== Season 1 ==
=== Part One ===
==== Mare in the Moon ====▼
▲== Mare in the Moon ==
* Twilight Sparkle's various first impressions of the other ponies:
** Pinkie Pie randomly [[GASP|gasping]] and running off, only to [[Brick Joke|show up later]] throwing a surprise welcoming party and proceeding to [[Motor Mouth|talk Twilight's ear off]].
Line 17 ⟶ 16:
** Fluttershy nervously swings her leg and introduces herself at barely a whisper before her voice degenerates to unintelligible, nervous squeaks. Then she spots Spike, ''body-checks Twilight out of the way'' to [[Cuteness Proximity|start gushing over him]], and Spike proceeds to literally tell her his life story.
==== Elements of Harmony ====
* Pinkie gets a lot of them in this episode. First, she manages to find a book on the Elements of Harmony as Twilight frantically looks for one:
{{quote|'''Twilight Sparkle:''' How did you find it?
Line 25 ⟶ 24:
* Twilight and Rarity's reaction to Pinkie's song...
{{quote|'''Pinkie Pie''': ''When I was a little filly and the sun was going do-o-o-own...''
'''Twilight Sparkle''': [[Oh Crap|Tell me she's not...]]
'''Pinkie Pie''': ''The darkness and the shadows, they would always make me fro-o-o-own...''
'''Rarity''': [[Lampshade Hanging|She is.]] }}
* After the manticore hurls Applejack off of its head, she turns to Rainbow Dash and calmly proclaims "Your turn, partner" ''while she's still flying through the air''.
* When Twilight nearly falls off the broken rope bridge, Rainbow Dash quips "What is it with you and falling off cliffs today?"
==== The Ticket Master ====
* The final chase scene near the end, which is also a homage to [[Benny Hill]]'s famous chasing montages, counts as a double Funny Moment, since it is insanely funny
* The girls' fantasies about the Gala are all amusingly over the top:
** Applejack hoping to earn enough money to replace the "saggy old roof" on the barn, Big Macintosh's "saggy old plow", and Granny Smith's "saggy old hip", which leads to Granny suddenly [[Grandma, What Massive Hotness You Have!|looking more youthful]] and bucking around in joy after kicking her walker away.
Line 41 ⟶ 40:
** Fluttershy gushing about the birds found in the royal gardens of Canterlot: "Hummingbirds that can really hum, and buzzards [[Just for Pun|that can really buzz!]]"
* Pinkie Pie's freak-out. "''Bats!!'' Bats on my face! ''Heeeelp!'' [[Mood Swinger|...wait!]]"
* Spike and Applejack at the end of the episode. Her line "Just like a boy; can't handle the slightest bit of sentiment" and Spike secretly gushing over getting to go to the Gala feels like a nod to [[Periphery Demographic|the audience.]]
* After Rarity gives Twilight a make-over, she gives Spike one too... and ends up putting him in a goofy-looking "Little Lord Fauntleroy" get-up, complete with blonde wig and a [[Nice Hat]].
** "I told you, I don't want any part of this [[
* Rainbow Dash calling Twilight a "goody-four-shoes".
* At the beginning of the episode, Applejack mentions that she bet Big Macintosh she could get all the Golden Delicious in the barn by lunchtime. If she does, [[Man in a Bikini|he has to walk down Stirrup Street in one of Granny Smith's girdles]].
Line 54 ⟶ 53:
'''Twilight''' (completely soaked): *totally deadpan* No. Really? }}
==== Applebuck Season ====
* Eeeeyup. Just the entire introductory scene and Applejack's and Big Macintosh's exchange.
{{quote|'''Big Macintosh:''' One pony plus ''hundreds'' of apple trees just doesn't add up to...
Line 65 ⟶ 64:
** And there is the sheer size of the stack of cards Twilight intends to read her speech from, and when the Mayor is about to interrupt she throws them in frustration.
* Loopy, sleep-deprived Applejack staring at her distorted reflection in the trophy, followed by Pinkie Pie joining in. "Woo! Woo! Woo!"
* Applejack trying to buck the apples off a bare tree, which leads to Twilight pointing out "A.J., I think you're [[
** Also a nice save from the [[Unfortunate Implications]] of the, ''ahem'', original phrase.
* The ponies freaking out over the aftermath of the bunny stampede. "[[Apocalypse Now|The horror!]] ''[[Apocalypse Now|The horror!]]''"
Line 80 ⟶ 79:
* Rainbow Dash getting catapulted over the horizon. Applejack's reaction to Rainbow's panicked scream? "YER WELCOME!"
==== Griffon the Brush-Off ====
* Fluttershy's unexpectedly snarky response to Pinkie Pie's attempts to reassure her:
{{quote|'''Fluttershy:''' Um, Pinkie Pie, about this party for Gilda, um, do you really think it's a good idea? I mean...
Line 94 ⟶ 93:
* After Pinkie Pie pranks Rainbow Dash with the telescope, we zoom out to Fluttershy investigating the fake turtle they were using for ''her'' prank and poking at it.
==== Boast Busters ====
* The end of the episode, with {{spoiler|the Ursa Major, which while still terrifyingly big, is also amusingly snuggling its Ursa Minor son like a baby, even giving it a bottle. Keep in mind said Ursa Minor was gigantic and rampaged throughout most of the episode.}}
* Twilight making an excuse to leave when Trixie tries to challenge her. [[I Need to Go Iron My Dog|"I think I hear my laundry calling!"]]
* Snips and Snails' [[Pinky and The Brain]] moment:
{{quote|'''Snips:''' An Ursa walkin' up the street, eh? Snails, [[Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?|you thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?]]
'''Snails:''' Why is it they call it a flea market, when they don't really sell fleas? }}
** Also
Line 105 ⟶ 104:
* After Trixie turns Rarity's hair green, she runs through the crowd shouting about how terrible having green hair is. Cue [[Fan Nickname|Golden Harvest/Carrot Top]], who has apparently dyed her mane green (hers is usually orange), saying "[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fICW9OMjeJE Well, I never!]" and walking off in a huff.
