Anyone else think Maud Pie is the funniest character of the show?

[Scootalove 10,689]

See I know they were going for dry humor, but again, just something about the way she said her lines was a little too flat to work for me.  Went from being dry humor to boring as a result, at least for me it did.

I did hear a lot about how most people didn't like the dry humor when it got boring, understandable.

Im gonna be honest...............I didn't understand the character at all.  All i saw was a down, depressed character, who reminded me of Raven from Teen Titans, by the way she spoke and her responses as if she could care less, in a way.

"It's kind of like hide-and-seek, but waaay moire intense... "

 

That was definitely one of the few times I laughed out loud at something in MLP. In fact, this whole episode had my full attention. Great character. I was skeptical up until the end when they proved she had emotions.

Time to rain on the parade here but no, to be completely honest, she wasn't that interesting of a character to me, rather boring also.

[Syeekoh 33]

Yes, I do. Very much so, in fact.

[Flutter's lover <3 8,205]

I thought she was freaking hilarious. She's a rockstar at comedy.

[Never2muchpinkie 211]

She is probably one of the funniest characters, IMO. I was laughing out loud all the way through the ep (even watched it twice in a row! Which I never do!) I especially loved the part where she says: "it tastes like apples." 

Yeah, exactly, she just has that really monotone voice and then her lines are just like "It's a rock." or "It tastes like apples." and it's so funny xD

For me what got me hooked was her first "joke"  Where Rarity asked her what her dress was saying, and she was like, "It doesn't talk. It's a dress." It was such an unexpected answer that I burst out laughing for like two minutes. And of course they really sold the ending with Maud showing she kept all the necklaces Pinkie gave her and finally smiling while saving she loves her sister.  One of the best episodes of season 4 to me as I am a huge fan of literal/dry humor.

I feel like they should've hired whichever writer comes up with Raven's lines for that episode. I think Raven is the funniest character ever, I mean, that line "evil beware. we have waffles." is perhaps the funniest line ever xD

 

Or they should've at least made her a bit snarky/sarcastic.

[That 80s Pony 62]

Well, she defiantly was one of the funniest, but probably not the funniest of the series yet.   

[Nightmare_Shinigami 31]

I'm just saying it SHE made me laugh more that Pinkie Pie in the ENTIRE Series I just love the Comically Serious kind of Char

[Moost 164]

She wore a Mr X trench coat.

[Melody Star 11]

I did find Maud quite amusing, she made me laugh a few times too. XD Her rock poems are so hilarious. I love how straightforward she is, lol.

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

I really only find her funny in juxtaposition with pinkie. Unless pinkie is around, or partaking in the events of the shot, Maud is rather boring. But with her emotionless attitude, in the same place as pinkies over the top absurdness, it makes for a great juxtaposition. 

[Gone Airbourne 21,977]

Maud Pie is by far one of the greatest characters out of this show. My second favorite character to Cheerilee. She is a funny character and its really cool how polar opposite she is from Pinkie Pie. I hope to see much more from this character hopefully. That straightforwardness about her is the best.

The part when she throws the rock when she was with rainbow dash and how she smashed the crap out of the bolder was the coolest parts to me.

[Rainboom Dash 1,056]

I love comically serious characters in fiction, and Maude was no exception. Hope she returns some day.

[Darker 1,351]

The only one that has made me laugh.

[Treble Bolt 1,122]

I personally do not think she is the funniest overall in the show. However, with her character being the opposite/contrast to what we have grown used to with all the other characters in the show over the duration of 4 seasons really made her stand out and leave a mark. Not to mention being the polar opposite of Pinkie Pie. I'd say she was the funniest in that specific episode...I do not think she would do well being "stuck" into other episodes. It was an episode for her....and she was funnier than Pinkie Pie could ever be in that context....

[Vemillia Nightshade 2,247]

The whole stoneface thing, no pun intended, can have a comedic factor when used right. If anything Maud played the role of a stonefaced yet funny character in her episode. Seemingly emotionless, doesn't mean emotionless.

[Pinkamena-Pills 6,839]

Maud has got a rock-solid sense of humor. 

[BronySteel 79]

She was very funny, but imo Discord still takes the crown for funniest. Or Pinkie, even.

[Buck Testa 5,505]

Maud had me rolling. I love deadpan humor and always have. Its part of the reason I like Raven from Teen Titans or Minami from Lucky Star.

[Guest]

Maud is great, I would put Rarity and Pinkie ahead of her though, they're the 2 funniest in the show IMO

[Splashee 28,563]

I haven't really laughed at any of her off behavior. She's unique, and loveable. I like her design. But she is not the funniest.

[Misty Shadow 7,848]

"You're the most basic of jokes." 

I'll never forget the day that line won me over. Yeah, Maud's humor is gold.
