Shop Talk

Shop Talk (G1.5 TV episode, July 31st 1992, 11 minutes)

 

Summary: Gossip turns sour when Lance and Ace overhear the girls, and taunt Teddy about a rumor.

 

That hairdryer... and the jukebox in the background, are actually 50's tech. I don't remember big hairdryers like that still around in the 90's.

 

Here's another one I think I'm going to have personal issues with. It's looking like an episode about gossip.

 

I like Sweetheart. She's nice.

 

Yeah... Lance and Ace are saps.

 

Heh. Yup. Dangerous.

 

Ghost of Sticky Wicket? That sounds like an actual story alluded to there.

 

Is that a video glitch or is Lance actually supposed to sparkle on occasion?

 

Oh, that's supposed to be glitter. Pity.

 

So... show for little girls, advocating blackmail as a valid and moral SOP? Not at all what I was expecting.

Here I am as promised.  Better late than never.  :)

 

To be honest, Shop Talk suffers from a terrible moral and mediocre writing.  But it’s the non-stop laughs that makes this, IMHO, the best episode of the Tales series. :) Here are just some of the more memorable ones. 

 

-The song near the beginning. 

-Sweet Heart’s reaction when Patch unwittingly uncovers Teddy's secret

-THAT FACE LANCE MAKES!!!

-The Teddy has a Teddy Bear chant!

-The way Teddy and Sweet Heart try so hard to be just friends. 

-"I’m so mad I could just kick something!"  In one fell swoop, Teddy pays tribute to both Fluttershy and AJ.  Best of all, he does it almost two decades before the debut of FiM!  :lol: 

-Ace and Lance getting bamboozled into dressing up as babies.

-"Eew, baby food’ll kill ya!"

 

And you might like the lengthy comments Batbrony made when I posted Shop Talk in the Masterthread, heh.

@@Wingnut, I am fully convinced that Sweetheart is best G1.5 pony. I'm a little ahead of my postings, as I've got rehearsals going on now for a performance at the end of the month so I have to do a buffer if I'm going to keep my one-a-day schedule. I'm past 'Bon Bon's Diary', which cements Sweetheart as top pony. Behind that innocence is a cruel sense of humor. smile.png
