Thanks M.A. Larson for this beautiful piece of work. I'll be uploading my second reaction (with less editing) shortly afterwards. So nice I had to record twice.
Changelings are background characters: now confirmed... Also, friendship problems being solved in 30 minutes or something... kind of reminds me the length of the episodes...
ChaosContrl Totally thought Chrysalis took on the form of a smaller changeling just to feed on the love of the wedding while looking as unmenacing as possible :L
I just love how I can see you exploding internally from this episode. Whether it would be your brain from gummy's inner monologue or reaching critical mass with the sisterly arguement.
juvygenius I lovedddd the sisterly arguement. It's great to see a little extra personality thrown into Celestia and Luna. Definitely one of the many highlights of this episode.
Narrator007 Ah, I didn't know you bowled as well! It's always great to hear about other bowlers in this community. Also thanks for linking the M.A. Larson podcast appearance. It's really cool. Btw, you still got marked for spam even though you replied to the comment. But I just recently marked you as "Always approve comments from this user" so hopefully you won't get marked as spam on my channel anymore. ;)
Holy... I cant believe you got the cooking up hands reference, let alone caught the secret frame xD Sharp eyes, PieDisliker! Also, probably the *best* reaction to the Mane 6 being locked out lol
RavinKaito I'm honored that you think my reaction to the mane six being locked out was the best, but I think Alex Side might've beaten me in that department, lol. (Not during the moment but after the episode ended, he went back cause he missed it.)
Fun fact, the scarf (the Baker scarf) Dr Whooves wore to the wedding was a reference to the 4th Doctor that wore a similar scarf and was played by Tom Baker
I fucking love this amazing episode/Epic fan service. I was very happy that Cranky and Matilda because I loved the backstory in the episode A Friend in Need. I love that Derpy's first attempt to apologize is to offer muffins. I love that Derpy hired Featherweight to make the invitations. Derpy is fucking adorable the Doctor's personality is great and I love their interaction. I love that Vinyl in this also wears headphones all the time. I do think she can read lips and knew where to find someone who could help the Doctor. I love the Big Lebowski ponies and that they addressed how weird the word man is in MLP. I bet someone is going to check if the equation works out. I love that even with the elaborate math the Doctor never thought to throw straight. I love Kazumi Evans performance as Octavia and the meta mention of friendship problems aka episodes take about 30 minutes. I like the design of the bug bear and love the parts of the battle we see. I find it hilarious that Amethyst's job was stolen by Twilight Sparkle. I love the flower trio in this episode. I love Lyra and Bon-Bon's voices and personalities. Also being sarcastic here just friends my white half-Irish ass. I love that they found a way to give Bon-Bon her original and fan name. I also love her backstory and it unintentionally makes sense because in the episode It's about Time Bon-Bon is in the background looking out a window at Cerberus. I also love how nonchalant ponyville has become about monsters. Steven Magnate was great and kind of insensitive. Although he is right about most people at weddings. I love that Cranky and Steven are friends and apparently go on crazy adventures and that Steven is his best ma- pon- beast. I love that Vinyl and Octavia are roommates and that half the house is designed by Vinyl and half is designed by Octavia. I think the head canon that Vinyl is mute might be canon but I'm holding out hope that legal circumstances change to allow Nowacking to voice her. I love the interaction between them even though Vinyl never speaks. The classical dubstep they play in this scene and the next is amazing. I love that the show made the bass cannon canon and mobile. I think literally seconds after they leave the house blink and you'll miss it they jump a shark. I love that during one character snapshot Berry Punch has a barrel that I assume is filled with booze. Also during the quick scrolling which I did not see when watching if you pause at the right frame there is a live action picture of 4 people in horse and unicorn masks. I love that Gummy is a philosophical genius and it explains why he barely does anything. Also if you look at his eyes the crash is going in slow-mo. I love the interactions between Luna and Celestia in the wedding scene because it’s so normal. I think Shining Armor cries at weddings because of what almost happened at his. I love that Steven did for Cranky what Rarity did for him. I love the relationships of Lyra and Bon-Bon and Derpy and the Doctor. I laughed my ass off when Derpy locked out the mane 6. I love the mayor’s speech/episode lesson and how meta it is. I think the Changeling is the one from A Canterlot Wedding that fell in Equestria unlike the rest that Matilda found injured, nursed it back to health and befriended it. This is because it was confirmed it is Matilda’s friend. Also Doctor Whooves says love activating the fireworks was obvious, sitting in front of the princess of love who is rolling her eyes. I love that the mane 6 only had 3 lines the entire episode. I have to say this could be the best episode in the entire show. ∞/∞Perfect Episode.
