I love this entry, Celestia in the story was brilliant.

Loved this story. How can four little words be so amusing?

"P.S. I'm keeping it"

Poor Celestia, waking with strains of "SHOOBIE DOO" ringing in her ears.

Rubber device of an intimate nature?

Well she is getting sended to herself. Since she is already, where she is, I come to the conclusion, that she appears immediately after she dissapeared.

Also I love that fic. Overall I like Celestia-fics that are funny/silly.

Hilarious fic. I love stuff with Celestia and humorous stuff with her.

I still feel like Princess Celestia is our ruler, not the US president LOL

Midnight said...

just when it couldn't get any funnier, "PS: I'm keeping it".

laughed SO hard...

Hahaha! I remember reading this. Fluttershy is so dirty XD

I lol'd when I saw "That was suppose to last 20 years!"

Oh come on. This won? It's funny in places, and the writing's... allright, good, even. But the first scene is blatantly ripped off from Terry Pratchett ("Guards, Guards!"), as is the 'large rubber device of an intimate nature', though I'm not sure which Discworld book that one's from. And I'm sure I missed some.

References are fine, but if we're giving out awards, we should actually reward the ones who bothered to show originality.

Nah, it´s only the 4th place.

Besides the discworld stuff, The lines Pinky Pie says while she was a zombie are taken from song lyrics.

To me it was funnier when I realized the references.

Friendly Uncle said...

Initial scene with pony cult- Guards! Guards! by Terry Pratchett

Fish on head- Dominic Deegan (before the comic started to suck), also calls to mind Monty Python and the Holy Grail, as well as being a reference to the "red herring" plot device (getting Spike to dump stuff on Celestia at random really only served to distract and stress her out so that she would take the zombie invasion at face value, because Pinkie Pie is a goddamn Xanatos)

Pony Horror Picture Show- "Rocky Horror Picture Show," the greatest movie about transexual alien vampires EVER

Celestia's Nightmare- G1 Sea Ponies

Red paint- Carrie

Rubber object of an intimate nature- Captain Carrot used a similar euphamism in "Making Money" but I think it's kind of hard to call a vague description of a dildo a "reference" per se. I'm sure whatever Celestia would call a marital aid would be similar.

Antonio Bridelas- Antonio Banderas, the sexiest man alive

"All we wanna do is eat your brains."- Re: Your Brains by Johnathan Coulton

"Pinkie Pie, undead and loving it"- shout out to Mel Brooks and his masterful take on the vampire genre in "Dracula Dead and Loving It"

"SUBMIT YOURSELF TO THE TAINT!"- I never played much of Dragon Age, but my roommate says this whenever he talks about the game, so I assume someone said it somewhere

If you're looking for originality from fanfiction, I have some bad news for you. :D

And a huge thank you and lots of hugs for all of the votes and kind words. I didn't think I had a chance at all, and now I've taken a whole bracket! Even getting this far is an extreme honor, and I owe it all to you bronies. Remember, friendship is magic!

"You are called upon to submit yourself to the taint for the greater good." Duncan says it once, but no one ever shouts it like that.


But still, this one was funnier than I thought it would be. Just wish it was longer.

Thanks. I'd been thinking that resembled Pratchett's writing, but haven't gotten that far in the Discworld yet. Also, Fluttershy was freaking hilarious here.

Hooray for Large Rubber Devices of Intimate nature!

Marrock said...

I'm still wondering about the pony corpse in Celestia's room...

WHY do I want to see a Pony Horror Picture Show so bad

they should've ended up doing thriller that would've made this 20% cooler

What's the large rubber device of intimate nature.

And thus we see Pinkie Pie learn her lesson, namely that "Messing with divine beings who possess absolute power is a really bad idea."

would have been funnier if celestia was charging a laser spell, and just as pinkie said "april foals" she accidentally fires the laser spell and kills like 80% of ponyville

Did anyone else think of "Jack Links: Messin' with Sasquatch" because of the title or is it just me?
