Funny / Twilight's Bureaucracy

Go To

  • The two royal guards in ‘My Tax Policy?'. They're almost like something out of a Monty Python skit.
    Reporter pony: How else are you going to pay for the royal guards or public services like your own School of Friendship? Bits don't grow on trees, you know.
    Guard #1: It’s true, they don't.
    Guard #2: And if they did, that would result in hyperinflation. Which would buck up our economy.
    • They even appear at the end, worried that they might not have enough money to live off of because of Twilight's new tax policy.
    Guard #2: I have two fillies to feed.

  • Celestia's disappointment that Twilight visited her not to help defeat a monster or solve a friendship problem but because she doesn't have a tax policy.
  • This bit in 'Twilight's Fed Up Of The Vocal Minority's $#!%':
    Blueblood: Can you just pardon us already? I need to get my mane groomed again.
    Narration: And just like that, the chance to have a civilized discussion was tossed to the wayside like a tumbleweed in the wind.
    Twilight: I trust you guys know why you're here.
    General Sod: Yes, we are. We are here to put your madness to an end. Where is the time-travel spell created by the legendary Star-Swirl the Bearded?!
    Twilight: What?
    General Sod: You know what I said. I WILL FIND IT!
    Narration: The tumbleweed that was the possibility of a civilized discussion was now set ablaze, metaphorically speaking.

  • Despite accusing Twilight of being incompetent, it is pointed out repeatedly in the second story that General Sod and the Royal Guard are far more ineffectual, with the reason why nearly everypony was kidnapped by changelings was because the Royal Guard were asleep at the time.
  • Twilight being in full Deadpan Snarker mode throughout the second story. When the title says she's fed up of the vocal minority's shit, it was not kidding. In fact, after having enough of Blueblood's arrogance, she straight up tells him, Sod, and the other ponies that tried to stage a military coup against her to eat shit.
  • Twilight shouting at the top of her lungs "WHERE THE FUCK DID I GO WRONG?!" in the third story, much to Luna's surprise. It even gets a Continuity Nod in the fourth story.
  • "Twilight picked up the sceptre and looked thoughtfully at it…before nonchalantly tossing it over her shoulder and fucking off back to her castle".
  • Daybreaker beating the shit out of Twilight. Normally, it wouldn't be funny except the Lemony Narrator says three times verbatim that Celestia was beating the shit out of Twilight.
  • In addition to it being pretty awesome, Izzy knocking Celestia/Daybreaker out with a Twilicane is also hilarious. Especially since the narration described the blow as a compound elevated skull fracture.
