In this episode of our beloved cartoon for ages 4-6, we follow the misadventures of a college dropout with a broken sleep schedule who learns how to overcome his crippling fear of failure and commit to a job.

Yeah, this episode was too real, I hate to admit that I relate to Zeph on a personal level.

@@dakotadoyle7573this show has covered communism, racism, slavery, xenophobia, unemployment crisis, willpower crisis, and it's still marketed for 4 year old kids lmfaoo


Honestly, as annoying as Zeph is, I really like the episode, AND its message is definitely one of the best in the series.

Discord may be an obnoxious supporting character (like Rude Rudy from Fat Albert), but he is definitely an angel when compared to Zephyr (at least to Fluttershy) and even Angel Bunny, hence the name. Of course, a little chaos magic allows you to be helpful without any effort.


I just love to see how close (and old) friends Rainbow and Fluttershy are. It's beautiful.

Well, they know each other since the Junior Flight School after all... :J


I love how Fluttershy can handle Discord no problem but her brother... 😂 I'm honestly surprised she didn't have him around to keep Zephyr in check


This episode represents why I love Rainbow Dash's character. People probably see her confidence as too narcissistic but in my pov, sometimes you need to be like that to give you the strength to try and fail. Failing takes confidence so you won't give up just because it's hard. Besides Rainbow, I like Pinkie Pie because she taught me that making people around you happy actually makes me feel even better, and lastly, Fluttershy helps me realize being kind relieves the hatred in your heart.


Rainbow & Zephyr's interactions in this episode always make laugh.

Same. Rainbow's reactions are priceless.

How much I dislike Rainbow, I feel sorry for her.

@@Icy-be5vl why do you dislike RD? Shes awesome

@@Yebzzz.13 She thinks like that but she has a lot toxic moments like she says that feminime things are boring and stupid.

@@Icy-be5vl well not everyone is perfect, just like how rarity can’t enjoy getting herself dirty, or staying dirty for long. None of em are perfect, and RD was always more of a sports person, so it comes naturally. She does secretly like spa’s though.

@@Zal-TheBug And that's the problem, Rainbow is so stereotypical, because of girls like her, people thinks that sporty girls can't like dresses, high heels, balls and other feminime things and I am both sporty and feminime, I have hobbies of both Rainbow and Rarity and for some people this is hard to believe that girl who likes to be elagant, likes to wear everything what is feminime, can also do more sport likes football, yes I play football from time to time and when I wanted to play with some guys, they couldn't believe that girly and silly girl like me can play football, I proved them how wrong they are but still people judge people by style and hobbies and this is toxic.

@@little_miss_sunshine6873 You have right to like Rainbow, that's your opinion.


2 things:
1. This episode showed us that "peeved" is an Equestrian swear word.
2. This means that Fluttershy is the first pony to SWEAR ON SCREEN!!!

@@darthvocrum5719 Rainbow was the last lol but yea

So peeved is not a real swearing word... Oh...

I mean, we also got "flying feather" from Fluttershy, which is implied to be like "flying fuck"

@@michaelbricky Fluttershy, the most cute pony, it's actually funny.


Another great reaction. Personally I think that Zephir is a great character. Not exactly a likeable one but very well written nontheless.

PS: ALL HAIL TO LORD SASSYSHY!

Yup, they modelled his personality pretty well, from the psychological standpoint. He's narcissistic and loudmouth on the outside, to cover up for his inner anxieties and doubts and lack of self-confidence in the inside. He know that he's not that awesome, so he tries to make up for that by his over-the-top appearance.

I agree - I always describe Zephyr as “unlikable but sympathetic”


This is another one of my favorite Fluttershy episodes because it shows off more of her assertive side and that’s one of the best qualities she has in this show. Some times I forget that she is the eldest sibling in her family, not that there’s anything wrong that. Speaking of siblings, her brother, Zephyr Breeze is...an interesting character. I like him, to a certain degree. Though I wouldn’t condone the the way he takes advantage of everyone around him. I still like this episode though. Plus, it was cool to finally see Fluttershy’s parents make their debut.


6:18 Rainbow: "We just had lunch with Fluttershy's parents (who live up in Cloudsdale) and you'll never guess who showed up."
Pinkie Pie then proceeds to guess three different ponies and a donkey, none of who can fly.

