Discord: "Please don't let them come over. Please don't let them come over"
Me: *my mind literally every time I see a popular person looking at me*
Discord can really be a pain in the neck, but he's still a good guy. We can think Fluttershy for that.
Yes he is good. Discord just has many things to learn.
@@princesslightningstrike4592 Sadly in the finale he puts the whole world in danger to test twilight meaning he deliberately went back on all the lessons he learned
@@millerkarageanes1562 That's Hasbro's fault.
@@princesslightningstrike4592 yeah they were the ones who wrote it
@@millerkarageanes1562 I wouldn't say that. Discord had a contingency plan if things got too out of hand. He would basically Thanos snap them into Tartarus. Unfortunately, he didnt expect them to take his powers. He didnt go back on his lessons, he just has an....interesting way of getting twilight ready to rule Equestria.
Best.Discord.Entrance.Ever.
I loved it too!
It seems.
Discord has a class. I love it.
I need to admit him that.
No kidding
They should do more episodes like this one and power ponies, because its the perfect oppertunity to do adventures and fun stories that normally wont fit into the pony world setting.
Aprion i agree!
Aprion I agree
Aprion I agree
Agreed
I agree.
22:42, references from left to right:
Pinkie: don't have a clue
Spike: A wizard from Harry Potter
Discord: Legolas from The Lord Of The Rings
Big Mac: The main character from Skyrim
RD: The main character from Assassins Creed
Marin Depuntis Finally someone realized the references
Marin Depuntis finally
I think Pinkie could have been a callback to the ponies from when they were talking about how Equestria was made.
Marin Depuntis Isn't Spike a reference to Gandalf or Radagast.
Wow
I always love it when they give nods to continuity with the references to past episodes. Pinkie talking about the "yeti" creature that chased her when she went to Yakyakistan, Spike and Big Mac having guy days when the Mane Six are out like they mentioned in The Cutie Map, Discord reminiscing on "games" like trapping ponies in hedge mazes and turning them against each other, Big Mac still fantasizing about being a unicorn like in his dreams when they fought the Tantabus, and so on and so forth. It's not like they're huge, game-changing scenes or anything, but it's still really fun to see them slipping in little details like that.
This wasn't the absolute best episode in the season by any means, but it was definitely a fun one.
^^This. Agree on all counts. XD
13:45 There's something ironic about Discord getting mad at a *chaos burst table*
When Discord says sorry I think of Squidward.
Captain America: I understood that reference
Once again, points to Fluttershy in this season! Her personality is winning me over, more than usual. She certainly has a knack for reining in Discord like a boss. Haha! XD "Opposite Fluttershy" made me jump and quiver at the same time but, that was hilarious! Being able to see Spike and Big Mac spend time together was a nice callback from the S5 premiere. It would have been nice to go with the mane 6 and explore Yakyakistan, seems like we may be missing out on some big things considering there was a friendship summit at Griffonstone a couple of episodes ago don't you think? This was a very good episode, it kinda dragged on a bit in the middle; but I still had a good time watching this(an amusing reaction too😉).
Yeah, they spent way too much time on Discord's entrance and him getting bored over the game, definitely some pacing issues. Still some fantastic character growth for Discord though. Oh, and yeah, would be nice to get a the-other-side-of-the-coin episode showing the Mane 6's trip to Yakyakistan, but I kinda doubt we will.
Seeing opp. Fluttershy makes me say "WTF now I know her deepest thoughts about everypony"
I love these three.
the game was Ogres and Oubliettes... an Oubliette, is a prison in old french. So, it really is a take on Dungeons and Dragons. Seems Discord is finding teamwork to be fun there at the end. :)
Thanks for the info.
Wow, nice info. Very nice touch on the writers' part.
Actually, they probably took that title from the IDW comics. Shining Armor and his buddies played Ogres and Oubliettes in high school.
Those who have seen Labyrinth know that 'oubliette' means 'a place of forgetting'. It is a special prison meant to put someone you never want to see again -- aka a dungeon, yes. The only real difference is that people get out of prison, not so much an oubliette (they are also generally solitary confinement).
Hence the story of 'The Man in the Iron Mask', which dungeon was an oubliette.