==== Dragonshy ====
* The fainting-goat panic attacks, complete with sound effects.
* Angel pulling off ''[[Cute but Cacophonic|a smoker's]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dcvybxZQM9w cough]'' while trying to draw Fluttershy's attention to the smoke appearing over Ponyville.
Line 116 ⟶ 115:
{{quote|'''Rarity''': Best of 71?}}
* Fluttershy literally being scared of her own shadow.
** Even funnier to [[Doctor Who]] fans who are familiar with the [[Doctor Who
* As genuinely awesome as that moment was, the sight of a pegasus ''marching up the snout of a dragon and glaring into an eye roughly as big as she is while giving it a piece of her mind'' is inherently giggle-worthy.
* During Rarity's part of the [[Lock and Load Montage]], she puts on an army helmet... before checking herself out in the mirror, deciding against it, and putting on a sun hat with the same camouflage pattern as the helmet.
==== Look Before You Sleep ====
* The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zbPetcPhrIA epic pillow fight] between Rarity and Applejack, while Twilight tries to calm them down.
{{quote|'''Twilight Sparkle:''' ''[dazed after being hit in the head twice with pillows]'' Girls, maybe we should take it down a notch?}}
Line 127 ⟶ 126:
*** "Hooray, slumber party!" while lightly clapping.
*** The fact that she has a book entitled "Sleepover 101" and thinks that doing everything in the book to the letter will officially make the sleepover fun.
*** Her reaction to the tree that Applejack accidentally pulled into her bedroom is to look all through her sleepover book to see where branches fit into the slumber party.
{{quote|'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Well, there is an entry about backyard slumber parties. Is that what we're doing? Does this count as camping?}}
* Applejack and Rarity telling their [[Mundane Ghost Story|"Ghost stories"]].
Line 133 ⟶ 132:
* The absurdly girly dress Applejack puts on for her dare.
==== Bridle Gossip ====
* Spike's fears of zombie ponies. "Not likely... but ''possible?''"
* Pinkie's [["The Villain Sucks" Song|song about Zecora]]. "It's a work in progress."
Line 149 ⟶ 148:
{{quote|'''Rarity:''' Have you ever heard of personal space?
'''Pinkie Pie:''' Nope! }}
* "Appletini" lassoing, then harmlessly wrestling Zecora's ear is hilarious. I love the bewildered "What is she ''doing'' up there?" look on Zecora's face.
* Apple Bloom knows what's going on:
{{quote|'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Apple Bloom, sweetie, you can't just stand there and tell me this isn't a curse.
'''Apple Bloom:''' This isn't a curse! }}
==== Swarm of the Century ====
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3bN5T6iaMA#t=17m53s Pinkie Pie's brilliant entrance] near the end, immediately followed by [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n3bN5T6iaMA#t=18m45s Princess Celestia's baffled expression] as Pinkie and the Parasprites march by, AND Pinkie Pie's [[Losing Horns|trombone closing the episode]] are insanely hilarious.
** Pinkie's utterly serious expression while she's leading the parasprites out of town is what really sells it.
Line 168 ⟶ 167:
* When the parasprites start eating Ponyville, Rarity's reaction is to yell "EVERYPONY FOR HERSELF!" and run off to protect her store.
==== Winter Wrap Up ====
* The reaction to Twilight Sparkle's first feeble attempt to create a bird's nest.
{{quote|'''Spike:''' That nest needs to be condemned.
Line 175 ⟶ 174:
** It's [[Epic Fail|so bad]] that Rarity spends half the day trying to fix it, gets behind in her work, and eventually breaks down in tears. (The seconds-long reaction shot of her dramatic sob is a CMoF all its own.)
* Twilight's [[Humiliation Conga]] when she tries to help Fluttershy [[Hilarity Ensues|wake up the hibernating animals.]]
{{quote|'''Twilight''': ''(Rings a bell)'' Hellooo! Wake up little friends, wherever you are! Spring is coming! I wonder what cute, little, furry creatures I've awoken! ''([[Reptiles Are Abhorrent|Cue a few hissing snakes]])''
'''Twilight''': [[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|Wah! Snakes!]] ''[[Why Did It Have to Be Snakes?|SNAKES!]]'' ''(Backpedals frantically into a large cave... and gets [[Goddamned Bats|swarmed by bats]])''
'''Twilight''': '''[[It Got Worse|AAAAAAHHHHHH!]]''' ''(Runs and crashes headlong into a tree, causing a [[Gosh Hornet|beehive to fall and get stuck on her head]])''
'''Twilight''': '''[[It Got Worse|AAAAAAHHHHHH!]]''' ''(Scrambles blindly into another cave... [[Smelly Skunk|containing skunks]])''
'''Fluttershy''': ''(Watching the skunks wake up and leave a visible trail of their stench behind)'' Good morning, friends!
'''Twilight''': [[Epic Fail|Ughhh...]] }}
* Twilight attempting to help with the plowing by using magic. At one point she cuts off Blues, hitting him in the face with snow. She then comes back around and splashes more on him. He gets enough time to [[Aside Glance|look pitifully at the camera]] before getting his face covered.
==== Call of the Cutie ====
* "Apples! Apples! Apples! ''([[Offscreen Crash]])'' Heh... apples."
* Apple Bloom's hilariously over-the-top hard-sell when trying to become an apple salespony. She browbeats [[Fan Nickname|Doctor Whooves]] into buying some apples, scares off Berry Punch, and tries to trick Bon-Bon into buying a bushel of apples.
Line 194 ⟶ 193:
* Berry Punch drinking out of the punch bowl.
==== Fall Weather Friends ====
* All of Pinkie Pie's color commentary during the race.
{{quote|'''Pinkie:''' Yes! And grudge rhymes with fudge!
Line 214 ⟶ 213:
* Spike's expression when he found himself as the "bull" for the rodeo, and then after Applejack ties him up says; "How do I get roped into these things?"
