Taking Brotherhooves Social Too Seriously ft. TrickyFox 

XD WAS THAT MARKIPLIER SAYING "Lets go say hi to senpai"

I still don't understand the controversy around when this episode can out. People calling Bic Mac trans or thinking he's trans. Its like people forgot what crossdressing is.

I love how doctor wolf is in the crowd and he's already collared with him like a million times, as have most of at mini crowd XD

I really wish there was a REAL cousin Orchard Blossom, she would be great. A southern belle in the Apple family? Such wonderful reactions!

"That's Big Mac in a dress" ***Dies of laughter*** **I'm sorry that's too much for even me*

I had a lot of fun working on this one. Awesome that it is finally finished :)

"Lets go say hi to senpai!" *spins spastically*

"Let's go say hi to senpai!!!!!!!!!"

You know what, the cut between AB blowing up and then saying “You know I’m not mad” makes sense to me, as a older brother with one of my younger having a... personality, which sometimes blows up, but I know him to not mean it in the long run, it could make allot of sense if we think of it as AB blowing up in the moment, realizing her words afterwards, and going to make sure Big Mac didn’t take it to harsh when hearing he is sitting alone under a tree at sunset

What if AJ is actually the oldest, then Mac is suffering from 'Middle Child' sydrome, a sydrome where your are pretty much invisible and the most distant with both siblings. I know, I suffer through.

Is it weird that I never watch MLP, yet I still love watching Josh's various reviews?

9:57 to 9:59 Can we get a response from SilverQuill about that? XD

Rainbow Dash: "I know Applejack has a lot of relatives but I feel she would have mentioned you." And you would have remembered if she had?

3:10 "You wouldn't hurt your honey would you?" 😆😆😆

“Let’s go say hi to senpaaaiiiiii” -Markiplier’s Discord OC XD

Josh forgot to use "Man, I Feel Like A Woman" during the Orchard Blossom joke montage. THAT WOULD'VE BEEN PERFECT!

Of all of the things I was NOT expecting to see in my sub box today, THIS is up there. Hopefully it won't take forever for the next one to come out, since CotLM is EASILY the best episode of the series.

This was indeed a fun and heartwarming episode and I too really liked the way they handled a guy in a dress. Nobody's fooled. Nobody's raising a fuss.

"You know that I'm immune to fire, right?" Okay, have a Blizzaja.

Freakazoid reference! Lately I've felt this episode and Forever Filly are both really poignant and painfully relatable.

At the moment, out of every released episode of this show, Brotherhooves Social is my favorite episode from the entire series. Maybe a bit strange because I don't consider myself to have any shaky relationships with my siblings. But I still felt for Big Mac and understood his motivation. Sure, seeing him in the dress for the first time was shocking, but it's not hard for me to believe he'd want to do something like that for his little sister that he feels is starting to lose touch with. There's not a single thing in this episode I can find that I can complain or nit-pick on (even with the one thing you guys mentioned about Big Mac not being able to jump. Remember, Big Mac is a rather large pony, and he was wearing "high heels". I can't imagine jumping in place being easy for him to do in that moment). It was touching to see Big Mac feel the way he does at the beginning of the episode, adorable to see Apple Bloom bonding with Applejack, they connected the parallel plot between Made in Manehattan and this episode really well. And the meat of the episode where Big Mac is at the social itself was just hilarious and sweet at the same time throughout it all (obviously bonus points goes towards the disguise not fooling anypony). And the ending of this episode is hands down my favorite moment in the entire series. Or favorite moment in any cartoon, show, or movie... really. For one, William Anderson nailed the score that plays in the background in that ending scene. In my opinion, its one of his best works. The imagery with the sun setting down is absolutely gorgeous to look at. And the conversation and bonding moment between Big Mac and Apple Bloom has me losing it every fucking time I watch this part. The only thing that comes to mind that doesn't make sense is that at the end of Made in Manehattan, the sun was set by the end of that episode, but in this episode, Applejack apparently made it back to the Apple Orchard before the sun has set. That's literally the only thing I can think of that kind of bothers me, but even then Manehatten is supposedly an eastern town, so maybe the train back somehow outran the sunset when it was on the way back to Ponyville? Idk. Still love this episode. I don't know what the writers of this show can do to top this episode for me. Glad to see you're back at it Josh. You were on of the first content creators for MLP I started to watch when I entered this fandom a little over a half a year ago. Keep it up!

I find it interesting that Tricky Fox identifies with Big Mac as the isolated sibling and Josh identifies with Applejack as the hero sibling. Meanwhile I'm more on Apple Bloom's level (oh my, it's almost as if I chose my name for a reason). I'm closer to my eldest sister than I am the middle sister. Sometimes the middle sister would get jealous of our relationship. I still love both of them (some days more than others) and even I get jealous of their relationship too since they're much closer in age to each other. It's pretty common in sibling relationships and the episode addressed it well. As mentioned in the video, the show usually aces sibling relationship episodes. Hence why I chose my OC name as the names of the younger sisters. Great review you guys! Also NOTICE ME, SENPAI!!

