There was an anime a couple seasons ago called "Panty and Stocking". I looked at some cross over art featuring Stocking and Twilight. Then I was like "Hmm, Stocking has really similar hair to that Unicorn". I looked up the show, then started watching it from there.

My friend started faving ponies on Youtube. At first I thought it was his little sister getting on his account. (irl friend, not just some random guy)

I was proven wrong, then I watched a few episodes and couldn't stop :shock:

Mine was a slow transition to bronydom. I got interested after derpin' around Know Your Meme, and my first thought was, "What is wrong with people..."

Then I started watching the abridged series (think: multiple) on Youtube, then I thought, "This is pretty damn funny!"

Then came the day when my anime club told us we would be watching MLP: FiM. And I thought, "Eh, might as well check it out..."

Watching the actual show, I could not stop smiling! (My face: :) for hours) The show was just so cheesy with the huge emphasis on friendship and whatnot, I just couldn't help myself.

And though I have yet to to fully immerse myself (still "in the stable" so to speak), I do consider myself a legit brony.

Derp.

For me, it went like this. First I began seeing it pop up in videos related to stuff I already liked, TF2 and such, but i didn't pay it much mind. Then after listening to one of many TF2 based songs on youtube, I saw a video called TF2-Sandviches! by Zeurel. I watched it and thought it was fantastic. Then, I figured out that it was an animated version of 2007Excalibur2007's video, which was itself a TF2 sentence mixing version of the Cupcakes song. The fact that I liked this perplexed me. Shortly afterward, on an afternoon fraught with boredom, I chose to try watching the show. In 3 days, I watched the whole series, and though I laughed at myself with embarrassment every time the intro played for the first 20 episodes, I was hooked. Soon, I would call myself a brony.

Actually I started because of the Youtuber Mast3rlinkx. I was confused when he had added a bunch of My Little Pony videos, and so one day I decided to watch the episodes, and loved it.

Hmm, I was kinda interested in it because it had a lot of attention and memes. My friend encouraged me to watch it, so I did. I was put off by the singing and stuff, but other than that I liked it :3. What keeps me here? Community and the show itself.

this was about 4/5 months ago. as i was surfing the internet randomly i kept seeing images of ponies that looked nothing like the ones from the original series. but i just went past them. later on iwas watching episodes of know your meme. and noticed mlp fim was an episode. so i watched it. and thought "hmm... interesting". so i went on wikipedia for it. then decided to watch the first episode on youtube. it took me a few hours to pluck up the courage to click the play button. i watched it, thought it was alright then watched episode 2. and enjoyed it, but i skipped all the cheesy songs. so a few weeks ago i watched all the season 1 episodes again and kept the headphones in for the songs. they were very catchy. now im a biggish fan of the series

While ago, saw some memes. They made me laugh. I showed them to my friends, they laughed.Started looking up memes again about a week ago. Decided to try it. Loved it since the 1st episode. I might be new, but I consider myself a brony nonetheless. Anyways, couldnt get ponies out of my head. Needed some new people to talk to. Found this place.

mlp fim is epic. I do not care what anyone else says. ...Alot of people posted they dont really like the theme song, well I do, and I can swear I see twilight with a derp face when they about to touch the ground.

For me, it was one of my friends who came up to me one day,and said that he watched MLP FiM. I immediatly began laughing my head off and telling him it was a little girls show. :D After a few weeks of nonstop telling me to watch ponies i finally got myself to watch the show. after i got halfway through the first episode i fell in love with the show and proceeded to watch every single episode. My family no longer talks to me after they found out and all that my sister will tell me is that i am a disgrace. :) If the show had not been as awesome as it was i would never have watched it in the first place. I went to school the next day and told my friend that i had watched MLP FiM and that i loved it to which he responded "Welcome to The Herd" :(

I found a forum about it on a site completely unrelated to ponies, and decided to investigate for the kicks. After hearing everyone on it saying it was awesome, I got curious and looked it up on youtube. I now have Twilight Sparkle as a bookmark, and listen to nothing but pony music. And I have ponies on my mind almost 24/7.

