Read It (Starring Cheese Sandwich!)
CHEESE SANDWICH appears on stage, with accordion. Backup singers behind him are Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy and Zecora. On other instruments, the backup band consists of Octavia on fiddle, Vinyl Scratch on soundboard, Lyra Heartstrings on piano, and the Cutie Mark Crusaders trying and failing to get their cutie marks on drums.
CHEESE (dancing as he plays accordion):
How come you're always such a fussy young brony
You're so picky 'bout the fanfics from My Little Pony
Well don't you know that authors get to feeling kinda lonely
So read it
Just read it
PINKIE, FLUTTERSHY AND ZECORA: Ooo!
Don't wanna argue I don't wanna debate
Don't wanna hear about what kind of fics you hate
Karma's gonna get you if you don't bother to rate
So read it
Just read it
CHEESE (scowls into camera):
Don't you tell me it sucks!
CHEESE, PINKIE, FLUTTERSHY AND ZECORA:
Just read it, read it, read it, read it
Find an author's ego and feed it
Have some more random starring the Pie (PINKIE waves arms wildly)
It doesn't matter if the grammar makes you cry
Just read it, read it, read it, read it
CHEESE:
Your reading manners are just awful! Hot damn,
You haven't even left a single comment, man
How can you be so cold if you call yourself a fan?
Go read it
Just read it
You better listen, cause I don't wanna scold
So many stories out there that just gotta be told
Just remember how much you sucked when you yourself were twelve years old
So read it
Just read it
PINKIE, FLUTTERSHY AND ZECORA: Now!
CHEESE, PINKIE, FLUTTERSHY AND ZECORA:
Just read it, read it, read it, read it
Set a comment quota and meet it
Have some more grimdark, have some more HiE
Even if the wall'o'text makes you wanna die
Just read it, read it, read it, read it
Don't you make me repeat it
Read Alicorn OCs, read Gary Stu
It doesn't matter if the plot smells like poo
Just read it read it read it read it
Read it read it read it read it
(CHEESE and PINKIE dance, CHEESE playing the accordion still, PINKIE performing a kazoo solo)
CHEESE, PINKIE, FLUTTERSHY AND ZECORA:
So read it, read it, read it, read it
Stick your butt into a chair and seat it
Read about background ponies, read about the Mane 6
There's nowhere else better to get your pony fix
So read it, read it, read it, read it
Read it read it read it read it
TWILIGHT (disapprovingly): That's all very well and good, but ninety percent of all fanfics totally suck.
CHEESE: Ninety percent of everything sucks! Just read it!
(PINKIE and CHEESE toss fanfics at TWILIGHT, who desperately tries to catch all of them with her magic and read them all, as they dance around her singing)
Come on, read it, read it, read it, read it
Don't you make me repeat it (Oh Celestia!)
Have some crossovers, have Five Score By Four
Have some clopfics, then go surfing for more
Just read it read it read it read it
Read it read it read it read it

You know, I think bad fanfic is actually cyclical, in waves.
First (I think) there was the "chess game of the gods" (which I actually enjoyed), then there was Five score etc, and now there's the "guy in a Halloween costume/cosplay teleports to equestria but as the character he's portraying.
Of course, it's all a matter of opinion.

It wasn't funny, but it was a fun read.

That doesn't describe bad fanfic exactly. That describes overused tropes, which inevitably leads to bad fanfic, but the trope itself isn't necessarily the problem. I actually like a bunch of the cosplayer stories even though the basic concept is so bizarre and kind of stupid, because based on the rules of the trope, your "hero" has to be a villain... which can, when written well, produce some really interesting alternate viewpoints and some fun conflicts. (Also, I like villains.) But once a trope has been used several times, it becomes simultaneously harder to do anything original and good with it, and easier for bad writers to latch onto it and work with it, so these usually do result in bad fanfic coming about. (I've been a trope starter in other fandoms and watched my good idea inspire numerous good fanfics, some mediocre ones, and then a wave of true badness.)
The kind of stuff that's just a universal trope that is usually bad, such as "Alicorn OC" or "Random Brony Goes To Equestria"... that doesn't come in waves so much, it's just generally always there.
so this was a funny chapter. buuut... maybe a little easy.
I mean, you could criticise anything with a parody of that song and it would work....

Hey, I never promised not to go for low-hanging fruit. :-)
I may well do other Weird Al parodies just to have an excuse to have Cheese Sandwich singing. :-)
4272699
well don't let me stop you.
but maybe change the lyrics a little more next time.
4272729
I think the only lyric I actually kept was "Don't you make me repeat it"; all the others were changed. (Unlike "Spike The Magic Dragon" or "Luna the Lumberjack", both of which changed a lot less.) :-)
A good song parody, as opposed to simply taking the tune and writing a new song for it, does have extensive callbacks to the original, or it's not funny. For example, in the actual song "Beat It", there's a part where Michael Jackson sings "Oh lord". In "Eat It", Weird Al calls back to that by singing "Oh lard". I went and ponified the Michael Jackson original by having them sing "Oh Celestia" (which doesn't fit the rhythm, but actually that's kind of what makes it funny) instead of making a reference to the topic of the song.

okay, that dos make sens.
Pure comedy gold. More Cheese please
Yes! You do need to make more Cheese Sandwich parodies of Weird Al songs which are parodies of other songs.
I didn't laugh, but it made me smile. I still haven't read the rest. I know they're tiny... I'll get around to them.
Very funny so far. Love Robot Chicken and have always been hoping for a story like this.

RIP off Weird AI
When your right with devastation there's a simple explanation your a tournament's creation trapped inside a crystal ball and whichever way he tilts it we know we must stay resilient we won't let them break our spirits as we sing our silly song.
Isn't it great to be different, isn't it wonderful to be exactly who you are. Once you start accepting yourself, you'll become a shining sta-a-ar, carrot top, your among us, your a late star, come to fool us, your a late star, which will drive you, to the cosmos, and describe you...
obligatory guilty comment
You're a picky eater? But don't you know that other writers are starving in Japan?
I live on those.
More true than you know. Many stories are better than some episodes, yes, I mean Spike and Crystal Empire episodes.
Very true.
4500327 Yay, FiW! *sings* When you're rife with devastation/ There's a simple explanation/ You're a toymaker's creation/ Trapped iside a crystal ball/ And whichever way he tilts it/ Know that we must be resilient/ We won't let them break our spirits/ As we sing our silly song!
ok fine, i'll comment! lol
Thanks, i hate it.

When I was a little filly, a galloping blaze overtook my city, they shipped me off to the orphanage, said “Ditch those roots if you wanna fit in (I know that song by heart)
