Discord’s fondness for role-playing games begins. Glad he, Big Mac, and Spike begin bonding.


This is a great episode. It's nice to see a guys episode. Spike, Big Mac, and Discord make a fantastic dynamic. The game coming to life is pretty cool.

Actually in MLP episode like this is fine, I even liked it, not like in games where everything is about male characters or things or when for a change female character is a main character, she still is so manly, it's starts to be pathetic.


These episodes make me wish I had chaos magic. The only drawback is that I'd probably have to be obnoxious to stay alive.


"twilights friend and Applejack's monosyllabic brother" I think it means he usually only says one syllable, usually "eeyup!"


As DYWTBA_Universe once said: “Smug Fluttershy is best Fluttershy.” I still stand by those words to this day!


Pinkie said she brought yeti food, then when asked for clarification said there is a 'pony eating yeti' on frostfield glacier.  Now my question is, in what order did Pinkie plan to make her friends yeti food if things didn't work out?


Female D&D player here. Your guys' nights are not safe from me, bwahaha!

I want to see the Mane 6 play. Twilight would be a wizard (I find it hard to believe she wouldn't love a game with so many rule books and spells to learn), Fluttershy a druid, and Pinkie a bard for sure.  Rainbow looks like a rogue at the end there, and my first thought would have been fighter but she does have high enough dex to be a rogue. And she did pull off a stealth mission in Tanks for the Memories (though it's hard to tell whether it ended with a nat 1 or a nat 20). Applejack could be the fighter instead, she has earth pony bucking strength and likes the straightforward approach. Rarity is tricky, but I think as a unicorn she should be a caster class, so I propose a warlock who's made her pact with some kind of fey creative muse. Oh, and Starlight can be a sorcerer, since her magic, being tied to her emotions, is more unpredictable than Twilight's.

...When did I reach this level of nerd?

Lol don’t worry about that, you should keep raising your nerd level even higher. Those do seem like pretty accurate roles, though I do wonder if fluttershy would be a Ranger so she could get a pet

@@ponybroiguess384 Ah, you make a fair point. I'd forgotten that druids don't get an animal companion in 5e, which is super weird. They did in 3.5, so I guess Fluttershy's class might depend on the version. Or maybe she multiclasses. Judging by certain episodes, one could even argue that there's a level of barbarian in the mix.

And I'm not worried in the slightest about being a nerd, haha, just teasing myself a little. I love it. Thanks for the reply, it was a pleasant surprise considering that this is an older video. I'm having fun working my way through your reactions.

HeavyMetalMal42 thanks! It’s cool to know people are still watching through them and discovering them even though I’ve finished the series


Fun Fact!:  An Ogre, like a dragon, is a monster from Folklore!
Not-So-Fun Fact!:  An Oubliette was a type of medieval dungeon that was basically a hole in the ground shaped a bit like a bottle, with the entrance being the mouth of the bottle.  A prisoner would be tossed in the hole and, due to its shape, could not get out without aid from the outside.  They were generally left there to starve to death.
The game "Ogres & Oubliettes" was first mentioned in the comics where they directly replaced the words, "Dungeon" to "Oubliette" and "Dragon" to "Ogre", and called it "Oubliettes & Ogres".  The show swapped the order in what I think was the right move.  "Ogres & Oubliettes" just rolls off the tongue better, doncha think?


1:50 Discord: "That's fine.  I wasn't thirsty anyway."
Oh he's thirsty alright!  ;)


Never thought you'd see an episode of My Little Pony about tabletop RPGs, did you? Discord just being Discord made this episode write itself. I get that this isn't a situation typically relatable to the younger female audience, but boy was this a gem of an episode. Also, of course Pinkie Pie is the bard.

Who said this is for litte girls? I am girl and I love many episodes and I am already more than 18.

Well Pinkie and Rainbow are the only girls who are the parts of male nights.


11:00 I just realized that Spike and Discord are sitting in the chairs of each other's waifus.
Could this be some intentional symbolism of the passive-aggression going on here?

Interesting observation! :><br>But it kinda makes me think what could it mean that Big Mac is sitting in Rainbow Dash's chair :q  Hmm....

@@bonbonpony well rainbow dash did say she wanted in on big mac's sword soo...


Notice how Big Mac seems to have a strong affinity toward unicorns? Let's just say this comes up again somewhere next season. Hehe.

Didn't we already see a hint of that last season, in Do Princesses Dream...?<br>Big Mac imagined himself a unicorn is his dreams.

Big Mac imagined himself a unicorn is his dreams.

Can't blame him. He is the most weak type of pony. No wonder that he would like to be unicorn.


