Wow, I had no idea people disliked her. I never really gave much thought as to whether I liked her or not. I guess she’s one of my least favorites, cause, like the previous comments stated, she just isn’t interesting enough.
Actually, this episode is a good demonstration of the idiom "The shoemaker's children have no shoes". The general concept is that it's easy to recognize faults in someone else, but not so easy to recognize the faults in one's self, even if it's the same fault. I mean, this episode sure does exaggerate it. But the point is that even if you recognize a fault in someone else, you may not recognize that you yourself have this fault because, in your mind, it's a system that works. It's basically the "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality at its most extreme. Just because a system works, it doesn't mean it's at its most efficient. Especially if that's how you were raised and taught.
That acually reminds me of a story. Basically my Great-grandmother always cut the end off of her chicken before she cooked it, so that's how my maternal Grandma learned it. So when my mom was a kid, that's still how Grandma cooked her chicken. One day, Mom asked Grandma why she cut the ends off the chicken before cooking it. Grandma said that's just how *her* mom did it and she didn't know why. So Grandma called *her* mom and asked why she cut the ends off her chicken. It was because the pot was too small. My Grandma had just assumed that was a special trick or something and started doing it herself, even though her pot was plenty big. Thanks for reading this random storytime 😊
In my opinion, this should not work for this episode, for various reasons.Considering that AJ's family is away in this episode, she is left with all the work, but you can't say that they wouldn't notice the amount of extra work she does.So this begs the question:does her family knows what she is doing, but they either don't care or secretly laugh at her, or are they just as dumb?
@@CyberWarezz05 You presented a false dichotomy. Here's a third option. Those are all part of her normal chores. The chores get done and so don't question how. So like AJ, the rest of the doesn't take into consideration that AJ's process is unnecessary.

I think Applejack got off easy, compared to How Fancy Pants was Downgraded in MLP's Later Years (INCLUDING PONY LIFE,) and The Later Years of Equestria Girls. Oh, also The Infamous Grogar Twist and how Discord's Character Development was demolished.
@@The_Double_U THEY DID DISCORD SO DIRTY LOL "Oh, the guy we spent several episodes teaching about friendship is actually never going to change his ways and will just keep unintentionally endangering ponykind. Hope you enjoyed the finale!"
I hated the season 9 finale twist. Discord was such a funny and likable character, being sly and cunning at the same time. And then they went and dumbed him down. Like seriously, did this mean all that drama in the season 9 trailer with discord getting hurt and everything, it was all fake? Equestria was in danger, cause of discord’s stupid prank? Ughhhhhhh sorry I needed to vent somewhere
And also We were all Lied to about Grogar being The Main Antagonist in Season 9. All that hype, led to Disappointment showing he was actually Discord. I Despise This Plot Twist, because There was so much potential with actually Having Grogar being The Final Villain, and they wasted it.
Applejack was probably counting on her highly effective tool pouch equipped with an advanced gyroscopic stabilizer to do the majority of her farming chores.
Personally, I didn't have much of a problem with this episode. Perhaps it appears a bit ridiculous that Applejack didn't notice the obviously pointless things she was doing, but I think that's just what the moral of this episode is trying to get at. In real life, we can tend to get into habits that become irrelevant, and it's useful to have other people point them out. It's not always easy to see your own shortcomings from a single perspective.
@@LittleshyFiM Where can I go to see suggested sins? Also, I really liked the Viewer-Suggested special you did a few years ago and I'm wondering if you'll do that again sometime.
Things I enjoyed in the episode: 1. RD`s development from being afraid of pedicures to enjoying them, and how she hilariously tries to do it in secrecy to maintain her rad persona 2. Spa sisters` accents 3. Getting to look around the spa more
And maybe she learnt this lesson in order to maybe love the spa eventually? Maybe? I dunno. But I won't judge if you ❤ the Spa or Books or if you don't- You can still be cool regardless. What's not cool is Rainbow Dash being Insulting
My mom does this; takes her two hours to do the dishes when we have a dishwasher. Also she carries buckets of kitchen sink water to pour it into the toilet instead of fixing the kitchen sink. She says we can't afford to fix the kitchen sink (it gets clogged easily) but she spends hundreds of dollars in plumbing bills several times a year after she accidentally flushes a metal utensil down the toilet.
I wish we could of gotten an episode developing Caidence and Shining Armor, a episode about the main 6 going into the human world or sunset coming to the pony world, or a bunch of other much better ideas instead of this.
