Rarity's planning is so perfectly Rarity like. :allears:

And that over the top shrine is just too perfect. It reminds me of Hey Arnold.

Oh God, this guy's voice is so hilarious to me for some reason. I think it's the pitch and tone of his voice.

This is even funnier than the clips hinted at. So far this is great.

So does this mean Ponyville is on its way to becoming the Equestria equivalent of Portland?

He's got a great VA, his delivery is great, and his cutie mark is greatly amazing.

This owns so much already.

OK, this guy is hilarious. I just love his character already.

The Spike fourth wall glare was great and Rarity's cowpony outfit is the best thing ever so far.

The writers of this show own. They know how to say what needs to be said and how to say it.

And Rarity on a plow is amazing.

This is gonna be so great and Rarity is gonna embarass herself so much :gotcha:

While Trendhoof is classic hipster who doesn't know jack shit about farming. Applejack should have him actually work on the farm for a day :smirk:

I love that the voice she's using is legit Rarity's voice trying to sound country instead of just a country voice.

Well, that was kind of disappointing. Tabitha was excellent, but everything else was kind of mediocre.

It all still wraps up to a good episode, though.

Well that was 21 minutes of awkward, followed by an ending that was pretty nice so in all the end result is pretty good.

OK episode. The joke ran a little long, but there were enough goofy moments with AJ and Rarity to make up for it.

That line killed me, even in Equestria they have cultural patronization.

First impression:

St. Germain was great (again) and the episode was also rather fun.

Fun episode, Rarity being awkward stupid, and just down right ridiculous, AJ having to put up with all that. Oh and the part at carousel boutique, the exchange between Rarity & Spike about unrequited love, priceless! :gotcha:

Overall solid episode. I laughed, I cringed, silly hammy fun!


Also loved the moral.

That was super cute.

I liked how Rarity interrupted AJ before she had a chance to say...whatever she was about to. It was like "I'm not..." so hmmm.

So Doron Bell played Trendermane, eh? Looking at his resume, it's pretty interesting and he did a great job.

The moral was very nice as well. Also, did this remind anyone of the SpongeBob episode where Patrick wants an award so he copies everything SpongeBob does?

I like how they remembered "Cutie Mark Chronicles" and how easily AJ can slip into a refined role when needed, yet Rarity can't do country to save her life.

A fun episode. Not one for the history books perhaps, but definitely enjoyable. It was about the two best ponies, so I couldn't not enjoy it.

The last act made the episode, with Rarity and Applejack trying to outdo each other. Rarity's accent was hilariously awful. Tabitha killed it as usual, and Ashleigh Ball didn't do bad either with that Southern Belle act. "I smell like rose-buds!"

This episode in a nutshell:

I just couldn't stop thinking of the intro to Green Acres during the episode.




Rarity is already a less-ditzy Eva Gabor, and Trenderhoof is a good match for Oliver Wendell Douglas, a well-to-do urbanite who overly romanticizes the country life.
