I think you should really go and broaden your horizon, by opening yourself up to the fact that cartoons, at least in this time and age, are much more than humor and comedy. Then you would see that MLP: FiM does, except for Pinkie's occasional antics (and even she tones herself down a lot if it gets really dramatic and serious), not contain any of the over-the-top humor you mentioned, unless an episode is specifically written with a focus on humor in mind.
 
For me, the times were I saw cartoons as nothing more than humor and slapstick were over when I was still a young child. I've grown out of this view at this age because of finding cartoons that were much more than that and since then, I can see when a cartoon show is more than just humor, something you could see about MLP: FiM, too, if you wouldn't narrow down your view of cartoons to humor.
 
You remind me, a little, on certain annoying people in cinemas who laugh at scenes that aren't even supposed to be funny, particularly sad scenes, because they miss the point about the meaning of the scene or because they don't care about the actual meaning (which is the reason why I don't really like to go into cinemas anymore, since this behavior is ruining the mood) and that is actual pretentiousness.


 
In short, you're only viewing MLP: FiM as not really dramatic or serious, and instead mostly humorous, because you never really grew out of the expectation of a cartoon having to be comedic and because you never learned that a cartoon can be so much more than that.
 
That's something that can be seen quite clearly when following thisyour discargussmentation here.
