I really liked how at the end Cheese said that it was Pinkie who inspired him and he wanted her to be impressed with him. It explains why he showed off the way that he did, but because Pinkie was unaware of the situation, she thought he was trying to take her place. In the end, Cheese got to live out his dream of throwing a party with the pony he idolized.
You totally forgot to mention how Cheese was actually also trying to impress Pinkie, because when they were both still kids, Pinkie threw this amazing party that Cheese was caught in, and loved the party, and wanted to be like Pinkie.
And third, the town & re-mane 5 DIDN'T abandon Pinkie. It was shown multiple times that they wanted BOTH Pinkie & -Weird--Al- Cheese Sandwich to headline the party. It's also perfectly normal to celebrate on a renowned guest when they graciously offered to throw a once-in-a-lifetime party for you. The hidden aspect I saw is more exploration with Pinkie's issues with abandonment, it was great to see this revisited after Party of One & Too Many Pinkie Pies. This is now my funniest MLP:FiM episode ever. P.S. I'd really like to see Firebrand's list of all the Mane 6's Virtue & vice sometime.
First, RD said "so what do you say, party PLANNERS" plural, as in both Pinkie & Cheese. Second, Twilight asked Pinkie if she's gonna help Cheese with planning the party, meaning she expected they both would work together. Third, the remane 5 stopped Pinkie from moving away & RD enforces nopony could replace Pinkie as Ponyville's permanent party planner & Cheese was just a guest planner. Granted they were over-excited with Cheese but who wouldn't in that scenario?
Well, actually, Twilight did. She must have had a Princess Sixth Sense go off reminding her of the events of Party of One and, sensing a sick case of that happening again, was the reason she went to check up on Pinkie. Even then, seeing Pinkie's behavior in trying to hid how upset she really was, Twilight knew that she and the others had hurt Pinkie's feelings again, but this time, Pinkie was struggling to avoid letting Pinkamena out as she only wanted to ensure that if Rainbow and the others were happy, then she was too. Her pride is what inevitably lead to her believing that she had ruined their friendship first and felt it would have been better to move away and start over somewhere else. Once the others saw that, you could see on Twilight's face she knew this would happen after speaking to Pinkie and seeing Pinkie attempt to win them back in the Goof-Off under the risk of the loser not headlining the party. When they do apologize for their mistakes in getting caught up in the excitement of the new stuff Cheese had to offer, having known sooner than the others, Twilight does not look as upset or remorseful as the others do, thanks to her Princess Sixth Sense remembering Party of One's mishap.
Hoping this doesn't sound mean to say, but yes, party planning is a career in the real world. Granted in the real world only the super rich use them often while everyone else only on special occasions. However like a few people have already pointed out, emotions have supernatural powers in this world and it could be that what Pinkie does is considered a public service. A ponyville full of negative emotions might actually be dangerous.
I know this is a little late, but still. Now, let´s see, we´ve got the Mane Six AND Spike living in Ponyville, and - Spike is friends with the leaders of the dragons and changelings respectively. - Twilight is among the most powerful magic-users we´ve seen thus far. - Rarity has connections in high society and is a well respected fashion designer. - Pinkie Pie is, well, Pinkie Pie. - Applejack and her family appear to be spread out to all corners of Equestria, and who knows what they´ll do if AJ needs their help with something. - Rainbow Dash is the fastest flyer in all of Equestria. - Fluttershy is friends with a sea serpent, a manticore, has caused a full-grown dragon to cry and defeated a cockatrice in its own game. Also, Discord. Conclusion: A Ponyville full of negative emotions is dangerous.
Yup, it is a real occupation. I was talking with this lady once about her career and while she currently works for an NGO but she used to work for a government official and her job really was being a party planner. Like she even used the phrase "party planner". She basically organized social gatherings, balls, galas, etc. It takes a lot of work to organize functions with all these prominant people in high society. It's also really important for networking. She wouldn't have the job she has today without all the connections she made there and her parties certainly got other people in contact with each other too.
My favorite part of the whole episode is the rainbow eyes. When Pinkie Realizes what she did and gives up the Goof-off. Yes, abandoning your desires for your friends is a according theme, but just the way she looked when she saw that Rainbow was unhappy. Like she was physically in pain by the idea of one of her friends being unhappy with what she was doing. So much so that she was willing to give up, even if it meant her having to leave Ponyville. She may be goofy, but nopony cares about her friends more than Pinke :)
Agreed. Pinkie allowed her pride to convince her that she had to win her friends back with beating Cheese in the Goof-Off, but once she had her epiphany and realized she lost track of what the Magic of Laughter is really about, she felt so upset about it that she took the most desperate choice she could think of: Her pride in tatters and her friendship with the rest of the Mane Six, in her mind, destroyed, she decided to pack up and move away from Ponyville, feeling this would be the best choice as to her punishment for letting her pride ruin Rainbow's special day. Luckily, her friends realize they were in error as well. They got caught up in all the excitement from seeing what Cheese had to offer, and nearly let their friendship with Pinkie be wrecked as a result. They were able to catch Pinkie just in time and make amends, and their friendship was made stronger as a result. Moral: Never let one's pride or excitement get in the way of one's friendship. It could tear it apart and possibly become un-salvageable.
