So. You guys remember that My Little Pony fan fic titled "Cupcakes" that a variety of people keep trying to get me to run in FFF? Well, if you have been desperately wanting to learn more about "Cupcakes" but didn't want to do so in a non-TR environment, I have good news -- the story has been re-imagined as this animated music video. It may miss a few of the details, but it certainly gets the overall conceit correct. To everyone else -- holy shit some lunatic animated a version of "Cupcakes," and may god have mercy on all our souls. Warning: Since this is animated and contains no nudity, this video is technically safe for work. It might, however, contain the tiniest amount of graphic violence, and when I say "the tiniest amount" I mean it makes the Saw movies look like... well, an actual episode of My Little Pony.
All of you who sent this in to me should be ashamed of yourselves. The only silver lining here is that it's still less disturbing than that fucking E.T. figure.

The only redeeming feature of this video is Lyze the Happiest Owlet at the end. I highly recommend him/ her.
-
Oh god. On rewatching, I see that Dashie's wings are gone the second time they're dancing.... and her insides the third time... that's the sort of attention to detail that makes me want to kill myself
-
I think the second most disturbing part of this was Rainbow Dash's gleeful little dance breaks between dismemberment sessions. The most disturbing part is that it didn't shake my MLP fandom at all. BROHOOF.
-
Rainbow Dash! No!
-
I'm sorry, but that wasn't even slightly frightening. The over exaggerated faces ruined it. Also, Cupcakes wasn't scary. It was an overrated shock fic.

I just showed this to a friend who knew nothing about Friendship Is Magic that asked me what the deal was with "Bronies". As far as he knows, this is an official Friendship Is Magic short. I don't know why I do these things that are so horrible.
-
I think I am actually broken. I found the music more offensive than the rest of it :[
-
I never liked cupcakes anyways. Now if you put those body parts in a pie, mm mm mm I'd try that.
-
woo! I have found my new ringtone. ^_^ Gonna say that in my best Joe Pesci voice and LOOP it!
-
Wait, she makes the batter and THEN dismembers Rainbowdash? Someone forgot her kitchen chemistry. Cupcakes are a quick bread, all the CO2 escapes if you take too long.
-
I put it on permanent loop on my computer so it's not just that way in my head anymore!
-
I'll need a generous government grant to research the answer to that question, so, I'm off to file the paperwork!
-
Woot! I love me a good history documentary. It's not quite Ken Burns’ Civil War epic, I would have like a reading from a Mary Chestnut’s diary or something, but I suppose you have to work with what you got, well done sir.
-
Well done. Kinda impressive.
-
very well indeed, thank you! :D
-
I hear it's easier to keep the cut DC Penis clean.
-
You know Doc ? This opens a whole world of possibilities and wonders ! THIS video opened my eyes ! I KNOW WHAT Spider-man did to Quesada after reading OMD ! Everything is here... HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAAAA !
-
Is it me or is there always a stripper who tries to emulate the style of that rainbow pony at the strip clubs?
-
So how is your brother Pinhead and the other Cenobites?
-
It would be easier to do than the human centipede, as you wouldn't need to bother with the legs, just the mouths and OH GOD FUCK YOU FOR MAKING ME THINK ABOUT THIS
-
Hey, I actually had a pair of red-blue 3D glasses handy, so I got to try out the 3D conversion!
-
Overnight? It's been like two years now.
-
That'd actually make sense. I thought the animation was good, but I was a little disappointed that it seemed to be more "haha, gore" than "haha, gore in an interpretation of cupcakes"
-
The answer is actually very simple. It started in late 2010, when 4chan discovered <a href="http://www.cartoonbrew.com/ideas-commentary/the-end-of-the-creator-driven-era.html">this article</a> and decided to watch the show out of pure spite. When they saw that the show wasn't completely terrible, they started making memes out of it, as is their wont. And it just kept expanding from there. So that's really the whole origin story of the "brony" phenomenon. Someone told the internet "you shouldn't enjoy My Little Pony," and the internet said "fuck you, buddy, we're going to enjoy My Little Pony just to piss you off."
-
Disturbed, ecstatic. Its all in the perception...or so I've heard.
-
You sir, are quite welcome to as much as you like/need/want/deserve/don't deserve/+11
-
I must say, as someone who watches Takeshi Miike flicks to cheer up, I needed a unicorn chaser to wash out my soul. Though you all would need one too: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mPPvDrR1vws
-
Okay seriously still trying to figure out when, how, and why this pony stuff became so popular on the internet. It seems like it just happened overnight, like there is some guy who just arbitrarily picks something out of the hat that is going to be the next big meme.
-
It gave me 'Nam flashbacks to when I was 10 and watched Ren and Stimpy for the first and only time. Disturbed me for months.
-
Am I the only one who sees a plethora of new reaction faces for avatars and 4chan?
-
cool! that's just more sweet uncut DC PENIS for me!
-
I'd rather just watch the video again.
-
Aaaaannnnnnd downloaded...song and video.
-
and maybe a new PENIS logo from DC!
-
Aw, somebody needs a hug... and a CUPCAKE!
