Citing reasons like "being genuinely tired of doing the same show for several years" and "we want to do other things too", the creators have put the project on a hiatus. They promised to continue it sometime in the future. Said promise came to fruition in early 2016, when they released part 2 of ''Horse Women.'' However, given that both creators began developing their own solo projects in the interim (Jenny with her YouTube channel, Griffin with his Fandroid persona and associated YouTube channels), the likelihood of the duo returning to the series is getting increasingly dimmer.

''Friendship is Witchcraft'' is an AbridgedSeries using material from ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. It is a joint project headed by Jenny Nicholson and Griffin Lewis under the collective pseudonym Sherclop Pones. Most of the voices are done by Jenny Nicholson while Griffin Lewis does the music, editing, and some of the voices (mostly secondary characters).
Rather than directly parodying the show, it presents a version of the MLP universe where each character is just a bit... different. Twilight Sparkle is an ADD-addled narcissistic sociopath with aspirations of royalty, Spike is a universally scorned target of abuse, Fluttershy is the insane leader of an apocalyptic cult, Rarity is a PTSD-affected war veteran devoted to said cult, Applejack a war criminal and a Southern stereotype (as written by a space alien), Rainbow Dash is self-absorbed to the point of sometimes speaking [[PokemonSpeak using her name alone]], and Pinkie Pie is an orphan who just wants to be loved. Oh, and Sweetie Belle is a robot, but no one seems to have noticed. The resulting show almost feels like a pony version of ''WesternAnimation/{{Sealab 2021}}''.
The series features original background music and even original musical numbers. Via use of clever editing and special effects, it even seems to be developing its own story arc, revolving around Pinkie's attempts to use gypsy magic to go back in time and save her dead parents. All the while, Fluttershy is attempting to prevent her from meddling with time magic as she leads a cult dedicated to the revival of Smooze and [[TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt bring about the world's ending]], and their goals apparently are in direct opposition to each other.
The team have an old [[http://www.youtube.com/user/SherclopPones Youtube]] channel, though now updates are done [[http://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJI4dS-3rg-VrlN8kfSMQnw here]]. Like most [=MLP=] abridged series, ''Friendship Is Witchcraft'' has run into issues with copyright claims from Creator/{{Hasbro}} (the real one), resulting in their videos on Website/YouTube being blocked to U.S. audiences for an indefinite period of time (remind you of [[Creator/LittleKuriboh anyone?]]). An attempt was made to move the series to Vimeo, but those videos ended up being blocked as well (for those wanting to see the series, mirror sites are available). Despite this, the creators insist that the series is not dead. Both creators have launched side projects, available for viewing on their Youtube channel: Jenny's "Kimi Sparkle" series, a parody of WebVideo/MLPAnalysis videos, and Griffin's "Silver Spoon Escapes from Camp Energy", a LetsPlay of {{VideoGame/Limbo}} done as a series of largely improvised stream-of-consciousness ramblings done in character as Silver Spoon. They have also started a multi-part series based on the ''WesternAnimation/EquestriaGirls'' movie, entitled ''Horse Women''.
Citing reasons like "being genuinely tired of doing the same show for several years" and "we want to do other things too", the creators have put the project on a hiatus. They promised to continue it sometime in the future.

** Episode 8 ventures into much darker territories with its humor. Most episodes generally retain the same storyline with bizarre, humorous changes, but "[[HurricaneOfPuns Foaly Matripony]]" involves Twilight sabotaging her brother's wedding so that she can marry him, [[spoiler:and leaving Cadence in a cave beneath Canterlot to die.]]

* BlackMagic: There is a distinction between "legal magic" and "witchcraft". The difference has not been explicitly defined, but it would appear that unicorn magic falls in the former category, while the latter seems to encompass gypsy magic and magic invoked by summoning dark spirits, such as what the Snooty Snark Evaders use to [[spoiler: blind Babs]].
* BlahBlahBlah: In "Cute From The Hip", Twilight apparently hears everything Apple Bloom says as her just saying "Apples!" repeatedly. She thinks she's speaking "Applenese".
* BlindWithoutEm: Rainbow Dash admits that her astigmatism made her too nearsighted to join the army during the war or the Wonderballs now. Everything's blurry from her viewpoint. She mistakes Apple Bloom for Applejack at first, and then later both Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. She refuses to listen to her eye doctor about getting glasses, though.

* {{Bowdlerise}}: The entire "buy some apples" RunningGag was a punch intentionally made on ridiculous censorship.
** "Lunar Slander" begins with a notice explaining that DOLE has issued a cease-and-desist letter stopping the series from using the word "apple." Every mention of apples in the episode (including Applejack's name and the "buy some apples" gag above) is dubbed over with a different fruit, and every visual depiction of apples (including the apple-bobbing tub and AJ's cutie mark) is blurred out.
