History WebVideo / MyLittlePonyTotallyLegitRecap

* CargoShipping: Made to occur in-universe and taken to the extreme with Maud, who tries to marry her ImaginaryFriend, Boulder, and move to a desolate canyon, to take care of their "children", because she's too scared of interacting with other ponies and would rather just delude herself into thinking she was happy settling down with nothing but rocks in her life.

The series can be found [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tUbQZbysX4A&list=PLufmYJVoXKrBaVNVsHM3p7onpkc0zvFA0 here]]. Mostly due to AuthorAppeal and [[WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants writing whatever comes to his mind]], the episodes are parodied OutOfOrder in regards to the actual episode release.

* TheCynic: DWK and by extension, pretty much the whole cast. [[TropesAreTools However]], it works to his advantage when he proceeds to [[SillyRabbitCynicismIsForLosers tear apart said cynicism in the cast]] and [[SelfDeprecation himself]].

** When Spike attempts to leave in "Gauntlet of Fire," Dragon Lord Torch asks "Did I say you could leave, nigga?"
** Discussed in "Student Counsel." Silverstream asks Starlight if it's okay to say the n-word while singing along to a rap song, since "[she's] not technically saying it ''at'' anyone." Starlight gets interrupted by Trixie before she can respond.

* ProudBeauty: Deconstructed in "She's All Yak." Rarity loves how good she looks, but she also details the hell she puts her body through to look so good. Rarity tells Yona that she can never have carbs, never fart, do multiple hours of cardio a day, and multiple hours of hair and make-up to look so fabulous. Exaggerated when Rarity tells Yona that Sassy Saddles is ninety percent silicone, but somehow is still alive because of her sheer willpower to look fabulous.

** Starlight manages to combine one of these with AnAesop in "A Matter of Principals." She apologizes to Discord for her behavior, but frames it as stooping to Discord's level, outright calling him a pathetic loser. She ends up comparing him to a bratty child who throws a tantrum just for the sake of getting a beating from his parents, because the child thinks negative attention is better than no attention at all.

** In ''The Crystalling - Part 2'', he points out an elderly female pony who looks 70 but sounds like she's 20. Followed by a picture of a male pony with the caption "That is my fetish."

** In "She's All Yak," Yona accidentally inhales a kilo of cocaine, then stays up all night after finding out "sleep is a disease that you can cure with drugs." She then imagines herself flying on a rocketship over various landscapes, set to the tune of "Fortune & Fame" by The K.G.B.

** In ''A Hearth's Warming Tail'' The Ghost of Hearth's Warming Yet to Come is described as being this with the head of a waifu

* DisneyAcidSequence: In the recap of "To Change a Changeling", after Starlight takes a hit off of a bong, most of the rest of the episode is recapped with cut-ins of scary imagery (like Starlight with eyeballs for teeth), all set to the tune of a crunk rap song.

** In "A Health of Information", Fluttershy tells off Twilight for not taking Zecora's life threatening illness seriously and even insisting they rest when their friend's life is on the line. [[spoiler: Turns out, Twilight just didn't know Zecora's illness was as serious as it was, before Fluttershy told her and [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments immediately quits complaining and saves Zecora, after finding out.]]]]

* ArtisticLicenseMusic: DWK points out that there are enough of these in ''Rainbow Rocks'' to fill up the entire video, so he decides not to bother pointing them out after the first couple examples.

** Rainbow Dash does this to Discord in "Best Gift Ever".

** DWK seems to love rap music. He has Discord spit a few bars to distract some changelings, and invokes a new dance move with the "Twigly Wiggle" after Twilight learns how to walk in ''Equestria Girls''.

** In ''Rainbow Rocks'', Sunset suggests telling everyone's parents or the police what's going on. Apparently, parents and police don't exist in this universe, but Rainbow tells Sunset to just ignore it.

** Later, Fluttershy suggests just killing the Sirens, preferably with a school shooting.

'''Apple Bloom:''' Oh, I don't know, I mean I'm an orphan myself, so what do I know. Right? But generally I get this impression that when people have kids, sometimes they, you know, talk to them. Like "hey,child I gave birth to, what's going on with you? Got any hobbies?" Crazy as it sounds, some of these people - they're called ''parents'' by the way - um, actually do this on a regular basis so that when the child say, I don't know, goes through some kind of personal rite of passage that essentially determines what she's gonna be doing for the rest of her life, they can be like "oh hey, congrats on being good at that thing that you like that we totally know about." Now, I'm not knocking you guys or anything, I'm sure you've got lots of dinner parties, wine tastings, and school reunions to go to. And I mean priorities, am i right? But can you recall maybe ever having a ''passing conversation'' with your daughter that didn't revolve around who's taking care of her for the evening?\\

--->'''DWK:''' Oh Trixie, you talk such a big game and act like such a badass, but when shit gets real you scream like a little girl and toss away your last shred of dignity like a used prophylactic. No wonder you wanted to kill yourself, after having one fight with Starlight. You literally have nothing else.

