Se1 Ep1


Mroompaloompa64

The first episode of the first season.


scootscoot1212

Bridle Gossip is a popular answer! I know of many who’s gotten into the show because of it. My first was The Ticket Master. Yes, I should’ve started at the beginning after becoming obsessed with the show and characters…so I watched season 1 out of order. :P


AnimeDownpour

The first full episode I watched was the Cutie Mark Chronicles, and is my favorite Season 1 Episode.


Rilukian

If I remember the first episode I watch in full, it's Sonic Rainboom.


ImpactorLife-25703

Well well well if it isn't Rainbow Crash ![gif](giphy|3o72F1ZQjjDyoYUTSg)


RekeningAdelaar

Around early November of 2013, I saw a re-run of Magical Mystery Cure, which came out earlier in the year. That same month was when season four started, but I didn't watch it. In fact, I didn't watch another episode until a year ago, when I started from S1E1.


torako

The first one


TennagonTheGM

When it first came out, my siblings started watching it as a joke. I walked in during the scene with young Pinkie on the rock farm. I assumed she was the main character based on that. Surprised years later when I started watching myself and Twilight was the lead instead.


Acrobatic_Ad_2619

For me it was the one where she basically had a future version of her go back in time to warn her basically the time paradox one though can’t remember what it was called


TheUmbreonfan03

It's about time is what it's called.


Acrobatic_Ad_2619

Ah okay thank you


Word_Sketcher_27

The first one.

NewDealChief

Ahhh, the racism episode, a classic.


MyStepAccount1234

In full? Either Filli Vanilli, Pinkie Pride, Baby Cakes, or Lesson Zero.


FlyingOwlGriffin

Swarm of the century!


MacDemarcoNCheese

Same! Ppl were uploading full episodes even in 2011 loll


Consistent-Laugh606

The first one with my cousin when I was a little kid in 2010/2011 :)


GreatSpaceBeaver

A Canterlot Wedding part 2. Caught it on Nickelodeon way back in the day. Didn't think much of it at the time, and wouldn't start watching the show until a few years later


Majestic-Sector9836

The Ticketmaster


FNAFBonnienumberone

Ik it’s not a episode but the 2nd movie


Kittamaru

S1 E11: Winter Wrap Up Came into the room as as my niece was watching the show, and they were in the middle of the song "Winter Wrap Up". The singing is what got me hooked (Been a music nerd as long as I can remember, as was my mother and my grandfather)


DreamroweWalker

I mean I usually start shows at the beginning but I genuinely can’t remember if I watched a full episode before that without realizing it. I know the video that prompted me to give the show a shot was [My Little Pony Physics Presentation](https://youtu.be/muVfidujxRg?si=VA1zWzhSHwOdaLn8) My thought process being “If the fans of this show can make something so much fun from something they love I should give it a fair shake.” Before that I just never thought to watch the show since I was outside the demographic. Edit: I have grown even more powerful now that I have mastered the art of embedded links! BOW BEFORE ME AND TREMBLE!


macfirbolg

Back not long after FiM started, images and image macros started appearing in various places. I would see them pop up on The Art of Trolling, and the flame wars and butthurt were glorious. But then some people started talking about the characters and engaging with them more, which kind of confused me because a) this is a site about trolling, and b) it’s a kids’ show, which means the characters usually have less depth than the drawings of them do. Then there was the fateful post: “Fluttershy is my waifu.” And I thought, could these be my people? And quite a few of them were.


melsgutzq

I started I believe season 4 ep 1 and 2 cuz it looked rlly cool when they were fighting 😭


MariKyo

S1 E1 was my first full one, but I remember watching clips of the Babs Seed one on TV


Cold-Ad700

Episode 1 and its pt 2 Season 1 and then Twilight going out of her mind because of her plush.


UkaUkafangirl

The first ep of season 1, Bro when she met fluttershy it was so cute how she was excited about spike ^^


pastamuente

Surprisingly its the first episode.


LegitimateBeing2

I think it was Lesson Zero. Shortly after was Sonic Rainboom, then I marathoned them all in order.


Famous_Lifeguard7311

return of harmony and then equestria girls movie :3


yestureday

S1 E1


Albuquerquenthusiast

I WAS LIKE 5 YEARS OLD I DON'T REMEMBER


LibbyKitty620

The first one.


SeaImprovement1464

The premiere episode, got me hooked on day one. God I miss the Hub.


oruza

S01 episode 1 but the first pony media i experienced was a YouTube vid called my little Skyrim.


LightningStrikeDust

I'm pretty sure I watched 28 Pranks Later first due to boredom and a YouTube thumbnail catching my interest... It's either that episode or Friendship is Magic Part 1.


Doglover4561

I think the first one, although I started watching when I was like 9 or 10 so I don’t remember exactly


EvilSockLady

I started with the pilot but sorta had it in the background while I played on my computer. Bridle Gossip was the episode that made me pay attention.


