Mentally Advanced Series
Season 2
TV-PG
My Little Pony: The Mentally Advanced Series is a series of videos that recontextualize episodes from the original show by re-editing and re-dubbing them. The general storylines are often kept somewhat intact, but the characters' personalities are drastically reinterpreted. Most of the voices are performed by the series' writer, FiMFlamFilosophy, who also performs these duties for Rainbow Dash Presents. The series' genesis was a result of creative differences with the team of another planned abridged series; FiMFlamFilosophy left and created his own videos from scratch.

- Episode -2 (Applebuck Season)E2
Episode -2 (Applebuck Season)Applejack's brother becomes injured right in time for him to miss the entire harvest season, so it's up to Applejack to make a complete fool of herself all around town and fundamentally do worse and worse work. Unless someone just intervenes and makes the problem a moot issue. - Episode -3 (Griffon the Brush Off)E3
Episode -3 (Griffon the Brush Off)Gilda visits Dash for a few weeks of fun and catching up. The two got up to a lot of trouble back in the day, but apparently there's been a bit of growing up and growing apart since then. It's funny how nostalgia can color your perception of someone. - Episode -4 (Boast Busters)E4
Episode -4 (Boast Busters)It can be a grand day when a performer comes to town! Unless said performer actually has no performance and plans to talk down to the town's residence. The glorious Trixie show takes no hostages, except perhaps for Trixie who feels awkwardly trapped on stage until things derail. - Episode -6 (Look Before You Sleep)E6
Episode -6 (Look Before You Sleep)There's a storm set to roll in over Ponyville, and Twilight finds two of her friends cooped up in her house, presumably for the night. Between the three of them they don't have a single common interest or mutual hobby. They blasted a god with rainbows once and that's about it. - Episode -7 (Bridle Gossip)E7
Episode -7 (Bridle Gossip)Nothing in Ponyville is more horrible then when a strange creature comes into town. And since they live next to a forest full of maticores and on top of the physical gateway to Hell itself, it's probably pretty reasonable to be afraid of anything you aren't used to. - Episode -10 (Call of the Cutie)E10
Episode -10 (Call of the Cutie)Growing up as a pony means having your destiny magically determined for you by a life-long image on your butt. Whatever that image comes to be, whether it's a thumb tack or an inexplicable desert island, will be the one thing you're truly good at above all else. For this reason it's both a rite of adulthood and a kind of hazing ritual to gain and celebrate the cutie mark. Most children are afflicted at a very young age, but continue going to school anyway in spite of being imbued with all knowledge related to their craft by sorcery. - Episode -11 (Fall Weather Friends)E11
Episode -11 (Fall Weather Friends)Rainbow Dash stakes her personal worth on being able to win petty competitions, so there's not a lot of time before age sets in and she has to grapple with that. Applejack decides to muscle in for the sake of pride, and the result is an insecure Dash willing to go to any length to be the top of whatever the heck is going on. - Episode -12 (Suited for Success)E12
Episode -12 (Suited for Success)Rarity runs a "boutique" in a tiny little town where virtually nothing goes on. Every once and a while there's a prom or homecoming dance, but those require some less than stellar dresses. So when the possibility of going to the Gala comes up, Rarity works for things aside from direct financial compensation. The real money comes from the frilly numbers she sells out of the back room, anyway. - Episode -13 (Feeling Pinkie Keen)E13
Episode -13 (Feeling Pinkie Keen)Earth ponies don't get a lot of magic. They're supposed to be in touch with the earth, but unless they're farming or otherwise tending a garden, it doesn't seem like much of an advantage. Pinkie, however, has the psychiatrist powers. - Season -2 Ep -1E21
Season -2 Ep -1Twilight and friends are only called for when faced with the utmost friendship emergencies, but not if they involve something boring like real politics or diplomacy! Thus, when there actually is a job to do, it's generally some kind of strange, once in a lifetime issue that happens startlingly often for some reason, and this day the ponies are faced with a once in a lifetime foe. - Season -2 Ep -3E23
Season -2 Ep -3Twilight has to invent some kind of conflict so that she can write a story to Princess Celestia and make it seem like she's doing something with her life. The only problem is that they can only think of really dumb, implausible ideas that Celestia would never believe could happen.
