Worst My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic Episodes

The Top Ten
1 Putting Your Hoof Down

I absolutely loathed this episode. Easily my least favorite of season 2. Mysterious Mare Do Well was bad, don't get me wrong, but this was beyond aggravating. Don't get me started with Angel abusing Fluttershy. At one point she kicks her out of her own house! Almost all of the background ponies here are turned into complete jerks! Fluttershy loses all logic while she's in assertive mode in the second part and the first few minutes of the third part. At one point she kicks the garbage wagons, getting the two ponies covered in trash, instead of flying over them! But the absolute worst part was when Fluttershy completely chews out two of her closet friends, Rarity and Pinkie Pie, verbally! Then, they just forgive her and put the blame on Iron Will instead! This was irritating to watch! UGH! Only season 5's What About Discord is worse than this. I am never watching this episode again.

Of all the characters who would do this, nobody comes to mind. Sure, sometimes the Mane Six are out of their element, but this is so much worse than corrupted Fluttershy in Return of Harmony, and that was intended to be them completely betraying their elements.

Everybody hates on Mare Do Well, buy nobody in that episode verbally assassinated two of her or his closest friends.

I can't find anything in this episode that would make me want to watch it again. Even Mare Do Well had its moments, mostly the Rainbow Dash Fan Club, aka Bronycon. Boast Busters had Twilight showing amazing magic, and it led up to Magic Duel.

Tell me this is better than Mare Do Well and have a strong belief of that statement.

Putting your hoof down is the most mean-spirited episode. First Fluttershy gets abused by angel bunny, and he gets no punishment. The market ponies are also cruel, and when Fluttershy can't get a cherry angel throws her out of her house. Then we meet Iron will who gives her bad advice about how to deal with being a pushover. The worst part is when Fluttershy tells Rarity and Pinkie that their life's are pointless. There is nothing positive about this episode, is even worse than The mysterious mare do well for being more cruel and have nothing funny or enjoyable about it.

I felt so sorry for Fluttershy in this episode. She gets kicked out by her own pet bunny all because of the cherry. Then all the ponies selling food acted like complete jerks to her. And hm lets see what's next...Rarity teaches Fluttershy that to get people to respect you, you need to look beautiful and seduce men. Then Pinkie Pie teaches Fluttershy that the best way to buy things at a lower price is to confuse the person selling the item. Go lessons of friendship! Then she gets the worst class ever from Iron Will, and insults her friends and everyone is scared of her now. Fluttershy then realizes that she is a monster and apologizes. The end. Yay? They shouldn't have done that to the sweet and kind Fluttershy ;(

2 28 Pranks Later

This episode is just a 22 minute fight to see who can be the most unlikable. I wasn't rooting for anybody by the end! Yeah, some of Rainbow's pranks were very mean-spirited (I'm looking at you, brick sandwich), but others like the sewing machine cake were harmless and funny, but everyone reacted just as negatively, which makes them look uptight and petty.

The townsfolk took it REALLY far in response. I mean, making someone think they made an entire town sick, possibly without a known cure? So you'd think I'd end up feeling sorry for Rainbow? But she continues to try and justify the prank by saying "it was supposed to be funny" until literally a second before the town reveal they were pranking her.

The entire ending just screamed "Status Quo Is God" cliche with that forced laughter from everyone, and I can't believe how patronizing Rainbow's apology scene felt, even for a kids' show. I don't know if the writers think Rainbow is a bit dense or the audience is a bit dense, ...more

Honestly, this episode deserves more hate than the Starlight episodes, and this is coming from a Starlight defender. Yep, you can get angry at me all you want, but this was one of the worst written episodes in the whole series. They butchered pretty much everyone's character here, Rainbow Dash's pranks were mostly mean-spirited, and worst of all, Rarity actually encouraged Rainbow Dash to put more effort into her pranks instead of just stopping. Even the pranks I thought were actually funny weren't funny to Rarity or Applejack, apparently. Oh! And don't even get me started about the opening where Rainbow Dash completely forgot that Fluttershy is sensitive to pranks. Sorry zombie fans, the zombie apocalypse scene may have been fun for a while, but it gets old quickly. This episode belonged in season 1.

