Taking Gift of the Maud Pie Too Seriously ft. MangaKamen

[@GamerMage2k-kl4iq]

She was so desperate to get her sister what she perceived as “the best gift” during a time where it was hard to come by that day that she didn’t think to use that logic ATM…

"Do the thing." "Yes sir..." I love the Korra reference.

Zhu Li, do the thing!

[@sofig1237]

Aramau, would you do the thing for the rest of our lives?

[@undeadladybug7723]

Pretty much the only good characters in that trash fire of a show.

[@seanmurphy3430]

Actually, "You and me" works perfectly well in this instance, because the situation is grammatically ambiguous - it's not a full sentence, so the phrase is neither subject nor object.

[@JacobMKeeneAKADrPepperKing]

Wow, I never how realized how funny Rarity saying "All of this and shes like crack?" sounds out of context.

[@BattleshipAgincourt]

5:56 Hey a red stallion with a black jacket and blonde mane! For a moment I thought Firebrand edited himself into the scene.

[@Gungelion]

You know, it does actually make sense for rarity not to make the pouch. If she made it, it would have felt like it came from rarity, instead of pinkie. Pinkie wanted to be one to use her own money and pick out the present herself

[@izzyj.1079]

If memory serves, they said that in the episode.

[@novaiscool1]

But couldn't pinky just pay Rareity for the time and materials used in the same way that she would have paid the bag merchant? Or is that not thought of.

[@izzyj.1079]

I suppose, but when's the last time the Mane6 paid her for anything? I doubt either would've brought it up

[@sarasamaletdin4574]

Onyx, I am quite sure they did not say it. And Rarity just helping Pinkie make it is not Rarity making it. It would have the very least involved as much effort form Pinkie as bying since it would be still her idea and she would buy the materials. And she should be able to sow at least a little with help since it's such an early project too. But there was no sowing machine with them so it would not have worked as a last minute fix. At least I don't think the ponies can sow completely without a machine (or magic) with hooves.

[@izzyj.1079]

Perhaps. Though, now that you've brought it up, the short notice would probably prevent Rarity doing it from being feasible. How long does it take to sew a pouch to Pinkie's specifications? IDK, but I'm sure it can't be done in an afternoon.

[@TatsurouKaos]

"All this and she likes crack?" And not one drug joke.

[@reddiz2182]

Rarity was holding a blunt when she was delivering that line.

Aramau definitely gets MVP on this episode. Especially that humming at the end. I was literally smiling from ear to ear.^w^

[@amosanon8788]

Is it me, or is silver quill the butt of everyone's jokes? (Watches a few more videos...) yeah, okay, he deserves it.

[@phobiawitch835]

I didn't think about why Rarity didn't make the pouch for Pinkie. Until now, at least. Have you ever tried to walk and sew at the same time? Trust me, it's hard. And given that Pinkie was EXTREMELY specific about the material and stitches used to make it, that would mean that Rarity would have been even mkre delayed to check her shop, not to mention she wouldn't have been able to spend the day with Pinkie and Maud. Nor would we have had this episode in general.

[@WulfieZi]

I lost it at 2:45, with the jalapeno cheese spread joke. As a Soldier, I can validate Josh's claim. In basic training, trainees would literally get into fistfights over this stuff.

"Pain is soooooo deliciuuuooos!" Ooohhhhohohoho yes it is MangaKamen, yes it is!

[@hariman7727]

Pinkie didn't think to have Rarity make a pouch beforehand, and tunnel visioned on buying the pouch. This episode is fun for the little comedy and character bits strewn throughout, like Rarity's Pinkie impression, complete with Morph Ball/Spring Ball moment, Maud's ice skating, the Maud Sense, Maud's super slow wink, and other little touches like that.

[@martatarasiuk5198]

And the moral of the story is: if someone ever cons or extorts you in any other way, threaten them. Only good can come out of it and nothing will go wrong.

[@fireline4765]

I like Aramau.

[@shadowldrago]

I understood that Killing Joke reference. Well played.

[@darkblightballas7445]

ShadowL Drago thank you someone understands the joker I mean pinkie pie

[@hariman7727]

Yep. It's one of those dumb animation oversights, but it really fits the darker interpretations of Pinkie Pie. ...Actually, Pinkie Pie taking over as The Joker and being a happier, less deadly Joker would happen. The actual Joker can handle Batman and the cops, but a crazy pink pony who breaks the laws of physics? The only one who could break him faster is a psychic raccoon girl with a boundless sense of humor and a love of kindness/helping out named Quinn.

Personally speaking, I'm rather easy to shop for. Since my birthday is four days apart from Christmas (December 22nd.) My list is basically a half B-Day/half Christmas list. A list that comprises of the most simplistic of items, a handful of DVDs and a book. I say simplistic because some people want EXTREMELY high level gifts. From the latest IPhones, the newest game systems, fancy clothes, jewelry to TROPICAL VACATIONS! Stuff that would cost hundreds of dollars to buy. Whereas my stuff is rather cheap. Some of the DVDs I list have price tags of 20-30 dollars. This way, my family won't have to make unnecessary sacrifices; like Pinkie did

[@spectrumscribble1498]

Earth Ponies, They have heightened senses to the point where it seems like a supernatural 6th sense ie Pinkie Sense & Maud Sense. They detect things in their surroundings and can tell whats about to happen/happening without full comprehension of what exactly is happening/going to happen. This would make sense that this is the earth pony power as Celestial has been shown to have visions before.