Twilight fell victim to the "5 second quiz" trick. Reads step 1, "open the gate", then opens the gate, then reads step 2: "Close the gate" then closes the gate. You would think Twilight would be the kind to read the entire list first then start the tasks.
This was a weird episode of MLP. The lesson was strikingly specific to adult life and completely irrelevant to children. I suppose it was a "good" moral overally, but I just thought the execution was extremely clumsy.

I saw this episode as a contradiction to the way Granny Smith makes zap apple jam by yelling at bottles and jumping over them in a bunny outfit. The lesson in that case was that such things were legitimate.
ah, I never thought about that. The difference seems to be that Granny Smith held value and enjoyment in those unnecessary tasks, while AJ is only needlessly burdened and frustrated bcos of the extra steps.

And I believe that is a pretty valuable lesson
@@jemimahrajakumar7770 Actually, they said it was impossible to make zap apple jam correctly without those extra steps. It wasn't about Granny Smith enjoying those things for fun. Granny Smith: "Just like harvestin' the zap apples had its special rules, so did makin' zap apple jam. I learned that you gotta be extra friendly with the bees, otherwise their honey won't taste rightly sweet to mix in with the zap apples. Who'd'a thought that glass jars needed talkin' to? Or that zap apples like pink polka dots? But magic is as magic does. Just funny that way."
@@featherpony My question is just how did she figure this stuff out? Be good to bees for best honey makes sense, and I guess making sure your jars aren't going to break easy is good, but at what point do you put on a bunny suit hopping over watering cans singing the alphabet song?
The loss of Applejack's parents was very traumatic, the little filly had a farm to support, little tasks suddenly became huge choir, granny Smith gave her a job expected it done, gave each child a job expected it done, the job was done on to the next task not checking how. Anybody remember how Granny Smith makes Zap Apple jam?
Spike tends to be highly competent and the voice of reason even, just not usually when he's in the spotlight because the writers are goofs. The pigs could be truffle hunters.
I think This Episode is worth watching, JUST for watching Applejack act like a Chicken and making Faces at The Pigs, and Rainbow Dash getting caught going to The Spa. The Rest of The Episode, Not so much. I actually usually skip This Episode when wanting too watch MLP.
Karens are bitches who only knows how to complain about everything and never do something to fix those things themselves. AJ, on the other hoof, while being stubborn because she didn't get what she wants, actually tried to fix the problem herself. She even learn from her mistakes.
To be honest, to me this episode always kinda felt like a repeat of "Green Isn't Your Color"...you know in terms of Rarity wanting to spend time with a friend at the spa and all that.
Fun Fact: Horses will occasionally eat meat (mostly birds) to supplement their diet and get nutrients that aren't found in their normal diet (Like protein and calcium) so the pigs just might have a purpose after all...
A: Pigs eat leftovers and make fertilizer. Useful on a farm. B: Anypony wonder exactly where Rarity is keeping that pocket watch when she has no pockets? 🤭 💚🐇🐴💚
Oh my god, I'm soooooooo excited. Flutter Brutter is my favorite episode of Season 6! I can't wait for this video! There will never be a pony like the ridiculous Zeph. It's gonna be so much fun.
I wonder if AJ's family ever noticed her time-wasting shenanigans. Would they think its all good or are they too embarrased to tell AJ she's doing it all wrong?
0:23 Funnily enough, there's actually a fanfic where Rainbow Dash is apparently cursed (key word, apparently) to say the word 'darling' over and over again. I don't remember who wrote it, but it's called 'Rainbow Dash's Darling Day', Look it up.
As a fan of Applejack, I HATED how this episode made her out to be such an incompetant. Surely there was other way to teach that lesson than showing that AJ can't even farm good.
Well, it's bound to happen eventually. When your characters develop to a certain point you either end the show because they have nowhere to go, add in new main characters, or regress your characters so they can relearn stuff they already learned ages ago. Point 2 is how we got Starlight and eventually the School 6.
@@kyuubinaruto17 But that episode was not even regressing to relearn the same thing. It was making her forget the very core of her character. Pinky Pie was making a better job at farming in magical mystery cure!
