It's Twilight Time, c'mon grab your whatevs, and read the Anti-Review, dawgs.

Greetings Earthlings,

Your Reviewer Number 2 here, with our new feature 'WUT ARE DEM TALKING EQUINES DOIN'?' anti-review.
I say 'anti' because if you are looking for a serious, thoughtful review, scroll down amigos, scroll down.
If you are, on the other hoof, looking for something sillier, stay with me on this crazy train to Ponyville, as we focus our beady, overly-sparkly, sometimes even seizure-inducing pony eyes on this week's episode, 'Twilight Time'.

First of all, someone should lend those silly fillies a Mean Girls dvd, as all this hullabaloo would be avoided if they just understood one simple truth: Its Cool to be Uncool. If you're cool with being uncool, then you're automatically cool. You're welcome for the life-changing advice, bronies.
But since the insecure trio missed that particular lesson in school, they embark on an embarrassing Popularity Goose-chase. (lol, Popularity Goose sounds like a Hasbro villain. He wears glasses, skinny jeans and a fedora. He will wink at you and call you 'baby'. So villainous.)

Next up, some pretty grievous assaults on senior citizens:

Not cool, Snobby Princess-lookalike Pony, not cool. Hope you are aware that causing bodily harm and exploiting a senior citizen is considered a third degree felony, Diamond Tiara. But judging by the gleeful reaction of her pony-peeps, I'm guessing the law on that account is different in Equestria, so you old farts better watch out (I'm looking at you, Granny Smith!)

Borderline behaviour is also spotted in Sweetie Belle, when she engages in a sociopathic daydream featuring levitating Diamond Tiara against her will, and twirling her around at a vomit-inducing pace, while gleefully-evil onlookers laugh. I'm sensing that Diamond Tiara and Sweetie Belle have a lot more in common than we think- take even their colour hues, for example. They are so similar they could be cousins, if not sisters! Then there is their apparent sociopathic lust for popularity. And their sweet frou-frou styling. Need I go on? All hail conspiracy theories! Maybe Rarity's and Sweetie Belle's mother had a secret love child? In her appearance in 'Sisterhooves Social', she seems appropriately pink-looking to pass off as Diamond Tiara's mum: 

Should we be expecting a tearful family reunion between the two sisters separated at birth anytime soon? 
Talking about illegitimate children, is that Cheese Sandwich's long lost son?! 

Somepony give that crazy dairy product-named equine a call, so he can pick up his abandoned son! Look at how sad this little guy looks! For shame Cheese Sandwich, for shame!

Moving on, the Trio proceed with their plan to win the hearts of their fellow midget ponies, and go on to devise a plan to ambush Twilight, a plan that probably comes directly out of the Stalker Book. ("There's a stalker book?" you ask? Yes, yes there is. Available on Amazon, just £5.99! Order now!) 
Once the Cutie Mark Invaders get Twilight into the Pony McDonalds (which serves hayburgers instead of beefburgers- an wise decision, because otherwise it would cause a monumental scandal in the neighbouring bovine community...ponies eating cows? ugh, this isn't Hannibal after all!) 
We then witness the true face of Princess Twilight, no, strike that, the true face of all Young Adults. Yes, my darling teen readers, once you outgrow that wide-eyed teenage insecurity, and enter your early 20's, this is the un-airbrushed reality:

When you're a young, single pony, living on your own in a hollowed out tree with a tubby man-child dragon roommate, your happiest moment in life is when a bunch of school-ponies invite you out for a burger or two (or four...). You don't care that you're a princess. Or that you have two ketchup stains on your cheeks (Maybe she's born with it, maybe it's Maybelli- oh nope, that's ketchup...). Or that the pony-dude sitting behind you is staring at you like you're a threat to society. Oh well.
What? You're saying you will never become the sad slob who has a love affair with a burger? What, you will always be the sophisticated filly, limiting yourself to only ONE burger, and wiping off that rogue ketchup with a napkin and NOT another burger? I bet they are thinking so too:

Just you wait, little fillies, just you wait...
After that, Twilight survives a brief attack of zombie-like midget ponies, we are made to endure Pip's annoying British accent, and witness the Cutie Mark Crusaders' swift rise to fame and popularity. But the higher the rise, the longer the fall, duum-duuum-duuummm. And the bigger the magic apple explosion. Poor Spike, no doubt he was the one who had to clean up the disgusting mess, as well as cook a mountain of nachos. Cheap labour? Exploitation of basic dragon rights? You bet! Poor poor Spike, not only Friend-Zoned by Rarity, but also Butler-Zoned by Twilight...

