Video Clip: "Why does life have to be so IRONIC?" Enter: "Because life hate you. Next." Me: *dying*

How to piss off the whole internet and create a black hole in two steps: 1. Say "MLP sucks" or "MLP is trash" on any video EVER. 2. And now you wait. It shouldn't take long.

I personally find One Bad Apple EXTREMELY insulting because when I first moved to the place (which was when I was in 2nd grade) I currently live at and started a new school, I got bullied relentlessly by the same group of people. I tried to tell an adult, but none of them believed me because my main bully was an absolute teachers pet. I ended up having to stand up to them myself, and I ended up getting suspended because the bully tried to make it seem like I was bullying him. It took me having my mom go to the school multiple times and coming close to losing all of her chill towards the principal for anything to happen, yet even then, I ended up just having to deal with the bullying for the rest of elementary school. (Before I ended up getting bullied in 5th and 6th grade before my mom had me switch schools)

Holy shit... I can't believe I never saw the "girls(ponies) are better than boys(dragons)" undertone in that episode.

For the number four worst episode, you mention being pepper-sprayed. Were you pepper-sprayed by a bully?! If the question makes you feel uncomfortable, please don't answer it and mark it as spam.

I can understand why you dislike 'Putting Your Hoof Down' however I feel that there is a purpose to the episode (even if perhaps a bit poorly handled). First of all, I think it serves as a way of showing us that even though Fluttershy is usually very polite and kind (sometimes the point of annoyance), she's bottling up a lot of feelings of anger at the world. If you think about it, almost every time they've ever shown Fluttershy actually being pissed, she tends to go a little over the top. 'The Best Night Ever' is a less extreme example, and 'Return to Harmony' doesn't really count I suppose since she was under a spell. I happen to know (because it's happened to me before), that when you bottle your feelings up, they will come out sooner or later. You'll snap and yell at people for things that normally wouldn't upset you. In my opinion, 'PYHD' was simply Fluttershy's hidden angry side, at it's most extreme. Yes William did basically tell her it was okay to be a dick, but if you examine her I think she has a lot of pent up feelings that she never lets out. I don't recall exactly how the moral was explained, although I would have had it go something like: "Dear Princess Celestia, Today I learned that it's better to get angry sometimes, than to hold it all in until you snap. It's okay to be mad, it's even okay to yell sometimes, but it's not okay to be mean to your friends. Sincerely, Fluttershy" Now that would have made a good Fluttershy based episode.

I think Angel Bunny is high on anyone's top hated pets list

"Take a look at your legacy Chris Savino" oh boy, how hilarious that sounds in hindsight in so many ways.

male Mary sues are called Garry stues.

To be honest, there isn't really an episode I hate in MLP, there are some I like least, and I understand their problems but, I don't think it takes away from what makes the show enjoyable.

Yeah... Rarity and Pinkie Pie blaming Iron Will for Fluttershy's behavior was pretty dumb. Iron Will was just doing his job. He wasn't hoping that Shy would go around and be a bitch to everybody, he just was hoping that she would stop letting other ponies do that to HER. Honestly, Iron Will was the best part of this episode. Kinda hoping he makes a return in Season 5.

"Why does life have to be so ironic?!" "Because life hates you. Next." I'm wheezing XD

While I can't agree with everything on the list, THANK YOU for saying exactly what was on my mind with Dragon Quest. I'm surprised more people don't hate that episode either. And I love Spike too, so it feels like barely any episode does him justice as a character. Also I really don't like The Show Stoppers. I would have put that a lot higher on my list.

Well I'm not a bronie but I don't mind if you are

I dislike a lot of Fluttershy episodes because she learns the same thing every time.