=== Part Two ===
==== Suited for Success ====▼
▲== Suited for Success ==
* Rarity's [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyQIO0LcsJs epic] [[Ten-Minute Retirement|nervous breakdown]]:
{{quote|'''Rarity:''' ''[[Large Ham|I'm never coming out!!]]'' I can't show my face in Ponyville ever again! [[Sunset Boulevard|I used to be]] [[On the Waterfront|somepony.]] I used to be respected! I made dresses! Beautiful, beautiful dresses! But now, everypony is laughing at me! I'm nothing but a laughingstock! ''(sobbing)''
'''Twilight Sparkle:''' You're not a laughingstock, Rarity!
'''Rainbow Dash:''' [[Brutal Honesty|She kind of is!]]
'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Shh! ''(to Rarity)'' Come on out and talk to us.
'''Rarity:''' ''(throwing herself down on her bed)'' Leave me ALOOOOONE! [[Grand Hotel|I vant to be alone!]] I want to wallow in... [[Buffy-Speak|whatever it is that ponies are supposed to wallow in!]] [[Distracting Disambiguation|Do ponies wallow in pity?]] Oh, listen to me! I don't even know what I'm supposed to wallow in! ''[[Wangst|I'M SO PATHETIIIIIIIC!!!]]''
'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Now what do we do?
'''Fluttershy:''' Uh... panic?
'''Rainbow Dash:''' That's [[Your Answer to Everything|your answer for everything]]!
'''Applejack:''' Well, we can't just leave Rarity like this...
'''Pinkie Pie:''' She'll become a [[Crazy Cat Lady]]!
'''Twilight Sparkle:''' She only has ''one'' cat.
'''Pinkie Pie:''' Give her time... }}
** This is followed by a scene in which Rarity contemplates going into exile, and ''wonders what to pack''.
Line 237 ⟶ 235:
* Opal playing with Hoity Toity's mane as he waits for "take two" of the fashion show.
==== Feeling Pinkie Keen ====
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jzQ0EXbIlRU A group of pegasus delivery ponies accidentally dropping] [[Anvil on Head|a flower pot, an anvil]], a wagon, [[Piano Drop|and a piano]] on Twilight Sparkle. Bonus points for having [[Memetic Mutation|Derpy]] [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Hooves]] being part of said group.
* Spike backing out of Twilight's library with a stack of books is accompanied by the "beep... beep... beep..." warning sound of a truck backing up. Unfortunately, this is ''after'' the opening library door has already clobbered Twilight.
* When the Hydra first appears, Heads One, Three and Four bellow menacingly. Head Two is apparently a little slow, and has a moment of confusion before joining in the roaring.
** A moment later, Heads One, Three and Four lash out at the ponies, slamming into the mud, a tree and a rock in the process. Head Two, apparently as a bit of payback for being [[Late to
* Twilight is going to [[You Shall Not Pass|hold off the Hydra]] until the others can get across the gorge.
{{quote|'''Twilight Sparkle:''' "Oh, what would a brave pony like Rainbow Dash do?" *beat* "[[Leeroy Jenkins|CHAAARGE!!!]]"}}
Line 250 ⟶ 248:
** If you listen closely, you can hear a "whoosh-boom" as Celestia lands near Spike. That's right, despite having wings, Celestia seems to have literally fallen out of the sky, just to pick up Twilight's letter (and prove Pinkie right once again).
** [[Wild Mass Guessing|Or maybe a sonic rainboom?]]
* Gummy, Pinky's toothless pet alligator, gumming her, and her complete lack of a reaction.
** Not to mention the fact she has a Pinkie Sense reaction just for detecting when there's an alligator in the bath tub.
==== Sonic Rainboom ====
* This episode gives us Rarity's [[Pimped-Out Dress|flying attire]]. '''[[Uncanny Valley Makeup|Wow]]'''.
** Preceded by Rarity's [[Evil Laugh]] discovering that the rest of Cloudsdale is in awe of her wings. "Wah-HAHAHAH!"
* There's also [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xczDd2_X0DI Fluttershy's attempts] at enthusiastic cheering: [[Flat Joy|"Yay..."]]
{{quote|'''Rainbow Dash:''' Ugh... ''([[Face Fault|Falls over in frustration]])''
'''Fluttershy:''' ...Too loud? }}
** Seriously, ''every'' attempt at fangirling for Rainbow Dash is [[Adorkable]] [[Up to Eleven]].
Line 264 ⟶ 262:
* Pinkie's [[Fire-Breathing Diner|reaction]] when she (literally) tastes the rainbow, made all the funnier by her apparent love of spicy stuff in earlier episodes. Apparently, [[Up to Eleven|rainbows are too spicy for even Pinkie Pie!]]
** For extra icing on this piece of hilarity, Pinkie's lower lip quivering from the spiciness and neighing as she fled. I kid you not.
* Rainbow Dash's reaction to meeting the Wonderbolts, getting the best young flier crown from Celestia and her friends hoisting her up on their backs, complete with ''joyful wiggling'' during the last one.
{{quote|'''Rainbow Dash:''' Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!}}
==== The Stare Master ====
* The Cutie Mark Crusaders' attempts at fixing Fluttershy's table: "Hammer." "Hammer." "Hammer."
** Followed by the Crusaders' reactions to the end result:
{{quote|'''Sweetie Belle:''' Um, [[Captain Obvious|that doesn't look like a table.]]
'''Scootaloo:''' [[Too Many Cooks Spoil the Soup|We were making a table?]]
'''Apple Bloom:''' [[Deadpan Snarker|Somepony needs to put this thing out of its misery.]] }}
** And the fact that we somehow hear a saw and power drill while they "fix" it.
Line 287 ⟶ 285:
** Then she gives Sweetie Belle this really smug [[Cat Smile]].
* The CMC trying to get cutie marks based on arguing, then wondering what that would even look like.
* At the end, Rarity's reaction to Fluttershy easily getting the Cutie Mark Crusaders to listen to her.
==== The Show Stoppers ====
* The entire musical performance by the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
* The Crusaders [[Comically Missing the Point]] by ignoring their real talents.
Line 297 ⟶ 295:
* Scootaloo repeatedly [[Head Desk|Head Pianoing]] when she has trouble coming up with a song.
* "You're not using power tools, are ya?"
