Being blind myself, I actually appreciate they made fun of it. Snowdrop came off as offensive and condescending, so I was glad to see they pointed out a lot of the cheap sympathy cards they pulled out and her comment in particular of being a Christmas special martyr that was just there to make the audience feel better about themselves really hit home for me.
BookNerdToTheMax I memorized and learned how to type the keyboard layout, use arrow keys and shortcuts for internet browsing, and a screen-reading software synthetically voices text.
I have traveled down a rabbit hole that I don't think my youtube algorithm can recover from at this point. Anyway this is the purest video, just some dudes enjoying what they love. Good times.
"there are some things you don't make fun of" this is heavily subjective. for one, i don't even think they were 'making fun of' it in the cynical way you imply. In fact, i found this to be quite humorous and insightful. comedy can come from almost anything, you just have to find the right angle. in my opinion, they did that.
I have to admit, I absolutely love the end song. It's tasteless but also very funny, and it does it without explicit references or a million swear words, something a lot of TH-cam could learn from!
the snowdrop part was basically for the people who thought snowdrop was trying to hard to make you feel sad and sorry for her to the point where it got really annoying (mostly me). but coming from a satire lover when i first saw this episode i was laughing so hard i couldn't breath.
LornaThePonyFan! Are you sure? I thought it was a reaction to something you hadn't seen before. But if you're right ER here needs to get the hang of that idea...
I'm actually a big fan of this episode of FiW, though I understand why you guys didn't enjoy it so much. It's part of what makes a reaction video interesting, though. I thought it was a sly bit of satire aimed at people who said Babs "got off easy" in the original episode by making the comeuppance particularly jarring and mean-spirited as well as a shot at people who said "Snowdrop" was too mushy. But still, it takes all kinds. Thanks for putting up the video!
'Blind' reaction lolololol. Though seriously, as various shows already demonstrated, you CAN make fun of basically everything- and there will be people who will laugh. Just...you may not always be one of them. And frankly, while this was one of less funny episodes for me, it wasn't because I felt grossed or anything(this is FiW, it breathes black humour), but because some jokes simple didn't worked for me. To each their own.
I don't know, I actually liked the "not a christmas martyr" part, because, maybe I'm just cynical, but I really didn't like snowdrop's mood, message or story in the least.
i like this version of snowdrop better than the original. it has a stronger message near the end (don't be naive with bullies and hardships, stand up and be friggin counted), and correctly pointed out the main flaw of the babs seed episode.
Really entertaining from you lot as usual -- though I was a bit surprised that you didn't react to the end credits song at all! I seem to be one of the few people who likes both the original Snowdrop *and* the Snowblind spoof, so this was a good FiW for me, even if I do still wish it had more FiM in it. "Do you ever wonder whose OC you are?" is one of my favourite lines in the entire FiW series, so I'll cut it a lot of slack.
Are you kidding!? I thought this was one of their best. I could not believe that they actually did a parody of Snowdrop, and it was awesome! I want them to spoof Double Rainboom now.
well, the main point of an abridged series is parody. a parody isn't always funny, it's just an alternate telling of an existing story. any comedy found within the parodies is actually a bonus, as opposed to the main point. it's like how long running comedy shows sometimes have episodes about death, break ups, and stuff. not filled with too many laughs, but still well presented as a story. whether this parody was funny or not, i still feel like it has enough merits to warrant being made.
You will see our reaction to it when we watch the actual episode they came from. We like to avoid any spoilers of season 4 and anything we plan to do a reaction for.
We didn't really care for it either. More then half of it was a spoof of Snowdrop. It had its moments but over all the best parts of this one were all when it was FIM. ~Kesh
I am personaly looking farward to your reactions to Buttons adventures and Deathbattle: Starscream vs Rainbow Dash, i saw them on the live stream but I cant wait to see them again.
