"Slice of Life" is the ninth episode of the fifth season of the animated television series My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic as well as the 100th episode of the series overall, which was celebrated as a milestone episode by Hasbro and its affiliates.[1][2][3][4] It was directed by Jim Miller, written by M.A. Larson and produced by Devon Cody. The episode aired on June 13, 2015 on Discovery Family.
In the episode, Ponyville's citizens rush to prepare for a wedding between donkey couple Cranky Doodle and Matilda while the "Mane Six" ponies and intended wedding organizers—Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rainbow Dash and Rarity—are busy defending the town against a monster attack. The episode heavily features background and minor characters popularized by the show's adult fanbase, and was created to pay tribute to the fandom, whom Hasbro and the show's crew credited for the series' success.