-
Yeah, after making this I'm sure he was promoted
-
Yeah... It just makes me sad is all. It isn't funny, or interesting, or new. It is just sad. If this was made before "Happy Tree Friends" and used the original ponies or even the effing Care Bears, super. I might have appreciated the ironic shock value. But this is about as original as toast. A FFF involving My Little Ponies, the Rancor, Galadriel and a tube sock would have made a more positive impression because at least I might have been impressed with how the tube sock was worked in. Oh well.
-
That made me feel bad.
-
Absofuckinglutely BRILLIANT!...ripping this video now!
-
Very reminiscent of Happy Tree Friends
-
I loved that. Great animation, catchy song, better plot than 3/4th of the "Horror" movies I've seen this year and the sewn up dancing monstrosity pony was a nice touch.
-
Your jokes are getting bladder. Hyuk, hyuk!
-
Well, I wish certain other animators would throw certain other Hasbro fandoms such a bone(r).
-
I thought that was hilarious (the Andrew W.K. song helped), but I'm still kind of disturbed that someone went through all the time and effort of making that.
-
The spawn of lawyers naturally have no souls. You have the blood of monsters in your veins; you're like the children of Gene Stealers in that respect. Just kiddin'...
-
It made me giggle, to be honest- especially the mad dancing parts, and Rainbow Dash's "I just stubbed my toe! Ouchies!" expressions... Classic. It didn't even make my soul hurt and I'm barely crying any blood, which is a plus... Then again, I have read almost all of the FFF and the real deal- it's like chickenpox. I'm immune now...
-
My only thoughts when Pinkie Pie ripped out Dash's heart: "PONY MA! PONY MA! PONY MA!'
-
Everything is proceeding as I have foreseen.
-
He, at least she didn't wear it around her neck like a feather boa.
-
I've never been that freaked out by Cupcakes. It doesn't even seem that gross or terrible or violent or anything. Perhaps it's because I'm not into MLP:FIM, but I could probably write a more disturbing fanfiction about ponies if I wanted to. (this probably has a lot to do with my dad being a lawyer)
-
Rob, you really need to just man up and feature Cupcakes on FFF already. Come on, man, just do it.
-
If the character is dead - how is the heart still beating? MMMMmmmmmmeh! Nothing beats "Dead Jesus Rodeo" : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GZyNBK6M6BQ
-
It made me think of Itchy and Scratchy, really. And what's wrong with people anyway.
-
OK.... if somebody can see the fun of magical pony vivisection... what's next, the pony centipede?
-
You know, I was fine until she bit through the intestine. For some reason, that's the moment my brain tipped from amused to horrified. Strange.
-
Did this remind anyone else of Ren and Stimpy?
-
They can be nakeder than that.
-
Ah. That wasn't so bad. A little goofy, but entertaining. I personaly enjoyed Cupcakes, but then I read it right after Agony in Pink which genuinely disturbed me...
-
I must admit the still wriggling organs & bits in the cupcakes was a delightful touch - like raisins!
-
I will quote Twilight Sparkle on this: "Wow catchy"
-
I'm thinking it's pretty damn near the shows quality of work, not a main animator. But perhaps someone who helps them when they are either over worked, or under staffed. It happens. But if it's not, I have to say it's still pretty damn impressive... Despite the subject, which still makes me cringe. Damn this site, just when I think there is nothing I can cringe at... Oh well, we still have FFF To look forward to.
-
or, perhaps, was
-
You do realize he is an animator at hasbro, right?
-
THIS HAD BETTER NOT COUNT FOR FFF. I had an elaborate rickicker-style suicide planned out and everything!
-
...Those cupcakes don't look very appetizing.
-
sad inside because of what? you have been transformed, elevated by the beauty that is pain into a work of art. now eat your cupcake.
-
I think I might've just threw up a little in my mouth. Thanks.
-
well, be relieved that there are proxy servers, and that now I'm all sad on the inside :(
-
Big thanks - that one is right next to the "ball point pen song" on my list of madness inducing musical favorites!
-
Andrew W.K. Get Ready to Die
-
AHHH! You lied! They were all naked!
-
That song is very catchy. Anyone know what that's from, who performs it and what the title is? I want it to play on a continuous loop somewhere other than my head. There were a lot of liberties taken with the source matter, but it was still fun.
-
This thing gave me a rather big smile, I may be horribly deranged, but cute things murdering each other always seems to cheer me up. A bit like Happy Tree Friends.
-
You. Rat. Bastard. Great, I've had my Elias/Randal moment ("Why would you want to see something like that? / Because it's f**ked up!") and it was on TR...
-
How I envy you.
-
Also of note, the guy who uploaded it is claiming to be a Hasbro animator in the description, and is saying he hasn't read the actual story itself. Mind, you don't need to read the actual story to get the gist of the idea.
-
Well. That was cheerful.
-
That was the scariest thing since End of Evangelion.
-
I know minimum 3 more or less animated Cupcakes Storys and all of them scare the road apple out of me.
-
... and, it's blocked in Germany. GEMA is teh sux :(
-
with a thursday like today, with DC PENIS and ET, what wonders await us tomorrow!
