History YMMV / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E13ThePerfectPear

* TrueArtIsAngsty: This episode has gained a reputation due to the heartwrenching tale it tells. The Apple siblings learn about how pure and sweet their parents forbidden relationship was, and Granny Smith and Grand Pear finally put their feud to an end for the sake of their family. Bright Mac and Pear Butter are also heavily implied to have died, which adds a bittersweet layer to it. Along with everyone missing them dearly, this subsequently means that they never got to see their families' reconciliation, and that Grand Pear never reconnected with his daughter after disowning her. It's considered one of the best episodes of the series; being the [[http://www.imdb.com/title/tt6240452/?ref_=tt_eps_rhs_0 highest-rated MLP episode on IMDB]] with a 9.5 out of 10, beating out the 9.3-rated "A Canterlot Wedding Part 2".

* FunnyAneurysmMoment: Applejack's tirade against Strawberry Sunrise in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS7E9HonestApple Honest Apple]]" is this after revealing the Apples have had a similar, long-standing feud with the Pears.

** A few months before this episode aired, another series had an equally problematic wedding attempt with the bride-to-be played by Felicia Day. Only difference is [[Recap/MysteryScienceTheater3000S11E14JourneyToTheCenterOfTheEarth the groom-to-be got ate there]].

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped:
** No petty grudge is worth disowning your family over.
** As an adult, you have the right to make certain life-changing decisions for yourself, even if your family doesn't approve. Them being your family doesn't give them the right to control every aspect of your life, and you shouldn't sacrifice your happiness just to satisfy them.

** [[Creator/JohnDeLancie Q]] is already in the show as Discord, and now Captain Kirk has joined MLP.
** Meanwhile, when it comes to [[Series/MysteryScienceTheater3000 a different sci-fi series]], [[Creator/PattonOswalt Max (aka TV's Son of TV's Frank)]] appeared last season as Quibble Pants, and now [[Creator/FeliciaDay Kinga Forrester]] guest voices as Pear Butter. Plus, getting disowned is actually an ''improvement'' from how her wedding on that show turned out.
** The throwaway scene of Changeling Applejack eating a pear in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E25ToWhereAndBackAgainPart1 To Where and Back Again]]" is a lot funnier now that we know that the real Applejack was ''extremely'' averse to pears back then.

* TearJerker: ''The whole damn episode.'' Seriously, [[TearJerker/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicSeason7 look at this page under this episode's tab]], there's a '''''reason''''' this is considered one of the saddest (if not ''the'' saddest) episode of ''the whole series''.

** You have the right to make certain life-changing decisions for yourself, even if your family doesn't approve. Them being your family doesn't give them the right to control every aspect of your life.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: No petty grudge is worth disowning your family over.

** In "Bloom and Gloom", Apple Bloom was afraid if she got a non-Apple cutiemark, her family would disown her. Turns out, her mother was disowned by Grand Pear, ironically for choosing the Apple family over the Pear family.

* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Given how lovingly Granny Smith has cared for her grandchildren the past 7 seasons, one would never guess they were half-descended from her hated rival. Every moment where she's raised and loved them has been a testament that she buried the hatchet for the sake of not only her then-unborn grandchildren, but her son and daughter-in-law.
