On "Party Pooped" · 9:20pm Jun 28th, 2015
Well. Fuck yaks, first of all.
I will give the episode this. It added infinitely to the reservoir of freaky Pinkie faces, and that's never a bad thing. Also, return of Cherry Jubilee, which ain't bad. No Cheese Sandwich, though; I thought I saw mention of him being in this one.
And Beatles reference. Friend of mine would appreciate that one.
I have a pretty heavy Pinkie bias, so there's a lot I was willing to forgive. The monologues were a little much (thank god they cut it at three) and the yaks were... well, fuck yaks, but HOLY SHIT THE PARTY CAVE I CAN'T EVEN OH MY GOD.
Maybe this one wasn't actually a winner and the fact that it's Pinkie is clouding my judgment, but I'll leave it to hindsight to sort that out. Plus, it was LEAGUES beyond "Princess Spike," so the comparison makes it that much sweeter. I'll give it a pass, happily.
I'll see you next week for "Amending Fences." I'm excited to see the show further explore Twilight's past in Canterlot and meet her old not-friends. I bet part of it is apologizing to Moondancer for shafting her on her birthday, but it's definitely gonna have the three unicorns who tried to invite her (Colgate, Lemon Hearts, Twinkleshine). Also, new day and timeslot. Weird.
And I'll ALSO see you on Wednesday when the new riff goes public and the next one goes live, so buckle your pants.
Saw this on someone else's blog. Thought you'd get a kick out of it.

3190262 You know... that sounds really accurate. I mean, THIS episode wasn't perfect, but I enjoyed myself watching it. Or attempting to watch it through my vacation spot's negative bandwidth.
Also, I'm stealing this for immediate further use. It's going to a good cause.
I agree. The episode was good to know how Pinkie Pie knows what she knows about her friends and Ponyville in general. And Yaks are bigger assholes then the ones they actually have
The part where Pinkie Pie gets to Yayakistan and back to Ponyville in an afternoon was hillarious.
