actually, the whole action of the scene in the story as well, takes about 15 to maybe 30 seconds. The problem as you put it, as I later found out after reading through the story, is that the joke in this scene was completely left out, this is why it felt like the comedy here came from how stock it was, because I was looking at this page without knowing nothing of the story..  
plus, I can’t imagine why the artist would leave out a total of 3 lines of dialogue? given the last time an adaptation from the story to comic went like this.
 
instead, the joke was replaced with an identification spell line.. yep, we get a joke that makes our characters look stupid besides completely paranoid.  
I’m not going to bang on the artist for this one, but I am going to say that, the story already had the solution to this problem to begin with and there was no reason to resort to similarities with the show, such as everyone, including Celestia who needs the help Fluttershy is offering, ignoring Fluttershy regardless what she has to say.
 
 
so, all in all, I’d count about 2 reasons for why this page in particular just doesn’t seem to work all that well and I’m speaking only of this page alone, not the entire comic / story.

The Tastiest
I think the problem that people seem to be having with ponies acting silly is the differences between the medium. The comic, as fast as it’s coming, has a week between panels, and each panel only shows about 15-30 seconds of action. True, if they sat down for five minutes and thought, they’d come to rational conclusions, but the whole confrontation takes less than three minutes, and in the heat of the moment, all of these sudden actions only inflame the situation.

@Spiritus Arcane  
the way I see it, something like Mickey Mouse, Looney Tunes, as well as Tom & Jerry, all 3 of these are cartoon classics.
 
This feels more like the generic cartoon kind of feel than the classic one, filled almost in all of this page’s scenes with phoned-in tropes. I understand that it doesn’t make it bad, but I feel it’s a bit of a step down from the last 4-5 pages that had better lines here and just better comedy played off on ’Tia, with the male supporting background characters no less.

oh, Ha ha. get it? they’re the royal guard and they don’t know that first and foremost before administering any punishment, you identify the assailant and prove your claims, despite whatever evidence you may have to show / tell!  
It’s funny, because they’re being stupid!
 
but seriously now, it feels like we jumped from one page ago into sort of decent/good comedy, into a straight up generic as all hell Saturday morning cartoon, the always existent and present misunderstanding episode.

How much ya bet they drink this shit without any form of sweetener? Wouldn’t be surprised if while everyone drank this crap strait barren of it, and its the only thing in Equestria where Tia’s sense of taste differs from others…

Yeah, but even as a satire, it’s kinda going overboard, but maybe it’s ‘cause I haven’t read the original fic’, maybe I should.
 
I mean I like comedy/silly/troll fics sometimes to, (like This one) but I just don’t know what to think of this one. I’m guessing it takes place shortly after the Changeling incident, so I guess it would make sense they’d be quite paranoid about that.

Here:
 
”Listen, Fake Celestia,” said Twilight. “Fluttershy is one of my best friends, but everypony knows she folds like an origami box.”
 
“I like origami boxes,” admitted Fluttershy.
 
“See?” said Twilight, apparently vindicated in her own mind.

I can enjoy it as an over-the-top comedy story. Knowing some people really think the characters would act this way doesn’t really affect my enjoyment of the comic.
 
@Background Pony #7165  
OK, now I’m curious what the origami box line was…

Even without the origami box line from the original, this is still a fun scene.

I hope this will end in a funny and happy way. I can already see Celestia’s head on a spear and everypony is cheering.