I would put One Bad Apple at number two. One stays the same. Their messages hit way too close to home for me, it is a sensitive subject for me too, Mr. Enter. Every time the show has dealt with the topic of bullying it has infuriated me. Honestly, when most things try to deal with the topic of bullying they infuriate me. Basically, don't ever defend yourself seems to be the go to moral because they are probably just misunderstood. Most bullies don't need a hug, they need the shit beat out of them. But that's just the tip of the iceberg. Both One Bad Apple and Putting Your Hoof Down deal with the concept of getting carried away when standing up for yourself. OBA is rancid because it suggests you shouldn't fight back JUST IN CASE they are totally sympathetic. Also, that telling an adult will always work. I mean, you should speak up before acting I guess, but usually adult interference only makes things worse even if they do believe you. PYFD is worse, because there is absolutely no reason for Fluttershy to go off on her friends like that. Maybe if Rarity and Pinkie Pie had actually been trying to force her to do something she didn't want to do, and she warned them repeatedly to back off, but even then. The sad thing is... you can get carried away with 'counter-bullying'. We've all heard the Nietzsche quote, those who hunt monsters blah blah blah. There is the potential for a GOOD cautionary tale, but no one ever does it justice, going too far one way or the other either by allowing the character to go unrealistically over the line... or not even approach it. It is personal for me... because I did it. During high school I was rancorous and if I saw someone bully someone else... I would give them a taste of their own medicine. I'd rather not go into details... but over developed sense of justice. Most of the people I hurt I don't regret doing it too. They were people who did things like... the pepper spray thing. But as I continued that line of behavior my retribution became more severe and what was required to get my attention became less. For example verbal abuse, I don't care how cruel, mean spirited, bigoted, or obscene, should not provoke a physical response. I feel ashamed for that. But even when someone does something physical, there is an upper limit to how severely you can hurt them while still being right. I exceeded that limit... like... there was a closeted homosexual kid that was an underclassman. Someone put a rock in a snow ball and pelted him in the eye with it, hard enough to knock him out and certainly give him a black eye. I think a good punch in the face is sufficient in that case... but what I did to him wasn't even an 'eye for an eye'. It was more like 'an eye, broken tooth, all left fingers, right foot, and scrotum for an eye'. So it would be good if there was an actual lesson here about standing up for yourself and others but showing restraint when it is needed. We never get that. It is either stuff like this, or like Charles Bronson shooting purse snatchers who were trying to surrender to him and being lauded for it. I choose to base my morality off of Death Wish as a teenager because I got sick of shows like this basically just telling you to take it.

You know, with the CMC getting their cutie marks, I think I've thought of a way of doing it interesting. Maybe have one of them get their mark, have the other two get jealous and compete to get their cutie marks, which almost ruins their friendship. When the second pony has hers, the last one is distraught and is desperate to get hers, with their friendship on the line. In the end, the CMC learns that even that they've found their talent, it wasn't that big of a deal and they learn that their friendship is more precious than getting their cutie marks. Looks like I have a fan-fiction to write.

Putting Your Hoof Down seriously reminds me of Bubblevicious from the Powerpuff Girls except not as good. They both have similar concepts in the most shy and gentle character not being taken as serious as the more aggressive characters, except I think PPG did it better due to the girls job of fighting bad guys and Bubble trying to seriously prove herself, but going overboard and eventually realizing she should be more selective on who she gets aggressive with.

I like to pretend Dragon Quest doesn't exist and that Dragonshy is the only episode to feature a non Spike dragon, leaving the race in mystery. I always envisioned an episode where the dragon from Dragonshy was revealed to be Fluttershy's pinpal and invites her to his hometown, her bringing Spike along to learn about his race. In the end, they learn that not all dragons are brutish jerks while the dragons learn that not all ponies are weak cowards. Spike realizes that he has the best of both worlds and returns to Ponyville happy with that knowledge. Isn't that concept alone a million times better? You could even give the dragons a reason to be prejudice against ponies before realizing they're wrong. Maybe they were once allies and the ponies abandoned them during a war. Dragonshy was a Hobbit tribute, why not another reference, this time to the relationship between Dwarfs and Elves?

I love Putting Your Hoof Down. The only episode I really dislike is Feeling Pinkie Keen because It teaches you that you should not question things that make no sense and just accept them.

I agree with this completely. I actually somewhat relate on Fluttershy in this episode. That's actually an accurate depiction of how a shy person first discovers 'normal' social interaction. Fluttershy is kind-hearted and doesn't understand the boundaries that ordinaries people set (since her own boundaries are so much tighter). So when she tries to unleash herself, she has a hard time to adjust and goes WAY beyond the line.