@Hadeshy sorry for the late comment , but ikr? If I were Hasbro, I would've made AJ the SOLUTION to the problem instead, cuz it makes more sense (in my mind).
the ads- double unskippable, plays perfectly clear with no lag the video as soon as i finally get to it- huge amount of lag, cruddy quality, 1fps framerate, audio with no video, etc etc repeat 2 or 3 times with me refreshing the page and even restarting my whole computer and finally yt stops being a bish an lets me watch the video normally ... thanks a lot yt -_-
As far as I'm aware UA-cam doesn't show multiple unskippable ads. When they do show an unskippable ad, it shouldn't be longer than 20 seconds. It sounds like there may be an issue with your computer especially with all of the lag and frame dropping you describe. It's possible your browser was hijacked by some kind of malware to show malicious advertising which isn't from UA-cam. I recommend a scan with something reputable like Malwarebytes.
Honestly, Littleshy is keeping my faith in the Brony community alive. Love this man's content too. I gotta catch up on this series, fell out of it for a season.
For those who don’t know at 2:13 the guy said change wing witch is a reference to how to train your Dragon the change wing is a dragon that mimics and changes colers
if i remember correctly, twilight’s “easy solution” for watering the plants was… turning the wheels all at once … with unicorn magic?? how is applejack meant to do this on her own
"Why do the show hates Applejack?" Why don't you? "Without working a day in their life RARITY!" Rarity has been working since she was a child, just because she works in what she loves (and can find precious gem whenever she wants) doesn't mean it is not work.
0:51 I think that's actually in-character for Applejack, considering that in Applebuck Season, she stops bucking apples (her main priority) to help out her friends. Makes sense she would help Twilight and Spike instead of just doing her chores.
One weird thing is the title. Applejack's "Day Off": Would imply that it wasn't a day off, even though it seemed like it Applejack's "Day" Off: Makes it sound like the "day" part was a lie, and it was actually a night off, or a week off.
"One look at the list should've convinced Twilight that Applejack is not right in the head." Yeah, but can we say in good conscience that ANY of them have EVER been right in the head? Lol!
I can't remember what it was anymore (because it was so long ago), but this episode made me realize I was doing something unnecessary that was a fix for a problem that no longer existed.
"Bueller....Bueller......Bueller......Anyone?" “Oh.......you’re still here? It’s over. You clicked _Read more_ and this is all you're going to get. I'm done with the refrences. Go home. Go.”
For some reason the writers think that to make an episode with a moral about honesty, farming, or family-ing, they have to make Applejack bad at it first, which just makes her seem like she's really not good at anything she's known for.
2:37 Come on I think it's a pretty good disguise. All she has to do is cover her rainbow hair and disguise her voice and she could easily pull off being any other blue pony.
Ohmygosh A LittleshyFim video and I missed its release! Also November comes my favorite mlp episode (Stranger than fanfiction)! I will make sure not to miss that one's release!
Rarity scared/disgusted me in season 1 with that make up she had on in the episode "Sonic Rainboom" and now in this episode where she fused with granny smith!
*BONUS:* applejack does a chicken dance for the pigs, though horses can barely stand on their two limbs without support, she makes it look so easy and tells the law of physics to fuck off. 2: applejack claims that the pig fence is loose, yet doesn't enhance it using the tools SHE CLEARLY DID MINUTES LATER IN THE EPISODE. 3: twilight uses a rope to hold herself as shes feeding the pigs, then why even bother using *"WINGS!"* . cmon twilight you had ONE JOB!. SIN SUMMARY: this is confusion
You forgot to sin the fact that Rarity and Twilight think that Applejack is actually a unicorn and continue to show her how to turn all the wheels of the pipes at the same time using magic, also how to effortlessly change the wire fence, oh wait- in order to do to that you need magic as well :)
It’s officially time you get your own sin so, In earlier episodes you had Spike’s dialogue colored green but now it’s purple…kinda like his egg. Cinamare Sins: 2,748 - Commenters: 1
the pig farm is only illegal if we assume pigs are sentient. they probably are since they do have hooves, but it's not impossible, and they don't do anything 100% sentient.
Spike is usually the most rational one. He's only not when he's the focus of the episode.

1:04 "couldn't u just get somepony else in ur family to help out for a bit?" *Said Twilight to the Orphan*
Fun Fact:
Horses will occasionally eat meat (mostly birds) to supplement their diet and get nutrients that aren't found in their normal diet (Like protein and calcium) so the pigs just might have a purpose after all...
Okay, that dubbing of Spike's "smell my feed" made me snicker😆
3:29 "How in Equestria did it never occur to you to check for leaks?" "I suppose we get used to the way things are" - Hasbro self-reference, everyone.
"Why does this show hate Applejack?" she's also cut out of a lot of the merchandise, so it's Hasbro that hates AJ.
:-_-
Cinimaresins prove that people still make MLP related content and this knowledge makes me happy.
