Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
"Captain's Log, April 4th 2063, Commanding Officer Surprise reporting. The warp drive test was met with resounding success, and after several hours of flight at Warp factor 2 we have arrived in orbit of Alpha Centauri. The current director of NEIGHSA, Twilight Sparkle herself, has given us orders to use our new sensors to survey this system and those near it and report back to Earth in three standard weeks."
The Glorious Proclaimer wasn't as grand as the ship's name would suggest. In fact, it was actually rather cheesy looking, as if from some old turn of the century sci-fi like Wormhole Xtreme or Space Trek: Enterprise. But for Surprise, that didn't matter. It was her ship and she was damn proud of it, even it did look like a giant saucer with engines on the back and hangers and giant glowing tubes strapped to the sides.
But no amount of silliness could prepare for what came next.
"Captain, we're picking up a small but obviously artificial object in a very close orbit around the star. It's not of our probes, ma'am. I'm not even picking up a reactor signature."
Surprise blinked "Can we tell what it is?"
The unicorn-aspected science officer turned her attention back to the readout and blinked before replying in a dumbfounded tone of voice, "Ma'am, it appears to be... a small ceramic pot."
Surprise blinked, a look of, well, surprise, and confusion appearing on her face before stuttering, "Wha... Whuuuu.... What the fuck?"
For a brief moment, she could've sworn she heard a very familiar laugh.
According to Jenna, this particular Surprise is Pinkie Pie's granddaughter.
See here for something resembling an explanation.
Well, an explanation beyond "Damn it, Mr. Discord."

Nonsense. They'd be pony shaped in that case. Unless this is an AU of an AU, which it isn't.
Probably.
Someone's been playing Stellaris
In Discord's defence, he really, really was angry at that pot that day.
That poor pot...
I would've been more confused/alarmed if it'd been a teapot. Or more precisely, The Teapot.
The Playful Revenge counter is incremented.
7835910 Few know this, but the geocentric worldlet known as Equestria is actually contained within the interior of Russell's Teapot. Mostly as part of God's ongoing campaign of oblique and ironic vengeance against the legacy of that wayward philosopher. In the same way that His influence upon Russell and Whitehead caused them to spend decades upon their project of mooring all mathematics in logic, only to go smash upon Wittgenstein and Goedel, the Maker caused the Teapot to emerge from the quantum foam in the high orbitals the second before Russell coined the hypothetical. It is now categorized as object #654 in the orbital debris catalog, and has been mis-identified as a wayward soviet-era booster stage fuel pump in an unusually stable orbit.
Somewhere in purgatory, an angel is making old Bertrand watch little pastel ponies cavorting inside the n-dimensional pocket contained within the orbital teapot he hypothetically conjured to make mock of the divine.

cue giddy laughter.
7837544 I don't get it. What's Wormhole Xtreme supposed to be?
7865709
Stargate SG-1. Wormhole Xtreme was a deliberately campy show-within-a-show made as part of the govermental coverup of the Stargate.

It was glorious.
"We replaced all the actors with younger, edgier versions of themselves."
...
"I'm pregnant."
...
"Alright, you got me. I have no idea what that is from."
...
"What do you mean the lead quit on us? Well, just replace him with someone who looks and acts just like him. The audience won't care."
(As close to the actual lines as I can remember off the top of my head.)
There were just so many terribly amazing bits in episode 200. I've watched it at least 5 times.
I laughed a ton at the Stellaris reference, that was the last thing I was expecting... and given this collection that's saying something
Aha! A stellaris reference!
Commas need more spacing:

Bite your tongue! Enterprise 01, cheesy looking? Why I never!
It was easily more than 1^4* times more well styled than Kirk's original Enterprise.
*Reference to one of the most blatant mishandlings of math in the original Star Trek. Anyone who can pass high-school math should be able to spot the problem with that expression.

What was the TOS error?
11724402
Kirk has the ship's computer set to amplify sound by 1 to the fourth power. 1^4. This is mathspeak for '1 times itself four times.' 1*1*1*1=1
This can be found by simply looking up 'Star Trek 1 to the fourth power'. It occurred in the episode Court Martial.