I feel for the reasons you have given, Show Stoppers deserves a pass. I don't believe it hadn't shown us what their cutie marks will be. Cutie marks aren't achieved from what talents you already have. The Mane 6 all got their cutie marks from *discovering* something about themselves and that is what gets a pony their cutie mark. Applejack left her family to stay with relatives and only got her cutie mark after *discovering* how much family meant to her, with the three apples representing herself, Big Mac and Granny Smith. Rarity tried to use her tailoring talents but only got her cutie mark after *discovering* the gems and with it her inspiration. Do note how her cutie mark is three gems, not a needle and thread or other fashion themed mark. Twilight was always dedicated to her studies but only got her cutie mark after *discovering* her magical potential, which seeing how before she was barely turning book pages seems to have been an unknown power. Pinkie Pie lived with her family on a rock farm but only got her cutie mark after *discovering* the joy in her heart and the desire to share it with everyone. She said it was "a feeling she never felt before", meaning it was something *discovered*. Fluttershy had never been on the ground before that day, so when she met the animals for the first time and realized her strong connection with them it was a *discovered* talent. Rainbow Dash was fast and brash, but it was the first time she had been that fast, so she *discovered* her need for speed. So no, the CMC don't have their *hidden* talents yet. Their natural talents might have something to do with it like in Rarity's case but they have yet to discover that part of themselves which will make their cutie marks come out.

I dunno, I kinda liked the scene where Fluttershy badmouthed Rarity and Pinkie. It showed us what that shy, quiet pony was bottling up inside and decided to tell all those things to them! It was actually a very mature scene, something this show needs more. But, yeah.. I can see why you didn't like that episode. All the ponies WERE acting like complete bitches towards Fluttershy! (something she doesn't deserve... EVER!!!) Also, why didn't you put Spike At Your Service here? That episode was godawful! X__X

I totally agree with you on"one bad apple"episode.I was bullied in elementary school and nobody did jack shit.The most infuriating part(besides what you said about pepper spray, knives and guns)was the fact that bullies were praised for the most minor things they accomplished, like they were babies.For example:bullied kid learnt an extra paragraph for a class?Too bad, it's not enough!Bully learns one extra phrase in a class for the first time, and teacher's reaction is"Oh wow, amazing!"

I know why "putting your hoof down" is not on all worst episode lists, or at least not the top of them. It's all up to a persons interpretation of the EP. I remember hearing a podcast were the host felt a connection to the episode. Not to say she thought that the episode was a good one, or how she liked how the characters was treated in it, but there was a connection. The thing was that Fluttershy was being honest about her feeling, she was also venting pent up anger she had. For an introvert to do that is a big thing, and most often they feel horrible for doing it after. (I know the feeling) The problem this eppside had was that it did not translate this idea vary well. One big this was that Piny and Rarity sould not have cried, they sould have been shocked, confused, and conserd over how their friend was acting. Iron will should have been treated better too.

Honestly I think that Magical Mystery Cure was the worst episode. Why? Because if your going to make a 26 minute long episode thats entirely music, the music needs to tell the plot. If you were to listen to the songs, you wouldn't know wat Twi is doing to fix them. The best you could get from them is- Life in Ponyville doesnt shimmer, Twilight did something wrong, and each pony has some weird new destiny, and Twi does who knows wat to fix them, also, Twi became a princess. My least favorite song fits here too: A True, True Friend. Why? Its catchy? Yes, it is, but all the everypony SOMEHOW knows immeadiatly that "OMG! MY FRIEND HAS HER DESTINY SWITCHED AND NOW I HAVE TO DO SOMETHING TO FIX HER!" How do they know what to do? Its dumb. Also I dont like Allicorn Twi, but tats different. Crusaders of the Lost Mark did ALOT better at this. Just look up "all songs from Magical Mystery Cure" and the same for Crusaders of the Lost Mark. Dont look at the video, only listen.

I'll admit that the moment in Dragon Quest when Spike was bullied for being different and "not being like other dragons" genuinely angers me. I have Autism (on the high spectrum), and as a result, I tend to have parts of me that are different, like me enjoying some things that aren't masculine and not enjoying some things that guys are stereotyped to like like sports. And seeing someone being judged for not exactly being masculine and being different feels awful and can be a bad message to kids. Kids who are like Spike in the episode will feel bad for being different when they may already be bullied. Did the writers not realize that putting in lines like "I'm not like other dragons? Oh not even close. But why would you want to, Spike?" might be a bad idea for a show that kids are gonna be watching and adults (who may have been bullied) might see the episode as well.