If it's not being entertaining then yes it does matter, because expressing that opinion (which I've done on the FIW video too, again without ranting or anything) lets them know that you didn't care for it, and if that opinion is a majority opinion it lets them know what works and what doesn't for their audience, which for people making a series is essential. So yeah, it does matter. Also I don't think this qualifies as getting picky, every series has at least one bad episode.
I think a lot of that just came down to poor choice in parody; there's plenty of stuff to spoof in the fandom that could make for great FIW material but Snowdrop... it just doesn't have enough actually happening to be honest. Also, I shall now commence squeeing because I love you guys and you replied to my comment ^_^.
i found it funny tbh, not happy about making fun of blind filly, but funny none the less. i could tell jem didnt like it too much at quite a few parts tho
And my objection is that this failed as that, also Black Comedies still have some comedy in them, they still make you laugh just more at the uncomfortable way than a normal laugh. This really didn't feel like it accomplished that.
Oh gee, is it a crime to criticize someone's opinion nowadays? People do it IRL, why is it a crime now? And listen to what you said; "I expressed an opinion, which hate to break it to ya is something that you're going to have to be faced with if you're making a series." That statement is a clear example of how you want the series to be. And your speculation is somewhat confusing and incorrect. You were disappointed, but you explain what a good fan is.
I was honestly pretty disappointed when this episode descended into mostly being a Snowdrop spoof (FIW not the reaction obviously), considering it really didn't have a lot of comedy value in it and it showed. Great reactions as always though
The biggest issue was that it just wasn't funny. Whether you think Snowdrop is something you can parody without falling into bad taste is mostly subjective but since I feel Snowdrop was actually a very bad portrayal of a disability, I'm all for satirising it, it's just that this wasn't that funny.
Oh god. I feel another strenuous and counter productive debate coming on. Disappointed? Dafuq? What are you- their manager? It's their show. They make the decisions and I don't understand how you are one to feel like you have superiority over them. Talk about worthless fans. "Oh I want it like this not that". GAWD. Apartheid on the internet smh.
i love how u guys were butthurt about snowblind "somethings u shouldnt make fun of" pfffffffffffft now that is art. i say "oh stuff it u hipster wannabe" all u niggas be laughing xD
You need to watch TH-cam poop videos it's funny really funny it's amazing everybody loves it that's why amazing people just want to watch TH-cam poop because he is funny
Does anyone think that Snow Blind is offensive to the original video Snow Drop? It's rude to do something like that to a piece of emotional art. My opinion though
The parody Snowblind was the best part of this lol
It's so wrong but so damn funny!
Being blind myself, I actually appreciate they made fun of it. Snowdrop came off as offensive and condescending, so I was glad to see they pointed out a lot of the cheap sympathy cards they pulled out and her comment in particular of being a Christmas special martyr that was just there to make the audience feel better about themselves really hit home for me.
How did you type this then
BookNerdToTheMax I memorized and learned how to type the keyboard layout, use arrow keys and shortcuts for internet browsing, and a screen-reading software synthetically voices text.
+Eric Lueck that's so cool!
Eric Lueck
then how did you know what "KiKi" replied then?
Ericaxx_07 probably text to speech
Apple Bloom: Where do trains come from?
Applejack:
God
"that's because im blind you jack***!" OH SWEET CELESTIA my sides are on fire.
I have traveled down a rabbit hole that I don't think my youtube algorithm can recover from at this point. Anyway this is the purest video, just some dudes enjoying what they love. Good times.
"She looks like Apple Bloom left out in the sun that's not really a face I could sell any toys" harsh burn
Applebloom:Where do train come from?
Applejack: God
Fun fact:
Most laugh tracks you hear from the 1940's so the voices you here are all dead (mostly)
"That's because I'm blind you ja*****" XD
Gets me everytime!!!
I don't think that this episode was that mean honestly. I mean, they make fun of PTSD, so I think making blind jokes is pretty tame.
"there are some things you don't make fun of"
this is heavily subjective. for one, i don't even think they were 'making fun of' it in the cynical way you imply. In fact, i found this to be quite humorous and insightful. comedy can come from almost anything, you just have to find the right angle. in my opinion, they did that.

