Also the everyone-laughs endings to episodes are awesome and they should do them every time.

Homer: Well, here we are at the Brad Goodman lecture.
Lisa: We know, Dad.
Homer: I just thought I'd remind everybody. After all, we did agree to attend this self-help seminar.
Bart: What an odd thing to say...
Fizzbuzz wrote:Was it really that bad? That's just the way some people are. It's the sort of thing I expect out of Rarity or Spike, or possibly even Sweetie Belle, but for any of the other main characters it would be weird to me.
I think such differing views and degrees of romanticism would be a good thing for the show to explore, though. Prior to this episode I had been discussing the appeal of shipping with another person here, and I explained that I had assumed that Rarity was the only one of the Mane Six to care about love, at the exclusion of the others. I came to realize that that was a dumb assumption to make, though, almost as dumb as corporate executives who assume that all girls care about going out with boys.
Fizzbuzz wrote:What Rarity did is weird, but when you feel really strongly about somebody, you tend to do weird things. Look at Spike's behavior toward Rarity in S1. He was so obsessed with her that he let himself be used as a pincushion! Besides, Rarity likes to put on an air of maturity and grace, but if something pushes her over the line then she can become almost as eccentric as Pinkie Pie.
