ReplyDeleteGah! So many quotes..... Need to go through them.... CURSE YOU PRINCESS BRIDE!!!!!
ReplyDeleteas you wish...
A Princess Bride-Pony Story? Inconceivable!
ReplyDelete@Pinkie Pie
ReplyDeleteI see what you did there...
And I approve...

ReplyDeleteYou can add me to the list.
Hahhh I'm in love with this - making me chuckle a good one every now and then. Now to continue...
ReplyDeleteI've only read the first couple of chapters so far. It's amusing, and remarkable how well the characters fit. My only complaint is that the story seems to be hewing rather too close to the original source material with character substitutes, rather than introducing the level of originality seen in "Sleipnir" and "Labradorynth".
ReplyDeleteI have just finished reading the whole thing, and must say it's rather fantastic.
ReplyDeleteThis was one of the most hilarious fanfics I've ever read. Awesome job.
ReplyDeleteI still have no idea where Goliath the cranky minotaur came from, but I don't care. :)
Why Does Goliath the Cranky Minotaur start to shrink?
ReplyDeleteThis is the greatest thing ever. Seriously made my day. X3
ReplyDeleteAnd then Goliath got his own spin-off series. It got old rather fast, so he got retooled into a cyborg knight who fights the evil armies of children who demand storytime. 5/5
ReplyDeleteI was smiling the whole way through. An excellent read, and all the more hilarious to picture everypony listening to this story. I just about lost it when Celestia and Luna popped up.
ReplyDelete>read title
ReplyDelete>first thought was 'Inconceivable'
I wish all shipping fics are like this: heavy on the comedy side.
ReplyDeleteThis is hilarious. From the growing number of kids listening to the story, the Andy Griffon sheriff, Fluttershy in slavegirl costume, Pinkie getting excited over gaining "chest balloons". I hope this author does more stories.
It's been ages since I've seen that movie, here's hoping it pops up on the Hub or someplace soon.
ReplyDeleteThis was a hilarious snow ball of a story- Goliath's growing audience(honestly wasn't expecting Diamond Tierra or Silverspoon),Andy Griffith and Gremlins parodies not to mention all the meta and injokes.
I'm hoping we see more of Goliath in future instalments plus I can't wait to see what comic and movie gets blended together with ponies next.
I squeed when I saw the title.
ReplyDeleteI cant help but notice you forgot the quote about surrendering as they left the swamp.
And Fluttermac sounds like a mcdonalds burger
Hell yeah, minotaurs.
ReplyDeleteAnd I guess hell yeah, PB too.
Excellent :D
ReplyDeleteEasily one of the best, and funniest, stories I've read here. And I find how it subtly tweaks the story to be better than if it had gone of the rails actually.
ReplyDeleteLightsideluc, I am with you! I haven't even finished reading the thing and it's already one of the best parodies I've ever read. Goliath the Cranky Minotaur is...I tell you, it's uncanny...but he speaks JUST like my husband.
ReplyDeleteAnd can I just ask - the intro with the "Star Trek" OS parody? Can I have a whole fic of just that, please?
Seriously, whoever wrote this: you have just won the soul of Blackberry the High School English Teacher. Claim at any time.

ReplyDeleteDammit all, I shotgunned the whole story in 90 minutes and d'awwed at the end.
ReplyDeletefml.
(5 star, btw)
I'm not sure how much of shipping this qualifies as, but it is an amazing parody, and the end with Celestia and Luna and Big Mac and Fluttershy just happening to show up was great. Is there a list of things you refenced in this piece, I think I lost count.
ReplyDelete"Fillies" You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.
ReplyDeleteIn the MLP context, "filly" is roughly analogous to "girl", I noticed you using it in reference to colts and stallions a few times, other than that minor gripe, this was legendary.
Even though you just straight-up dropped him right into Ponyville with zero explanation or establishment, I loved him, and his interactions with the colts and fillies (and dragon), especially with Scoots. Absolutely first-class.

ReplyDeleteI introduced him in my last fic, "Labradorinth". He started off as a one-shot gag, but when I infused him with Patrick Warburton, he instantly endeared himself to me.
Ok, seriously, how is this not more popular? This is BRILLIANT, there were so many times where I actually laughed out loud (not an easy feat, mind you), and I loved all the off-kilter references throughout it...also, FLUTTERMAC! YAY!
ReplyDelete*ahem* Sorry, about that, got a little too excited. Well done, author, very well done.
