However, in May 2017, he announced that he was ending the ''Mentally Advanced Series'', due to how divorced from the series it was meant to parody it got, and starting a new series called ''WebVideo/NepotismAdventureSeries'', which would parody ''Friendship is Magic'' at the point it is now (and will get its own page once the show begins). Later plans for MAS and other minor details can be found [[http://fimflamfilosophy.tumblr.com/post/161340484440/since-mas-has-ended-can-you-tell-us-where-you#notes here]].

* UnexpectedCharacter: Breezen, a villain from Generation One that many viewers may of not heard of, has taken over Discord's place in the Season Two premier. See YMMV for more details.

Greg has vowed to continue ''Mentally Advanced'', and that (due to Petirep being too busy) he is learning to draw and use Flash in order to create new episodes that ''can't'' be auto-flagged. The first "experiment" in the new style is [[http://youtu.be/HQYXNqTwW1c here.]] Fittingly, it's a prequel episode. As of mid-2015, he releases about one new episode a month, along with the occasional short, starting from "Ticket Master" again. Despite retreading the same episodes, the scripts are completely different.

** Also in the same video, we have Thrackerzod's escape plan, which also doubles as a ShoutOut to ''LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple''.

*** Thrackerzod instructs the foals how to escape the factory like Olmec would in ''LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple''.

* BritishAccents: Celestia speaks with a thick, gruff cockney accent. Spike is from {{Scotireland}}.

* EvilBrit: Celestia [[BritishAccents sounds like an East End gangster]], which compliments her grotesque evil.

* AdaptationExpansion: The "Beautiful Day" episode of ''Rainbow Dash Presents'' shows the canon ending to the fic. [[spoiler:Twilight finds a gorilla night club in the middle of the Everfree Forest.]]

** At the begging of "The Star in Yellow", Twilight is reading [[TheyMightBeGiants Building a Birdhouse in your Soul]].

* AuthorTract: Greg is prone to these, This trait is mostly carried over to Rainbow Dash. Occasionally Twilight.

* CrapsaccharineWorld: The world is bright, colorful, and populated by adorable animals. There's also a lot of FantasticRacism going around, the government is incompetent when it isn't corrupt, the ruling god-queen is a [[TheCaligula twisted]], malevolent, [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen iron-hoofed tyrant]] who practices all manner of torture and genocide, and there are all manner of [[CosmicHorrorStory Lovecraftian]] [[EldritchAbomination horrors]] lurking at the fringes of reality.

--> '''Rainbow Dash:''' "You put too much dizzy stuff in the cupcakes."

-->'''Pinkie Pie:''' "You were to procure misery from the miserable Fluttershy. An easy task, if Pinkie were to remark. Yes. But... instead... YOU RETURN WITH A HAIRBRUSH!"\\
'''Twilight:''' "No! I know hairbrush fits prominently into the equation here!"

--> '''Pinkie Pie:''' "I have a better plan! I am going to wear a box, and the box is full of poison lobsters!"

-->'''Applejack:''' "Maybe I should kick y'all in your pretty face!"\\
'''Rarity:''' "You really think my face is pretty?"

--->'''Rarity''': "Whoa. You got ''faaaaaaaaaaat''."

--> '''Twilight''' (thinking): ''You can save this, Twilight, you can save this... think of a lie!'' *spoken* "Uhh, I don't know!" *thought* ''NO! That was WRONG, so WRONG!''\\
'''Celestia''': "You don't know?"\\
'''Twilight''': "I ''do'' know!"\\
'''Celestia''': "Then you lied to me?"\\

-->'''Princess Luna''': "[...] ''As nopony invites Luna!"''

--> '''Apple Bloom:''' "[[LackOfEmpathy Children have no Empathy]]; I don't even ''care!'' Now you get me some ''friggin' ice cream!!''"

