See, that's the thing. It's only fun to be scared if in the back of your mind you know you're safe. If you're actually frightened for your life, it's not fun. If these ponies were actually scared, they should have resolved that, but they didn't. What you leave with is nothing, because there is nothing to be taken from the episode. It isn't true to life or human nature and is kind of pointless (aside from a few laughs).
