The Mythbuckers!
Written by AuroraDawn and (eventually) based on reader-submitted suggestions, Mythbuckers is a hilarious exploration of classic and cliche myths and narrative devices used in My Little Pony fan works. While Rainbow Dash and Applejack are the nominal stars of the show, the first chapter quickly gets all of the Mane 6 except for Fluttershy involved in testing the myth that unicorn spells are prone to catastrophic, world-rending failures.

It quickly becomes obvious that although the ponies have a general idea of what they're supposed to do- AJ and Dash trade off explaining stuff while Twilight operates the camera - they have almost no script and they seem to be broadcasting live and thus cannot afford multiple takes. They often break off on tangential arguments and discussions, especially once Pinkie Pie shows up with 300 mL of nitroglycerin in her saddlebags and reveals that she's got enough explosives in Sugar Cube Corner to level the entire town if they were to go off (she's not allowed to use gas stoves because of this).

The myth itself is tested by first startling Rarity with a thunderclap while she uses her magic to knit, and then by setting of Pinkie's nitroglycerin near Twilight while she concentrates on something. All that results is a scared Rarity, a briefly angry Twilight, and a distinct lack of space-time ruptures.

Future episodes/chapters will included the Cutie Mark Crusaders as the secondary Mythbucker team and cover such topics as the fragility of pegasus wings and if chocolate milk can be made into an explosive. And it's unlikely that the ponies will have their act together any better.
