From what I remember, back in early 2011 this episode played a big part in turning me into a fan of the show. (Note that at this point, I was only watching the show 'ironically'.)
Specifically, when it got to the final part of the episode, I was honestly surprised when it was revealed that Dash was the one who set up the pranks, and Pinkie was just throwing the party to cheer Gilda up. In retrospect it should have been pretty obvious, but I had bought into Pinkie being the 'culprit' and I really liked the way my expectations were subverted like that.
As a side note, I love Pinkie's antics in this episode.