The worst episode of season 6, period. Actually, it's one of the worst written episodes in the whole series. Everyone hates Newbie Dash, but at least everyone in that episode was in character and supportive. In this episode, everyone is out of character. Applejack and Rarity are at their worst in this episode. It's very annoying when Rarity Rainbow Dash "Dash" repeatedly, but it's even more annoying when everyone is trying to be the biggest jerk. This episode made me angry from start to finish. Rainbow Dash's pranks were mostly mean-spirited, and worst of all, Rarity actually encouraged Rainbow Dash to put more effort into her pranks instead of just stopping. Even the pranks I thought were actually funny weren't funny to Rarity or Applejack, apparently. Oh! And don't even get me started about the opening where Rainbow Dash completely forgot that Fluttershy is sensitive to pranks.

I think it's safe to say, they failed miserably trying to fix the problems with The Mysterious Mare ...more

Honestly, after being a fan for this show for 5 years, never have I been more upset of an episode than this one. Which is weird because I originally thought this episode was gonna be just a sequel to "Griffon The Brush Off' where Rainbow Dash just pranks everypony and then there would be zombies. But as soon as I started watching this, I lost faith in Rainbow Dash as a character and a friend. All of her pranks would either go from harmless or just plain cruel, starting off with scaring Fluttershy, which Pinkie told her not to do back in season 1. Also, the zombie part was just disappointing because they look nothing like zombies. I know it's suppose to be a kids show and they would never go that route of showing guts or blood, but when they're presented as zombies, it's just uninteresting. And the moral was completely pointless, because after all the things that Rainbow did, she doesn't deserve to learn anything because she's was just being selfish and unkind to not just her friends, ...more

3 The Mysterious Mare Do Well

I don't really HATE this one. It isn't good, it's a little bad, but it's not AWFUL, like SpongeBob's "One Coarse Meal", Fairly Oddparents'
"Fairly Odd-Pet", Sanjay and Craig's "Fart Baby", or Family Guy's "Screams of Silence".
The humor is pretty good, but a little short on timing, everything else is average, but to put it all on Rainbow Dash is just unfair. This episode got its priorities mixed up. Rainbow Dash should be able to get a little arrogant if she wants to; it's who she is, and she's got every right to do it, considering she's saved a
crud-ton of lives. The other Mane 6 should have sat down, stayed calm, and had a talk, and not upstage her to the point where everyone forgets about her and she gets depressed. Instead, they almost get her KILLED to try and teach her a lesson that she doesn't need, they brag about themselves (which wasn't revealed to be them yet) when Rainbow's clearly upset, and they make HER seem like the bad person here. I don't hate this one, but ...more

I honestly done see where people got party of one, fall weather friends, Sweet and Elite, Too Many Pinkie Pies, Magical Mystery Cure, and May the Best Pet Win from, those episodes are truly amazing and build upon characters. They are written accurately and make sense with the show! On the other hand... The Mysterious Mare Do Well is awful and stupid. Nothing makes sense and everyone is horrible here, they forced rainbow dash to learn the lesson that she didn't even really need to learn in the first place. A story with a narrative like this should have been given to Rarity.

OK- after rethinking things, here's what I think:

This episode is terrible because it's completely mean-spirited, and it's a pathetic attempt to ruin the fan-favorite that is Rainbow Dash. Here's what should have been done:

-Mare-Do-Well should have been some other heroic pony on the scene that tries to take Dash's spot as the town's biggest hero.

-The Mane Six should have shut up, because when you save someone's life, you have every right to brag. You've earned it. It's not like a walk-off homer in the bottom of the ninth. In this case, you can completely say truthfully," If it weren't for me, this person would be dead."

-If Rainbow Dash was feeling as depressed as she was, it should NOT be at the hands of her own friends.

-Twilight should have sat down, kept calm, and TALKED it out with Rainbow Dash.

Here's what The Mane 6 did:

-Bragged about themselves like hypocrites

-Nearly got Rainbow Dash killed

-Drove Rainbow Dash ...more

So, I'm supposed to dislike Rainbow Dash for bragging a little because she saved someone's life? What!? Cause that's apparently what the writers think I should feel. Rainbow Dash was just punished by her closest friends for no good reason, and the only thing I can feel throughout this episode is pity and rage. I feel bad for Rainbow Dash, and am angry at the writers for thinking this was a good idea. This and 28 Pranks Later are without a doubt the most revolting, mean spirited, piles of garbage the writers have ever created.

