14:45 "Spike, you lucky bastard!"
Being the only creature in town with fingers and opposable thumbs has its advantages.

textDisplay: @Jordan Jaramillo She's in your top 6 at least, right?  :)

textDisplay: @Jordan Jaramillo mine is a tie between rarity and rainbow dash.

7:16 "Why is Spike all of a sudden so incompetent?"
A question many people have been asking about this episode for years.

No one's ever come up with a good answer for that.

textDisplay: Cuz, gender roles. Also some of the staff said before that they felt spike wouldn’t fit into the show, but the writers and such changed that over time.

textDisplay: Because this is Season 3 where everything MLP is at its WORST.

textDisplay: @Stormshadow Productions Jeez that's a bold claim mlp wasn't even bad hear that's just kinda untrue I'm all for opinions but saying mlp is at its worst hear is kinda just a bit wrong (I'm not saying you can't have your opinion just saying its kinda a bold claim to say that but you do you its your opinion)

textDisplay: @Super Sonic let's just say I have very strong hatred towards season 3 of MLP not every episode is bad but 8 of the 13 are all in my top 20 worst episode of MLP

Timber wolf chokes to death

Me (Originally): Well i wasn't expecting that.

textDisplay: 18:29 I think Gilda might have taught RD how to roar like that back when they were going to Junior Speedster flight camp together.


textDisplay: This episode has a reputation of being the weakest of S3, for understandable reasons. I don’t necessarily care for the fact that Spike was poorly written, given that he’s supposed to be very good at what he does (cleaning, baking, etc.), this was just one of those out of character scenarios I suppose. I still look on the bright side of this episode though, there are some moments that are worthy of a chuckle or two and to me, that’s what keeps this episode afloat. In other words, it’s alright.

16:47 Pinkie: "Can I still wear the mustache?"
Will: "Yes, that's a requirement.  We're not doing it if you don't wear it."
Kinky.


textDisplay:
6:07 "That'll be a nice meal!"
For who?  These ponies are herbivores.

Maybe earth ponies trade with griffons?  Or perhaps it's pet chow for the cats, dogs, and baby alligators?


textDisplay: 14:45 We all wish to be in Spike’s place here.

textDisplay: I love this episode, absolute comedy gold.


textDisplay: "When's the last Spike episode we had?"<br>Dragon Quest (s2. e21)

Dragon Quest (s2. e21)


textDisplay: 12:23 Don't mind Spike, he's just laying some pipe.  XD


textDisplay: You may or may not have picked this up, but the scene with Spike throwing a rock into the Timberwolf's mouth is a reference to the Biblical story of David and Goliath, with a few differences.

textDisplay: For one, death by asphyxiation rather than decapitation.  :)

textDisplay: Narrator007 For another, the stone went in his mouth rather than striking him on the head.

textDisplay: @The Black Queen For third, David never been known for being a dragon.

Spike losing social awareness and basic motor skills: the episode.

What could have been a very good episode is now sitting at the bottom of the list. Simply put, every M6 is written great here but Spike isn't. I still enjoy it for everything besides Spike though.


textDisplay: I want to have Spike as my servant.

textOriginal: I want to have Spike as my servant.


textDisplay:
22:10 "Look at (all) the ass on the screen."
It's the circle of ass.  It rules us all.  :D


textDisplay: I want to have Spike as my guard.

textOriginal: I want to have Spike as my guard.


textDisplay:
11:10 Rarity: "Oh what I wouldn't give to have somepony forever in my debt."
Will: "I'll be in your debt."
If by "debt" you mean crotch, then yes.  You probably would be.  :)


textDisplay: As SpacialRend7 already said, this was one of those situations where the writer kinda dropped the ball.  "Character loses all knowledge of how to function for comedy reasons" is one of those things that happens occasionally and annoys the hell out of me, but it's not that big a deal.


textDisplay: congratulation here we have the endangered bad spike episode

textDisplay: I like this episode

textOriginal: I like this episode

textDisplay: @M. Vivar this episode is pure cancer

textOriginal: @M. Vivar this episode is pure cancer

textDisplay: @Big Pauly naa. In this episode we have funny moments of the mane 6, the only bad thing is how usless is spike but is not a bad episode


textDisplay: Applejack said everybody

textOriginal: Applejack said everybody


textDisplay: For me is a good episode. The only bad thing is that spike is usless but that is not very important to the episode


textDisplay: Being that this show was usually racist against dragons it was nice to see they at least know dragon value honor here Spike associates being a dragon with the honor of honoring a life debt, and later in gauntlet of fire Ember doesn't give Spikes friends away presumably because Spike had just saved her life so honor forbade it.

textDisplay: this is the second-worst Spike Episode

textOriginal: this is the second-worst Spike Episode


textDisplay: I didn't like this episode. Spike comes off as stupid. The premise is confusing. The timberwolfs are pretty cool.


textDisplay: This is one of my least favorite episodes because of how cliche it is. The "life debt" trope has been done to death in so many shows, has a very predictable formula, and this episode didn't really do anything unique with it. Still really enjoyed the reaction, though.


textDisplay: While probably the weakest episode of the weakest season, it's still the best Spike episode until like Season 5.<br>It doesn't stand on cringe comedy, and it doesn't revolve around humiliating him, rather showing the honourable side of him and - despite having him written weakly - making him more likable.

textDisplay: Largely regarded as one of the worst, if not, THE worst episode of the series. It may vary now but it's still down there.

textDisplay: Definitely wouldn't call it the worst overall, I can name at least 3 episodes that are worse, but it is indeed in the bottom of most lists (including mine).

textDisplay: I don’t hate it, but there’s little for me to like about it also. It’s just meh for me. Not awful, but close to the bottom of my list given the average quality of episodes in this show is just much higher.