Lol, Rainbow said, "NEVER guess who showed up," and Pinkie Pie guess the ponies who would never show up XD


This was a very inspiring episode. I really understand what Zephyr was dealing with. Good thing he's lucky enough to have such a great sister.


This episode can hit some to close to home, the presented situation with breeze us a situation some people faces(I know a very similar case) and his fears are very common. While breeze is not the most likable character the part he played in the episode is really important and overall this episode is one of the more relatable episodes in the show and one of my favorite if not mt favorite season 6 episode. The song is good and motivating, the harmony between flutter and rainbow is great.


I find it so funny when Zephyr says that the "animal communication thing isn't genetic" why would someone's special talent be genetic it's special for a reason...you know what I mean 😆😅


this episode brings 2 very real problems to life. First of course is someone that finishes school and has no idea what to do next or is afraid to make the next step. and people who have a family member that either causes problems or going through them or even both. It can be difficult to figure out what to do with a immediate family member like a brother or sister when they are like Zephyr. I really relate to Fluttershy on this episode. For the last like 7 years my family has had a issue with my sister but instead of free loading its different issues, and its difficult to deal with and full of heartache and frustration. In recent months things got even more complicated with other issues coming in. This episode is a great way to show kids that may have similar experiences that its ok and they will get through it.


This was the episode most aimmed at the young adult audience. Great message delivered by an amazing song.<br>It's my favorite Fluttershy episode.

It's my favorite Fluttershy episode.

So many of them got butthurt about it though ;)

@@bonbonponyLol, seriously? This is supposed to be motivational, they fucking missed the point.<br>It worked for me. My situation is quite different from Zephyr, but I have a procrastination problem. This episode helped me a little, it motivated me to work on my graduation thesis. When I listened to the song I felt guilty, because I knew I could do better.

@@Silver-Arm  There's nothing wrong in procrastination. I'm putting the "pro" in "PROcrastination" myself ;)  The thing is, most people misunderstand what procrastination is and WHY do people procrastinate to begin with, because pretty much all motivational coaches tell them that it's something bad and that they have to do something about it, "swallow the frog" as they say. I know of only ONE person who described procrastination and its causes correctly, and he's definitely not a loser or a slacker: Louis Rossmann, who owns a laptop repair shop in New York. Check out the video about procrastination on his channel and you'll see ;)

@@bonbonpony Thank you, the video looks really interesting


Zephyr Breeze had to hit rock bottom before he could admit to himself that he had a problem.  It's unfortunate, but people like that do exist, and generally their behavior makes people not want to be around them so when they do finally reach their lowest point, their only hope is that someone happens to be nearby, because their previous attitude won't be earning them any friends or favors.  It's sad.


Something I don't understand about this episode is how Zephyr got his cutie Mark when he has no idea what to do with his life or maybe it's just me

I draw but I haven't had much passion for anything lately, so I understand.


Fluttershy's parents assuming Rainbow was pining after Zeph god it hurt ME XD Rainbow reaction was just so accurate tho


I needed this episode I've been struggling with what Zephir was struggling with. Although I was not and am not as annoying as Zeph! I just needed to hear the message "you'll never do anything if you don't try!"


00:42 Yeah, no only stealth brother, but also stealth parents. Fluttershy's family is all ninjas. Probably because of the shyness.
02:00 Yeah, good luck with that :D  Me in my thoughts: "Hey, at least he's not Sven Gallop..." :q
03:30 Hahah yeah, best part of this episode for me ;D  It was hilarious to watch ;D
04:08 Mostly narcissism :q
10:58 Smug Fluttershy is best Fluttershy ;>
11:33 Oh, he just found his new paint brush :)
12:16 Rarity totally looks like Opal in this one :D
13:26 Spike is getting Tom Sawyered ;)  Also, maybe you should change your name to The Pony Whisperer or something? ;)  They repeat after you as if you were doing some Jedi mind trick on them ;)
15:52 They should have introduced him to the CMCs. They would help him find his life's purpose and true talent in no time :J
16:06 Yeah, keep telling that to yourself, Cuzco ;)
16:20 When the Universe gives you a negative feedback to improve your attitude, and you think it's "bad luck" :J
17:04 Invisible Zen master? :J
18:18 Told you, they're ninjas ;) You'll never know when they'll jump at you with their song :J
18:45 Yup, that was a very nice song. I liked it.
18:53 That painting / photo in the background though ;J


Hehe, can’t wait for your next reactions, they are awesome!


