Cheese Sandwich: An episode in review

HOLY FUCK THIS EPISODE
Okay, in NO way do I want this to be hugbox, but I'm not joking, this episode is probably one of, if not the best episode. Ever. You know we wouldn't be praising this if we didn't see it to be true, but seriously, numbers usually don't like, so be humored with the only episode poll that's had 10 as the most voted for choice, and sit back and get ready for a very VERY thorough analysis for this weeks episode.
Okay, before we begin, let's go back to when this was first announced.

You were hype, right? We all were. But there was one problem, how the fuck was this going to work?

Well as time went on and episode summaries started to come out, hype started to build. I mean, really build.
You could feel things brewing. Weird Al Yankovic in an episode? It was like a dream come true!
However, the REAL thing many people were looking for was a redeeming pinkie episode. Ever since Too Many Pinkie Pies made it's debut all the way back in season 3 episode 3, people started to worry about how pinkie acted, how she was more worried about fun than friends, how she was only there for comedic relief or a 4th wall break. Seriously, she was the Spike of the mane 6.

And another thing, the Cake Twins. The fucking cake twins, somewhat major characters to an extent. Were only seen ONCE in season 3. Pumpkin during Magic Duel, and Pound in MMC. Shouldn't we be seeing a bit more of them? But that's just me, I'm sure some people despise the two for their episode that many think was "Shit/10"


So, let's begin. We start off the episode in a town we haven't seen in a long time. Since season 1 actually.
Fuck I missed AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAPPLEOOOSA 
a lot, and I didn't even realize it.
Although I am surprised we didn't see any Little Strongheart, we do get to see some BUFFALO.

HEY YEAH THEY STILL EXIST
It's good to see that they're still getting along.
Anyways, we find out that this mother fucker has his own sense. (Like Pinkie's)

Which is interesting, very interesting.
You see, in the episode "Sonic Rainboom", we learn that Rainbow dash's rainboom connected the ponies together, and they all received their cutie marks within seconds of eachother.
Now, take that logic and put it to some of Pinkie's parties that she's thrown. 
Much like the rainboom, one of her parties was so life changing that it ACTUALLY GAVE CHEESE HIS CUTIE MARK.
Which brings up the question "Is there another group of ponies all affected by pinkie's partying?"
Fuck maybe.
But really, could you imagine a show with 6 ponies very similar to Pinkie?
*shudders*

Anyways, we learn that he has a disturbance of sorts, and has to now go to ponyville.
Which then leads into the intro, and then...

EPIC SAWNG TIME
AAAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S SMILE SMILE SMILE ALL OVER AGAIN
Also how the fuck did that pony fit so many things into her bag? And that's not how fucking colors work


Plus, we got to see the cake twins! Hurray! (But seriously I've been looking for them)
Holy fuck so many things happen in this song I don't even think I have time for all of them
BUT THEN
Yep, that just about sums it up

MOTHER FUCKING DIAMOND TIARA GETS A SINGING ROLE

AND THEN
OH HO AND THEN
WE GET THE MOTHER FUCKING SHIM SHAM SISTERS UP IN THIS BITCH

I HAVE LOST THE ABILITY TO CAN
I CAN ONLY CAN'T

After the song we probably get the best visual gag thus far.

Do you see this shit? This is fucking witch craft. I literally had to pause the video and stand up for a second.

After that, for a brief second we see that Pinkie actually takes her party planning seriously. 
Which she emphasized by then showing us the second best fucking visual gag this show has done.

(Seriously there's so many things that are amazing going on in so little time I really couldn't control my bowels.)

And then the big entrance by Cheese sandwich.
That Clint Eastwood reference made my dick soar/sore


And then, so many headcanons were booted up it caused the video game crash of 1983, for Cheese and Pinkie share some extremely odd similarities between eachother.

He also claims to be the best party planner in all of equestria, but Pinkie things she is as well.
So Rainbow finds that to be the opportune time to be like AWW YEAH TIME TO BE A HUGE CUNT and is like "FIGHT OVER ME PLS I NEED ATTENTION"
However, she also claims that it was her birthday that she came to ponyville...
Which means that she probably got the fuck out of her home when she was 18 to avoid her parents...
Which actually makes sense, because she hasn't really aged that much since she moved to ponyville... (Assuming she hasn't been there that long, and was only there for a little while before Twilight)

AND THEN ANOTHER SONG

See, this is what Magical Mystery Tour COULD have been, but instead felt too rushed. This episode managed to fit in as many if not just under the amount of songs in MMC, but still had some of the best pacing I've seen.

