Talk:Not Asking for Trouble/@comment-10390252-20170617161457

"Not Asking for Trouble"? More like "Not asking leads to Trouble"! I do think that Rutherford probably owes his continued position to Pinkie and her willingness to handle this discreetly!

A nice, funny episode. I found it very much in the form and style of Season 1 and 2. A fairly simple (if challenging, in this case) moral and some innocently fun humour. I liked how Pinkie tried to humour Rutherford's near-neurotic pride in increasingly bizarre and over-exaggerated ways. It was also neat how the Mane Six tried to help the Yaks keep their pride by sneaking in, helping and then sneaking out without being noticed. Because, sometimes, breaking someone's pride and sense of self-worth can be the nastiest think possible to do to them.

All in all, one of the better episodes of Season 7 to date. The moral of "Let your friends keep their pride if you can; humiliating someone, even if you think that they deserve it, is not the act of a friend" is a challenging one, as I pointed out above. However, I think that Rutherford got the point in the end. That is, after all, what this is all supposed to be about, isn't it?
