode "Lesson Zero," because it's full of memorable moments without any flaws. 14 NATIONAL TITLES AND COUNTING!

TenorBeat 14 August 17, 2012 Share August 17, 2012 I told my friend that I was a Brony, He never heard of it before so I had to tell him about it. He is curious and wants to watch an episode. I'm a little scared on which episode because I don't want to give him the wrong idea. any suggestions? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XUNUSEDXXX 3,459 August 17, 2012 Share August 17, 2012 the first episode? i mean if he wants to start watching it then get him there. but if you just wanna show him a really good episode, do Sonic Rainboom (Season 1, Episode 16) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusty Soul 2,614 August 17, 2012 Share August 17, 2012 "Hurricane Fluttershy" is a pretty good one that no one seems to give to anyone to show anyone. "Luna Eclipsed" "The Last Roundup" there's just so many. 1 Soundcloud-------------------Facebook---------------------------Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John 793 August 17, 2012 Share August 17, 2012 DEFINATELY NOT ANY OF THE FIRST EPISODES! Show him: 1.) party of one 2.) Lesson Zero 3.) The two season 2 launch episodes. 4.) The one where twilight goes back in time.. Forgot what it was called. 5.) Hearth's Warming eve 6.) The one where Fluttershy learns not to be a pushover.. Forgot what that one was called too. :I 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats how I watched them anyway so accessibility shouldn't be too much of a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Night Shine 772 August 17, 2012 Share August 17, 2012 I would suggest Return of Harmony, Sonic Rainboom, or It's About Time. Also i showed my friend the Changeling fight scene from Canterlot Wedding and he thought that was cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

By accessible I mean't like easy for a non-brony to understand and to be interested in. Correct me if my wording was wrong Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