How the hell are "The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well" and "Feeling Pinkie Keen" not on this list?

I had huge problems with "One Bad Apple" as well, also due to personal experience. "Oh boo hoo, the bully is excused because he/she was bullied before!" "Oh, standing up for yourself makes you become the bully!" "Oh, why didn't you tell anybody in the first place!" okay, 1. That is not an excuse for bullying someone, in fact it's a cop out and shoulders blame onto the victim, which is easier to do. 2. Well, what else would you expect in order to stop it? It's like that Casey Heynes kid, bullied relentlessly until he finally snapped, and got extreme praise for it. 3. Victim blaming again, what if the adults do nothing and / or ignore the victim? and then have the gall to turn around and blame the victim if he or she takes action?

10: Baby Cakes by Charlotte Fullerton- Agree. 9: Look Before You Sleep by Charlotte Fullerton- Agree 8:Owl's Well That Ends Well by Cindy Morrow- Agree. 7:The Cutie Pox by Amy Keating Rogers- I understand this being on the list for the amount of filler this episode has. 6: The Show Stoppers by Cindy Morrow- I sort of agree. I would have put this lower on the list. Or am I being too generous......no. I would have put it lower. I still like the background music. (The Cutie Mark Crusaders Go Crusading) 5:May The Best Pet Win by Charlotte Fullerton- I still like the song but I understand why you hate it. 4: One Bad Apple by Cindy Morrow-Agree. Helga on the Couch [Hey Arnold!] is an example of how to do a bully story RIGHT! Or the other possibilities you mentioned in your review.But honestly,this episode was One Bad Apple just not half *ssed. 3:Boast Busters by Chris Savino- Agree. 2: Dragon Quest by Merriweather Williams- Maybe should have been in the #4 spot. But other than that agree. 1:Putting Your Hoof Down by Merriweather Williams;story by Charlotte Fullerton- This is my least favorite episode too. It made me smash my TV. I am telling the truth.

You were in a depression for two days after watching an episode of a children's cartoon? I suggest you get some professional help. That's not a normal reaction.

In putting your good down, I sympathize for fluttershy because she had been taking crap for so long.

4.- Canterlot Wedding (both parts) 3.- Magical Mystery Cure 2.- Spike at your Service 1.- Apple Family PERIOD.

I fucking hate that dragon episode because it feels like exploring dragons as a race is completely ruined now. No actual episode about spike learning about his kind, just written off as dumb creatures, for a show in a fantasy world with a ton of mythical beasts it is unbelievable that they have made dragons awful.

Sad thing is I'm a victim of about 3 or 4 or 5 years of bullying, so I can see how insulting the Babs seed moral is.

The moral of putting your hoof down in my opinion is dont listen to what others tell you to do be yourself but stick up for yourself when its necessary not going about it like a bully and that's a valuable lesson in life

Why am I not surprised a video called "Top Ten Worst Episodes of MLP:FiM" has alot of dislikes...

Nostalgia

it really did bother me too in Boast Busters that Rainbow, AJ, and Rarity showed up Trixie when it is her job to show off

I'm going to admit it: I liked Putting Your Hoof Down. But they did take Fluttershy off the deep end and went too far. It could have been tackled with a little more grace. I agree that putdowns based on one's purpose in life are too much. And for Pinkie and Rarity to be friends with her after that is pretty unbelievable. I know the point they were trying to drive home was "You can assert without being an asshole." Making Fluttershy an asshole would have been one thing. But she wasn't an asshole. She was just cruel. And that is my problem with that episode. I still liked it. It just could have been handled better.

I'll make a top best and worst episode list when the series is over. I say that because I'll have to constantly change it. I can easily say Rainbow Falls is on my worst list, and so is Putting Your Hoof Down.

Balance the volume of the songs/series footage with your own voice recording!

I agree with the most part with your words about bullying but there are so many PC brats who will think you're knife-gun bullying them if you say hello to them the wrong way.

