Web Animation: PONY.MOV

PONY.MOV is a flash series created by HotDiggedyDemon. It's basically My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic if it was created by John Kricfalusi and involves a metric ton of Mind Screw. The basic premise is the same as the show - ponies doing... stuff. Except with a much darker, more grotesque twist. And swag.

The videos so far:

APPLE.MOV
Uh Oh
HE'S COMING
DRESS.MOV
Watch out, Ashleigh
SHED.MOV
SPIKE.MOV
MAGIC.MOV
Installments about Pinkie Pie (Confirmed as PARTY.MOV) and Rainbow Dash (now confirmed as SWAG.MOV) are coming soon.

There's also an Ask a Pony blog, ASK JAPPLEACK

, as well as a Twitter for Paco

from DRESS.MOV and SPIKE.MOV.

PONY.MOV contains examples of:

Abusive Parents: Pinkie Pie says her dad makes her put broken glass in her vagina.
Affectionate Parody: As dark, violent, and disgusting as these shorts are, you can still tell that HotDiggedyDemon made them out of love.
- Also, Fluttershy to Fat Albert, somewhat. Taken up a notch when she actually sings a variation of the famous theme song.
A.I. Is a Crapshoot: The RD-5000.
Animal Gender Bender: Rarity, despite being a female equine, has man tits!
- Rainbow Dash also has masculine nipples.
April Fools' Day: The punchline of SPIKE.MOV.
Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking:
RD-5000: Crush. Kill. Destroy. Swag.
Art Shift:
- HE'S COMING is made from clips of the actual show.
- Also, in SHED.MOV, Fluttershy changes into her design from the show at the very end.
- Jappleack waking up in normal Equestria, where everything is styled just like the show.
- When Twilight accidentally summons a demon to help Discord destroy Ponyville in MAGIC.MOV, she and Spike have a Reaction Shot that very much resembles The Simpsons.
Ass Shove: More like an Ass Poke, but Twilight Sparkle does this to Fluttershy using her horn in DRESS.MOV.
Asshole Victim:
- Rainbow Dash in SHED.MOV.
- Rarity's "generous beating" in DRESS.MOV
A Worldwide Punomenon: "I've heard of shock humor, but this is ridiculous!"
- "I guess it's true what they say. There really is no sense in beating a dead horse," *rimshot*
Back from the Dead: Twilight attempts to do this to Rainbow Dash in MAGIC.MOV. She fails.
Bad Boss: Rarity in DRESS.MOV.
Balloon Belly: Applejack after eating tons of apples.
Beware the Nice Ones: Fluttershy in SHED.mov
Big Eater: Applejack, if somepony questions her ability to eat all the apples.
"Uh... Fu... Forget you! Ah can eat all these apples!"
Bigger on the Inside: Fluttershy's shed.
Black Comedy
Brain Food: In SHED.MOV, Fluttershy tries to eat Rainbow Dash's brain.
Break the Cutie: SHED.MOV gives quite the Freudian Excuse to Fluttershy.
Break the Haughty: Jappleack after Applebloom dies. See Cerebus Syndrome below.
Butch Lesbian: Rainbow Dash, of course!
Call Back: When Twilight attempts to bring Rainbow Dash back to life, her and Spike hover over the body, in which Spike asks "Yo Rainbow Dash... you alright?" almost exactly how he had said it to Applejack in APPLE.MOV.
Catchphrase: "Swag!" - Rainbow Dash
- Spike: "Hey, how's about a wanna have a pizza pie?" *Laugh Track* "That's my catchphrase." Though it's inverted with Spike, as he only says it once.
- Fluttershy: "Hey hey hey. Stay out of my shed."
Cerebus Syndrome: Ask Jappleack has fallen into this trope after Applebloom's death (To be fair, the fact that the creator of this series also made Jerry probably explains this).
