Let's Fix Some Ponies

Have my most earnestly dweeby video. I'm not being witty or anything I just like to clean ponies, I find it relaxing and I thought somebody might find it relaxing to watch ponies get cleaned.

[@delightfulmochas]

I legit want another video of this. Like, a super long one. I was actually sad when this ended.

[@iliketrains5525]

delightful mochas same. JENNY GIVE US MORE PONIES

[@nayemorusa6244]

I wanted to watch how she cleaned all the ponies from the box

[@georgiab3790]

Same here! I just keep coming back to this one, it's so satisfying😍

[@calcifer6142]

yeah same here

[@Mecharnie_Dobbs]

Not me. This is so different from Jenny's usual content, that I wouldn't expect much overlap of interested viewers.

[@onemadhungrynomad]

well... this proves i literally don't care what the content is, as long as its jenny being jenny...

[@ThatLaurenThing]

This is honestly the cutest and most pure hobby I have ever seen.

[@smittenthekitteninmittens2679]

exept the pony called first base *sexual conetations*

[@laneatkinson6441]

ThatLaurenThing This is slowly becoming my hobby :D I've cleaned up G1 ponies, Little Pretty Pets, Fairy Tail birds, etc.

[@thesaltypineapple7663]

I just turned 15 and I’ve been embarrassed to embrace my love for my little pony. I don’t like it in the same way of course, I mostly collect and restore my ponies, I don’t usually play with them anymore. But seeing women that are still into mlp makes me feel so much more comfortable with myself!

[@lugallagher6193]

This video hits different after the bronycon video

[@fossilfighters101]

[@annedavis3340]

I was just thinking that

[@michaelashton8754]

I have no interest in ponies but it was strangely addictive to watch them go from grubby to clean

[@h.a.mcclellan1426]

It's that #oddlysatisfying vibe that you get from pressure washer videos, but with bonus Jenny

[@AficionadosChris]

I request a video showing off your pony collection.

[@lydiad4050]

Seconded!

[@VainNoodles]

Third!

[@kurliwurx]

Zeroth!

[@jacksquatt6082]

I think this is a good idea, and I too support it.

[@oaks.l4134]

not that anyone is reading this comment section in june 2020, but this is the video i watch to come down from panic attacks, and I cant explain how much I appreciate Jenny's presence online. I know Jenny has a valued role in the internet film analysis world but honestly these kind of videos from her are just so infinitely valuable to me. I know it seems silly and wholesome or whatever but this is a real tool for me when it comes to healthy coping skills. Just wanted to commend her for making something like that idk lol

[@chiarag.3671]

This is so wholesome😭❤ I also watch videos like this to calm after a panic attack

[@ashakydd1]

I put her videos on while I cook. I have been workung through the backlog of Jenny's videos since I have nothing better to do in August 2020.

[@MethCrystal666]

Reading your comment in August 2020!

[@Ghost-qk2ss]

I love these kind of videos from Jenny too

[@JJ-ec9lp]

Déa Lepage I’m reading this comment section in August 2020! And yeah her silly and wholesome content is the best

[@brettins]

"Ka-chow. I'm basically a wizard."

[@J.TiberiusKirk]

Remember Bob Ross and his painting show? Watching this is almost as relaxing.

[@lexariagiku7871]

Weird Question. Maybe. Do they still smell good? The MLP sweet-plastic scent is like a hallmark of my childhood.

[@JennyNicholson]

Drew W Yes they do! Like strawberries and chlorine

[@JeniJustJeni]

@@JennyNicholson Please, give us more pony videos - I'm not choosy: reviews, critiques, theories, fan-fic, toys, anything and everything pony would make me very happy.

[@goatdeer8403]

@@JeniJustJeni Seconded, they're all so good

[@novaisonyoutube]

When I was little I cut my ponies' hair into like. A mohawk just a buzz. And my mom asked why and I was like it's ok it'll grow back and she was like uh no it won't they're toys and I started crying

[@belisarius7880]

"And Mr. Clean should send me these for free." I'm dying.

[@mehless]

G1 ponies are pretty alright.

