In what could only be described as a stunningly brilliant business venture, Flim and Flam have constructed a carnival of sharks right outside Ponyville. As in, like, literally a Shark Carnival.

With actual sharks.

On actual rollercoasters.

It's going to rock so hard.

There are no words to express how inanely awesome this is, so I'll just leave you with this:

... I read the description.

My mental BSoD BSoD'd after a few seconds.

After reading: oh Celestia, you so silly.

:facehoof::facehoof:

Needs more Twilight Sharkle.

This was most radically funny. The part with the Monty-Python-esque reasoning when it came to deciding whether or not they had truly found Scootaloo had me on the floor. :rainbowlaugh:

That being said, I do believe that Dr. Trixie has one complaint about the carnival: :trixieshiftleft: "Okay, I have one request. And that is to have frikin' sharks with frikin' laser-beams attached to their frikin' heads."

Tonight I dine on shark-fin soup.

Too bad the sharks didn't mutate into the Street Sharks. Then we could continue the absurdity! Though all the ponies seem to make good Mondo Burgers.

Also, Celestia's last line. Fintastic!

AHAHAHAHAHA! Genius!

It was all building up to that last punch-line.

As the author of "Stallion Comics," this is the kind of story that inspires me. This is gold, awesome, and bajillions of other positive and manliness-inducing adjectives. I salute you!

Huh. You'd think Twilight would be smart enough to avoid or at least notice the shark infestation. And I can't believe they'd eat Fluttershy.

Aside from that, most amusing, though now I'll never be sure whether Scootaloo is fish or fowl.

Damn it! That last line! Don't make me throw pun rocks at you!

Why does the shark in the picture have Scootaloo's hair?

Seeing that the YYEEEAAAHHHHHHH has already been said, I believe this needs some

"I have had it with these motherf*ckin' sharks on this motherf*ckin' rollercoaster!"

Anyways, hilarious story.

Is that shark scootaloo?

Well-written, but doesn't have even Tex Avery-level plausibility/coherence/logic: The brothers wouldn't kill off a town for the change they had in their pockets. Tagged "comedy", but made me cringe, not laugh. It's too funny to be a horror story and too horrible to be a comedy. Should be rated "teen" and tagged "dark".

You, sir, are indeed the very definition of a magnificent bastard. I tip my cap to you!

I liked that not even Flim and Flam knew what a shark was. Also, poor, wonderful, not-bright Sweetie Belle accepting Scootaloo's replacement as Scootaloo. The dialogue throughout was great, especially the back and forth between Flim and Flam. I did think Celestia's end joke was a bit too much of a groaner, even for a story that is pretty much wall to wall groaners, but that might just have been me.

Overall: Did grin, would read again. :twilightsmile:

I'm Stephen Stealbrag and I approve this message.

WHY did we not think of this sooner?!?!?!?!?! There's millions in untapped riches in shark roller coasters!

Flim & Flam smell blood in the business waters! (TM)

This story was pretty funny, but the implied deaths of hundreds of sharks, and the completely unrelated event of the disappearance of everyone in ponyville together seems to me that the rating should be at least teen.1381967 agreed

You wrote this all for the sake of that pun, didn't you?

Mann Co., Aperture Science, watch out. You got competition coming straight from FlimFlam Enterprises.

Really? REALLY? Did you seriously write three thousand words just to make that pun?

Yeah, okay. I'll allow this.

Oh that ending.

Just... I got nothing.

despite the disappointing omission of an army of clowns on stilts.

How is that a bad thing again...?

~Skeeter The Lurker

Wait, what happened to Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle? was that "Scootaloo" actually a shark... out of water? :pinkiegasp:
I am kind of confused...
Great story though! :twilightsmile:
Poor Rarity...:raritydespair:

That ending....you brute.:rainbowlaugh:
