cider float 2,538 July 1, 2015 Share July 1, 2015 How come Pinkie Pie is always around at the brink of war? I see she was the cause of the war between the buffalo and Appaloosa but she prevented the one between Yaks and Ponyville. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casbyness 48 July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 (edited) I'm getting a vibe from this episode. It's saying "These Yaks are the fanbase, lol".

Cirrus. 1,090 July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 This episode was simply I also like how the writers seemed to be poking a little fun at [part of] the fandom. 2 Rainbow Rocks... at least how it could've looked... in a stranger, more interesting dimension For those who are wondering, Twilight is chewing bubble gum.

Imperator Knoedel 58 July 3, 2015 Share July 3, 2015 Apparently some people think of the yaks as one dimensional and didn't like this episode. To adress this let me quote myself from fimfiction: "Ponies invite Yaks to castle with promise of friendship. Ponies claim to serve Yak food, but they lie. Ponies claim to provide Yak hay, but they lie. Ponies claim to present cuteness of Yak animals, but they lie. Ponies claim to give Yak fabric, but they lie. Ponies claim to have Yak snow, but they lie. Ponies ruin traditional Yak cuisine with their clumsy use of vanilla extract. Ponies claim to have dragon play beautiful music, but they lie. Ponies claim to host party, but they lie and stall for hours. Princess tries to keep Yaks longer with even more lies, but Yaks have enough. After coming to Equestria Yaks have only been insulted and lied to. Yaks no like being taken for fools. Yaks no like liars." Try showing a little more cultural sensitivity next time maybe. I absolutely loved this episode in its entirety, and the Yaks' behavior is easily explained by cultural differences and misunderstandings based on different languages. My hunch is everything would have been smooth if the ponies had just showed them how great Equestria is from the beginning instead of claiming to have stuff "just like you yaks", thus making the yaks think of them as liars and/or being condescending ("Ha, see this disgusting stuff we present to you, this is how we think things are in Yakyakistan!"). 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlinkZ 1,151 July 3, 2015 Share July 3, 2015 Wow...the Yak's are jerks about the smallest things. No wonder it's been so long since they visited Equestria. Still looking forward to this episode. Pinkie has been in top form all season. Hey it just like us bronies...zing!! no serously we freka out over the littilst details I didn't like this episode very much; I thought it was kinda boring actually. The yaks were annoying, Twilight seemed out of character for her season 5 self, and... I saw the ending coming from a mile away I'd disagree wit hteh out of character part. Twilight is one to over think and reallydoens't like when things aren't in her control, I mean just take her corination into account her and her freakout swifted foilded by the ceiling. Her having a pnaci attack is pretty much her in any season really. Zubric(fimfiction) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grepper 3,192 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Even though I thought the Yaks' overreaction to imperfection was ridiculous, I still think this was a good episode. We found that Pinkie has a secret room under the bakery that not even the Cakes know about(!). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unr3alGamer 230 July 6, 2015 Share July 6, 2015 Wonky pacing and a somewhat cliché plot (X can't be impressed with anything, Y must do everything to make them impressed) is made up for with entertaining Pinkie moments. I am so happy Pinkie is being written well this season unlike the last season. 8/10 Grade: B 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fawkes The Phoenix 737 July 12, 2015 Share July 12, 2015 (edited) Finally got to watch it! This episode is so freaking random Only Pinkie Pie can make such nonsense enjoyable. This is the funniest episode of the show, in fact, this is the only episode that I consider amazing just for the humor, ignoring the plot, which wasn't bad, but nothing amazing. Anyway, Pinkie's characterization was amazing as it has been in this season. I also loved the secret party base. Congratulations to the writers for making my cheeks hurt. 9/10 Edit: I changed it to 9/10 after watching the episode again. Still amazing though.

