Really looking forward to this episode.

Flutterfan said...

Nice. I wish they'd do this for every episode. A screenshot + short clip sure makes it easier to wait until Sat.

naahdude said...

They haven't done that since Episode 2!

:D

Tanner G said...

YES. It feels like it's been so long since we've seen the six of them having an exchange. So nice to see the characters bouncing off each other like that again.

Stargazer said...

I always felt that Angel bunny was more of a roommate personally but I guess then Fluttershy would be left in the dark...

greenie-pie said...

Excellent! Come on scootaloo as a pet!

wackyteen said...

they haven't done this since episode 4. :3

Harwick said...

There's so much fun in this little clip, as noted in that other thread... From "brain-slug" Gummy (as termed by Sgt Byrd) to prehensile tail Applejack to Pinkie throwing Twilight, Rarity and AJ under the bus.

As I said before, I sympathize with some fans who don't like it, but I have to admit that Pinkie's enthusiastically oblivious insensitivity this season never fails to get a laugh out of me.

James Corck said...

D: And now I feel terrible for Dashie ;_;

naahdude said...

@wackyteen

Link? I couldn't find this :S

Figment said...

So much alliteration.

PaperCamm said...

This feels too much like marketing. Wheres some damned AJ episodes?

Jelfes said...

Cool. Looking forward to this Saturday even more so!

Elrond said...

D'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw ... FLUTTERSHY!! <3

Drazla said...

*Nods head* Eeekeeekeekeee.

Oh so adorable.

Astropilot said...

"Exactly"

Honest Applejack

RainbowDash said...

its not like im jelly about your pets anyway. ill just go back to my napping and wont go somewhere to find a new pet, hmph good day.

terrycloth said...

Sisterhooves Social had a lot of AJ.

Select Few said...

FFFFFFFLLLLLLUUUUUUTTTTTTEEEERRRRSSSHHHHYYYYY!!!
She Returns!

Elrond said...

@ PaperCamm
It would be marketing, if their toys actually came with the right pets. The AJ toy I've seen in my local toystore had a pink cat or something. And MLP:FIM was greenlighted by Hasbro so they could sell more shit to kids. Its just luck that Lauren and the rest of the team she put togehter were put on this project or else it would be just lame marketing for children.The MLP:FIM team turned My Little Pony from something really girly and just for marketing, into something really awesome!

Laurence Brown said...

Fluttershy pawing at the ground: Pardon me, I need to go find someplace to squee without making too big of a scene.

NeoArtimus said...

My Zebra sense tells me irony is going to hit and she is going to choose a really slow animal not shown in the picture.

Gondala said...

*A CHALLENGER APPEARS* Is...is THAT a TURTLE?!

Pawn Heart said...

Okay, so that clip was awesome. And nary a CMC in sight!

Padster96 said...

And then.............. IT BEGAN

Tylendal said...

Am I the only one who thinks that the characters are using their tails a bit too much in season 2?

kwj said...

Gummy is all like
"i'm gonna suck your brain"

WWRDD? said...

Alright Scootaloo, Now you have a real reason to dress as a chicken!

Nolim said...

Nodding pony car accessories soon to be popular!

Tylendal said...

Great to see Owlicious still around. It's always sucks in other shows when something like that is immediately forgotten for the rest of the series.

twilightsparkl3 said...

Poor Rainbow Dash got dissed hard core :/

Cyberlight said...

HA HA! I posted this to seth, nice response time! :3
with this i am now even more excited for saturday!

Smashmatt202 said...

Winona and Owlowiscious make a return at long long last! Also, Gummy and Angel are in top form!

Travis Smith said...

Please have a pet wolf Rainbow, please :)

Sonic Flare said...

AWWW YEA THE RETURN OF OWLICIOUS!!! I hope he has some new witty comebacks that I can add to my soundboard!

Rainbow Dash said...

yesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyesyes

Tears of a Valedictorian said...

@Laurence Brown

Argh, I was trying to resist watching the clip, but you just broke me.

