History WebVideo / FriendshipIsForAdults

* ParentalFavoritism: Twilight's parents Almost Openly favor Shining Armor over her and Spike

* WhatMeasureIsANonHuman: Subverted. Dragons are shown to be treated as equals. Most likely due to the dragons having the Largest Army on the Entire Planet.

* WithFriendsLikeThese: There's quite a bit of enmity within this version of the mane six. For maximum fireworks, the dislike is one-sided, to ensure the ponies in question interact a lot.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Twilight Sparkle, to the point where she borders on a [[VillainProtagonist Villain Protagonist]] in early episodes. Instead of the original show's kind but introverted unicorn searching to make friends, she is rewritten here as the unbelievably narcissistic treacherous student of Princess Celestia who is plotting to overthrow the princess, having apparently already tried and failed once before. She initially has no interest in friendship, seeing the other elements purely as possible "henchponies" (though she comes to care deeply about them and see them (minus Pinkie, though she is softening towards her) as friends by Episode 4) and treats hr adoptive dragon brother Spike like dirt, making him essentially her slave and effectively ignoring him by pretending that he speaks a different language when it suits her. Somehow, though, the show still manages to make her likeable, and she has softened up considerably as of Episode 7, but she was pretty bad at the beginning.

* [[https://youtu.be/l0XCDfdAZr4 Origin Story]]

* {{Crossover}}: "Scootertrix is For Adults", which is a crossover with ''ScootertrixTheAbridged''. Which led to the spinoff series ''Royal Correspondence''.

''Friendship Is For Adults'' is an AbridgedSeries based on ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'', in which the characters are reimagined as adult show type characters that curse like sailors. It stars Twilight Sparkle as she lives in Ponyville as punishment for disobeying Princess Celestia and trying to resurrect Nightmare Moon.

In addition to currently six episodes, there are also four audio-only specials, including a Christmas special, two Halloween specials and a Valentine's special.

An audio-only Origins story was released on July 31st, 2016.

* AdaptationalVillainy: Much like ''WebVideo/ScootertrixTheAbridged'', Trixie is rewritten to have previously known Twilight prior to the sixth episode.

*** Which she gets in trouble for in Episode 4.

* CastFullOfGay / EveryoneIsBi: Fluttershy and Rarity are a couple, Twilight has a crush on Rainbow Dash, and Rainbow Dash used to date Gilda and Spitfire. Also, Celestia has a thing for Twilight.

* DidntThinkThisOneThrough: In this version of Equestria, those jewels in the castle in the Everfree are superweapons created by ''Nightmare Moon''. When the mane six try to use them against NMM, she immediately overpowers them, and mocks them for being dumb enough to use her own weapons against her.

* EarlyBirdCameo: "Scootertrix is For Adults" establishes that this portrayal of Rarity is the mother of Sweetie Belle and hints that Rarity's father is missing, possibly dead.

* WorstAid: When Twilight is talking Applejack down from suicide, she means well but she gets frustrated and calls Applejack an idiot. Insulting someone who's suicidal is ''not'' a good idea (as the creators acknowledged in the commentary for that episode).

** Episode 5's bit where [[spoiler: Rainbow talks with the Scooby Gang for help regarding her current predicament with Gilda and Pinkie Pie]] was drawn by Kitaronicus.
