I think "everypony" always bugged me just because it only exists to remind the viewer that the characters are ponies. It's not really something that would come about in regards to a literal part of a pony's body, or even a more figurative usage of the same (Twilight's exasperated "Princess 'Mi Amore Cadenza'? Who in the hoof is that?" line in ACW comes to mind). The show has never really suggested that the use of "-one" to refer to someone else is seen by ponies as dehumanizing deequinizing in Equestrian society, so as such I don't think there's any particular purpose for it.

The horseisms make it more fun. That's the purpose. :pinkieshrug:

Yeah. It's kind of like the names of places. Manehattan, Vanhoofer, Fillydelphia and Baltimare for example. It's cute and fun in the show, but of course realistically they wouldn't actually name those places how they have. It's ridiculous, but in kind of a good way.

I finally rewatched this episode (first time in not-stream quality) and as I suspected, it didn't hold up on second viewing. I mean on the one hand it's wild and crazy and it's impressive that they pretty much went "you bitches want memes? Well here's ALL THE MEMES" but that ultimately means it ages poorly. Not to say that's necessarily a bad thing when we're talking about a 100th episode extravaganza, but it's a gimmick that works once. This is probably the only episode where I can unironically say "you had to be there to get it" and not sound like a complete tool.

reality: a man falls through the earth and into parisian catacombs. taking a torch from the wall he spies row upon row of skeletons. grasping the nearest by the shoulders, he shakes it madly, yelling "my nigga have u tried mlp"
