Funny / Tantabus Mark II

Go To

  • The end of Lyra's dream, and Twilight's reaction.
    Twilight's eyes widened and she turned her head to one side. "Okaaaay," she whispered, mortified, putting up a hoof to block her eyes. "I think this is a happy dream for her and we're done here."
    The Tantabus wasn't happy about that. "But—"
    "Ithinkthisisahappydreamforherandwe'redonehere!"
    Luna seemed to agree, for the words had scarcely left Twilight's mouth and they were gone.
  • Moondog visits Pinkie in her dream. Pinkie manages to turn the dream around and give it a surprise party. Moondog's confusion is represented by Pinkie hacking the dream code so that Moondog can't get any information off her except that Pinkie would really like it to try some cake.
  • In Corner Cases, set after the canon episode A Royal Problem, AKA the Starlight royal cutie mark switching incident:
    • Moondog tries to intimidate Starlight:
    Moondog: Hiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii. You switched my mom’s and aunt’s cutie marks. I don’t like it when ponies switch my mom’s and aunt’s cutie marks.
    • Moondog's first on-screen attempt at creating nightmares:
    “Still, you must face the Procession of Shame!”
    And suddenly Starlight was flanked by Nightmare Moon and Daybreaker, glowering down at her with murder in their eyes. She squeaked like a mouse getting stepped on and cowered on the ground. She curled into a ball and pulled her legs over her head. “I’msorry I’msorry I’msorry!” she wailed. “It was a mistake! I didn’t mean-”
    “Shame!” said Nightmare Moon. “Shame! Shame.”
    “Bad unicorn!” said Daybreaker sternly. Very sternly.
    “Shame,” Nightmare Moon growled.
    As the expected godlike spell-slinging remained absent, Starlight’s ears went up and she peeked out from behind her legs, frowning. “Uh…”
    A corrupted version of Cadance coalesced from nothing, her mane crackling with pink lightning. Heartbreaker? Mad Love? “Shaaaaaaaame,” she hissed as she pointed at Starlight.
    The alicorns circled around Starlight, repeating, “Shame!”, and her patience vanished in seconds. “This is your idea of getting back at me?” she asked. “Really? A high-schooler wouldn’t find this that bad!”
    “Oh, maybe not now,” Moondog said airily. “But ask me again in eight hours, when-”
    “Okay, yeah, no,” Starlight said flatly.
