History AudioPlay / DoctorWhoovesAdventures

Based off the popular fanfiction ''Number 12'' (written by the same person who makes this series, Squeak Anon), the series starts off with the Doctor crash landing into Twilight's library while she's out running errands. She returns to find the TARDIS embedded in her basement and the Doctor beginning his twelfth incarnation. Though as it turns out... he may not have come alone.

* PluckyGirl: [[CheerfulChild Whimsy Bee]] is like Pinkie Pie, only smaller.

Based off the popular fanfiction ''Number 12'' (written by the same person who makes this series, Squeak Anon), the series starts off with the Doctor crash landing into Twilight's library as she's out running errands. She returns to find the TARDIS embedded in her basement and the Doctor beginning his twelfth incarnation. Though as it turns out...he may not have come alone.

The series has had seven full episodes and several short adventures, all available on Website/YouTube. (There are also a few non-canon "extra" videos, such as when the Doctor answers fan mail.) The series takes a noticeably darker tone than its sister show ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAndAssistant'' with a slightly more "Doctor Who-esqe" bent to the adventures. It is also notable in that it takes a page out of the classic Doctor Who radio plays, and actually airs, on Celestia Radio.

* 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.

* 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.]]

** 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).

* {{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.

* EvilLaugh: Dorian Mode, the villain of ''Chords of Chaos'' and ''Pony of the Opera''

** The Doctor yells "What time is it!?" When he lands, one of the themes of Traveler.

* 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]].

* 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.

** 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. [[spoiler: Cherry makes it too in ''Rhapsody in the Blue Box''.]]

* ShoutOut: In the first episode, having not yet been introduced to Twilight, the Doctor randomly asks if her name is Georgia. Georgia likely refers to Georgia Tennant, David Tennant's wife and Peter Davison's daughter, who plays Jenny, the Doctor's daughter.

* {{Tsundere}}: Mrs. Kazoo is a Type A. Normally she complains about her husband (and everything else). But when he's hurt, she shows that she really loves him.

* 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.]]

* MusicalEpisode: ''The Bells of Fate''.

* 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.'']]

Full Episodes:

Short episodes:

The "Goodnight" series of shorts:

* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZiQ6UHAPjJw&feature=plcp Good Day Goodnight]]: Goodnight gets used to life in Ponyville
* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tLGB5yMjU1o Good Show Goodnight]]: Goodnight awakes to find the world is covered in snow, but that might not be the only odd thing in ponyville...

Extras:

* 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.

** Justified in that the show takes many cues not from the modern Doctor Who (Doctors 9 through 12), but from the ''classic'' series, which did this frequently to stretch out a story.

** During her imprisonment on the moon, Luna created a whole ''nation'' full of ponies. (Though it may have only been a small nation.)

* DiggingYourselfDeeper: Almost all of Sergeant Kazoo and Madam Kazoo, the poor guy can't seem to win.

* 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.

* TimeyWimeyBall: from ''The Search.''

** ''Rhapsody in Blue Box It starts off pretty low-key, with a new character named Penny Dreadful investigating reports from ponies who've encountered the Doctor and the TARDIS (known as "the Call Box"), but then... [[spoiler: Cherry Bomb from "Cell Mates" shows up and whisks her off to investigate a site where the TARDIS may show up. Along the way, Cherry reveals her nature as a time traveler and confirms that the Doctor is one as well, and Penny explains that she thinks there's some sort of connection between the Doctor and herself, as the reported incidents all happened very close to her own haunts. They reach the site, and Cherry abandons her just before the TARDIS appears. The Doctor emerges and is horrified to see Penny, and she starts to remember having been his companion, and yet having not. He sadly explains that she only exists because the timeline has been altered -- and the key event is Twilight becoming Equestria's new Princess and taking over from an ailing Celestia. Penny starts to be [[RetGone erased from existence]] due to her nature as a living time paradox, and though she quickly comes to terms with it, the Doctor is torn up with grief and guilt over her having to be aware of it. Later, after she's "dead", he meets up with Cherry, who tries to comfort him over his loss and reminds him that they have bigger problems right now -- the timeline is in worse and worse flux, and Twilight is at the center of it all, with the Doctor describing her time with him as having been a trap from the start. Thus, an episode that initially seems like filler between "The Bells of Fate" and "The Castle Above" contains a key piece of the larger StoryArc and quite the unexpected gut-punch.]]

* YouWillBeBeethoven: [[spoiler: Also Nightshift to a degree. He was sent back in time to become a weather pioneer who already existed in the timeline.]]