In case you didn't get who the ponies in the bowling alley were they were The Dude's group from the movie The Big Lebowski. I can't remember the specific episode but those ponies were features for like a second once.
juvygenius I completely understand how you feel! I just love love LOVE to watch people lose their shit while watching this episode! Hell, it's almost as enjoyable as the episode itself...almost.
8:36 The Doctor meets the Dude. 14:44 Wait, 10 years and you never got the 7-10? 19:45 Did you see Carrot Cake's elegant form as they're all being launched? 19:49 Don't worry I saw the guys in masks too. 23:55 Twitter revealed that's Matilda's friend. 24:45 Jack & Jenny! How did you forget something like that only a few seconds ago?! 24:49 Flameless Fireworks.
Nathan Alcantara 24:45 What I meant was that I thought it was a... donkey joke. Basically I thought they were implying that if it weren't a kids show, it would've been written as "I now pronounce you as Jack & Ass."
PieDislikerSwag Really? You thought Mayor Mare was gonna say ass? It's Discovery Kids, not TBS! Heck even Cartoon Network censored Shrek saying "stubborn jackass" to just "stubborn jack" whenever they show Shrek.
That's why I said "implying." Obviously the show couldn't have done that, but I thought the writers had that in mind. If it were a show with a TV-PG rating or higher, I believe that joke would've been made. It's only a theory, however.
23:50 there was one changeling that was reformed and came to live with normal ponies yet (as shown by the empty seats) is not accepted fully by pony kind
Oooooooooooooh! I get the changeling thing! Because when they add background ponies, sometimes they put duplicates, and fans would say "those are changelings pretending to be background ponies." So yes. Changelings can potentially be background ponies.
Mr Brightside The song after the reaction was the same as the one before the reaction started. Finals by Silent Partner. Unless you're talking about the credits theme, which is Rejected by Pony Music.
Chris Gnad I've watched a lot of reactions to this episode and none of them get it. Kind of sad so many people don't know about the dude. I see you've excepted Gabe Newell as your lord and savior. I try to not question half life 3 release because Gabe is all knowing...
All I can say about that episode... Not. At. ALL what I expected from Octavia, or Bon Bon! My headcanon has been that the High-society, Upper class, Octavia could never be roomies with the Wild, Party DJ, let alone move down to Ponyville. And then THIS Happens! ... Well, I guess she acts graceful in public, but lets loose in private. As for Sweetie Drops, I've heard there is some fanfic out there about her being a special agent. Would explain the constant voice changes. ;) Oh, btw, the backlground noise of a waterbottle doesn't really matter. All bronies could just as easily run their own copy of the episode on the side if they pleased. Probably watched it a hundred times before coming here and know it by heart. :p
The show staff know that if Vinyl was voiced by anyone other than Nowacking, the fandom would lose their shit. And if Nowacking becomes Vinyl's canon voice, she can never do fan stuff anymore.
Jay Spradley Honestly i think that its dumb that she could not do fan stuff anymore -.- i mean like the other Voiceactors can voice fun stuff.. I mean i dont think that Hasbro was included in Lets go and meet the Bronies....
Draxeid The VAs didn't voice their characters in the documentary though, it was only official clips from the show that were used, likely with permission from Hasbro. Its a very different thing to do a documentary than a derivative work or parody. Otherwise we could have had Discord doing "Let go and meet the Bronies", but instead they used an OC. Incidentally, I'm pretty sure they CAN'T employ Nowacking to do that character BECAUSE she has already done it in fan works. They couldn't claim ownership of her voice as that character, when she has already has prior art. It would be a legal nightmare for them.