Earth magic telling earth ponies like AJ how to take care of their crops... You mean the reason AJ talks to trees the way she does is because, in her case, they talk back?
seriously i was like "really rainbow, you're just gonna ditch your friend who promised you the best party ever and you leave her for a pony you just met and said their work was better after 50 seconds of seeing them".
Christopher Kelley Still, it wasn´t really nice for everypony to leave Pinkie behind, they knew she was making a Party for Dash and I thought it was a slap to Pinkies face..
***** no i am implying that its not cool to ditch your friends for someone you barley know and then blatantly say his parties are better than pinkies. and the "no offense" was really just thrown in their so she wouldn't sound like a bad person. even though she really is.
***** im not saying she deliberately did it to hurt pinkie. im saying the action its self was not cool weither she knew it would of hurt her or not. rainbow dash should of stopped and thought "hey, my friend was gonna throw me a party" or "hey , i probably shouldn't say things that might make my friend upset". to me it just showed how shallow rainbow dash can be
I just have to say thanks Josh, I've known about weird AL for years and I'd heard snippits of his songs from across the internet and I always knew that he would be the type of musician that I would love...but I never checked him out...until - your review of Feeling Pinkie keen, you stuck "Everything you know is wrong" in the credits and I finally thought "what the hell" and now he's in my daily list on songs I listen to, and this was before I knew he would be on MLP so thank you Josh for introducing me to weird Al just in time to get hyped up for the show he would guest star in which was the same show you reviewed which finally got me to watch him! Funny how life works isn't it
2:15 no, her vice is a deep seated feeling of not being good enough that is why she is completely shattered if it seems like no one is enjoying her parties, like she says all she really needs is a smile smile smile from these happy pony friends of hers.
I watched this episode not knowing who Weird Al was at first. I'll always know him as Cheese Sandwich, not "Weird Al pony", since I'm not much of an Al fan.
and that is why I place Josh as number 1 as a brony reivewer. cause he balances best with the episodes of what is good and what is bad and give reasons as to why. heck, he could give Digi and Voice of reason a run for their money.
The reason why people think that Pinkie's friends were being inconsiderate is because they didn't even seem concerned. I'm just glad that they apologized to her. After all, this episode was handled better than then episode "Four's a crowd", from "Sofia the First". I know I've said this a lot, but I just can't shake the feeling that the writer tried to make Sofia look like the bad guy when her friends didn't even stop to consider how she might feel. Heck, they didn't even apologize. I'm just glad that the writer for this episode didn't make that mistake.
*smiles* and once again, Josh has proven to be the best brony review/analysis in my book and he really has good points. I hope Voice of Reason sees this cause Josh can challenge his reasons and I really am hoping they do a review together sometime in the future. That and I hope Voice sees it to understand reasons as to why Twilight and the others ignored Pinkie in the episode and does not take it against the episode. so this episode really was a good one compare to Rainbow Falls. Thank you Josh (aka Fire Brand).
I like to think that ponys give Pinkie party things (cupcakes,balloons, banner) for free. After all, ponys seem to be generous, and they get a free party.
Weird Al all the way! /) Although it was one of the saddest moments of MLP for me when Pinkie was broken down that much...she's my favorite pony after all and I can totally relate to her :/
My life was complete too when I saw this episode. Yet I am still living, So Keep the crazy Comin'. Also, Pinkie Pride in my 2nd favorite episode with slice of life BARELY (ALOT of stress on Barely) Making the top. what took the cake in slice of life (pun unintended) was the Vinyl and Octavia music duo. The combined two aspect of music that is from the present (Vinyl) and the past (Octavia) (past isn't meant to be rude, it mans it was more common in the past) and joined them. I always like history, Especially war and strategies. but i always liked the present for other things. I take the saying "Those who don't know History are Doomed to repeat it." or something. That was alot longer then i intended it to be.
Best random sound blip of the century! Don't know what I mean? Just press "0" to return to the very start of the video and listen. Spam "0" if you have to.
I would definitely agree that gluttony is not Pinkie's downfall vice. With the exception of eating too much fudge, it never does slow her down. Additionally, she has shown a great level of self control when she was guarding the cake (opposed to outright eating it) in the train mystery episode. Good video overall.