* A subtle one, from Scootaloo: "Coming up with words is... like, hard."
==== A Dog and Pony Show ====
* When [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruQJflvF09c Rarity starts] [[Pity the Kidnapper|tormenting her kidnappers:]]
{{quote|'''Diamond dog leader''': ENOUGH! Your whining...it-it HURTS!
'''Rarity:''' "Whining"? [[Insistent Terminology|I am not whining; I am complaining]]! Do you want to ''hear'' whining? ''(in a whiny voice)'' Thiiiiiiis is whining! [[Most Annoying Sound|Oooh, this harness is too tiiight! It's going to chafe. Can't you loosen it? Oooh, it hurts and it's sooo rusty! Why didn't you clean it first? It's gonna leave a staaain! And the wagon's getting heeeavy, why do I have to pull it?!]]
'''Small diamond dog''': Whaa! Make it stop!
'''Diamond dog leader''': Stop whining!
'''Rarity''': (stomping her front hooves) [[Cute but Cacophonic|But I thought you waaanted whiiiniiing!]] }}
* Not to mention when the Diamond Dogs try to force her to work again.
{{quote|'''Diamond Dog 1:''' Make the noises all you want, but move while you make them! [[A Taste of the Lash|*smacks her in the rump*]] Hya, mule!
'''Rarity:''' Did you just call me a ''mule?!''
'''Diamond Dog 1:''' [[Oh Crap|Uh...]]
'''Rarity:''' Mules are ugly! ''Are you saying that I too am ugly?!'' ''(bursts into tears)''
'''Diamond Dog 2:''' What are ''these'' noises?!
'''Rarity:''' ''[[Inelegant Blubbering|He called me ugl-l-ly!]]''
'''Diamond Dog 1:''' No! Mule! I said mule!
'''Rarity:''' ''[[Large Ham|An old, ugly mule! And it's TRUE! Just look at me!]] [[I Was Quite a Looker|I used to be beautiful!]] [[White Dwarf Starlet|B-b-but noooowwww...!]]''
'''Diamond Dog 3:''' No! You're still beautiful, pon--uh, Miss Rarity!
'''Rarity:''' ''[[Compliment Fishing|You're just saying thaaaat!]]''
'''Diamond Dog 2:''' No, you're still pretty! A-And, er...
'''Diamond Dog 1:''' And nice! Yeah!
'''Rarity:''' ''I don't believe you! YOU NEVER LIKED ME!'' }}
* Earlier, Rarity's fan-girl freakout when Sapphire Shores (the Pony of Pop) comes to commission some new outfits.
* Whenever Spike did his [[Big No
* Spike's fantasy about rescuing Rarity. [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EX6JOG4Dq30 It must be seen to be believed.]
** Not to mention Spike using Twilight as his steed as he charges to rescue Rarity.
Line 329 ⟶ 327:
'''Twilight:''' ''*exasperated sigh*'' "''Fine.''" }}
* When Spike and the girls are falling through the tunnels of the Diamond Dogs' lair, Pinkie Pie appears to be having the time of her life. At one point, she does a ''swan dive'' falling down a shaft as everyone else in the rescue party is freaking out.
** What makes it even funnier is, she probably somehow knew that they were all going to be just
** If you watch the whole sequence closely, you see Pinkie doing other stuff too. For instance, at the start, when everyone else is doing a [[Chain of People|chain of mouth-on-tails]], Pinkie (the last one) instead just grabs on to someone's tail and tucks her feet in. So while everyone else is sliding on their hooves, she's waving in the air enjoying herself.
** And when the chain of ponies goes flying over the gorge, look quick and you'll see Pinkie is actually riding on Fluttershy's back.
* The [[Imagine Spot]] of Rarity freaking out as she finds every surface covered in dirt.
==== Green Isn't Your Color ====
* Rarity's little fits of envy, especially "''I'm'' the one who should be mobbed by strangers wherever I go!"
* Pinkie Pie being ominous. "Losing a friend's trust is the fastest way to lose a friend..." "'''''Forever!'''''"
** Followed up later by Pinkie taking a bite out of an apple in an overly-dramatic fashion, then exclaiming "Mmm...Juicy!"
* Pinkie Pie's [[Paranoia Fuel|creepy ability to hide]] [[Behind a Stick|in the unlikeliest of places.]] She eavesdrops on conversations from a small basket of sponges and a ''mirror reflection''.
* Fluttershy letting out what may be [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8l1sgfLmC1Y the quietest frustrated scream] ''ever''. Later, she throws another hissy-fit and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ykVuLVhw7MY& kicks a vase]... so gently that it barely wobbles before righting itself.
* Twilight's sabotage attempt.
Line 352 ⟶ 350:
* The "secrets known to Twilight" dam finally bursting: "{{spoiler|[[The Not-Secret|SPIKE HAS A CRUSH ON RARITY!]]}}"
==== Over a Barrel ====
* Braeburn's lightning tour of Appleloosa.
{{quote|"As you can see, we have all the finest comforts, like horse drawn carriages! And those there are [[Visual Pun|horse-drawn horse drawn carriages]]!"
''(whip pan to a group of ponies sketching a passing coach)'' }}
** That joke is made even funnier by the sight of a clearly sentient pony dragging a carriage in which another pony is riding.
Line 374 ⟶ 372:
** Meanwhile, the other buffaloes are trying to stay awake while the chief goes on and on.
==== A Bird in the Hoof ====
* Angel Bunny trying to get Fluttershy to the tea party in time which ends with him locking her out of her house to keep her from repeatedly coming back and thanking Angel.
* Rainbow Dash making a series of faces to attempt to get a reaction out of the guard-pegasi.
Line 381 ⟶ 379:
** Applejack's uncertainty about what course to eat first, ultimately giving up in frustration. Then leaving with as many leftovers as she can carry.
** Mr. and Ms. Cake (repeatedly) refilling Celestia's tea, which tempts the Princess into faking them out.
** Pinkie, by contrast, is as hyper and happy-go-lucky as ever, perhaps moreso. She hits herself in the face with a pie, dips her head into a chocolate fountain, then proceeds to go up to the ''princess of Equestria,'' blurt "YOU GONNA EAT THAT!?!" and wolf down Celestia's cupcake. At the end of the party scene, she cartwheels out of Sugar Cube Corner, kicking another hapless pony in the face on her way out!