+julie martinez Unfortunately few people can sound like her, and if they did, they would have to nail it or face ridicule. Plus by now, if Vinyl has not talked, it is fair to assume she never will.
i think you are the only one who immediately recognized Amethyst Star and the Ponies with Hats fanimation. :) I certainly didn't. :P But I got the Doctors shawl and Rose!
I think when Lyra said she cooked up and ate the oats was a reference to that episode of Spongebob where he gets new boots then Mr. Krabs cooked and ate them.
Haha Pie did you check back what the frame actually was that you mention at 19:48? ;D Because you really got to! ^^ And your face at 19:55 was totally mine at that scene! xD About the ep itself, let's be honest it was a complete mess! Several little stories and actions were going down similar in the background where the marriage was the main plot. Also doc's appearience was messy and confusing but still, just like you I call this ep the best ep of this season so far! I had at total blast watching it yesterday - I was laughing pretty much all the time! And hell Bon Bon - excuse me - special agent Sweetie Drops and Lyra together was so cute and awesome! :D It's likely one of my fav eps ever! Can't wait for the upcoming ones! :D
OMG thank you! Even though I seen her around I could never figure out her name. She is pretty cool. Kinda hope she makes another appearance in the future.

PieDislikerSwag you were fan boying over this weren't you
+PieDislikerSwag that was Gummy's minds.
And yes, that was Gummy thinking. That pretty much explains why he looks like he doesn't give a buck to everything: he's just having deep thinking!
That moment when you realize that this episode is canon.....
No the moment that you realized it should have been a 1 hour special
Holy... I cant believe you got the cooking up hands reference, let alone caught the secret frame xD Sharp eyes, PieDisliker!
Also, probably the *best* reaction to the Mane 6 being locked out lol
RavinKaito I'm honored that you think my reaction to the mane six being locked out was the best, but I think Alex Side might've beaten me in that department, lol. (Not during the moment but after the episode ended, he went back cause he missed it.)
PieDislikerSwag Oh, whaaat!? I must have missed that part somehow lol Well... just goes to show that you _both_ have amazing reactions :D
12:13 Dude, He's puking hype xD
Fun fact, the scarf (the Baker scarf) Dr Whooves wore to the wedding was a reference to the 4th Doctor that wore a similar scarf and was played by Tom Baker
FINALLY SOMEBODY WHO REMEMBERS THE "ponies with hats" REFERENCE!!!!!

∞/∞Perfect Episode.
Bubble Butt is best background pony.
I've watched about half a dozen reaction videos to this episode. It's so much fun to watch people's minds get blown by Gummy.
Ill be sitting here waiting for that rainbow rocks reaction :P *plays katyusha* :3
In case you didn't get who the ponies in the bowling alley were they were The Dude's group from the movie The Big Lebowski.
I can't remember the specific episode but those ponies were features for like a second once.
I bet this changeling is going to be the next vilain.
Must be OP with all this love to feed on.^^
if anyone in the comment section was at MLP-MSP you got to see the episode early. but the hype there was so EPIC! and everyone praised Larson.
Lol
"Well, Derpy spoke... She said muffin"
The most ship-filled episode. xD
at 19:50 ...your reaction was priceless.
juvygenius I completely understand how you feel! I just love love LOVE to watch people lose their shit while watching this episode! Hell, it's almost as enjoyable as the episode itself...almost.
13:41 Drinking water intensifies.
lol
Good to finally see some insight for the bowling scenes from a bowler :D
lol, your reaction to Gummy's thoughts.
8:36 The Doctor meets the Dude.
14:44 Wait, 10 years and you never got the 7-10?
19:45 Did you see Carrot Cake's elegant form as they're all being launched?
19:49 Don't worry I saw the guys in masks too.
23:55 Twitter revealed that's Matilda's friend.
24:45 Jack & Jenny! How did you forget something like that only a few seconds ago?!
24:49 Flameless Fireworks.
