History YMMV / ScootertrixTheAbridged

* AccidentalInnuendo: Jack Getschman and Cris Galvez discuss this in one of the convention panel videos. Apparently Jack follows the practice of sending his voice actors just their own lines in isolation, rather than the entire script. Well, in episode 2 was Cris's debut as Princess Luna--and her only lines were a bit of moaning, then apologizing to Celestia. On first reading this, Cris thought she'd accidentally signed up for a Rule34 video, and Jack had to reassure her it was nothing of the sort.

* CreatorBacklash: In the commentary track for Episode 13, Jack Getschman says he gets the impression that the fandom braodly agrees this is the worst episode of ''Scootertrix'' (so far)--and he also agrees with it. He thinks the biggest issues are poor pacing and too many [[{{Padding}} "buffer scenes"]].

* {{Woolseyism}}: In episode 7, Fluttershy's [[VerbalTic habit of adding "man" to the end of her sentences]] leads the rest of the protagonists to [[OrphanedEtymology wonder what a "man" even is]]. Applejack thinks it's a kind of bread, confusing it with [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naan naan]], while The Bird[[note]]Rainbow Dash[[/note]] guesses it may be short for "''man''ticore." The Spanish subtitles change the tic to "tía" (literally "aunt" but also used as slang for "woman" in Spain, like the English word "chick") and alters the others' comments accordingly: Applejack now asks whether Fluttershy thinks she's someone's niece, while The Bird stresses the middle part of "mantícora" to make "man-tía-cora."

** Luna was imprisoned on the moon for one thousand years, only for no one to even recognize her when she came back. She also has to deal with her {{Jerkass}} sister, Celestia who constantly makes selfish, reckless, and irresponsible decisions regarding the protection of their subjects, only for ''herself'', to be constantly proven wrong, while Celestia is constantly rewarded with success.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: In episode 15, Pinkie's speech about free will becomes even more powerful (and meta) with the knowledge that something similar happened to her behind the scenes--namely, her compassion towards Rarity convinced the creator to scrap her initial villain characterization.

* RescuedFromTheScrappyHeap: It's unclear how successful he was, but Getschman has said in various livestreams and episode commentaries that he was attempting to rescue Flash Sentry by portraying him as TheAce and Apple Bloom's rival. He doesn't like ''human'' Flash any more than the rest of the fanbase--but he wants to remind everyone that ''pony'' Flash is a separate character, and one who's mostly a blank slate in canon with a few intriguing details (like the fact he's in the Crystal Empire's Royal Guard, even though he's a pegsus) just ripe for fan theories.

** In episode 26, Starlight Glimmer disappears into the Inescapable Caves of Doom, and everyone accepts that she's as good as dead. Then she suddenly reappears, with no more explanation than "I escaped!" [[spoiler:Then subverted when it turns out ''this'' isn't the real Starlight, but actually a disguised Queen Chrysalis.]]

* FanonDiscontinuity: Courtesy of Jack Getschman himself, oddly enough. In the [[DVDCommentary commentary track for episode 2]] he jokes that it's no longer necessary to watch episode 1 at all: episode 2's PreviouslyOn montage covers everything that's actually relevant from the first episode, [[SelfDeprecation and it's better-paced, to boot]].

* HarsherInHindsight: Episode 7 reveals that Celestia has ''two'' stained glass windows of Nightmare Moon getting defeated with Elements of Harmony (once by the mane six, and once by Celestia), and she set them up where Luna can't help but see them every time she goes to eat. When Luna points out how demoralizing it is to have reminders of her past failure rubbed in her face every day like this, Celestia insists that it's Luna's fault for getting defeated by the Elements in the first place. Revelations from episode 26 ([[spoiler:that the story about Celestia defeating and banishing Nightmare Moon was a complete lie, and it was actually Celestia's fault that Luna became Nightmare Moon at all]]) retroactively make Celestia even more of a jerk in this scene. YMMV on whether this makes Celestia [[DudeNotFunny too cruel to be amusing]] or [[CrossesTheLineTwice even funnier than before]].

* AssPull: PlayedForLaughs, of course. Since Princess Luna was absent for most of the first two seasons of the real show, her reappearance in Episode 3 is so unexpected that even Celestia is surprised by it - especially as it implies that she's recovered her former strength and appearance in just a few days. It's then completely glossed over in three lines of dialogue.

** ''The Movie'' retcons that to make it either less horrifying or ''even worse'', depending on your perspective. [[spoiler:Pinkie and Doctor Whooves did eventually save Equestria--but it took them 493 tries. In the ''Camaraderie'' universe, time travel follows [[TemporalMutability branching timeline]] rules, so those 492 timelines where Pinkie and Whooves failed to save Equestria are still out there in the multiverse. In "Trixie the Abridged", Twilight and Trixie wound up in one of those failed timelines, not in the "main" ''Camaraderie'' universe.]]