* Twilight Sparkle's prediction on what Princess Celestia might do to Fluttershy once Celestia finds out Fluttershy "kidnapped" Philomena.
* "I'll write to you when you're banished. Unless I'm banished too, somewhere where there's no post office, then you'll have to write to me. Deal?!"
Line 389 ⟶ 387:
'''Twilight Sparkle:''' No excuses! }}
* A second Yakety-sax inspired chase scene towards the end of the episode between Philemena, Twilight and Fluttershy who are all equally desperate to avoid the attention of the guards looking for the bird themselves.
* At the end of the episode, after Philomena {{spoiler|dies, revives, and is revealed to be a phoenix}}, it's revealed that much of the episode's plot was Philomena basically [[
* Rainbow Dash getting Philomena to tickle a reaction out of the royal guards.
==== Cutie Mark Chronicles ====
* Applejack describing Manehattan as "the most cosmopolitan city in all of Equestria", while her flashback shows a bystander telling a young Applejack "Outta the way, ya rube!"
* Pinkie Pie apparently forgetting what she was talking about, where she caps off the story of how she got her cutie mark with "And that's how Equestria was made!", followed by offering to someday tell the Cutie Mark Crusaders the story of how she got her cutie mark.
Line 410 ⟶ 408:
{{quote|'''Scootaloo:''' These namby-pamby stories aren't getting us any closer to our cutie marks! They're all about 'finding who you really are' and boring stuff like that!}}
==== Owl's Well That Ends Well ====
* Spike's first meeting with Owlowiscious:
{{quote|'''Spike:''' Uh, hi! I'm Spike. I'm sure Twilight has told you ''all'' about me.
Line 425 ⟶ 423:
** What's even better is that in the middle of his scheme, Twilight and Owlowiscious walk in. The [[Right Behind Me|"she's-standing-right-behind-me-isn't-she?"]] look on Spike's face is priceless.
==== Party of One ====
* Pinkie Pie delivering a singing telegram invitation to Gummy's birthday party to each of her friends in the opening, wearing herself out in the process.
** What really sells it is Gummy, the birthday gator himself, who just kind of stands there in the middle of whatever elaborate costume Pinky Pie has on at the moment. Also helping are all of her friends' reactions to their singing telegram.
Line 448 ⟶ 446:
*** The best part is how the voice she does for "[[Rocky (film)|Rocky]]" actually sounds like [[Sylvester Stallone]].
* I don't know if it's his adorably googly eyes, the fact that no matter what his expression never, ever changes, or the fact that he's a tiny alligator with no teeth who acts like a cat, but Gummy is usually the funniest part of any episode he's in.
** This troper gladly seconds that, and adds that for some reason his gumming things is just adorably hilarious.
** Don't forget the way he blinks one eye at a time.
*** Also he has a tendency to come out of nowhere - it can be a (relatively) normal scene and then BOOM. ALLIGATOR.
**** Gummy is a
==== The Best Night Ever ====
* Rarity objects to Spike being allowed in the boutique while the girls are getting dressed, and Applejack [[Lampshade Hanging|points out]] that they [[Half-Dressed Cartoon Animal|don't normally wear clothes]] anyway.
* Twilight shows off her new spell to [[Cinderella (novel)|turn mice into horses]] [[Furry Confusion|to pull their carriage to the Gala]]. The other ponies' reaction to that is priceless enough. Then, Opal scares them off, and this exchange occurs:
{{quote|'''Twilight Sparkle''': Those horses were supposed to pull our carriage! How will we get to the Gala?!
'''Rarity''': [[Sarcasm Mode|Whatever shall we]] '''[[Sarcasm Mode|do]]'''?! {''walks over to a couple of male ponies''} Uh, excuse me, would you boys mind pulling our carriage to the Gala?
{''[[Gilligan Cut]] of the ponies harnessed to the carriage''}
'''Twilight''': Oh, yeah, right. }}
** What's even more hilarious is the animation error on the stallion on the right when Rarity charms them (a part of his face and mane disappears for a moment).
Line 468 ⟶ 466:
** Later, she tries to get the party jumping with ''another'' song... the "Pony Pokey". [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5JBbXw4V-Tc The visuals accompanying said song] make it even funnier.
* Rarity smashing her glass slipper so that [[Prince Charmless|Prince Blueblood]] can't find her may well be the Crowning Moment of Funny for the whole season.
{{quote|'''Pinkie Pie''': [[The Girl Who Fits This Slipper|Ooh! Rarity, your glass slipper! Now your prince is sure to find you.]]
'''Rarity''': (screams in horror) *deliberately stomps on slipper* Let's go!
'''Pinkie Pie''': *stares at crushed slipper in shock until Rarity drags her off* }}
** Actually, most scenes with Rarity and Prince Blueblood are hilarious. Both keep hinting at the chivalrous things which Rarity ends up doing like paying for food, opening the door and putting a piece of clothing over a puddle.
Line 478 ⟶ 476:
'''Both''': *Awkward pause until Rarity covers the puddle* }}
* Fluttershy, the kind and compassionate member of the group, slowly losing her temper because none of the animals will hang out with her. Which eventually leads to her trying to trap them, and even carrying a squirrel with her teeth near the end!
** You can briefly see a vulture hiding on a tree with some small rodents (his ''prey'') and even shielding them with its wings from the rampaging Fluttershy.
*** [[Brick Joke|whilst buzzing.]]
** At one point during Pinkie's song, nearly drowned out by Pinkie's singing, you can hear Fluttershy screaming in frustration- Actually, scratch that. You can hear her ROAR in frustration. ''LIKE A DINOSAUR.''
Line 486 ⟶ 484:
'''Caretaker''': Mmm, sounds good to me. }}
* As Celestia sees the chaos at the Gala rising to a peak, she offers Twilight the following advice: "Run." Twilight and her friends are quick to follow that advice. Bonus points for coming as Fluttershy hits breaking point:
{{quote|'''Twilight Sparkle''': [[Tempting Fate|Well, things can't get any worse...]]