- Let's examine this a little more. Ask Jappleack began as your usual Tumblr Ask Blog Fourth Wall Mail Slot. People sent in questions and Japple answers them in an odd and non-sequitur manner. Around the time that Jappleack begins to assault Applebloom, the blog began to be more Dude, Not Funny! than the previous Crosses the Line Twice humor. After a flurry of fan feedback, Jappleack finally made peace with Applebloom, and offhandedly wondered what she would do if anything were to happen to Applebloom, discovering how dependent she is on her little sister. Then SHED.MOV happened, which had Applebloom dying in the first scene. Afterwards, Jappleack suffered from depression, and it was revealed that Winona had also been killed in Discord's onslaught. Jappleack then began to lose her interest in apples, and out of desperation, ate a pear at a fruit stand. Disgusted at herself, the scene cut to Jappleack taking a cold shower, sprawled out on the floor of the shower room. She began to accept the miserable state of her life... and then she began to hallucinate the applematrix that appeared in APPLE.MOV. And let's just say that the whole blog got a lot more complicated after that.
Characterization Marches On: In APPLE.MOV, Rarity was thinner and didn't have the upper-class voice she does in DRESS.MOV.
Character Blog: The Ask a Pony blog ASK JAPPLEACK.
Cluster F-Bomb: Applejack in the blog.
Comedic Sociopathy
Continuity Nod: When trying to resurrect Rainbow Dash in MAGIC.MOV, Spike looks at her and says "Yo, Rainbow Dash. You alright?" The scene is nearly identical to one in APPLE.MOV, except this one features Rainbow Dash instead of Applejack.
Creepy Shadowed Undereyes: Fluttershy gets these in SHED.MOV.
Crossover: With June at the end of SPIKE.MOV.
Cruelty Rich Leather: Fluttershy's shed has skinned critters all over the walls and a skinned Derpy as a toaster cozy.
Crush Kill Destroy Swag: The RD-5000.
A Date with Rosie Palms: In DRESS.MOV when Twilight randomly starts... clopping.
Dead Baby Comedy: The series began to move toward this around SHED.MOV.
Death By Racism: Rarity gets quite a "generous beating" from the illegal Mexican immigrants whom she forced to make her dresses.
Dem Bones: In SHED.MOV, the skinned critters come to life during the musical number.
Deranged Animation: It looks like Spümcø made it.
Distracted by My Own Sexy: Rarity breaks her routine of abusing her workforce to gaze at her reflection, calling herself "the most beautiful creature in all of Ponyville".
Distracted by the Sexy: Upon entering Fluttershy's corpse filled shed, the first thing both Spike and Rainbow Dash notice is the porn.
Dramatic Irony: From Paco's Twitter "Today is Hearts and Hooves Day. Meesus Rarity gave me a chocolate-covered heart. She said she found it outside Meesus Fluttershy's shed."
- FatBitch: Rarity, in DRESS.MOV.
Early Installment Weirdness:
- In APPLE.MOV, Rarity is as thin as the other ponies in the series. In DRESS.MOV, she is shown to be quite obese.
- The same goes for Pinkie's unibrow.
  - Which returns in SHED.MOV's flashback sequence.
- Rainbow Dash's cutie mark, which changes from the normal one to two female symbols overlapping.
Extremely Short Timespan: From DRESS.MOV to MAGIC.MOV, they seem to have taken place within one day. DRESS.MOV taking place in the morning, SHED.MOV taking place later at that day, MAGIC.MOV taking place at night and so on.
Fan Disservice: Rarity's bitchtits and Twilight's clopping.
Fat and Proud: Rarity. Though she seems blissfully unaware she's fat.
Fat Bastard: Rarity in DRESS.MOV easily qualifies.
Feather Fingers: parodied a few times. In SHED.MOV Fluttershy unexplicably gains fingers (which she snaps) for a moment. Even better, in MAGIC.MOV Twilight's hoof suddenly visibly sprouts a finger for the sole sake of pressing a button.
Foreshadowing:
- After her Pet the Dog moment, Applejack makes an innocent comment foreshadowing something in SHED.MOV.
- She made vague comments lying casually down in the same position before both DRESS.MOV and SHED.MOV.
- Fluttershy's cutie mark is a bloody knife.
  - And she also foreshadowed the subject of SHED.MOV in DRESS.MOV, warning others in a running gag to "stay outta [her] shed"