4 Dragon Quest

Three quotes can show how horrendous this episode is...
"'I don't act like other dragons? '"
"'Oh, not even close.'"
"'But why would you want to, Spike? '"

1) The main six show no respect for Spike and are in the right 2) "All dragons are bad, all ponies are good"
3) Rainbow Dash gets beaten up by Fluttershy 4) Flanderization 5) "One group represents a whole" 6) "Dragons are too rare to study" 7) Cruelty to Spike 8) Filler 9) Predictable Plot 10) "Boys<Girls" "Teenagers<Adults"

How is this NOT the most hated episode of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic?!

I have more of a personal issue with this episode
"I don't act like other dragons? "
"Oh, not even close?
"But why would you want to? "
Substitute the word "dragons" with anything else in regards to gender, race, or something similar
I'm transgender, so this initial attitude towards a dragon (male) doing feminine things for the ponies (female) really doesn't rub well.
I'll concede that other episodes are objectively worse (Rainbow Falls, Putting Your Hoof Down, Mare-Do-Well), but this whole episode was built off of that idea, which is a threat to all others with actions or interests that reflect something that society thinks they are not or shouldn't be.

It's like all the ponies are smothering spike because why the hell not
spike has to be a girly even though he's a boy so he goes to a volcano where the badass dragons hang out and do stuff like jump into lava and steal.

it's like if I was caught watching barbie or something, then someone saw me and spread this, then I went to the back of the school to see some emos, goths, tomboys (I kind of am a tomboy...I play a lot of games)...anyway the kids start smoking or stealing. I say hell naw and bounce...

IT IS BAD. it's predictable, bland...GAWD

What annoys me most is the potential. We get that great scene where Spike looks in the mirror and wonders who he truly is, and then the episode is like: "needs more stereotypical brutish characters".

5 Yakity-Sax

What was the moral of this episode again? Oh right, encourage someone to do something that makes them happy even if that something is making everyone else miserable. Also, Pinkie has never overreacted to this degree! She's never actually started to lose her color! This is so stupid and makes Pinkie look really selfish. The only saving grace this episode had was the scene where the main 6 minus Pinkie ask Maud where Pinkie went, but even then the episode is still the worst I can think of off the top of my head.

What was even the moral of this episode? Here's how I would've written it: Pinkie is actually awesome at playing the instrument, like Busindre Reel awesome! The Yaks don't like it, because they never like anything new and different from their traditions. Now Pinkie desperately tries to show the conservative Yaks that music can build bridges by showing them that their instrument is capable of bringing joy to all races if a beautiful song is played on it. At least that's a moral I can get behind...

Wait, you're honestly telling me that Pinkie is terrible at playing a BAGPIPE? I don't care that it's called yovidaphone or zenithrash. It's a BAGPIPE! Am I the only one who remembers Swarm of the Century (S1), in which Pinkie was a one-pony-band effortlessly playing dozens of instruments you blow into? Yes, a bagpipe is harder to play than a trombone, but come on! At least make it a guitar! Pinkie seemed to be inexperienced at that, as seen in Honest Apple (S7).

It's official: Every single episode with Yak involvement in any shape or form is awful. And why can't Pinkie play a bagpipe? She was a one-pony-band in Swarm of the Century (S1), with lots of instruments to blow into, and she was amazing at it! Why not make it a guitar? Pinkie seemed to be inexperienced with that, as seen in Honest Apple (S7).

6 One Bad Apple

This episode is by far the worst Season 3 episode and in my bottom 3 episodes of the show. Babs Seed is a one-dimensional bully with a personality thinner than a piece of cardboard that feels no remorse.
Oh, but Babs had been bullied in Manehattan for being a blank-flank! We were wrong to try to get back at her for what she did! Explaination does not equal justification. But I'm honestly not surprised with how bad the moral was, as telling a bullying story is nigh impossible to get perfectly. The episode is not very funny or entertaining and the only part that I actually liked was the song, "Bad Seed".

This is an episode that knows what it wants to do, but it has absolutely no idea how to do it. It seems to want to teach two morals, and it fails miserably at both.