''Cue the door slamming open and all the animals rushing through, revealing a ticked-off and very exhausted Fluttershy''...
'''Fluttershy''': You're... ''going to '''[[Unstoppable Rage|LOVE MEEEE!!!]]'''''
'''Celestia''': (to Twilight Sparkle) ''RUN''. }}
* Right before the end, Spike [[Drowning My Sorrows|drowning his sorrows]] in [[Drunk on Milk|doughnuts and cocoa]] to the point that the shopkeeper's worried for him.
Line 494 ⟶ 492:
'''Pony Joe''': Don't you think you've had enough?
'''Spike''':(Slams mug down on table) [[I'll Tell You When I've Had Enough!|ANOTHER DONUT! EXTRA SPRINKLES!]] }}

=== Part One ===
==== The Return of Harmony, Part
* The new [[Big Bad]], Discord, is a wa-flying, talking continuous [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]; when he's not being [[Nightmare Fuel|just a little bit scary.]]
▲* The new [[Big Bad]], Discord, is a wa-flying, talking continuous [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]; when he's not being [[Nightmare Fuel|just a little bit scary.]]
** On the other hoof, it also makes him [[Faux Affably Evil|really creepy at times...]]
* Shifty-eyed Applejack was pretty funny.
* Rarity {{spoiler|being greedier and hammier than usual. ''I know where you live!''}}
* Fluttershy... {{spoiler|the bully.}}
* Discord tries to {{spoiler|[[Break the Cutie|break]] Fluttershy as he did with the others, but he learns that Fluttershy is just [[Incorruptible Pure Pureness|too kind to be broken so easily]], forcing him to give up his tricks and brainwash her the old-fashioned way.}}
Line 511 ⟶ 505:
* During Discord's conversation with Celestia and the mane cast, Pinkie Pie starts laughing, which Twilight isn't happy about, [http://s3.amazonaws.com/kym-assets/photos/images/newsfeed/000/174/802/1316269817349.gif?1316270031 but how can you not laugh at this?]
* "Hold on a second! Eternal chaos comes with chocolate rain, you guys! ''Chocolate. Rain!''"
* Pinkie's reaction to {{spoiler|the elements being missing}} is priceless.
{{quote|'''Pinkie:''' Oh well, if anyone needs me, I'll be outside in the chocolate puddles with a giant swizzle straw.}}
* Despite the seriousness of the situation, seeing ''[[Physical God|Celestia]]'' [[Jaw Drop]] when {{spoiler|she realizes Discord has stolen the elements}} is just funny coming from such an unflappable, reserved character.
Line 540 ⟶ 534:
* Discord's ''meowing umbrella''.
==== The Return of Harmony, Part 2 ====
* Fluttershy continues to be hilarious. After the mutant bunnies run over Twilight, she shouts out "Good boy, Angel! Mama's so proud!"
** "Hey Twilight, what's soaking wet and clueless?" ''(splash)'' "Your ''FACE!''" ''([[Unsound Effect|bucket]])''
Line 550 ⟶ 544:
'''Twilight''': Nope. We've got the liar, the grump, the hoarder, and the brute. That just about covers it.
'''Spike''': What about Rainbow Dash?
'''Twilight''': Congratulations Spike! [[Closest Thing We Got|You're the new Rainbow Dash!]] Now let's go!
'''Spike''': ME?!? Bu-bu-but if she finds out I've been impersonating her... oh... that won't end well.
'''Twilight''': Too bad. You're Rainbow Dash. Now let's go defeat Discord so we never have to talk to each other again.
'''Everyone except Spike''': YEAH! WOOHOO! }}
** And before any of this:
Line 562 ⟶ 556:
** '''LOOK OUT! HERE COMES TOM!''' *giant boulder crashes through window and nearly crushes Pinkie Pie*
** Also when she takes Fluttershy's cast off necklace: "MINE!"
* On a related note, Rarity's {{spoiler|de-brainwashing scene}}, while more implied than shown, is fairly hilarious.
{{quote|'''Rarity:''' "What do you think you're doing? Get away from my gem! Get awa-"
''{Magical flash}''
Line 573 ⟶ 567:
*** Applejack saying her line with a bonafide Trollface.
* {{spoiler|When the others were chasing Rainbow Dash so Twilight could cure her of Discord's spell, Fluttershy said this before going into [[Let's Get Dangerous|determined mode.]]}}
{{quote|'''Fluttershy:''' [[
** Before that, {{spoiler|Applejack manages to lasso Rainbow Dash, but because Pinkie forgot to secure the rope, Rainbow Dash manages to get away...but not before the rope snags Pinkie and Rarity and drags them out of the Twinkling Balloon with Rarity admonishing Pinkie. [http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/62811 Their facial expressions are priceless.]}}
{{quote|'''Rarity''': Fluttershy, could you be a dear and FLY FASTER, PLEASE?}}
* "Um, I'm just wondering if it's okay if I hold you down against your will for a little bit?"
Line 583 ⟶ 577:
** Apparently, [[Your Mileage May Vary]] [[Nightmare Fuel|on this one]].
* Ballet dancing buffalo wearing onesies. That is all.
** Also, floating pies.
*** ''[[Asdfmovie|Pie flavor!]]''
*** Becomes a [[Brick Joke]] when the pies rain down around Discord, who's laughing his head off, just before the above-mentioned exploding chocolate milk incident.
Line 593 ⟶ 587:
* Midway through the episode, there's a shot of Discord walking where every footstep has a different ridiculous sound effect. I had to rewind and watch it a few times, and I still can't stop laughing.
==== Lesson Zero ====
* Everything about Twilight's anal retentive behavior and momentary descent to madness this episode is a big bag of this. Where do we even begin?
** [[Obsessed Are the Listmakers|Her]] [[Department of Redundancy Department|checklists]].
Line 621 ⟶ 615:
* Pinkie Pie's pointless contribution to the picnic: A basket of balloons which proceeds to lift the basket up into the air. Pinkie does her usual [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] glance, only to look puzzled as if ''she knows'' the audience is unable to comprehend why she brought it.