I found this episode very entertaining. I especially liked the Josephine Baker pony reference and seeing Big Mac's reaction to what Discord's idea a "Guy's Night" was. Definitely appropriate for a fully grown stallion like Big Mac & Discord too being thousands of years old, but for Spike, who is still a child, I can see him not being as interested as Big Mac like in the episode and care more about playing the game. I got a feeling that if Spike wasn't there Big Mac would've taken Discord on his offer to see showmares, drink, and go swing dancing. I did feel Discord's pain when Spike said he felt sorry for him. But he did need to be checked for his behavior. And I agree, Spike is growing a lot and getting more character development. That line about him being respected by everyone I felt was intentional. Spike is being treated with a lot more respect this season compared to the earlier ones.
And I do hope they bring the concept of Equestria's new allies coming together to protect the nation in the season finale. But I dunno, we'll have to see.
This episode was very fun, enjoyable, and has plenty rewatch value. Nick Confalone has written so many great episodes, I love everything he's written so far and he's solidly becoming one of my favorite writers. (^w^)
Great commentary as always, Applegeek Sir. Take care
'Did you see Big Mac's sword?' A new meme is born.
Mauricio Merida "i totaly want it!!" xD
Lawl
OH GOD XDDD
22:50 Starlight? She was probably taking a day off and having a Girls Night out with Trixie. :D
Cro the Stray they partied waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay too much
I mean it's like no one cares or anything 😒
@@arbisplaat4577 i care shes my fav
@@oncepinkatryn_ oh ok
@@arbisplaat4577 :)
You know, as I watched the episode and a few of my favorite reactions again I couldn't help pondering this question: Is Fluttershy good at shooting down immature nonsense from Discord because she's been dealing with Zephyr Breeze for so many years, or did she learn to deal with immature nonsense from Zephyr Breeze because she had to learn how to deal with Discord? Either way, I love what they've done with Fluttershy this season. She's still panicky/anxious about certain things, but you can really see how much she's grown over the series. And seeing her go full on Super Sassy when she has to act like a big sister to characters like Zephyr and Discord is a real treat. The awesome facial expressions don't hurt either. Whatever people might think about the episodes overall, I don't think anyone can deny that the animation crew has been doing one hell of a job in season six.
...Also, as a side note, Discord really seemed to enjoy poking fun at Celestia in this episode. I wonder if maybe someone is holding a bit of a grudge for taking Fluttershy off to Yakyakistan without him. Then again, maybe he just remembers that she's the only pony who actually ENJOYED his particular brand of comedy when he crashed the last Gala at her invitation, and it's all done in good humor. Honestly, someday I'd really like to have an episode where we get to see more interaction between Discord, Celestia, and Luna. There's got to be some great comedy material there.
I think the entire fandom collectively agrees that there needs to be a slice of life episode for Celestia and Luna. Having Discord make an appearance in that could be priceless, but even without that, it could still be awesome. I doubt we'll get it this season, the way things are looking, but hopefully they have it in the works for next season.
Regarding Fluttershy's increased assertiveness, I'm not sure you can credit either Discord or Zephyr alone for it. I think it's the result of lots of experiences she's had throughout the show. I will, however, toss out the idea that Discord has been behaving himself and hanging around them long enough that he's become a fairly close friend, to the point of being sort of like family. If so, that could perhaps explain why she's more easily able to deal with his shenanigans the same way she dealt with Zephyr Breeze, because it's somebody she knows well enough to be that confident around. Regardless, of the reason, I LOVE seeing this side of her! XD
The intro of the episode is my favorite intro in the series. FS and discord have such an interesting dynamic.
I have a feeling that Discord and Celestia were friends back before he turned evil
That's cannon for me
*cough* daughter of discord *cough*
@@mr.minebloxdaylighttwinkle442 I like her headcanon backstory, but they haven’t shown anything canon, too bad MLP ended
Good theory.
The writers said that they weren't completely sure what to do with Starlight until about the middle of Season 5. Seeing how many episodes take a long time from conception to when it airs, it's possible that she wasn't written in because they didn't know if she'd be there or not. It might've been too late to make any changes to the scripts. The episodes she's in were probably written after they finalized Starlight's role in everything.
If nothing happens to her in the season finale, then I hope she's written in a lot more episodes, whether it's focused on her or not.
That actually is an excellent point. It's possible that given the timing of things, her story arc for this season was finalized after some of the episode scripts were already finalized with no mention of her. Still wish they could have worked that stuff out more quickly, but I get it, stuff happens.
With a reality warper like Discord, it took them THIS long to make a reference to The Mask?
I get the feeling Discord and The Mask would definitely enjoy a night out together.
The movie/cartoon version of the Mask I mean.
