Clearly Youtube CC gets the deeply hidden subtext of FiM's writing. I think most of these coincide eerily well with the discussion in the Ponitics thread.

Observation: Transcription operates on context, so one word will trigger later words likely to show up in that context. Miss that word and everything goes all to hell.

Hypothesis: A lot of its contextual clues come from text samples in Google News. I can't think of any other reason it'd be so intensely political.

Why is it stuck in the 90s though? I found I Bob Packwood reference in there I'd have liked to work in if it hadn't been contextually wonky.

Few more from the PensivePony upload (so the quality, she's-a nota so good):

Ponyville Peru

Fluttershy explaining the premise of the show.

and one from a better quality upload:

Apple Jack making up expressions.

Every time a political name comes up on the CC I laugh, even if it's not related to anything. Something about seeing ponies talk about Bush or Clinton or Palestine is hilarious in its own right.

Watching the Ticket Master, I have discovered that Twilight is actually evil.

It all started when demonic forces made her an offer she couldn't refuse.

Spike didn't approve at first, but Twilight's generosity ensured his loyalty.

It wasn't long before before she was impressing the other ponies into slavery...

...Though her methods were often cruel.

Some people tried to lecture her about such cruelty.

But it's better to be feared than loved.

Still, some people were courageous enough to stand up for freedom...

But Twilight's hired thugs dealt with them.

And when someone had the nerve to compare her rule to the Third Reich,

That was when the shotguns came out, with bounties on the heads of dissenters.

Twilight had a good view of her forces as they marched to Canterlot to depose the Princess.

And what was Twilight's motive for all this villainy?

Although technically I guess it's canon. Youtube CCs say so!

Rainbow Dash is having trouble at the weather factory

Twilight uses the magic of friendship to handle something not so happy and ponymagical:

The latter one actually seems appropriate in the context of wisdom from one of my oldest friends: "A friend will help you move. A good friend will help you move a body."

So I got some screencaps from the newest episode. Don't worry, none of these are spoilerish.

Rainbow Dash hates smug brats.

A few I found funny from the new episode:

Looks like Dash just checked her portfolio. Not a good time to invest.

He too caked on make-up and fluttered about in the air!

Yea. Don't eat that, bully pony.

New episode had some brilliant ones.

Dash has standards!

It's okay though, Fluttershy is here to offer some kind support to her friend.

Finally, some evidence that contextual translation really is the bestest thing. :v:

Fluttershy really does have the best idea when it comes to getting Rainbow's confidence up

The real reason Rarity wants to go to Canterlot and marry into royalty.

Also, OP said he didn't know how to print screen on a mac. Here: CMD+Shift+3 prints the whole screen. Even better, CMD+shift+4 turns your cursor into a crosshair, drag it across the screen to draw a box, and when you let go of the mouse button it'll "print screen" only the part of the screen that's in the box you've drawn. I prefer this to printing the whole screen.

Trixie is raising an army so she can charge for Gummy protection. Also she's good at tennis:

On an unrelated note: Spike, stop hitting on Twilight. It's just plain weird.
