Time for more Thanksgiving fun with the MLP cast!

My Little Pony: Pony Telly

It is Thanksgiving in Equestria and the Mane Six, Ben and their families are in Canterlot to celebrate. Inside the home of the Sparkles, the Mane Six were almost sleeping while Scootaloo sat in a crisper drawer. Empty plates are scattered throughout the room...and during this time, most of the group are watching a football game on TV which Shining insisted on seeing.

"Okay, Ponyinsky has the ball at the top of the 20...the 15...the ten...touchdown!" John Stallion exclaims excitedly.

As a whistle is heard, Pat Stallionall exclaims, "Yes! And the Manehattan Huge Ponies won the first half of the game!"

"Ugh, this is boring!" Rainbow exclaims with a groan to her friends. "Can't we watch something else?"

"Not while my brother is sleeping we aren't." Twilight said with a sigh of annoyance. Shining won't watch anything else so the mares are stuck watching this.

"Yeah, go team, go..." Shining begins to say but soon he fell asleep on the couch.

"Finally, I didn't think he would ever fall asleep!" Rainbow exclaims eagerly as she grabs the remote. "Come on, time for us mares to watch anything that isn't football!"

"Aww, why bother Rainbow?" Scootaloo ask bored in the drawer. "There isn't anything cool on."

"What? What are you talking about? Nothing cool on?" Pinkie asks Scootaloo with a scoff of disbelief. "There has to be! It's Thanksgiving Day!"

"But normally they put up stuff that isn't cool."

"Well, come on, let's just watch y'all an' see fer ourselves." Applejack insists. After all, how does Scootaloo even know if there's nothing good on unless she and the gang watch for themselves?

"Change," Fluttershy said as Rainbow changes the channel on the TV with the remote.

The TV now shows Gilda the Griffin in a field near a turkey flyer. With a smirk, the griffin said, "Hey there, lame-os! Gilda the Griffin in a place I wouldn't tell you dorks anything about with an important message about the safely of Thanksgiving! It involves the dangers of not frying a turkey! Heck, each year..."

We see a graph that shows three bars for 'NOT Fried Turkey Family', 'Fried Turkey Family' and 'Pile o' Bones' with the years at the bottom. The 'Not Fried Turkey Family' bar is the largest.

Gilda continues, "...a lot of families suffer from not frying any turkeys! Anyway, this Thanksgiving..." The words appear below her as she speaks them, "Don't be a jerky, fry that lame-o turkey!"

"Warning: Fry may be disgusting to some ponies." An announcer is heard in the commercial.

"Fried turkey," Rarity asks in disgust at the commercial, "Why, how barbaric!"

"Leave it to Gilda to make a commercial like that." Rainbow remarks in annoyance as she changes the channel. "What else is on?"

The TV now knows a colt named Carny Von Coltington (who looks like Caramel for some reason) near a turkey. Pinkie is heard saying, "Whoa, looks like Caramel."

"Yeah, shocking, eh?" Applejack asks with a shrug.

"Come on, there isn't anything to worry about, Turkey Chuckie! Why, even though I'm going to gut ya and rip your entrails out with my hooves..." Carny said, unknowingly making the turkey's eyes widened in horror upon hearing what he's saying. "Why, I will just grind them up with some roseApples as well as sage before shoving them back in there! Isn't that grand?"

The turkey screams in terror, much to Carny's notice as he ask, "What's wrong?"

"WHYYYYYYY," Turkey Chuckie screams in terror.

Rainbow change the show quickly. The TV now shows Cheerilee in her kitchen with some ingredients. Smiling, she spoke, "Hello, all you lover of meat substitute turkeys out there! Time we make Cheerilee's Famous Thanksgiving Faux-ducken!"

"Huh; didn't know Cheerilee got her own kitchen show." Twilight's voice is heard in amazement.

"She usually does this show this time of year." Scootaloo's voice remarked.

As Cheerilee continues speaking, we see the ingredients on the list which the mare demonstrate, "All right, stuff millet inside of bulgur, inside of meatless veggie nuggets," The mare lifts an ingredient with her mouth, "inside of tempeth, injected into a bean curd, wrapped in a fakin bacon, and baked inside a pair of hemp toddler pants."

Once Cheerilee is done, she shows a rough pair of pants with a duckie patch shown. Rainbow's voice remarks, "I don't know what she's saying, but I don't feeling like eating that horse crap!"

Rainbow changes the channel once more. A Pony Command-Os commercial is shown with all of the good guys but Bazooka Moe wearing pilgrim hats for yet another Thanksgiving special.

"Yeah, pilgrims; Looks like we will be getting another Thanksgiving special," Bazooka Moe exclaims excitedly.

"On the plus side, we didn't get stuck with Secretary Appreciation Day." Mister B remarks to his allies with a shrug.

"Don't you mean 'Administrative Professionals' Days'?" Creepazoid ask his colleague puzzled.

"Right, and Chris McClean is also called the 'Coolest Host of a Reality Series on This Planet Ever' but that ain't going to happen!"

