Transcript:
Phoebe: Go, Boyserberry Swirl, and open the gates of Glitter City! Marigold: Why are you giving orders? Phoebe: 'Cause I'm playing Princess Sunbeam. Marigold: In real unicorn government, "Princess" is strictly a ceremonial position. Marigold: The QUORUM of the POINTIEST makes most of the real decisions. Marigold: In bygone times, they were selected based on horn sharpness, but today it is a combination of voting, plus a freestyle dance contest. Phoebe: Also the gates are over on your side. Marigold: I shall open them.

Reminds me of the old SNL bit where they voted on Democratic primary candidates based on clothing choices. They used ZZ Topp’s “Sharp-dressed Man” as background music; the audience ended up giving the most votes to ZZ Topp.

Princess Sunbeam looks an awful lot like Princess Celestia. Cousins maybe?

“Horn sharpness and terpsichorean prowess are no basis for a system of government! Supreme executive power derives from a mandate from the masses, not from some farcical pseudo-equestrian ceremony!”
