TheAnimatorOfficial 567 May 13, 2016 Share May 13, 2016 Does it seem to you that this show is REALLY good at naming episodes, especially compared to other cartoons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeric 46,890 May 13, 2016 Share May 13, 2016 Last year they had a Philip K. Dick story reference, and this year a John Green novel reference. Yeah I definitely agree that they can be fairly creative. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scootalove 10,692 May 13, 2016 Share May 13, 2016 Last season and this season did stem from a lot of references to media and novels, I commend the team who comes up with these titles. Credit: Moony © Forum FAQ Forum Rules Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flutterstep 47,340 May 13, 2016 Share May 13, 2016 Tanks for the Memories has always stuck in my head. Such a simple but powerful title. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,965 May 13, 2016 Share May 13, 2016 While I wouldn't necessarily say that the episodes titles are the best ones form every show that I have ever watched, I do admit that there has been many great ones that I have really enjoyed. Such as Magical Mystery Cure, Gauntlet of Fire, Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep, Flight to the Finish, Filli Vanilli, Hearthbreakers and Luna Eclipsed.

Wind Chaser 4,769 May 14, 2016 Share May 14, 2016 It really depends. Some of them can be really great cultural references like the ones mentioned, and others can be great takes on common phrases like "Over a Barrel" or "A Dog and Pony Show". However, some of them are just terrible, too punny, or could be better. It's become a sort of mixed bag lately, especially with terrible, non-descriptive two-parter names like "The Cutie Map", "The Cutie Re-Mark", and "The Crystalling" (though the latter is mainly from a pun in the episode itself).

4HFan 476 May 14, 2016 Share May 14, 2016 Tanks for the Memories has always stuck in my head. Such a simple but powerful title. Actually, that made me think of the title of a FallOutBoy song: thnks fr th mmrs 1 I've been gone from this world for what seems like millennia, Looking for nothing short of a miracle, I only ever wanted to come home, Please won't you let me go? When I have nowhere left I can run away, Will you lie to me, tell me I'll be okay? Close my eyes and lay me in my tomb. Then pull the trigger and send me home. - Crown The Empire - Millenia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuteycindyhoney 13,341 May 14, 2016 Share May 14, 2016 "Do Princesses Dream of Magic Sheep" should win a daytime Emmy for best parody or pun episode title. (They should really have that!) 1 Thank you Sparklefan1234!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alphys Hedge 671 May 14, 2016 Share May 14, 2016 They're pretty good, but not the absolute best I've ever seen. Character in profile picture is Pearl from Steven Universe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rarity Is Best Pony 636 May 14, 2016 Share May 14, 2016 I have to say they are some of the more creative when it comes to episode titles. I especially like their usage of puns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyoshi Frost Wolf 42,205 May 14, 2016 Share May 14, 2016 I do love how quite a few titles have been references to things that much younger viewers would have nearly zero chance of knowing. Goes to show that this show is quite different, but this is just one piece of proof among many. I mean, we aren't getting titles like 'Pwetty Pwincess Pickles Gets Picked On" or anything like that, so that alone makes them good in my book. Redeem me into childhood.

Roughshod 721 May 14, 2016 Share May 14, 2016 Compared to what? I remember in the earlier seasons(and still in the two part adventure arcs) that the titles were more expository and lately they've become much more pun related for better or worse as the case may be. This season hasn't impressed me all that much. 'No Second Prances'? 'Flutter Brutter'? Try again people. I do love how quite a few titles have been references to things that much younger viewers would have nearly zero chance of knowing. Goes to show that this show is quite different, but this is just one piece of proof among many.True. Sleepless in Ponyville and Filli Vanilli are prime examples of that. I mean, we aren't getting titles like 'Pwetty Pwincess Pickles Gets Picked On" or anything like that, so that alone makes them good in my book. Best princess related title: Luna Eclipsed. It's distinctive in that it's clear and easier to remember while also indicative of the episode's theme. 1 The truth is always rough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twiia 1,844 May 14, 2016 Share May 14, 2016 Yeah, definitely. I haven't seen much shows, but this one certainly is the best at naming. 'Make me your Queen' Sig by Wheatley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do agree that Flutter Brutter is a really weird one...What is a 'Brutter' exactly? XD One would think it is a pun for brother, which yes it is, but that is a pretty brutal misspelling for the sake of a pun, one that isn't even that good either. =P 1 Redeem me into childhood.

Dynamo Pad 11,825 May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 I would have to say yes. Some of the episode titles are pretty creative, funny and good references to other things.

An Unknown Pony. 370 May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 The show has incredible episode titles which consists of funny puns,made up words and foreshadowing. “The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear, and the oldest and strongest kind of fear is fear of the unknown” DeviantArt Account/Youtube account Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBaby 660 May 17, 2016 Share May 17, 2016 (edited) They're pretty good at it, but it isn't unique. They just do the same thing Pokémon does with THEIR dub episode titles. They just turn something about the episode into a pun and make that the name. I wouldn't be surprised if they had a MLPTNC (My Little Pony Title Naming Committee) that came up with the episode names.

powerpuff-tsubasa 448 May 22, 2016 Share May 22, 2016 i think most of the episode titles have some creativity when the show is still running Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
