Uhh....uhh.....*shatter*
Yous dun broken mine bran.
Is the joke that Rainbow is too simple-minded to confuse?
6425427
Actually, it’s that you can always count on Rainbow Dash to give you a straight answer.
I... well, I, erm...
...
Well, I can't eat popcorn to this!
6426498
Why not?
6426548
It's too... I don't know, cerebral? I can't eat popcorn to cerebral stories; I'm an American.
It should be at least PG-13, and then I'll shovel popcorn away. Do you realize how much money you stand to make if only you would sell out?
6426615
Oh dang. My characters are too good. They have taken the confusion they spread, throught the fourth wall itself.
Nowhere is safe.
Ah, simple answers to simple questions.
On another note, I think the formatting could use a bit of tweaking, though.
I'm assuming the 'What?' is Twilight's thought. If that's the case, it was a little distracting to see it squeezed in the middle of Masquerade's dialogue like that. Splitting his dialogue and her thoughts into separate paragraphs might make it easier to read. Like so:
6426771
Edited. Also glad you like it.
Well, it's actually a good question.
I think Fluttershy's got the right idea. He shouldn't be thinking of questions like that, it really isn't healthy.
Writing Guide - Punctuation - Dialogue:
This goes with what Raugos said. Seeing phrases with different speakers together in the same paragraph can be very confusing.
Since you didn't say anything in the description, I'll assume you haven't got a proofreader for this story. If you need, I can give you a link to a document full of proofreaders, and you could ask for help as remove errors from stories and increase the chance people see/like them.

This is what I get for arrogance.
I get humbled.
(also, I believe I fixed it. Didn't I?)
6427698 You did, I was just complementing what was said earlier.
6427791
I see.
Thank you anyway.
At first I was a tad confused, simply because I saw that it was meant to be a parody of the story of a similar name regarding Fluttershy. Then as I continued reading I started to realize that this was much more like a monty python skit and promptly began to laugh
Ha, my brain was not sprained! I read these kinds of ridiculous things all the time!
… I'm not sure if that's a good thing.
Either way, I have the giggles now. Bravo, good sir! fc05.deviantart.net/fs71/f/2012/365/c/a/clapping_pony_icon___changeling_by_taritoons-d5ps0kg.gif
Wat
6428878 That's what I thought, until my mind accepted the insanity and realized what exactly was going on in Magical Pony Candyland.
6429124
Enlighten me.
6429867 To what?
6430192
To what you consider happening in this Equestria. I am very interested in the readers' interpretations.
6430217 Shenanigans. Plain and simple. Well, not entirely plain, and certainly not simple, but you the picture. If it involves shenanigans, it's happening.
6430228
Yes, well, I LOVE shenanigans.
6433384 Pony shenanigans are the BEST shenanigans.
6433775
Or changeling shenanigans. :)
6433838 Well, bug-ponies are ponies, too, you racist.
6434020
It depends on the headcanons.
6434183 And it just so happens to be mine.
6434435
What just happens to be yours?
6434561 bugs r ponez 2
Fantastic. :D
But how can Twilight purple when she is?6505503
Twilight is more of a lavender.
6506171
Point.
6434183 This reminds of of Game Grumps.
JonTron: I thought I heard you say "Guillermo Del totally okay with that!"
Egoraptor: Well, you're a fucking racist.
This is my favourite one of these yet. There's not enough stories where a character just straight-up trolls Twilight like this. She's such an obvious target, too.
Bloody hell Twilight.
Rainbow Dash just beat you!
..it just never ends, does it.
6530756
What'd you mean?
6530858 The "would it matter if" fics.
6531437
Fun fact: This is the first parody of the original.
6532749 Well butter my butt and call me a biscuit, I didn't expect that.
Reminds me a little bit of "a blessing in disguise".
Loved it.
Wow, Twilight, even I, with my very low IQ understood his question
-
Interesting read, short and sweet
I evidently haven't had enough tea yet to process this fic.
Is Masquerade trying to ask if there would be a difference in ponies' reactions to him between "Masquerade is a changeling" and "Masquerade is not a changeling" scenarios, and just phrasing it in a way that's technically correct but designed to trip up people like Twilight (and apparently Fluttershy), or is the question not supposed to make sense and Rainbow's success a win via Wheatley logic?
I also saw what you did with Fluttershy's Wonderbolt uniform. Is it delicious irony, or just a Nightmare Night costume?
6613135
Factually speaking, Masquerade is the type of 'ling who doesn't know when to stop trolling, and accidentally comes out with a serious question in the end.
Also, this Rainbow Dash is so desperate to become a Wonderbolt, that she's willing to kidnap members and interrogate them for secrets. Since she's so bad at being bad, Flutters always keeps a spare uniform for whenever somepony wants to find Dashie. As to where she got it? I'll leave that to the readers.
6613212
Ah. I didn't see that one coming, but it makes a lot of sense. I suppose that means he successfully trolled me, too.
It's this part that I was curious about; Dash's motives were clear enough in the story itself.
Original conjecture: Fluttershy is a Wonderbolt on her own merits, while Dash hasn't earned that yet, because it's that kind of fic. The word "spare" seemed to hint at this.
Alternate conjecture: Fluttershy is better than Dash is at kidnapping wonderbolts, and had Soarin over for tea. Insert ship-tease here.
This fic gave me a headache and made me chuckle. Well played.

But you are a... wait...

oh, I get it. He's asking as if he was a pone.
...right?
