The Alicorn Amulet twists its wearer into madness and megalomania. Nopony can wear it without repercussions, both for themselves and others. Nopony is safe. Nopony is exempt.

Still, nopony expected him.

I was wondering when someone would write a story about Weird Al's big album release as mirrored through Cheese Sandwich, and when I saw the cover pic I thought this was it :derpytongue2: but I guess not. Still funny though.

#2 · 115w, 1d ago · 18 · ·

That... was brilliant. I was laughing all the way through. So very cheesy. :pinkiehappy:

#3 · 115w, 1d ago · 25 · ·

This was the first Cheese Sandwich fanfiction I read.

...I am still trying to grasp in what I just read.

#4 · 115w, 1d ago · 3 · ·

Now I'm wondering if cheese pie (not the ship) is an actual thing...

EDIT: There's a Wikipedia page for such a thing, but it redirects to cheesecake

#5 · 115w, 1d ago · 15 · ·

Cheese Sandwich jolted out of his reverie. "Wha? Oh!" He beamed, coughed, affected nonchalance, realized that was dumb, and went back to the wide smile.

Smart guy.

I agree with this fine and astute gentleman here on the excellent nature of this here fic.

#7 · 115w, 1d ago · · ·

Even the coverart looks brilliant! :pinkiehappy:

*commences reading*

#8 · 115w, 1d ago · 6 · ·

Fantastic!  Funny and bubbling with marvelous neologisms -- from Partopia, to the Light-Evoking Dweomer, to the Shouting Moon (which I now totally regard as an official title), you consistently knocked my socks off no matter how much tape I used.  Just plain nifty all throughout!

#9 · 115w, 1d ago · 2 · ·

Oh. My. GOD. YES!!!

#10 · 115w, 1d ago · 2 · ·

THE CHEESE IS EPIC :pinkiehappy:

#11 · 115w, 1d ago · 14 · ·

I didn't just dare to be stupid, I was paid for it.

Mashed potato is your friend!:derpytongue2:

#12 · 115w, 1d ago · 5 · ·

dare to be stupid

Hue.

even dare to eat a peach

Double hue

Also, pretty nice story. I even liked all the nicknames. Very, very nice read.

#13 · 115w, 1d ago · 3 · ·

Have ALL the party streamers! Good Lord, this was brilliant. The shiny new Hosstralia finished me.

How long did it take you to write this? Because this is dense with references.

It's really amazing. I must process this more fully.

EDIT: How ponies invent Velcro. HAH!

#14 · 115w, 1d ago · 2 · ·

I'm surprised you didn't work in the titles Polka Party!, The Carnival of the Animals - Part Two, or Poodle Hat. "Weird Al" Yankovic, Peter and the Wolf, and Straight Outta Lynwood I can understand; they just don't quite fit because of the names used in the titles.

#15 · 115w, 1d ago · 1 · ·

Definitely glad I read this. Five out of five. :yay::yay::yay::yay::yay:

#16 · 115w, 1d ago · · ·

Lovely story, though I had to stop really early on and get the groans out because of the "vault the vault" pun and the "Dare to be Stupid" reference. After that it was great!

I think you missed a word here though.

The prince-emperor was easily assuaged. Slipping inside his shields was foal's play. His mind was still soft from the ministrations of a dark queen, and so he was readily convinced that his love would return, happier than ever. I left him with grateful tears in his eyes.

#17 · 115w, 1d ago · · ·

I knew that something like this was going to happen... I just knew it.

#18 · 115w, 1d ago · · ·

This is pretty danged cool.

#19 · 115w, 1d ago · · ·

On a scale of 1 to 10, this easily scores a 15.

#20 · 115w, 1d ago · 5 · ·

>>4810845 Bite! Some Wooden Nickles. Look! For Mr. Goodbar. Hey! Work your mojo now! I'll show you how, you can dare to be stupid!

#21 · 115w, 1d ago · · ·

I'm gonna be really upset if this premise isn't well written. I actually started grinning when I saw this.