I find it funny when adults review made-for-children shows as though they were produced by Martin Scorsese, Stanley Kubrick, Steven Spielberg, and Alfred Hitchcock. I know some episodes are simple (lazy even), but that's the point. They're made to be simple and easier to understand for children. I agree that some of the episodes aren't as good as others, but they're only 20 minute episodes intended for kids. Besides, even adult fanfiction writers fuck up characterization (Double Rainboom). It's very hard to get a character exactly right, especially if the adult viewers are going to scrutinize everything they do. And sometimes an episode's plot might seem forced just to get through the 20 minutes. It's not a movie with months/years of planning and filming. Writers might have a long and detailed plot that they need to cut to fit the time frame. Some elements that might make it seem more natural might simply be too long. I wish this wasn't the case, but it is. Some don't and they have way too much filler, but perhaps a good enough plot wasn't concocted by the time the episode needed to be made. It's possible. Once more, I'm not saying some of these episodes weren't bad (I liked a few), I'm simply saying I find this to be unfair. If you went into an expensive restaurant, ordered off the kid's menu, and gave the restaurant a bad review based on the simple meal you ordered, then you're an asshole. That simple meal was made for a kid who might not want something fancy and ornate, not for you necessarily. You're going about this as though it was specifically made for bronies. It wasn't. Kids can be easy to please, and that's the basic purpose of the show- to entertain children. I love MLP and I love watching it, but some people need to stop taking it so goddamn seriously. It's not Breaking Bad or Game of Thrones. Just watch the ponies do what they do, it's usually (assertive Fluttershy) lighthearted fun.

I don't care for this show, so I can say this at least... Isn't "Putting Your Hoof Down" basically the Season 6-7 of SpongeBob? Having your show's two worst writers make the worst episodes?

I think the ones I disliked the most were The Mysterious Mare-Do-Well [I hate how out-of-character RD was in this episode!], Ponyville Confidential [some of it], Somepony to Watch Over Me, Twilight Time, and Equestria Games [most of it]. I really didn't mind Putting your Hoof Down much to hate it entirely. I think it was because Fluttershy took trying to be more assertive seriously, that's why she acted like that, as seriously harsh as what she said was. But that's just my perspective.

14:46 Wanna know how to do this joke right? In the ninjago episode “home” Zane comes out wearing a pink apron and everyone laughs. It works there because Zane isn’t aware of why they find it funny

Am I the only one who somewhat LIKED the showstoppers?

What about Lesson Zero? This episode is awful the no.1 0.5/10

i agree on you about putting your hoof down THEY MADE FLUTTER SHY THE OPPESETE OF HER TRUE SELF WHY WOULD THEY DO SUCH A THING

Putting Your Hoof Down isn't great, but... I think Iron Will alone at least give it some redeeming value. He was fun and actually did some good in kick starting Fluttershy's backbone developing. It sucks that he got cheated out of being paid from what's effectively a paradox though. Compared to One Bad Apple's black and white perspective on bullying which barely even scratched the surface on how to handle a bully and Dragon Quest's quite frankly racist undertones, I think there's much worse. And that's not even getting into how Boast Buster's is just... awful.

What's worse? Putting Your Hoof Down or One Coarse Meal?

So let me get this straight, you get depressed for 2 days over an MLP episode? Then you are what I like to call a cartoonaboo. Seriously, its just an MLP episode. There are better reasons to get depressed than an MLP episode.

I'm wondering... why are Bronies separated from other fandoms. Sure, it's a child's show, but so is Adventure Time and Steven Universe. I'm not a Brony or a Pegasister, so it's outside looking in. So I personally don't take it much differently.

"I could forgive all of that If it weren't so goddamn boring!" That would have been a surprisingly great opportunity for a family guy clip.

Spike's one of my very favorites.

THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS LIST SO I DON'T HAVE TO.

I agree so hard with your number one. That episode actually hurt my feelings. A lot.

