And the fact she grabs the scroll by her mouth instead of her magic

The real lesson of this episode is to always follow science, but never question Pinkie.


20:07. Congratulations! TWILIGHT SPARKLE HAS EVOLVED INTO TWILIGHT DASH!


22:12 Celestia’s like: “Hi, Spike, just dropped in to pick up this letter.”


I love how this episode shows there are some things in life that cannot be explained by science. Don’t get me wrong, I do love science. But it can’t explain everything about our world. <br>I also find it interesting that there IS proof that pinkie’s method worked, we see it throughout the episode. We just don’t understand HOW it works. Science is still in the process of discovering new and amazing things, that doesn’t mean those things aren’t true now. It’s important not to cross off possibilities, especially ones that have been shown to work.

Applejack is the most mature of them all.

@@alexthehomboi And that's why she is so boring, I don't want her as my friend.

Actually I'd honestly say that- underneath all her dramatics and exaggerations and OCD, anyway- Rarity is likely the most mature of them. Applejack is certainly second most mature of the six, though.

Surprisingly, I'd say Pinkie is third. I don't know where to rank the rest, but they'd be below Pinkie.

@@ChiropteraNightfall same, but no matter what, Rainbow Dash is always 6th (or last).

Hello~ Seasoned MLP fan here stopping by. It's a nice way to go back and rewatch them all again.

(Been watching since 2011)

Even though you probably already figured it out; but Twilight can't teleport them at this point; she isn't strong enough yet. If she were to try, she probably wouldn't be able to teleport all 4 of them at once and probably would use up/burn up her magic supply and would've became useless. Magic takes time to strengthen in skill and power; like in any tale involving magic.


It doesn’t matter who the hell you are<br>Don’t. question. Pinkie. Sense

It doesn’t matter who the hell you are
Don’t. question. Pinkie. Sense


I love how there are people that are like, "I'd like to visit Equestria".  And I'm like, "No.  You don't want to visit Equestria.  It's an inconceivably dangerous place.  You could die literally because a pink pony starts twitching".


Also this is the episode where the show basically tells us all, 'It's Pinkie Pie.  Don't question it'.  Ok, to be fair, there is an actual lore reason why Pinkie Pie has the Pinkie Sense and why it works.  But it's more implied, and not something that comes up until way later in Season 4.


The episode that Twilight became a mini Sunbreaker. Lol


I have really mixed feelings about this episode. The comedy in it is all top notch. It's legit one of the funniest episodes. But the way they write Twilight as a strawman of a skeptic is really off-putting.


Ah this episode
I hate how they phrased the moral here. It was an excellent moral, but I imagine to those unused to or unable to look beyond the phrasing, it is definitely a "Religion good, science bad" style moral. And considering the target audience is rather younger...

The episode itself though was fun. Nothing too great, which combined with the moral's phrasing makes this one of my less liked episodes of the show, but it wasn't a bad episode by any means.

...Edit: Why does no one comment on the soapbox scene?

“Religion good science bad”   I don’t think that is the message at all… I think the message is that you don’t need to be able to explain things just to believe in them.  Learn to trust friends and just because you don’t agree doesn’t mean it isn’t very real or very important to that other person.

@@MelodySharp. I think that's definitely the intended message, yeah

But I've seen other reactors- and I see it too- get the wrong message, and they definitely could have made it more clear. I like the message they intended, I don't like how it can easily be interpreted in such a skewed, strange way.


The lesson is there are things in life that can’t always be explained with science, you got to believe in order to understand.


I am split on this episode. The story is kind of wonky. Though the humor is on point. Also why didn't Twilight teleport?

the moral was supposed to be, look at the evidence around you and don't think you already know the answer, in the show it was badly shown and it looked like and felt like the moral was, the answer you already know is because it makes sense, but not everything makes sense so you can belive things without evidence, the writers admitted it was badly portrayed, and two wasn't strong enough, or at least didn't belive she could teleport all of her friends and herself


7:21 Hey, that's my list! (was up to the point when Fluttershy went down the ranks)


The maddening thing is that it was a decent episode that just completely tripped over the moral when it was so close to better one. The slightest tweak makes it pro-scientific method.

