AMWDW: Phantom Horn and Finding Your Identity

[@cartoonfan9185]

Wait a minute... Dr Wolf can stand upright and has opposable thumbs! Isn't that a huge advantage?

[@cartoonfan9185]

He still has them, whereas the ponies do not. Also, I read another comment saying wolves have super sharp smelling, which is actually a good point.

[@cartoonfan9185]

***** True. But, he's the only character in Ponyville who has opposable thumbs. Hmm... since Dr. Wolf is an OC, if he actually lived in Ponyville, would he have to face discrimination for being a non-pony?

[@cartoonfan9185]

True, but they only shunned Zecora because she was from the Everfree Forest and not because she was a zebra. The episode Bridle Gossip is a lot more comparable to zenophoia than racism within a country.

[@SasamiTM]

Cartoon Fan I'd be rather curious to that myself. After all there is one thing about the good doctor that wasn't addressed with Zecora, the buffalo, or any other character in the show really. He is a wolf, a carnivore. What is the place of a predatory animal (even an enlightened one who has adjusted his diet and gets his required protean from other sources) in a culture of herbivores? Would simply his presence punch buttons way down in the pony brain, on an instinctive fear level? It would be more than simple xenophobia when there is a possibility the other guy's ancestors killed and ate your ancestors.

[@cartoonfan9185]

Ooh... Very good point.... I'd have to think that's something the ponies would be afraid of very much. This is why I, as a future furry author, believe you can't have a world of anthropomorphic animals work without there being regular animals, or beasts as I call them, who are inferior to the animals.

[@randallwalter7589]

Rewatching this gave me an improved perspective on how to interact with others, and how to be non-judgmental and kind. I really appreciate this video, and I think its become more meaningful to me over time. Thank you, Dr. Wolf and Phantom.

[@DRWolf001]

Glad to be of service :)

[@AlienWarhead]

Wouldn't Dr.Wolf have a better sense of smell than ponies?

[@cannedcream]

The Doc looks soooo flip-flappin' adorable in this art style.

[@Gibbontake]

OOOOHSHIT his horn is faaaake!

[@CorpulentBrony]

I never noticed this before.

[@Tiyev]

Corpulent Brony His horn has always been a toilet paper tube. But it came off in this one, as if a metaphor of his coming a bit undone mentally in this video... What's new to me is the whole satire of self identity social justice tumblr types. Maybe its just now come to the fore front. Or maybe there's been more of this on their tumblr, but not on youtube until now.

[@CorpulentBrony]

Tiyev I have a stallion crush on Phantom Horn

[@Tiyev]

Corpulent Brony I guess its sometimes true, that love makes you blind. Such bliss to not pay any mind to such things as Phantom's horn, or how it got there... Most rolls of toilet paper get discarded, but this one was destined for greatness. Just think, in some ponies lavatory, a certain roll of soft tissue was used, and used up. It once held the tissue that was used to wipe pony posterior, and now its a fixture on the forehead of your favorite stallion. May the legend of Phantom's horn never die. To get to where it is in life, on Phantom's head, it had to deal with a lot of crap. Never forget.

[@CorpulentBrony]

Tiyev well spoken, sir. Quite a stirring story. Bravo. Et cetera

[@SleepingSilentBelle]

Quite enjoyable. I like how you have a few sessions where in the end, the client doesn't change much, or misinterprets what you were going for, as I feel that is often the more probable outcome when discussing issues with others, especially on the internet. Very amusing PH and Dr.Wolf, I quite enjoyed this one.

[@NickyvMLP]

Ceiling Keg Standard watches you analyze.

[@StripesChaosGremlin]

Another great AMWDW Doc. I always enjoy listen to these. Phantom keep doing what you do best, bucking the norm and forging your own path on this crazy road called life.

[@missmandarin9840]

I like this new style of art/psychiatrist videos! It really suits you when you help discuss problems with other brony analyzers, it's original and really refreshing. Please do Digi next... I think he might need some sorting out. Bless his Mountain Dew heart tough.

[@CrownePrince]

I see Dr. Wolf is using Sweetie Bloom's pink feather, and not the black one from before.

[@barkbitstaketwo]

Ha ha! That's true! Well, he's welcome to it. Waste not want not, I've got a few to spare.

[@LWolf12]

Wow, I just noticed that. I did notice the feather drop in Sweetie Bloom's moment with the Dr Wolf. But I didn't notice the change in the Ink Well.

[@numbuh0004]

Awesome, two of my favorite reviewers talking about interesting points, thanks for setting up this session Doc and P. Horn

[@chefvortivask1952]

Once again another brilliant video, doc. Your videos are amazing, your voice is amazing. You are considerate and let people speak their opinions, you help people with their problems and make people feel better about themselves. You are a brilliant youtuber, consider yourself one of my personal favourite youtubers of all time.

