Yeah, it was just an example of what I was trying to describe. It's far from the only thing that exemplifies it. Food was the only thing I could think of.

@Apple: i can't imagine Pinkie not being hyperactive.
All things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.

True. It's such a key aspect of her character.

Also, how do you guy's like the idea of a pony doing talents outside of their 'tribal' features.

Tealove is best pony. Ask The Mane Six

No reason why it shouldn't work. If the show's any condition, anypony can do whatever talent suits them best regardless of tribe.

Nothing wrong with that; even within the show the "tribal skills" aren't that clearly delineated. They have tendencies, but nothing is set in stone, so there shouldn't be any problems.

This is great. Things like a pegasus being a chef, a unicorn wanting to be a wonderbolt member etc. could be really interesting.

A unicorn wanting to be a Wonderbolt would be pretty tough. Pegasus chef would presumably be pretty easy. You got Griffon chefs after all, they're fairly similar.

Well, if said unicorn was really good at levitation magic.
What's this? A handsome family picnic woefully underpopulated by bees? A large influx of bees ought to put a stop to that!

Well, either levitation or translocation magics.

Or a jet pack.

Assuming they could teleport quickly enough to never hit the ground, they wouldn't even need levitation.

Why not a Da Vinci flying machine? That'd probably be the best bet!

I see I missed the Spike episode discussion earlier. But this video made me appreciate "Owls Well That Ends Well" more than I did before:

On that note, I noticed that all three of the big FIM abridged series turn Rainbow Dash into some flavor of idiot. Which makes me wonder if there are any FIM parodies out there where Dash is actually smart.
And, since today is apparently National Jump To Conclusions Day...

I couldsee an Earth Pony doing that.

It's never been stated on the show, but I assume the fanon that Fallout Equestria establishes that Earth Ponies are rather good with construction. In any case, I'd love to see Pinkie tring to chase Dash with a jetpack.

I don't remember: does Twilight's teleportation change the velocity of the teleportee?

I don't think it does. In which case he'd reach terminal velocity pretty quickly and spend the rest of his presumably short life desperately teleporting up but not too far up that he hits space.

The only case I can think of when she wasn't teleporting a stationary target was when Spike was trying to run away, and he seemed to keep his momentum. Don't know if that's a requirement of the spell though.

Ultra Fast Pony. Not as famous as FIW or Mentally Advanced, but deserves props for successfully abridging every episode of season 1. Also, my favorite of the bunch.

I only know Mentally Advanced RD and only because of RD Presents. And she don't appear much dumber, more like more naive and silly.
Because he know I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe.

I will have to check that one out.

@Meta: I don't think we've seen it in action enough times to really tell.

Well in DQ she teleported herself and her friends while they were running, does anyone remember if they came out running?

Oh and Pegasus chef, yeah totally can see that, unicorn Wonderbolt.. that's a stretch.

And I have had this odd image last while I'd like to see, a pony version of one of those oriental places where the tables are really counters around a central cooking area where the chefs put on a show for you while cooking. Add in magic and wings, could get some pretty interesting shows.

@Metafour: Not that I recall. She certainly didn't maintain her momentum when she bluffed Nightmare Moon with her charge, only to teleport behind her to reach the Eo H.

Well, Rd is not particularly intelligent in the show, and her tendency to act before thinking is easy to exaggerate as her not thinking at all. It's pretty typical comedic exaggeration.
