THE CUTIE REMARK
DELETED SCENE
Trixie: Where was Trixie’s redemption?! You never tried to attack the root of Trixie’s villainy! You just bested and humiliated me! AGAIN! And you CHEATED that time!
Twilight: I didn’t have much choice, Trixie. She bested me so I had to find a different way to stop her.
Trixie: But TRIXIE bested you! You never tried to appeal to Trixie’s good nature! You never offered Trixie a sweet deal to cease her wrath!
Twilight: Well… Starlight had a good reason for becoming a villain.
Trixie: But YOU AND YOUR FRIENDS were Trixie’s reason for becoming a villain!
Twilight: Yeah… but… um… anything not friendship related isn’t my department.
Trixie: Oh, Trixie’s SO sorry! I thought you were the Princess of Taking Responsibility For Your Actions. My mistake!
Twilight: Now hold on a minute, Trixie! You–
Lightning Dust: Yo, Grape Crush. You Princess Twilight? I got a bone to pick with you.
Suri Polomare: Hey! Wait your turn, Speedy! I’m next in line.
Flam: He’s Flim!
Flim: He’s Flam!
Flam: We’re the amazing Flim Flam broooootherrrrrs! Travelling salesponies nonpareil!
Flim: If you forgave a monster like Starlight you can pardon us for our scam!
Queen Chrysalis: Hey is it true you’re pardoning villains who can justify their villainy?
Trixie: Not unless it’s “friendship” related.
Queen Chrysalis: Does single mother of 481 children count?

THE CUTIE RE-MARK
ALTERNATE ENDING
Starlight: Wow, it sure is fun to be a part of the team now!
Applejack: Uh, sugarcube, may I talk t’ you fer a sec?
Twilight: Sure, AJ. What’s the problem?
Applejack: Twi, ya do realize we got no reason t’ trust ’er, right?
Twilight: Well, yeah, but she said she was sorry and she reformed.
Applejack: But what makes ya believe that?
Twilight: Um… she started crying and she sounded really convincing?
Applejack: She could be lyin’! An’ what about Discord? Took way longer fer you t’ forgive ’im!
Twilight: He’s a giant draconequus, Applejack.
Applejack: An’ Starlight’s a mare who brainwashed an entire town an’ mindraped us. What’s yer point? She gets away wi’ it because she’s a pony?
Twilight: Look, it’s my choice okay?
Applejack: I got it, I got it. Just one other question.
Twilight: Ugh, what now?
Applejack: You said you an’ she went time travelin’ an’ all that, right?
Twilight: Yes?
Applejack: So why don’t ya go back in time to save yer library?
Twilight: Huh?
Applejack: Yer library. Ya coulda gone back an’ saved it from being blown up by Tirek. Heck, ya coulda gone back an’ stopped Trixie from takin’ over Ponyville, or warned us about Starlight…
Twilight: Um… MIND ERASE SPELL!
She erases Applejack’s mind, a la Men in Black.
Applejack: Ugh, what happened?
Twilight: Ah, Applejack, you were just talking about how you accept Starlight as a new friend and that I’m a great decision maker and never make mistakes!
Applejack: Uh, yeah…
Starlight: Um, you know I heard your whole conversation, right?
Twilight: …ponyfeathers.

Why do I get the feeling this thread is less about thinking up amusing deleted scenes and more about providing another venue in which to complain about disliked episodes/storylines?
 