The comic book version seems more like Bill Ciphers kind of guy to hang out with.
9:14 Discord gets weirder and weirder in every minute 😆
at 20:43 when Discord was trying to say sorry, was that a Spongebob squarepants reference (when squidward tries to say sorry to spongebob)?
it seems like it, but I'm not too sure about that.
Could it be said in the last scene Rainbow was a dashing rouge? Sorry couldn't resist.
Nice! XD
Yes, I did.
It could also be interpreted that Pinkie was a gypsy bard. Possible nod to Friendship is Witchcraft? Unlikely, but possible.
Applegeek "Is pinkie a bard?"
Me... "PINKIE IS A GYPSY!!!"
And Pinkie Pie is Astérix! Lol!
Asterix? Never heard of it.
Reva Slatts bleh
Reva Slatts it’s a French comic, the most translated comic character in the world (not kidding, it has been translated in Latin as well...), about a Gaul village resisting Caesar’s invasion thanks to a magic potion that makes them invincible. It’s incredibly funny, especially to Europeans, because it turns the ancient populations living in here into stereotypes of modern locals (Gauls are stereotypes of the French, Romans of the Italians, Goths of the Germans, Bretons of the British, you get the idea). I grew up with the Italian translations, which was amazing too, but, since I studied French, I can say that reading it in the mother tongue is an absolute blast.
Each of these characters represent 1 of the 5 warrior classes in dark-age games:
Spike=wizard
Discord= archer
Big Mac=warrior
Pinkie pie = bard
Rainbow dash= thief
Actually, the club they are teleported by Discord is an obsious reference to the Coco Bongo, the club for The Mask movie, discord suit too.
Just because of Big Mac's body color, every time he says "Oh yeah" I end up visualizing him as the 'Kool-Aid Pony'. I think I just made myself cringe.
ROTFL!
It thought that"ponyville won't paint itself red" was a reference from Pony.Mov
"Applejack's monosyllabic brother"
Oh man, I just spat coffee all over my monitor hahahaha
RIP monitor
@@Brayden-Wyatt Eeeyup!
the orange suit discord is wearing is that a reference to the mask?
Yes, yes it is.
Jessica Adamski ooo so that's wiy it look'd familiar
Jessica Adamski Yup the second time seeing this Im thinking so too
Jessica Adamski yes thank you so much for realizing that
Ssssmokinnnn!
Dislestia and Fluttercord in the same episode, what more could you need in an episode
Discord obviously picked the wrong class for his character in the game everything he tried to do was in the class of mage yet he was an archer
Rainbow Dash's costume. # Assassin's Creed reference
Rouge Class rather than Thief, i'd say, but probably not Assassin's Creed, no (it might still be, but probably not).
It's was just another dungeons and dragons reference.
I thought Assassin's Creed as well, but I wasn't sure if that was accurate, so decided to skip over that. Looking at it later, I think it was more of a rogue/thief thing in relation to role playing games.
That last shot of the episode was absolutely amazing!
omg i just realized... "Did you see bic macs sword?! i want in!" dear god! writers think before you write! O.O
Not everyone has a dirty mind ... like me, and I didn't think like that when I first heard the comment, she just wanted to join the fun.
ya ik ik XD
I actually thought it looks like Cloud's Buster Sword
SuperFilipino64
So did a few others, but it really doesn't, as the Buster sword is bigger, and its tip is a 7 rather than a >.
uh..? ok lol
Opposite Fluttershy has the changeling colour scheme
Jim Carey in Zoot suit in the movie "The Mask"
I thought that might have been a The Mask reference, wasn't sure though, because he didn't actually have on the green mask.
no prob, fellow Brony
I feel like if it were up to Discord, he'd lock Fluttershy in a bird cage forever.
i think that ending was one of th best endings so far but thats just me!!!!! TOO FUNNY!!
rainbow dash looks like an assasin when she went into the game and pinkie looks like those people that make Kings and Queens happy i forgot what they were called
TNTmaster
their called bards or jesters uwu
Ravensie sorry i coundn't remember
"Does it really say that, let me see."
Technically speaking, that dialogue doesn't exist in a tabletop RPG manual (that I know of.) However...the Dungeon Master is essentially, the storyteller of the game's world.
So, while the player can do whatever they want. The DM can say whatever he/she wants to help with the story.