Firebrand's return: Talk about several episodes that trigger Lily Peet into doing something stupid.

Firebrand : Wait, that was you? I thought you were some kind of hobo. Anyway, you got here pretty fast. Trickyfox : HECK YEAH! And I was first here, too. You should see the line. Firebrand jumps up in surprise. Firebrand : The......line? Line of bronies cheering with glee and happiness. Markiplier (as a dragon ) : Let's go say hi to Senpai! Firebrand : I immediately regret this decision. Me : BOODOOP! ROFL! I wouldn't mind a line of people who want to collaborate with me.

FLUTTERBOMB!!!!!

"Let's go say hi to Senpaaaaai." *Seizure*

Sweet, good to have you back commander firebrand. And with Tricky Fox no less. That FlutterBomb joke killed me every time XD. Now I want to see you do that at a con or something. Also that collab line... Are fast passes available?

Markiplier " Let's go say hi to senpai" XD I'll never stop laughing about that

man that's a long collab line :P

3:10 Tricky: "You wouldn't hurt your honey now, would you?" So many things I could say, and none of them would be appropriate.

you didn't disappoint. love how you treated this episode and of course the puns

I wish I could collab with Firebrand. Then again, who doesn't?

I love that “we are in the beam” voice XD

9:55 FIREBRAND'S A CARNIVORE CONFIRMED

In the words of a certain starcraft character, "hell, it's about time."

love how you added "Always there" from Lady and the Tramo 2. It really added to the feelings as you both discussed family relationships. Firebrand, glad you are still doing reviews.

I just wanted to tell you that your one of my favorite reviewers. You give so much emotion into the depth of this show and its characters. It makes me see them in a new way and understand how complex they are. You really are able to bring to light a lot of what makes this show good. I also love how you dont just dismis the morals as being for kids. You apply them to your own life and find hidden complexities to them that everyone can relate to. You allow us to see the emotional value of this show and the universal themes it presents. Your awesome.

“Let’s go say hi to senpai” What the heck is that thing!?!? XD

Soooooo. Collabs, eh? Dibs.

this was so amazing! I love watching your videos, I can't wait to see more but I respect that good quality videos take time :3

Anyone else notice Mac wears frilly bloomers under his dress? I just had to point that out.

This episode always hits me in the feels every time. My brother was in the Air Force. He got chaptered out after an issue with alcohol. I haven't gotten to see him in forever. I really miss him. This episode makes me miss him.

Everyone wants senpai to notice them

Ahaha, Markiplier, really?

I would have loved the concept of that “weird judge” actually knowing that Orchard Blossom was Big Mac, and just kinda crushing on him anyway. Either way, even though it wasn’t really needed, it gave me a little giggle at the end. The only thing really weird (or creepy) is just the age difference, and the fact that from a face-to-face perspective the character looks like Beast Boy in the weird Teen Titans reboot.

Firebrand just to point it out you missed a perfect time for the "FAN FIC WRITERS TO YOUR KEYBOARDS" line

Dang. You missed a perfect one. “Covergirl” by Ru Paul.

I'm hoping that Josh will somehow work in a *FLUTTERBOMB!!* for his standard end of video explosions.

"Implying you feel guilt." 😆

JOSH PLZ KEEP FLUTTERBOMB AS A THING!! That's my favorite thing I've ever seen on this channel!! And I LOVE THIS CHANNEL

Is Mr Enter waiting in line?

"He should change his name to Gary and grow wings!" ~Tricky Fox. 2017

Your back!? YEEEEESSS!!!!!!! And hey, now you'd passed Silver Quill at least. But yeah great to see you coming back and hope you can catch up, your stuff is still as amazing and hilarious as always. And yes, the fact everypony knew it was really big Mac, and nopony gave a buck was just so perfect.

Okay y'all need to have an entire video that is just that montage because that is funny as hell

let's go and say hi to senpai

Firebrand: FLUTTERBOMB! Fluttershy: Mother..

This video is brought to you by FLUTTERBOMB!

