we saw her delivering things in season 1  
so it’s more of a reference to season 1 then the meme

@mrdoctorderpy  
I originally thought it was Fedex, but you’re right, that’s definitely a UPS uniform on her. Guess they’re finally acknowledging the “Derpy is a delivery pony” meme.

@gittonsxv  
In fact I didn’t even notice Derpy in the episode. Guess I have an excuse to watch it for the third time.

it was already explored in the episode 100 that she has a job about making, printing and delivering invitations.

What can brown do for you?

@ArrJaySketch  
I meant to say there were fewer cynical fans during Season 1.

After 5 years, she finally landed ger dream job,

@Background Pony #B32A  
I don’t remember people specifically complaining about fan service during Season 1, but that doesn’t mean it didn’t happen. I think there were fewer fans at that point, too.
 
Derpy exists on the show exactly because of the fans. Derpy’s eyes were derped by someone for pilot. Fans noticed, named her, and made up stories about her. Derpy had appeared with normal-looking eyes in many episodes since then. By the time Feeling Pinkie Keen aired, show staff intentionally derped her eyes in every scene she was in from then on out (because FPK was till in production when the the pilot aired). Derpy had already been placed in layout as a delivery mare, so that was a happy coincidence.
 
So, whenever people complain about Derpy being “fan service”, to me it’s like someone complaining about the sky being blue. I can’t help but roll my eyes as hard as I can.
 
I also remember some people losing their shit about Party of One because it reminded them of Cupcakes. Never mind that the episode was already being worked on well before the pilot aired. Hell, much of S2 was also being worked on before the show even aired.

Is it me or does her uniform look like the ups uniforms  

i love a bit of fan service,  
it is not like it is huge and in your face apart from that one episode but that was supposed to be a handshake to the fans anyway.

@Background Pony #148F  
Only 2 episodes of the season has had fan service

@Background Pony #148F  

Imagine Derpy working for UPS.
 
“Will you be at home between two and three?”
 
“No.”
 
“Perfect!”

Derpy Ventura^^

And season 2.
 
I wasn’t in the fandom when season 1 was originally broadcast, but it wouldn’t surprise me if some deluded sods cried “fanservice!” at some episodes even back then.

@TheAntiCat  

 
And season 3.

Hey, Derpy! Glad to see you as a cameo in S05 E18!

@Background Pony #148F  
Funny, people like you said the same of season 4.
 
Face it, you’re way outta your league, tiger.

What can derp do for you?

“Season 5, the season of fanservice.”