I had seen bits and pieces of MLP related content over my summer break, but didn't give it anything more than an eye-roll. I returned to school only to find my group of friends were Bronies, and I teased them a bit for it. They eventually coaxed me into watching the show and...

Well, I've secretly been a cartoon nut all my life, and I couldn't deny how great the show was. I was sold the second Fluttershy was introduced. Been following it every day ever since.

Actually I used to hate this show with a passion. I was heavily on 4chan during the "war", and posted many anti-pony pics (which I am now ashamed of). Anywho I went to my friends house one day, and I lost a bet and had to watch the "Grand Galloping Collab" YTP, and I somehow enjoyed it. Then I got bored one day and decided to give an episode a go. I watched the first one after skipping through the intro (still makes me cringe a little), and then I found myself clicking on the second one. Then the third one. By the time I went to bed I watched up to Ep.20 and it was 4 in the morning. Ever since then I have fallen deeply in love with the show, and what's better than combining the best show with the best game? Also, the same friend has teased me a few times about being a brony, of course, I loved and tolerated. Just the other day he sent me a MLP pic (Fun Dub'd Luna) and asked me for a link to the episode. I was more than happy to.

Holy crap. I was skimming through my memories of my childhood, and I remembered I was a brony when I was the ages between 4-6. Turns out when I was younger. Me and my sister (older) used to rp together with mlp dolls. I believe this happened 7-8 before fim. So I think it was a mashup of all the previous gens

Joined a Minecraft server called 'Equestria', went on same as normal as you would on any other survival server, it wasn't till about a month later that someone let me know it was a pony server. It went totaly over my head and yet there was even a rank called [Brony], I simply thought the owner had a fetish for brownies... *facehoof*. One magical day they began playing an episode of MLP FiM through the ventrillo server. I thought it was awesomez and continued watching it to the end of the season! Yayums :D

I'd heard about the show for a couple weeks, and discovered just how crazy about the show some people are. I saw a video on youtube with Pinkie Pie singing about getting over your fears. And decided it seemed alright. So I willingly watched a few episodes on T.V. here and there. Two or three in total, and I...Still didn't get what the fuss was about. At all. I admitted that I could see myself watching it, as the show itself wasn't that bad. (I have a weakness for things I find adorable. This is something I found instantly adorable.) It wasn't until I checked out the fanfiction community that I slowly, ever so slowly, started to change into a brony. You see, there is a requirement, for me to obsess about a show/book of any shape or form. This requirement being that said show or book of any kind would need to be able to be crossed over with ANYTHING in fanfiction, and it still work. This requirement is also why MLP is not my only favorite show. It is tied, tied with Ranma1/2.

And the rest, as they say, is history.

My boyfriend got me into it before we were together and were just friends. I got interested in it because it didn't dumb itself down (you know,like Spongebob progressively did) for the sake of being a kid show and thinking that children are to stupid to understand its morals. It has terrific writing, the characters are fun and well developed, and hey, it teaches you how to be a better friend/person, even if you are an adult and think you don't need lessons. I still love it for the same reasons, but its also now become sentimental to me, again because it was my boyfriend who got me into it. :)

for me well,
i was going to stairs when my sister comes out of her bedroom to ask me something. " Are you a brony?" " No, what is that?" "Its a male who watches my little pony" I was shocked. to know that, she must watch, that show. " you watch my little pony? THAT SHOW SUCKS. how can you possibly like that show!!!!???" I remember the commercials from when they were back in the times of g3 or g2 and that was terrible, the only commercial I would mute as a 5 year old. she just told me that it was a LOT better from back then but I just left, trying to contemplate that my sister watches that show. after about 2 weeks of my sister talking about it, I decided, okay I guess I look it up after being told that you could find the shows on youtube. I still remember typing in " my little pony friendship is magic" and thinking " Oh god I am going to regret this". watched first part of first episode and regreted it. after 3 days I came back on to see the next one, and the next one. Saying to myself I am NOT a brony. One day I was sick with stomach flu, and had to stay in bed the whole day. there I took out my laptop and watched the rest of the show. at the end of the day, I said with no regrets, " I AM a brony"

I have a complicated story relating to this. I mean, who would think of a hellish, dark person like me to een consider watching MLP?