Nathan Alcantara 24:45 What I meant was that I thought it was a... donkey joke. Basically I thought they were implying that if it weren't a kids show, it would've been written as "I now pronounce you as Jack & Ass."

23:50 there was one changeling that was reformed and came to live with normal ponies yet (as shown by the empty seats) is not accepted fully by pony kind
m.a larson the god of alicorns
Oooooooooooooh! I get the changeling thing! Because when they add background ponies, sometimes they put duplicates, and fans would say "those are changelings pretending to be background ponies."
So yes. Changelings can potentially be background ponies.
Cody Sensei That might just be the case. D:
I've heard about a cut gag with some of the background ponies meeting their recolors.
I had a stroke watching this...
not literally
I'm going to keep calling her Bon Bon, are u going to call Derpy Muffins?
Jessica Williams Nah, there's nothing that could stop me from calling her Derpy.
omg i love your reactions haha their almost the same as mine :DD
so epic
Also Sweetie Drops is her secret identity, so I think she would prefer you call her BonBon
Jay Spradley She's the Bon who lived.
That one frame with the 5 dudes in horse heads
Best episode ever.
Man, you have no idea how I crazy I went while waiting for this reaction. :D
Also, did you notice Vynil and Octavia jumped the shark at 18:48 ?
woutmees I found out afterwards, haha. Definitely a nice edition.
when i first saw this ep i seriosly thought it was a joke or i was dreaming
19:44 that hidden frame is a bunch of guys in horse masks.
I love this episode and he's reaction to gummy guest hallarias
Best episode but I can't believe Bon Bon is a special agent...what the hell Hasbro?
Matthew Lo Gotta integrate the Sweetie Drops name somehow, haha.
And the name switching.
When I was watching you I thought you are going to explode xD
Nah, you can still call her BonBon. Lyra does after all!
8:55 no man....I'm the dude.
At 21:50, do you mean the Llamas with Hats reference?
Anonymous user
Ponies with Hats, which is a pony version of llamas with hats
If only vinyl talked
Whats that music that started playing during your wrap-up, the guitar and drums one .
Mr Brightside The song after the reaction was the same as the one before the reaction started. Finals by Silent Partner. Unless you're talking about the credits theme, which is Rejected by Pony Music.
Dobrica Putnikovic
ovo je samo jednostavno samo ne
22:48 Chewbacca confirmed
Am I the only brony that get's the Big Lebowski reference at the bowling ally?
Chris Gnad I've watched a lot of reactions to this episode and none of them get it. Kind of sad so many people don't know about the dude. I see you've excepted Gabe Newell as your lord and savior. I try to not question half life 3 release because Gabe is all knowing...
Joe Streeter Or the people doing those reactions just _don't_ care. Others have already pointed out that reference.
19:43 : subliminal picture
do you guys see that frame wyth human head horse ?
eduard multz Yupppp.
thumbnail was misleading, needs more larson
God, am i the only one who can't remember steven magnet's name?
20:41 holy shit man your face was blood red calm down
Button shipping dose any one notice that
you look kinda like peanutbuttergamer xD
19:43
23:53 Racist.. Ok this is getting old xD
Everyone whose seen this episode has one moment in particular that they went hysterical over. For me it was that changling
Mr Brightside I got to agree. I loved all of it, but it was the changeling bit that I loved most lol
Mr Brightside For me, it was when Vynil and Octavia jumped out of the house with that bass cart.
Mr Brightside for me it was that freeze frame of the dhx staff wearing horse masks
Lyra and Bon Bon, I mean Sweetie Drops and their "Friendship"
Let's call it that ;)
That Changeling (I dub him Doomie or Ling) and Gummy (Philosigator).
Fun fact in this episode at exactly 19:43 just one hidden frame showed the staff of DHX :)
~If you want to see it just lower the speed to 0.25~
Gxblaster999 Saw it many times, haha. It was a nice touch.
【Gxblaster999】 That's... terrifying to say the least. I don't think I can ever unsee that XD
BEST EPISODE EVER!!
Mhm
Princess Melodious Heart I wish they used David Tennant for Doctor Whooves though. D: But I like his actor they used.