First, there's the moral that two wrongs don't make a right. Well, if that's the case, then why did Babs get off scot free for bullying the CMC? And don't say it was because she was being bullied back at home because 1) the CMC technically have the same excuse, and 2) Babs was shown to take things even further than DT or SS without their influence. Babs' background explains her actions, but it in no way excuses them, which is not a sentiment that the episode shares.

Then there's the moral that if someone is bullying you, you should tell someone about it instead of fight back. Okay, fair enough, but here's my question: what if that doesn't work? What if the adults don't believe you, thus leaving you helpless, or what if the bully decides to retaliate again because you were a snitch? Sometimes standing up to a ...more

It wasn't okay that the CMC made such an effort to Babs and she bullied them. Even if she was avoiding getting bullied herself.
Hasbro's Moral: Walk in someone's shoes before judging!
Real Moral: if you gat revenge and the person was avoiding getting bullied/abused/had another reason, your a douchebag and should go be embarrassed.

Let's list some common cliche's: 1.) Episode introduces a one-shot villain (Babs Seed); 2.) Viewers will hate that character throughout the episode; 3.) They will just quickly reform by the end of the episode; and 4.) By the next appearance (Bloom and Gloom), they will suddenly just be forgiven! It is just an repetitive formula used to poorly reform those types of characters. And in case you didn't know, Lauren Faust hates the idea of redeeming villains!

7 Ponyville Confidential

This is by far the worst episode ever. I mean diamond tiara was pretty much unlikeadle before this episode but she isn't the real reason I hate this episode, pretty much the more likeable characters are unlikeable key ones being twilight sparkle, spike, rainbow dash, applejack, and Big Mac. After seeing them punishing the cmc treating them like they killed someone just mad me so mad that seeing fan art with them being brutally beaten was justaflable. With the exception of the cmc, pinkie pie, and Fluttershy everybody was worst pony in this episode. Of and after the cmc apologize to everyone, they don't apologize back to them what the hell is wrong with them, and tiaras punishment wasn't satisfying enough due to the other characters

Honestly, pin the blame on Cheerilee, because if she wasn't so oblivious, she would have demoted Diamond Tiara as soon as possible! And Diamond got off too easy, because being sprayed with ink was way too weak to be considered a punishment, I mean, TELL HER FATHER! Or she should given Ponyville a public apology, because she was BLACKMAILING the Crusaders, or Featherweight should have sold Diamond out to Cheerilee.

There is so much wrong.
1) the townsfolk are hypocritical. They were all thinking: "go on and make fun of everyone else -- but once you make fun of me you deserve punishment! "
2) The CMC are being treated like THEY COMMITTED MASS MURDER when they only invaded personal info (and the townsfolk were cheering them all anyways. ) It was shocking seeing how Applejack and Mac treated them. Seriously?
This episode actually didn't make DT too bad, but it honestly made the people go too far.
Hasbro's moral: Don't invade personal info!
Real Moral: If you do something you shouldn't, you deserve to be treated like a bag of dirt

This episode isn't that bad. It shows how dangerous rumors and gossip is. Many people say it's mean spirited, but how? Everyone shutting the CMC out? The CMC sort of just spread vicious rumors about them. Yes, I hated how Diamond Tiara was and she did ruin it for me, but everything else was fine.

8 A Trivial Pursuit

Why must the "goofy" facial expressions be so ugly in this show? They don't match the animation style, they come off as more desperate for a laugh than actually being amusing, they're unpleasant to look at, and they're so overused. This episode was the final nail in the coffin for those stupid expressions (as well as Jerkass Sparkle's character derailment). Say what you will about modern SpongeBob's (Seasons 10 onwards) goofy expressions, but at least they actually match the show's silly nature and art style (AND some of them can actually make me smile at times).

Literally, Twilight has THE worst character development in Season 9, and this episode certainly doesn't help as she's literally a selfish idiot in every sense of the way throughout!

What was the message of this episode again? Oh yeah! "If you bully your friends, then they'll always be there to help you." What a horrid thing to teach to little girls!

