[[Category:Season episodes]] Griffon the Brush Off is the fifth episode of the first season of My Little Pony Friendship is Magic. In this episode, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash bond by playing pranks on the other ponies, but when Rainbow Dash's old friend, Gilda the griffon, shows up for a visit, Pinkie gets left out. The title is a play on the phrase "given the brush-off", which is an abrupt and rude dismissal.__TOC__
