* CombatPragmatist: Peddler. ''sound of a [[RevolversAreJustBetter revolver]] shot'' That ain't 'nough for ya? [[TalkToTheFist Talk to the Hoove]].

A spin-off of the popular ''Fanfic/FalloutEquestria'' fanfiction ''Tales of a Junk Town Pony Peddler'' is an AudioPlay similar to ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAdventures'', and made by the same fan studio, Ponyinabox Productions. The series started in April of 2013 with a one-shot story, ''Once in a Blue Moon'', in which we meet the titular character, Prodigious Peddler. Due to a high fan response it was expanded and continued, managing about an episode every two to three weeks. Each episode is named and themed around a Fallout-Era song, though occasionally it stretches those limitations and uses songs from the 70's. The series seems to take place sometime towards the end of the original story. It takes pages from the book of from ''Anime/CowboyBebop'' with musical themes and styles changing per episode, with a heavy focus on sugary sweet 60's era jams and a healthy mix of rock.

The series has so far had eleven episodes and is currently ongoing. All episodes can be found on [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9U6fFocEWcE&list=PLM59Gwk-2WQsgV6R0muUNb5TzP2lOCl0h&index=1 youtube]]

* BreakingSpeech: [[spoiler: When Peddler and Sunbeam find a walkie talkie on a recently deceased mercenary, Rainfall tries one of these on Sunbeam, threatening to: cut off Peddler's legs, split him down the middle examine his heart and keep him alive during the whole process.]]

* DoubleMeaningTitle: In ''Horse with No Name'' it is assumed that [[spoiler: The episode is named after the pony Sunbeam shoots at the end, who's name is never revealed]] what a lot of people miss in the secondary meaning which is that [[spoiler: at the beginning of the episode Peddler runs into a pony who is implied to be [[AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAdventures the Doctor]], a literal horse with no name. The episode [[{{Bookends}} opens and closes]] with Peddler meeting a pony with no name, then watching one die]].

** If you listen to what Dreamer says he often follows this trope. [[spoiler: Such a pretty bird]]

* TalkingYourWayOut: Peddler manages to convince a slaver he's obviously a Very Badass Person in disguise (well, can you tell how badass he is? Of course not, since he's travelling incognito. [[InsaneTrollLogic Logical?]]) He was speaking very, very calmly, ''[[RefugeInAudacity at a gunpoint]]''.

-->''Prodigious Peddler'': If you want her you're going to have to go through me, meaning you're going to have to do your worst, and do it at your best.

* AlternateUniverse: While the WordOfGod says that all Ponyinabox {{Audio Play}}s take place in the same universe, it has also been stated that this particular play takes place in the ''Fanfic/Fallout:Equestria'' universe, which is not in the same canon as the "Boxverse"

* BadassBoast: Peddler is prone to these, but a prominent example is during ''Light My Fire'' when he protects Sunbeam from Rainfall.

* BadassNormal: Peddler is an earth pony, in the wasteland this can be a hindrance, but he manages to be badass nonetheless through sheer tropeyness (seriously, he wouldn't be out of place in a SpaghettiWestern).

* ContinuityNod: While WordOfGod says that this series is not canon with ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAdventures'' Peddler gets a box of records from a strange lemon-loving pony in the middle of the desert who lives in a box.

* DoubleMeaningTitle: In ''Horse with No Name'' it is assumed that [[spoiler: The episode is named after the pony Sun Beam shoots at the end, who's name is never revealed]] what a lot of people miss in the secondary meaning which is that [[spoiler: at the beginning of the episode Peddler runs into a pony who is implied to be The Doctor, who is literally a horse with no name. The episode [[{{Bookends}} opens and closes]] with Peddler meeting a pony with no name, then watching one die]].
* DreamSequence: ''We Three'' is almost entirely this, Peddler falls asleep and dreams about his past, before finding himself in a bar with...himself?
* DreamWalker: Dreamer appears to be one of these, he pops up in all of Peddler's nightmares offering cryptic advice

* ExplainExplainOhCrap: [[spoiler: Sun Beam....the floor is black...]]

** If you listen to what [[Series/DoctorWho Strange Pony in a box]] tells Peddler, he says to 'Watch out for the Sun'. He meets Sun Beam within the same episode.

* IronicEcho: At the start of ''Horse with No Name'' Sun Beam comments on the strangeness of the song title within the context of their world. About a day later she's forced to shoot a ratter who tries to rob Peddler while they sleep, only to come to the realization that she never found out his name.
* MoodWhiplash: In ''Light My Fire'' things go from an [[CrowningMomentOfAwesome awesome victory]] for Peddler to [[spoiler: Peddler confronting Sun Beam about her secrets, ripping her cloak off and finding the burned nubby remains of where her wings used to as she weeps.]]

* SoundtrackDissonance: The series's bread and butter. Listen to Frank Sinatra as [[spoiler: Peddler shoots his previous traveling companion turned ghoul in the head]] or The Chordettes as [[spoiler: Sun Beams learns about a Stable where everyone was killed when a mad scientists put ethanol in the vents at lit a match]] or if that's not your speed why not Ella Fitzgerald while [[spoiler: We hear Peddler's wife screaming horribly during a flashback?]] Are you having fun yet?

* GutturalGrowler: Domino [[spoiler: since he's a ghul]].

* CliffHanger: In Ponyinabox Tradition the episodes Mr.Sandman and Rhapsody in Blue feature these.

* SlidingScaleOfRobotIntelligence: In ''Rhapsody in Blue'' Peddler and Sunbeam run into a tourbot who's still actively tending to the Coltforge Museum. He is smart enough to assist them through the museum, but does not realize the world has ended and that Peddler isn't a filly.

!!This series provides examples of:
* {{Adorkable}}: Sun Beam is adorably oblivious at times, and seems to show a genuine interest in the workings of the wasteland. It makes it even more horrifying [[spoiler: When you find out how she ended up in the wasteland in the first place]]
* AlternateUniverse: While the "WordOfGod" says that all Ponyinabox radioplays take place in the same universe, it has also been stated that this particular play takes place in the "Fanfic/Fallout:Equestria" universe, which is not in the same canon as the "Boxverse"
* AlliterativeName: Prodigious Peddler (You have to say the whole thing)

* BadassBoast: Peddler is prone to these, but in particular during Light My Fire when he protects Sunbeam from Rainfall. "If you want her you're going to have to go through me, meaning you're going to have to do your worst, and do it at your best."

* BreakingSpeech: [[spoiler: When Peddler and Sunbeam find a walkie talkie on a recently deceased mercenary Rainfall tries one of these on Sunbeam in which he threatens to: Cut off Peddler's legs, split him down the middle examine his heart and keep him alive during the whole process.]]

* CasualDangerDialog: When Peddler's in danger he tends to talk his way out of it, namely calmly addressing a slaver who is pointing a gun at his head.
* ContinuityNod: While WordOfGod says that this series is not canon with "AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAdventures" Peddler gets a box of records from a strange lemon loving pony in the middle of the desert who lives in a box.
* DarkAndTroubledPast: It is continually hinted at that Peddler has one of these. He traveled with someone before and it's never quite touched on who it is or how they came to (One could assume) die.
* DoubleMeaningTitle: In Horse with No Name it is assumed that [[spoiler: The episode is named after the pony Sun Beam shoots at the end, who's name is never revealed]] what a lot of people miss in the secondary meaning which is that [[spoiler: at the beginning of the episode Peddler runs into a pony who is implied to be The Doctor, who is literally a horse with no name.

*** This later turns into a Crowning Moment of Awesome when Rainfall makes that mistake.
* ShutUpHannibal: [[spoiler: Peddler shuts Rainfall up by shooting the walkie Talkie he's speaking out of.]]
* ShoutOut: There are several references to other FoE stories for those who listen closely. The 'Stable Dweller' is mentioned several times by Peddler and others, and in the most recent episode Peddler offhandedly mentions 'A mare in flank with a bounty on her head'. Readers of Fo:E sidestories might think of a certain mare with playing cards on her rump.
* SlidingScaleOfRobotIntelligence: In Rhapsody in Blue Peddler and Sunbeam run into a tourbot who's still actively tending to the Coltforge Museum. He is smart enough to assist them through the museum, but does not realize the world has ended and that Peddler isn't a filly.

* WhamEpisode: In Light my Fire, [[spoiler: Peddler and Sunbeam are almost killed numerous times, they discover the corpse of a small family and have to remove them from a kiddie ride in order to use it as a tool of murder, Peddler loses his patience with Sun Beam, find out she's being hunted by the enclave, blows up a museum and finds out that Sun Beam used to be a pegasus until her wings were apparently Burned. Off.]]

Prodigious Peddler is a Trader out in the Equestrian Wasteland, as he travels he meets various troubles and tribulations, until he's propositioned by a strange mare in a cloak by the name of Sunbeam while trading in town.

* SoundtrackDissonance: The series's bread and butter.

