Epic Pony Time

Epic Pony Time is the informal title for a series of fan animations originally inspired by the EpicMealTime series on YouTube. They are all animated by 47times, with varying input from other creators.

Epic Cupcake Time
The first episode originated as an audio recording produced by ltknorr. 47times later set animation to the audio. The video consists of a spoof of the viral Youtube videos "EpicMealTime", in which Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash create a cupcake in the same style the people on EpicMealTime would.

The video starts off with Pinkie Pie introducing herself and Rainbow Dash where she tells the viewers they are going to make "crazy cupcakes". She then starts to make the cupcakes out of five bags of sugar, one bag of flour and a jar full of rainbow juice. She then proceeds to cook them with Spike's fire as she adds rainbows, flowers, and friendships. Finally, Rainbow Dash adds lots of rainbow-colored icing. Pinkie then invites Derpy Hooves and Fluttershy to eat the cupcakes. At the end of the video she says that next time, they will eat Applejack's. In a closing gag, Applejack appears at the window and says "Beg yur pardon?".

Epic Pie Time
The second episode of the series strongly resembles the first one in concept. In the video, Pinkie Pie makes an apple pie with the help of Applejack and Rainbow Dash. Pinkie Pie insults Rarity, also saying that she would have also been there if she hadn't decided to skip out. The ponies prepare the ingredients (which include eggs, flour, water, and "Applejack Daniel's") and put them in a bowl, having DJ Pon3 mix them using her turntable (while playing dubstep music).

After Pinkie puts the pie in the oven to bake, Rainbow wonders aloud how she's going to pay for all the ingredients. Pinkie addresses the audience and tells them that she's set up a website full of videos and that the viewers should purchase a subscription so Pinkie can get her "cupcake money". The URL as superimposed upon the screen does exist, but redirects to a t-shirt store.

When the pie is done, Pinkie tops it off with "hay bacon strips" and whipped cream. With the pie finished, Rarity suddenly bursts through the door, asking who insulted her at the beginning. The ponies point at the pie, and Rarity angrily eats it. Pinkie concludes the video by stating that "next time, we eat Skrillex".

"Epic Pie Time" was first shown at Bronycon 2012. However, in that version, the zap apples at the beginning weren't present and only added in later. The "hay bacon strips" are a reference to EpicMealTime's "gay bacon strips", which are colorful strips of candy that look like bacon (as seen in this video, for instance). "Applejack Daniel's" is a parody of Jack Daniel's, a brand of whiskey.

Epic Wub Time
The third episode deviates from the previous two by not being based explicitly on the EpicMealTime videos. It documents the lives of Vinyl Scratch and Octavia, who are roommates, in the style of reality television. It features music from MandoPony, Omnipony, and TheLivingTombstone. One of its scenes is a reference to the film The Expendables.