[@venum0us]

*amazing

[@scumbag576]

Hey I'm Yuki Agreed

[@iliketrains5525]

Idk if you mean they’re pretty much ok or if you mean ‘they’re pretty! Alright?!’ But I agree with both

[@ThomasBaxter]

This was surprisingly engaging.

[@m8rixmeatpop]

I just watched over six minutes of pony cleaning. I feel different.

[@toastwaffle]

This is honestly so relaxing! More pony cleaning asmr please

[@JennyNicholson]

Gahhh my friend Kirsten literally sarcastically told me to make her a pony fixing asmr and I said I wouldn't but apparently I have become the very thing I sought to destroy

[@moonled]

I hate it when that happens.

[@thomashuffcutt9414]

+Jenny Nicholson what does asmr stand for?

[@thomashuffcutt9414]

Jenny Nicholson you should speculate about episode eight.

[@SuperMovieLvr933]

Jenny Nicholson Lol. Episode 3 reference.

[@jeongkikim]

This is one of my go-to asmr videos. Everything about it so natural and relaxing. I don't particularly like whisper videos. I like people who talk regularly, but in a calm way like this, with maybe a slight bit a vocal fry. The best part is definitely when she makes that tangent around 3:44. The way she talks like that while thinking really relaxes me. Hope she does more natural stuff like this. Although I think it's charm also comes from its unintentional nature of it.

[@meowsielee]

antarctican emmymadeinjapan makes food videos and she has a very soft, calm voice

[@XatxiFly]

I don't consider that part a tangent? But it is a nice relaxing video.

[@annekagrif]

Oh my gosh I'm soooo jealous. I've been collecting these since I was a child. I use to have over 300 and then I sold off most of my collection and ever since I regreted that. Also fun bonus fact about the twinkle eye ponies: The story goes they where trapped in a cave mining jewels for a jewel wizard and when they were saved they found their eyes no longer worked in the daylight. Apple jack smashed the throne of the wizard and the shards of crystals went into the ponies eyes which apparently gave them the ability to see in the daylight again. so the story in like a creepy pasta but they are no where near as creepy as the beddy bye eyes baby ponies.

[@rabbit-exe3606]

another way to do this sort of thing without using a magic eraser (provided the plastic itself is the base colour and it's not been painted/airbrushed) is to use 100% acetone and a q-tip/tissue! it takes off dirt and even factory paint really well, it's what a lot of doll customizers use to get a clean base on the dolls

[@Batmonthesequel]

“I never allow myself to question what that is” is some deep wisdom

[@vmfjru47]

What am I doing with my life

[@archvaldor]

You should be working in an office, being miserable, and conforming.

[@dextrodemon]

lol, "over-socialized," might be the grossest misanthropism ever.

[@novadeus777]

Wish I was a pony right about now

[@hihkable]

Nothing wrong with having a hobby that reminds you of childhood. I still collect LEGO sets, and play my old GameCube from time to time, for the nostalgia but also because it’s a nice escape

[@michellewade335]

+hihkable same

[@400acresLLC]

I'm a grown ass man. How are you this enjoyable to watch?!

[@markmccoy3369]

I'm wondering the same thing myself.

[@johnsmith-mv8hq]

I think Jenny is weaving a spell over us all. :/ This video is awesome. Perhaps the catalyst is the sparkling eyes on the wizard pony?

[@papinkelman7695]

+john smith no, it's Jenny, all Jenny.

[@papinkelman7695]

+Pa Pinkelman reading it back it's very creepy.

[@Wonega]

[@gfinn805]

genuinely would watch an hour-long video of this it’s so nostalgic

[@godhatesam]

jenny is so gosh darn wholesome. i could watch a three hour long video of her staring at a wall and talking about her day and i would enjoy enjoy every second.

[@ChelleBelleCosplay]

It's March 4 and I've been in lockdown for a full year. I'm watching Jenny wash plastic ponies. It brings me comfort. I could enjoy these peaceful crafts for hours.

[@Makyui]

Oh my gosh I'm so jealous of your amazing haul. I buy G1s and restore/clean them up as a hobby and it's so satisfying. I see some real gems in there! Will you show the rest of them sometime?

[@JennyNicholson]

I might! It's pretty satisfying for me to watch the progress vid afterward with all the middle steps cut out. Maybe I'll do a more abridged pony-cleaning marathon. This box had SIX boys in it, and Leafy which is now the first Pretty Pal in my collection. Lots of TAFs, lots of Twinkle Eyes - definitely the best era of ponies.

[@Rezikai]

Have you ever checked out RetroBlasting's KZbin Channel? They do 80's toys restoration, mostly boys b/c of the host Mike, but his wife Melinda restored her childhood ponies in much the same way and did a video of it to.

[@KronnangDunn]

While I am not into ponys, I actually also love buying cheap old vintage GIJOE, SW, Transformers, Anime toys that are broken, damaged or dirty and fixing/cleaning/ repainting them. Just like you said, is very very relaxing.

[@yeethittter1285]

I think we can all agree we need an hour long video of you showing off your pony collection and cleaning them because this is the sweetest thing

[@lymmea]

I'm just super nostalgic seeing Barnacle in there! He was my main boy pony growing up. (He's the dark blue one with the pirate treasure mark, for anyone wondering. He came with a little pirate hat!)

[@mollydaly6057]

Fellow longtime G1 collector here and this video is so nostalgic and relaxing for me! Makes me want to go fix up my G1s back home. I should start doing this to relax too!

[@kragary]

I've never been this envious in my life.

[@wellrenownedcripple]

Watching this video is a very relaxing and nice experience. Jenny’s enthusiasm is so contagious!

[@thylionheart]

I just bought a pony from Mercari for my friend, one she wanted when she was a child, and I immediately thought of this video and I’m gonna use it as a guide to clean up the pony for her! It’s a G3 Wysteria💜

[@6WaysFromNextWed]

"Look how deep this box goes. I can just . . . stick my arm . . . " Me: SPIDERS

[@libraryseraph]

[@Sleepfrog]

Love jenny's videos, but this one specifically I find really calming and relaxing. I agree this era of ponies really is the best aesthetically.

[@samichmachine]

not to be years late, but ths is still Such a good video, and i'm so up for more of this either here or on the patreon. this is so soothing and fun to watch.

[@andrewjameskun]

G1 Ponies!? I never thought I would love a term so much!

[@Dreamstobecome9]

I have such memories of doing eXACTLY this process from years ago when I was super active in the MLP Arena community and was actively collecting... good times!

[@JennyNicholson]

I'm on mlp arena! Don't post all the time like I used to but I still use my account to creep for news

[@Dreamstobecome9]

Yeah?? I haven't logged in for a while... I'm LadyFizzy on there.

[@thiccbih3140]

i know this is old af but mlp arena sounds like the name of some pony-themed spinoff of death battle

[@pinkcupcake4717]

This video is pure calm and comfort. This never fails to soothe my anxiety.

[@knight671]

Completely agree, I hope Jenny eventually makes another one! I could fall asleep to this.

[@mascadadelpantion8018]

This is actually useful information on how to fix and restore some toys if you have nieces or nephews

[@mariahdoesthelaundry5636]

This isn't really my thing at all, but you this super enjoyable to watch, very relaxing ngl

[@noniakamai2458]

I use fabric softener for the hair, works for all synthetic hair. I also collect MLP from the 80’s (I was born in 84) so I am super jealous of your haul!

[@serenesai5032]

You are the real Fluttershy.

[@kayokay470]

This was so exciting. I think my husband thinks differently of me now after I literally squeed for a solid thirty seconds once you opened the box.

[@curseten4663]

When I discovered the box and got permission to find a new home for it, I knew I had to call you, like pony Ghostbusters. If I ever find my own old ponies, I'll have to invest in a magic eraser and some conditioner. Also, hahaha yessss I totally called it!

[@everett9199]

Curse Ten You must be the roommate Jenny talked about in the video - did she give you back that Firefly afterward?

[@alpinenewtplaysgames4509]

Back in '88 my friend Toby melted his sisters My Little Ponies in a frying pan, it stank!

[@littlewinterflower1831]

Alpine Newt Plays Games That is so freaking mean! LMAO 😂 My older brothers used to break the legs off my toy horses when I was little.