[@DoodleDabble]

Baby steps, Phantom Horn. Baby steps ^_^

[@SoddingUsername]

Not one of the most thought provoking sessions, but probably the most entertaining. Nice work, on both of your parts.

[@simpsonman956]

Haha, good one, Dr. Wolf! I have to admire you're being the fair and balanced straight man in this bit. As a parody of SJWs featuring a transgender-analogous character, could have easily taken a transphobic turn. But thankfully, even though you portray Phantom Horn as being full of himself, and wanting attention/acceptance for the wrong reasons, at no point do either of you ever suggest that he's not actually a unicorn trapped in an earth pony's body. I can't tell you how refreshing this is, that you can have such a nuanced spoof. Yeah, Phantom Horn [his character] is a bit of a jerk, but that doesn't change who he really is. If he does identify as a unicorn, he doesn't have to be a holier-than-thou SJW who complains online. Above all, he's just got to accept himself :)

[@Elfos64]

Amazing, your word choice is so much more helpful at addressing the problem than the Psychologist I used to go to, and I remember you saying your degree isn't actually in psychology. Just goes to show how little meaning those degrees have.

[@SketchBookShortFilms]

Another fantastic episode, my friend. And Phantom, I got your back, bro.

[@Mouseboy47]

Dr. Wolf and Phantom Horn, two of my favorite MLP critics in one episode, LOVE IT!!!!!!!

[@Ragglefragable]

So....this is the first Dr. Wolf vid I've ever watched and I know understand why he is so beloved in the Brony community. Subbed

[@NoNameChannel789]

cant wait to see him come back. he was a great guest and really funny. and i say phantom dont worry about what others think about your "horn"

[@waywardpony]

Very fun, as always. This one hit home more than most others as representing a problem some people can have.

[@BlueBattleCrab]

Holy crapballs, this is an awesome video, Doc! ^_^ Silly Phantom Horn! You don't need strangers' approval, you are awesome regardless!

[@RemKoshmar]

3:17 cutie kitty fais~ ♥

[@mrtomfox]

:3

[@bencoit5597]

I like the little moral you two put into the video. I'v always try to remind people that's its not important what others think of you,if you know who you are that's all that matters. You know your self more then others.

[@araej9293]

Reeeeeally liking the art style of these videos

[@haradbl]

Dr Wolf, after this I think YOU'RE going to need a session with....YOU!! Shew....

[@KahokoHinoEEVEE]

Phantom is finally getting the help he needs. :D

[@playfulpippapony]

Doc? Is that one of sweetie bloom's feathers your using as a quill? Like the one she left behind when she had her session, nice continuity.

[@DRWolf001]

You noticed. :) MrTomFox, who does the art for these videos, has put in a few interesting Easter Eggs with his work. I believe you're the first person to point out that DRWolf is now using Sweetie Bloom's feather from the last episode MrTomFox put together for me.

[@Benicthehedgehog]

DRWolf001 ooooo I saw the feather too. I bet Sweetie Bloom will be glad to know that her feather is being very helpful to you Doc. and this is a really good moment that you did. I hope you keep up the good work. :)

[@barkbitstaketwo]

Quite so. You're welcome to the new quill, Doc. ... Do I get a discount from my bill? ;)

[@DRWolf001]

Sweetie Bloom Wait...Ponies have been expecting me to charge them for these visits?

[@barkbitstaketwo]

...No... not at all... *rips up check*

[@forevertheshade]

I couldn't stop laughing when I saw Keg in the window! XD 1:07

[@The5thBlade]

1:45 Ah, I caught the reference to Animal Farm there.

[@NumbingDisasterAnon]

I love the little tidbits you got here Doc, interesting stuff. The picture of Canterlot (had a little visit eh? You do have what appears to be a gifted picture from the royal sisters xD). Also love both the black and white landscape of the cave and what appeared to be a signed picture of Fluttershy (a nod to your first ever video?). I'd also like to see the story to that mortar&pestle. As well as that philosophical horse bust...in fact, just tell me the story behind that one, I am really curious. Also a notice on the character model. It seems that in when you're alone, your vest is unbuttoned and when doing sessions with others you button yourself up. Trying to have a distinguishable comfort when being professional and none professional, eh? Don't have reading glasses a whole lot when not doing sessions either.

[@TsuriaDragon]

I hope golden fox gets to be on a moment with dr wolf most enjoyable :)

[@Kraigon42]

I have to say, this is the most I've laughed at the ending phrase since the first installment where VoiceofReason goes bananas over FiW. Not that the rest of the video didn't bring a smile to my face, but most of the time when we get to "it's good to be helping", it actually hits closer to the heart than here. .... I fear I may have put my foot in my mouth unintentionally.

[@shieldgenerator7]

This was so cool! They should totally make an actual MLP episode about an earth pony wanting to be a unicorn or something! That would be so cool!