5W)Non-Compete Clause(s8 e9). 5B)The Perfect Pear(s7 e13). 4W)Shadow Play(s7 e25-26). 4B)Princess Twilight Sparkle(s4 e1-2)/Twilight's Kingdom(s4 e25-26). 3W)What About Discord?(s5 e22). 3B)Keep Calm and Flutter On(s3 e10). 2W)The Beginning of the End(s9 e1-2)/The Ending of the End(s9 e24-25) 2B)A Canterlot Wedding.(s2 e25-26). 1W)A Matter of Principals(s8 e14). 1B)Discordant Harmony(s7 e12)

if anyone has tracked down the song used between transitions, let me know. it's been a while since 2013, and i'm liable to forget things.

They actually got rid of owl-licious for good at the end of season 4

I loved every episode on this list. then again there isn't a single episode of this series that I don't love. I guess I'm just lucky like that.

I love how Promise (reprise) is playing in the background for a part of the video. Makes it sound even more dramatic. Although considering the song is on my music playlist that I listen to almost every night to help me fall asleep, it confused the fuck out of me.

These episodes are so bad they not only prove that even Friendship is Magic, an overall likeable show can have more times/episodes of itself being near-unwatchable than it should, but at least one of them (Putting Your Hoof Down aka Not Putting Up With Any of Its Bullshit actually feels like something that is only not too mean-spirited and discriminatory by the lowest standards of Nickelodeon and TLC (at times, but not all the time).

He should totally redo this video now that the show has ended.

I don’t know. “Putting your hoof down” was a Ok episode for me. The characters are jerks not only for the sake of the plot, but also to make and prove a point.

When Number 2's music started, I thought I had Fable Playing In the background.

Your One Bad Apple one surprised me but then I rewatched the episode and realized it was just because of the song that I liked it so much. Thanks for making great reviews :D

Most of your arguments do make sense, although I probably wouldn't have considered any episodes on your list one of the worst. I also wouldn't dump some of those episodes on the list just because their moral has been done before (The Cutie Pox). Sure, it would have been more interesting to have a completely different topic, but that doesn't make it inherently terrible. I didn't look at it this way, but I can see why you would consider the premise for Dragon Quest being hypocritical towards what the show itself stands for. I didn't like the writing simply making all (grown) dragons dicks either to give Spike an excuse to stay the same. (Which was actually already established in Secret of My Excess, but still makes the whole concept of him being Twilight's personal scribe a mess. It either sounds like a bad idea in the first place since he'll eventually get older and become a dick, or it should be implied that there are dragons that stay in their Baby state permanently - but Spike seems to be the exception, since we don't see any other baby dragons.)

The most infuriating thing about the CMC finally getting their cutie marks is that they basically all got the exact same cutie mark for a talent they’d never shown signs of having until that specific episode, and their REAL talents were left by the wayside. That always struck a sour chord with me even years later.

I think rainbow dash having tank as a pet is a reference to the flash and his pet

I'm curious how Enter reacted when the CMC got their marks. That and if he did the redid the top 10 how much it would change.

I'm the only one who hears that Fable TLC soundtrack?

This guy just needs to calm down most of this stuff is kindof eh. He just likes to blow everything out of proportions it's really annoying, but why do I still watch him.

There were a few good things I like in Baby Cakes: The Piggy Dance is a fun a catchy song and Pinkie’s message to Celestia and when the babies said her name at the end

What's the song that plays in the background during Baby Cakes?? It sounds cool and kind of familiar but I have no idea what it is.

Thank god for the Loud House

You know what, I actually understand your criticisms of One Bad Apple, but guess what I did the EXACT same thing as babs did, I know what that felt like, Why did she keep bullying even with out DT and SS being there? It's called upholding a reputation, The Moral? ok yeah that wasn't that good, but..what did you expect? remember this is a show for little girls(I still question how lesson zero got through though) Just because she was bullied doesn't give her the license to do so? yeah, but I think this was used to portray a different moral, a BETTER moral, just because someone is a bully doesn't mean they're not human, and that they don't have problems or reasons to be bullied, and really thats why its one of my favorites, this however probably has no effect on your opinion because the reasons I liked this episode are personal ones but hey, I tried

i have to agree with your view on the bullying moral, since im a bullying victim, but i was always told to ignore them....FOR YEARS

About the babies doing magic, in Cutie Mark Chronicles, it shows a young Twilight struggling to turn a page with her horn. I mean really Hasbro?!