Still, might as well give it a shot, I guess.  
THE CUTIE RE-MARK
DELETED SCENE
Applejack: Uh, Twilight, can we ask you a question?
Twilight: Sure Applejack. What is it?
Applejack: You see… the rest of us were just talking about this whole “being friends with Starlight” thing, and we’re all wondering if it’s the best idea.
Twilight: What? Of course it is. Why wouldn’t it be?
Rarity: Well we would hate to make it sound like we are unsympathetic to her plight of course, but the story you told us about her past does seem a touch, oh what’s the word…
Rainbow Dash: Lame?
Rarity: Rainbow, please. I was going to say… underwhelming.
Twilight: I see.
Applejack: I mean don’t get us wrong, there are plenty of other reasons too. Like that way she brainwashed an entire town…
Fluttershy: Those scary sounding alternate timelines…
Pinkie Pie: And she came back for revenge Twilight! REVENGE! How do we know we can trust her? How do we know she’s really changed? Isn’t it all going too fast? It seems like only yesterday she was the villain!
Fluttershy: Um… Pinkie? It was only yesterday.
Pinkie Pie: See? Even Fluttershy sees it!
Applejack: So what do you say Twilight? Do you really think you can trust her?
Twilight: Yes.
Rainbow Dash: Great! So let’s go tell her she can’t stay here and… wait, really?
Twilight: Yes. Of course. Honestly, do you all really think I’d suggest making friends with her if I was worried she was going to do something bad?
Rarity: Of course not dear, it’s just… how can you be so sure?
Twilight: Well, I am the closest thing this town has to a psychologist, remember?
Rainbow Dash: Don’t remind us.
Twilight: And in that capacity, I can tell you that everything Starlight did is entirely reasonable given her past history.
Rainbow Dash: What, having a friend move away? We’ve all had that happen to us Twilight, and no one here tried to destroy Equestria as a result.
Twilight: And if that was what actually happened, I would agree with you. The thing is, Starlight didn’t get that way just because her friend moved.
Fluttershy: She didn’t?
Twilight: Of course not. You have to understand, the friend moving was part of it, but the big issue was the manner in which it occurred. Starlight saw her best friend get a cutie mark, and then almost immediately lost him forever. And she was so upset by that, she let it keep her from ever making another friend ever again.
Pinkie Pie: Wait… she didn’t ever make another friend? That’s so sad! If that happened to me, I’d… probably go crazy and… huh.
Twilight: Exactly.
Applejack: Well then why didn’t she just get over it?
Twilight: It’s not something you just “get over” Applejack. Fear of getting hurt, fear of losing those we care about… we all know something about letting fear influence us in bad ways. You remember what happened that time I didn’t have a friendship lesson to report and was afraid of what Princess Celestia would do, don’t you?
Rainbow Dash: We all do, Twilight.
Twilight: Right. Exactly my point. And that time Pinkie was afraid we abandoned her? Or all the times Fluttershy’s been afraid of something?
Fluttershy: Is it that noticeable? Oh… I was afraid of that…
Twilight: And you Applejack. How many times have you let concern for your family influence you to do things that proved a bad idea?
Applejack: I… I was dishonest once to keep Granny Smith from finding out some Flim Flam cure-all didn’t work. And I hate leaving Apple Bloom alone, but trying to keep her safe only put her in more danger.
Twilight: You see? Psychological studies indicate that traumatic events, even something as simple as losing a friend, can have a great deal of influence on us. We remember bad things like that more clearly than happy memories, and they have greater pull over our decision making. So given that Starlight was too scared to ever make another friend, and that the event that made her that way involved her friend getting his mark, can we really blame her for wanting to create a place where that wouldn’t happen? Even if she was wrong to do it, can you at least understand why she did?
Rarity: well when you put it like that…
Twilight: She wasn’t born evil. She’s not some otherworldly conqueror or all powerful being of chaos. She was a perfectly normal filly who missed out on the magic of friendship growing up. She let fear and sadness from her youth warp her into something that saw cutie marks as evil and friendship as a joke. That’s probably why she felt safe trying to eliminate ours.
Applejack: But she couldn’t?
Twilight: Not once she saw what it would cost. Not once she got to see what her efforts to eliminate our friendship did to the world.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, but what about those “alternate timelines”? You don’t hold her responsible for that?
Twilight Should I? She never set out to destroy Equestria. She only wanted to prevent our friendship, something she didn’t believe had any real significance anyway. And even I didn’t know how much her changing the past would affect our future. Besides, if I had tried friendship sooner instead of trying to fight her, maybe we wouldn’t have had as many of those alternate timelines.
Rainbow Dash: I guess that makes sense.
Twilight: Thank you. I thought so too.
Pinkie Pie: So… you don’t think we’re rushing into making her our friend?
Twilight: Pinkie, when we defeated Nightmare Moon, you literally announced that it called for a party 10 seconds after she apologized.
Pinkie Pie: Oh yeah… that was a good party too.
Twilight: So what do you say guys? Can you at least give her an opportunity to try?
Rarity: I can’t say it won’t be at least a little bit awkward, but for you, Twilight… of course we can giver her a chance.
Applejack: Sure can.
Pinkie Pie: Do you know what kind of cake she likes?

TWILIGHT’S KINGDOM  
ALTERNATE ENDING
 
Twilight: Wow, I have a castle now! It’s so pret–
 
She is stopped by a knock on the door. She opens it to find a stallion in a suit.
 
Twilight: Uh, who are you?
 
Stallion: Are you Princess Twilight Sparkle?
 
Twilight: Yes, that’s me.
 