* {{Adorkable}}: Twilight when talking about Prance's history in Chords of Chaos. Not to mention Fetch from Q&A 3.
* AlternateHistory: The Ponyverse diverges from regular history obviously, but one particular example is that in this universe World War II was replaced by a giant party, or World Party II in which Prance(France) and Hoffinay(Germany) went into a war to see which nation could out-party the other. If only regular history could be as fun.
* AlternateUniverse: Almost all the shows made by Pony In A Box Productions take place in a single universe, known as "The Boxiverse," and are in canon with one another. It's slightly different from the main MLP universe; for example, while Daring Do is fictional in the main universe, in the Boxiverse, she was real and those books document her adventures.
* AnachronicOrder: "Shadows Of The Lunar Republic," takes place ''before'' "Wrong Way Backwards," despite being released later.
* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Luna was the Vashta Nerada's food source for nearly twenty years, causing her to snap back to her Nightmare Moon persona before the events of Friendship is Magic]].
* AtTheOperaTonight: The Doctor and Twilight attend an opera in Chords of Chaos. It is interesting to note that the opera they attend is real, and called back to several times as background music. This is also where [[spoiler: They first run into The Phantom, aka Dorian Mode.]]
* BadassBoast: "No matter where you go, no matter what you're planning, I will find you. And then you'll wish the Abstract Plane had turned you into a pebble."
** "I am alive. I am myself. I am [[spoiler: Dorian Mode]] And [[PunctuatedForEmphasis YOU! WILL! NOT! WIN! THIS! DAY!]]"
** "When I'm done, Equestria will never have to fear the darkness again. [[CatchPhrase Onwards and Upwards!]]"
* BreakingTheFourthWall: At the end of every episode and short the characters suddenly become aware they're in a radio drama, reading the credits in character, and even going so far as to point out how well their voice actors did and say hello to the audience.
--> '''Doctor:''' "This has been a Pony in a Box producti-"
--> '''Berry Bubble:''' "What are you doing?"
--> '''Doctor:''' "What? I'm announcing the end credits, you know, the people who make these things."
--> '''Pinkie Pie:''' "Oh you mean the people out there? Hello!"
** Played with in Express Delivery when the Doctor stops reading the script and is cut off by a censor.
** Also played with during the [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIigHA_GDY4&feature=plcp Interview with QCom]] after Episode 2 was released.
** The short entitled ''The Search'' is all about the characters trying to locate [[spoiler: Squeak (the leader of Pony in a Pox Productions and the creator of Doctor Whooves Adventures) so they can wish him Happy Birthday.]]
*** Not only do they break the 4th wall with the audience, they break the walls with ''other franchises''. At one point, Berry Bubble pulls a lever and the characters suddenly find themselves talking to Wrex from ''Franchise/MassEffect''.
** "Wrong Way Backwards Part 3" has the characters even lampshading how ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAndAssistant'' doesn't have a name for their studio, unlike the Adventures cast (Pony In A Box Productions).
* BreakingSpeech: [[spoiler: The Vashta Nerada, speaking through a possessed Celestia give one to Twilight after knocking out Viva and Pinkie, trapping the Doctor and taking back Luna stating that she's all alone and that she won't be if she just gives up and lets the Vashta Nerada possess her.]]
* {{Catchphrase}}:
-->'''Doctor:''' "Onwards and Upwards!"
* CliffHanger: Squeak seems really fond of these, leaving the fate of the Doc and co. up in the air until the next release. Chords of Chaos is particularly guilty of this.