The show now shows an office where Princess Bratty Crown is sitting at a desk. One of her minions shows some soda while saying, "Here's your coffee, madam."

As the minion leaves, a smirking Princess Bratty Crown comments, "Nice gams, flankcheeks!"

Rainbow rolls her eyes as she changes the channel. Soon a commercial with familiar ponies is shown holding signs. Fluttershy's voice said, "Nice. It's that commercial which the princess asked us to do Happy T thing."

"Happy T," Pinkie on TV exclaims happily to the screen.

"Happy T, everypony," Twilight on TV exclaims while waving a hoof at the crowd.

"Happy stinking T...Bronies," Rainbow on TV said, unimpressed with what she has to do.

"Happy Dappy T, darlings," Rarity on TV giggles while waving a hoof at the audience.

"Uh, what we are we talking about?" Fluttershy on TV ask her friends puzzled, "'Happy T'?"

"Happy Apples," The Applejack on TV exclaims with a smile.

"Happy T, eeyup," Big Macintosh exclaims on the TV.

"Yahoo; I'm on TV! Yeah," Derpy on TV exclaims happily to the audience.

Rainbow changes the channel showing the band Knightshade. Their lead singer Lefty grins while saying, "Yo, we're Lefty!"

"Juley," The second Knightshade performer exclaims excitedly.

"Merry!" The third Knightshade performers yell next.

"And Tamby," The final member of Knightshade remarked with a laugh.

"And we're Knightshade!" The band Knightshade all yell out at once to the viewers.

"We're here to zeen you all a Happy Thanksgiving!" Juley cheers on wildly to the camera.

"Right, and foals under 6, don't drink and drive! And drugs, stay out of school!" Lefty laughs eagerly. As the band poses, we can hear Lefty himself singing, "I've got the heart of a turkey, and the wings of cranberry sauce, because it's Thanksgiving"!

The screen fizzles for a bit as another commercial with Knightshade having dinner is shown. They all exclaim, "Hey! We're Knightshade! Here's hoping this Thanksgiving brings you lots of..."

"Meat Substitute Turkey!"

"Stuffing," Juley exclaims as she shows the stuffing excitedly.

"Thanks!" Merry exclaims to the camera while eating some fool!

"As well as a cornucopia of metal," Tamby exclaims as he poses for the camera and for the fillies and mares watching this commercial.

"Come on, Lefty; stop hogging the Meat Substitute Turkey!" Juley snaps to his fellow band member, seeing Lefty trying to hog the Meat Substitute for himself.

As the band held the turkey, we hear Lefty singing once more, "I've got the heart of a turkey, and the wings of cranberry sauce, because it's Thanksgiving!"

The Mane Five and Scootaloo saw the screen fizzling. Knightshade is shown carving the Meat Substitute while saying to the camera, "Happy rocking Turkey Daze from Knightshade!"

"Make sure not to hesitate to pass your plate!" Tamby remarks to the camera with a smirk.

"How about you say grace, Juley?" Lefty ask Juley to see if he could say grace.

"A-hayyy-meHENNNuh," Juley exclaims as he did his grace in his own way. As the band pose with the scene freezing, Lefty is heard singing once more.

"I've got the heart of a turkey, and the wings of cranberry sauce, because it's Thanksgiving!"

Rainbow shrugs as she changes the channel. Soon a commercial appears on the TV with Dr. Hooves in front of his place. As the words 'ATTENTION' flashes', the stallion spoke, "Hey, attention, holiday shoppers!" As we see a calendar with the date marked 'Time Friday' ont he last day of the month while it marks towards Thurday, Dr. Hooves continue , "Time Friday begins Thursday!"

The schedule is shown with Dr. Hooves continues, "That's right! The line forms at 1 AM! The doors open at 2! Shoving and tramping should begin at 2:05, followed by tear gas and the Royal Guards at 2:15!" We now see the stallion himself looking seriously while having a VHS tape on his back for some reason. "Hey, mother ponies! Come on, I know you wanna beat up one another over some toys for the foals! If you draw blood, who knows? You could make it to this year's editions of Mare Mother Fights!"

Rainbow changes the channels as the Mares groans. Pinkie groans, "Boooooring!"

"Okay, you were right, Scootaloo. There isn't anything else good on." Rainbow sighs to Scootaloo in defeat. There isn't anything good on on Thanksgiving at all

"This is the worst possible thing ever...and without being dramatic for once." Rarity sighs a bit in defeat.

"Oh well, pass me the gravy boat, will ya Scoots?"

Scootaloo pass the gravy boat to her idol. As she is drinking the whole thing, the program from before is shown as the announcer booms, "We are now back to the second half of this year's Falling Asleep On The Couch While Watching Football Bowl!"

"Ugh, next time, we do this at our house." Twilight sighs a bit as she and her pals continue watching this program.

Author's note
Very awesome short, right folks? While two parts, like the Happy T and the Knightshade segments, aren’t really part of the actual Homestar Runner Thanksgiving short, I put them in anyway. Read, review and suggest.

The comment about Chris McClean is foreshadowing my MLP's upcoming crossover with the Total Drama series.