Twilight isn't wrong for showing skepticism, but for letting her pet hypothesis blind her to the empirical evidence around her. She spends the episode getting hit in the face with actual evidence and ignoring it because she thinks she knows the answer already, instead of doing an actual honest investigation

Instead the moral turned into mess that looks lije "skepticism=bad" (which the writers later claimed was not at all what they were aiming for).

@@alexthehomboi i genuinly had an hard time trying to understand the Acronyms


Sheesh...Pinkie Pie is f---ing sadistic. I know there's not too much going on in that head of hers, but couldn't she at least have had the presence of mind to notice how badly hurt Twilight was? Instead of just smiling at her and telling her she didn't want to ruin her friend's fun why didn't she ask if she was okay? This episode just painted a big red bullseye on Twilight and told the universe to punish her. She didn't stand a chance.

this episode just painted a pony's heart black


I love Pinkie Pie for being insane like me.


Finally, someone who doesn't particularly find this episode funny. A rare breed. I can't believe how mean-spirited this episode was.

the moral of the story is just stupid. Of course you should NOT believe in things that are scientific nonsense. They shouldn't teach children such a stupid thing.

to me it's funny ! don't be ridiculous guys 🙄🙄🙄

No offense but i think you might have misunderstood the lesson behind this episode and its meaning

@@silentshadows2963 It seems like most of all the focus of the episode was on punishing Twilight. She wasn't unlikable enough to deserve what happened to her. Opinion: She was just trying to observe Pinkie Pie's behavior and if Spike was really her friend he could have done more to try to get her out of harm's way. Eg: Tell her there was a swarm of bees or try to get a crippled Twilight out of the way if he thought she was in harm's way. I hated Spike and Pinkie Pie way more than I did Twilight in this episode. I think Dave Polsky and Lauren Faust forgot this was supposed to be a kid's show when they made this episode and that he wasn't writing for South Park.

If you like this episode and think I'm overthinking it that's your right but what I can say is that the show got better after Faust left and Polsky's writing changed for the better after his two season one attempts. And sorry if my message is getting too long.

@@derbettnasser4027  Not everything has scientific explanation.

I find this episode funny in the same way I find Looney Tunes funny. But yeah they really botched the handling of the lesson here. If Twilight accepted that other people believe something she doesn’t believe in, at least that would be a decent lesson, but having her just believe in it herself with no logical reason that makes sense for her character, that just seems like the lesson is that you should believe in things regardless of whether there’s any explanation just because you feel like it, which is a stupid moral. Even if that wasn’t the intention, most kids are going to interpret it that way and that’s what is frustrating about this otherwise enjoyable episode

@@jordandwiggins1026 The way I see it, she just wasn't unlikable enough in the episode. To her scientific mind, the "Pinkie Sense" didn't make sense; I agree. But the episode seemed to want to punish her right from the moment she chose not to believe in it. She was doomed as soon as she said "two coincidences in a row are more likely than twitchy tails that predict the future". She was more dismissive than skeptical and that was her worst crime. She wasn't mean enough or foolish enough to deserve her punishment. That and Spike could've done more to get Twilight out of danger's way if he was really her companion. The way that the episode immediately decides to punish Twilight and the misunderstood moral makes this episode my least favorite. Faust and Polsky have done better.

The frustrating thing about this episode to me, like you said, is that it’s just extremely mean spirited towards Twilight for the terrible crime of....just being a rational person. It seems like someone just got really mad at an atheist and wanted to write an episode mocking them and punishing them and making skepticism look like something only stuck up pricks do. The lesson is literally that sometimes you should just choose to believe something whether there is evidence or not, but as someone who’s believed in quite a few things I was convinced not to believe in, or vice versa, I can say that this is a terrible lesson. If you don’t believe something ridiculous you can’t just choose to believe in it, you have to be convinced to do so. Believing in things without evidence can allow you to be manipulated and cause you to make bad decisions. <br>If Twilight at the end of the episode admitted that based on how much Pinkie Sense was accurate it could be legitimate, even if she can’t explain it yet, and that she shouldn’t care more about being right than finding the truth, that would be an acceptable moral. She can admit it might be true while still wanting evidence to fully believe in it. But her just suddenly deciding to believe in it when she was absolutely convinced otherwise ten seconds before just makes no sense, and it is a harmful lesson for kids to learn.