* CompositeCharacter: While the Doctor is supposed to be on his twelfth incarnation, he mostly comes across as a combination of Doctors ten and eleven.
* ContinuityNod: Wrong Way Backwards is an ''excellent'' reminder of all the other times that the Doctor has met up with other versions of himself (The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, The Two Doctors, Time Crash, etc), and the most important fact about them: They. Do. Not. Get. Along. At all.
* CreatingLife: How Goodnight is created, a robot from an unspecified time or place made her in an attempt to understand how life works.
** During her imprisonment on the moon, Luna created a whole ''nation'' full of ponies. (Though it may have only been a small nation.)
* {{Crossover}}: with ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAndAssistant'' in [[http://askponyinabox.tumblr.com/post/21304733334/what-do-you-think-of-doctor-whooves-and-assistant#notes this]] non-canon comic from the Tumbler.
** Another crossover with it happened [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyht_jlcwK0 here,]] where the "Assistant," Doctor received an audio message from the "Adventures" doctor.
** [[spoiler:And ''again'' in "Wrong Way Backwards"]].
*** [[spoiler:During part three of "Wrong Way Backwards," the Doctors see at least two alternate universes, including one where his companion is Octavia, and the world of Blog/DiscordedWhooves , which, for added bonus points, is made by the same person as ''Doctor Whooves and Assistant''!]]
** The premise of the whole story is [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] traveling with [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle.]]
** The third mailbag special features an in-house crossover with ''Fanfic/TheVinylScratchTapes'' Master Recordings.
*** Octavia shows up again in ''The Search''.
** Wrex (from the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' games) has a cameo in ''The Search''.
* DeadpanSnarker: Twilight Sparkle. She tends to be very short with the Doctor at first, though she warms up later.
* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Almost all of Sergeant Kazoo and Madam Kazoo, the poor guy can't seem to win.
* EvilLaugh: Dorian Mode, the villain of ''Chords of Chaos'' and ''Pony of the Opera''
* ExplainExplainOhCrap: In Number 12(Part 2), Spike expresses his worries about the Weeping Pegasi to the Doctor. The Doctor explains that as long as they stick together, the Pegasi won't attack. [[spoiler: Then Spike points out that Twilight went to another section of the library alone.]]
* {{Fanboy}}: Fetch from mailbag three, to the point where Octavia screams it at him.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the short ''Good Day Goodnight'', two of the foals in Goodnight's class are named Bunsen Burner and Delta. These two characters play large roles in the sequel fiction to Number 12, titled "Traveler," which takes place fifty years from that date.
** Beaker, another pony from "Traveler," accidentally calls the Doctor during "The Search."
** "Cell Mates" takes place in 35 TR, and makes reference to "Raggedies."
** Beaker later pops up in Cell Mates after being captured, only to be rescued by the Doctor
** The Doctor yells "What time is it!?" When he lands, one of the themes of Traveler.
** The Vashta Nerada proclaim that "The nightmare never dies" when they are defeated and [[spoiler: Luna]] has suspicions that something bigger is at work.
* FourthWallMailSlot: Somehow, questions submitted to the tumblr askbox get forwarded to the Doctor himself.
* GenreSavvy: Upon learning of [[spoiler: Luna's]] suspicions. Twilight decides to stick with the Doctor because [[WeirdnessMagnet trouble always seems to follow the Doctor]].
* GhostSong: [[spoiler: Lydian's song, which plays whenever the Will'o'wisps manipulate Dorian, and finally when Lydian herself arrives in ghostly form.]]
* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Dorian Mode, after a talk with the ghost of Lydian.]]
* HeroicLineage: Of all ponies, ''Pinkie Pie.'' She's the great-granddaughter of Sergeant Pie from episodes 3 and 4, who "fought" on the front lines in World Party II. His ''sister'', Coco Pie, friend and ally to Daring Do in ''Daring Do Adventures,'' is Pinkie's great great aunt.
** It goes even ''further'' in the future, as in the year 1050 CR (in the new show "Mare-Do-Well Adventures"), Pinkie's granddaughter takes up the starring role.
* [[IdenticalGrandson Identical Great-Grandniece]]: Pinkie Pie to Coco Pie, in terms of voice and personality. Their coats and manes are different colors, though. (Coco is green.)
* ImprobableWeaponUser: Pinkie Pie. A [[spoiler: Battleaxe]] might not seem improbable, but it's certainly a bit off kilter for ponies and oddly effective on [[spoiler:Weeping Pegasi]].
* ImprobablyHighIQ: Goodnight tries to count the stars in the sky sometimes. It seems like something all of us have done, but Goodnight, unlike most of us, counted over a million in one night using an algorithm to work out how much light each galaxy was emitting, though she admitted it was a flawed process because red dwarfs just aren't consistent. If her memory is to be trusted Goodnight is hardly a few weeks old.
* IncrediblyLamePun: "Well, I guess diplomacy really is the key."