- Early on, a reader pointed out the danger in eating too many whole apples, in that the seeds contain small amounts of cyanide. They were reassured that Jappleack eats only cartoon apples. And yet...
Fourth Wall Mail Slot: The Ask a Pony blog ASK JAPPLEACK.
- We also have Paco's Twitter account. Just don't tell Meesus Rarity.
Furry Reminder: Twilight poops just like a real horse.
Grossout Show
Heartbreaking in Hindsight: Anything involving Applebloom since Shed.MOV
Heroic BSOD: Jappleack has been going through this ever since Applebloom died.
Hold Your Hippogriffs: Discussed by Spike, as he asks what is the point of saying "anypony" instead of "anybody."
Hostile-ish Blog Takeover: Jappleack's tumblr has been taken over by canon!Applejack after she knocked Jappleack out cold.
- From canon!Applejack's point of view this is a subversion, since Jappleack is the one who jumped between dimensions. Canon!Applejack acted out of supposed self-defense, and both of them are waiting for Twilight to figure out what's going on.
Homage: SHED.MOV has clear shades of Carrie, including a near-recreation of the blood prank, the only difference being the source of the blood.
Informed Trait: Rarity's generosity.
- Really, assuming the bearers of the elements are the same as in canon, most of the ponies count - Fluttershy is... not particularly kind, Pinkie Pie is revealed to be a very depressed pony with an abusive father, and we've yet to see any display of loyalty from Rainbow Dash.
Insistent Terminology: Rarity constantly refers to herself as being the most generous Pony in all Ponyville.
Jerkass: Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie towards Fluttershy.
Jump Scare: The endings of SHED.MOV and MAGIC.MOV show Psycho!Fluttershy's Nightmare Face flying right at you. Subverted in MAGIC.Mov, which gives off several moments where it looks like Rainbow Dash's corpse will suddenly spring up, but nothing happens.
Kaiju: Discord
Discord: I AM YOUR GOD NOW! BRING ME YOUR VIRGINS!
- Also the demon that Twilight unwittingly summoned while trying to revive Rainbow Dash.
Karma Houdini: Pinkie Pie didn't receive her punishment like Rainbow Dash did for bullying Fluttershy in the past. However, if she is to be believed, then she, unlike Dash, has a huge Freudian Excuse of her own:
Pinkie Pie: My daddy makes me put glass in my vagina.
Know-Nothing Know-It-All: Twilight's big ego and complete failure to achieve anything in MAGIC.MOV make her out to be this.
Killed Off for Real:
- Princess Celestia, Derpy Hooves, Gilda, Apple Bloom and Rainbow Dash are all dead as of MAGIC.Mov.
- Winona as well. Way to go, Spongebobbies.
Larynx Dissonance: All of the Mane Cast, the only exception being Twilight, sound very male, especially Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, the latter sounding like Fat Albert.
Let's Get Out of Here/Screw This, I'm Outta Here: In SHED.MOV, Spike and Pinkie Pie bolt the minute Fluttershy arrives in the shed with a chainsaw.
- Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle right before Applebloom gets crushed by Discord.
Lipstick Lesbian: Fluttershy, if the porn in her shed is any indication.
Mad Artist: "Wow, Fluttershy sure has a lot of weird art..."
Mad Scientist: Twilight Sparkle's attempt to raise Rainbow Dash from the dead. Didn't work.
Madness Mantra: What "Stay out of my shed!" apparently started as.
Mind Screw: Ask Jappleack combines this and Cerebus Syndrome to interesting effect. (See above)
Mood Whiplash: Applejack, after SHED.MOV
Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Twilight Sparkle's first two attempts to revive/substitute Rainbow Dash, first by use of Black Magic and then by creating a robot substitute. To a degree she succeeded in both, but not with the intended results; instead of fighting Discord, the attempts added to Ponyville's destruction.