Honestly, I am kind of surprised when Applejack makes that face😂
A: Pigs eat leftovers and make fertilizer. Useful on a farm.
B: Anypony wonder exactly where Rarity is keeping that pocket watch when she has no pockets? 🤭
💚🐇🐴💚
Darling darling darlingdaaaarling
*Translation*
Keep up with the amazing content
Oh my god, I'm soooooooo excited. Flutter Brutter is my favorite episode of Season 6! I can't wait for this video! There will never be a pony like the ridiculous Zeph. It's gonna be so much fun.
2:20 You also forgot the fact of her mane being blond too and her forlock being short like a Karen
Applejack was and still is my favorite character so this episode hurt to watch....
I wonder if AJ's family ever noticed her time-wasting shenanigans. Would they think its all good or are they too embarrased to tell AJ she's doing it all wrong?
Applejack's "Day Off".
Twilight and Spike's "Day On".
Yup.
0:23 Funnily enough, there's actually a fanfic where Rainbow Dash is apparently cursed (key word, apparently) to say the word 'darling' over and over again. I don't remember who wrote it, but it's called 'Rainbow Dash's Darling Day', Look it up.
Im sorry, the idea of a changling enjoying a hooficure is hilarious
6:28 That moment when you realize your Cutie Mark lie! Either that, or she needs the CMC to help her rediscover her true talent.
I wish we got more actually GOOD Applejack episodes
This episode finally gave us canonical accents for the Spa twins.
The first word he said in the video “Take a hint, Rarity-“
I was like: “TAKE A HINT! TAKE A HINT!~🎵🎶✨”😭😭
As a fan of Applejack, I HATED how this episode made her out to be such an incompetant. Surely there was other way to teach that lesson than showing that AJ can't even farm good.
Well, it's bound to happen eventually. When your characters develop to a certain point you either end the show because they have nowhere to go, add in new main characters, or regress your characters so they can relearn stuff they already learned ages ago. Point 2 is how we got Starlight and eventually the School 6.
@@kyuubinaruto17 But that episode was not even regressing to relearn the same thing. It was making her forget the very core of her character. Pinky Pie was making a better job at farming in magical mystery cure!
@Hadeshy sorry for the late comment , but ikr? If I were Hasbro, I would've made AJ the SOLUTION to the problem instead, cuz it makes more sense (in my mind).
This episode, and Spike at your service are pretty much character assassinations
Aj: is a Karen
Also Karen’s r usually blonde and so is aj
Rd: 🎼rainbow dash always dresses in style🎼
In my head canon, Ponish is just English with a different name. Plus that name doesn't make sense for non-pony characters anyways.
2:23 That face 😂it’s actually so adorable tho
I never noticed this stuff before so I think it’s pretty cool that he spotted all of this that might’ve been a lot of work
the ads- double unskippable, plays perfectly clear with no lag
the video as soon as i finally get to it- huge amount of lag, cruddy quality, 1fps framerate, audio with no video, etc etc
repeat 2 or 3 times with me refreshing the page and even restarting my whole computer and finally yt stops being a bish an lets me watch the video normally
...
thanks a lot yt -_-
As far as I'm aware UA-cam doesn't show multiple unskippable ads. When they do show an unskippable ad, it shouldn't be longer than 20 seconds. It sounds like there may be an issue with your computer especially with all of the lag and frame dropping you describe. It's possible your browser was hijacked by some kind of malware to show malicious advertising which isn't from UA-cam. I recommend a scan with something reputable like Malwarebytes.
I still don't know how someone in the writers room thought this was okay to be turned into an episode.
right 💀
6 DAYS AGO??
6 days ago? -
@@MidnightMuffin idk-
dude out here time travelling lol
Honestly, Littleshy is keeping my faith in the Brony community alive. Love this man's content too.
I gotta catch up on this series, fell out of it for a season.
On your marks: plot hinges upon Apple bloom being a dum dum
Applejack’s day off: plot hinges upon applejack being a dum dum
For those who don’t know at 2:13 the guy said change wing witch is a reference to how to train your Dragon the change wing is a dragon that mimics and changes colers
2:01 *ding* Rainbow Dash could’ve just been faking her fear.
if i remember correctly, twilight’s “easy solution” for watering the plants was… turning the wheels all at once … with unicorn magic?? how is applejack meant to do this on her own
Open the other wheels before open the big one.
5:17 why does everyone assume Ponish doesn’t just naturally sound like English?
"Why do the show hates Applejack?" Why don't you?