"That's because I'm blind, j*****s!"
ROTFLOL
completely made me lose my control.
the snowdrop part was basically for the people who thought snowdrop was trying to hard to make you feel sad and sorry for her to the point where it got really annoying (mostly me). but coming from a satire lover when i first saw this episode i was laughing so hard i couldn't breath.
The Snowblind spoof was alot better than the actual show spoof in this one.
FIW Seed No Evil - Blind Reaction is up! Check it out!
And the Snowblind skit makes the Blind Reaction seem even more appropriate
a blind reaction is when you cant see the people reacting...
LornaThePonyFan! Are you sure? I thought it was a reaction to something you hadn't seen before. But if you're right ER here needs to get the hang of that idea...
LornaThePonyFan! why does this matter?
Talancir if it dosent matter..Why did you bother to say that...
I'm actually a big fan of this episode of FiW, though I understand why you guys didn't enjoy it so much. It's part of what makes a reaction video interesting, though.
I thought it was a sly bit of satire aimed at people who said Babs "got off easy" in the original episode by making the comeuppance particularly jarring and mean-spirited as well as a shot at people who said "Snowdrop" was too mushy. But still, it takes all kinds.

They said this is blind reaction but they can see what's going on
For the record Scotaloo is far more russet than orange.
I don't know, I actually liked the "not a christmas martyr" part, because, maybe I'm just cynical, but I really didn't like snowdrop's mood, message or story in the least.
i like this version of snowdrop better than the original. it has a stronger message near the end (don't be naive with bullies and hardships, stand up and be friggin counted), and correctly pointed out the main flaw of the babs seed episode.
exactly. most of the time i was thinking "we get it you're blind and sad, yes you were bullied move on already!!!!!!"
We love you too! XD ~Kesh
A few years late arent I?
Omg I love when they high hooved bab seed and she missed
Really entertaining from you lot as usual -- though I was a bit surprised that you didn't react to the end credits song at all!

SCOOTALOO LEARNS TO FLY
Oh, thank god. More people that feel the same way.
Are you kidding!? I thought this was one of their best. I could not believe that they actually did a parody of Snowdrop, and it was awesome! I want them to spoof Double Rainboom now.
no words describe my anger at this right now.
The scholar is cute,if i may say so
well, the main point of an abridged series is parody. a parody isn't always funny, it's just an alternate telling of an existing story.

You guys need to do more of FiW!

You will see our reaction to it when we watch the actual episode they came from. We like to avoid any spoilers of season 4 and anything we plan to do a reaction for.
Twilight Sparkle isn't here pretending to be a 5th grader
Same here. The original bored me in several places because there was too much damn talking.
For me, the FiW version is the true version.
Sorry but we had already seen Deathbattle. So no reaction of that. But there's three other reactions coming! =] ~Kesh
Oh no, the comments section hasn't been updated in 4 years. Looks like the tables have turned.
I like sweety bells voice she sounds like a robot
Sweetie Bot is best pone.
I don't know weather to laugh or scream
It's me monka the clown. XD XD XD XD
We didn't really care for it either. More then half of it was a spoof of Snowdrop. It had its moments but over all the best parts of this one were all when it was FIM. ~Kesh
The snow blind movie is actually supposed to be snowdrop who is blind and then is able to see at the end
She can't see at the end, she is still blind.
No her wish came true and she can see now duh
In SnowBlind, Yes. In SnowDrop, she is still unable to see, But she sent out a message.
Whatever even in snow drop even snow blind
You should react to "a canterlot wedding friendship is magic" it's so hilarious 💗😂😂😂😂

For awhile, I thought Snowdrop's mom was named Ponco in this dub...
I am personaly looking farward to your reactions to Buttons adventures and Deathbattle: Starscream vs Rainbow Dash, i saw them on the live stream but I cant wait to see them again.
Oh poor snowdrop
Crazy vid
Jem, what happened to you sisters arm

@Aanemini4real yes

No reaction to the credits song? Really?
First time waching
i found it funny tbh, not happy about making fun of blind filly, but funny none the less. i could tell jem didnt like it too much at quite a few parts tho

#buy some apples
I was honestly pretty disappointed when this episode descended into mostly being a Snowdrop spoof (FIW not the reaction obviously), considering it really didn't have a lot of comedy value in it and it showed.
Great reactions as always though
finally.fuc.

LOL I AGREE
Show infantil Equestria girls la magia de facebook
The biggest issue was that it just wasn't funny. Whether you think Snowdrop is something you can parody without falling into bad taste is mostly subjective but since I feel Snowdrop was actually a very bad portrayal of a disability, I'm all for satirising it, it's just that this wasn't that funny.
Its not snowblind its snowdrop>.
More few
damn these ppl sensitive af 💀💀💀
Yay! 500 like!
lo this is better than the real thing but snow blind kina ruin it :/
Does it matter? I respect your opinion, but it isn't an excuse to get all picky.
Oh god. I feel another strenuous and counter productive debate coming on. Disappointed? Dafuq? What are you- their manager? It's their show. They make the decisions and I don't understand how you are one to feel like you have superiority over them. Talk about worthless fans. "Oh I want it like this not that". GAWD. Apartheid on the internet smh.
omg
please react to the love struck derpy tumblr dub
i love how u guys were butthurt about snowblind "somethings u shouldnt make fun of" pfffffffffffft now that is art. i say "oh stuff it u hipster wannabe" all u niggas be laughing xD
How much you’re not laughing at snowblind is real cringey
XD
2:50
See
You need to watch TH-cam poop videos it's funny really funny it's amazing everybody loves it that's why amazing people just want to watch TH-cam poop because he is funny
Lol
Does anyone think that Snow Blind is offensive to the original video Snow Drop? It's rude to do something like that to a piece of emotional art. My opinion though
Yeah, it is a bit offensive, though it's suppose to be a joke.
If it's supposed to be a joke then it's a very bad one.
Oh come on, all the other jokes in the series and this is the one that's offensive?
Rosystar AJ
How dare people make comedy out of darker subjects.
It’s not like humor is one of the most healthy coping mechanisms or anything.