To the internet!

ponydoraprancypants said...

@Tylendal

It's bothering me a little bit that they've become fully prehensile.

Pawn Heart said...

@Smashmatt202 Yeah, actually cool to see Owlowiscious... still, can't help thinking that it'd would've been funny for Twi to have brought Spike on a leash...

JiiKoo said...

Fluttershy! yay! Also, pawing at ground --> D'aww
All of Mane 6 in one episode is cool, too.

Starfire said...

@ponydoraprancypants, yeah. AJ could've easily used her mouth to throw that stick. Monkey tail not necessary.

Octavia said...

Almost a whole minute right there. :P

"And Fluttershy and I nodded our heads in agreement like this." *nodnodnodnodnod* Of course I love how Fluttershy's head just keep going afterwards. lol

I feel bad for Dash too after that instant. But she'll surely get it sorted out. :)

marioandsonic said...

Fluttershy's back after being absent for two episodes!

yay...

nathandash said...

noooo NOT THE OWL!!! i hated that guy. sorry. he was just so lame.

redskin122004 said...

why do i get the feeling she might get a hedgehog?

Nathaniel said...

Oh my, I can't wait until Saturday to see how this episode turns out!

Geeblerful said...

Yes! Fluttershy! And Owlowicious! Woot!

FlutterPiePancakes said...

Owlowiscious I missed you!!!

broniesinarms said...

fluttershy's nodding head needs to be made into a gif.

NOW

RainbowDash said...

they could have told me nicer *tear drop*

pg13fresno said...

First I was all, "Pony-Pet Playdate? Are you kidding me?"

But then Pinkie nodded Fluttershy's head, and all was well. Poor Dashie...

As for that owl...I don't know. The problem with "Owl's Well" was that his entire reason for existing was to make Spike miserable, and then single-handedly save the day in a contrived manner. But since I presume he'll have a smaller presence in this episode (since it is a Rainbow Dash one and all), he might not annoy me as much this time.

BTW, was Opal in the clip? I didn't see that darn cat anywhere.

Multiversity said...

Wow. It's only been five or so minutes and look at the comments already.

Anyway, yeah, they really love their alliteration, don't they?

Joe said...

@Devon1625

Just look at all the fucks everyone is giving!!

Anyways, cool clip :P Though I still think Dashie having a pet is kinda ooc.

Nämahs said...

Ahh, Dash centric episode. I think I forgot how much I was looking forward to this one

Unknown said...

Is Owlicious ok with being called a pet? Really :0?

can't wait for this epi! well I can't wait for any episode xD Saturday come faster!

Morthgarrow said...

My personal take regarding the whole "prehensile tails" thing:
Applejack has always used her tail like a "third arm"; she uses it to lasso things and even perform crazy tricks with it like in Boast Busters. I hardly think whipping her tail back and forward to throw a stick several yards means it's suddenly becoming "fully prehensile", at least for the complaint that this is some recent development this season.

Besides, tails are something ponies have that otherwise would just lazily stick around behind them, why not actually use them occasionally? (especially since they don't have hands, so having a tail "grip" something may seem more visually realistic than a hoof, even if it's actually not).

On the actual clip, no real surprises, but still cute and well animated. I'm looking forward to this episode, as usual!

Blazestorm said...

can't wait until the new episode

Peter said...

Good God! The damn owl is back! KILL IT! KILL IT!!!!!!!!!

ponydoraprancypants said...

@Morthgarrow

See "The Cutie Pox" for egregious prehensile tail evidence, including weightlifting, loopty-hooping, and reaching into a bag to pull out seeds.

Spikely Whiplash said...

@Harwick

I agree with one YouTube commenter that Pinkie's trying to avoid a "Party of One" situation for Rainbow Dash by explaining the whole situation up front.

Flutterlove said...

So Rainbow Dash feels excluded and uses a contest to deem which animal is "worthy" of being her pet. Huh, this episode is only solidifying her position as Least favorite Pony for me.