9 Baby Cakes

I really hate this episode because THOSE BABIES is not a pony! They are still 1 year old or newborn but they finally can use their wings and horn! Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle are way more OLDER than those babies but they can't use their wings and horn properly. Also, they both also make Pinkie Pie cries which makes this episode even worse! Flurry Heart is way more better than those babies because her mother is an Alicorn (the strongest pony in Equestria) and her father is a Unicorn (but still have some powerful powers too) and also her parents is a ruler in Crystal Empire. But Mrs Cupcake and Mr Carrot Cake is not an alicorn,a unicorn and a pegasus. But why their kids is a unicorn and a pegasus? MLP LOGIC!

The baby designs were hideous, some scenes were actually creepy, making pinkie cry makes me want to punch them in the face, logic is thrown out the window in favor of saying screw that unicorns are OP, and most importantly, the lesson is said over and over again! Responsibility. Keep hammering it in, episode!

This episode made NO sense. In another episode Twilight has a horrible time trying to make each of her friends fly, yet a baby unicorn can make herself float around the room? Pinkie should have just gotten twilight or rarity to mmake something that woul dhelp with the little ones magic. AND if the infants are unicron and pegasus, how do their parents take care of them? Mr. and Mrs.Cake both appear to be earth ponies to me... maybe I'm just crazy...

1. That nappy changing scene was both disgusting and cringeworthy. I'm sorry but poop does not belong in My Little Pony.
2. Pumpkin Cake is the most broken thing ever in the shows history. I can (sort of) buy Pound Cake being able to fly but a month old foal being more powerful than a 15-20 year old unicorn (now an alicorn) whose special tallent IS MAGIC! Magial outburst my arse!

10 The Last Crusade

To be fair, this was actually pretty good. We finally get to know Scootaloo's parents.

The implications of Scootaloo's parents being child neglecters really brings this episode to a huge low.

Like Stare Master and Make New Friends but Keep Discord, I find the Crusaders to be OOC here.

You stole the good title of Indiana Jones 3!

The Contenders
11 The Last Problem

Since the entire final season beforehand has given Twilight the biggest role in Equestria that makes her worry so much, you'd think it'd all go logically well to see how it all makes sense now, right? Well, if you ask me, you'd be wrong. Instead of spreading all of what's revealed here from the beginning of the season, we're given a bunch of unnecessary SHOEHORNS worth of plot points put in out of nowhere at the VERY LAST SECOND! Everything wrong with this catastrophic disaster of a series finale feels so rushed that apparently no one had time to think, "Hey, maybe we should do an entire rewrite on the finale itself... or on the final season as a whole! "

I'll just say: Worst Cartoon Finale EVER!

The design they made for older Spike in this episode is horrendous! Nor does it make any sense because he's supposed to be younger than Smolder in the show. Yet here they made him suddenly for no apparent reason look like he aged over twice her post time skip age in the future!?

Twilight's new design is laughably bad. It's basically just a re-color of Celestia.

Spike looks ugly

12 A Bird in the Hoof

This episode has got problems of it's own, first of all, I know Fluttershy has to be kind and care for animals, but even she would know VERY better to ask Celestia if she could borrow Philomena rather than KIDNAPPING HER! Not to forget, Philomena was CRUEL to pretend to be dying AND eventually "die" and suddenly just manifest, revealing that it was just a stupid stunt. Maybe it was to teach Fluttershy a lesson not steal, but it already KILLED the episode for me.

It's not the worst of the show in terms of narrative, moral or characterisation, but let's look at the primary goal of this show: entertainment. How many of you can honestly say you were entertained by watching a sick bird for a good 15 of the 22 minutes?

I don't hate any episodes or anything, but this one is really boring. I've watched it about 3 or 4 times and I still don't completely understand why this is even a thing.

Well this episode is about Fluttershy so it is gonna be bad their so boring Fluttershy's episodes are about facing your fears or animals and that's it.

13 Boast Busters

This episode is just wrong. Seriously seriously wrong. The Mane 6 were acting like jackasses as a pathetic attempt to villify Trixie, not to mention they acted like hypocrites, (Hey, let's 1-up the show-off by being an even BIGGER show-off! :D). Also, Spike's constant fanboying in this episode gets really grating REALLY fast. This episode also introduced Snips and Snails, my most hated characters in the whole show, (Yes, I hate them more than Diamond Tiara, SUE ME! ). Finally, the ending where these two earn mustaches is so insulting it would fit better in a modern SpongeBob episode, not to mention sends out some highly unfortunate implications, (Hey kids, if you send a gigantic monster into town to attempt to destroy it, you get rewarded for it! )

I am honestly baffled how an episode this bad can even exist. BY FAR the show's worst episode.

