Friendship is Witchcraft

Friendship is Witchcraft is a comedic web series that takes scenes from the animated show My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and overlays them with entirely new, irreverent dialogue — a form of abridged series, though its creators have described it as more of a glimpse into a bizarro-universe version of the show than a straight parody. It is written by Sherclop Pones, a collective pen name used by Jenny Nicholson and Griffin Lewis, who also voice the majority of the characters themselves.

Each episode centers on a wildly reinterpreted version of the show's plot, twisting the personalities of characters like Twilight Sparkle, Rarity and Pinkie Pie into something stranger and more absurd than their source material, while keeping the original animation as a visual backbone. A defining feature of the series is that nearly every episode includes an original musical number, giving the project a distinct song-driven comedic identity within the abridged-series and My Little Pony fan community.

Tracks like «Gypsy Bard», «Pinkie's Brew (Episode Length)», «The Orphanage Song» and «I Love My Sister Rarity» became fan favorites, showcasing the series' knack for catchy, joke-dense songwriting layered over familiar animation. The show holds a notable place in 2010s internet fan-culture, standing out among My Little Pony abridged projects for its sharp writing and consistent musical output.