Once the Trio's plan for popularity fails, and the midget mob have nothing else to be entertained with, they are left to guilt their way back into Twilight's good books. Take notes, little bug-eyed extortionists: as long as you fix a scooter (a stolen scooter that you intentionally smashed), magically grow a flower, and miraculously make it fly and stick in your victims hair, you will be instantly forgiven. 
Because that, you weirdos, is the magic of friendship.
 The End!

P.S

As we have already extensively touched upon the theme of secret love-children, here is one last example to tickle your fancy:
Ever sit on a boring gloomy day and wonder: What would happen if J. Bieber and One Direction's     H. Styles would have a pony-child? You haven't? You liar! We all have! And now, *drum roll and cannons* we can finally be at peace, because here he is, complete with swoopy hair and British accent:

Yes, Apple Blossom, you can punch him. I know you want to. We all do. 

Peace out, losers

Filli Vanilli/FlutterFear/Flutterguy's Return Review

Hullo.
It's review time. Late review time
-Summary-
Peeps hear Fluttershy sing in a fantastic voice, so Rarity is all like: "You should sing with us, the PONYTONES!". But Fluttershy says: "Nuh uh. my name is FlutterSHY. I'm SHY. I won't sing with you dudes."



But them Big Mac looses his voice in a turkey call, so Fluttershy, worried about the outcome of her fundraiser event, decides to fill in for him.



It's not that simple. She decides to sing with the voice of a guy. So they all go to Zecora and ask for some Poison Joke.
In the performances Flutters supplies the voice while make supplies the bodeh. He lip-syncs. Everything goes smoothly, but during one show she gets carried away and blows her cover.



Ponies see her and understand everything, but she thinks that they're laughing at her so she runs away.
Everyone go and see if she's ok.
In the end she joins them but she still doesn't want to sing in front of a crowd.



And Pinkie made Flutters cry.



And everypony hated her for once.


fave part of the episode
good.
 The end
-Music-
No songs, but that song the Ponytones sang was catchy. But not memorable.
-Personal Opinion-
It's was ok.
But not ok.
First it was too sickeningly sweet. I quote my sister: "I'm about to barf sparkles and rainbows because it was so sweet."
Being sweet and all is ok, but this was just. too. much.
Secondly, most of the episode was basically a montage of them singing. That's lazy.
Only thing I liked was Big Mac. We heard him sing, we saw him smile. It was nice.
Oh and I love the variety of ponies in the episodes. Small, big, tall, short, bizarre etc.
+ this scene creeped me out.



Well that sums it up I guess....
-Overview-
Good but not too good. Mehhhh
6.79846 out of 10.
Sorry for the short and content-less review, but time is my enemy.
See ya.

Simple Ways Review

Hi.
Wasn't that a nice episode? Why don't we look it through?
-Summary-
So Rarity is picked as the whatchamacallit for that thingamajig (I'm too lazy to look up how they were called D: ) and she gets to organize it. 
She has a lot planned for it, but she assigns most of the work to her pony-friends and decides concentrate on winning the heart of the greatest hipster in pony history - Trenderhoof. 

creeeepyyyy...

Stepping aside for a bit - his name is Trenderhoof. So that means that he's a trendsetter, while hipsters on the other hand, don't "follow" the ongoing trend, created by "trendsetters"
even his cutie mark is hipsterish! 

Trendsetting is doing something new, not abiding to current trends - just what hipsters think they do. But they actually don't, they're all just copying the ultimate trendsetter...
Back on track. 
So Rarity meets "Trend" and shows him around Ponyville. When they stop at Sweet Apple Acres he sees Apple Jack - the pony of his dreams.



 Rarity is all like: WHY U NO NOTICE ME TREND? So she decides not to win him over with her heart and soul, but by TURNING INTO AJ!

Country Rarity 1.0

Seeing that her master transformation plan failed, she decides to level up. She changes the plans for that celebration completely - everything's Country now! Including Rarity.


Country Rarity 2.0

She changes her mane, clothes and her accent (I'll speak about that later!) 
To show Rarity how she's acting, AJ decides to TURN INTO RARITY!! Wow, what next? Twi turning into Pinkie?! 