[@blackattack1840]

Funniest session for sure. Wish you could do one with Keg about not hiding your nerdy side from dates.

[@lordsjaak]

wahahaha sorry i must laugh on the video it was funny both of you two

[@ExvarnMax]

fun episode indeed, though now im curious how one sets up a meeting with Dr.Wolf. Might be fun to discuss a realization I had after the tirek incident.

[@sadlobster1]

I really love these sessions Dr.Wolf has with others. His insight reminds me of my fellow Hydrocephalus friends (Hydro Brothers and Sisters as we call each other) on Facebook. His wisdom gives people such acceptance of who they are, what they do and what they believe in or stand for. It so nice to know such people exist in this world

[@DRWolf001]

Glad to hear you enjoy these videos so much.

[@sadlobster1]

DRWolf001 Thank you Dr.Wolf, I apologize if my commentary seems excessive or repetitive. I just feel so uplifted when I hear how insightful you are on certain matters and enjoy seeing how inspired others feel after speaking with you

[@H3art816]

One step at a time; translates to "Baby Steps" from what Fluttershy said once.

[@whocares435-z9v]

Wow. This is really relevant in light of current events.

[@TheloyalArcanine]

I like this style much more than the usual! Not saying the usual was bad but this one just seems "nicer" for a lack of a better word..

[@cosmosuniverse5986]

It's good to respect who or what you are, it may be hard sometimes. I know that for a fact, I all ways wish to better then what I am sometimes. a Good friend of mine told me. "You are meant to be you, live life how you need to, not how you want to"

[@kommanderskombat3339]

I'd like to see one with drowning in horse shoes but I'm shore he's actually screwed up in the head so it would be interesting.

[@kairoscreeperpresents7652]

heheh, I love that '*deep breath* its good to be helping' that's great motto!

[@xinrickdragon9198]

I seriously wish that I could be on there and talk about Expectations vs. Reality. Like with Spike when he wants and expects himself to be a big part of everything but in reality is only just a side character who's mostly the comedic relief, or like the Derpy fiasco, where they made Derpy who she was yet people through a hissy fit about it because she was 'Offensive to mentally handicapped people'. I can relate to that topic because people expect me to be a great and smart man, when in reality I'm going through massive problems that I can't find a way out of it...I hope this can be another discussion for you Dr. Wolf...but sadly I can express or talk about it or else people might get mad...or something completely different I don't know.

[@No1ofgreatimportance]

Hmmm, I wonder if Phantom Horn has ever heard of or read certain kiddy stories like, "The unicorn without a horn", or maybe "The baby unicorn"... cause both stories have to do with unicorns that look like ordinary horses (for the most part) and have to earn their horns through certain trials and or tasks. If not, maybe he should, because he might get a clue to getting his own unicorn horn at long last...(if he's still certain that he is a unicorn that is..) Just a thought...

[@hardwaybet2765]

There's a metaphor in here somewhere...

[@pokeguy742]

I imagine Fantom Horn meeting a unicorn is awkward for everyone involved in some fashion. It certainly seems that way.

[@Dark_Tale_2077]

Phantom Horn is now best unicorn.

[@NeoStickman16]

I'm sure this is a crisis every pony goes through once in their life.

[@runelt99]

nice 1:15 Look at the window on top

[@TheBlueSunil]

Oh wow!! This is hilarious!! Just awesome, keep them up!!

[@sonicgen20]

Well I guess not all problems can be solved in one session.

[@travish.4282]

I would love to do a collab with you but I don't have a problem, an OC, or the means to do it! :,( But seriously Thank you for that Doctor!

[@joshuamonson9973]

....I approve of this satire. And of Dr. Wolf's sense of restraint.

[@artistradio]

I'm glad to see Tom Fox (my former roommate) has gone on to bigger and better things. :)

[@DRWolf001]

Tom does excellent work.

[@mrtomfox]

Hey Brown Wolf! Thank you! And thank you too Doc :)

[@ZGuy0fSci]

lol, Nice touch with the pink feather... * Sweetie Bloom and her visit, pink feather.

[@reecepierce9272]

Phantom's existance is its own paradox

[@CaveCrowAnarchist]

Dr. Wolf sounds like Dr. King Schultz, like almost exactly like him. And I love King Schultz.

[@ThePa1riot]

What?! Who doesn't think highly of you Doc?! I want names! (Hehehe XD Good video Doc, as always. And good points about not letting society set the expectations of yourself. At least I think that's what you were getting at.)

[@JoeAconite]

Could end his session with the "Always Sunny in Fillydelphia" music, and it would fit.

[@snowstorm7226]

You're really amazing Dr Mlp should put you in an episode maybe in season 5

[@Lars_E_Mou]

I feel happy of being an earth pony. Nice and simple.