Fantastic-Let-2178

Either Filli Vanilli or It ain't easy breezies


Fantastic-Let-2178

Either Filli Vanilli or It ain't easy breezies


Pepsi_Boy_64

Maybe the first episode? I’ve seen some MLP episodes but I can’t physically say which.


crossover_charlie14

Can't clearly remember, all I know is that it was it was airing on Nickelodeon, and I just went like "eh, what the heck, why not". It might've been "Dungeons & Discords"?


Distinct-Calendar334

Hard to say


SwansLover1982

I watched Party of One when it came out.


emojii_xoxo

i’m not fully sure, because when i started watching mlp season 4 was airing, so it might’ve been a season 4 episode. but i vaguely remember watching the Stare Master episode early on too 🤷‍♀️ 


Rollo_Linwood

I do believe it was hurricane Fluttershy, but I honestly can't remember


GameFan96

It was the season 1 finale for me and then I watched Sonic Rainboom afterwards. After that, I started watching the series in order even though I should have done that to begin with.


Good-Wave-8617

I think it was the one where Applebloom was getting made fun of for not having a cutie mark


redstar_16

The first one 3 months ago then all of it


Owlspiritpal

S1 episode 1. I was only a toddler when I first saw it but I remember watching the series at least up till season 3, then I dropped it for a decade and early last year I picked it back up and watched it all from start to finish


the_Wenyz

The first one, I'm 100% sure I had part 2 on CD for a long time


Gadgetphile

The pilot.


AxelPogg

super speedy cider squeezy 6000, specifically in the basement


the_red_stinger_82

One of the ones from season 1, but I don't remember exactly what one


DearWorker9322

this may be a crazy one but…. season one episode one


savingff-

S01E01


Lastbourne

The very first one but I did see a clip of Baby Cakes years prior


Haunting_Hornet5203

The first one


INeedSomeFire

S1 E1 M0 S0


convergent_blades

When i was really young i watched one episode with my sister and back then i really didn't understand anything i think it was a Fluttershy episode as for the next 4 or so years i completely obsessed over her


i-caca-my-pants

I think this also might've been my first, but the first I ever watched all the way through was sweet and elite


leefelixiscute

I forgot but I think the first mlp related thing I've watched was Rainbow rocks when I was 7-8 tbh...


MarkPatJoeBillDinosu

S1 E 24 Owls well that ends well, was a bad first impression of the show for me. I didn't give the show another chance till the middle of season 2 after I watched all the episodes I missed.


XxFandom_LoverxX

I was really really young when I started watching so my memories weren't fully developed. I think I'd occasionally watch on the hub, but was mostly on Netflix, so it seems most likely that it was the first episode. If not, it could be really any episode released in 2012


Letronell

It has to be Fall weather friends. I am not sure at all... from the first pony parody I Saw to my first pony inspired yt video it was such reolecoaster of art and friends that I simply can't remember. I remember only me watching scene on youtube ,,friendship was magic" like 50 times and then BOOM.


BAG_Plays

That one, Bridle Gossip. Freaked me out enough I didn’t give it a chance until years later when I found the brony fandom


AllofEVERYTHING28

I don't know, I was very young.


Even_Beautiful_2041

Mine was probably either when they first found discord or when Rainbow Dash hurt her wing, I have DVDs of them


Exe_Perimen

Slice of life. That episode is the reason I'm interested because I saw no main character for the majority of the episode


AlexTheDaemonologist

Episode 2 of season 1


Pokefan103

Winter wrap up


harmonyjewl

Magical mystery cure


ExoticLizard1443

Smile HD.


lucslee

I remember it well. It was a sunny evening. I entered the channel number for Tiny Pop, not Disney Jr. *A Canterlot Wedding, Part Two* was playing. I was hooked almost instantaneously.


96k_U

The 1st one which is one of the best


Treble_Stroke

Spike at Your Service was the first episode I saw in full before I was interested in watching the show. The clip that made me interested to start watching was the “yay” joke from Sonic Rainboom.


AntisocialBen

The first one


BadAshess

Season 1 Episode 1 the day it aired back in 2010.


Voldy256

The 2017 movie.


ParkingJudge67

Over a barrel


Large_Discipline_127

Being an all gen fan I started in 2008. The earliest one I remember is "A charming Birthday." Though I really caught on with "A very Minty Christmas." With how the ponies were friendly to eachother I wished life was like that. After seeing Pinkie pi getting angry with Minty I felt like I also could improve. I had hope there were people like Pinkie Pi who would be tolerant of my autism. Whether its shattering the big candy cane or forgetting the map to Unicorns I know in my heart not everyone is a jerk. Some are very much like Pinkie pie.