4:29 "Fluttershy, stop being smug!  I'm gonna come!"
To tea?


This is definitely one of my favorite episodes of season 6.  It's got some great writing!  They did a good job with the little details as well, such as how Captain Wuzz still has parsnip claws by the very end. XD


As a D&D player and a fantasy nerd, I thought this episode was absolutely awesome.

On my first viewing; I kept screaming "I WANNA PLAY" in my head, when the guys were playing...especially during the end sequence.

My game character would be a half-orc Barbarian Forge-Master/Blacksmith known as Stoneback the Solid

Wow, way to make my D&D character sound lame as Hell

@@sadlobster1 a half-orc barbarian forge-master/blacksmith called Stoneback the Solid. That's such an awesome character!

@@trish7048 Thank you...but what is your character like

@@sadlobster1 lol she's a gnome monk named Nyx. Not nearly as cool

@@trish7048 You can add a secondary class to your character, to make her stand out a bit more

@@sadlobster1 maybe I will. I made her when I was new to D&D lol


“Imagination.” This has Spongebob written all over it. 😉

Also, Discord struggling to say he's sorry has Squidward written all over it.

FusionOmni Exactly what I was gonna say!

FusionOmni I never thought of that, lol!


Sassyshy is amazing. Again.

And also Discord/Spike/Big Mac is a trifecta that has no right to work as well as it does. Really, really good episode.


Fun fact: In the MLP comics Shining armor & Twilight like to play O & O (But i don't remember which comic it was specifically where twilight played).

Edit: I just remembered it was the comic "Neigh Anything" where shining played the game because of the fan song.

You re not quet right. This was a comics about how shining armor and cadence fall in love on each other. Shining played in D & D with his nerdy school friends.


Your commentary jokes always crack me up.


Monosyllabic. It means that someone speaks using one syllable. Like Big Mac “eeyup”


This episode was really fun! Great reaction


fluttershy was barely in the episode but she left an impression(the intro was glorious).<br>I really enjoyed your commentary here, you know the game and could get into it.

9:15 "Is that Celestia hair cat?"
I guess you could say it's Celestia's... well, you know.  ;)


0:38 "Every single time Fluttershy is in a quest, I always go try and talk to her and like, end up marrying Fleur-- I don't care."
Wait, did you say marrying Fleur de Lis?  How the heck do you start out aiming for Fluttershy and end up stealing Fancy Pants's mate instead???

Reminds me how one of my friends once was building a tank from LEGO Technic bricks and the end result turned out to be a helicopter :J

Eh, just call it a hovertank and it's all good  :)

@@Narrator007 Now when I think of it, there actually <i>is</i> a tank that is also a helicopter in MLP :D  It's Rainbow Dash's pet tortoise ;)

@@Narrator007 Now when I think of it, there actually _is_ a tank that is also a helicopter in MLP :D  It's Rainbow Dash's pet tortoise ;)


I actually created mane 6 in my Baldur's Gate game xD


Yo, in case you read these. I've been watching your reactions daily (because they're awesome), then the Totally Legit Recaps for each. I thought you should know that the TLR for this episode contains a small clip from the EQG 4 movie. It's not really a "spoiler" as such, less than 5 seconds without audio, just be aware of it. That said, I'm going to recommend that you watch the TLR before you watch the season 6 finale, because reasons.

(For those of you wondering how it could be in DWK's reaction on Sept. 1, 2016 when the movie wasn't released until Oct. 1, I did some digging and found the clip in a "sneak peek" video published Aug. 9. Yes, I'm that big of a nerd.)


I thought the exact same thing!!! Also, I saw the pony versions of Josephine Baker and Betty Boop. In addition to that, the music used for Discord's entrance was very inspired by the 90s dance hit Get Ready For This.


Anyone who doesn't like Dungeons & Dragons either had a bad DM, played it wrong/didn't understand, or never played it. It can be litterally anything and is so fun. I miss playing, unfortunately COVID keeps my D&D group apart :(

Though if I could actually play how Discord has it set up, that would be awesome

@@trish7048 Well I am girl but this game looks cool. I can play it with my girlfriends.

@@Icy-be5vl lol it's not just for boys. I'm not a boy XD

Just find a good group and have fun!

@@trish7048 I thought you are because Trish, I though it's more a male name but ok sorry and this game could be actually a good break beetwen shopping for dresses and high heels and beetwen girly parties, thanks

@@Icy-be5vl lol it's short for Tricia [said Trisha].