"This episode was energetic to say the least" Me: That's what you get from weird Al! (Btw I'm not trying to be rude to you or weird Al cause I love both of your work)
No I don't think Twilight was aware of what Prinkie was going through, Twilight has never shied away from giving advice (even when its unasked and unneeded) And no, her friends abandoned her party at the drop of the hat, so of course she hid her feelings, she didn't want to come across as being a jerk, they should have been a bit more considerate of her feelings.
I'll be honest other then the Goof Off I didn't like this episode. Pinkie already had the party for Rainbow planned and for Rainbow and the rest of the main 6 to suddenly let Cheese Sandwich start planning one was a real dick move. I mean lets be real if I had a friend planning a party for me already and suddenly this highly talented party planner suddenly appeared I'd turn him/her down without a second thought because accepting him/her would be betraying my friend which was what the Main 6 did and because of that I just couldn't enjoy the episode.
dragonxking24 I completely agree. Anyway, why would people be mad at Pinkie for her actions in Goof Off, because that's basically how ANYONE would've reacted.
0:51 I never saw that. Then again I was never introduced to weird al. The weirdest song I listen to is Chewy fingers 2:30 or she had a experience made her emotions unstable. Or born like that. NOT THAT I KNOW ABOUT THAT FROM EXPERIENCE!
To me this episode shows pinkie as a 3-dimensional really well. Most of the time you see pinkie performing her element of laughter during the show. I'm glad that this episode goes against her element showing that she has more than one emotion. Who's element are they going against next. Can't wait
I actually had an idea for an mlp fan game called "my little pony before friendship was magic." And it takes place before the series began. One of the characters I made is Sunshine Doodily who is a party pony (and Pinkie's soon to be Grandma).
@0:53 Not even a minute in, and I got some context for you... The fact that I was in a metaphorical void when it came to Weird Al (I didn't follow him, but some of his voice and songs had a familiar ring to it), listening in on his voice work and singing really made it a nice contrast to what we've already heard. I never heard Weird Al in this episode (Mainly because I haven't heard Weird Al that much, if at all), but just Cheese Sandwich doing Polka, which worked in the 'mirror to element of laughter and fourth wall shenanigans' sense. Not bad huh...?
how dare you!? Weird Al could bring Atheists and Christians together for polka parties! Weird Al died for your sins and then came back to die for more of your sins! Weird Al stopped the apocalypse! twice!
Charlotte Shewchuk Neither do I. I just learned about him today (not including the subtle references scattered around), but he is reeeaaally awesome from what i've seen (and heard).
The part about Letting her friends find out at 4:48 . that might actually be a good thing because if someone tells you the answer you are most likely to forget it as a talk with a friend. It is better because if you learn something yourself your brain will put it under "don't do this" or "this is what might be happening"
Great review as usual, Josh. BTW, in case you were wondering what was Pinkie singing in spanish, it was a traditional mexican song used when someone's about to hit the Piñata. It's literally translated to: ''Hit it, hit it, hit it, don't lose your aim, cause if you do, you'll lose your way''
My take on this episode; the story on this one was certified "MEH", with the end being the real selling point ("Pinkie's Lament!?" Are you F#$%ING me!?) On the other hand, the humor more than made up for the lacking story. In my humble opinion, one of the funniest episodes yet. I think I have a new favorite Pinkie episode.
+FOB Equestria Rhythm Beat? Nice! +45 Obscure Popculture Reference Points for you man! I know it's not that obscure, but it definitely earns you mad points in my book.
A little headcannon-y but I tend to think that each pony is unique. So while Cheese Sandwhich is great at throwing huge epic parties, Pinkie Pie is more suited for sillier parties on a less grand scale. And when she has do larger events her party style still shows through hence the chicken dance at a royal wedding.
I love how you explained superior to people. Because some people don't get to understand that. I understand that completely because my school's chorus signs up for music competitions every year. Not only do we get placed, but we also get ratings. We got first place for every category (Except for girls show choir, who got second place. But only because our school's mixed show choir got first place.) Along with all of us got the rating of superior. Even the second place girls show choir. Even other schools that were in the smaller places got superior.
I got a question. You have vice for each of main 6. Maybe Starlight as 7th. Are each vice different corresponding to one of 7 sins? If so than maybe elements of harmony after learning original type healing for example, can make anti element as the same. Pro and vice un one element is opposite to the anti but reversed.
I would see Pinkie Pies vice as Gluttony, and her second vice as Wrath... here's the reason... most of the time, has Pinkie Pie been seen to eat anything when said moments occur? I know for myself, I have the same issue, I love food, my vice is Gluttony I can admit it, but if I don't have food, or if I am hungry, I am a person governed by my emotions as well, and I am not the nicest of people when I am hungry. The reason I say secondary is because you see Pinkie Pie being more of a glutton then you see her well... flip out at some pony, unlike Fluttershy and Twilight who have done so more times than Pinkie... but that's just how I see it.