Dan Guitar-Guy Gaertner said...

Where can i get a Fluttershy bobblehead?

AllyOmega said...

While I've loved season two, I've felt that there's just been something missing from it that was in season one. I couldn't tell you what it was. It just made the show feel.... Awesome. I have to say, this clip has that feel. I smiled ear to ear by the end of the clip, and I can barely keep myself from doing it as I type this comment.
EXTREMELY looking forward to this episode.

Jonathan said...

Pinkies voice doesnt sound as excentric as usual does it? At the end of her last line she almost sounds normal.

Harwick said...

@ponydoraprancypants

The weightlifting was one of the few instances where I couldn't convince myself that it wasn't any more prehensile than Indiana Jones' whip. Hard to imagine that, no matter how talented one is at waiving such a thing, it could possibly lift a barbell.

Something To Quack About said...

Yes, Applejack using her tail to perform zany lasso tricks is just peachy, but using it to throw a stick for her dog? KILL HER! STRING HER UP!

I'm liking how Gummy is basically suction-cupped to Pinkie's head the whole time. And it's good to see Owlowiscious back! I love that creepy son of a bitch.

Lemonite said...

If this is any indications, Pinkie's gonna be awesome in this episode! :P

And I'm pretty sure "Eeexactly!" is AJ's new catchphrase. xD

lesserpoet said...

@naahdude

Owlowiscious... the owl. From Owls well that ends well? First season?

Lemonite said...

@Jonathan
I'd have to agree with you if this tone of voice didn't fit so well with the scene. Makes it more silly. :P

Howdy said...

First rule of Pet Club: Do not talk about Pet Club.

Ms.Greene said...

MORE GUMMY. YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEES!

Ahem.

:3

Spikely Whiplash said...

@redskin122004

I think a fox with an extra tail might suit her better.

Ot, hell, Scootaloo with an extra tail.

Greenf0x said...

Yes, Rainbow Dash woooooo

Greenf0x said...

We need Fluttershy bobble heads...stat!!!

Son Gopaul said...

I love the way Applejack says "Eeeh-xactly."

Bio-spy09 said...

This clip makes me even more excited for the new episode :)! It looks like this episode will include all the main ponies :D!!! PINKIE PIE FTW!!!!!

Saylisk said...

I just fell in love with Pinkie Pie... again.

Mojo said...

Gummy is the greatest character ever.

fuyons said...

Lol at Pinkie Pie...DAT FACE!

Forte8910 said...

@Ms.Greene Gummi is best brain slug

Ms.Greene said...

http://i42.photobucket.com/albums/e302/Greenrflower/Flutteshygif.gif

That is all.

Nameless said...

Gummy is officially best pet

PitViperOfDoom said...

Owlowiscious is back! OWLOWISCIOUS IS BACK!

Fire Flash said...

lol, Fluttershy looks like one of those drinking bird desk toys.

Morthgarrow said...

@ponydoraprancypants

Again, I don't see the harm in giving the tail a bit of life. Sure, lifting barbells with one is downright silly compared to most feats, but it's not like they haven't been using tails in "impossible" manners before that episode.

If suddenly all sorts of crazy actions involving impossible usages of tails became the norm, sure, I'd dislike that. A few silly tail uses every so often? Perfectly fine for magical cartoon pony standards, at least for me.

JC said...

@Peter
Agreed... -_-

Anyhow, it IS nice to see them all interacting again. Focusing on particular characters is great, but they should still all hang out together too!

TB3 said...

@PaperCamm

Wasn't Sisterhooves Social enough? Applejack practically got as much focus as Rarity through her interactions with Applebloom and Sweetie Belle.

So far, its Pinkie, Fluttershy and Rainbow that have been missing out on meaningful scenes - personally, I can't wait.

I also look forward to seeing what will probably be Rainbow's first flirt with self-awareness, aka a friendship report to Celestia - now that should be interesting...

RD: Spike, take a letter...wait a second, do baby dragons qualify as pets? Hey Twi - can I have Spike when his wings grow in? I've got a collar and everything made up with the name 'Baron Awesome' on it...

