Glad to see this finally posted! Thanks to all of you for your opinions and insights.

As a fan of both Monty Python and Blackadder myself, I can see the influences of both in the story that Skywriter made, and thanks to this video, I just finished reading.

The idea of the entire world CRUMBLING into economic destruction, just because Celestia doesn't like Tea feels like something out of a Monty Python skit, where they had a whole documentary skit devoted to "Storage Jars", while the dialogue itself seems like it would fit right into a comedy akin to Blackadder or anything with Rowan Atkinson. It also kind of takes a bit of cues of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, citing random facts and sources, and how simple things can be blown COMPLETELY out of portion.

I will be sorry to admit however, as this is just a personal preference, but written comedy on a page doesn't really clench me in terms of humor. I'm more of a visual person when it comes to comedy, such as the stylings of the Three Stooges, Rowan Atkinson's physical comedy, and even hearing the rantings and ravings of Ghost from True Capitalist Radio to really get me laughing. This is by NO means a fault of Skywriter, but just my personal preference.

HOWEVER, if this fic were transitioned into an Audio reading *NUDGE NUDGE SCRIBBLER *, I have NO doubt that I will be laughing my head off the entire time. This dialogue, when put into the voices of the characters would make it OH SO much more funny.

And again, thank you Scribbler for introducing this excellent piece of the fandom to me. ONE MORE FIC UNTO THE BREACH!

Very nice, the both of them. :) Although the fic reviewed... never found it funny. Sorry.