18:00 You got depression over My Little Pony? LOL

I respect your opinions, but really Putting Your Hoof Down isn't really THAT bad.

thank you for the fanfiction link. now if only someone could do somthing similar with all the subpart episode.

"What if the adult says to ignore the bully" You see this is why i feel like Teachers are Useless

Man, why am I the only person who likes The Show Stoppers? It was the episode that GOT me into MLP in the first place and fucking everybody hates it. I love the CMC episodes and everybody always hates them. Uggghhh.

I liked one bad apple because of the story... But the moral was off.

I don't so much "dislike" any particular episode as much as I "find more reasons to like other episodes better" through no fault of the not-as-highly-rated episodes. My least-liked episodes are simply my least-praised ones. If you break down the episode barriers and compare and rank each individual event and character portrayal separately however, then that all changes, as there are several specific things I can't stand, but no one thing or even small number of things truly fully drags any complete episode down in my opinion. And one more thing: G1 is actually quite awesome. Not as much as FiM, but it's still very good. G3, on the other hand, truly is the abomination so many people think it is.

"Have the music sound good but have the characters cringe" But then you'd be like "why are they cringing? The music sounds pretty good".

Am I the only one that hates this show? I see absolutely no redeemable qualities in it, the threat never feels like a threat, the morals are always shoved in your face, the writing and dialogue is substandard, there just doesn't seem like it has anything going for it.

I wonder why people in the comments are asking" Why would anyone like the show?" "This show sucks dicks" (Please dont comment, because I know some 15 year old kid going to come up and talk about bronies and bronies alone, and you all might respond to him) But really, no one cares. It's a show. it doesnt matter if it's for kids or not, people worked hard on these eps (but the writers) and if you keep saying that same stuff. Go to Disney movies and say the same thing. I dont care. because you're all saying the same shit, and it's REALLY annoying

And in fact, the only episode I can safely say that I dislike and/or hate, would be 'Putting Your Hoof Down'. The other episodes in the show range from being average, to being great, at least with me.

Putting your hoof down wouldn't be on my worst list because I pretend it doesn't exist.

I love listening to your reviews. I've been listening to you for as long as I can remember. Just I cringe and feel fucking terrible when you insult the writers. I get it, but my god.

Well, for starters unlike the others this one was mean-spirited from its pre-title sequence, which none of the others claimed. In PYHD, all (and I do mean EVERY) instance of abuse happens only to character who don't deserve it, at all, and some things are just plain piercing (FS getting slapped, and FS insulting Rarity & Pinkie's reasons for living). I didn't see Fluttershy as brainwashed because in all honesty, there was no buildup towards. 2 ponies, now Fluttershy is mean. :/

The irony of the complaints about "Show Stoppers" hits me like a truck after "Crusaders of the Lost Mark" XD It would also seem that Mr. Enter's opinions on "Dragon Quest" aren't as unpopular as he initially thought, as later episodes have gone out of their way to show that yes, there ARE good natured dragons and that not all of them are mean-spirited brutes.

I need to pick this show up again, I got a few episodes into 4 then just stopped. No real reason, I just forgot about it for awhile I suppose.

None, except Dragons Quest, one this list were bad, the worst is Mysterious Mare Do-Well

10. It's still better than most of the episodes on the list. 9. I found this episode to be dull and cliche. Also, I would like to think that Twilight was being naive. 8. The treatment of Spike was awful in this episode, but then there's Opal's toy mouse and some ketchup... 7. Still better than Ponyville Confidential. (yes really!) 6. I find this cheesy, but forgettable all around. By the way Cindy, the CMC aren't stupid... 5. It was supposed to teach Rainbow Dash that the fastest pet isn't exactly the best pet because Tank actually cared. 3. Sadly, one of my favorite Japanese voice actors dubbed Snips... 1. Fluttershy is my favorite pony, but I know that she crossed the line around Pinkie Pie and Rarity.

I can't wait to see your season 4 episode reviews. And I must have gotten information for season 4's premiere from some dumb website, because I heard the first episode wasn't airing 'til mid to late 2014, but it was showed on the Hub just 5 days ago.... :|

i dont know why, but for some reason i've always *hated* any episodes with the breezes. i don't know why, but i do.
