Hmm, I don't know if I'd really count that as Discord's comeuppance.

The point I was getting at is Yakity-Sax and A Matter of Principals share a similar problem in that they both feature a character doing something heinous (Pinkie disturbing the peace and Discord terrorizing innocent children), and expect you to not only find what they're doing funny but also sympathize with them and see them as being in the right while painting the character(s) who try to stop them (the other Mane 6 in YS and Starlight in AMOP) as being in the wrong for doing so. Whereas in this episode, while Twilight does act selfish, her actions aren't treated as if they're the right thing to do and you're expected to see her learn her lesson rather than succeed.
