About

Sweetie Bot is the name of a fan parody of the My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic character Sweetie Belle, originating from the Friendship is Witchcraft abridged series. She is notable for being the most popular character in the series, spawning a large amount of fan tributes.

Origin

In the original Friendship is Witchcraft abridged parody series, the first episode of which was released in June 2011, she is voiced by Griffin Lewis using a voice modifier.^[1] Despite her obviously robotic voice, none of the characters in the series are aware that she is a robot, herself included. As a result, some running jokes include the fact that she thinks out loud in subroutines and computer commands, and that water makes her "feel funny".^[2]