It started with the meme. When, it started getting popular online, I instantly has the assumption that it sucked. I ignored everything relating to it, and laughed in the faces of its fans. Later, I decided to start looking at the pony section of Memebase. It was funny, but I didn't really get it. I eventually saw how obsessive people actually got over the show, but still refused to watch it. After awhile, I was told to go watch the show by some people on a forum. I watched an episode. It was okay. I watched another. Better. I watched like four more. Quite good. Then I became more involved with the show. I'm not a "MLP extremist", but I am a fan of some fanfic, fanart, and the show. Just goes to show you that even the darkest person has a soft side.

i was reviewing old 80's cartoons, and i remembered the G1 song. "well" "nice memories" i said. Reading the comments, found someone that said that nothing like G4 mlp:fim. What a hell is G4? i thought. Then, this comment linked to "i, brony" video. "what is a brony?!" i decided watch this video. Really went a spectacular introduction. "well, give a chance" i said. First episode, was "fine" to me. The second, "i don't know what has this series but is ok" third episode "well, that's enough" five episode " two at the morning!!, i gonna to work early!!". The rest, like i had read in other posts, is history...God bless Hasbro!!

Normally I wouldn't have wanted to watch My Little Pony, but I had just finished re-watching Death Note with a friend, and needed a new show to watch. I wanted to watch something that was fairly contrasting to Death Note's darkness and seriousness. I had thought about watching MLP before this, to see what the fuss was about, but I never did, always thinking "no, this is a little girls kid show", but this was the right time, I was in the mood for something cheerful and happy. And man am I happy I did. So thank you Death Note, for showing me the way to friendship and happiness.

Well before I knew about this I was a HUGE yogscast fan! Then i saw the minelittlepony series they did... and boy I loved it just like all their other series then it got me thinking "This mod is quite cool imma go download it!" But then I relised I didnt even know what MLPFiM was! So I searched it up and my first thought was no... god no... My Little Pony??? But I decided to see what the fuss was about after I saw all the threads about them then one episode after another I just fell in love with it the graphic and the humor was nothing like the My Little Pony I remembered from when I was a kid Then I relised I became a Brony or a Bronette... whatever ...

Boredom and curiosity, those got me into ponies. I saw some pictures of ponies slowly invading a website, and one day i was bored and wanted to see where those pictures came from. I wanted to know is the show as good as they say. My opinion is that the show is better than anything, and im happy that i found this awesome community.

My friend told me about it, and I checked it out cause I was bored, and I loved it from the very first episode ^^

Now, I'm so into the show that he's quit watching it, cause he gets tired of me talking about it 24/7. He just watched it cause he liked it though, he was never a real brony :smile:

For me, it started with an Adult Swim ad. Random, yes, but true. The ad included a, "List of Things that Scare Us," and bronies were #1. They also added the false statement that, "Bronies are those who have a physical attraction to My Little Pony." I had no idea what to believe.

A few months ago, my friend informed me that he was a brony. I laughed, due to the false description in my head. He clarified what a brony was, and over the next few months, everybody I knew started becoming bronies, especially those who seemed least likely. They all dared me to watch the first two episodes, and the rest is history.

If I hadn't seen the Adult Swim ad, I wouldn't have paid any attention to my friend's comment, and never would have watched the show. So I guess I owe Adult Swim for my love of MLP.

Ratty has another forum for his other minecraft server and for TF2. On it a pony themed thread got started, at first I kind of loled and thought it was a joke, then I realized people were being serious about liking it, so for a while I just thought people were being weird and I tried ignoring the thread. Fortunately for me I somehow kept on going back and looking at the thread, and finally I decided to watch it just to see what all the fuss was about.

This is me during my early experience with MLP:FiM

My story started from school(last year).

Basically I saw someone wearing a brony shirt and I thought to myself "that is a nice shirt" but I wasn't quite convinced.Later on after 2 months, another brony but he was talking about the show itself, I said to myself "What is going on? Why are there suddenly bronies?". I went to the Minecraft forums to check for mods (when the version was 1.0) and I saw a couple threads related to Mine Little Pony and Ponycraft mods, I checked it out and I had the same idea(Looks nice and all) but I downloaded MineLP and didn't touch the file in thought "maybe I'll think about it when theres a time".On Youtube I watched the Yogscast "Sunshine of Ishapony" series, I was starting to somehow get interested to it.Then I stumbled upon one of Brohoof.com's videos which was Running of the Leaves event,I really like the race BTW.

Until..

I played Terraria. sometime later I kept getting killed by Unicorns and I said "Alright,Alright I give up unicorns. you win..."

The end, in which I watched the show until the end of season 2

Being a part of MLP changed my life quite a lot and better than playing too much shooter games (it was completely miserable except for Fallout)

*Clears throat* *Cracks fingers*

Well then, time to tell the tale of how I came to be here. Let's start when the series was somewhere around mid-way through season 1. I was browsing the internet as it was back then, playing games, chatting to friends. The usual stuff. But then one day one of my friends said to me over Steam chat: "omg (Person who shall remain anon) is a Brony!!!" (I wont name my friend either) But back then I had never heard ANYTHING about MLP at all, let alone the FiM series. I asked them what a Brony was and they explained it to me. After that I never really paid much attention to bronies or MLP.

A long while after this I stumbled across Apples.MOV and Dress.MOV. Nothing really happened, I found them kinda funny and disturbing...

At around the time I estimate to be 2-3 weeks ago I found my self watching this: I was clearly on the weird side of YouTube again. I then started watching similar things involving characters from the FiM series.
A day or two later I found my self hesitating over the Play button on the first episode of season 1 from MLP FiM. I started watching it in the smallest screen size and took several breaks from it to try and distract myself with other things. But curiosity took hold and I watched all the way through to episode 5 when I realised how much I liked it (Which was a lot). Although I still feel it's a bit...ehm...'not right' (If that makes any sense) and that at least 1 of my friends is very much against Bronies.
I've nearly finished season 2 (2 episodes to go) and I'm looking forward to season 3. But I'm not sure if I consider myself to be a fully fledged 'Brony' since I merely enjoy the show for what it's for and I'm not overly obsessed with it.

That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Mine was a loooong journey. It took about 1.5 years from the moment I was first shown it to actually accept it. I was first shown FiM at a sleep-over/LAN party at a friends, when we were running down on energy and ideas. Suddenly the only pegasister in the rooms yelled "Pony time!" and as it was her house, we had no choice but to watch. we saw 'griffon the brush-off' and it didn't really turn me to the show, or anyone else in the room, so we turned it off and continued gaming. A year later, I was at a summer camp when I made good friends with a brony, and a serious, non-closet brony at that. we discussed it for ages, and my eyes were opened a little more to the brony culture. I promised to watch the show after the camp. then forgot all about it for a good six months. Then, one night, I was getting my computer started up, and I remembered that promise. I tried again, watching from episode 1. From then to now, I am hooked. I caught up in a week, and now am thoroughly versed in the brony culture. It was awesome finding this, and I do not regret telling my friends. I have converted three so far!

I saw the Yogscast using the MLP mod and was interested. I looked up MLP:FiM and watched the first episode and was like: meh.. The second episode got a bit better and by the fifth I was hooked, and here I am know.

A brony friend of mine was trolling me and I decided to look at the first episode that he sent me. I got hooked into the second one and then the third one and so on.
