Not as disturbing as her temporary mental-breakdown, and some other things she’s done really. I thought it was kinda funny her friends didn’t bat an eye, and seemed used to it.

Ok, that wasn’t Uncanny Valley (when I wrote it, it was 6:30 AM, so I didn’t pay atention to my words), but even for Pinkie Pie it’s very disturbing. At least in Feeling Pinkie Keen that makes sense and the “balloon effect” was for half second. Here we can see the “balloon effect” in her face (less funny than in the body) for 2 seconds.
It reminds me of the awful movie “Son of the Mask”.

From Wikipedia, which is correct in this instance: “The uncanny valley is a hypothesis in the field of human aesthetics which holds that when human features look and move almost, but not exactly, like natural human beings, it causes a response of revulsion among some human observers. […] The ‘valley’ refers to the dip in a graph of the comfort level of humans as subjects move toward a healthy, natural human likeness described in a function of a subject’s aesthetic acceptability.”
So yeah, this is just plain grotesque. I didn’t care much for this gag, but it doesn’t bother me that others did find it funny.
About this instant… Uncanney Valley in my opinion. And about that season 1 moment, at least she doesn’t have a weird face or look. And that was the Pinkie Sense.
Applejack got inflated last season. It’s safe to say Pinkie’s not the only stretchy/squishy pony. Maybe that’s how they’re made… Or it’s just a cartoony gag. However you wish to see it.