Who would have ever thought that Fluttershy would be the one to deliver the first confirmed equestria curse word?

No one actually caught on to it until someone pointed out the reactions to it. Rainbow’s shocked face, Fluttershy covering her mouth and mother covering her child ears


13:51 "Is that-- is that Link?"
With Epona's colors, no less!  And hauling his stash of rupees.


The Totally Legit Recap for this episode is gold. Granted, they pretty much are all gold, but that one has some great points.


Zephyr Breeze is a huge mood once he shows his vulnerabilities.


This is a pretty good episode. Zehper is a good character. Fluttershy is great. The ending is a little rough.


(14:48) Looks like his efforts in flirting with Rainbow have been dashed completely.


12:15 "Oh.  She does not want you touching her."
Lines have been crossed.


I can relate to Zephyr alot I self dout myself alot for a few things I can do but my judgement gets abit clouded because of my disability aswell as me having depression and anxiety. I use to do hair dressing level one and then beauty therapy as a separate course. I wasn't that confident but I passed and I came third in a ballgown competition we had to basically paint on a ballroom mask on our model and although I had very little time to practice because our teacher was not so focused on helping us out back then. I can say despite using purple as a base for facepaint I still painted a mask on top. I'm sorry that I made my model look like a purple fruit but I'm not sorry for trying plus her old prom dress was a purple ballgown anyways.


You're sooo right,life is full of challenges and you never know what is gonna happen,maybe failing or succeding


Next one is gonna be something. I say Season 6 (following Season 5) has the most episodes that can push your buttons.


It is a bit odd for Rainbow "Naps On Any Cloud or Branch" Dash to criticize Zephyr for wanting to take a mid-day nap. XD

Another one for the RD middle name collection :P


1:03 "Oh, she has a brother?  This is like the season 2 finale!"
Except nobody's marrying this brother for a long ass time.

1:03 "Oh, she has a brother?  This is like the season 2 finale!"
Except nobody's marrying _this_ brother for a long ass time.


19:10 "This is gonna be a walkout song if I'm ever in the UFC!"
I'm still waiting for someone to walk out to "Why Can't We Be Friends".  :)


"It's funny you bring Zephyr up"

...but HE brought him up


I just realized when watching this just now now much i can relate to Zephyr Breeze and it scares me


DWK when?  This is one of my favorite TLR's of his.

I'm heading over to that video myself right now. Because lmao

@@ponybroiguess384 That's fantastic news!


(13:53) The hat is an obvious reference, but what he's hauling in his cart is also a dead giveaway.


I don't get it, is "peeved" supposed to an alternate word of something? If so, what is it?


Honestly, I would have just left Zephyr to die if I was Fluttershy. Sure, everypony deserves to live, but he deserves to be homeless (or at least until he starts working seriously), but maybe letting him on his own would show that you should never rely on  relatives for everything. Yes, Zephyr did learn his important lesson, but Fluttershy should have done more to make him learn it.

(I still live with my parents, but only for shelter and transportation. I'm actually a college student, though, and I'm still finding a part time job, but I've been actually looking very hard for one while Zephyr would probably just have given up before even doing so.)

It's a good thing you're not Fluttershy then. Slowly killing her brother would have made her more evil than most of the show's villains. No matter what kind of lesson someone needs to learn, threatening them with death is not a good way to teach them.

@@artimissbarker1690 TBH, I still agree. Maybe I would have been like her if I wasn't an only, but I guess you know my point. And the threatening part is always correct, even if the consequence is not life-threatening or harmful to the learner. I've lived through that a few times (my parents did that in the past, but they obviously did it out of love than anger and despite being a long time, they soon learned from their mistakes and I started improving, even though slowly), which never worked positively, rather making me depend on fear to do the right thing, even today.


Rainbow dash is not the element of loyalty: she gone away twice in the series and let her friends with their trouble, like in Three's a Crowd.


1:51 no there is NOTHING good about him!!!!!


Fluttershy has a brother. I feel sorry for her.


1:08 better question why does he fucking exist


Fluttershy, her family, Rainbow Dash, and all of Equestria would be better off if that fucking loser, bum, moron, piece of shit Zephyr Fucking Breeze never existed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He is worst than Snips & Snails and I never thought I say that