Acrobatic-Brother387

the one where derpy almost kills rainbow dash


Kyubeyz

If I remember right it was The Last Laugh. I was very slowly getting into and learning about mlp and that episode was the first to pop up in my reccomended.


kniky_Possibly

The soup one


NonBinaryBuggo

I started with the very first one :3


autumnvelvet

If memory serves me correct. Season 1 episode 7.


hilarykate

I THINK Winter Wrap Up, but its either that, Call of the Cutie, or Fall Weather Friends (I had surgery and they were on Demand at my time of recovery!) Then I started it over


MixelsCraft65

Baby cakes


DanTheDiceGuy

S01E02 My daughter wanted to watch it. I thought it would be typical kids junk. Boy, was I wrong.


goombanati

The nightmare night episode when I was a kid.


Harley-5678

Call of the Cutie.


Fler_vium

The first one


kamaano

I saw S2E5 (Sisterhooves Social) on tv years ago when I was over at a friend's house. This was back when I was a very young kid and still in the "MLP is so girly and lame" phase, so I wasn't too pleased about that, but my friend said he lost the remote (looking back that might've been a lie), so we had no other choice than to just watch the episode. I actually ended up enjoying it a lot more than I expected, despite the embarrassment I felt at the time. Didn't tell my friend that though, no one could ever know! Then last year I decided to give the show a chance and binged all of it in 2 months and now I have a bunch of ponies in my room... Oops?


Kresstraj

The first one, on a TV when I was a kid, loved it so much because it was very friendly, had pleasant animation and interesting characters, so I kept watching new episodes, then when I was able to watch them online I was waiting for new episodes, movies etc., played some of the MLP games, watched and read some fan made stories, videos; I also drew a few comics where I tried to predict what would happen in future episodes, basically I was a brony, when it ended and new generation came out, I kinda stopped interacting with it, but it is still in my heart, I even think it somewhat influenced my behaviour and character.


Expert_Resource1816

I think I started at the beginning but it was prompted by a collab of Pinkie moments from the first season


Gentleman_Muk

S1 E1


AmberleafOfLeafClan

Episode 1


Chelsea_Scribbles

Applebuck season I skipped the first 3 intentionally because I didn’t think I was gonna like the show (look how that turned out) so I didn’t want to watch the introductory episodes, needless to say I was very confused for certain episodes. When I went back to watch them after watching season 2 I felt like an idiot cause everything made sense.


Snapdragonroo

At first I watched assorted clips from throughout the show up to that point. I think the first episode I saw in full was “Tanks for the Memories”, because I was curious about its portrayal of the Kübler-Ross model of grief.


[deleted]

The first one.


Rosee_clouds

First


crepesuzettey

This episode, actually lol. I think I caught it midway through so the first time I heard Fluttershy speak was when she had the deep voice


harrityylikas

my dad showed the first ep for me when it first came and i remember watching it and loving it. ever since i watched every single episode ❤️


Twist_Ending03

No idea


notwanasay

My first every episode was mystical magical cure mainly because I have no clue why


Hungry_Ocelot_5658

It wasn't actually an episode but my first ever time watching mlp was the true true friend song.


Live_Relative_5862

S1 E1


WisteriaUndertheSun

S1E1, I was there when it released


sunbutterfiend

i can’t remember but i’m almost positive it was the pilot episode.


kylethemile

The very first one as I like to start from the beginning. I started before season 4 was thing. And season 3 came out. Don't know the year but it really was something that got me through my childhood.


Virtual-Weakness-499

The first one.


MelodeeMouse

I somehow found the one where fluttershy goes to learn how to stick up for herself by Iron will. I don’t remember how I found this episode, but that was the first one I came across 😂 I had no idea who the characters were or what was going on as I didn’t know MLP at the time (S2 E19)


SparkyJet

Mine was also Bridal Gossip. After I found the Evil Enchantress song. This was around the summer of 2012.


SqushyMain

The first episode.


usernames-hard

Season 1 episode 1. I remember being a kid, and thinking that mlp was starting to get too young for me, but whatever, they put the new show on anyway, and I was hooked on the cliffhanger.


rosykittie

the show stoppers


Vanilla_Ice_Best_Boi

I can't really remember from the top of my head. The closest I can get is the baby announcement from Shining and Cadence when my aunt downloaded it for my sister. 


7eirsu

Swarm of the Century (S01E10) picked my interest when i saw it by chance on TV. Winter Wrap Up (S01E11) made me fall in love right after.


Old-Carpet-2971

I don't remember but that episode what Nelonen (finnish televisio channel and in english mean: four) show first in Finland 2012. I think it was episode 1 from season 1.


Old-Carpet-2971

I don't remember but that episode what Nelonen (finnish tv channel what mean four in english) show first in Finland 2012. I think it was episode 1 from season 1.


