It's a good thing that I listened to that song before I read the rest of your post. For once, my impulsive "Ooh, Youtube link!" reaction has actually helped out.

I had always thought that trollfics were distilling and amplifying all that made badfic bad for the "lulz". Yet, I suppose even archetypical trolls like Peter Chimera had to take notes from something on how to make readers' skin crawl.
Normally, this sort of revelation would fill me with a deep, primal horror, the sort of feeling you only get when you realize that what you just saw was even worse than the already world-wrecking awfulness that it had been the first time around. Now, it's not, for some reason. I'm chalking it up to either temporary mental numbness from shock or residual exposure to Pinkie Pie. Probably a lot of the latter with a sprinkling of the former.

What did your agents do the first time to get them saddled with this as their second-ever mission? I'm not saying reveal spoilers; that would be no fun. Can you give me a hint, though? Did it involve accidentally killing a canon? Did some planet get assimilated that ought not to have been? Did their Psych profiles show an unusual tolerance to horrible plot contrivance?