Stallion: Ma’am, I’m with the PRC. Your castle does not comply with Ponyville’s building codes.
 
Twilight: Wh-what? What do you mean?
 
Stallion: (starts reading from a list) Building code #6.9: No structure in Ponyville shall stand over nine stories tall. #9.10: No free-standing structure shall have a larger radius on top than on bottom. #19.84: No structure can reflect the sun in such a way that it temporarily blinds ponies. #42.0: No structure can be transparent to where we can see things happening inside–
 
Twilight: What do you mean about that last part?
 
Stallion: We can see everything you do, Twilight. Everything.
 
Twilight gains a significant blush. The stallion continues.
 
Stallion: Your castle is a huge eyesore and a danger to ponies in the town. It needs to be demolished.
 
Twilight: B-but where will I live?
 
Stallion: That’s not my problem, ma’am. Now if you’ll just–
 
Twilight pins the stallion up against the wall.
 
Twilight: WHO SENT YOU?!
 
Somewhere, Discord is watching while eating popcorn.
 
Discord: Ain’t I a stinker?

Magic Duel:
 
Celestia: My what a wonderful performance Twilight, it made quite the show with our guests.
 
Twilight: Thanks Celestia, though Trixie did help with the fireworks at the end.
 
Celestia: Ah yes that reminds me, where is Trixie? We should have her arrested for her upcoming trail.
 
Twilight: I sort of let her go. I mean she was under the magic influence of a magic charm.
 
Celestia: That’s all well and good Twilight but actions have consequences. Trixie willing put on the amulet and enslaved the town for several days. We can’t just let actions like that go without repercussions. I’ll let this go for now, but later on we’re going to have a conversation about motives and how while they explain actions, they does not excuses them.
 
Three seasons later
 
Twilight: Hi Celestia! I’d like you to meet Starlight Glimmer. She use to be a cult leader who tried to destroy the timeline over one friend who moved away and held a vendetta against me for the better part of a year. I’ve completely forgiven her and made her my pupil without any negative repercussions for her whatsoever.
 
Celestia: Mom damn it Twilight, I thought we went over this! Actions have consequences!
 
Twilight: Oh I know. I still hate Trixie. Thank you for teaching me about that.
 
Celestia: Bangs head on table

PRINCESS SPIKE
ALTERNATE ENDING
Spike: “I’m so sorry I abused my… I mean your… authority.”
Twilight: “It’s okay, Spike. I’m sure we can sort this all out. It’s not like you went completely overboard, right?”
(dialogue fades out as they go inside, then…)
Twilight: “A fifty-foot statue of WHAT?!
 
And one new one.

I agree it would have been nice if they had addressed the issue like that in the show, but such is life. Besides, even absent that scene I feel that’s what the reasoning behind her redemption was supposed to be. I usually just pretend they had that conversation during a commercial break or something.

applejack: HOW IN TARNATION IS THE MOON FULL?!
 
twilight sparkle: shhhh!!!
 
applejack: seriously, twi. how can the moon be too “full” to send her there.
 
twilight sparkle: look. remember when nightmare moon “escaped?”
 
applejack: how could ah forget?
 
twilight sparkle: it’s because princess celestia sent the former librarian to the moon so i could move into the library.
 
applejack: THAT JUST RAISES FURTHER QUESTIONS! MANY MORE TROUBLING QUESTIONS THAT ARE MAKIN’ ME WONDER IF WORKIN’ FOR CELESTIA’S SUCH A GOOD IDEA!
 
twilight sparkle: well, he pushed the moon over capacity and so one of the prisoners “overflowed”. so to speak.
 
applejack: this still leaves me seriously doubtin’ princess celestia…
 
twilight sparkle: okay, look. she’s not that trigger happy. it’s just, she’s been mooning ponies for a thousand years, and she really hates solicitors. and buskers. and ponies who chew loudly. and jaywalkers. and– look, the point is, i wanted to moon her. i wanted to moon the shit right out of her! hell, i wanted to moon trixie too! BUT I CAN’T, okay?!
 
applejack: how ‘bout regular prison?
 
twilight sparkle: princess celestia says it’s not cruel enough because their imprisonment isn’t eternal. the moon stops them from aging–
 
applejack: THAT’S IT! AH’M DONE!
 
twilight sparkle: aj, no! you can’t. she won’t let you.
 
applejack: what?!
 
twilight sparkle: WE DON’T GET PAID FOR THIS! neither do the guards! why do you think we keep doing this?!