Ok I'm just asking you know that picture that comes up at the start of all of this guys videos which one would you be pinky the completely in stopeble bad ass that can not be killed, fluter shy the undetectable killing machine , that guy in scooba gear that sneaks up under water , rarity the piro tecnic who blows stuff up, twilight the leader , rainbow dash the fast assassin like the maniac from call of duty ghosts ,or a normal soldier which one would you be?
New key episode for Fluttershy came out last Saturday. I wonder if Firebrand is going to review it. He's already done all of them except that one. Hmm?
Party planning is definitely a real business, and Cheese Sandwich probably charges for most of the parties he does. It's his job; his career. By contrast, for Pinkie it is clearly a ministry; a calling. She doesn't appear to charge for parties often, if at all, and seems to pay for them out of pocket. My guess is that she receives donations. I don't think Cheese charged for this party because it was his way of trying to impress the pony who inspired his career choice to begin with. But he probably normally does have quite a hefty fee.
Finaly, someone who agrees with me! Everyone keeps saying how everypony were jerks to Pinkie, but the only time in the whole episode where anypony said anything that sounded like "Cheese is better than Pinkie" was when RD said "Pinkie Pie's parties are fun and sweet and all, but this party's gonna be (epic)", but up until Pinkie backed out it always looked like Pinkie and Cheese were going to work together. RD was looking forward to a party planed by both of them. Before the song, Pinkie even said "A pair of party planners in Ponyville? What could be more perfect?", which not only insinuates that they were both going to plan the party, but that Pinkie was excited for it. That right there would tell her friends that she was as excited as the rest that Cheese was there, so they weren't expecting it to bother her so much. Also, people keep complaining that Cheese should have said something sooner to Pinkie instead of just trying to take over, but he never once put her down as a party planner, nor did he ever say he should be the only one to plan the party. All of it was in Pinkie's head, and if she had just talked to somepony about it, they could have cleared up the misunderstanding easily
One of the great things about this episode is that, even if you didn't know going in that Weird Al was involved, and you didn't catch on, the episode is still a laugh riot. My first viewing was when I was marathoning the show just a little while back...and even as a huge Weird Al fan, I didn't catch onto it being him until he started polka medley'ing the Smile Song. It made the whole episode even funnier in hindsight, but that's not to say it wasn't funny even without knowing about his involvement.
if u really like music battles, do a video about it compare the scene that u showed in this video with the mlp battle in Rainbow Rocks (plus the songs)
OMG!! You used Dare to be Stupid from the Transformers Movie!!! lol. I found this episode to be hilarious, but I didn't quite get what Pinkie thought her mistake was when she said it.
hey josh did something happen to the fob equestrea site? the link on the fob Equestrea channel and the one in the description of this video lead me to a server not found message is it just a problem on my end or did something happen to the site?
band battles? almost like battle of the bands. the rainbooms mascot was a rainbow alicorn. the dazzlings own was the sirens. so its something like this
This is my first time watching this video and I love the way he stays positive and true also when I watch 3 more of his videos I might subscribe to him depending on this ideas
I really liked how at the end Cheese said that it was Pinkie who inspired him and he wanted her to be impressed with him. It explains why he showed off the way that he did, but because Pinkie was unaware of the situation, she thought he was trying to take her place. In the end, Cheese got to live out his dream of throwing a party with the pony he idolized.
You totally forgot to mention how Cheese was actually also trying to impress Pinkie, because when they were both still kids, Pinkie threw this amazing party that Cheese was caught in, and loved the party, and wanted to be like Pinkie.
This is the best development we've seen from Pinkie since Party of One.
This is the episode that finally broke me into becoming a Brony.
Congratulations! :D
Welcome to the herd, and remember, Dare to be stupid!
@Jay Smith I dare you to make friends with mash potatoes
zeldaed123 For me it was Too many Pinkie's
Dude if you watched from episode 1 to this you've been a brony
And third, the town & re-mane 5 DIDN'T abandon Pinkie. It was shown multiple times that they wanted BOTH Pinkie & -Weird--Al- Cheese Sandwich to headline the party. It's also perfectly normal to celebrate on a renowned guest when they graciously offered to throw a once-in-a-lifetime party for you.
The hidden aspect I saw is more exploration with Pinkie's issues with abandonment, it was great to see this revisited after Party of One & Too Many Pinkie Pies.
This is now my funniest MLP:FiM episode ever.
P.S. I'd really like to see Firebrand's list of all the Mane 6's Virtue & vice sometime.
It was? When?
First, RD said "so what do you say, party PLANNERS" plural, as in both Pinkie & Cheese.
