Gummy being existential was the highlight.

And Derpy locking the Mane 6 out :lol:

Celestia and Luna arguing.

So yeah, this was an incredibly dumb episode, and it was glorious. The final scene was kinda touching, too. Good way to celebrate the 100th episode.

I think Gummy stole this one. :-P

But what an amazing episode...all the Derpy...Vinyl and Tavi...Lyra and Bon Bon, not to mention the Changeling. That was a nice touch.

Shining Armor for the liquid pride win.

I also liked the bit of squabbling between Celly and Luna, we don't see enough of thier relationship as sisters. :gotcha:

Well, not the best episode of the season but definitely the most episode of the season. Only MA Larson could have done it.

OK gone for real.

That was nice, some moments were a bit too on the nose (and my favorite inconsequential background characters were a no show :grumpydash:), but overall I enjoyed this episodes particular brand of shenanigans. :ponydrugs:

The VA on the bickering was top notch, like the over-stressing of certain syllables whilst quietly arguing. Top notch.

It was very nice. I'd assumed we'd never see any of them again.

But yeah - what a crazy, insane, silly, and fun way to celebrate a milestone! Great episode and happy 100th! :ponydrugs:

Ya know, this whole thing would've actually felt a little awkward, but then Mayor Mare's summary and the Mane 6 ending turned it from a balls to the wall silly-splosion into (at least to me) a rather touching and wonderful tribute to the secondary/tertiary characters and the world itself. I adored it and all it's silliness. :allears: I have to say, I wouldn't mind more secondary character episodes in the future. Obviously not in the same vein as this one, but I can't help but feel there's a lot of potential for some good stories and character moments there.

Also, him being designated "Lebowski Pony" in the credits slayed me almost as much as the Gummy monologue... almost...

Stream shenanigans screwed me out of seeing the last of the ending, but oh well, I was going to watch it again ASAP anyway. Great episode. I was very slightly worried that I'd end up cringing over at least one thing, but thankfully this episode managed to avoid that.

This episode defies description. It should simply fall flat on its face...but it doesn't. It seems to recognize how stupid and silly the whole idea is and, rather than try to make something serious, just runs on whatever the production team thought was amusing at that moment in time. While a couple of the fandom references were glaring (most especially the Twicane's unwelcome return), the sheer amount of jokes, characters, and action bouncing around means the episode is never dull or lacking for content. Throw in a few new ideas for the show, like Bon Bon being a secret agent, Gummy's existentialism, and Celestia and Luna bickering like sisters, and you have something terribly amusing.

This isn't going to go down as one of the best episodes, but it was still a fun way to celebrate one hundred episodes of this iteration of pony. Hasbro, DHX, congratulations on reaching a milestone few animated shows have.

I'm tied between Gummy and SECRET AGENT SWEETIE DROPS as the best part. I'm still buzzing.

It ruined a lot of things :-I


What is life?
Is it nothing more than the endless search for a cutie mark?
And what is a cutie mark but the constant reminder that we're all only one bugbear attack away from oblivion?
And what of the poor gator, flank forever blank, destined to an existential swim down the river of life to an unknowable destiny?

I stand in absolute awe of this episode.

For once, the writers and animators were let loose, and the result was magnificent. This is most certainly an episode that will require close and repeated rewatching.

An edifice should be raised to commemorate this remarkable piece of animation. Win does not do it justice, this episode was filled with absolute triumph.

Octavia’s voice was just perfect. Ms. Muffins was just fine, balancing genuine helpfulness and inadvertent klutziness. The bickering Sisters would have been the VA highlight, had we not been treated to Gummy’s existentialism.

And Steven Magnet in all his unbridled glory. Who was so unhelpfully Right about the wedding, (and evidently a certain pony’s generosity had rubbed off on him, too).

I don't know what to think about it yet. It was definitely cringe-worthy from start to finish. I can't decide if it's good or bad at the moment. I need to clear my mind and rewatch it several times. I have no words.

This episode didn't have my favourite pony. 0/10 episode.
