Best Episode Title

[Glike 487]

What is/are your favorite episode title(s) of the show? Whether because it's clever, rolls off the tongue, makes you chuckle, or whatever, I'm interested in hearing some of your favorites.

 

For me, one of my favorites that comes instantly to mind is "Filli Vanilli." I knew it was probably a reference, but I just didn't get it for another couple of years. I knew it was probably a reference to a singer or band, but I didn't think much more into it.

 

Turns out it was based on the duo Milli Vanilli, two famous singers who were revealed to be frauds when they were caught lip-syncing onstage when their song started skipping. And, if you know the plot of the episode, then the reference makes a lot more sense.

 

Plus I love puns. 

 

How about you guys?

Filli Vanilli

 

Yes! Absolutely. This is something that I've often thought about, and both Filli Vanilli and "Magical mystery cure" come to mind

 

MMT because it's a reference to one of the Beatles albums, which also happens to be the same name as one of the tours in my home town

Bats! from Season 4 because I keep imagining a swarm of bats and Batman in a cave every time I think about that episode.

[Rawzy 1,302]

"Do Princesses Dream Of Magic Sheep?" Just because it would be hilarious if you didn't know that it came from the title of a mlp episode.

Slice of life. What's a better way to celebrate your 100th episode with a title that's so vague and ironically what made FiM.

[Radiance64 7,051]

Bridle Gossip, dat pun is just too good

[Bojo 1,171]

"The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows" is a hilarious episode title in my opinion. But if we're talking about the BEST one, I'd pick "Keep Calm and Flutter On".

"Magical Mystery Cure"

As this deals with the show it has been moved to Show Discussion.

 

Thanks.

For Whom The Sweetie Belle Tolls is still one of my favourite episode titles ever.

[Sidral Mundet 1,666]

Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep? because it references this:

Other title I like are Keep Calm and Flutter On, Sonic Rainboom, The Cutie Mark Chronicles, Lesson Zero, and Hearthbreakers.

[Wind Chaser 4,767]

"Over a Barrel" and "A Dog and Pony Show" for their use of common phrases with no puns or other such sorcery. The best pun is "Secret of My Excess". The best pop-culture references have to be "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep?", "For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils", and "Somepony to Watch Over Me".

We've still been waiting six years for an episode called "One Trick Pony." Get on it, writers!

i like that "dog and pony show" works on multiple levels without even being a pun.  

[Dynamo Pad 10,784]

My favorite episode titles for MLP are:

 

- The One Where Pinkie Pie Knows

- Slice of Life

- Filli Vanilli

- Crusaders of the Lost Mark

- Gauntlet of Fire

- Tanks for the Memories

- Testing, Testing 1, 2, 3

- It's About Time

I really like Amending Fences because I didn't know what it meant until after watching the episode. Now when I hear phrases like "make amends" or "mending fences", I think about MLP.

My pick is definitely "Filli Vanilli" (and it seems I'm not alone). Such a great pun, and it fits the story of the episode perfectly.