Second, Twilight asked Pinkie if she's gonna help Cheese with planning the party, meaning she expected they both would work together.
Third, the remane 5 stopped Pinkie from moving away & RD enforces nopony could replace Pinkie as Ponyville's permanent party planner & Cheese was just a guest planner.
Granted they were over-excited with Cheese but who wouldn't in that scenario?
Okay, granted on all that, but they didn't really stop to think about how sad and left outPinkie Pie might have really felt.
Well, actually, Twilight did. She must have had a Princess Sixth Sense go off reminding her of the events of Party of One and, sensing a sick case of that happening again, was the reason she went to check up on Pinkie. Even then, seeing Pinkie's behavior in trying to hid how upset she really was, Twilight knew that she and the others had hurt Pinkie's feelings again, but this time, Pinkie was struggling to avoid letting Pinkamena out as she only wanted to ensure that if Rainbow and the others were happy, then she was too.

"And I know this because I take this sow way too seriously."
... Do I need to say it?
"HE SAID IT! HE SAID IT!"
Hoping this doesn't sound mean to say, but yes, party planning is a career in the real world. Granted in the real world only the super rich use them often while everyone else only on special occasions. However like a few people have already pointed out, emotions have supernatural powers in this world and it could be that what Pinkie does is considered a public service. A ponyville full of negative emotions might actually be dangerous.
I know this is a little late, but still.
Now, let´s see, we´ve got the Mane Six AND Spike living in Ponyville, and
- Spike is friends with the leaders of the dragons and changelings respectively.
- Twilight is among the most powerful magic-users we´ve seen thus far.
- Rarity has connections in high society and is a well respected fashion designer.
- Pinkie Pie is, well, Pinkie Pie.
- Applejack and her family appear to be spread out to all corners of Equestria, and who knows what they´ll do if AJ needs their help with something.
- Rainbow Dash is the fastest flyer in all of Equestria.
- Fluttershy is friends with a sea serpent, a manticore, has caused a full-grown dragon to cry and defeated a cockatrice in its own game. Also, Discord.
Conclusion: A Ponyville full of negative emotions is dangerous.

"Pinkie has serious issues."
YOU DON'T SAY.
I think it's safe to say all Equestrian Party Ponies are required to have cosmic powers
Earth magic telling earth ponies like AJ how to take care of their crops...
You mean the reason AJ talks to trees the way she does is because, in her case, they talk back?
maybe it's only with crazy 4th wall breaking earth ponies which is the exact opposite of Applejack
I was thinking it was something more like an instinct if where to plant the crops and how much to water them ECT.
This has to be a one of the best episode in mlp history
Zach Stolpa. your youtube icon is the best in history.
Zach Stolpa I hate this episode
Did anybody else find the town abandoning their friend again bothersome?
seriously i was like "really rainbow, you're just gonna ditch your friend who promised you the best party ever and you leave her for a pony you just met and said their work was better after 50 seconds of seeing them".
***** I acknowledge he brought it up.
Christopher Kelley
Still, it wasn´t really nice for everypony to leave Pinkie behind, they knew she was making a Party for Dash and I thought it was a slap to Pinkies face..

Funny how life works isn't it
These sandwich said that he is a professional party planner! That's how he gets paid!
I'd love to see Cheese Sandwich return in season 9.
2:15 no, her vice is a deep seated feeling of not being good enough that is why she is completely shattered if it seems like no one is enjoying her parties, like she says all she really needs is a smile smile smile from these happy pony friends of hers.
I watched this episode not knowing who Weird Al was at first. I'll always know him as Cheese Sandwich, not "Weird Al pony", since I'm not much of an Al fan.
Al's music is GOOD, but I never knew who he was 'till after the episode.
Deathtothem,
ME TOO!! I had no clue who Weird Al is 'til I saw videos talkin' 'bout this Episode.
Dare to be Stupid is my favorite Weird Al song!
Reviewers like you are certainly interesting. Keeping most/all episode positive while keeping on the serious side.
and that is why I place Josh as number 1 as a brony reivewer. cause he balances best with the episodes of what is good and what is bad and give reasons as to why. heck, he could give Digi and Voice of reason a run for their money.
You just said "Devil Went Down to Georgia."
I love you.
Wait a sec... JOSH HAS PLAYED RHYTHM THEIF!? WOOOO HOOOO!!! Great, now do a countdown with it...
Josh plays Rhythm Thief? Holy shoot, this is awesome
The reason why people think that Pinkie's friends were being inconsiderate is because they didn't even seem concerned. I'm just glad that they apologized to her. After all, this episode was handled better than then episode "Four's a crowd", from "Sofia the First". I know I've said this a lot, but I just can't shake the feeling that the writer tried to make Sofia look like the bad guy when her friends didn't even stop to consider how she might feel. Heck, they didn't even apologize. I'm just glad that the writer for this episode didn't make that mistake.
