Post by: Rainberry on 2018-07-20 13:12:58
My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic - "Yakity Sax"

It is the 18th episode of season 8. It premiered out of order after episode 13.  Episode 14 will premier August 4. The "Yakity Sax" episode premiered July 20th, 2018 in an unexpected showing on Discovery Kids.

SYNOPSIS:
In this episode, Pinkie Pie picks up playing a bizarre instrument as a new hobby, but her friends get annoyed by her inability to play it.

I haven't seen it, but my feeling is lets get the annoying yak episode over with.  Don't like the Yak's at all.  :P

Now I need to figure out how to watch this episode since I missed it completely. :P

"I am not feeling this one.  Pinkie has been associated with the Yaks one too many times with this episode.  The problem with her playing could've easily been dealt with, with her playing in an area where others didn't have to suffer.  It was hard to really feel sorry for Pinkie when she making others miserable and acting like the Zenithrash was the only thing that mattered in her life.  Abandoning her friends to live with the Yaks just felt very out of character for her to do. Especially with no good bye." - Quick review by ShadowBeast.

I am not feeling this episode either.  Not a fan of Pinkie Pie or the yaks.  I hope this episode proves me wrong.  Not sure why it suddenly aired out of nowhere?

Airing an episode on Friday? Weird.

Nice to see the mane 6 are learning from their recent mistake with Celestia.

Pinkie sneezes once!

Pinkie sneezes once!

How was the sneeze?  We can say we got a sneeze this season.  Pinkie actually sneezes a lot.

So it was an interesting episode.  I liked it, but at the same time, it had many interesting flaws that I didn't find appealing.  I felt Pinkie Pie was out of character, but at the same time... sort of not.  The Yak's always annoy me, but in this episode they came off pretty okay.  I liked seeing Twilight and the Mane6 try to figure out what to do.  We saw Rainbow Dash be very supportive and take a bit of a leading role in some aspects as well as Applejack.

It was just a strange episode, but like I said... I liked it.

I will give it a 7/10.

So I was surprised that the episode wasn't nearly as bad as I was expecting.  I sort of just assume that Yaks and Pinkie Pie will equal a horribly bad episode.  It was actually the complete opposite and I found it enjoyable.  It was a pretty shallow episode, but it did have a good meaning behind it.  It really wasn't much more then Pinkie annoying people with her horrible playing.  But the lesson was more then that.  It focused on how some things we may be horrible at, but still take joy in them.  I liked that.

8/10.  Good episode.

Maybe it has just been too long since I've seen a new episode that this one, which probably would have annoying me, actually was good.  It didn't focus much on Pinkie Pie thankfully and instead followed the others.  Yaks played a minimal role, and it had a good, often never spoken message.  Good episode, solid.  8/10.

That instrument kind of reminds me of a bagpipe.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Yakity Sax"
Post by: Soda on 2018-07-22 20:55:19
Not sure why Pinkie likes that instrument so much.

The Mane 6 really just have to tell her she should stop.

Wow, Pinkie Pie took that well.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Yakity Sax"

Oh, no she didn't....

Ok Mane 6, make her feel good.

Well that didn't work out as they had hoped.

PINKIE PIE SNEEZE!!!! :D :D :D

Pinkie has sneezed a TON in this series.  Maybe more then Rarity now.
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Yakity Sax"
Post by: Soda on 2018-07-22 21:02:17
That seems very unlike Pinkie... maybe?  She just leaves without saying anything?!?!? Not even a goodbye to her best friends?  All over and instrument? 
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Yakity Sax"
Post by: Soda on 2018-07-22 21:03:32
I like this episode so far.  I like seeing the Mane 6 work together again.

And they find Pinkie DRINKING candy and ice cream like a hard drink.

Well, well.  Will she play it well?
Title: Re: MLP:FiM - "Yakity Sax"
Post by: Soda on 2018-07-22 21:07:48
Nope, but she is having fun doing it!

And there is our message this episode.  You aren't always good at something but you can still enjoy it.

So yeah, we got a surprise episode here and I will say it was very good.  I liked the characters even though Pinkie Pie seemed a bit odd but right at the same time. Pinkamena returned in this episode too and we got a nice sneeze.  Pinkie Pie also had a scandalous relationship with an instrument!  Lol!  I give this episode a great score of 9 out 10.  I liked it!

Seems like this was a fairly successful episode. :)

I think it was.  I was pretty happy with it the more I thought about it.  It was a strange episode in that I wasn't sure if I liked it a lot or not at first.  It was hard to figure out.

I am confused.  This episode premiered, yet Discovery Kids says it is supposed to premier August 25th.  So I am not sure if it is premiering tomorrow or another episode...?

The early DiscFam airing was a part of the Summertime event DiscFam had.

No new episode.  Just a repeat of this episode.

Finally watched this.

I liked the episode. ^-^ It was tough seeing Pinkie so depressed. :( The sneeze was cute.

The yak shedding a single tear got me. XD

I forgot to score this episode.  I would give it a 7/10.  It was good, but Pinkie Pie just doesn't interest me in this episode.

This episode gets a 6/10 for me.  Pinkie Pie seemed so wrong here.  Worse then she usually is.  She didn't say goodbye to her friends or try to work things out.  But I will say there were some funny things in this episode.  But overall it just wasn't up to par.

One of my pet peeves in cartoons is when a character makes a "best friend" with a new character or item and all of a sudden can't break up with it and it's like the worst thing ever they break up with it, even though they barely have known it.  It's like it's worse then taking them away from their true best friends they've been with forever.  Just lazy writing.

In a very weird way, despite all the sins this episode did with the charatcer, I liked it.  8/10.