@@jordandwiggins1026 Well the guy who wrote the episode (Dave Polsky) is a very strong atheist himself and was going for a message of believing in the unexplained and not religion. I know that the episode was based on classic Looney Toons slapstick, particularly Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner (Twilight gives Pinkie Pie the scientific nickname of Pinkius Pieus) but when the coyote falls off a cliff or ends up under a boulder it's because he's punishing himself for his stubbornness and inability to learn that he'll never catch the roadrunner and not for trying to observe a person's behavior like Twilight was doing. I love Looney Toons but for slapstick to work a person needs to do enough to deserve it.

@@ChiSportsNut18 I just think the way the episode handled the lesson could have been done a lot better. I think teaching people not to be over confident and rude just because they don’t believe something is a good lesson regardless of who it’s aimed at, but the way that Twilight just decides to believe in Pinkie Sense without explanation doesn’t sit well with me

Don’t question Pinkie Pie. But please question in things that ain’t based on scientific proofs...


why is everyone being so negative of this episode this is one of my favorite of season 1 i don't think most of those people even really watched the episode nowhere in this episode do they teach children to deny science? i guess people are just trying to find anything negative about the show

They don't teach to deny science but the morale of the story is you should believe in things even if this thing has no scientific evidence. I personally don't think that this is a good moral.<br>And no, I don't hate this episode. In the universe of MLP it makes sense that things don't have to make sense. It's a show with magic and magic creature

@@autismschedule6308 The moral isn't that you <b>should</b> believe in things that don't have scientific evidence, it's that scientific evidence isn't the be all and end all of truth.

This show teaches children not to believe in science but to believe in what they want to believe. WTF?

That wasn't the message behind this episode at all! I mean no offense but i think you might have misunderstood the lesson in this episode

@@silentshadows2963 she literally says "I am happy to report that I now realize there are wonderful things in this world you just can't explain, but that doesn't necessarily make them any less true. It just means you have to choose to believe in them, and sometimes it takes a friend to show you the way."

If you have to BELIEVE, it means that there is no evidence. unless this "friend that show you the way" has evidence of his claim, you should not believe. No evidence no reason to believe, it's that simple.

@@derbettnasser4027 firstly, it's pinkie pie, don't question it, and also, last i rember there are many things in our own world that people choose to believe in, even tho theirs no proof to back it up, it just makes sense to some point, there's not much of a difference here in this episode, and twilight isn't saying you HAVE to believe in such things you don't understand, she's saying you can CHOOSE to believe in them or not, tho at the same time you should always respect others believes and opinions even if you don't fully understand them, and let's face it, I'm sure many out their have believed things that their friends have said even if they make little to no sence just because they make sence (I'm not really sure how to exsplain that last part but still)

an example I can think of that's related to this is, let say you have a friend that's super into astrology. There are YouTubers and individuals in the world that loves meditating with a crystal and read tarot cards. As long as they are not hurting themselves or others, and even if there's no science or evidence to back up anything they say, then we shouldn't be disrespectful to either their hobby or their personality. Skepticism works when people are being tricked or hurt but it shouldn't be used to put others down. You can either chose to believe in it like they do or not, play with it or not. But I get what you're saying, I highly value facts and scientific evidence but this episode is more about respecting differences than about beliefs, and sometimes it's true that people are more open-minded to things when it comes from a friend than a stranger.

In the universe of MLP it makes sense but this Morales are supposed to be relatable in the real world. In this case i don't think it does.

"if I'm not hurting anybody, what's wrong with It?" This people don't live in caves they have computers and are spreading fake news like it's cancer. And yes it's dangerous.

Pseudoscience is dangerous, conspiracy theorist are dangerous etc

Why do you want to believe in things that are clearly nonsense in the first place?

do you know why people no longer live in caves? do you know why we have technology? Because people have stopped believing nonsense. They started doing things scientifically and figured out how the world really works.

That is why there are schools so that everyone is educated and does not believe in nonsense. Technology don't work with believes they work with knowledge.