So...sorry, Discord but the laughing guards thing stays
Welllll......the player can do whatever they want within reason. Trying to do something like killing a fellow party member may be banned depending on the DM
@@demosthenes995 Would you consider what Spike did to Discord legal within the game
my uncle is so good at making stories and I'm a elf wizard I LOVE DUNGEONS AND DRAGONS
Dragons, sirens and wampires are my favorite creatures.
i already have the best name in the universe, why would i change it for something like..Captain Wuzz---best line from discord ever. if i had his name i would feel the same way!!!! GO DISCORD!!!!!
I personally think the writers missed a golden opportunity to throw in a Q reference there, with his character name, but oh well.
I wonder if why Discord calls Celestia Kay-Kay because of her voice acted? I don't even know her voice actor.
I think the writers were looking for a good excuse to use angry Fluttershy again.
Perhaps, but I'm glad they did. One of the best moments of this episode. XD
I agree
Did... Anyone else get a Different idea when RD said "Did you see big Mac's Sword!? I totally want in!". Or is it just me?
What a fantastic episode for reactions! This is going to be a week to remember.
I was sure there were references in that jazz club I was totally oblivious to. I just didn't have time to research them. Thanks for the info!
+Applegeek Discord is funny
8:58 AND THEN THE SHIPPING'S BEGIN AGAIN!
Also, I'd love to see an episode where Discord meets Starlight.
Yep, still waiting for that one myself. XD
Where and Back Again
Wait, Discord has a cat that looks like Celestias mane and tail. Uh, Shipping reference?
This episode was a gold mine for shippers. Fluttercord, Dislestia, and Sparity...ugh. XD
starlight was with trixie hanging out with her having a girls night in canterlot aha XD. im just spittballing their
Too bad we could never see that girls night.
10:35 Anyone eels who thought about Richard Kiel at the sight of Discord´s mouth?
2:27 - Did he just say, "Da-de-la"?
6:31 - So can I! And the image is scary!
8:38 - I'd pay to go there!
13:39 - Big Mac spoke a word that wasn't "Yup" or "Nope"! It's a miracle!
The winter outfits have been used before. Remember Tanks for the memories? :)
D'oh, I completely forgot about that! I've seen the season 5 episodes probably the least of any of the seasons, really should re-watch those again soon.
Is Rainbow's outfit at the end an Assassin's Creed reference?
Discord is hilarious in this episode
At 13:59 XD Big Macs reaction though
Going back to something said about the first couple seasons, the episodes aren't necessarily shown, or written, in chronological order. This could be from before the season opener, explaining the absence of Starlight.
4:11 That ain't gonna work Discord, I know how you are
That Game is really reminding me on that Game from the Gravity Falls Episode.
It's so sweet to see Discord having fun and being accepted 🥺❤️
I was so waiting to watch you react to this XD, Pony Creed Assassin Dash is Now Canon if you look at it that way :D.
Eh, I avoided making that reference because I wasn't sure it was accurate. I think it was more of a reference to a class of character in the game itself, not specifically Assassin's Creed. Still was fun to see though. Btw, did you see the way Dash was eyeing Pinkie when she transformed into her gypsy bard outfit? I swear she was thinking "What the...nevermind, it's just Pinkie Pie." XD
8:57 Discord what is wrong with you? 😂😂😂😂😂😂
THEY SHOULD MAKE AN EPISODE ABOUT THEM BEING IN THE GAME, INCLUDING DASH AND PINKIE AND MAKE THEM SOLVE A MISSION OR SOMETHING IT WOULD BE AWESOME
2:27-2:36 Why??? Discord what the.... It's Discord, I shouldn't question it probably because he's just as random as Pinkie Pie 😂😂 And damn Fluttershy!!! She really got triggered there XD
I would love to see discord spike and big mac actually paint the town red.
When Discord was in the suit at that club it was a "The Mask" reference. He even used a trophy just like the Mask gave himself. For those that do not know "The Mask" is a older 90's movie with Jim Carey and Cameron Diaz. Jim Carey's character, Stanley Ipkiss, puts on a old wooden, norse, and magical mask and it transform him into a crazy almost cartoon character with cartoon abilities in the real world and makes him pretty invincible. Great classic movie that even had a cartoon adaption and a second movie "Son of the Mask", but honestly that movie wasn't that good in my opinion.
Ahh, so it definitely was a reference to The Mask then. I hesitate to call out references I'm not sure about, and the lack of a green face made me uncertain on this one. It's been so long since I've seen the movie, I had forgotten about the trophy.
