:plonk: Yakety Yak!
:glare: don't talk back

• If she is referred to as nothing but Pink Pony throughout the episode, I'll be so tickled.
• Pinkie learned there existed a party she'd never been to, and that could not stand.
• Of course she uses pink parchment!
• I'd like Andrea Libman to voice Harley Quinn some day.
• The princesses seem in high spirits again! Oh wait, it's just the credits.
:rant: "I wasn't asking your permission, Twilight! What are you, the Party Pope of Partyland?"
• Holy moley, she IS Party Pope and she just made Pinkie an archbishop.
• Gummy being unsecured in that balloon is giving me anxiety. :nnngh:
• Love seeing Yakyakistan again, it's such a cool design. The yaks are ready for the White Walkers Trotters.
• Your friends no stomp! And if they no stomp, then they no friends of mine!
• I bet Rutherford would be jealous if he knew Pinkie'd been flirting with the griffon king.
• Young yaks are adorable af.
• The best thing about a hay bed is, it's also breakfast!
• What can we do to get a yak mod for Dwarf Fortress? You'd build walls, huts for various purposes, and every so often your yaks would need to stomp something to stay happy. A large, sturdy creature fond of drink and smashing.
• Ha, I wonder if those are the vanilla bean plants in the town foreground.
• They work hard and won't admit weakness, it's a whole race of Applejacks. :twasnothin:
• No, Pinkie, Twilight and her friends are not going to be happy to come 9000 miles to dig snow. They're good ponies. But nopony is that good.
• I'd give a lot right now to hear Gummy's thoughts again.
• Love the goat story art style.
• PRINCE DRUTHERFORD. ORIGINAL CHARACTER DO NOT STEAL
• Would've been funny if the cows were very obviously Mane Six colored. Do cows wear cowboy hats? Would that be a paradox? :ponder:
:rant: OBJECTION
• I wish there were more Rarity fashion segments. But wait -- what if Rarity has nothing left to teach us? What if we know everything there is to know about fashion?
• AJ calling Twilight "hon" is surprisingly adorable.
• It's fun that the rest of the ponies are showing up now. Not Spike though, he's probably grounded for something.
• Rainbow giving the hypocritical "Ninja costume, what a dork" look.
• PROBLEM APPARENTLY SOLVE ITSELF, YAK WORLDVIEW VINDICATED
• Honorary yak horns! Now Pinkie can join Gwar!

That was fun like most Pinkie episodes! :party: Interestingly non-judgemental about Rutherford. I mean, it obviously showed how wrong and harmful it was and that not everyyak agreed with it, but at the same time the message is "Let your friends be themselves" or maybe more accurately "Do the right thing while still respecting your friends". I dunno, it's interestingly gray area. I kinda wish this one had a Dear Princess Celesta so that we'd hear in the episode's own words what the lesson is. Because I'm unimaginative that way I guess :pinkieshrug:

Seeing Pinkie wearing those horns reminded me of having a birthday supper at Montana's Steakhouse a while back and they got me to wear a similar pair of horns. Like Pinkie, I found them too heavy to wear for very long. Image

Young yaks are adorable, but their dialogue is even more smurfy than adult yaks'.

Honestly, this kind of annoyed me. The lesson here was supposed to be that the yaks were too proud to ask for help when they needed more than what they could do on their own, right? But the way that this sequence basically made anyone who wasn't Rarity or Twilight out to be useless at clearing snow made it feel more like the problem was that they absolutely couldn't clear snow at all. I felt this further contributed to the muddy moral of this episode; was the problem of pride and straight-up inability, or just pride alone?

I feel like Starlight would have thoroughly approved of this episode. The ponies knew what was best and they went right in (without asking) and did it. If anything, she'd be surprised it took 22 minutes for it to happen.

Starlight would have brainwashed Prince Rutherford and make him ask for help.
