## Overview

**Cheese Sandwich** is a male Earth pony and the self-titled "super duper party pony" who first appears in the season four episode Pinkie Pride.

## Appearance

Cheese Sandwich shares his body type and eye color with Mudbriar and his body type with "Turner McColt", Mules Grassfield", Dandy Grandeur, "Snow Hope", S08E19 Unnamed Earth Stallion #1, and BGE Unnamed Earth Stallion #2.

## Personality

When initially introduced, Cheese Sandwich has a rather serious demeanor, dressing in a cowboy hat and poncho. At first, his comedic side is only hinted by a rubber chicken wearing a bowler hat, which he carries on a saddle and calls Boneless. He speaks in a rather serious tone reminiscent of Clint Eastwood and other spaghetti western heroes.

Later, he reveals his true excitable personality. He also shares many traits with Pinkie Pie: he enjoys acting out and turning a party into a grand performance. He loves to sing and can play the accordion, and he possesses a "Cheesy Sense" that, similar to Pinkie's Pinkie Sense, lets him know when parties are in the middle of being planned.

Toward the end of his debut episode, Cheese Sandwich is shown to hold Pinkie Pie in high regard, wanting to impress her with his skills as a party planner because of the impact she had on his life.

His cutie mark mirrors his love for cheese and accordions, which he frequently uses for his parties.

As shown in The Last Laugh, Cheese Sandwich loses his ability to laugh if he is unable to see himself spread joy to others.

## History

Cheese Sandwich was born in the city of Manehatten. As he was growing up he had no friends due to his shyness, so in the year 845 he left his home, and enterted Ponyville where he saw a huge party that had been thrown by Pinkie Pie. Seeing how much fun the other ponies where having, Cheese Sandwich decieded to become a party pony as well. Traveling all across Equestria he became a well known figure in the lands.

## Story

### Twilight's Kingdom arc

Cheese Sandwich makes his debut as the featured guest character in Pinkie Pride. He is first shown on the outskirts of Appleloosa, having just thrown a party for the ponies and buffalo. As he leaves, his Cheesy Sense points him in the direction of Ponyville.

When Cheese appears before Pinkie Pie and her friends, he introduces himself as the premiere party planner in all of Equestria. As his introductory song begins, he takes on a more excitable off-the-wall persona, playing the accordion and singing that he had wanted to be a party planner since he was a colt. At this point, he takes the reins of Pinkie Pie's party plans for Rainbow Dash and puts together a large birthday bash.

Later, when Pinkie feels her position as premiere party pony is threatened and challenges Cheese Sandwich to a goof off, Cheese accepts. During The Goof Off, Cheese displays an even greater inclination for bizarre behavior, singing a polka version of Pinkie's Smile Song and having his own, much larger party cannon. Pinkie Pie, realizing that Rainbow Dash isn't having fun, concedes the goof off to Cheese.

Cheese Sandwich later approaches Pinkie and tells her he never meant to take her place in Ponyville. He confesses that he was actually extremely shy as a colt, and he didn't realize his dream until he left his home and stumbled into Ponyville during a party thrown by the filly Pinkie Pie, which led to him earning his cutie mark. Having reached an understanding, Cheese Sandwich and Pinkie Pie team up to make Rainbow Dash's birthday party memorable.

Before he leaves Ponyville, Cheese gives his rubber chicken, Boneless, which he originally acquired in Ponyville at Pinkie's party, to Pinkie Pie and sets out with a second rubber chicken, Boneless Two.

During Equestria Games, Cheese is barely seen in the audience as Spike attempts to light the torch.

Cheese is mentioned in Southwestward and makes a cameo in Scream

### Struggle for Ponyville arc

In The Last Laugh, Cheese Sandwich invites Pinkie Pie to visit the Amusement Factory he opened. Once Pinkie arrives, Cheese reveals that he lost his ability to laugh some time after opening the factory and needs her help to recover it. Despite Pinkie's best efforts, she is unable to make Cheese laugh, and he sadly admits defeat. However, Pinkie realizes that Cheese actually needs to make others laugh, and after Cheese inadvertently causes some of his factory workers to laugh, he rediscovers the joy of bringing laughter to ponies directly instead of through a factory. After making his straight-faced vice-president Sans Smirk laugh, Cheese decides to return to his former life as a traveling party pony, leaving the factory in Sans' hooves.

Cheese later returns to ponyville to help the Survey Corps battle the Legion of Doom