Justin_Case001 4,896 July 20, 2015 Share July 20, 2015 You know, I was kind of hoping this episode was going to be about Pinkie being partied out like Slurms McKenzie. I kinda think it would have been better that way. I guess they sort of did that in Too Many Pinkie Pies, but that's wasn't really the same thing. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikola Xerdav 88 July 28, 2015 Share July 28, 2015 (edited) ~sigh~ well, time to be the black sheep... i am apparently of very few people who hated this episode, and in response to those saying this episode "was better than last weeks", implying this was better than Princess Spike, ha... you're entitled to your own opinion, but i thought that episode was just fine, but this, this.. Party Pooped episode.. i'm about to nit pick it to Tartarus! firstly, let it be known that Pinkie Pie is one of my favorite characters, and while sometimes she isn't always depicted well, i really love all her centered episodes, including even Pinkie Keen, and i know that episode had been shitted on by other analysts, but no, not me, i liked Pinkie Keen, but this.. Party Pooped, felt like an utter disappointment. :okiedokielokie: where should i begin?... while i thought i was used to one dimensional antagonists by now, i felt like the Yaks were given too much screen time just so we could see them shit on everyone's efforts to please them, and they were the first to declare war? i would have declared war on them for wrecking the castle in their first tantrum! why was their horrible behavior condoned? love and tolerance is one thing, but they were supposed to be politicians and representatives of their homeland, and they were completely brutish and uncivilized, why would Equestria want to be allies with such barbarians? the yak's aside, which believe or not, wasn't the thing that killed the episode for me, but i was hoping that an epic journey and resolution would change my feelings for this episode, and i was just about to start being open to enjoy the episode, but a bunch of nitpicks one by one punched me in the face. now firstly, considering the contrived callback of Lesson Zero, it didn't quite look natural to have those facial expressions, but i understood why it was implemented considering all things, so i was give and take with that, kinda liking the neurotic element, but i just wish it felt less forced. but the things that really started to irk me was when map location of Appleloosa was implied to be north of Ponyville, despite where it actually is and how you're supposed to travel north... now how could Pinkie be going north if she went south to Appleloosa? then the pacing dramatically changed in the last third of the episode, this also messed with me... from memory, i recall Pinkie about to go off a cliff, the Wonderbolts conveniently saved her, then the next thing i remember is her walking with Cadence to the borders leading to Yakyakistan, but not before we get a Family Guy cutaway gag stating how more or less Pinkie was Ringo in The Beatles for many years... now, i'm not a Beatles fan, but that's not why that gag bothered me. i'm all for Pinkie being random and silly, but i was built up for war, and while some cute and fun things are fine, half of everything that occurred sort of felt like a slap to my face. map locations, pacing, and now chronological issues... ~sigh~ because how could Pinkie be in a band for several years, within the span of a day? i'm only really mentioning things that bothered me, if i haven't mentioned something yet, that means i either liked it or was okay with it, so since i've been nothing but nitpicking, i will take a step back before finishing up my criticisms... i liked the monologuing and the visit to Appleloosa was nice (though made no sense in context of the story), and though it felt very anti-climatic to have Pinkie go spend 35% of the episode's screen time traveling north, to merely slide all the way back to Ponyville within, what? 5 seconds? (i sense an episode production issue here).. that didn't bother me that much, considering i knew the episode was running out of time anyway. while i appreciated the character building and details of Pinkie being someone who is silly, yet serious when it comes to her friends and making them happy, especially documenting party stuff.. i just have to say no to Twilight's fear of quesadillas. i'll be honest, i smiled a couple times in this episode, but i did not find the humor funny.. this episode was half a step funnier than Appleloosa's Most Wanted (was that episode supposed to be funny?). so great, Twilight has an unexplained phobia of cheese? if this was at least elaborated and not played as a cheap and stupid gag by itself, i might not have counted this against the episode. and now to end a bad episode with an even worse or non-existent moral... these over-critical war mongering Yak's become happy and peaceful when you don't try to emulate them? i mean, i know Japanese people don't like weeaboos, but they don't smash stuff and bomb Pearl Harbor everytime a weeaboo comes up to them like "me is Japanese person just like you, me watch the Naruto and i have chopsticks with my initials on them, goman nasai, ohayo gozaimasu!" now granted, we all know FilthyFrank would probably punch that person, but most Japanese people, especially politicians would just be polite. so this episode tells us that all Yak politicians are over-sensitive pricks, and we dare not insult them by emulating the things they like otherwise they will go to war against us, but the whole thing that will make them like us is by throwing a party that is default to a typical Pinkie Pie party? what is the lesson? be yourself? don't emulate other people styles otherwise they have permission to wreck your stuff and go to war on you? seriously, wtf? now i can see why most people can like this episode, or at least be okay with it, those people don't take MLP very seriously, at least not PP episodes. but as much as i like satire of war, i don't feel like this was satire of war. this was a drama episode that turned into awkward slapstick comedy, and i hated it. and while i claimed to hate episodes like Magical Mystery Cure for reasons like too many songs and halfassed plot, and Tanks For The Memories for merely two reasons which i am passionate about, but no, Party Pooped takes the cake for my top 10 Worst list. and this is just my opinion, the humor didn't resonate with me, and without finding enough to laugh or smile about, i felt like as a PP episode, it failed me. it could have been a good drama episode, but that failed me too. i didn't like the drama plot's progression, and this level of slapstick humor failed to entertain me, which is why i hated this episode. there wasn't enough redeemable things in this episode to make me like it. the slide gag was amusing at least, but what else can i say? the setup of the plot was questionable and borderline annoying, the journey became slapstick and convoluted, the resolution felt cheap and too easy, how could i possibly enjoy this episode? it's depressing too, i didn't want to be the black sheep, i didn't want to be the only brony to hate this episode, but i guess that's how life goes, we all have our own tastes, and our own perspective of what makes a good episode, and this episode just rubbed me the wrong way in so many ways. i'm sorry.

