(Given that Al's style is "Polka!", that's not terribly difficult)

Well, she can move clouds around, so she probably could have built it herself. And I'm pretty sure Twilight can buy anything she wants since she's got rights to the royal treasury
Niels Olof wrote:
Ah, the outside of her home is made of clouds, but inside (as you can see in the referenced shot (as well as the end of Read It and Weep)) it's marble. Now, whereas construction quality cloud may be a readily available commodity, I sincerely doubt that air grade marble is quite as common.
As for Princess Twilight, I doubt she would regard the Equestrian treasury as her own.

But the libraries? Oh, Celestia help you (because Luna and Cady certainly won't) if you damage one of the books owned by the royalty.

Interesting side point, again we're seeing the pattern of one of the characters earning their magic rainbow key by inspiring their element in another pony. Except in this case, Pinkie earned it by inspiring someone many, many years ago, before finding the box, before hearing about the Tree of Harmony, before becoming an embodiment of the element of laughter, before even meeting her friends. That's some crazy meta arc story business going on. This show.

this is how you do a Pinkie episode
this is how you do a musical
this is how you do an emotional episode
this is how you do a guest appearance
this is how you do a key episode
And the list just goes on and on...

Possibly my favorite gag in the whole thing was Pinkie actually sticking a cupcake in her eye.
Rainbow Dash is right. I never meant to take your place in Ponyville. I just wanted to show you what a great party pony I am, Pinkie.
Headless Horse wrote:But I doubt he's ever done anything where he's had to read lines with so much sincerity and warmth as he did here.
He's not "on" here. He's just some guy who's talking to Pinkie like a respectful fan and colleague. That in itself might be a first for Weird Al—to have a role to play where at some point he just stops being a goofball cartoon character and engages with his fellow characters like rational adults.
E: So the Mane 6 Tribute Band so far consists of Coco, Spitfire, and Cheese?

Ransom wrote:It's quite unlikely, but a "Tribute 6" episode has potential. You already have a nice mix of characters, with shy Coco, brash and confident Spitfire, and zany Cheese. Imagine them going on an adventure.
Of course the big obstacle is I doubt you can just call on Weird Al for any old episode (or maybe you can? Who knows what his cost is?). Unless you get creative and say he 'lost his voice' and holds up signs, Road Runner and Wile E Coyote style