[@alpinenewtplaysgames4509]

Well Toby was an evil little sod when we were kids, he even ate insects for fun. He's now the proud father of two little girls and is the best dad ever!

[@desokeeffe7784]

I laughed so much imagining this. Glad to hear things worked out for Toby.

[@bobby314159265]

Pan frying his sister's ponies to 'best dad ever.' Seems unlikely.

[@iliketrains5525]

Omg that’s freakin awful

[@michellemah2674]

This is so wholesome and I was getting secondhand satisfaction watching them become clean and beautiful, especially when the hair came out perfectly curled 😍 10/10

[@cdwell3810]

I like the old ones so much more than the new ones. They look so much more like actual ponies

[@budthecyborg4575]

I... actually had some of these, a long, time ago. I would say it was my mother's idea, but that opening episode of MLP is actually kind of awesome. A Centaur with a beating heart in a bag that shoots darkness and turns Ponies into Dragons? Who wouldn't watch that!

[@HipposAreDeadly]

My Little Pony back in like, 2004, was my favorite. They had little magnets on their feet it was amazing. Five year old me was obsessed.

[@bugdomrulez]

im so JEALOUS of all your beautiful ponies!!! i love cleaning them, its so relaxing and fun. i hope one day someone gifts me a huge box of ponies

[@Casmira.Draconid]

Watching Jenny get genuine, sweet joy out of cleaning ponies is the best thing ever, after getting so much joy my self at her abject nerd rage. 10/10 would watch more ponies.

[@lizard1325]

something about this is so calming and honestly the old ponies are super cute. I had a few in my childhood (early 2000's) but I have no idea what generation they were but I think I may have encountered some of these old guys at friend's houses and stuff. I now have the strong urge to own some of these if I ever come across the opportunity to. They are super cute and feels a lot less intimidating than cleaning/restoring old fashion dolls.

[@leahlurie4315]

this is the satisfying equivalent to that scene in toy story 2 (you all know which one)

[@Alsyoutubeaccount]

This is one of the most wholesome things I have ever seen

[@starlightsoiree]

You're 100% responsible for me appreciating and restoring g1 ponies after having g4 ruined for me twice by my ex- g1 has much less baggage and even if I didn't experience it firsthand, it's very nostalgic! Whenever I clean any ponies or touch them up, I think of this video!

[@ditdot609]

Those old pony toys were so nice, I loved those

[@woodfur00]

I need multiple hours of this please this is my new favorite thing to watch

[@jaydengarcia]

this is so calming

[@Ekenaa]

This gives 'perfectly splendid' vibes

[@consentclub8431]

I keeping coming back to this video, it's so satisfying.

[@ro_the_lion]

I really love restoring ponies too! I like that every pony restorer somehow knows the wrap in papertowel around the leg trick, potentially without being told. I mean, I'd say it's intuitive, but it's also genius-level effective, so there's that. For a tighter set of curls, like your Cherries Jubilee or your Molasses, I loop the hair around a selection of pencils, then papertowel and band.

[@lex117]

the way i consistently have come back to this video for basically 6 years now to feel the purest calmness ive ever felt

[@lex117]

feeling the january scaries, so here I am once again watching this video to calm myself down

[@lex117]

the interval at which I keep returning to this video is shrinking... had a screaming crying fit and needed to calm myself down

[@misssilvercrown]

I know this video is 4 years old now, but I only just came across it. I loved Pony Bride so much as a kid, she was my favourite. I even had a sticker of her that I got with the MLP magazine that I put on the wall.

[@OCDroodles]

My grandmother has a HUGE bag of gen 1 ponies and playing with them with her on the floor is easily the best part of my childhood.

[@heyheysheashea12]

I need a 20 minute long video of pony spa time

[@Hey_Jamie]

That literally looks like my exact collection from the 90’s. The Pony Bride was my FAVORITE one! Ugh I wish I knew what the hell happened to all of mine

[@katestanden801]

**me procratinating homework so i can scroll through my saved youtube videos so i can rewatch this video and take notes to clean up my own my little ponies from my childhood**

[@Aanok]

It bloody is relaxing. There's something that's really satisfying about cleaning and fixing things. Perhaps it feels like staving off the ineluctable, final arrival of death

[@andycrenshaw2789]

i wanna hear a video about your favorite ponies you’ve collected! the old ponies are so charming and interesting. you could put it in some sort of....internet friendly numbered list?