[@zemorph42]

3:50 What? What about your hearing, or your keen sense of smell? Did you lose those when you became self-aware?

[@valentinerye1213]

This is too perfect!

[@no1important777]

this kinda felt like an odd improve skit, its not that theres anything wrong with that its just... the doctor sounds serious about all this while phantom makes it feel like its all a joke...if that makes any sense.

[@0x_Proxxy]

Oh my god XD that was one of the best episodes I can't stop laughing XD

[@witchy90210]

I wish I could talk to Dr. Wolf about something similar to this. Something near and dear to my heart. Alicorns.

[@therealvordox6268]

This was a nice moment. ^^

[@dreammirrorbrony1240]

Its ok Phantom Horn. I believe in you! :) -I wonder what Dr. Wolf charges for those sessions? hmmm...

[@yugoxgc]

I fear what would happen if Phantom Horn got his hooves on the Alicorn amulet X_x

[@Ryuouken]

Rewatching this now, with the gamergate and feminazis debacle, this is just spot on. It's beautiful! The "more equal" comment, and.. ahhh all of it. He's being a perfect SJW! Full of bullshit, contradicting himself and forcing agendas. Tumblr, twitter.. It's hilarious xD Awww this is too good. I feel kinda silly though, he knew about all of this already. Back then, I was completely oblivious. ._.

[@TheRoyalHarmony]

this seem of the other side of the lesson that was in "Equestrian game"

[@PoniPlague]

1:07 Keg's cameo

[@minespatch]

What would Suey Parks pony look like?

[@dandundunafterdark4319]

How did I miss this one?

[@FillyFarm]

Hahaha, awwww, you're too cute Dr.!

[@santosjhon15]

I wanna see DRWolf with Canned Cream someday.

[@BaldurPrime]

genial el video gracias por subirlo hace un excelente trabajo, espero con ansias ver mas videos suyos :3

[@mongeeses7112]

I spy with my little eye a pony in the window named keg standard

[@TankCop]

OH MY GAWD!!! Phantom I didn't know you where really a Dirty Earth Pony...how could you lie to us all? T_T

[@ellynfoster4440]

Keg in the background window XD

[@FallenDante00x]

Well...recovery is always taking small steps right?

[@yochlel2642]

you actually have areally neat power doctor,the power of patience,which is very hard to obtain and even harder to use.

[@DRWolf001]

Thank you kindly for the encouraging words.

[@yochlel2642]

DRWolf001 you are welcome,my friend

[@minespatch]

I wonder what Internet Aristocrat would feel about this video?

[@dalerockman5286]

Excellent Video!!

[@macayleangelina9892]

Dr. Wolf is so smol and itty bitty.

[@DementedDuskull]

Should you tell him or should I?

[@scarfseeker4748]

Phantom Horn kinda sounds like Kaneda from Akira.

[@MDWolfe-ks5fu]

Perhaps, you might see him a lot. There's one thing he needs to understand is to accept of who he is. An Earth Pony capible of strength and connection to things that grow.

[@NaturesTemper]

Can someone please tell me why Dr.Wolf is so small? When wolves in the show are bigger than ponies.

[@mrtomfox]

I imagine you're referring to the Timber Wolves in the show. I always thought of those being closer related to monsters than to actual wolves, so their size isn't very reliable for comparison. Dr Wolf, to my knowledge, more often than not has been depicted as being slightly larger than Spike, he's even said so himself in the past.

[@DRWolf001]

mrtomfox That is indeed correct. It makes much more sense for DRWolf to be more closely related to wolves than the creatures made of timber that were depicted in the show. And I've always seen DRWolf as being smaller than the ponies, around spike's size.

[@adrianaldridge2267]

I think I would need a moment with Doctor Wolf but maybe I should get actual therapy first....

[@GIAP11977]

Question: what do you do in real life?

[@chaosmilk2316]

fantom horn reminds me of uncle ruckus

[@bazuli]

Basically phantoms racisist and defies himself to think he's a unicorn THE END

[@xandercaulder4824]

I think my unicorn self knows a race-changing spell. Phantom, I think I can help.

[@KollisionRadMan]

I can see how his name is sub standard cuz he's keg standard's brother

[@primroan5354]

Entertaining as always.

[@rileysheehan943]

And also, if a wolf's diet is mostly meat, where does Dr. Wolf get food in a world mostly inhabited by ponies, which are herbivores

[@DRWolf001]

Why do you think the Apple family keeps pigs on their farm? :)

[@rileysheehan943]

DRWolf001 *sound of jaw hitting floor*

[@rileysheehan943]

DRWolf001 oh my God! It's you! Yeah!

[@biglurker7968]

Petfood suppliers; a little demeaning, but sometimes a better quality than people food...

[@candybar379]

Wait, Phantom doesn't have a horn? I've been lied to.
