The Mentally Advanced Series
1. Description
**My Little Pony: The Mentally Advanced Series**, also variously titled **My Little Pony: The (Abridged) Mentally Advanced Series** and **My Little Pony: The (abridged) Mentally Advanced Series**, is a series of videos that recontextualize episodes from the [original show](http://mlpfanart.wikia.com/wiki/My_Little_Pony_Friendship_is_Magic) by re-editing and re-dubbing them. The general storylines are often kept somewhat intact, but the characters' personalities are drastically reinterpreted. Most of the voices are performed by the series' writer, [FiMFlamFilosophy](http://mlpfanart.wikia.com/wiki/FiMFlamFilosophy), who also performs these duties for [Rainbow Dash Presents](http://mlpfanart.wikia.com/wiki/Rainbow_Dash_Presents). The series' genesis was a result of creative differences with the team of another planned abridged series; FiMFlamFilosophy left and created his own videos from scratch.

Every episode, except for episodes 10 and 13, opens with a title card depicting an apparently lobotomized Pinkie Pie, accompanied by a voice-over in which Pinkie sings an abridged version of the [theme song](http://mlp.wikia.com/wiki/My_Little_Pony_theme_song).
Episode 10 introduced a new abriged version of the theme song that plays with the title sequence. After it is done, a title card appears showing a crying Fluttershy holding a lobotomized Pinkie's head.
After over a year of delays, FiMFlamFilosophy decided to skip over the unfinished eleventh episode and start work on the next one instead; barely two weeks after the announcement, episode 12 was released.
Beginning with Episode 14, episodes use still images from the episodes they're based on rather than conventional animated footage, making them similar in tone to FiMFlamFilosophy's other produced work Rainbow Dash Presents and also allowing for faster episode production.
