Shh,no logic just the age of overanalysis,fanwank and the oversanitization of entertainment until every cartoon is Porch Pals Itchy and Scratchy.Remember,Mario is a sociopath for jumping on those mushrooms without talking to them first,it’s true since it’s on the Internet

Also this gem
“cartoonish slapstick always has been out of place in the series[…]”
Cartoonish slapstick is out of place in a cartoon

You Spike Justice Warriors are such joyless souls,it’s effin’ sad to see media through the prism of a college tier litterature essay.If you had your ways,the show will be nothing but the characters asking for consent (as in the Tumblr version of consent) and apologizing to each other for 22 minutes
It’s all right there in the contract he signed since his first debut. Of course, it’s written in difficult to read tiny print somewhere in those pages full of words, but that’s besides the point.
What would make this funny (if at least one applied):
This was accidental, or beyond anyone’s control. Rainbow I can only just give some leeway because of how energized she is to pack. But Pinkie just flat out smashed on top of him. I have a much harder time buying that.
Spike was either being careless, or said something out of line prior to this.
Pinkie: “Whoops! Sorry.”
Twilight and/or Rarity showed a bit more concern or momentary shock towards Spike. A negative reaction can help add to the humor, especially in slapstick.
If Spike wasn’t portrayed as a young child [debatable].
Spike narrowly dodges this. Maybe he suffers something else immediately afterwards. Wouldn’t make it that much better, but it would more of a surprise.