TS: Well, he would be getting too big for the library by then...maybe a home in the clouds would give him more room, so...

RD: Aw yeah! This is going to be so awesome! A flying buddy who'll also do my mail and toast marshmallows for me! (pumps hoof in victory!)

Spike: Ahem! Don't I get a say in this?

RD: Shut up Baron Awesome! Mama's talking with Twilight.

Zenhoof the Wise said...

All I ask of this episode is the return of my favorite pet, Philomena.

sygmus said...

Gummy reminds me of the headsucker from the Powerpuff Girls episode The Headsucker's Moxie.

TranceBrony said...

Rainbow's pet will obviously be a bird of some sort, as she has wings and it would be kind of weird if her pet wouldn't have wings to keep up with her

seniumboy said...

Oh my god that little 40+ second clip just got me pumped for this Saturday!!

RinellaWasHere said...

Noddershy made me squee.

Travis Smith said...

@TranceBrony
Yes but imagine a flying wolf being her pet. Yes

LimeyLassen said...

@PaperCamm

It's only real marketing if they actually sold toys of the pets. Which they don't. XD

Tamar said...

SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!¬

:3 said...

A CLOUD. Dashies pet must be a cloud!
No bird or ground pets...or maybe Scootaloo is bestest choice.

dw1482 said...

So looking forward to this!
Though it does make me feel worse about not getting tickets to see "Hey Ocean" preform at my campus bar tomorrow night.
(Their lead singer is Ashleigh Ball!)

Canadian said...

Pretty hype for a Rainbow Dash episode. Saturday can't come quick enough.

Stoic said...

there we go its an eppie with the mane 6

hopefully everyone will be better now with their pony fix on Saturday!

Also, the last bit on the snippet...so sad kind of Aple kinda rubbing it into rainbow's face (You don't have a pet.) sort of exactly....

Crunch Nugget said...

Dash should get a flying fish that lives in clouds.

Planetary Genocide said...

I think I like Twi with the Owl much more than Twi with Spike sitting there.

Spike needs a pet too.

Demon Donkey said...

Rainbow ain't even mad.

Flamewar said...

RD- (i feel bad, and I can't show it because i have way to much pride, but i want them to invite me to stay...)"not much point in a pony pet play date for me if i'm a pony without a pet right?" AJ-"Exactly!" RD- (awwwww v.v)

ninonybox said...

It sucks that im not going to see this ep until Tuesday....going up north for bear.

jeremiah said...

Owlowicious is BACK! where he been?

RapstallionJ said...

Fluttershy is digging in the dirt for innocent creatures! We never did find out why Zecora did that either.

daBomb619 said...

I can tolerate Owlowiscious if they don't make that idiotic "Who?" joke ever again.

ponponpinkie said...

akdjrwefnqwevhefdq im excited!

Rusty Star said...

May the best turtle or chicken/dodo wins!

artsyfartsy1998 said...

I knew there would be something to do with pets! I knew it!

drakethedragon said...

Where's the picture of RD's pet canidates? I'm apparently missing it

Lizzy Pie said...

A parrot or a tortoise...

I Lol'd at Gummy XD

ZeroCereal said...

Owloysius! How I've missed you! :D

Phantom240 said...

I needs me a Fluttershy bobblehead!

firestonex said...

OMG Pinkie's disembodied arm is freaking me out.

Risky said...

okay, at about 27 or 28 seconds in, Pinkie pies voice changes just ever so slightly, and she suddenly sounds... I don't know how to describe it. It just sounded so human and weirdly teenage girl like.

Oh, and she'll either end up getting an awesome hawk and if god is good will name it Baron Awesome and make the life of one fan fic writer... or she'll get a turtle that loves her. The fastest turtle in equestria, named Sparks.

Risky said...

@RapstallionJ
Thats how real Zebra's dig for water or some kind of grass. That and she apparently wanted to find some herb that only grows in ponyville.