** She is actually looking at Fluttershy, and is put out by her nonplussed reaction.
* Spike has apparently been taking lessons in [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] from Pinkie. He pushes away a background, rolls one of Twilight's [[Imagine Spot
** And then, his beleaguered postscript to the end-of-episode letter.
* Applejack's response when {{spoiler|Celestia shows up.}}
{{quote|'''Applejack:''' [[Oh Crap|Whoa, Nellie...]]}}
* Celestia's [[Fascinating Eyebrow]] while Twilight's friends are taking the blame for her going this far to try and learn a lesson to send her.
* Twilight's adorably big grin when she tells Spike the first thing to add to their daily to-do list.
==== Luna Eclipsed ====
* Chaperone Granny Smith's response to Twilight wishing her a happy Nightmare Night.
{{quote|'''Granny Smith''': I should have been asleep five hours ago!}}
Line 647 ⟶ 641:
** "Too old for free candy!? ''Ba-Gawk!'' '''NEVER!'''"
* Derpy Hooves popping out of the apple-bobbing tub, plug in mouth. Bonus points for [[Heterosexual Life Partners|Carrot Top's]] deadpan reaction to it.
** Derpy's
** Made even funnier by the proud expression on Derpy's face as she pops up out of the tub with the plug, only for it to turn to despair as the water starts draining away.
* The scene where Spike complains about Mayor Mare's cheesy voice complete with a rainbow wig is funnier [[Fridge Brilliance|when you realize that both of them are voiced by Cathy Weseluck.]]
Line 673 ⟶ 667:
** Bit of [[Fridge Brilliance]] there, too. Pinkie's not ''actually'' scared, she's just getting into the spirit of Nightmare Night.
==== Sisterhooves Social ====
* Sweetie Belle [[Lethal Chef|cooks for her sister.]]
{{quote|'''Rarity''': I didn't know you could burn...juice.
'''Rarity's Mother:''' I've been giving her lessons. I wouldn't be surprised if she's got a Cutie Mark in fancy cooking by the time we get back from our vacation. }}
** And then afterwards...
{{quote|''(Sweetie Belle puts a bowl of bubbling black...[[Buffy-Speak|stuff]] on the table.)''
'''Rarity:''' L-Let me guess...applesauce?
'''Sweetie Belle:''' Nope. [[Epic Fail|Toast!]] }}
* Sweetie Belle's huge pile of luggage. "Just a few necessities..."
Line 703 ⟶ 697:
* Sweetie Belle's [[Memetic Mutation|infamous]] sliding across the floor with her hind legs.
==== The Cutie Pox ====
* Scootaloo's [[Epic Fail|attempt at bowling.]]
** This troper thinks it was funny that she bucked the ball.
Line 712 ⟶ 706:
* Apple Bloom's short wait after learning her lesson of "Good things come to those who wait".
{{quote|'''Apple Bloom:''' Well, I've waited long enough!}}
* Twilight bucking Spike off her back after his smart-alecky lampshading of [[
* ''[[The Big Lebowski]]'' ponies, including Jesus! Now there's a [[Parental Bonus]] for you.
* Apple Bloom suddenly speaking French, and Applejack's horrified reaction.
Line 725 ⟶ 719:
* Ponies in [[Hazmat Suit|Hazmat suits]]! Complete with Radioactivity Cutie Mark!
==== May the Best Pet Win ====
* Gummy clinging to Pinkie Pie's head like a suckerfish.
** Or a [[Futurama|brain slug]].
Line 742 ⟶ 736:
** If it wasn't obvious, a ''lot'' of Rainbow Dash's dialogue is this. [[Dramatic Pause|"Pause for]] [[Genre Savvy|dramatic effect."]]
* Near the end of the episode, when {{spoiler|Tank the tortoise is carrying an injured Rainbow Dash to the end of the race}}, the rest of the mane six get impatient and just move the finish line closer.
* "It can fly and it's not a squirrel!...[[Lampshade Hanging|should we sing about it again]]?"
* The last little exchange between Twilight and Rainbow:
{{quote|'''Twilight Sparkle''': Tenacity.
Line 752 ⟶ 746:
'''Fluttershy''': [[Hypocritical Humor|Whatever]]. }}
==== The Mysterious Mare Do Well ====
* This exchange when Twilight notices Rainbow Dash show-boating:
{{quote|'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Call me silly, but this whole "hero" thing might be going to Rainbow Dash's head.
'''Pinkie Pie:''' You may be right... [[Literal
** Made even better by Pinkie's uncharacteristically serious tone of voice.
** The look on Twilight's face also really sells it.
Line 764 ⟶ 758:
* The fact that Rainbow Dash had Spike write her autobiography after the "Spike is the new Rainbow Dash" meme can also qualify.
* "Excuse me, but do you think you could just skip your catch phrase, and hurry up and save us?!"
* Rainbow's [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/mlp/images/e/ee/Rainbow%27s_Epic_WTF_face.png reaction]{{Dead link}} to the Mare Do Well having saved four construction workers in the time it took her to save one.
* Rainbow Dash helping Granny Smith cross the street, and then getting whacked by her purse because she didn't want any help.
* Rainbow Dash performs the heroic feat of...''mowing the lawn!''
Line 785 ⟶ 779:
* The way Rainbow Dash casually tosses the baby over her shoulder to the mother, who catches the poor foal by the diaper and glares daggers at RD before walking away.
==== Sweet and Elite ====
* Everything involving [[Butt Monkey|the bellhop pony]].
* Rarity's [[Hurricane of Excuses]] while switching between the two parties.
Line 795 ⟶ 789:
** It's also amusing to note that Opal apparently wears mascara, which is running due to the dousing.
* Pinkie Pie finally reveals how she can set up parties almost instantaneously: she has a '''party cannon.''' Pinkie Pie has ''weaponized fun!''
** And the fact that it's completely IN-CHARACTER for her to possess such an item. To further highlight its absurdity, it serves as the beginning of a pony conga line which is the current focus of many "Haters gonna Hate" GIFs.