-->'''Surprise''': "Man, get over it! After a few of these, it's like nothing! Sure, you stay up late at night thinking about how your family would think of you, you wonder what Pony Hell's gonna be like, but other than that it's no big deal!"

-->'''Thrackerzod''': "I love to ride bikes! In the park! With... my friends!"

-->'''Thrackerzod''': "We are normal."

-->'''Rainbow Dash''': "This job does not need a degree / That is how they got stuck with me / I need this for Healthcare, you see / So I can afford therapy!"

--> '''Rainbow Dash:''' "Oh my god, when we get back from this, we are SO getting laid!"\\
'''Rarity:''' "But I already get laid frequently!"\\
'''Pinkie Pie:''' "Ah, Rarity, you are a slut."

-->'''Spike''': "I admitted to things you ''didn't'' do! They asked me if you were secretly workin' for [[Franchise/{{Godzilla}} Mothra]]. I told 'em yes! If you weren't already on a list, you're definitely on one now!"

-->'''Rarity''': "Last week, I caught you spray painting the word 'ASS' all over my windows, and you told me it was Fluttershy!"\\
'''Pinkie''': "It was! ''({{beat}})'' And you are an ass!"\\
'''Rarity''': "And then there was the time when I caught you in my room replacing all my condoms with live cobras, and you told me that was Fluttershy!"\\
'''Pinkie''': "That is just the kind of thing that she would do!"\\
'''Rarity''': "And then there was that time when you stole my sewing machine and left Fluttershy, dressed up as a burglar, tied and gagged in my living room!"\\

--> '''Pinkie:''' "Oh, you think I will cut your wings off!"

-->'''Pinkie:''' "[[LampshadeHanging Why are we talking about dishes]]? Pinkie is confused!"

-->'''Trixie:''' "Dating someone is just like picking out a parakeet from the pet store. You should always look for a bird that's friendly and getting along with the others. Well, that's all I got."

-->'''Surprise:''' "See? We're all having fun! You don't need to run away through the cloud floor, or through the walls, or anything! You are not gonna be ground up into rainbows! Heh heh, that's a silly thing to think was gonna happen!"

-->'''Apple Bloom:''' "Children ''have'' no empathy. I don't even ''care!'' Now you give me some ''friggin' ice cream''!!"\\
'''Doctor Whooves:''' "Ok, just take the money and leave me alone!"

-->'''Rarity:''' "So what exactly ''is'' this show?"\\
'''Trixie:''' "Okay, I really loved Peter Pan On Ice, so I'm going to make a parody of Peter Pan On Ice, but every character is Darth Vader. That's the hook. And because I love the show, I really wanna stay true to the characters. So I'm gonna be holding open auditions to look for people who are EXACTLY like Peter Pan if he were Darth Vader. None of this 'I'm a good actor but I only sound ''kinda'' like Pater Pan who is Darth Vader', I need ''exactly like the character''."\\
'''Applejack:''' "Well, that's just plain stupid."\\
'''Trixie:''' "Also, everyone gets to write."\\
'''Applejack:''' "Well, that's just plain stupider!"

--> '''Applejack:''' "I bet Rarity knows best about getting facials."\\
'''Rarity:''' ''(throws mud mask at Applejack's face)'' "Yeah, here's a tip: don't get it in your eyes, and seriously was that a burn, Applejack? Did I just get burned?"\\
'''Twilight Sparkle:''' "I think you just got burned, bitch!"

--> '''Twilight Sparkle:''' "[[SdrawkcabName Toggaf]] was named as such because his dad thought it would be a funny surprise when he learned to spell his name backwards in school."

--> '''Rainbow Dash:''' "Harry Wayne lived his life like any normal monkey: One day at a time, experiencing one event after the next. Or, maybe every event all at once if you think about it, but he just thinks he's experiencing every event one at a time, or, y'know, anyway, uh..."

--> '''Pinkie Pie:''' "It is so cute when you give up on life. Yes!"