Risky said...

@dw1482
Why the hell would you pass that up?!

(wow... 3 comments, 3 minutes... need to do homework...)

Takeshi said...

Rainbow Dash:

This is the place I would take my pet...

IF I HAD ONE!!!!

cpbrony said...

Is RAINBOW DASH going to DRESS IN STYLE in this episode?

Travis Smith said...

@dw1482
WHERE DO YOU LIVE! AND WHAT CAMPUS?

Ezzekiel said...

@Risky THANK YOU! I was totally starting to believe nopony had read that amazing fic, what with talk of turtles and wolves floating around. I will squee SO HARD if she does get a falcon for a pet, Baron Awesome needs to be cannon. *monocle*

Travis Smith said...

What's wrong with it being a Wolf?

Cátsy said...

Applejack+Plus blunt honesty= Hoof in mouth

Energy said...

It looks like its gonna be a great episode. But you know what i wish? A Scootaloo episode would come along. She's like the only one who hasnt got one yet. Both the other crusaders have. Anyway, cant wait for the new episode

AnAwesomeAardvark said...

Rainbow Dash MUST find a snail buddy!

Mason said...

Looks like Fluttershy is having a break from Skyrim :D

WhiteDiamonds said...

A wolf?? Honestly where did that one come from... that doesn't even make sense. Ah well.

In any case, really looking forward to this episode... I adore all of the cute little pony-pets~ ^.^

AdamRB said...

RD: "You didn't invite me?"
PP: "We were, but then we remembered you don't have a pet."
RD: "Oh right! That's cool. :)"

End of Episode

Boy, that's a short episode.

ssendas said...

i bet she'll find something herself.

and no , it WON'T BE A TURTLE!

SomeGuy said...

Really looking forward to this.
I can see them going either one of two ways; 1) Dash gets her pet but it wont be the obvious choice (i.e. one of the birds/bat from the screen shot) but some slow animal. I think it would still have to be a flying creature so it can stay in the clouds. Or 2) she realizes that she doesn't need a pet to be fulfilled. Friendship lesson: It's OK if all your friends have something that you don't, nor should you exclude a friend because they lack something. And then the others let Dash join the Pet Club and play with all their pets.
I hope it is the former not the latter.

Rainbow Dash said...

ARGH THERE TWO OTHER UNIVERSE ME'S ON HERE WHAT THE HAY IS GOING ON HERE!?!?!
And seriously you guys will see what kind of pet I get. If I'm not too lazy and can be bothered with getting a pet =^=

SomeGuy said...

@Risky I noticed the change in Pinkie's voice too. I think she is loosing steam as she begins to realize how negative Rainbow would take the way she explained things, hence the awkward smile at the end.

Midnight_Star said...

Rainbow should have an ill tempered falcon that snaps at the eyes of others, or and ill tempered monkey who throws things at people, or an ill tempered pelican that likes to try and fit people it it's mouth, or and ill tempered fish who constantly plots for world domination and evidenced by his periodic shifty eyes, possibly a sea bass with a laser later attached to his head.

Either way, it should be ill tempered.

Ozimul said...

And then Applejack felt bad the moment she said it and hilarity ensued.

Chucklesmoke Spray said...

Looks great, everything this season's been missing, a "team" story. I think it would be awesome if it were the bat.

and SCOOTALOO is the BEST pony and definately needs an episode, with a song. We need more METAL!

AceBriggs6 said...

Can't you just feel the sarcasm oozing from Dash's voice? -.-

palatank said...

I think she might get that maticore, or .....
maybe a rock

Heartmend said...

@TB3

Applejack hasn't had her amazingly epic episode yet. Trust me, AJ fans are still waiting.

WJMill said...

Winona is back!! I hope this makes Hasbro want to release toys with the 'right pets'. :/

David said...

Coincidentally, that's how the episode ends.

"Now point if I don't even have a pet."
"Eeeex-actly."

*cut*

-MYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY...
(little ponyyyy...)

SailorCardKnight said...

