Despite being an antagonist in his episode and pretty much percieved as a jerk, he wasn't really that bad of a character up until the whole phoenix egg incident. Spike is a generally physically weak character, so they teased him about being a pony. When Spike was determined to prove he wasn't a pony, they tested him, and he eventually proved himself, to which they all happily accepted him into their group and they all had fun together. Plus, when you're part of a species shunned and feared by the majority of the continent you live on, you pretty much have rather limited forms of entertainment. While that doesn't make it right, you can't blame them for trying to have fun in the few ways that they can.
