My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic is a pop-culture icon for Hasbro. When it first aired, it was mostly centered for little girls, but it gained a cult following for Men named “Bronies”, who are fans of the show. Bronies proved to the world that stereotypes aren’t everything, and even to this day, Bronies are still fans of the show, even after it ended in 2019. I admit I am a Brony. Not to mention every Brony in the fandom has a favorite pony from the show. Even someone like me has a favorite pony, from the Tomboyish Rainbow Dash to the book lover Twilight Sparkle. There are a lot of ponies to choose from to make your best pony, but the best pony for me is Pinkie Pie. She’s a pink pony with energetic quirks and a big happy personality. I can’t really explain to you who Pinkie pie is in this whole article. I just have to show you her character by showing her Best and Worst Episodes involving her character arc. The best part about the show My Little Pony, is even though it’s mostly for kids, they tend to make sure all of their characters are well developed. So, I’m going to rank most of these episodes, but not all in part from me, mostly from a website called IMDB, which ranks episodes from user reviews, mostly so I can stay neutral when doing this ranking. 


I chose most episodes that either was centered on Pinkie in her perspective that involved her dialogue, actions, and even her messages at the end of each episode. I will also explain some of Pinkie’s character arc through each episode as well. Since there will be mostly thirteen, there is a lot to go over, so you might have to go and watch the show yourself.

This is the worst Pinkie Pie episode in the series and has the lowest rank in this list. It’s even hated by the fans. It mostly portrays Pinkie as annoying rather than sensitive to her friends about her hobby. It even portrayed her friends as mean because they don’t tell her in a more reasonable tone about her new hobby.