This episode does not make any fudging sense.

The Mane 6 get mad at a pony putting on a show and entertaining everyone. They accuse her of 'boasting'. I mean that's as dumb as going to a cinema and saying that the actors are showing off and should be hated. You were the one who PAID to see the movie, jackass. If you knew there was going to be acting, why did you even go there in the first place?

And when Twilight did the same thing, she was APPRECIATED. I feel sorry for Trixie.

Despite my bias, I really enjoy magician characters, I will agree that arrogance is annoying. However that wasn't the problem, the problem was that Applejack, Rarity and RD were doing the same exact thing. I was actually glad when Trixie humiliated them as it taught them a lesson. Also it was not her fault that the Ursa Minor attacked, it was Snips and Snails and their punishment was so stupid. Mustaches, what the heck? 1

At least I could relate to Fluttershy in Putting your Hoof Down. Also Mysterious Mare Do Well at least also had a good moral. Just it wasn't executed very well. Boast Busters however sucks in EVERY regard. Rarity, Appleajck and Rainbow Dash acted reprehensible. Instead of leaving Trixie's show, they heckled her and challenged her doing what they do best. At least the showoff Trixie managed to 1up the offensive showoffs. And Spike is just so annoying trying to get Twilight to do something when SHE CAN and Twilight isn't any better. She isn't doing something when she very well can and end this whole charade. It also ends with a stupid anticlimax and... ugh. The stupid dipspits Snips and Snails. I hate these 2 and I know lots of others do as well. I HATE THIS EPISODE SO MUCH!

14 2, 4, 6, Greaaat

You know it's going to be a bad episode if the title card doesn't sound like it's excited. Anyway, it's just another "Rainbow Dash is a moron" episode (at least she didn't put the students lives in danger this time). And if that weren't enough, we also get to see Twilight manipulate Rainbow Dash, and was put in the right for doing so.

Yeah Rainbow Dash's character portrayal in this episode was kinda embarrassing.

15 Between Dark and Dawn

SPOILERS: This episode is ungodly derivative of Pinkie Apple Pie, A Royal Problem, Once Upon a Zeppelin, and Road to Friendship. (The writers, like I said are STILL out of ideas! )

(NOTE: I watched this just recently when it leaked online)

I'm really sick of those facial expressions that are supposed to be "meme-worthy." They're so ugly that they don't even look like they belong in a show like this.

The Princesses pretty much learned nothing from A Royal Problem. Their fighting just came off as even more petty and childish.

This episode just proves that making Twilight the new ruler of Equestria is a terrible idea.

16 Princess Spike

Honestly if she did so much work for the festival in such a short amount of time that she's exhausted, that's piss poor scheduling.

This episode was just a rehash of Just For Sidekicks, where Spike acts like a greedy idiot.

This should be in the top 20, if not the top 10. Worst Spike episode in the whole series.

Awful. We are just watching spike telling ponies what to do, no real plot here.

17 The Point of No Return

As much as I didn't like Sparkle's Seven, at least I can see why people enjoyed it. This episode, however, has nothing to enjoy. The story is boring and unoriginal, the cameos made by Moondancer and Derpy are just there to pander to the older fans, the humor with Twilight panicking is unfunny (as usual), and the message (while okay) feels rather forced. It just feels pointless!

Worst episode of the show. This plot was done way better with Amending Fences! It is simply pointless in EVERY possible way. (Just goes to show Friendship Is Magic's crew/writers really HAVE run out of ideas after all)

I'm seriously getting tired of Twilight out over every little thing! I seriously just want to slap her in the face multiple times and tell her to knock it off and get a hold of herself.

This season proves that if Twilight is going to be the new ruler, then Equestria is going to be at war with itself.

