You know, I'm vaguely reminded of that Simpsons episode where Lisa goes vegetarian and sends the pig flying through the air. Bart and Homer try catching it while Homer repeats ad nauseam that it's still good, even though the poor pig goes through some sad things before it's finally lost.
So, yeah. Simpsons did it first.

I love it, although I'm imagining an AU where Cadance 'accidentally' kicks Night Light in the face while he's trying to take the ring off her tail. "Whoops, looks like I lose, but I also broke your jaw. So you can't object to me marrying Shiny." :p