No Celebrities Were Harmed: The announcer who declares Fluttershy to be Prom Queen in a flashback in SHED.MOV bears a strong physical and vocal resemblance to Jeff Foxworthy.
Noodle Incident: Apparently, the way Rarity coerced Paco into working for her involved a dropped ice cream cone.
Not in the Face!: Rarity exclaims "Not my generous face!" upon recieving her generous beating.
Officer O'Hara: The pony cop from Shed.mov speaks with an Irish accent.
"Alright, alright, what's goin' on in here?"
Overly-Long Gag: The entire point of SPIKE.MOV.
The Other Darrin: Rarity and Pinkie Pie have different voices (And far less generic personalities) in later episodes to those they had in the first. Though Rarity's voice actor is the same in both appearances, he's just making a very different performance.
Other Me Annoys Me: Jappleack and Canon!Applejack.
Pet the Dog: Applejack, after being told to show her sister some affection.
Put on a Bus: Rarity, who hasn't been seen since DRESS.MOV (Paco's Twitter account confirms that she's still alive.) In-universe (because we, the audience do keep tabs on her via her Tumblr), Jappleack, who hasn't been seen around the Mane Six or any movie since APPLE.MOV (even more so now that she's been taken to the canon universe.)
Refuge in Audacity: The main source of humor.
Robot Me: The RD-5000.
Room Full of Crazy: Fluttershy's shed.
Shaggy Dog Story: MAGIC.MOV
Shower of Angst: Jappleack takes one after eating a pear.
Something Else Also Rises: In SHED.MOV, Rainbow Dash looks at porn and gets a wingboner.
Squashed Flat: Twilight at the end of DRESS.MOV.
The Stoner: Spike.
Strange Minds Think Alike: Rainbow Dash and Pinkie Pie in APPLE.MOV.
Subverted Kids Show
This Is Gonna Suck: "Well, we're fucked."
Trademark Favorite Food: Applejack sure does love apples.
Applejack: Boy, lemme tell ya - I sure do love apples.
- This is brutally Deconstructed in the blog.
Trapped in Another World: As of the newest blog entry, Applejack/Jappleack isn't in Equestria anymore...at least not her Equestria.
Trope 2000: The RD-5000.
Un Entendre: In MAGIC.MOV Spike delivers this gem:
Twilight: I'm going to try a black magic resurrection spell.
Spike: How about you resurrect my penis. (beat) With sex.
Villain Song: "Gunna Eat'cha Brains," sung in the tune of the Fat Albert theme song.
Waking Up Elsewhere: After consuming enough apples, Jappleack ends up in the normal version of Equestria, knocked out cold by Applejack.
Visual Pun: Selfish, greedy Rarity constantly talks about how generous she is. The only generous thing about her is her obese figure. And the beating she gets when her Mexican workers start a "revolucion".
Wham Line: "I hate to tell you this, Jappleack, but... you're the one who's not real."
- And then shortly therefter: "What's 'died'?" (Note that this somewhat contradicts canon, since we've seen at least one on-screen [[MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E17HeartsAndHoovesDay funeral.](Unless you consider we aren't IN the canon universe, judging from the mentions of the Holy Titans and how pony of faith was italicized in the latest comic, we're prolly in a very similar to canon Equestria.)])
Who's Laughing Now?: SHED.MOV.
Why Did You Make Me Hit You?: Jappleack sometimes does this to Applebloom
Wild Take
Writer's Block: Twilight struggles to write a letter to Princess Celestia because she hasn't learned anything, so she screws it up and throws it in the trash, which is full of other balls of screwed up paper. Not that Princess Celestia is even alive at that point...
Wrong Genre Savvy: Twilight's theories about ressurecting cadavers are all from movies, and she doesn't understand why they don't work.
Yank the Dog's Chain: In SHED.MOV, Apple Bloom gets her cutie mark and promptly squished by Discord.