[@livingdeadgirl3173]

i love vintage my little ponies and honesly this video is free therapy 🥺

[@lynndavinci4753]

Rewatching this after Jenny’s recent cleaning thread. I need more of this content.

[@VicDemise]

I love this! Why do I love this?

[@merkules6]

I've had a very difficult couple of days and this was surprisingly therapeutic to watch. Actually took my mind off some things for a moment. Thank you, Jenny.

[@MythraRed]

I am super jelly of your ponies!

[@AmyDuPeuple]

that actually WAS REally Relaxing

[@RumerPriestly]

This is so nostalgic for me, I had a good few of these exact ones when I was a kid. Although my mom cleared out our attic and threw all my old toys away, I still haven't gotten over that.

[@hottiemcthottie7293]

a 4 year old video of Jenny Nicholson cleaning old my little ponies is actually something that can be so personal,

[@RTRyles]

There's something great about hearing people talk about something they are passionate about. I've never once been interested in MLP, but this was entertaining.

[@TheJhtlag]

Fascinating b/c she's passionate about something in a world that I have no connection to, it really is kind of intimate. Like others have said, it is kind of mesmerizing. I'm just cruising through the internet, enjoy a lot of her humor, good stuff, but this is probably her most honest self portrayal.

[@drakependragon9331]

I was born in 2003, you have been collecting ponies my entire life

[@kinsnuf]

I realise this video is old, but! I've heard you can remove ballpoint pen with acne cream? Pimple-bleach-stuff? It has to contain some ingredient, but I can't remember what it's called.

[@cmddelete2169]

Suicide Squad/Reddit brought me here. I have no interest in 80s ponies but I do find your voice relaxing. Good work.

[@pepinyostep3592]

What dod reddit say about her

[@markykid8760]

I love this window into your world. I just liked explosions and sports, you know boys stuff, but this made me really get the appeal

[@blackbearcj5819]

I've collected ponies pretty much since I was born and have crates filled with old G1 ponies that need to be cleaned up. I never found a good video on what to do with their hair that was nice and simple until this one.

[@vampiresquid2635]

i dont know a lot about old ponies (or new ponies tbh, just like basic random moments i remember from years ago) but i love how unique each one is?? they all have different faces and poses and eyes, its gorgeous

[@MadailinBurnhope]

this is SO therapeutic

[@niqaily4415]

I love her voice... and this is where that led me... ponies, fuckin' ponies^^.

[@overgrownkudzu]

jenny is the personified chaotic good alignment

[@spacekateyes]

I didn't think I had any interest in this, but this was oddly satisfying and enjoyable to watch?? I was mesmerized for whatever reason? Definitely has a Bob Ross quality of being relaxing! It was so wholesome and great! You should definitely show us how all your ponies look all cleaned up and together! I'm invested now.

[@BillWiltfong]

I'm glad there are people in the world who think that cleaning and fixing a collection of ponies isn't a fresh form of torture, to make up for people like me.

[@WastelandsNomad2277]

I swear Jenny is like my online twin, I do the exact same thing. Collected them since 2007 and just only recently stopped because I've got nearly all the ponies I've wanted from childhood. ❤️

[@TheNickleChick]

I am using this as a guide and as anti anxiety for my horrific night anxiety. G3 is my personal favorite but god Jenny... This 6 minute video is my comfort blanket.

[@artandmartini]

This is so wholesome and good. I would love more

[@ven5646]

Oh Jesus. Realizing I'm simultaneously older and younger than i feel internally because she's started collecting ponies since the year i was born

[@unicornman147]

Watched this while knitting. It's the most soothed I've felt all week. Would watch hours and hours of this, honestly,

[@Rhinneh]

When I was a kid I used my MLPs as bath toys. Eventually they got a bit mouldy and my mum threw them away. Watching this makes me miss them all over again.

[@uglygirldoes2420]

Like a few others, I don't really have an interest in Ponies, but I have watched this video so often because I used to do similar things with my Barbies and to restore the Barbies of my friends. So I found this video very relaxing.
