The similarities between Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich are almost unsettling, really. One of the preview clips even pointed it out.

This gonna be good.
Pinkie Pie: So, you see this here? This, um, this is um, a big, round room. It's known for its roundness, and bigness, and did I mention that it's round?

I think that Cheese Sandwich (by the way, the name sorta grates on me. I get it's Weird Al but the name just sounds a little too stupid) could end up being a good foil for Pinkie, kinda like Lightning Dust was to Rainbow Dash or Suri was to Rarity.

Also, this gonna be good, indeed Applepie. This definitely is gonna be good. :awesomedash:

The Hub ad alone, the one where it freezes, and the floating, dinging arrow goes "Weird Al Yankovic!" has me in stitches.

I really, really hope theres at least one pie in the face.

Going by the previews alone, Cheese Sandwich will definitely be getting a Pie up in his face in this episode.

This'll be a great episode, I can't wait for it. I'm also so glad they chose to introduce him as The Man with No Name, complete with harmonica riffs in the background.

William Anderson not only worked with Weird Al and the band but has also toured with them, so no doubt he helped in some regards to getting all this together, along with Jayson Thiessen extending that invite via twitter two years ago.

This airs Saturday night here and on Sunday morning at PonyconAU there is a Q&A panel with Andrea Libman and Peter New, no doubt there'll be a lot of things to ask them about the episode and working with Al Yankovic.

While Weird Al already seems to be a pretty nice addition to the episode, judging from the previews, the main thing I'm excited about with this episode is Amy Keating Rogers' return. She probably has my favorite arsenal of episodes, she's probably the funniest of the writers imo, and on top of all that she's also the one who writes Pinkie the best imo, so she just seems like such an amazingly perfect fit for this episode all-around.

It would be a nice little appearance, but I have no idea if it'll just be a background cameo or something else.

Speaking of birthaversaries, I just remembered this post from the spoiler thread for this episode. Can't let it go forgotten:

I really don't think so. This is potentially Pinkie's key episode, the whole circumstance of why to have a big party is a plot device.

I'd be mildly impressed if Rainbow's parents showed up, but I imagine they won't, since it wouldn't be immediately relevant to the plot.

Hopefully Spike gets an invite. For the record, in Sweet and Elite, I assumed it was an "all girls/Mane 6" party. Spike hung out with Shining Armor after they had a larger party in Ponyville. Can't speak for Party of 1 or other occasions.

Given that Spike had to tape himself into a photo from that party, I doubt that he managed to be at another party later. :fluttersmith:

I'm starting to think Pinkie is prejudice against dragons. Maybe it's cause that big red one insulted her in S1 by wrecking her props when she went in his cave.

Pegasi don't have parents, they generate spontaneously from clouds.

Not sure how much of a role Dash will play in this episode, but I imagine she's part of the impetus for making the whole thing a competition. Anypony else's birthday, the plot would probably go a different way.

Spike did ruin Rarity's birthday... Maybe that's why they're not allowing him back. :v:

Cover of the TP of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic: Volume One. The cake says "Happy Birthday Rarity", and as you can see, someone ruined it and burnt someone's tail off. :-/

Image

And that's why Spike isn't allowed at birthdays anymore. Everything makes sense now. :twiright:

And on topic about the episode, how did Cheese Sandwich ever get that name? Or the cutie mark? Now I'm curious... :ponder:

I was going to say that maybe his parents were stoners with a case of the munchies when they chose his name, but then I realized that "his/her parents were stoners" works for damn near every pony name.

Obviously Cheese Sandwich has that secret Grilled Cheese Aspiration from The Sims 2. :v:

His life's dreams and goals were fully realized the moment he ate his first grilled cheese sandwich. BAM - instant cutie mark.

I SO hope they have Al do a cover of the theme song. It seems like a no-brainer.

Also, we need to have a checklist of things that Al usually crams into his albums and songs to see if they show up in this episode. Looking on the Weird Al Wiki, there's;

    the number 27
    bending guitars
    cheese (as if this hasn't been made clear by the guy's name being Cheese Sandwich, the cheese shoes, etc.)
    nerds
    obesity (probably not going to show up for obvious reasons)
    polka
    Star Trek (as if this show needs more of them)
    Star Wars
    Television
    The Simpsons

Cheese Sandwich probably won't even show up in the cold open (or barely will). I don't think we'll be getting anything different for the theme song.

Though I'm not expecting it here, it would be cool if Weird Al did something for the end credits. The show has played different songs in the credits a few times in the past.

This would be an appropriate episode to do end credits, yes. (Which would not be fully heard until Monday... if iTunes actually gets the audio right that is...)

So I first heard there'd be a Weird Al episode my first reaction was "ugh celebrity guest star episode it's gone SO GREAT the other times Hasbro has let Weird Al guest-star."

Then I remembered the other time Hasbro has let Weird Al guest-star.

Then everything became right and good and pretty. :allears:
