In some ways, Pinkie was her own worst enemy in this episode.

Her friends are so used to her doing things that are eccentric, inexplicable or actively irrational for no apparent reason that they've learnt to stop asking 'why'. If they'd actually asked Pinkie why she wanted these things, they could have assisted and some manner of co-ordinated strategy could have been set up with the Ponyville town band escorting the Parasprites out into the Everfree before they did too much damage.