@Kirb  
so the tiny ice wizard forsook me and my house is like a million degrees. it made me churn out my most negative alternate ending ever.
 
KIRB? THIS BREW’S FOR YOU!
 
THE SUPER SPEEDY CIDER SQUEEZY 6000
ALTERNATE ENDING: “THE DAY APPLEJACK HAD ENOUGH OF PONYVILLE’S SHIT”
Applejack: They’re gone.
Twilight Sparkle: That means Sweet Apple Acres is still in business!
Caramel: Plus we can have high quality Apple family cider!
Apple Bloom: Because of this silly competition, we’ve made enough of our cider for the whole town!
Crowd: [cheering]
applejack: ah ha ha, we sure did, sugarcube. enough cider for this entire town o’ lousy backstabbin’ greedy ingrates!
crowd: [cheering turns into uneasy laughter]
applejack: oh, ah ain’t jokin’. all o’ y’all can go roll yer tails into dildos and go and FUCK YOURSELVES!
rainbow dash: a-applejack–
applejack: oh no. you shut the fuck up, “element of loyalty”! you were the first in line to run to the competitors puttin’ me out of business! all of you were! you bunch of ingrates didn’t care for spit we were homeless and run outta town! all you cared about was the cider! let me tell all of y’all somethin! we’ve got four fucking employees working the cider job, with more apples to tend with than y’all have bad manners! and in them employees we have little apple bloom, bless her hardworkin’ little heart, who can barely lift a bushel, and granny smith over there is older than the bessemer process!
granny smith: it’s true. they invented it when i was blossomin’ into a mare. finally we could afford spears to fight the timberwolves–
applejack: no, shut up granny! ah’m makin’ a point! all of you pointin’ hooves at us for doing our best to run a business?! “eeeeeeeh why can’t you make more? eeeeeeeeeh you always say that!” why don’t a couple of you lazy freeloaders kick in a hoof and help out?! we’d give ya free cider for it! heck, we’d pay you for it! but noooooo! it’s our fault! ever think that maybe if y’all weren’t so selfish there’d be enough to go around?! hey pinkie pie, we appreciate the business and all, but you are a fat selfish pig for hogging 20-something mugs!
pinkie pie: i am not fat!
twilight sparkle: hey! ever consider enforcing one per customer?
applejack: ever consider MINDIN’ YER OWN FUCKING BUSINESS?! we’ve been doing this for YEARS before you “graced” our town with your unicorn…ness and started sticking your muzzle into all our businesses and showing us the way with your unicorn master race bullshit! you think we didn’t think of that?! you think we didn’t TRY that?! we had ponies bellyachin’ about stingy portions and refusing to buy our cider! this here pays for our farm FOR THE ENTIRE FUCKING WINTER, TWI! we gotta make as much money as possible, something a privileged spoiled rotten little rich girl fuck like you wouldn’t know a darned thing about! you ain’t never worked an honest day’s work in your entire life! why don’t you trot on back to your trust fund and your princess and KEEP OUT OF IT?!
twilight sparkle: [starts crying]
rarity: now see here missy! why if i–
applejack: if you WHAT?! you think because you run your gay little boutique you know a darned thing about hard honest work?! yer customers are rich canterlot twats who pay a year’s morgage for one faggy dress to wear one day of the year! not all of us can cut expenses because we have a little dragon we can charm into givin’ us free labor by feeding into his crush! it ain’t charming, rarity! it’s creepy! REALLY FUCKING CREEPY AND GROSS OF YOU TO TAKE ADVANTAGE OF HIM LIKE THAT! i’m pretty sure it’s illegal if it’s done to a citizen what ain’t a slave to begin with! where is that little booger anyway? let me guess, you shooed him away before the cider got handed out because he has a library to scrub, right twi?!
twilight sparkle: [still crying]
rarity: [also now crying]
fluttershy: u-um…
applejack: NO! you keep your yellow-bellied little yap zipped good and tight you useless little coward! all of you are useless! you know what?! ah’m done! i’ll keep serving you apples and cider cause i got ends to meet, but if you think ah’m spending my saturdays saving equestria from evil mc-celestia’s-leftovers you got a rude wake-up call comin’! enjoy the cider, motherfuckers!
crowd: [dead silence]
applejack: oh yeah. there is one more thing. “dear princess celestia. you didn’t even do anything wrong today, but when do you ever do anything period? keep being a bitch! your faithful student, applejack!”
crowd: [utter silence, broken by a single pony coughing]