@ PaperCamm and the rest, this episode seems like a marketing gimmick to me. Sure the pony toys Hasbro has been putting out don't match the pony's pets in the show, but they still come with "pets" in the toys don't they? I'm sure the only reason why any of the mane 6 have pets are because Hasbro wanted them to have pets because of the toys. You people gotta remember that the only reason why FIM exists is because Hasbro wants to sell toys, without the drive to sell toys there would be no FIM, or any of the previous MLP series for that matter.

Bunnylisk said...

How the hell did Rarity manage to get Opal out there without suffering major blood loss?

Forb.Jok said...

Is it just me, or does this episode have the potential to be really good?
All the M6 together, and interacting, and Pinkie being Pinkie, just like in season 1!

coolestmuthafucka said...

bout time they did it like the old days, with all the mane 6 ^_^ oh and i sooooooooooooooo want scootaloo to be her pet XD it'd be sooooooo adorable.

X X X said...

I'll now wonder who will be Rainbow Dash's pet :3

PaperCamm said...

@naahdude please, that's got Rarity written all over it. They have to appear in the intro for the episode to be about them

ultra8 said...

@ TB3
That idea is just to awesome not to use for the show or a fic.

This clip has me pumped for Sat. and it's nice to get a tease of what's to come.
Freaking Shortcake has an endless reel of commercials to promote one new eps., it'd be nice to see Pony get one more often but it makes sense since so many don't have the Hub.

pmcollectorboy said...

I think the four animals represent the four sides of Rainbow Dash.

Hawk: fast
Eagle: smug
Owl: her thinking side(such as it is)
Bat: her teeny tiny hidden need for the warm fuzzy feelings

Rocket to Insanity said...

If the falcon wins..........

We call him "captain"

If the eagle wins ......

We call him "Sam"

If the bat wins.....

We make tons of batman jokes

ssendas said...

her pet will be 20% cooler than other animals!

Iliana Bliss said...

We could never be mad at you, Fluttershy!

And hey, Owloloscious is still here! Yay!

Rohit Eligeti said...

Owloloscious is there! thank god for that.
Em what about Spike? ;D

Viridian said...

"Not much point in a Pony Pet Playdate if I'm a Plo--" BlaAaagh! That's such a tongue-twister I can't even TYPE it right! O_o;

cluztershy said...

owlicious and winona are back!

Latioenx said...

I love it when Pinkie Pie uses her normal voice <3 shows that she isn't some silly bimbo, as a few fans I've come across think. Pinkie Pie ain't all sugar and high pitches, guys.

PaperCamm said...

@TB3 it was not enough. What you expect from a character driven episode is growth and change for whomever it's focus is on. Applejack has had three, arguably four, episodes with the focus on her. Not one has occurred this season as of yet.

ElectricZoNe said...

This episode looks awesome, I just wonder if its coming out tomorrow or in two weeks?

Chaos Knux said...

A turtle would be an awesome pet for RD, yes...

but what about a hedgehog?

Mattwo said...

Oh snap! Owlicious returns!

I guess they didn't forget about him after all.

Inb4gummyreplacesalienswarmparasitereskinfortf2

Mattwo said...

@Chaos Knux

I think the summary said it was a FLYING race.

Makes sense because rainbow dash still lives in cloudsale as far as I know.

bobmortar said...

Where can I find that screenshot y'all are talking about?

Flutterguy said...

SHE GETS A TURTLE, CALLING IT NOW

bronycrystal said...

omgomgomgomgomgomgomg rainbow your so AWESOME

Jonny Manz said...

@naahdude
Actually, they did it for Episode 4, "Luna Eclipsed." (And btw, I only glanced at comments, so if someone else corrected him above me, don't bother saying anything about it.

Travis Smith said...

I still say Wolf. End of discussion

Haze said...

I always wondered what happen to Owlowiscious since S1E24, seems he's still hanging by Twilight's. lol

Wierdplatformer said...

XD No I really can't wait for the episode tomorrow.
