The show basically plays to two audiences at the same time--it's about a bunch of ponies being friends and encountering basic friendship-related issues (like being jealous of each other or feeling left out or something,) resolving them, and writing once-per-episode letters to Princess Celestia about what they've learned in painfully obvious And Knowing Is Half The Battle fashion. If you watch it as an adult, though, then you tend to notice the references to everything they sneak in everywhere and the exaggerated psychopathic meltdowns they manage to pass off as "this character is a little stressed about the situation." (Maybe there wouldn't be so many Pony icons all over the internet if everyone in every scene always didn't have a meme-worthy expression.)
Anyway, the bear scene is from Lesson Zero, and is actually the least demented part of that particular episode. (Actually, Lesson Zero accomplished another TVTropes first by being the first single episode of something to have a separate Nightmare Fuel page just for that episode.)
