Ah yes... THE Pinkie Pie Centered Episode which shows her whole personality and what she is doing in Ponyville besides her profession as confectioner - She tries to bring joy to each and everyone at any cost and make friends that way. and even Sings about it with one of the greatest Song this Series ever had to offer. (*) To her dismay it didnt work out with Cranky Doodle, a Donkey who traveled all around equestria in search for his one true love since years and just wants to settle down in piece and quiet. But Pinkie Pie had other plans and thus unfolds a story about bringing joy, followed by rejection and over-the-top super-hyper antics into madness and sadness, to a great reuniting and a happy end.
* I wont go that much into detail here, again Pinkie_applepie already covered the song and this topic with a great comment before me, thank you 💙 :)
Some points to note:
The Babysitting episode was the last Pinkie-Centered episode and before that was the "Party-of-One" Episode
That Song is one of my most favourite Songs ever, it even got anthem-like status in the fandom.
Starting relatively simple, it has one of the best buildups this show had to offer. I love how it got grander and more gorgeous with more and more ponies joining in until everypony in Ponyville participated in a big choir with a great finale. Shannon Chan-Kent (the Singing-VA for Pinkie-Pie) and everyone else did a great job here!
I love that name Cranky Doodle Donkey.
8:36 Even her thoughts are different (Did she just take the checkmark out of her thoughts?)
Wow, what a way to welcome him... and to even mess it up THAT hard :O - but have to admit it WAS hilarious.
That Spa-Treatment was definitely a good way to pay it back.
14:04 Did u spot her? ;)
Well Pinkie Pie shouldnt have taken his things, but it wasnt entirely her fault that it burned down.
It's Nice to see RD reading that Daring Do Book. (🙌continuity🙌 :D)
A nice facepal... er facetable by Twilight - i think many did that at this point XD
You cant outrun Pinkie... it must truly be terrifying :O
The lovestory between Cranky and Mathilda is so lovely and sad at the same time :(
And finally Pinkie understood the meaning of being more considerate of others boundaries, which was needed!
And yeah the lesson was good, but a little bit more would have helped.
Thank you for this reaction! Good that you liked it that much :)

Funny I was just gonna post something at this time and saw you commented 😂.
But yes! The more I think of it, this was a fantastic episode. Used pinkie’s overbearing nature to reconnect cranky with a love that he was searching endlessly for. Using her friendship and socializing to connect the pieces. Also a great song. Still wanted some parts and you’re right that twilight did tell her that and that’s why she she was going to apologize. And yes 4th wall pinkie too much. She’s the definition of doing too much because she loves and cares.
Oh and I had no idea Pinkie was your favorite. No idea AT ALL

This episode is very special, everyone loved this episode, it’s one of my favorites the smile song is super huge in fandom, one of the first songs that really caught on besides winter wrap up, people will sing the smile song at cons, beautiful story about a lost love and how pinkie helped cranky find her, pinkie was over the top but again that’s her personality, lol if your running from her you’ll never get away, it’s a joke because of her 4th wall breaking is so insane, so it can come off as creepy or scary, pinkie is one of my favorites as you can tell so I love her center episodes, I do agree that the message could’ve been that not everyone will be your friend and that is what twilight told her, but the message was that some friends want it be left alone or are more introverted and want privacy and have boundaries and pinkie finally understood at the end.