I.. ugh.. honestly don't know 
Anyway, Rarity sees what a dodo she was and changes back to her former self. She explains Trend why AJ is creeped out by him, and she does that in a very "oh snap!" fashion.
Trend understands that and goes to hit on Granny Smith. Yep. 
They all have a sweet time at that party and stuff.  The episode ends with Rarity's epic monologue about how awesome she is. 


o hai der
-Music- 
There was no songs in this episode, but I noticed something that made me happy. Background music. The amount of it was good. Perfect I'd say. There was not too much and not too little. That made me very happy! 
-Personal Opinion-
Ah, finally I can ramble on.
Firstly, I love the development of the show and characters I see throughout the years. Lets talk about Rarity.  
At the beginning, Season 1 Episode, all we saw a Rarity who was afraid of mud, always fashionable, speaking with her fancy accent, but nothing else. Now, on the other hand, we see a Rarity who is brave, and will do anything to help out her friends. She even put on dirty clothes, gave up her fancy mane and lifestyle to feel appreciated by Trenderhoof. THAT is character growth. 
Now lets talk about the show, overall. 
Remember, back in the old times, the show was a bit one-sided (in the best way possible!). Every episode concentrated on friendship, and it is now, but differently. For example, this episode didn't have a friendship problem, it had a personal problem. If you think about it, lately most episodes have personal problems! That really amazes me, the show is called FRIENDSHIP is magic. And friendship is not only about the way you interact with others, but also the way you treat and see yourself! This is why I love this show.
Secondly, didn't you think that the way Rarity quickly changed her accent was suspicious? Well here is what I think- Rarity grew up in Ponyville - the town which was founded by farmponies. Her parents didn't have a country accent in Sisterhooves Social as far as I remember, but I think that Rarity had a different accent when she was a filly (younger then when she was in Cutie Mark Chronicles), but later on she became more sophisticated, stated designing and gained an accent by studying I guess. 
My point is that Rarity has a farmpony in her, she's just wearing a fashionable mask- a mask of sophistication, and this time she set that long-forgotten self free and used it as a way of winning over Trend's heart.
This applies to AJ too. She changed into her "trendsetting fashionista" image really fast! It was confirmed that she lived in Manehattan, so maybe she learned something about fashion and manners there. I think that adds some depth to them! 


theory time!

Oh, and I noticed something interesting, look:



What if he was an earth pony before, but then just got a horn to be fancier of something? Or it's just the poster...
Speaking of Trend, in the episode it was said that he's a traveling author, judging by his look and about what he wrote it seems to me that he's some sort of hip blogger. 
Now THAT'S something new!
I really like this episode, it was different. We don't such stuff often. Seriously, it was like the 4th time. Come to think of it, Rarity had the most romantic interests... Well, I think it adds a bit more... ugh... fun..? to the show!
-Overview-
Sweet episode. 10 out of 10
Have a nice day/night guys!   


P.s; I love this face. This is the face of perfection.

Pinkie Pride Review

Hi!
That was a crazy episode, wasn't? All the singing, all the partying - it was fun!

-Summary-
After throwing an awesome party at Appleloosa, Cheese Sandwich, this guy:


decides to go to Ponyville as the next destination...
Back in Ponyville Pinkie is organizing RD's birth-iversary so she sings a song about how awesome she is at party-planning. 
And then, Cheese appears again, and decides that he will plan the party too. Peeps get swept away with all the excitement and forget about Pinkie. Then she licks her tears. Literally.

So she returns home and sings again, and decides to do something else, like surgery or building. 

But when she sees the photos on her wall of happy ponies during parties she organized, she understands that it's her calling   :') 
 Pinkie gears up, and challenges Cheese Sandwich to a goof-off. They sing an epic duet but when the huge piƱata collapses on RD,

it's on

I'm out of puns...
 Pinkie understands the true meaning of laughter and fun.  She calls off the goof-off, forfeiting to Cheese Sandwich.  
When she she was about to leave Ponyville, the gang shows up and assure her that they really need her. And then Cheese confesses that he was inspired to become a party pony after he visited one of Pinkie's parties. 

Pinkie receives Boneless, the rubber duck, from Cheese.

THE KEY

 And guess what? That duck IS the key! WOO HOOOAnyway, after that they all go party, cause Cheese and Pinkie organized a badass party for RD! 

i want to do that...

-Music-
This is something that has to be mentioned. WEIRD AL YANKOVIC GUYS! HE WAS IN THIS EPISODE, PONIFIED! 
And how could this episode not be a musical? I'm extremely happy that there was so many songs! My favorite probably was Super-Duper-Party Pony or the Goof-off song. 

-Personal Opinion-
Well, I got a new fave episode. And all these songs were so amazing! 
By the way, Pinkie + Cheese Sandwich = perfection!  
Don't you think that the perfect name for their would be....drumroll... Cheese Cake?!
 Adorable!
And, despite that I'm against the superhyperactivecrazypartypony Pinkie Pie, but she was
 perfect here! 
Should I even mention the facial expressions?  


-Overview-
Awesomesause episode. 11 out of 10!

Have a superduperawesomefabulousgreatandstuff day/night



look into the face of party...
