Littlest Pet Shop - "Penny For Your Laughs" - Talkback [12/01]

[The Huntsman]

Today @ 11:30 AM ET on The Hub​

I doubt their friendship will last, although I would respect the show if it did. I still haven't watched last week's episode, but it does air right before this episode. Perhaps I'll check it out, if I feel like it.

Penny Ling and some other pets think Pepper's stand-up jokes are offensive, but Pepper's oblivious to their feelings. Meanwhile, Blythe befriends the Biskit twins.

Looks like Blythe is following one of my favorite frienship lessions from one of my personnel favorite episodes "Luna Eclipse". At the end of the the episode, Twilight said something about spread friendship around, if someone seems scary, give them a chance, they might surprise you. I hope that is what Brythe is trying to do.

One problem I had with last week's episode, it lacked a good lession or moral, no one learned anything. I don't know what will happen here, but they better not souling that lession, it is like messing with one of my favorite episodes. Don't make the message that you shouldn't give people a chance, judge a book by its cover. I know their friendship won't last, but at the very least, can Blythe discover that different sides to people, and not everything is black and white. If at the end of the episode. Blythe just thinks of spoiled mean girls and that is it, nothing more to them, I will be angry. Is it so much to ask for some character development?

As for the other plot, I don't know, I am not a big fan of Pepper's yet, though ironic voiced by the actresss that voices my two favorite ponies Rarity and Luna. I know I keep refrencing that show, butI am just saying Tabitha voices those characters that I love and voices Pepper, so maybe I will be a little more parsule to her. From the episode title, my favorite character so far Penny Ling is going to be involved. More Penny is always good for me.

This is sure to be, like, totally interesting, based on the preview I've seen.

I hate to make another comparissons, but since the subjects of this episode friendship, I have to say the MLP writers do a much better job than the LPS writers. LPS are good with comedy I give them that and entertainment, they need to learn how to wrap episodes and deliever a good lession or moral.


Clearly the Biskit twins have some social skill problems. They overacted to Blythe helping them, a simple thank you would have been enough. I feel sorry for them actully, they despretely want friends, but they just have terrible social skills, and think the only way to get friends is to buy them, thanks a lot Mr. Biskit, you really messed up your daughters. And Brythe doesn't realise that, that self centered girl, can't you realise a cry for help when it is right in frount. Maybe I am spoiled on MLP because I know Twilight would have handled things better.

And that bully in the episode, she obviously has issues with her height, I thought Brythe would have befriended her at the end, way to go Brythe, Twilight would have resolved that.

And Brythe's friends I didn't like their attitude when Brythe was befriending the Biskits, ever heard of being supportive even if you thought she is making a mistake. In a similar situtation, it was handeled much better in "Griffen, the Brush-off", Pinkie Pie and the others never gave Rainbow Dash an ultimatum like Brythe's friends do here. The Mane 6 > Blythe's friends whatever there names are. Like I said before, I think I am spoiled on MLP and their great writing especially on the subject of friendship.

As of the Pepper plot, Penny was being a bit sensative, but she took it too far. No one knows about sensitivity on this show.

 

[TheGunheart]

Yeah, I think this show is best when it's been all zany like the two before this one. That's its greatest strength. This week felt more like MLP-Lite and suffered for it.

 

[zoombie]

Yeah I think the show's strengh is comedy and entertainment. It's weakness is giving a good lession or moral. It has to work on its execution on that. But that can be worked on, hopefully it improves.

If they do a Christmas episode, I want to see a possitive light on Biskits. Come on it is Christmas for goodness sakes.

I have a weird impasse involving the Biskits.
I want to hate them because they're, like totally, your classic rich valley mean girls who look down on people because of their style.
But I want to sympathize for them because it looks like they don't have any/many friends, which is why they kept trying to make Blythe their friend.

On the pet side, I felt bad for laughing at the song montage with Penny getting hurt.
And Pepper should learn how to mix her routines and, more importantly, know when to stop when it comes to insults.

The problem is, if we are suppose to hate them, they haven't done anything really villainy the last two episodes. Last episode they were just minding their own business, minding their store, they were a little rude to Blythe, but she had no proof that dog belonged to her, and later proofing that they had the right dog all along. This episode they are not doing anything except for being lazy and unatheticly, they get bullies, Blythe saves them, and they over do on their appreciation. But damit they actully show some appreciation, at least they made an effort, they just don't know any better on how to handle that. They were right when they said Blythe wasn't complaining when they gave all those fancy things, when Blythe was telling them off and they called her out on accepting gifts, I was like "yeah you tell her". Really last two episodes, the only thing they can be guilty of is having a snobby attitude. Throw them in jail.

To summerise, if we are suppose to hate the Biskits, than they need to step up their game.

Here is an episode I am hoping for, I like to see an episode when the Biskits have a falling out, and they go to Blythe to be their replacement. And Blythe has to get them to reconcile, so they will leave her alone. I want to see what happens if they are apart.

 

[SaneMan]

In Blythe's defense, she's allot less mature than Twilight, and her age does slightly excuse her
I mean, there aren't too many teens out there with this much insight into the human mind

but yeah, I do kinda feel bad for the twins
for all the luxury they posses, they live a rather pathetic existence
This episode pretty much cemented it
I mean, unlike the stereotypical "rich b*tch" , they don't seem to be particularly popular, and do not have any friends (real friends or a** kissers)
In a way, it's partially their fault, considering the attitude they take to anyone outside their (VERY limited) social circle, but I can imagine that someone with their upbringing would have serious problems interacting with regular people

In a way (if this really was the intention, and I'm not just over-analyzing), it is a more realistic depiction of this sort of situation (a complete failure to communicate, on all sides)

It also reminds me that these are the same people that did "My Gym Partner is a Monkey," which had some pretty cynical messages in it's own right (a re-occurring theme of that show being that some people are just pre-destined to never fit in)
