Canon Stories

  • While it comes in the middle of a extremely tense and emotional scene, TD throwing a pie in Blueblood's face over the latter's Lack of Empathy for his situation is laughter-inducing even in-story.
  • Earlier, his greeting to Celestia, telling her that he's going to want to talk with her about what progress she's made in sending him home. He taps the tip of her horn to drive the point home. Everyone gasps, Luna is furious, and TD is confused until Rarity whispers, "Did he just... hit second base with the Princess?"
  • TD's recaps of "Sweet and Elite" and "Secret of My Excess":
    I watched the one where the purple haired diva goes to the big city and spends 22 minutes lying to everyone before she gets away with it in the end and then the one where the diva manipulates the fire ruby away from the baby dragon that then goes on a rampage and nearly kills everything. Uh huh, I can definitely see the appeal.
  • In Wanderings of a Non-Brony, Queen Chrysalis is so oblivious to her numerous Accidental Innuendos to the point where TD can't stop laughing long enough to care about the fact that he's about to become a Changeling.
  • In The Life of a Non-Brony, when TD finally returns to Ponyville, well... with all the 'quiet dignity and grace' she can muster, Cheerilee walks up to him and punches him in the face.

Non-Canon

  • In the side story "TD Trolls the Canterlot Intellectual Elite", TD gives a completely fabricated history of the human race to the Delegation to the Office of the Royal Knowledge Society after getting frustrated with their refusal to ask helpful questions. The story is a mashup of Shout Outs to everything from Star Wars to Kickassia. Twilight catches on after he brings up the decades-long conflict between the Steelers of Pitsburgh and the Cowboys of Dallas - he's talked about Earth sports with her before - and her angry reaction gets Celestia and Luna's attention, who likewise figure it out. Then, while praising him for his prank, Celestia finally figures out the acronym. After 1543 years.
    • In the sequel to that chapter, TD begins with some more Shout Outs to various football teams, stating that they are all tribes in his homeland and they're all fighting for the Lombardi Idol as it supposedly brings 'fortune and glory'. Later, one of the D.O.R.K.S finally figures out the acronym and that leads to an increasingly ridiculous chain of events involving TD hitting Celestia with a staff he aquired (with her permission) and Celestia pretending to kill him as a result. She admonishes the D.O.R.K.S by saying that TD loved things like the color pink and he could dance around at night singing about how much he loved those things, much to TD's chagrin. Her, TD, Luna, and Twilight all leave the hall and Twilight once again finds herself angry at how TD treated the D.O.R.K.S
  • From TD's Little Rarity, the Double Entendre filled story TD gives the FBI about how he got his magical wooden staff.
    TD: I walked into that special store in Canterlot because the unicorn mare beckoned me in. It was off the beaten path and I'm not sure that a lot of ponies go there so it must have been a pretty sketchy place. Once I was in she got my staff out but it was too small to use so she used her unicorn magic and my staff started growing until it was big enough.
    Dr. Lundgren: So unicorns know growing magic?
    TD: Like I said, this mare made my staff grow. Then she used some more unicorn magic to make it really hard, hard enough that it would be nearly impossible to break.
    Dr. Lundgren: I've heard that it records memories.
    TD: Yep I've had some fond memories with that. It doesn't really do anything when you guys are handling it but the mare seemed to know what it was and what to do with it.
    Dr. Allred: ...That's not funny.
    TD: Yes it is.
    Dr. Allred: No it isn't.
    Dr. Lundgren: It's a little funny.
  • The alternate ending to Breaking, wherein TD decides to beat the everloving crap out of Discord with the newly element-charged Reginald. Schadenfreude at it's finest folks.
  • The Incredibly Interesting Date With the Non-Winning Human has TD and Cloud Kicker go back to his place after a drink. An hour and half later, they're lying on his bed, "completely shocked by what just taken place".
    TD: I cannot believe that just happened.
    Cloud Kicker: It was just about to get to the best part. Then it had to just... sputter out.
    TD: I'm sorry about that. I didn't expect it to just fade away like that.
    Cloud Kicker: I guess it happens.
    TD: I should have gotten Twilight to work her magic on it, but I don't think that she would have been too open to it, given that I was going to use it with you. I know all about her little sociology report.
    TD: Die Hard. I figured that since you were trained in the military and all that, you'd appreciate a good action movie.
    Cloud Kicker: I do. I don't appreciate your computer dying right before I can see if he survives the explosion or not.
    TD: I guess you'll just have to come over to see how the movie ends when Twilight has re-charged it again.
