This comic post is dedicated to all things Derpy Hooves, because she is awesome, and ours. What other fandom has their very own mascot that actually shows up in the cartoon it revolves around? This pony is glorious.
I can't take either one as the Derpy in my headcanon, but they're both entertaining, well-done comics. I think Equestria Prevails might love Derpy even more than I do. (Apparently the first comic references The Thirteenth Floor and the second one Memento; I say "apparently" because I've seen neither movie, so I'm going by what I've read in the dA comments.)
The first shows what lies beyond the fourth wall. I personally thought that Pinkie Pie would have been the one to break it, but of course the lovable Ditzy/Derpy was!
The first one is referencing "The Thirteenth Floor" (1999). Came out about the same time The Matrix did, with a similar theme, so I'm not surprised if y'all don't remember it.
I love the Memento reference and can totally imagine Derpy having that sort of condition. Back in college, I wrote an 8-page paper on Memento and how it relates to the concept of individual identity. It's a fantastic movie and you should all go watch it.
These comic are pretty good, even though I haven't seen the movies they are referencing to. And I love how Derpy is getting more upfront screen time now in season 2. Especially in today's episode when she pulled the plug on the apple tub. I laughed, then d'awwed, then laughed again. The paper bag costume was awesome.
I saw Momento a few times for a film class. It just confused the heck out of me. I eventually got what was happening in the film. Still didn't make me like it any more than I did.
Tattooed on Ditzy's right foreleg are the words, "The frige is full. ALWAYS."

Derpy comics!
VastaKustutaFirst?
VastaKustutaDamn...
VastaKustuta^lol
VastaKustutaSorta mindf*** on that first one.
VastaKustutaThat first comic really scared the ponydom outta me
VastaKustutaDerpy Hooves is our link to Equestria. She's the mail mare that keeps us in touch with those who create this awesome show.
VastaKustutaI think we need a "Michael PS3 comercial version" of Derpy.
#2: I...what.

VastaKustutaIt says on the Deviant Art page that the second comic is a refrence to the movie Memento.
VastaKustuta#1 No Derpy, don't fly behind the fourth wall!
VastaKustuta#2 Didn't quite get this one, I'm sure it's referencing something though I can't place what.

VastaKustuta@James Corck
VastaKustutaA what version now? Is this a video game reference of some sort?
That first one was... odd, but good.
VastaKustuta#2 was sort of funny, though I'm not familiar with the reference.
The second...
VastaKustutaMemento reference? Smart.
The first shows what lies beyond the fourth wall. I personally thought that Pinkie Pie would have been the one to break it, but of course the lovable Ditzy/Derpy was!
VastaKustuta1. Now that Derpy knows what lies beyond the borders of Equestria she will never be the same.
VastaKustuta2. Great Memento reference
Everyone loves teh Derpy.
VastaKustuta#1 Oh, Tron. I didn't know what it was referencing honestly. lol Didn't have enough time to finish the rest of the landscape. ;)
#2 I don't quite get the reference in this one either myself... but it's from herself. lol And aww, Carrot Top is lying? But she seems so nice. :(
Derpy. <3 Love the Memento reference!
VastaKustutaThese are great, especially number two! Memento's one of my favorite movies!
VastaKustutaDear god, why are so many people missing out on the second one?
VastaKustutaIt's a reference to the movie Memento, and all of you who don't get it really, really need to watch that movie!
The first one is referencing "The Thirteenth Floor" (1999). Came out about the same time The Matrix did, with a similar theme, so I'm not surprised if y'all don't remember it.
VastaKustutaI LOOOOVE Derpy Hooves!!!
VastaKustutaDoctor who? Tron? Man I don't think I could BE further from the truth.
VastaKustutaI love Ditzy so muchm both of these comics just make me smile and LMHO
VastaKustutaAwesome memento reference. I love derpy!
VastaKustuta# 2 is a reference to the movie Momento. Dude has really bad amnesia, so he leaves himself messages via polaroids.
VastaKustuta#1: My God, it's full of lines!
VastaKustutaI love the Memento reference and can totally imagine Derpy having that sort of condition. Back in college, I wrote an 8-page paper on Memento and how it relates to the concept of individual identity. It's a fantastic movie and you should all go watch it.
VastaKustutaAh, Memento, what a mind-screw that movie was!
VastaKustutaKinda ironic that in that blog where one of the developers of Uncharted 3 talked about MLP, he mentioned Memento as well...
It probably means nothing, but I thought I'd bring it up! XDD
Carrot Top will tell you that there are no muffins in the fridge but there are, Derpy. There. Are.
VastaKustuta#1 So... guess she went off the Grid, huh? She seems pretty happy about it...
VastaKustuta#2 Derpy's reminding herself... how adorable. What's she got against Carrot Top? Is there a fanfic reference I'm missing here?
These comic are pretty good, even though I haven't seen the movies they are referencing to.
VastaKustutaAnd I love how Derpy is getting more upfront screen time now in season 2. Especially in today's episode when she pulled the plug on the apple tub. I laughed, then d'awwed, then laughed again. The paper bag costume was awesome.
@Arothyss
VastaKustutaNot a fanfic reference, a movie reference, Memento.
@Arothyss
VastaKustutaNot a fanfic reference, a movie reference, Memento.
Ah, 13th Floor. Your only mistake was releasing so close to The Matrix.
VastaKustutaThe 2nd one. lol.
VastaKustuta@Celestia
VastaKustutaThe 2nd one is probably a reference to movie which involves time-travelling.
#1 And that's how Derpy discovered the Far Lands.
VastaKustutaboth of these are just so perfect
VastaKustutaI saw Momento a few times for a film class. It just confused the heck out of me. I eventually got what was happening in the film. Still didn't make me like it any more than I did.
VastaKustutaTattooed on Ditzy's right foreleg are the words, "The frige is full. ALWAYS."
#1 It would seem Equestria's very low-poly.
VastaKustutaYay Derpy, we love you so much cause you're best pony.
VastaKustuta1.OH MY CELESTIA DITZY IS GOING TO TRON
VastaKustuta2.what? What? WHAT?
#2, there's whole bunch more of that in Ponibooru. Pretty good for meme-ish Stuff
VastaKustutaOh, hahaha! "Memento" and "The 13th Floor", that was awesome... =D
VastaKustutaAt the end of #1, I was thinking of Jean Micheal's Oxygene, especially Track No 104
VastaKustutafunnily enough, i read the last comic first, i think...i cant remember, you see i have this condition, i've already told you havent i?
VastaKustutaDerpy is just too fast for the animators.
VastaKustuta& Memento was sweet.
Poor Carrot Top getting the short end of the stick.
VastaKustutaLOL
VastaKustutaBravo.
@jodyjm13
VastaKustutaYes, they are Memento and 13th floor references. I've seen both movies.
