Because Applejack was acting completely out of character. She was stupid, she's never acted like this, and she wasn't even acting like a real person (she was acting like Pinkie Pie). This episode was extremely painful to watch. You cannot watch all the other episodes and then watch this episode and say "yeah, it's the same!" She was Flanderized to the point of it being characterization. Applejack was acting like a character in a show that's meant for toddlers, and while this show is meant for small children, what made it so great and so far above all entertainment intended for that age group was that the characters were intelligent, 3-dimensional, had common sense, and acted like real people. This was Lauren Faust's vision; she said she wanted the characters to act like real people, and she also said whilst developing Friendship is Magic that she didn't want to make a show for babies, and that if Hasbro had tried to turn it into that, she would quit right then and there. So doesn't Scott Sonneborn's portrayal of Applejack ruin/go against Faust's vision? I refuse to acknowledge what we say in this episode as Applejack. This is not Applejack. Applejack does not act like this. She does not make a fool of herself because she conducts herself in a dignified manner and possess things like "common sense", "a work ethic", "shame" and "a brain". In this episode, "Applejack" was acting like something out of post-movie Spongebob Squarepants. "Applejack"? More like "Applejackass".