DanTheBrony same
Princess Melodious Heart Derpy: Muffin?
DanTheBrony her name isn't muffin D: Hasbro got it wrong
All I can say about that episode... Not. At. ALL what I expected from Octavia, or Bon Bon!
My headcanon has been that the High-society, Upper class, Octavia could never be roomies with the Wild, Party DJ, let alone move down to Ponyville. And then THIS Happens! ... Well, I guess she acts graceful in public, but lets loose in private.
As for Sweetie Drops, I've heard there is some fanfic out there about her being a special agent. Would explain the constant voice changes. ;)
Oh, btw, the backlground noise of a waterbottle doesn't really matter. All bronies could just as easily run their own copy of the episode on the side if they pleased. Probably watched it a hundred times before coming here and know it by heart. :p
Tabitha st. germain as Muffins, pricess luna, lotus blossom
Tabitha st. germain as MUFFINS
MUFFINS
The show staff know that if Vinyl was voiced by anyone other than Nowacking, the fandom would lose their shit. And if Nowacking becomes Vinyl's canon voice, she can never do fan stuff anymore.
Jay Spradley Yeah. Honestly I think the fandom's fine with Vinyl being mute. I think it's pretty fitting for her character actually.
Jay Spradley Honestly i think that its dumb that she could not do fan stuff anymore -.- i mean like the other Voiceactors can voice fun stuff.. I mean i dont think that Hasbro was included in Lets go and meet the Bronies....

Alex Atkin Agreed. Lawyers are a death knell for creativity, entertainment, and humor. Particularly trademark lawyers.
+julie martinez Unfortunately few people can sound like her, and if they did, they would have to nail it or face ridicule. Plus by now, if Vinyl has not talked, it is fair to assume she never will.
i think you are the only one who immediately recognized Amethyst Star and the Ponies with Hats fanimation. :)
I certainly didn't. :P
But I got the Doctors shawl and Rose!
Ah! Every reactor who haved seen the scene about Gummy had the same mindfuck face like yours Piedisliker, which is of course very hilarious.^_^
13:54 I've watched this episode so many times now and i've never noticed what Pinkie is doing in the background..completely relevant.. xD
21:59 Dr. Whooves has turned into Arnold Schwarzenegger.
i have but one reaction!:EEEEEEEEEEEEEHHHH!! YAYAYAAYYAYAYAYAY!1!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think when Lyra said she cooked up and ate the oats was a reference to that episode of Spongebob where he gets new boots then Mr. Krabs cooked and ate them.
i love the way you reacted when muffins spoke xD
Haha Pie did you check back what the frame actually was that you mention at 19:48? ;D Because you really got to! ^^
And your face at 19:55 was totally mine at that scene! xD
About the ep itself, let's be honest it was a complete mess! Several little stories and actions were going down similar in the background where the marriage was the main plot. Also doc's appearience was messy and confusing but still, just like you I call this ep the best ep of this season so far! I had at total blast watching it yesterday - I was laughing pretty much all the time! And hell Bon Bon - excuse me - special agent Sweetie Drops and Lyra together was so cute and awesome! :D
It's likely one of my fav eps ever! Can't wait for the upcoming ones! :D
nerdexproject I totally saw that freeze frame, haha. It was a blast to watch, they added so much detail to it. =p
At 25:35, this REEALLY is drinking watter...
I loved this reaction of the 100th episode the most. :D
19:50, the moment your mind crashes....
Ive noticed most of us had a similar reaction xD
There is a fan animation it's called ponies with hats
My favorite episode of mlp is double rainboom
PieDislikerSwag 10:51 THANK YOU!
He reacted exactly how I did
Where was discord?
Whats the name of the purple pony matilda asked to plan her wedding?
Shadow Fox Amethyst Star
OMG thank you! Even though I seen her around I could never figure out her name. She is pretty cool. Kinda hope she makes another appearance in the future.
12:12 xDD
swing
hi ^^
I met M.A Larson at ever free northwest con.
chiclids Hopefully I can meet him at Bronycon!
I bet you will show me if you do :)
lol