Moving away from the worst episode of seaosn 3 Magical Mystery Cure, let's get back to Cheese's song
Which managed to have me
A. Further make better my headcanon
B. Imagine what it would be like without bones in my legs
C. Lose all sanity when Cheese throws a party in a suspect lineup
We know you're naked OP

I MEAN FUUUUCCCKKK
DID THAT JUST HAPPEN

AND THEN HE PULLS THAT ACCORDION AND GERMAN GET UP AND IS LIKE "HAHAHAHHAHAH HOPE YOU DIDN'T THINK OF ANY OTHER EPISODE AS HIGHLY AS YOU WILL THIS OOONE"

Wait, all is not well
My News Sense is tingling...
WAIT WAIT

OH SHIIIIIITTT

(SWITCHING TO DEFCON 9)
(BACKUP WAIFU HIDING INTENSIFIES)

Anyways, away from Brad Jr. Dating Sweetie Belle, let's get back to the episode.

Oh and one more thing
DID I MENTION DERPY IS IN THIS EPISODE?

This screencap was too glorious to crop out the other ponies...
You doing alright Pinkie?
Anyways, Cheese sweeps away the crowd, and Pinkie is left in the dust.
(The fucking episode has feels too)
Pinkie, feeling like her place as "Super duper party pony" is threatened, while also being told off by rainbow cunt saying that their party, which is replacing Pinkie's, is going to be epic

IN WHICH WE THEN GET ANOTHER FUCKING GLORIOUS VISUAL GAG

FUCK OTHER PEOPLE'S TEARS, MY TEARS ARE DELICIOUS!

After that, she puts on a fake smile, then walks home all sad like.

THEN PAAAARTY PLANNING

Wait, hang on a second...

Did Rainbow Dash just give Cheese, who was wearing a hard hat... a headbump?
WOW YOU'VE GOT TO HAVE ONE THICK SKULL FOR THAT AMIRITE HEHEHEHEH

Also, MORE DERPY FUCK YES HAHAHAHA

And then we switch back to Pinkie, who is now sulking in what could have been her party.

Then, probably a huge character development, is when Twilight comes back to Pinkie's house, and Pinkie just puts on a fake smile and acts like everything's okay.
COME ON EVERYPONY SMILE SMILE SMILE

CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT? WHY I THOUGHT WE ABANDONED THAT YEEAARS AGO

All jokingness aside, it's really great to see some character development, and probably more so in Pinkie.

And then Twilight says "FUCK DEPTH LET'S WALK ON FLOWERS"
(Actually, the animation in this episode was really good, this is probably the only place where the animation wasn't god tier)

And then Pinkie says "FUCK FACES LET'S SCRUNCH"
And then MORE SAD SONG PONKA TIME
WAIT WAIT WAIT
>muh job
See, because cheese took her job, she's jobless
What the fuck is it with dairy products and jobs

HAH

But seriously, this isn't funny anymore. This is now called Dram News
Imagine if what your entire life was dedicated to you was taken away from you. How would you feel? How would you react? Probably a little something like this.


And then Pinkie does something that noone could have ever thought she'd do before.

She referenced NOT ONE, NOT TWO, NOT THREE, BUT FOUR PREVIOUS EPISODES.
(Quite ironically, all not in Season 3)

We also see that Pinkie has a third sister that we never knew about



Also Cheese sandwich looks like a dick.

Oh, and she puts on a costume ALSO NOT SEEN SINCE SEASON ONE
And goes to get her title back

And then pinkie teleports and shit, and then, in the most hilarious way possible, challenges Cheese to a goof off.
(Haha get it)

But this face doesn't look like it fucks around.
(Seriously this episode is a ride that I couldn't have prepared for even if I tried)

I can't even begin to try to describe what is coming up next...
I think my mind just flashed back to Season 1 at this point, and I wasn't sure if I was just getting on the ride or watching a Season 4 episode.

There is so much that goes on here...
Anywhere from Twilight having a rulebook on Goof offs to spike's "NO SPEAKING ROLES FEGLORD"
Is pure golden.
AND THEN THESE FUCKING FACES

AND A TUBA PLAYING MOUSE

FUCK

Also I'd like to take the time out to say that LYRA AND BON BON = EVERYWHERE

Anyways, they commence the goof off, and the most crazy shit ever goes down.
Rather than going into detail, let's name some things off
1. Pinkie feeds rainbow 5 cupcakes, then makes one shaped like her (COIN CIDENCES)
2. We get ANOTHER season 1 reference when Cheese Sandwich pulls on Rainbow's face
3. The greatest dance of all time is danced, which gave light to a new fetish: Boneless

And then, let's talk about the FUCKING MOST HILARIOUS THING I'VE EVER SEEN
HIT IT BONELESS

