Oddly enough, I found her quite in-character in this episode in the more negative parts of her character. Pinkie can be thoughtless, insensitive and generally 'my way or the highway' in her attitude to other ponies' feelings. She knows best on how to make them happy and she really has a hard time ever admitting that she's got it wrong.

What really fails to make it fail to work for me and, I suspect, many other fans was it was aired out-of-sequence in characterisation terms. If it was aired before Pinkie Pride, in which Pinkie learnt the lesson that it needs to be about other ponies' happiness, not her own desire to make them happy in her definition of it, it would have made sense. As it was, it seemed like retro-characterisation.