* AnachronicOrder: "Shadows Of The Lunar Republic" and "Bells of Fate" take place ''before'' "Wrong Way Backwards," despite being released later.

* 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.]]

** "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).

** [[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''!]]

* 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.

* 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.

* 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.]]

*** This later turns into a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming when he finally gets it right.

** 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.

* {{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.

** Played with in Express Delivery when the Doctor stops reading the script and is cut off by a censor.

-->'''Doctor:''' "Onwards and Upwards!"

** Lampshaded by the Doctor during the Chords of Chaos credits.
** Justified in that the show takes many cues not from the modern Doctor Who (Doctors nine through 12), but from the ''classic'' series, which did this frequently to stretch out a story.

* 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.

* {{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."

* GoodAllAlong: In Part 3 of Wrong Way Backwards, it is revealed that [[spoiler:the Cheshire cats who started the whole thing were former pets of Lewis Carrot, and have been setting things up to defeat the Jabberwock the whole time]].

* 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.

* MeaningfulName:[[spoiler:Dorian and Lydian Mode are both musical scales]]

* 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.]]

* 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."]]

* 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.

-->'''Doctor:''' "Love a thick robot."
* 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.

* {{Tsundere}}: Mrs. Kazoo is a Type A. Normally she complains about her husband. But when he's hurt, she shows that she really loves him.

** "Shadows of the Lunar Republic". Let's count it off, shall we? [[spoiler: Twilight has to decide whether or not she wants to stay with the Doctor, but before you have five seconds to come to terms with the idea she might say no she's... ([[MotorMouth deep breath]]) Almost eaten, discovers Celestia's in danger, has to outrun a wall of shadows that want to eat her, communicates magically with the TARDIS, becomes its FRIEND, ends up on the moon, finds the last member of a dead race, discovers Luna was being EATEN by Vasta Nerada for 19 YEARS which made her turn back into Nightmare Moon, gets back to Equestria, distracts them with Tiptoe Through the Tulips, only for Celestia herself to show up POSSESSED BY VASTA NERADA, who try to EAT PRINCESS LUNA and are only stopped by Twilight using her friendship with the TARDIS to use it's light to drive them back and letting Luna use her powers to make the moon brighter than the sun to drive them away. There is literally not a single dull moment in this episode.]]
** "Rhapsody in Blue Box". It starts off pretty low-key, with a new character named Penny Dreadful investigating reports from ponies who've encountered the Doctor and the TARDIS (known as "the Call Box"), but then... [[spoiler: Cherry Bomb from "Cell Mates" shows up and whisks her off to investigate a site where the TARDIS may show up.

* GhostSong: [[spoiler: Lydian's song, which plays whenever the Will'o'wisps manipulate Dorian, and finally when Lydian herself arrives in ghostly form.]]

* WhamEpisode: Shadows of the Lunar Republic, let's count it off shall we? [[spoiler: Twilight has to decide whether or not she wants to stay with the Doctor, but before you have five seconds to come to terms with the idea she might say no she's...

* AnachronicOrder: "Shadows Of The Lunar Republic," takes place ''before'' "Wrong Way Backwards," despite being released later.

* OneOfUs: Several of the members of Pony In A Box Productions are tropers, and have have contributed significantly to this page.
** To the extent their DaringDo shorts and episodes are based (partially) on the fictional trope page that was created for that character.

* TalkingToHimself: Or in this case Herself, Lauren Goodnight features as the voice of Rarity and Twilight Sparkle in first episode, and Twilight and the Professor in Crossed Wires. And again with Wollfeey, who plays both Goodnight and Prima Donna in ''Good Day Goodnight'', in the same take no less.

The series has had six full episodes and several "short" adventures all available on Website/YouTube. (There are also a few non-canon "extra" videos, such as when the Doctor answers fan mail.) The series takes a noticeably darker tone than its sister show ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAndAssistant'' with a slightly more "Doctor Who-esqe" bent to the adventures. It is also notable in that it takes a page out of the classic Doctor Who radio plays, and actually airs, on Celestia Radio.

* [[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EQkqbZK_Kec=feedlik Number 12 (Part Two)]]: The second part of the pilot, in which Twilight is kidnapped by creatures that can never, ever die…The first two "Pilot" episodes are based on the original fan fiction, and new content will start with episode three.

* Shout-Out: In the first episode, having not yet been introduced to Twilight, the Doctor randomly asks if her name is Georgia. Georgia likely refers to Georgia Tennant, David Tennant's wife and Peter Davison's daughter, who plays Jenny, the Doctor's daughter.

** Also "How about the name Georgia?". Nobody likes the name Georgia...