*smiles* and once again, Josh has proven to be the best brony review/analysis in my book and he really has good points. I hope Voice of Reason sees this cause Josh can challenge his reasons and I really am hoping they do a review together sometime in the future. That and I hope Voice sees it to understand reasons as to why Twilight and the others ignored Pinkie in the episode and does not take it against the episode. so this episode really was a good one compare to Rainbow Falls. Thank you Josh (aka Fire Brand).
i honestly think rainbow dash is really shallow. think about it. she always ditches one of her best friends for something she thinks is better.
Weird Al has played villains in other shows.
I mean, look at the symptoms, pinkie does seem to suffer from mania
I have a different perspective because I did not know who Weird Al was before this show.
So Pinkie Pie is basically any fan in a nutshell
This was published on my birthday
I like to think that ponys give Pinkie party things (cupcakes,balloons, banner) for free. After all, ponys seem to be generous, and they get a free party.
Let me just say, that it was very fortunate Cheese Sandwich's cutie mark was an actual cheese sandwich. Imagine if it was literally anything else
Weird Al all the way! /)
Although it was one of the saddest moments of MLP for me when Pinkie was broken down that much...she's my favorite pony after all and I can totally relate to her :/
My life was complete too when I saw this episode. Yet I am still living, So Keep the crazy Comin'. Also, Pinkie Pride in my 2nd favorite episode with slice of life BARELY (ALOT of stress on Barely) Making the top. what took the cake in slice of life (pun unintended) was the Vinyl and Octavia music duo. The combined two aspect of music that is from the present (Vinyl) and the past (Octavia) (past isn't meant to be rude, it mans it was more common in the past) and joined them. I always like history, Especially war and strategies. but i always liked the present for other things. I take the saying "Those who don't know History are Doomed to repeat it." or something. That was alot longer then i intended it to be.
4:27 He's one of the bad guys in 'Wander over Younder'
And Gravity Falls Season 2 Episode 13
When you started screaming about Ritalin at the beginning, I may or may not have screamed a little.
Best random sound blip of the century! Don't know what I mean? Just press "0" to return to the very start of the video and listen. Spam "0" if you have to.
"Taking Pinkie's Pride Too Seriously"
If you really did take it too seriously... you'll inflict self-injury :P
Devil went down to Georgia. I love that song.
I would definitely agree that gluttony is not Pinkie's downfall vice. With the exception of eating too much fudge, it never does slow her down. Additionally, she has shown a great level of self control when she was guarding the cake (opposed to outright eating it) in the train mystery episode. Good video overall.
"This episode was energetic to say the least"
Me: That's what you get from weird Al! (Btw I'm not trying to be rude to you or weird Al cause I love both of your work)
Cheese Sandwich comes back in Season 9...
Weird Al voiced that guy?! Holy shit that's awesome!
No I don't think Twilight was aware of what Prinkie was going through, Twilight has never shied away from giving advice (even when its unasked and unneeded)
And no, her friends abandoned her party at the drop of the hat, so of course she hid her feelings, she didn't want to come across as being a jerk, they should have been a bit more considerate of her feelings.
I'll be honest other then the Goof Off I didn't like this episode. Pinkie already had the party for Rainbow planned and for Rainbow and the rest of the main 6 to suddenly let Cheese Sandwich start planning one was a real dick move. I mean lets be real if I had a friend planning a party for me already and suddenly this highly talented party planner suddenly appeared I'd turn him/her down without a second thought because accepting him/her would be betraying my friend which was what the Main 6 did and because of that I just couldn't enjoy the episode.
I also hate this Episode. But you know why Dragonxking? What Pinkie happened, happened to me once. And I´m not joking.
wolfman19851 Ouch sorry to hear that.
dragonxking24
It´s okay. Still thanks for your words
dragonxking24 I completely agree. Anyway, why would people be mad at Pinkie for her actions in Goof Off, because that's basically how ANYONE would've reacted.
"RITALIN! THIS EPISODE NEEDS RITALIN!" That opening line left me in stitches! XD
0:51 I never saw that. Then again I was never introduced to weird al. The weirdest song I listen to is Chewy fingers
2:30 or she had a experience made her emotions unstable. Or born like that. NOT THAT I KNOW ABOUT THAT FROM EXPERIENCE!
OH MY GOD ITS PRIDE GLUTTNY AND WRATH ALL FULLMEATLE ALCHEMIST FANS HIT THE DIRT HIT THE DIRT
Actually, pilot 5 just gave us a new Party Pony, named Party Favour.
Eponey Cheetah Yeah, i wonder what happened to him?
(P.S. i ship pinkie x party favor!)
