My girlfriend has never seen the show, that's kind of my point. You might also want to consult this video:Bvenged said:

I would probably show her this to get here a little more interested, it may help.
As to which episodes to try after that, I'm not sure. MLP doesn't have a particularly fast pacing in most episodes. I would recommend the "Return of Harmony" episodes, but they're not exactly good representatives for the rest of the show. Great episodes though.
Bridle Gossip comes to mind, probably the one who made me laugh the most. Swarm of the Century is another good episode, though it starts a litte slow.
You know, the one I would recommend is episode 21, Over a Barrel, that's probably my favourite episode. It has good pacing, some great moments and Pinkie Pie breaking the 4th wall.

I watched the show. Kind of liked it, but I loved the first two episodes in season 2. Mainly because I'm a Star trek fan (John De Lancie is an actor that should never be out of work). Though it does sort of play on established character traits so maybe not 100% ideal as a first episode.
Then again there's not much series continuity. Just pick an episode. Like the one where Pinkie Pie goes insane.

Watching it now and I just realized I had forgotten how much I actually like that episode.Glass Joe the Champ said:Mmk, watch this and tell me how it goestippy2k2 said:

I would recommend that you either show her that one, or "Over A Barrel".
And if she thinks Rarity is a ***** after watching "Sonic Rainboom", then show her "Art of the Dress" or "A Dog and a Pony Show"!
Alright, there wasn't much to choose from since most people said Episode X of Season X so I'll go with the one linked to me and posted a few times, Sonic Rainbow.
I guess I'll be back in 22:03 to let you know if you've converted someone or not...

Here's the thing... if you go into the show prepared to dislike it, you will dislike it. End of story. Same is true for everything, but especially true for this, because there are very specific reasons that people use to dislike the show. Specifically, the fact that it's for little girls means they will go into the show just looking for a girly scene to hate. They will get one, no matter what episode they choose, and will then proceed to "hate" the show no matter how much of it they watch. This is why "Just try it!" is and will always be an invalid argument.
On another note: Sonic Rain-boom is an awesome episode. Or anything with the Cutie-mark Crusaders.

Ok, I'm not a brony, but since when was it cool to segregate your thread from others? Not cool man. Not cool.Glass Joe the Champ said:
Alright, I'm back after watching "Rainbow Dash"...
and I still don't get what the big deal is. The episode itself wasn't terribly funny (though moments did make me smile). The story and the jokes were terribly predicable (boy, we just got this room cleaned up! I sure hope no one flies in and knocks everything over!). Lastly, I don't think there's ever been a character that I wanted to punch then the one with those butterfly wings.
Granted, I recognize it's a kids show but when MLP fans are making it sound like the second coming of Christ and He brought everyone a magic box that never runs out of Krispy Kreams that don't affect your waistline, it's going to disappoint.
I'm not exactly the target audience but there are plenty of "kids" shows I love. Animaniacs and Powerpuff girls (PPG certainly being a "girly" cartoon) were two I loved growing up. Today, Fairly Odd Parents is one I find chuckle worthy but this just wasn't doing it. Great if you like it and I can feel alright critiquing it now that I've given an episode a shot.

Oh, good, for a second there I thougth you were talking about the one with the pink mane ("hair") and yellow coat ("skin"), that has three butterflies on her flank ("...rear end"). If you're talking about the white one... Wait, I love her too...
But in all seriousness, all those ponies have wonderful personalities and you've got to admit the animation was awesome. Yeah, it's kind of predictable (Though I DOUBT you had predicted Fluttershy would have gone full-cheermode on the end) and I can see why you found it not really funny at times, because it's more centered on slapstick comedy and a bit of cuteness involved (So if you're impervious to cuteness, give up.).
However, I DO want to show you one scene and one scene only.
Good one. I laughed.Glass Joe the Champ said:
OP: To respond seriously, the first two episodes.
Whichever thread came second, bravo.
Well, the question is only relevant to people who know all the episodes. I'm not trying to segregate, but unless you have something to add other than "This show sucks" or "I don't know this show at all", there's not much reason to post here...EvilPicnic said:
