7	''The Brony Foundation for the Arts'' is what happens when you take four normal guys, add a strong helping of [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 MST3K]] (but forget the [[MST3KMantra mantra]]), divide by sqrt(TrollFic)^-1, and multiply in some [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic candy-colored ponies]].

9	The [[FunWithAcronyms BFA]], as it is colloquially known, is a group of four bronies who delve into the deepest recesses of the {{fandom}} to look for badfic to destroy. Somewhere between {{Podcast}} and AbridgedSeries and using the form of Podcast/RiffTrax, they will attempt to read anything. Yes, even the {{Lemon}}s, and in response to the question posed by the page image -- everything that can go wrong, will go wrong.

21	* Packing: The one that started it all, Fluttermac Clopfic.

24	----
25	!!The Brony Foundation for the Arts (and some of the fanfic reviewed) provides examples of the following tropes:
26
27	* AbridgedSeries
28	* TheAlcoholic:
29	** Thad. Apparently he is high up on the AA's Most Wanted list.
30	** Southern has been known to go for a drink on occasion as well.
31	* {{Angrish}}: Everyone. See BilingualBonus below.
32	* AppliedPhlebotinum: Some fics use this, about which Blue is not happy (working on a degree in physics and all that rot):
33	-->"''It's magic, [[AWizardDidIt I ain't gotta explain shit]]''" -- Thad in response to this, [[RunningGag more than once]].
34	* ArtificialStupidity: Blue Chevre has been accused of this, mainly because he sounds quite a bit like a [[VideoGame/{{Portal}} certain computer]] through Skype. It's not as apparent in the first few episodes when the group recorded their individual parts and sent them to Southern Cross or Blue to be synched together.
35	* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: So... many... tangents....
36	* BetterThanABareBulb: Sometimes the only thing that keeps these guys going is knowing that they ''can'' lampshade something further down the road.
37	* BilingualBonus: Blue is really saying what he says he's saying when his {{Angrish}} goes Swengrish.
38	* BrainBleach: They order it by the truckload, but never have enough.
39	* BriefAccentImitation: As Jabber reads the fic his voice does amazing (and disturbing) things.
40	* BorrowedCatchphrase: [=MLP=] Characters, and (surprisingly for Blue) WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb, thanks to Jabber.
41	* {{Caustic Critic}}s: To the point sometimes the acid seems to splash back on them.
42	* GrammarNazi: Jabberwocky has been reduced to tears by comma splices.
43	* LampshadeHanging: [[MathematiciansAnswer Yes]].
44	* MeaningfulName: Blue Chevre likes cheese. Southern Cross is from Australia.
45	* MoreDakka: How Thad tries to deal with a lot of the fics read, [[LampshadeHanging Lampshaded]] by Blue Chevre with his nerf gun.
46	* ShoutOut: Fan-made work, what do you expect? Includes ''WesternAnimation/PhineasAndFerb'' and ''Webcomic/{{xkcd}}''.
47	* [[ThirdPersonPerson Third-Pony Ponies]]: All of them to a point, and being tropers (and writing this page themselves) only multiplies it.