To me this episode shows pinkie as a 3-dimensional really well. Most of the time you see pinkie performing her element of laughter during the show. I'm glad that this episode goes against her element showing that she has more than one emotion. Who's element are they going against next. Can't wait
I actually had an idea for an mlp fan game called "my little pony before friendship was magic." And it takes place before the series began. One of the characters I made is Sunshine Doodily who is a party pony (and Pinkie's soon to be Grandma).
@0:53
Not even a minute in, and I got some context for you...
The fact that I was in a metaphorical void when it came to Weird Al (I didn't follow him, but some of his voice and songs had a familiar ring to it), listening in on his voice work and singing really made it a nice contrast to what we've already heard. I never heard Weird Al in this episode (Mainly because I haven't heard Weird Al that much, if at all), but just Cheese Sandwich doing Polka, which worked in the 'mirror to element of laughter and fourth wall shenanigans' sense. Not bad huh...?
Yay, I really don't know too much about who Weird Al is!
how dare you!? Weird Al could bring Atheists and Christians together for polka parties! Weird Al died for your sins and then came back to die for more of your sins! Weird Al stopped the apocalypse! twice!
Okay
Weird Al is our lord and savior.
Charlotte, will you accept him into your heart?
Charlotte Shewchuk Neither do I. I just learned about him today (not including the subtle references scattered around), but he is reeeaaally awesome from what i've seen (and heard).
+Charlotte Shewchuk Don't feel bad. Just listen to some of his music. You'll see why people love him so much.
Your childhood survived Weird Al being a bad guy in Gravity Falls...
Is that dare to be stupid by weird Al in the background in the video that’s cool
Also during the goff off there was a little "tune" that had "all I want to do is have some fun"
"I don't think my childhood could take having Weird Al as a villain." Just wait until you see Batman vs. Robin.
The part about Letting her friends find out at 4:48 . that might actually be a good thing because if someone tells you the answer you are most likely to forget it as a talk with a friend. It is better because if you learn something yourself your brain will put it under "don't do this" or "this is what might be happening"
"Ritalin Ritalin this episode needs Ritalin!" XD perfect description
LOL when I turned on the captions to see what you said in the beginning, it said
"ON RED LION AT SUBSONIC MEETS RED LION" XD
the way i see it they get their party supplies as gifts as a way of saying "thank you for all the joy laughter and glee you've given us"
"I don't think my childhood can have Weird Al be a bad guy".
Mr. Scorcher, you got a 12 o' clock appointment with Dr. Screwball.
Great review as usual, Josh.
BTW, in case you were wondering what was Pinkie singing in spanish, it was a traditional mexican song used when someone's about to hit the Piñata. It's literally translated to: ''Hit it, hit it, hit it, don't lose your aim, cause if you do, you'll lose your way''
Props on the devil went down to georgia reference. I'm now picturing a pony version of charlie daniels challenging discord to a fiddle duel.
My take on this episode; the story on this one was certified "MEH", with the end being the real selling point ("Pinkie's Lament!?" Are you F#$%ING me!?) On the other hand, the humor more than made up for the lacking story. In my humble opinion, one of the funniest episodes yet. I think I have a new favorite Pinkie episode.
0:15 What did he say, it sounded like Ritillin or Riddle it
I think "ham-to-ham musical battle" is my new favourite phrase.
+FOB Equestria Rhythm Beat? Nice! +45 Obscure Popculture Reference Points for you man! I know it's not that obscure, but it definitely earns you mad points in my book.
A little headcannon-y but I tend to think that each pony is unique. So while Cheese Sandwhich is great at throwing huge epic parties, Pinkie Pie is more suited for sillier parties on a less grand scale. And when she has do larger events her party style still shows through hence the chicken dance at a royal wedding.
I enjoyed this review/talk/discussion immensely, though I guess its cuz my love for this episode is waaaay up there
I like that Cheese Sandwich actually had Weird Al his polka music. Also noteworthy is that they put a reference out to Al's polka covers.
I love how you explained superior to people. Because some people don't get to understand that. I understand that completely because my school's chorus signs up for music competitions every year. Not only do we get placed, but we also get ratings. We got first place for every category (Except for girls show choir, who got second place. But only because our school's mixed show choir got first place.) Along with all of us got the rating of superior. Even the second place girls show choir. Even other schools that were in the smaller places got superior.
I think the mane six are slowly getting love interests pinkie+cheese twilight+flash sentry
I got a question. You have vice for each of main 6. Maybe Starlight as 7th. Are each vice different corresponding to one of 7 sins? If so than maybe elements of harmony after learning original type healing for example, can make anti element as the same. Pro and vice un one element is opposite to the anti but reversed.
You are now my favorite brony. There is no way out of this number one spot. Congrats.
I know this is an old video by now, but I think you should do an analysis video covering the virtues and vices of the main six.
I would see Pinkie Pies vice as Gluttony, and her second vice as Wrath... here's the reason... most of the time, has Pinkie Pie been seen to eat anything when said moments occur? I know for myself, I have the same issue, I love food, my vice is Gluttony I can admit it, but if I don't have food, or if I am hungry, I am a person governed by my emotions as well, and I am not the nicest of people when I am hungry. The reason I say secondary is because you see Pinkie Pie being more of a glutton then you see her well... flip out at some pony, unlike Fluttershy and Twilight who have done so more times than Pinkie... but that's just how I see it.
XTestament "You're not you when you're hungry, Eat your Snickers."
To quote TF Animated: "I am Wreck-Gar, and I DARE to be stupid!"
Ok I'm just asking you know that picture that comes up at the start of all of this guys videos which one would you be pinky the completely in stopeble bad ass that can not be killed, fluter shy the undetectable killing machine , that guy in scooba gear that sneaks up under water , rarity the piro tecnic who blows stuff up, twilight the leader , rainbow dash the fast assassin like the maniac from call of duty ghosts ,or a normal soldier which one would you be?
Truthfully its rainbows fault she said pinkie could do her party but when someone new came she let them do it instead
New key episode for Fluttershy came out last Saturday. I wonder if Firebrand is going to review it. He's already done all of them except that one. Hmm?
5:55 Young Derpy! Mind has been blown
4: 27 i'm guessing you wouldn't like wander over yonder(and another i'm forgetting.)
Are you going to do any more Reviews?
Party planning is definitely a real business, and Cheese Sandwich probably charges for most of the parties he does. It's his job; his career. By contrast, for Pinkie it is clearly a ministry; a calling. She doesn't appear to charge for parties often, if at all, and seems to pay for them out of pocket. My guess is that she receives donations. I don't think Cheese charged for this party because it was his way of trying to impress the pony who inspired his career choice to begin with. But he probably normally does have quite a hefty fee.
Finaly, someone who agrees with me! Everyone keeps saying how everypony were jerks to Pinkie, but the only time in the whole episode where anypony said anything that sounded like "Cheese is better than Pinkie" was when RD said "Pinkie Pie's parties are fun and sweet and all, but this party's gonna be (epic)", but up until Pinkie backed out it always looked like Pinkie and Cheese were going to work together. RD was looking forward to a party planed by both of them. Before the song, Pinkie even said "A pair of party planners in Ponyville? What could be more perfect?", which not only insinuates that they were both going to plan the party, but that Pinkie was excited for it. That right there would tell her friends that she was as excited as the rest that Cheese was there, so they weren't expecting it to bother her so much.
Also, people keep complaining that Cheese should have said something sooner to Pinkie instead of just trying to take over, but he never once put her down as a party planner, nor did he ever say he should be the only one to plan the party. All of it was in Pinkie's head, and if she had just talked to somepony about it, they could have cleared up the misunderstanding easily
I can't seem to find that pinkie keen video he talks about at first, can someone send me a link?
They get played to plan parties . DUH .
"I don't think I could take Weird Al being a Villian." (Insert Teen Titans Go: Two Parter).
"I think Celestia is starting to rub off on Twilight."
Well, that's terrifying, especially when you consider what's scheduled to go down in season 9.
One of the great things about this episode is that, even if you didn't know going in that Weird Al was involved, and you didn't catch on, the episode is still a laugh riot. My first viewing was when I was marathoning the show just a little while back...and even as a huge Weird Al fan, I didn't catch onto it being him until he started polka medley'ing the Smile Song. It made the whole episode even funnier in hindsight, but that's not to say it wasn't funny even without knowing about his involvement.
if u really like music battles, do a video about it compare the scene that u showed in this video with the mlp battle in Rainbow Rocks (plus the songs)
What's Twilight's virtue and vice, Josh?
OMG!! You used Dare to be Stupid from the Transformers Movie!!! lol. I found this episode to be hilarious, but I didn't quite get what Pinkie thought her mistake was when she said it.
Am I the only one who just noticed the woman who says "Starbursts, unexplainably juicy" sounds like Amethyst from SU?
hey josh did something happen to the fob equestrea site? the link on the fob Equestrea channel and the one in the description of this video lead me to a server not found message is it just a problem on my end or did something happen to the site?
I never heard of Weird Al before this episode, so I never thought it was a Celeb Pony.
band battles? almost like battle of the bands. the rainbooms mascot was a rainbow alicorn. the dazzlings own was the sirens. so its something like this
This is my first time watching this video and I love the way he stays positive and true also when I watch 3 more of his videos I might subscribe to him depending on this ideas
I cheese sandwich dare to be stupid.