CAN YOU HEAR THAT? IT'S MY SIDES. TAKING OFF. WHERE ARE THEY GOING? FUCK IF I KNOW BECAUSE THEY'VE ALREADY TRANSCENDED INTO THE NEXT PLANE
DO THE GUMMY SHAKE

FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUCCCCCCKKKKKKK
AND THEN HE RIPS OFF THE SMILE SONG
AND A PACMAN REFERENCE

Okay, so you guys thought that there weren't any parodies in the show, did you?
Well, YOU THOUGHT WRONG
http://vocaroo.com/i/s0BMRswLMrKb
http://vocaroo.com/i/s1mMk8du7a4U (Beer Barrel Polka)
FUCKING WOT M80
AND THEN PONKA DOES THE MEXICAN PINATA SONG AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHH

And then FOR THE FIRST TIME EVERRRR
Actually *For the first time in a long time
Pinkie realizes there's something really wrong, and that she has to fix it
She also broke a pinkie promise so... WHAT

And so she begins to leave and WHAT DO YOU KNOW

WE SEE THE TROMBONE FROM SEAON 2
YOU KNOW I THINK THE WRITERS ARE STARTING TO GET IT

Eh, let's Winter Wrap this up aldready.
So the ponies stop her from leaving, and we see that it was Pinkie that got Cheese into partying, and he was a total beta fag before he became the party pony he is.

(PLUS WE GET A FLASHBACK LIL DERP, LIL COLGATE, LIL BONBON AND LYRA,
LIL CHEERILEE, AND LIL FLITTER AND CLOUDCHASER)

Wait
WAIT
colgate had braces
COLGATE HAD BRACES
Did you bwuth youw teeth?


And then we get to throw a HUGE PARTY WITH PROBABLY FUCKING EVERYONE

AND THEN FUCKING BEST SONG AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH

"Make a wish it's your birthday" Is going to be in my head for the next decade.

And according to that cake, Rainbow's about 40 years old

Oh dear neptune

And so, the party's fucking epic, and Cheese sees that his work is done.

Turns out the rubber chicken is pinkie's key, in which Cheese claims that he "Has another one" and places "Boneless Two" on his back and... walks out into the sunset.

The lesson learned is to love what you do, which is actually a pretty sweet lesson.



Overall the episode is a 10/10.
I can't rate it any lower, I truly can't.
The pacing, the story, the characters, all amazingly written.

I remember why started watching the show again, not because of pandering or drama, but because the show was fun, it was happy, it was likeable, all of which were shown in the new episode.

Basically, you could have placed that episode in Season 1 or 2 and noone would be the wiser.

Weird Al, you're just what this show needed. Thanks.

  1. Season 1 or 2 shit son this is season 4 and I've been having fun every single episode and that's what most people need to learn to do.

    1. It's groupthink. Ignore it. Groanies must hate season 3 because DSM-IV. Everyone else had a good time.

    3. Anyone made of spaghetti who would rather die than have fun watching MMC when they could be weighing the magnitude of Twilight sprouting wings and telling everyone that Meghan McCarthy spit all over Lauren Faust's vision.

  2. I kinda hoped the Weird Al episode would be the greatest thing ever, but I never imagined it would literally be the greatest fucking thing ever.

  4. Calm yourself friend. It was a good episode, but you're sperging out on brony-tier levels.

  5. I hope I'm not the only person who thinks the last song was weak at best...? Still better than most disco music I've heard, but that's not saying much. It sounded like something out of Equestria girls.

    Also, anyone else bothered by the word epic used in this context? Or is it just my autism acting up?

  6. When Pinkie's friends were following Cheese around praising him they came off as vapid, insensitive, and disloyal. Especially Rarity you can tell she wants the Cheese dick. They totally put down Pinkie's special talent and passion to her face. The element of loyalty has a birthday and she instantly ditches her pro party planning friend for some out of towner?
    Not saying I didn't like the episode but if you want stuff to criticize it's not that hard to find.

  7. I like how Weird Al became his own character in the show and it wasn't just "weird al pony". The idea of giving him a complex backstory that ties into the main 6 (pinkie Pie) was genius and sets his character up really well. I thought his character was really cleverly written in context of himself and the character in the show, and writing good side characters like that makes the show tons better, especially for people who will get those inside jokes related to the guest star like how he "polka'd" pinkies song.

  8. Well, at least my sickness didn't prevent an episode recap being written... Even if it is this. Good work, I think.

  9. Wow, um, please let the other guy write these from now on

  10. Why is everyone so angry here? I thought people took things too seriously over at EQD but Jesus...

  11. As I said before best FIM episode ever.