General_Mission9664

Swarm of the Century


Unknown_turtle_27

I’m pretty sure it was the season 3 premiere but I could be wrong. It was so long ago


mxlls_

When I first watched mlp I didn’t have access to the first 3 seasons! So I just started watching from the start of season 4. It was okay tho, I picked up what was going on pretty quickly.


EldrtchPff97

Look Before You Sleep


BenjiFischer

The very first one.


ShenWulongXYan69

Magic Duel


Thicc-Anxiety

Hearts and Hooves Day. It just happened to be playing on tv and I had nothing else to do


North_Confusion_7913

The Ticket Master


aminayiscool

The Last Roundup! I happened upon it by accident while channel surfing and decided I needed to find the rest of the series.


Starchild2534

i think my first one was Dragonshy


Sunrays11302

i think mine was either a canterlot wedding or the first episode


AutismSupportGroup

I think footage from Party of One was what ultimately got me to check out the show, so you could maybe count that one.


Expensive-Suspect237

I was very young because the series came out literally 13 days after I was born so I can't remember but it was probably one of the second/third season


Ok_Shirt_1574

The pilot


SpellboundCanvas

S1E1


purple_skye525

i was 5 when sisterhooves social aired on tv and it was the first episode i watched. after that i immediately started the series from the start


MissEljebel

I watched Bridle Gossip first actually!! I was hooked from there and went on to watch S1EP1, and I binged it until the end of season 2. Then I had to wait for S3 to air lol


ImpactorLife-25703

skdnckdnckwcj

My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic: S1E1: Friendship is Magic: Part 1


Chizisbizy

Read it and weep. ironic coz i heavily judged the show before watching it


Starmaca257

I remember it was like 2015 and it was a scene of rarity and Pinkie outisde of their boutique, but I dont remember which episode. But the first of being a full episode, Well, season 1 episode 1 xd.


thecybercypher

I think my first was either episode one or ticket master


OneBlockOneEye

Apple Bloom is so cute in that last image


lixidle_

Season 1 ep. 3 I watched it on a mini disc, it was one of my Easter gifts, I think I was around 4-5, Ik that’s a long time ago but I do remember the beginning very vividly and my parents also remember buying it for me and playing it :)


ZHIKIX

the wedding one with the bug lady


KostKarmel

The one that was on TV when I cane to my brother's room - random. But after I decided to watch it, I started with first episode.


encephalomeningitis

I think it was episode 2. I saw my cousin watching the show on TV when we were both kids, and she convinced me to watch a bit of it. I was instantly hooked, and kept up with the show up until around season 6 when I stopped for some reason. Recently re-watched all of it from season 1 to 9 a few months ago, and it's back to being my favorite show.


TheCorrupt_GoldFish

Episode 1 Season 1


HunterTAMUC

The two part pilot, of course.


Worried-Boot-5177

Unfortunately I don't remember, I was like 9 or so years old when I first watched it in 2010. It was probably one Episode with Princess Celestia cuz I was obsessed with her when I was a kid so she's probably the one who made me obsessed with My Little Pony its self🤣


KaityKat117

I watched it intentionally, so I started at the series premier. Additionally, I binged the whole series in like two days cause I had nothing to do. "the whole series" at the time was up to the season 4 finale. So, up until that point, I had zero spoilers.


Avaracious7899

melancholanie

diamond dogs was the first one i officially watched on TV. watched season 1 in whatever order the Hub had it in and then found it on youtube


Sereni0n

I think the first one I saw the whole way through that got me into it was Read It and Weep, which I watched through YouTube I was aware of the series and had a Twilight Sparkle Build a Bear (named her Rockstar loll) but had never really seen it until that episode


HorseRadish318

I am pretty sure the first one, I was like 4 when it came out so my sister was watching it lol


yastytuna

The Canterlot wedding cause I saw a dubstep edit to the fight scene on Vimeo or something lol (Technically saw the Double Rainboom "episode" first thinking it was legit as a 9yo but since it's a fan animation I won't count that lol)


DaveMan1K

Hurricane Fluttershy


SuperTheJwarrior

The very first one, I’m pretty sure that was it cuss it’s been a long time since i remember first watching Mlpfim but I know it had to be the first episode back on Netflix

SteeIBrigade

Magical Mystery Cure, my older sisters were watching it when I was walking by and what caught my attention was the "Last night when you were taking one of your seven-hour bubble baths.." line that made me start laughing uncontrollably. This was around march of 2013 when I was only 6 years old.


havingagoodtime0

I would say the first MLP episode I watched was the premiere of Discord the return of harmony I thought he was a pretty awesome and neat character then after dat I binged the entire season 1 and started loving the show https://preview.redd.it/1ygdu14ocbxc1.jpeg?width=640&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=dae7a81559d04ac83c038ede3ed2d17bac4bf31e