#22 · 115w, 1d ago · 2 · ·

>>4811486

on a scale of 1 to 10 this is a :rainbowhuh:

partially because of that cover.

#23 · 115w, 1d ago · 4 · ·

Lol. Caught all the Song/Album references. Nice! :rainbowlaugh:

I think the Mandatory Fun / Alicorn Amulet was a brilliant idea.

Not sure I would've gone the dark route though. Cheese Sandwhich definitely belongs on the comedy/slice of life side of the fics. :unsuresweetie:

Then again...Pinkie :pinkiecrazy:

>>4811538 It's like spitting on a fish! It's like barking up a tree!

It's like I said you gotta buy one if you wanna get one free!

Dare to be stupid!

(True story, I went to look up the lyrics and I somehow spelt "stupid" wrong. Looks like I don't need to do any daring!:derpytongue2:)

Oh, no.  There's Cheese pies.  You get them at Lebanese bakeries, usually found by some shawarma places.  Lovely products, they are.  Best approximated by melting cheese curds over naan bread, I've found.

offer me a shiny new Hosstralia

Silly Pinkie, he was a conqueror, not an evil scientist.

I didn't just dare to be stupid, I was paid for it.
You just have to mention the songs don't you? It's a predicable joke, but it checks out.

She was forced to seal herself in her sun to recuperate.
This isn't going so well.

As an added benefit, both sisters spending time in their respective celestial spheres meant that the sun and moon began moving under their own power,
I knew Celestia was lying to us! She couldn't move the moon. And why did it take the second mention of the Shouting Moon to figure out why she was called that?:facehoof:

I slipped between moments, between frames,
No doubt frames of film.

I needed help, the sort of help the more respectable sort of pony wouldn't be able to provide. Nor could pegasi or unicorns;
That's racist! And true.

but outside of conventional reality, she would at last have the perspective needed to see the humor of the situation. In 4-D, no less!
<head twitches>

Meanwhile, the God of Chaos, prodded by his minders, challenged me to a contest of wit and madness.
I want to see that!

That I had stopped calling ponies by their names and was using weird, often mildly insulting nicknames.
I like the name Uplifting Joy, The Rapturous One.

Without her, I wouldn't have the courage to run with scissors or even dare to eat a peach.
We are all searching for someone to give us the courage to run with scissors.

Not evil, wheel-hating laughter.
:rainbowlaugh:

That was fun!

oh man, when i saw this on the feature box, i just knew i had to read this. In fact, you could even say it was mandatory:yay:

Stuff like Carnival goes into the truly mostly unseen bits of Al-lore. Not that they aren't GOOD Al, just so rare as to be virtually unknown.

Bah, everypony knows mud ponies can't use magic.

They're inferior!  

:trollestia:

#35 · 115w, 22h ago · 4 · ·

not only all the Weird Al puns, but i saw that Doctor Horrible one too.

LED: Light-Evoking Dweomer.

Brilliant.

Mind if I use this from now on?

I enjoyed this wonderfully mad piece of fan-produced literature my friend:moustache:

#40 · 115w, 21h ago · 5 · ·

I thank you wonderful writer for writing this random and wonderful story. It has made my day. It also made me laugh a lot......:pinkiehappy:

I am a big fan of Weird Al and cheese sandwich,btw.:twilightsmile:

>>4811838

True. I didn't realize that it had gone out of print until recently. Good thing I picked up my copy in 1988!

#42 · 115w, 20h ago · · ·

You ponies are just so tacky. :pinkiehappy:

>>4812530 How could you possibly have the gumption to say that?

#45 · 115w, 19h ago · · ·

Of course not. I'm considered a genius in France!

#48 · 115w, 19h ago · 1 · ·

THE COVER ART... god it's so epic

#49 · 115w, 19h ago · 1 · ·

Nah, I don't see it. If Cheese became an evil dictator, he'd be The Boss from SR4.

And it would be fucking glorious.

#50 · 115w, 19h ago · 1 · ·

Well.

Huh.

Please take my most grandfestive congratulatory picture:
