That was a thought I had originally watching this episode that you mentioned. Frequently I'd rather have something foreign and good than familiar and bad. Part of the message I think is also reinforcing the "be you" and "do what you're good at." On a broader thought, you mentioned how awful the yak diplomats were at being diplomats. Something to keep in mind is that not everybody has the same goals or the same wants. Twilight was looking for an opportunity for new friendship and to expand her experiences and breadth of knowledge. The yaks didn't view this as an opportunity to get a new friendship, but instead a possibility of getting a friend they wanted. The difference is Twilight was more open minded about what kind of relationship they could have formed, and the yaks already had the kind of relationship they wanted in mind and seeing if Twilight and her friends matched that. This gave them a very different approach to the diplomacy.

Here's your asked-for pro-yak comment! :D Though I think most of this is stuff you figured out on your own at the end there. Considering everything we see and learn about yak culture in later seasons, this episode is full on about learning how to manage cultural differences... from both the ponies' side and the yaks' side. The ponies' error was in trying to replicate Yakyakistan, and the yaks' error was in either not realising what the ponies were doing or realising and then not explaining that they don't need things to be exactly like their home... in addition to not realising their traditional ritual of stomping around and destroying everything isn't something the ponies share. From their perspective, they came to make friends, the ponies kept saying "Here is something just like your homeland!", the yaks kept finding only 'lies', and thus they understandably lost their tempers and, when even the promised party was looking like a lie, declared war. The ponies weren't looking at all trustworthy to them by then! I also think they had such exacting standards BECAUSE this was a diplomacy mission, so surely the ponies wouldn't be showing them things that weren't perfect, because non-perfect things would be an expression of them not really caring, which made the 'lies' worse in their eyes. I do love the yaks, though their first appearance doesn't paint them in a very complimentary light. xD

Whenever I hear people talk about Pinkie Pie about how she's just "Lol Random", this is one of the first episodes that comes to mind where it shows that everything she does has a purpose. It may not always work out as she expects it, and others might not immediately understand, but she's nowhere near as random as many make her out to be. Not just because of the reveal that she has a whole secret cave dedicated to planning and organizing, but because of the wide array of emotions she shows, and because of her ability to abstractly take in all this information from her travels (how others made her feel and why) and apply it concretely (let's take those experiences and recreate them in a different way) into the party they really needed to hold. I always insist, Pinkie is far more complex than many give her credit for, and that's what makes her my favorite of the Mane 6.

In their culture, I think, if it is not perfect then it has no right to exist and has to be destroyed. So, can you destroy things just because they are not perfect? - no, if you are a pony... but yes, if you are a yak and it is the very base of your culture. Twilight provided poor diplomacy because she learned some facts about Yaks culture but didn't even start to understand it. On the other hand Pinkie understood it right at the end.

When Twilight said she wanted to surprise Celestia I did a double take. That's not a good reason to invite a group over, especially as the princess of friendship. It seems ingenuous even if it wasn't. I'd be pissed if someone came over and wreaked my stuff, but Twilight was working hard in the wrong way, and arguably not for the right reasons while being ill-informed you could argue. I like that Pinkie intended to and worked to get to Yakyakistan, and the subtly of the lesson summed up in the end was very good! You could argue why didn't the Yaks say they were dissatisfied, but this is their first time experiencing pony culture (lol) so they have nothing to judge their behaviour on except on their own values.

I love the Yaks. Sure this episode paints them in a weird light. But just wait. The more they show up, the more you as the viewer understand them. And in turn, come to love them.

Also, it's similar to how I feel about Disney live action remakes. The Yaks were offended by the ponies' imperfect attempt at recreating their cultural foods and other various items. I have a similar feeling when Disney remakes a classic, that was made by other people under the same company name, into live action. Because they take the original break it, scatter the pieces only pick up 30%-70% (depending on which remake) and what they make is a defaced disgrace. I don't know how else to describe it other than offensive to those, like me, who basically accepted those films as part of their cultural upbringing. Those movies feel like part of my culture because of how my parents implemented them into my childhood. It's not culture. What word is it. Not Sacred either. Somewhere in between those two. High reverence? Help me. You know what I'm trying to say, right? I actually can relate to the Yaks, strangely.