Hell I didn't even bothered to finish the Episode cause after that "Twilight is afraid quesadillas"-Joke I knew that there was no Way the Episode could redeem itself ~hugs~ i am happy i am not alone like seriously, i want to blame the new writer for this, even Dave Polski could have made a better episode, i mean, even though AMW was kinda... meh... i could still rewatch AMW without sighing in headaches. and i mean, i think almost every writer has made at least one episode that was my least favorite, like Cindy Morrow's Tanks For The Memories (which has many redeeming qualities, i have 2 personal nitpicks for being very upset with it) M.A. Larson's Magical Mystery Cure (was he even trying? i have a list too long of nitpicks to get into right now, but seriously, it was a Larson episode, wtf happened here?!) Meghan McCarthy's A Canterlot Wedding (it was fun and had it's moments, but the overall plot is based on paradoxes that felt unwittingly sloppy) Scott Sonneborn's Somepony To Watch Over Me (i already am not an Applejack fan, but this really took the cake, and while the chimera was a cool element, i felt a bit annoyed on behalf of Apple Bloom, and the moral felt a bit too easily resolved) Dave Polski's Appleloosa's Most Wanted (okay, this wasn't a bad episode, but it is he weakest and least funny episode, the moral was kind of poorly represented, though i took a good moral from it, but it wasn't the "obvious" moral presented, i can explain another time if you care) and while i did not have any explicit issues with Mysterious Mare Do Well, and Putting Your Hoof Down, i know those are popular episodes that people hate, so i can out those in mention for Merriwether William's sour episodes, but i personally like them more than i am actually bothered by their flaws, and i will acknowledge that yes, they were flawed, but i guess i found them entertaining, even if their moral premises were a tad bit off, and kind of stretched character limits. then i guess if i was trying hard to pick out one more for a top 10 list, i would say It Ain't Easy Being Breezies, by Natasha Levinger, and i feel bad for putting that one up on the block, because it wasn't a bad episode, and it had a clear moral that played to progressing Fluttershy's character, but it was... well... boring as Hell... otherwise, it was a solid episode, but only because it felt so mild and slow, like, more so than the average episode, it didn't really entertain me i hate to admit, otherwise Natasha is a good writer, and i like her other episodes. speaking about boring, Amy Keating Rogers, who is obviously one of the most prominent and best writers on the show, actually only had one episode i was kinda lack luster with, Testing Testing 1 2 3. aside from key moments, that was kinda a boring episode, and plus it's a punch to Lauren Faust's face, since Faust always hoped one day Firefly could be Rainbow Dash's mom or something, but Amy jumped the gun and used Firefly's name as the pony who formed the Wonderbolts a long time ago, diminishing the possibility of making that character name as RD's mother, shame on you Amy, you worked with Faust! you knew better! but oh, i know i didn't mention Filli Vanilli, i bet you wanted me to say that i hated Filli Vanilli, like 70% of every damn analyst out there does, and while yes, Amy sort of wrote Pinkie as an unwittingly insensitive bitch to Fluttershy, i felt like this episode was very entertaining, as well as relatable, because i have crippling stagefright and social anxieties myself, so this episode resonated with me so perfectly. other than the episodes mentioned, i actually don't really have enough episodes to make a top 10 worst list, i mean, i could try, but even episodes that have clear problems don't always bother me, even Canterlot Wedding was like "yeah, i know the writing was terrible, but this was fun!" the only writers that i have not found a "bad" or "meh" episode yet, were Chris Savino (though in Boast Busters, i wanted to punch Snips and Snails), Josh Haber (i love all his episodes, though he only did like 4, hehe), Charlotte Fullerton (though, actually, Baby Cakes was borderline meh for me, but otherwise overall decent), Ed Valentine (technically Meghan helped write Three's A Crowd or something, but oh well, i still think he is good, which he and Chris Savino deserve to get more episodes to do someday i hope) and Corey Powell (i take pride in knowing i am the only person who liked Rainbow Falls). there are other writer's, but they either only did one episode so far or i just didn't care enough to mention them but i digress.. i wonder how Party Pooped could have turned out if done by a different writer.