"Without working a day in their life RARITY!" Rarity has been working since she was a child, just because she works in what she loves (and can find precious gem whenever she wants) doesn't mean it is not work.
Who's a silly pony?
Madatory "Who's a silly pony?" aside... The lesson in this episode is one of the best ones (in my opnion at least)!
7:00
If that was what he said im the actual episode i would be both confused and laughing
Whoa dude, I watched your videos 8 years ago. Aesthetics and quality increased a ton, not that that's surprising, keep it up!
Ah yes one of the most bland/boring/not bad episodes of the series.
Yeah.
4:55 That line pertains more to this episode than the show.
The Werefrog love the running joke of Spike being the smart one, with how often that joke gets made.
I’m just gonna say it: the show definitely saw a slight dip in quality once Amy Keating Rogers left at the end of season 5.
It was also when MA Larson left as story editor 😭
I opened UA-cam this morning wondering when the next Cinemare Sins video was coming out 😆
This is the perfect representation of *the element of honesty*
0:51 I think that's actually in-character for Applejack, considering that in Applebuck Season, she stops bucking apples (her main priority) to help out her friends. Makes sense she would help Twilight and Spike instead of just doing her chores.
One weird thing is the title.
Applejack's "Day Off": Would imply that it wasn't a day off, even though it seemed like it
Applejack's "Day" Off: Makes it sound like the "day" part was a lie, and it was actually a night off, or a week off.
0:56 *Ding* Missed opportunity to say “Let’s not foal ourselves”
"One look at the list should've convinced Twilight that Applejack is not right in the head."
Yeah, but can we say in good conscience that ANY of them have EVER been right in the head? Lol!
Oh Lord you know you’re in trouble when SPIKE is the most reasonable😂😂
I can't remember what it was anymore (because it was so long ago), but this episode made me realize I was doing something unnecessary that was a fix for a problem that no longer existed.
alright seeya in a month folks
6:48 Well, I guess we know which way the Common Sense Switch was flipped in this episode.
This Episode exists because we needed an excuse to put AJ and Rarity in the same episode
"Bueller....Bueller......Bueller......Anyone?"
“Oh.......you’re still here? It’s over. You clicked _Read more_ and this is all you're going to get. I'm done with the refrences. Go home. Go.”
For some reason the writers think that to make an episode with a moral about honesty, farming, or family-ing, they have to make Applejack bad at it first, which just makes her seem like she's really not good at anything she's known for.
I love these videos so much, they’re so enjoyable to watch lmao
2:37 Come on I think it's a pretty good disguise. All she has to do is cover her rainbow hair and disguise her voice and she could easily pull off being any other blue pony.
Ohmygosh A LittleshyFim video and I missed its release!
Also November comes my favorite mlp episode (Stranger than fanfiction)! I will make sure not to miss that one's release!
Rarity scared/disgusted me in season 1 with that make up she had on in the episode "Sonic Rainboom" and now in this episode where she fused with granny smith!
“Darling?”
“Darling, darling.”
“Darling.”
“Darling!”
this is so far my favourite video from ur channel
*BONUS:* applejack does a chicken dance for the pigs, though horses can barely stand on their two limbs without support, she makes it look so easy and tells the law of physics to fuck off. 2: applejack claims that the pig fence is loose, yet doesn't enhance it using the tools SHE CLEARLY DID MINUTES LATER IN THE EPISODE. 3: twilight uses a rope to hold herself as shes feeding the pigs, then why even bother using *"WINGS!"* . cmon twilight you had ONE JOB!. SIN SUMMARY: this is confusion
She literally fixed the gate, but forgot the habit was useless.
I don't know why the Applejack chicken dance came after the callback to Spoon drawer line is so funny but it is and I love it.
You forgot to sin the fact that Rarity and Twilight think that Applejack is actually a unicorn and continue to show her how to turn all the wheels of the pipes at the same time using magic, also how to effortlessly change the wire fence, oh wait- in order to do to that you need magic as well :)
It’s officially time you get your own sin so,
In earlier episodes you had Spike’s dialogue colored green but now it’s purple…kinda like his egg. Cinamare Sins: 2,748 - Commenters: 1
as the late grate DWK once said 'the common scene arrow is either pointing to twilight or spike this episode'
F
the pig farm is only illegal if we assume pigs are sentient. they probably are since they do have hooves, but it's not impossible, and they don't do anything 100% sentient.
Yay it's here
Btw no memes I found so far
We have now discovered that pony iq is unstable differing each episod
