After the current ruler of Tartarus steps down, Princess Celestia and Luna are tasked with finding the very best replacement possible.
Sadly, that's not exactly who shows up to apply.

This was pretty funny to say the least. I kinda want a follow up seeing it turn out Spike is GREAT at running the underword and and he comes back showing how he isn't the 'little guy' anymore. I could soooo see Rarity throwing herself at the new KING of the underworld lol. She would go goth for him SOOOO quick lol
There's too many scenes for me to comment on, so I'll just roll (most of) them into one:
Anyway, aren't the punishments too harsh for the crimes? Bah, what am I thinking? It's comedy, anything goes.
Fluttershy was cute.
OH MY FUCKING SPIKE! BEST FIC I'VE READ IN A WHILE! You just got another follower
So... does that mean that Cozy Glow is on the cheer squad?
More muffins had me dying.
"So we're going with 'least incompetent?'"
"That, and 'most likely to be bailed out by Twilight in a hurry.'"
9379453
hella yes
any chance at a "team tartarus," spike fic?
Nice callback.
And did someone say... Doom?
i.pinimg.com/736x/f6/0e/a1/f60ea15a6bd40e97024053ccc287356b.jpg
What the holy hell did I just read?
Very nice work.
9379909
Wouldn't that just be a pony version of The whole nine yards movie? (Or whatever it's called, all I know is that Adam Sandler did a remake of it)
LOVE.
SPIKE.
TIREK.
BEST.
THAT WAS GREAT.
Can I get a follow-up on that DJ story?
9380137
No. It was The Longest Yard, and a key plot point (at least the remake) was that the inmates were going up against the guards, as sort of an exhibition match as well as a way to boost said guards confidence. So, that would mean that to follow the movie, Spike would have a hoofball team of guards, and one of the inmates would lead the prisoners. In the case of this story's potential sequel, the inmates would be led by Spike and going up against the team. Although, I suppose one of the princesses could have their own person team formed as well...
9380174
Thanks for the title of the movie. One of those 'tip of the tongue' type deals.
But this has promise. Spike goes to jail and has to win his freedom (or just a phone call to his princess of choice) by assembling the greatest hoofball team ever to go against the warden (insert fan hated noble here) to set things straight.
Hijinks ensue.
Somebody get on it!
Not paying taxes? Tartarus is too good for them!
9380184
I'd say spoiled rich or prince blueblood for the fan hated noble, or maybe uppercrust.
... Bad Dude? Is that Cozy Glow’s natural superior I see?
So...is Cozy Glow gonna be the Mascot?
So, we ever gonna see that sequel with Vince Spikebardi lead his hoofball team to that equestrian superbowl or what?
Oh my god that is so funny because it could be taken both innocently and more maturely.
9380432 I'm far more evil.
I collect all the taxes. FOR MYSELF!! (Uhm... isn't that just normal government...) Sh-shut up!
9379453 Spike soaks up all the evil energy and evolves into Smaugizard.
Rarity finds his sleek, lethal appearance breathtaking.
1 year later, Discord is born and goes back in time, because time loops cause everything.
Is Rich Evans replacing the Wheel of the Worst?
It’s a torture device for the modern age!
Something doesn't make sense here. Y IZ Doom Slayer not a candidate?!!
static.comicvine.com/uploads/original/11123/111238279/5295415-1057531741-2671..jpg
Wait, did we almost get Discord to run Superjail?
What's your plan for that, Fluttershy? Some sort of hotel?
9381376
if doom guy was here im pretty sure tartarus will be nothing more but a gored puzzle of body parts all around the floor in about 5 minutes
Heheh.
So Spike seems to have the most viable plan.
A way to keep the denizens preoccupied with something that lets them get all of their aggression out of their systems.
Boy, Cozy Glow is either gonna have to step up her game or she'll be known as Pancake Wafer.
When I got to the end of the last candidate and realised who they were hiring, I broke down laughing, then started reading the last paragraph, I feel so sorry for Spike.
Iunno, that sounds like it could be a hecka frightening name if you do it right.
Good show
I wonder what position is going to have Cozy...
9380714
No. She's the ball.
9380714
9383400
I still say cheerleader.
9382006
Very economical, then.
9381789 I've actually seen "Superjail". That show was insane. In a good way.
9381080
9381041 Is Dick the Birthday Boy replacing naturalbornderpy?
9379922 I finally watched the episode your avatar comes from.
The animators were clearly unsupervised that day.
9379654 Originally, Celestia says, "We'll pick the one with the most princess connections." But that sort of gives it away. Yet it's true. If Spike was having problems, Twilight or one of her friends would be in there in a heartbeat. Or Shining. Or Sunburst. Or yadda yadda yadda.
Spike's popular, you know.
9379565 Cheerleader. Water filly. Towel filly. Motivational speaker. And... sometimes sabotages rival teams behind the scenes.
9379488 Thanks for the follow.
Glad you enjoyed it.
9379453 If anything, I could see something along the lines of "The Office" style continuation. Spike and Tartarus' guards/employees dealing with day to day things while running the biggest prison in Equestria.
So, if Spike was my Michael, who would be my Jim, Pam, and Dwight? Hmm.
*looks to the poppyseed muffins he bought for tomorrow's breakfast...then shrugs.*
Best punishment I ever inflicted upon myself. Good read!
9383786
Hmm that would be interesting for sure. Instead of making him be a bad ass, make it where it is more like the Office. Where he has to deal with all the craziness that goes around on his day to day operations. It would be funny, the girls come down there for a visit to see how he is doing thinking he is suffering under his new role and is brought to see his office and everything. We could see both old villains and new ones all down there working for Spike. Oh man think of Cozy being his assistant that works under Spike, who is always trying to manipulate power away or seduce him to take control but Spike just doesn't care and it always ends up somehow with her plans ending in failure lol. It would be funny if time also moves slower down there than up on the surface. While it may only seem like a week or a month up there it has been ALOT longer down there. SO it would be funny to see Spike in a suit or a dress shirt and a tie. It would also explain how he created a office and got the villains and monsters to work there. Hell it is better than being a cage lol. There are a ton of super fun and interesting places this could go.
9379453
I admit, this was not how I perceived a rendition of Persephone & Hades dynamic to take place.
Good luck with your new job Spike!
Oh my word. Naturalbornderpy, you make fantastic short comedies.
I loved Alicorn Power, Assassination Attempt, and all the Chrysalis stories, and this one had me laughing my head off at the end.
You, my dear author, are a natural.
I will gladly take the job
Hear-hear
Was it build by Rich Evans?
A pretty good comedy short! Have my like!
9384492 Thanks for the kind words.
I still think I'm pretty hit and miss, but I'm just glad to still be typing away after all this time. And the fact that people are still reading this stuff is pretty great, too! 
Been awhile since I've added a story to the best of the best, but this was so worth it.
This story made my night. I would love it if you made a follow up store on how spike makes it a great hoofball team does a decent job. Or not lol
When Fluttershy started talking about rehabilitation, all I could think of was this.
Tartarus is broken you say?

Oh and stick around for the Finals when my team goes up against the Heavenly Guardians, we're gonna crush em! My quarterback Chuthulu has one killer arm!