This is one of my favorite episode. As a big brother I have always believed that my roll as the oldest it was to protect, help, cheer and inspire my youngest siblings. Ever since my little brother was born I made a promise to become the roll model of my brother, sister and cusins; but they had others to look up to. It didn't matter what I do they have been showing little interest in sharing time with me. I hided does emotions for long periods of time but I reach a point where I can help it anymore and collapse in sadness and depression just because I felt like a failure of a big brother; and I really hate to fail to my family, so I just give up. Now in the last two years that I was going to leave my parents house I decided to give it another try. It turned out better than I expected.

cant wait for lily to get triggered and attack josh again

Not gonna lie, I can really relate to this episode as well. I have a little sister and even though we never used to get along, we do now. However, we do have our hiccups, as I feel jealous of my sister's ability to be more social, having a wonderful singing voice and make friends easily along with getting more attention in my eyes, whilst she says she's jealous of me because I have planned out things, constantly improve on my art skills and work so hard, along with supposedly me having more of the attention. Not only that, but my sister has actually said that I have inspired her, saying that I really inspired her to go back to college and not only that, the same college as me and almost all of the same courses I'm taking. It really makes me feel appreciated, not to mention I make sure to tell her that she inspires me with how many amazing ideas she tells me about, knowing that I love to write. So yeah, I can really relate to these feelings. Well, I got a bit sappy there ^^" Oh well, needed to express this. Here's something to lighten the mood though - *FLUTTERBOMB!*

THANK LUNA YOUR BACK

This ep personally hit me hard. I'm the oldest of 5 brothers, but number 2 was always the one who got all the attention and respect from the rest of my little brothers. And was more successful then me.

"Let's go say hi to senPAIII~"

"Definitely shouldn't have made this an open invite."-Mr. Perfect Cell.

guess we're a long way off from your review of A Royal Problem.

This was an awesome review collab. I enjoyed not only the return of Firebrand, but also Tricky Fox's input. Also.....FLUTTERBOMB!!!!!!

FIREBRAND IS BAAAAAACK!!!!!! YAHOOOO!!!!!!

The "FLUTTER BOMB!!!" thing never got old. 10/10 for it

You must get Brawny Buck to collab! That would be awesome.

Honestly this episode made me cry. It was the only one to actually make me cry.

Tricky fox is blasting off again!!!

Oh hey. this channel isn't dead, and it did a good analysis of a good episode. Not a bad way to end the day.

This guy's accent is so thick it is impossible to understand what he's saying at times.

5 months of waiting and staying subscribed has finally payed off. Welcome back!

Finally! It's About Time XD

I was kind of miffed that the judges saw through the disguise the whole time, but let Mac keep stringing himself along, since the disguise was clearly hampering him during the contest.

On the number of festivals they hold: That list isn't so unusual. We (in the US, at least) have at least 10 holidays per year, and that's just the big ones. For a farming community like Ponyville, these would be major social events, and I note that they way they're depicted, most of them cost more effort than money. And it kinda seems like most ponies don't work more than 4-6 hours a day. I chalk that up largely to magical climate control and the like, as it seems like AJ takes in four or five harvests per year.

Hi there! I just wanted to say thank you. Your videos are hilarious, and honestly I was relieved that you were so behind. During the last season of MLP, for a while we weren't able to watch the latest episodes, so coming to RU-vid, particularly being suggested any MLP content ran the constant risk of spoilers, which I personally HATE. So finding your channel, finding your videos covering older seasons, it was a great relief and pure joy. So as frustrating as it seems to have been for you, thank you. I can't wait to see what you do more of in the future! Hope you and Ari have a wonderful day!!

Hey, just wondering: I noticed Closed Captions during the beginning, but none for the rest of the collab. If someone wanted to contribute Closed Captions, how would one go about it?

It seems like tricky pulled that plot joke 😎 out of his arse

1:16 is this foreshadowing of the characters that would be in your collabs or just a random characters?

"Let's go hi say to senpai! Oh senpai where are you! Don't, you be afraid of me~"

IT'S ALIIIIIVE!!!

Joshua's collaborative videos are the best on his channels.

Flutterbomb! The new member of the fandom! As usual, amazing and hilarious work, Firebrand!

Ok, you had me rolling with the darn markiplier reference at the beginning. "Let's go say hi to senpie" haha 😂

Nice touch at the end with the Lady and the Tramp 2 music.

Man, not only was this video heartwarming and insightful, it was so freaking hilarious. I laughed hard at least THREE TIMES throughout this presentation. It was fun to watch. 😎

I'm so glad your back! Seeing this video made my day a million times better😁

It made me realize that I under appreciate my brothers and there’s is even more to relate to if your a military family

I will never understand the controversy around this episode. I loved this episode by the way.

MARKIPONY! Or uhhh Markipony demon? Uh... Markipony 😁

Funny as always, Scorcher. Can't wait for more to come!

So good to see you reviewing MLP again! I really laughed ar the jokes you made!

Although this isn't my favorite episodes (in fact this is one of my least favorites), you have some how managed to like this episode. I am very glad that you're back Firebrand.

1:18 Markiplier is that mean he's going to collab with you Josh

12:35 Keep in mind that it would have been an hour or two later. It's a time skip. She would have a chance to cool down, or maybe Granny talked to her as well.

That was really fun. Also, using "Always There" from Lady and the Tramp II....yeah, that was pretty sweet : )

Glad to have you back firebrand. :)

I'm jealous of your wit and puns. Like, damn, I'm rolling on the floor at times. uber jealous
