Least Favorite Episode?

[Klopp 2,050]

The one with that Bitch, Gilda. Trixie I can cope with, but no one hurts Fluttershy's feelings!

[Sunnymilk 40]

it would be the one with Gilda, SHE MADE FLUTTERSHY CRY that is unacceptable!

[HeroMuffins 10]

i think "Green isn't your color" is boring except the part when Twilight makes Fluttershy pick her nose

[HanPolo 150]

I HATED the one with Gilda in, even though Pinkie prevailed in the end. Gilda was so mean! I also dident like the first Discord episode because i hated seeing all of the ponies in that grey state (Exccept Applejack, her facial expression when lieing was classic ) and it ended on a down.

[Pretty Fly for a PinkiePie 65]

To be clear, the one I'm about to say is one I liked about 95%, just all the others are liked more. I didn't really like Boast Busters. I know, I like Trixie, I just can't stand that Twilight wouldn't do anything until the end. It grinded on me.

[Marshmallow 1,137]

Feeling Pinkie Keen, because I personally felt somewhat slighted at the possible implication that "things you don't understand" might be misinterpreted as a pseudo-identity of Faith or other such things, which are (if properly pursued) not completely "things you don't understand".

 

Yeah, I didn't like the lesson too much in that one either, but the rest of the episode was really good imo.

[Arylett Charnoa 4,919]

Mine is any episode that centers around the CMC. (Call of the cutie, Cutie Pox, etc.)

I dont like the characters all that much, except Apple Bloom. It just doesn't appeal. I would rather see the main ponies. The only exception is Cutie Mark Chronicals. It involved more on the main 6.

Agreed. I'm not interested in the CMC much either. Although I DID like Cutie Pox. But only because I like the idea of such an illness happening to ponies.

 

Although my least favourite would probably have to be Mysterious Mare-Do-Well. The twist was just far too obvious and everyone seemed a tad out of character. Rainbow Dash's arrogance though, unlike the others who have cited disliking it, didn't really bother me as much. Although it did seem over the top.

 

Owl's Well That Ends Well wasn't really one I was fond of either. I also found the owl annoying.

[Vinyl Scratch 262]

That distinction has to go to Look Before You Sleep, mainly due to how uncharacteristically dumb Twilight was. It was hard to invest in the situation when I couldn't get over her obliviousness to even the simplest things. Plus, I really want to give her a sock in the jaw when she says "It's the rule" in that....tone. XP

 

I will say I don't mind the episodes that have more predictable endings like "May the Best Pet Win," given I'm in it for the ride rather than the destination. It's a bit like a Roadrunner cartoon (going to be quoting Derek from Classic Game Room Undertow here): You know what's going to happen, you know how it's going to happen, but you watch anyway. Why? Because the shorts are well-made in the first place, they draw in an audience. Again, I could say the same for quite a few of the MLP episodes that are guilty of this. I'd actually put this in the same category as "sketch comedy shows using recurring characters. It's inhuman to come up with 100% new material every week, so they have as much of a right to reused characters as any cartoon is to more formulaic plots. I do enjoy the more uncertain episodes like "Lesson Zero" immensely, though.

[Robojot 152]

i did not like Cutie Pox. i just did not likethe episode for some reason

[Nameless 7]

I didn't really like the CMC episodes. Like the OP said, I'd much rather watch episodes about the main ponies.

[Crazy Misty 653]

I disliked "Mysterious Mare do well" It made RD seem horrible (my fave pony) I mean I know she's a bit boastful but she went over the top arragont that ep

[--- 41]

Bumping an old thread, because if I made a new thread, I would just be directed here, anyway.

 

To me, the episode that absolutely stands out as bad is certainly Baby Cakes. I found it beyond boring, and almost didn't even make it through the episode. I was watching it on my laptop, and ended up keeping the tab minimized while I did other things on the web, and just sort of listening to it and clicking back if it seemed like something significant was actually happening. I found it to be entirely boring and repetitive.

 

The Owlicious episode was a bit annoying, but mostly because I don't like Spike. I guess I am the only one to give a resounding 'meh' to the Mare Do Well episode. Maybe I already disliked Rainbow Dash, so it wasn't too much of a letdown for me. I have to admit that the ending surprised me, at the very least. Honestly the episode didn't really stand out to me, other than it seems to be a frequent episode of discussion.

 

Anyone with me on 'Baby Cakes?'

[Mister Jack 566]

Over a Barrel. Braeburn and the Pinkie song were good. Everything else is pretty much a big fat "meh" for me. And I do not like the buffalo, either.

[RagingTwilight 101]

Yeah, Baby Cakes is the only episode I do not like, but due to other reasons, namely I don't care for babies. They're annoying. That, and the fact that the cake twins are not earth ponies bugs me for some reason. And Pound Cake being able to fly so quickly is weird as well. I think it was just done for comedy, but it didn't really follow through for me.

 

As for the episode that I still like but like the least: Mysterious Mare Do Well for most reasons stated previously. Dash is way to arrogant, and that cliff...I'd be okay if they only used it once, but twice?

[Wanderlust 2]

Lesson zero and feeling pinkie keen. Only two eps i have not re-watched. I did not like Mare do well either, really bad writing for RD. I want the arrogance to at least be more subtle and some of the scenes ruined the fairy tail feel.

[Mare in the Moon 173]

I didnt like "Secret of My Excess" as much as the others. I like them all, but this one is my least favorite.

[Twi Rubix 726]

*Yaymytopicgotrevived...*

 

Hearts and Hooves day.... it was funny, but I dont know if I can handle the name calling by Cheerlie and Big Mac again...

[Mare in the Moon 173]

but I dont know if I can handle the name calling by Cheerlie and Big Mac again...

 

Totally agree with you on that one.

[Robert3186 45]

The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well was quite painful to watch. Although other than that, at the risk of sounding like an indecisive fanboy; I enjoyed all other episodes (at least elements of them).

[Akemi Homura 7,680]

I like all of them, in fact I love most of them, but my least favorite has to be Applebuck Season and Luna Eclipsed (I didn't particularly find it TOO good). But as I said, I like them all

[Mare in the Moon 173]

I am just gonna ask: How many of you can say that MLP FiM is the only show that you honestly like EVERY episode of? (So many people were saying they liked em all anyway, so I just wanted to add the sub-question)

[Knight Shadrahk 159]

Call of the cutie.

[NyJonesy26 3]

Any ep when Rarity gets her own song. I don't know why but I just don't like her singing voice >.<

[Twi Rubix 726]

Call of the cutie.

 

I never saw Call of the Cutie actually because I was never interested in it.

[Aureity 3,055]

I love all the episodes.

It's not so much the episodes that get under my skin, but the plot holes. Especially the one with Applejack jumping out of the carriage, it was all I could think about and I missed Fluttershy's d'awwww quote