'''Twilight:''' Bro, these kids right here are more mature than you are. Listen up you dumb whore, becoming an adult is not about a number. It doesn't magically happen when you reach a certain age. It happens when stop being a selfish tool and realize there are more important things in this world than your stupid little feelings. I'm fucking terrified of being a princess, but I'm just going to fucking do it because the world doesn't revolve around my emotions. You get what I'm saying?

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: For some reason, all of the characters love chicken tenders, a.k.a. "tendies". In the recap of "Sparkle's Seven", Twilight almost has a psychotic breakdown when she reveals that she lost all her "good boy points" when she moved out of her parents' house, and has had any tendies in ten years. In the same scene, Twilight also says that chicken nuggets ("nuggies") are for losers.

In the same scene, Twilight also says that chicken nuggets ("nuggies") are for losers.

* TrademarkFavoriteFood: For some reason, all of the characters love chicken tenders (and, of course, anything with alcohol in it).

* FandomBerserkButton: During ''Rainbow Rocks'', the Dazzlings have Trixie start an argument between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash by saying an anime is better if you read the manga first.[[invoked]]

* AllWomenAreLustful: The female cast gets just as many jokes about masturbation and wanting to get laid as the male cast. Even Maude sticks her rock-boyfriend in her vagina.

* SpoofAesop: "No Second Prances" has the aesop "If you act crazy enough, you'll totally get laid"

** In "The Mean 6", Mean Twilight points out that Chrysalis' plan is stupid, and says that if Chrysalis really wants revenge, she should just kill Starlight. Chrysalis rejects it because she wants to do things like a CardCarryingVillain.

** "If just talking things out was a viable plot option, the teen-drama genre would just dissapear into thin air."

* TokenGoodTeammate: In "Rainbow Rocks," Sonata Dusk is much less abrasive than Aria or Adagio. While Sonata doesn't mind stealing negative energy, she thinks the other Sirens are going too far. [[spoiler:This eventually culminates with Sonata blowing up all of the Sirens onstage with a huge bomb.]]

** Sunset Shimmer is portrayed as notably more unhinged, even allegedly stabbing Rainbow Dash, so she would not be able to meet Applejack for their date-- [[LastSecondWordSwap we mean, bake sale]]-- and her first instinct on meeting the villains of the second movie is to bash their skulls in with a pipe, since she doesn't have magic at the moment.

** Fleetfoot is turned from a JerkWithAHeartOfGold, into an AxCrazy {{Jerkass}}, who threatens to ''skin'' anypony that bothers her.

* FreakyFridayFlip: Celestia and Luna have one in "A Royal Problem". Whether VoicesAreMental or [[VoicesAreNotMental not]] is impossible to determine as they (and everyone else, for that matter) shares the same voice.

* PaletteSwap: Discussed. While admitting that [[LikesOlderWomen Dash's mom is a total milf]], DWK notes that females use the same character model with few exceptions throughout the show, so "whenever we get into our little arguments about which one's the cutest, we're literally just fighting over over color schemes, hairdos and the occasional difference in eye shape."

* DisappointedByTheMotive: Twilight is less than impressed when Cozy Glow [[FreudianExcuse details what made her so evil]]: nothing. Cozy intended to give herself a DarkAndTroubledPast to justify how evil she was by creating a tragic backstory through a SugarApocalypse. After [[{{Beat}} silently glaring at Cozy for a few seconds]], the cast throws Cozy into a cell in Tartarus.

** In "School Raze," Cozy Glow's Freudian Excuse is that she doesn't have a Freudian Excuse. She wanted to be a villain with a DarkAndTroubledPast, but Equestria is such a SugarBowl that she never got to have one. So Cozy intended to create a tragic backstory with a SugarApocalypse and blame it all on Tirek corrupting her, thus giving her the "ultimate" tragic backstory. Everyone else is [[DisappointedByTheMotive less than impressed when Cozy lays this out]].
