What where they thinking with the S8 episode "Yakity-Sax?" It's genuinely the worst episode for MLP:FIM.
>>42873060>It's genuinely the worst episode for MLP:FIM.But enough about the best night ever
>>42873062I think you mean Over the Barrel.
>>42873062>"Let's rape ANOOOOOOON!"
>>42873060SCOTLAND FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I don't get this meme. There are everycreature-6 episodes, fucking anthro dragon episodes and all kinds of shit, and this is supposedly the worst?
>>42873060They were thinking:>"We already did this sort of story where the ponies hide their true opinions / feelings on a matter too often unly to get buttblased for it at the end and have to apologise, so let's make the other way around this time - so that they get buttblasted FOR telling the truth."It was a subversion tactic by Godber.
>>4287306028 pranks later was worse.
>>42873143>characters I really don't care about do things I really don't care aboutmy opinion on the episode: I don't care>characters I really do care about do things I really don't likemy opinion on the episode: seething rage
>>42874208>hating pinkieFreak
>>42873191I don't love the episode or anything but I don't get the hate.
>>42874219I think he meant Pinkie was the one he liked and he felt she was being written super poorly haha
>>42874219>Hating worst pony makes you a freaklolno
>>42873062Bait being convincing, whateva' happened there?
>>42873060>>42873191I too hate fun things.
>>42873060It's not even in the top (bottom) ten. Just off the top of my head, Dragon Quest, Father Knows Beast and Daring Doubt make it look like a flawless masterpiece.
>>42873060They wanted to bring back Pinkamena but without going down a deranged rabbit hole similar to "Party of One".
>>42874259>>42874379>RBD knew not to prank Fluttershy in season 1>she suddenly pranks Fluttershy in one of the most mean-spirited ways possible just so "28 Pranks Later" can happenIf the catalyst had been literally ANYTHING ELSE, the episode overall would've been fine.
>>42873060Feeling pinkie keen was worse.>You are so randumb pinkie pink XDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
>>42874473>>RBD knew not to prank Fluttershy in season 1Headcanon.>28 Pranks Later is the worst episode in the whole show because Rainbow Dash did something a little too mean onceI agree that it's not a great moment, but at worst the episode is just normal bad.Yakity-Sax's badness lasts the entire episode.
>>42874501Little weird to remove the two next lines which include Rainbow Dash immediately getting Pinkie's point without complaint.
>>42874507>Well yes Rainbow Dash WOULD HAVE pranked Fluttershy had Pinkie Pie not been there to tell her not to, but that doesn't excuse the later episode where Rainbow Dash pranks Fluttershy without Pinkie Pie being there to tell her not to
>>42873060Yakity-Sax is just a stupidly annoying episode, like all the episodes with yaks. On the other hand...
>>42874530I haven't watched past S2 why does it look like the Mane 6 are celebrating that this fat fuck is eating all of the gemstones that would of been spikes
>>42874219how was he hating pinkie, retard?
>>42874501It's canon. Pinkie Pie told her not to prank Fluttershy, and she understood why. RBD pranking Fluttershy in '28 Pranks Later' makes no sense after watching this episode and (You) know it.
>>42874560>Father Knows BeastThe less you know about this dogshit episode, the better.
>>42874575I presume by the name the dragon claims to be spike's dad?
>>42874581Correct, but it turns out he was just lying so he could get fed and pampered.
>>42873166>let's make the other way around this time - so that they get buttblasted FOR telling the truth."But Honest Apple was in season 7.
>>42874473>>42874501>>42874507>>42874520>>42874573RD scares Fluttershy as a prank in literally the second episode of the series. It isn't out of character for her, the only reason she didn't prank Fluttershy was because Pinkie was reigning her bitchiness in. So yes, she was always like that, and she would have done it in season 1, because she in fact already DID do it in season 1.
>>42874595>thing that happens in episode 2 is different than what happens in episode 5This is called character development. Season one tried to do some of that, later seasons sorta gave up on it.
>>42874610>character developmentRainbow Dash and Fluttershy are the poster children of never developing. Both of them were already repeating episodes by season 2.
>>42874615Yeah, like I said season one was pretty much the only season to actually try and develop the characters consistently but the writers didn't expect to get a second season so they did a speedrun of all the characters' development and then later seasons either just accepted the new normal or reverted and did it all over again.
>>42873060According to my graph of a decade of noting every episode each time I watch them (I watched every episode like 4-5 time now, so it starts to make sense) the worst episodes are:S08 E09 - Non-Compete ClauseS09 E07 - She's All YakS09 E19 - Dragon DroppedThe three next worst episodes are:S08 E03 - The Maud CoupleS08 E02 - School Daze [Part 2]S08 E01 - School Daze [Part 1]Why "Yakity-Sax" is not last?Probably some funny faces here and there.But to be honest, it's because the first time I watched it, because of the hype (and mood I was in), it got 5/5.2018:5/52020:3/52022:3/52023:1/5 (it's the lowest note, I don't use 0)2024:2/5So, yeah, the other are worst because, despite of hype, I didn't like the episodes.Thanks for coming to my Ted-X.t. faggot, over.
>>42874630Based on the score degrading over time, I suspect it'll be solidly in the bottom three in a decade or so for you.
>>42874630I gotta say I'm actually always a little bit surprised at just how hated Non-Compete Clause is, when it's just a knock-off Fall Weather Friends, and that episode is usually considered by most to be one of the best episodes of season 1.
>>42874633Well, the first seasons have like 10-11 rewatch, last seasons, only 4-5.So, yeah, it will drop faster than a decade.But also, lot of shitty episodes I liked less than this one.So, yeah, it will drop, but not enough to be on the low 5 I think....I excluded the min and max (when there is enough data), and here are the new marks.Some change quite a lot, but "Yakity-Sax" is barely in the "worst10" episodes.So, yeah, it's a bad episode, but you can find worse desu.
>>42874641Gotta be honest, the student six don't help.Also, the episode is stuffed with so stupid situations.At least "Fall Weather Friends" is cartoonish when needs to be, and that change the feeling of the episode.