18 What About Discord

This is my least favorite episode for many reasons. The jokes would've made sense if we actually knew what discord and the others did. Sure, we get told about two, but how are they funny? And the peanut butter thing? No explanation because I don't know. Every second discord was on screen, he made me feel hatred for him. He was an annoying, unlikeable in this episode. The ending wasn't funny, made little sense, the joke there wasn't funny either, twilight was being stupid, spike barely even did anything to try and calm her down, and to be honest, the ending would've been much better if discord didn't get a happy ending. This was a train wreck, and the new writer definitely messed up.

I don't like this episode, I didn't think any of the jokes were funny, looks like the rest of the Mane six is trying to make Twilight jealous the entire episode, and the entire idea for the episode was a junction of "A character is jealous" with "A character don't trust in the reformed villain", and I dislike both of them.

Seriously? The Mane 5 almost picked Discord, the villain and trickster, over Twilight. Not only do the others 5 act completely out of character, but Discord pits into question whether he's even reformed, and his punishment is not severe enough. This episode makes me hate Discord.

Bad. Remarkably bad. The worst episode in the history of the show. Discord was portrayed poorly here. He was more tolerable in Three's A Crowd, not here. Starlight episodes get WAY too much undeserved and unnecessary hate. This episode deserves all the hate it gets.

19 Somepony to Watch Over Me

To be honest, I couldn't get through this episode. The only other episode that I stopped watching halfway through was Putting Your Hoof Down, and that's deservingly at number 1. However, I'm frankly surprised this isn't higher on the list. Applejack is supposed to be the practical one in the group, not some freaky stalker! Besides, Applebloom has gotten herself into plenty of situations way worse than simply being left home alone, so Applejack's behavior is irrational and stupid. It was just grating to watch. I could buy Applejack being a little bit apprehensive, but nowhere near this level. NOTHING warranted this behavior. This is paranoia I would expect from Twilight, not Applejack. It wasn't funny at all. In fact, nothing in this episode was funny in the slightest. I'm done. This episode sucks.

I can describe this episode in one word: PAIN! "Somepony to Watch Over Me" was nothing but pain! What would have been an episode where Applebloom has a chance to prove to her sister that she's responsible instead devolves into an Applejack is overprotective of her sister episode. Applejack was unbelievably out of character! The real Applejack would NEVER, AND I MEAN NEVER, baby Applebloom around and check up on her every five seconds! It became so aggravating, I almost punched my laptop in rage! But the worst part of the episode is the moral. The moral is a destructive and toxic message for younger kids! This episode is AWFUL!

In my opinion, this epsisode should be number 1 on this list. Applejack was disgracefully out-of-character, I mean, the way she treats Apple Bloom is unbelievably ridiculous and against her nature! This episode contradicts the other episodes in the past involving the relationship of these sisters. This episode was a horrid portrayal of Applejack and obviously it was not a smart idea for the creators of the show to hire a brand new writer that clearly has no idea about the personalities of the characters. I can't believe his script was even accepted considering the awful out-of-character Applejack he created. "Somepony to Watch Over Me" should be NUMBER ONE. End of story. /:(

Applejack spends the entire episode being over-protective and hovering over Apple Blooms every move, portraying Applejack as the antagonist in way that was not only horrifically out of character but inconsistent with the show- Apple Bloom has been without supervision for the majority of her screen time! Then, when Apple Bloom attempts to show that she can complete something independently, it turns out that of all the events in this episode, the one thing Apple Bloom could have done to prove herself was go through a fire swamp apparently home to a chimera, which is preposterously difficult, and throughout the entire episode I was wondering what anyone could possibly take away from this: it provided no moral to children other than 'being independent gets you eaten' and was so unenjoyable and repetitive that an older viewer will detest it.

Even the chimera, a mythological creature I would normally be excited for, was botched by the fact that it was a three-voiced idiot that spent ...more

20 A Canterlot Wedding Part 1

I hate everyone in the entire episode, including Twilight's friends, Celestia, Shining Armor, etc. simply because no one listened to Twilight! Well, you're supposed to be her friend, so at least LISTEN to what she has to say, discuss it, talk it over and stuff. So much for 'true friendship' when you can't even listen to a friend and their problems! I mean, those guys were obsessed with becoming bridesmaids that they didn't see Twilight having a hard time, and didn't support her. Not even Celestia suspected Cadence! I mean, even if it sounds stupid- that Cadence is a 'fake' (which she was) then there must be a reason your 'most faithful student' is telling you something! And I've just completely ranted about this entire episode. Still, I do not regret a single word- the episode was- quite frankly- crap.

