The Cutie Mark Crusaders are extra cute this episode, so why does Babs Seed's thick Brooklyn accent make it so bad?

We're on record here at Macintosh & Maud of not being the greatest fans of the Cutie Mark Crusaders, especially their own dedicated episodes. But this episode isn't the Crusaders' fault - it's the insecure, passive-aggressive bullying of Babs Seed. That and her not-quite-Bronx, not-quite-Jersey accent. Plus, Macintosh & Maud are on to the animators - you have some explaining to do with the song this week. Not your best effort, everybody...