+Applegeek Yeah, I had to think a minute on it too but when he started to dance and then used trophy I remembered. I really liked the movie lol. It's always cool when the reference pop culture and older movies ha
The trio of discord, spike and big mac is awesome.
And this is why you shouldn't, and yet I want, to play D&D with Q as my DM...
8:19 I screamed at this because I thought of space jam too and didnt expect you to mention it- LOONEY TUNES IS MY FAVE THING EVER ALONG WITH MLP (cuz of Discord LOL)
honestly, I was half-expecting a Stranger Things homage
That were my 500 pleying cards being for the last month 11:06
does anyone think big Mac need more lines?
yup.
Yes. He definitely needs.
Even though i like when he speaks, I would have to go with, "Nope"
Applejack's Dog (Winona) has disappeared, too... :(
Owlicious, Angel, Winona, Gummy and Tank and Rarity's cat Opal have all pretty much disappeared as well, I hope that they show up again soon though.
And Twilights owl whose name I don't know how to spell.😞
it's Owlowiscious
Yeah, I've been waiting for another pet episode. Starlight needs a pet now. XD
haha XD
Zoot suit riot!
I wanted to see Spike in one of those. XD Maybe somebody will do a fan art of that.
4:23 that eye brow raise tho😏
I feel like the reason Starlight may not be in this episode is because she is probably out traveling with Trixie and performing with her.
I would love to see that.
I love the part when Discord made the game real.
15:08 the scene in up where the kid slides his face to the window and sees the dogs playing cards
The "dun dun dun dun dun dun dUNN" killed me XD
Its not just the writers, the animators could easily cameo her with no lines but they don't. Lazy, just lazy. This was a fun little Ep, I want this as its not game irl. XD Fans! DO IT!
4:42 It was a reference to that giant yeti looking beast that Pinkie Pie ran into when she was traveling to yakyakistan. (Party Pooped)
22:54 Discord probably turned her into the princess they should rescue xD
Dungeons ad Dragons-This is based off of.
Apple geek: I did not see that coming
Me: agreed
Discord is so relatable HEELLLPP 😅 "don'tletthemcomeoverplease" poor thing!
Right?
also fun fact: the name for the game they where playing is actually the first thing from the comics that was ever made cannon on the show!neat huh?
I remember playing alone in the dark 2 via dosbox when I was 8 years old 24/7!!!)))
Oh, and Apple, the reference you were missing was the whole Jim Carrey's "The Mask" movie, with the CoCo Bongo Casino/Night Club and the way Discord was dressed. Which in my opinion was a perfect fit, because in that movie the Norse god of Mischief (aka Chaos), Loki, is the being imprisoned in the mask. And whoever puts it on gets taken over by him and does hilarious crazy things. I always loved that movie. :D
Yeah, I wondered about The Mask, but given the lack of the green face, I wasn't sure. I've become hesitant to call out references that I'm not completely sure about, because it's seems like more often than not I'm wrong, and I hate having those mistakes stuck in video for forever. XD
Oh now I remember this reference. National lampoon Christmas vacation. The father’s boss
It's like the episode too many pinkies, but with discord.
have you noticed that Spike is sitting in discord's lovers seat and discord is in Spike's. Spike is in Fluttershy seat and discord is in Rarity seat.
Talking with my daughter about this episode & I remembered on my Sims Medieval game I made Rainbow Dash an assassin and Pinkie a bard. And this was back in January lol 😁😜
Did....did Fluttershy just say...a goodwill trip to Afghanistan?! (well a different way of saying the name, like Manehatten but still) Dude...MLP just got REAL.
Well it's confined fokes, squidward finally snapped
19:27 yeah, like lyra and bon bon and derpy and doctor whooves and all the other awesome ponies!
He doesn't call Celestia kay-kay he calls her June. Or Jude I didn't hear it properly.
Discord is clearly extroverted while Big Macs introverted
this will swarm so many fan stories,or dungeons and dragons with ponys
14:48,is Josephine Baker?
This episode is okay not one of my favorites, and i'm probably going to get some hate for this and I'm sorry, but I'm not much of a Discord fan I do like his character just not that much and i don't really care for dungeons and dragons, nice reaction as always.
No worries, everyone has their own opinion. I don't care for that game either, and know very little about it.
4:50 so that creature in party pooped that cut Pinkys hair when she met it is a yeti?........good to know
21:49 oh wow haha discord has is legoles
Really. He looks more like Mega Bloks-les
Most likely