* TheLoad: Madame Kazoo not only complains incessantly when [[spoiler:she and Twilight are kidnapped]], she also refuses to [[spoiler:try to escape]], belittles Twilight's attempts, and tells her to stop trying because the noise it's making hurts her ears. Twilight compares her to Rarity, but notes that Rarity [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E19ADogAndPonyShow would have been helping]].
* MeaningfulName:[[spoiler:Dorian and Lydian Mode are both musical scales]]
* MysteriousEmployer: An odd real life example: No one knows anything about Squeak, full name Squeak-Anon (Literally Squeak-Anonymous)the head of the studio. He or she uses a voice changer in interviews, to the point where not even the VA's are quite sure of his/her gender, race, age or exact location.
* MythologyGag: [[spoiler: In Wrong Way Backwards Part 2, events in each show reference each other for this part, such as the assistants/companions refusal to refer to The Doctors as The Doctor.]]
** As a reference to the show's tendency to use {{Punny Name}}s for location, when the Doctor is explaining where he's from to Twilight she initially mispronounces Gallifrey as Gallopfrey.
* NeverSplitTheParty: The Doctor, Pinkie, Spike, and Twilight ''try'' to do this…but Doc's screwing up of Twilight's name sends her off in a huff [[spoiler: getting her captured by the Weeping Pegasi.]]
* NeverTrustATrailer: After the season one trailer most people assumed the pony with the feather in his cap from the Chords of Chaos poster to be the Master. [[spoiler: It's actually Dorian Mode, aka the Phantom. He's the antagonist of "Chords of Chaos" and "Pony of the Opera."]]
* NonIndicativeName: [[spoiler:[[OfficerAndAGentleman Dreary]]]] and [[spoiler:[[{{Tsundere}} Cheerful]]]] Kazoo.
* NoodleImplements: From the first mailbag video: "Pinkie! I brought the banana!"
** [[Recap/DoctorWhoNSS2E4TheGirlInTheFireplace You always want to bring a banana to a party.]]
%% * [[NothingCanStopUsNow Nopony Can Stop Me Now]]
* NotNowKiddo: The Doctor really ''must'' stop making a habit of this.
* OhCrap: When the Doctor states that the only reason they escaped the creature in the catacombs was because it needed a place to reverberate in order to exist. He then notices that they're in an opera house and reverberation is the main point of the whole building.
* OneOfUs: Several of the members of Pony In A Box Productions are tropers, and have have contributed significantly to this page.
* ThePowerOfLove: It's what [[spoiler: Makes Dorian Mode realize he's been tricked, and what brings Lydian back for a final goodbye to bring him back to life.]]
* PublicDomainSoundtrack: In Chords of Chaos the background music features several opera pieces from Howard Purcell (Or Howard P. Horsenail as the episode credits him)
* RuleSixtyThree: The entire premise of the Crossed Wires short. Featuring such well-known names as The Professor, Dusk Shine, and Berry Bubble.
** In the "Cell Mates" short, Cherry mentions that she visited there and met her male counterpart.
** In "The Search," the Professor notes that [[spoiler: Squeak-Anon]] is female in her universe.
* RunningGag:
** The Doctor throughout the first episode can't seem to get Twilight Sparkle's name right.
--->'''Doctor:''' "It's nice to meet you Midnight Twinkle"
*** This later turns into a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming when he finally gets it right.
*** Played with [[http://askponyinabox.tumblr.com/post/20776444234/twilights-very-protective-of-her-name here.]]
*** [[spoiler: This joke was brought up again in Wrong Way Backwards by BOTH doctors shortly after switching places and meeting each other's companion]]
** Also "How about the name Georgia?". Nobody likes the name Georgia...
** The Pony In A Box group (the ones responsible for making the show) loves to respond to any questions about future episodes or shorts with pictures of [[Series/DoctorWho River Song]] saying "Spoilers."
** In the Goodnight shorts, apparently nopony knows what the word 'People' means. The Doctor says it in front of Goodnight, who is momentarily confused and it may be counted as fridge brilliance that Goodnight makes the very same slip up the Doctor does in the next short afterwards.
*** The Doctor in general has problems with Equestrian terminology, such as how people respond to 'everypony' rather than 'everybody', how the rulers are referred to as princesses rather than queens, among other things.
* ShutUpHannibal: [[spoiler: Twilight's response to the above breaking speech is to point out that she'd never betray her friends and that she's not alone, then unleashing the power of her new friend the TARDIS to prove her point.]]
* SlidingScaleOfRobotIntelligence: The robot that created Goodnight is smart enough to create life from scratch, but too thick to realize that the Doctor does not operate on robot logic, allowing the Doctor to escape with her.

* SnarkyInanimateObject: In Pony of the Opera it's discovered that in this world the Doctor's screwdriver can talk to inanimate objects, namely the lock of a cell they happen to be trapped in. It turns out to be very snarky.

A spin-off of the popular [[Fanfic/Fallout:Equestria]]fanfiction Tales of a Junk Town Pony Peddler is an audioplay similar to Doctor Whooves Adventures, and made by the same fan studio, Ponyinabox Productions. The series started in April of 2013 with a one shot story, Once in a Blue Moon, in which we meet the titular character, Prodigious Peddler. Due to a high fan response the series was expanded and continued, managing about an episode every two to three weeks. Each episode is named and themed around a Fallout-Era song