But yeah definitely try it out! :)


14:15 I don't understand why people have misconception that girls don't like D&D I'm female and I play when ever I get the chance


Is fluttershy your favorite pony from the mane 6 or what? xD I absolutely love her! Shes definitely my favorite, shes a lot like me~

I can answer that for him.  Fluttershy is his favorite out of every living creature in this fictional universe.

@@Narrator007 I thought so! But who doesnt like fluttershy?^^

@@Pastelitten People who are sick of her being scared so easily but she is enough girly so I could like her but I know people who doesn't like her for this prank episode about Rainbow.


01:28 If you want to marry Fluttershy, you have a tough competitor right there ;>
02:14 Remember when Spike was talking about Hoofball night with Big Mac in S5 premiere? ;>
02:32 Ponies in G major :)  I bet Wobniar is from this dimension :J
05:09 Unless they're strippers :g
05:20 Oh, I'm pretty sure if Rarity wanted to know, you will be singing like a canary right now ;>
05:50 Every non-Brony when Bronies are around :)
07:28 So Discord is now Ouroboros? :q  (the mythical snake of time who is eating its own tail)
07:55 Hey, that's Round Trip's shtick! :J  BTW when you finish with DWK, I recommend you to react to "MLP In A Nutshell" series ;D  It's one heck of a funky retarded parody of episodes ;)
08:25 JOHN CENA!!! :D
10:15 That's the entire premise of this episode :q
11:08 Interesting, because Big Mac first turned into a Unicorn in his dream in "Do Princesses Dream Of Magic Sheep" :> Looks like his dreams are consistent.
13:01 Twenty-sided? Pfft! Discord can roll a 96-sided octaplex in fourth dimension ;J
13:20 I thought you're an archer, not a wizard? :q
14:14 A little girl who is a D&D fan? :J  I could ask the same question about the perfectly correct derivation of the time dilation formula from General Relativity on Twilight's blackboard in "It's About Time" – what little girl wants to spot an error in relativity equations and make poor Einstein cry? :q
14:50 Who wouldn't? ;> It was a pony version of Josephine Baker, a famous vaudeville dancer who often performed in a suit made of bananas ;) (hence her bananas cutie mark)
15:05 10% chocolate milk, 90% booze ;)
15:10 This is a reference to that famous painting of dogs playing poker by C.M. Coolidge ;)
16:16 He could have made the game real, and what did he do? He created a real ruse of the game with cardboard cutouts :\
16:52 No wonder Discord didn't like the game at first: he's more of a Game Master type :J
18:18 That's one of the mistakes many game developers do: they confuse realism with reality. Games are not supposed to be real. They are supposed to be realistic enough to be believable and fun, but not as realistic so that it resembled reality. If players wanted reality, they would... well... live it in the real world :q  Too much realism can actually kill the fun. Imagine playing Super Mario with 100% realistic laws of physics and feeling the pain every time you smash a block with your head. That would suck, wouldn't it? :P
19:07 And that was the moment Discord realized he's a nolife :q
19:19 Hearing that from a pair of nerds playing D&D... you know you reached the rock bottom ;D

Girly nights are much better and more interesting.


I’m starting a Tails of Equestria campaign tonight! I’m the GM


Twilight is princess and has wings and a castles


I like how this episode is basically "introducing D&D to 6 year old girls".

We had a dark shadow king before, dark Lord, how this is for litte girls?

MLP since 4 season isn't for little girls anymore and it's good. I am sick of this manly games or weirdo games like Life is Strange or fairy tales for 5 year girls.


Squidzwerd - Squidward from Spongebob

I Hope i spelled them right


11:55 I can’t tell if he’s serious & that kind of concerns me


5:15 you see next to spike a floating twilight mane why didn't you see that


Idc what ppl say, I love this episode :))

Do a lot of people hate this episode? Because the only one I’ve ever seen is DWK, and he hates <i>all</i> Discord episodes.

Although I like Discord, this episode was really dissapointing because for me Discord wasn't good. I felt that he was acting like a smartass. I get that he's som sort of troll but not in this episode.

PS: LORD SASSYSHY STRIKES AGAIN!!!!!!!!!!!.


Discord is evil he wanted to make pony's lose there persanalaty


Best name Discord? I don't think so. I would say that my name is the best but come on, no one can have better name than my friend. ROXY💖💖. This name is so girly and badass in the same time.

Roxy is pretty girly and good but Icy is the best name ever.

boombeartree, open his channel and look at the subsription button, there should be a bell picture nearby. Click the bell, and it should show you the settings for notifications. It might be that you only have it set for occasional or none. It has to be set for "all" if you wish to get all notifications.