They should have known better than to not believe Twilight after all they have been through with her. Rainbow is supposed to be the element of Loyalty, for crying out loud! Even if the rest of them weren't always shallow from the start of the episode, I'm pretty sure Rarity was the worst derailed of all since she was the only one who really swooned about the wedding being in Canterlot, she was the last to take off her dress when the other 5 ponies left to go fight the Changelings, and she hogged the flowers away from the other bridesmaids at the end of the episode.

The concept of the finale was pretty nice, though I despised the fact that everyone around Twilight abandoned and ridiculed her all for the attention of a princess... Especially since she knows that Cadence is much more than just Shining Armor's girlfriend who wants the perfect wedding. Part 1 was meh, but Part 2 was pretty epic and I liked it.

I pretty much hated everyone at the end of the episode except for twilight of course I mean that is by far the worst thing they have done besides ponyville confidential. Oh and the they barely give a decent enough apology in part 2 what the hell. If it wasn't the fact that this was only the first part of a two parter I would consider this the worst episode ever

21 Hearts and Hooves Day

The song didn't appeal to me, and the silly-talk was extremely fitting for this episode, but for the most part, it made my face cringe with agony. I don't necessarily hate it, it's just that it doesn't appeal to me. It's the same thoughts on what Scootaloo thinks of songs. I didn't like it.

It was cute... Ish. This episode just bothered me, considering I ship Fluttermac (don't go hating). But the really disturbing thing about this episode is that in Equestria girls, they made Cheerilee a teacher and Big Mac a student. Ever bother to think about that? Disturbing.

I don't think this episode is even allowed on kids T.V. shows! Also, the song is horrible.

This episode was OK, but I didn't really like the ending. While the CMC screwed up, Ms. Chereley and Big mac made them do a mans work as punishment, which kinda breaks child labor laws

22 Daring Doubt

I've found a new worst episode of the entire show right here! Reforming Caballeron is one thing, but reforming Ahuizotl?! REALLY! I'm gonna echo off VoiceOfReason and Thespio on this one: "This is without a Daring Doubt (pun intended) the WORST way you could have had a final Daring Do episode! It fails from a story standpoint, it fails from a character standpoint, it fails from a moral standpoint, it's just all-around horrendous! "
Yeah, my thoughts, exactly. Worst. Episode. Ever.

Hey, characters like Discord and Tempest have done well, but how many villain redemptions do we seriously need before this gets agonizingly old?!?!

23 Applebuck Season

Its solo funny and great

24 Frenemies

What's worse than a catastrophic episode about villainous characters pacing around (The Mean 6)? An unneeded spinoff to a catastrophic episode about villainous characters pacing around. Tirek, Chrysalis, & Cozy were all immature and argumentative idiots, the song (Better Way to Be Bad) derails the former two for the worst (since the very latter was already terrible to begin with), and learning a friendship moral like what they learned at the end should NOT be something done on villains who are NOT destined to be reformed!

Boring, unfunny, stupid, and painful. Way to go making the villains lame, writers. Season 9, so far, is just a huge disappointment. This episode, along with Sparkle's Seven and The Point of No Return were the just the worst. The only episodes that I actually found good so far were Uprooted, Common Ground, and She's All Yak.

I don't get why people enjoy this episode. There was literally nothing in there for me to enjoy! The only entertaining thing was watching Tirek shaking Cozy Glow violently (I hate that little abomination).

Can Season 9 just end already? Because I don't see the point in going on after this train wreck. The writers are clearly short of ideas.

25 Non-Compete Clause

I suppose the moral was "learn from others' mistakes and make it better". But instead we got an episode about two irresponsible teachers who endangered the lives of their students. In real life, they would be fired and never allowed to work ever again. But in MLP, they only get a mild slap on the wrist and left in charge, even though Twilight knew they were competing all along. That could easily be misinterpreted by kids as "the end justifies the means", and that's a horrible moral to teach!

Yeah, this one was a waste of time...

Spongebob did this right, Rainbow and AJ should have grown out of their competitive nature so to me they are completely out of character
