It's pretty obvious who really wrote this story ...

Love it. It was incredibly stupid yet perfect

My good this was so awesome

I loved the over the top action humor, it reminded me of dr. mcninja and axecop fantastic.

I loved all the cliches the evil german scientist, the self destruct buttons and so on.

And the ending BRILLIANT.

MORE GIVE ME MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORE

Flim and Flam work surprisingly well as murderous zombie cyborg space pirates.

I lol'd.

That story was beautiful

Having your minions appear from the corners of a round room is certainly a hard feat. Mein Daring hu-pony freund aus den U.S.A can Do better.

I think I have passed the cheesiness factor for a comment, no?

The only possible followup to this...

Twilight Sparkle simply STARED at Rainbow Dash.  "I'm really sorry to say this... but you SUCK at fanfiction.   I mean... really really suck."

Rainbow Dash lowered her head.  "I know."  She sighed, and added, "But at least I remembered to spellcheck it this time!"

Huh.... so that's why Dash reads Daring Do.

Reading this reminded me of the time I put guacamole in my spaghetti ... it's so bizarre it just works.

Seriously, the action is totally over the top, and utterly improbable. The dialog is campy and spattered with movie references, and overall this story reads like a b-movie from the 1950's.

Spot on, Lucky Roll. Keep it up! Bring back the old "cliffhanger" style from the 50's!

Voted up and Tracked

What did I just read?!

This was so much fun!

"Rule of cool" at it's finest.

I was in a skype call when I found this story and I knew it was awesome so I did a dramatic reading there on the spot for the people in there.

even the non brony liked it.

Good lord 6 stars in EQD

Must read

You know, using a fishbowl to breathe in space still makes more sense than getting into a fridge to survive a nuclear explosion.

This story is all kinds of win. I laughed so hard at multiple points during the story - the sheer level of ludicrousness followed by even greater levels of ludicrousness is just wonderful.

It gets 20% cooler (at the least) if you imagine that this is narrated by BRIAN BLESSED!!!

@JohnPerry

I thought the same thing while reading this story, and your pithy comment made me laugh all over again!

I almost did a spit-take on my keys when I read that. Thanks for that grin!

And there I was, planning to write something nearly as terribly amazing as this.

It was going to have BonBon in it, and Gilda with a flamethrower, and all sorts of crazy Indy-type action. And you beat me to it.

Thanks everyone for the comments! You're the best - only after me, of course (just joking!    OR AM I?!  )

>>381541381541 I had a similar ending in my mind with "Twilight doesn't even", but then this other idea occurred to me and I went with this one.

>>382338382338 Brian Blessed? Wasn't he the king guy from Blackadder? FRESH HORSES!!! Wait, are ponies horses? We're slipping into creepypasta territory here...  

>>385251385251 Hey, when you have an idea for a glorious random fic, but can't decide whether to write it, ask yourself: what would Discord do? Protip: he'd write it. You should too!

>>386713386713

Brian Blessed was in a good deal of English comedic movies, and a great deal besides. If it's an older British film, and there's a large man with a large beard with a LARGE VOICE then it's probably BRIAN BLESSED!!

*reads along until*

She was too late! The evil genius, Dr. Scientist was already here!

I'm in this story?!   *evil mad scientist IRL!!*  >:}

>>386942386942 Despite what you might have thought based on the fic, I actually hardly watch movies, so I can't name any other films featuring him. Though judging by his performance as King Richard IV, I agree a dramatic reading in his voice would be simply majestic.

>>387377387377 Yes. Yes, it was you all along. Also, Wilhelm is your father. Search your feelings, you know it to be true!

>>388765388765  NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!  *cuts off hand and jumps down big metal hole*

A sound can be heard in space if it is loud enough!

Truth.

I spy references to both Robin Hood: Men in Tights and Spaceballs: The Movie. Somebody is a Mel Brooks fan?

>>498302498302

Why yes, somebody is... but this somebody isn't me, it's you! The references weren't intentional. I haven't even seen those films: as I commented earlier, despite the nature of the fic (action-movie parody), I hardly ever watch movies. (Well, maybe the Robin Hood one, years ago, in high school, but still...)

The mere simplicity is genius.

I was laughing at the description for a good 5 miutes before I actually read it!

This was great!! what a fun read.

I refuse to comment on how much I shat myself laughing at this. Most profitable twenty minutes I've ever spent. The gratuitous German was a wonderful touch.

This was the dumbest thing I have read in a long time. Luckily for you, this appears to be the intention, and so I will gratify you with laughter.

Ha. Ha. Ha.

>>319630319630 Rainbow Dash is the best fanfic writer.

Congratulations Rainbow-bike, you're the new Wilhelm.

This sort of humor is hard to pull off well. All things considered, I might just recommend this for the Pony Fiction Vault next time I'm talking to the guy.

PROTIP: this story is even better if you read while listening to this over and over:

Question... Where can I get that chatty voice for the computer?

Great story! It is indeed clear who actually wrote it though...

If you order a new space cruiser NOW, you'll get THREE voice sets of your choice free! Don't hesitate, the offer expires in three days!

It's good, but sadly I can't help but compare it to Quest of the Friendship Stones, and I like that better.
