Defining a TV show as what it really is, rather than what you perceive it as, is something very important. The ignorance you talked about (and show) begets of a very high amount of disrespect for the actual nature of MLP: FiM.
Pointing out this ignorance and clarifying the actual nature of MLP: FiM is a very important subject matter, as it might get someone to understand it better, which can only be to its benefits.
It is worthwhile to attempt getting someone to understand what kind of show it actually is, no matter how massive of a textwall this might need, even if such an attempt will sometimes fall on deaf ears (something you effectively demonstrate right now).
This could only be seen as "pretentiousness" by those who are ignorant towards it in the first place, which brings me back to my observation, that you ignore everything about MLP: FiM that isn't humor and that you don't accept it as more than that, because nothing beyond humor is valuable for you in cartoons.
My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic already is more functional at drama than at humor and cuteness, your preconceived idea that cartoons are only good for humor is why you can't see this and why you only perceive the humor and think of scenes/episodes as humorous that aren't humorous at all.
Your general expectations of cartoons are blocking you from seeing MLP: FiM's real worth here.
Regardless if we speak about writing or the animations, MLP: FiM isn't any more a comedy show than other drama shows that have some occasional humor, to lighten the mood here and there, are.
It needs being open to the fact that a cartoon can be more than comedy to see this, though.