* Twilight's [http://www.ponibooru.org/post/view/93442 really bad dancing]{{Dead link}} at the garden party.
* Pinkie Pie after Rarity wakes up: "Hi again!"
* "Balloons are super-easy to pack!"
Line 806 ⟶ 800:
** Applejack's ''literal'' take on a garden party.
{{quote|'''Applejack''': ''(Digging a hole and tossing a couple of weeds)'' How come y'all aren't doin' any gardening? This ''is'' a "garden party," innit?}}
* Rarity kissing Celestia's hoof to show her gratitude. The look of awkwardness on Celestia's face is priceless.
* Derpy's inexplicable appearance in the checkerboard of upper class ponies, complete with bag on head, but dressed up with a pearl necklace.
* The scene right after Rarity is getting ready to go to the garden party. She's finally dressed up all fancy, goes to exit the room... cue the rest of the mane cast appearing out of nowhere. What makes the moment is that there was never any indication that they were going to show up, meaning it's just as unexpected for the audience as it is for Rarity.
Line 818 ⟶ 812:
* Rarity absent-mindedly dipping her hors d'oeuvre in chocolate, and her reaction to the taste combination.
==== The Secret of My Excess ====
* [[Kitchen Sink Included|A kitchen sink]] is in the pile of Spike's presents.
* Giant!Spike making a "blah blah blah" motion with his free hand as Rarity tells him off.
Line 843 ⟶ 837:
* Rainbow Dash completely losing it over Twilight and Applejack tying themselves to a tree.
** The fact that she ''immediately'' assumed they tied ''themselves'' to the tree.
* Spike keeps trying to take the doctor's utensils, with Twilight slapping his hand away.
* As always, [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Derpy]] appears, this time [[Funny Background Event|popping out of a well]] [[Moment Killer|to interrupt a conversation between Bon Bon and Lyra Heartstrings]].
* Twilight and Zecora discussing Spike's problem...and then [[Failed a Spot Check|noticing that Spike]] [[Behind the Black|has completely cleaned out Zecora's hut]]. Including the cauldron they were talking over seconds ago.
Line 860 ⟶ 854:
* The way Rainbow Dash pulls Fluttershy to her side from off screen with one arm and proudly inflated chest when they need to save Rarity and Spike.
==== Family Appreciation Day ====
* Granny Smith's various bits of weirdness like painting polka dots all over the kitchen and being a [[Drill Sergeant Nasty]] to ''jam jars''. {{spoiler|At least until it turns out they're all completely necessary for the zap apples to turn out right.}}
** Not to mention dressing up in a bunny suit and singing the ABCs while hopping over watering cans. Made even better when the foals {{spoiler|including Diamond Tiara}} join in with her and wear their own bunny ears. Applejack calls it "singing to the water."
Line 867 ⟶ 861:
* The CMCs' various ways of trying to get Granny Smith out of coming to Family Appreciation Day.
** Sweetie Belle getting electrocuted while trying to buck the unripe zap apples.
*** Completely coincidentally, this episode aired the day after the release of the 5th episode of the [[Abridged Series]] ''[[Friendship Is Witchcraft]]'', which has re-imagined Sweetie Belle as a robot.
** Using the sleeping Granny Smith as a virtual puppet, with eye-painted glasses, Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo in control of her arms and legs, and Apple Bloom providing her voice.
*** The dumbfounded look on Cheerilee's face when Granny Smith wakes up from her nap while Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo are losing control of the ropes, leading to Granny Smith smiling while rising up into the air over the barn.
Line 875 ⟶ 869:
* Granny sitting so fast she pushes her chair away.
* The intro: Granny Smith, in the dead of night, clanging two pots that are tied to her back and hollering, "THE TIMBER WOLVES ARE A'HOWLING, THE TIMBER WOLVES ARE A'HOWLING!" and Big Macintosh's calm "Eeeyup" in response.
* The callback to "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
* Granny Smith's mother looking angry about her husband's expression of gratitude toward Princess Celestia.
* The light in the clubhouse turning on after Scootaloo hits it when she jumps up after getting an idea.
* If you look closely, the look on Sweetie Belle's face after she gets woken up when Filthy Rich's presentation is done is worth a chuckle or two.
** Silver Spoon ''drooling'' during his presentation as well.
** The entire class is bored or asleep during Filthy's presentation...except for Diamond Tiara, who is wide-eyed and attentive. She's the only one who claps at the end.
Line 890 ⟶ 884:
* After telling the class her story, the instant before Diamond Tiara calls her "just a kooky old lady", Granny Smith ''licks'' half a math problem off the chalkboard. Leaving her tongue hanging out afterward with a dopey-yet-innocent expression, was just icing on the hilarity cake.
==== Baby Cakes ====
* Pinkie Pie's myriad [[Oh Crap]] expressions, especially when Pumpkin starts using magic.
* Pinkie Pie's description of the uses of a crib: "It is only to be used for napping, sleeping, and on occasion with permission, as a pretend old timey western fort!"
Line 910 ⟶ 904:
*** And she's very flattered that they thought of her, not realizing that (since asking Pinkie was out of the question for them) she was their absolute ''last'' choice.
*** Your Element of Generosity, fillies and gentlecolts.
* The standup comedy scene, mostly [[media:
* Pinkie's unusually sarcastic response after realizing the flour is becoming a [[Running Gag]]. "Yeah, I think I can see where this is going."
* Pinkie's usual reality-breaking ways, including getting into the hospital nursery by apparently warping underground, and talking to herself during her standup routine.
Line 928 ⟶ 922:
{{quote|'''Mr. Cake:''' Are we in the right place?}}
==== Hearth's Warming Eve ====
* In the play, Pinkie gets the role of the earth ponies' leader...Chancellor Puddinghead. It fits her to a "T", and pretty much everything her character does is hilarious:
** For starters, the fact that she ''literally'' has a large cup of pudding on her head at all times.
Line 948 ⟶ 942:
{{quote|'''Twilight:''' ''(As Pinkie pulls her head)'' '''[http://www.youtube.com/watch?v{{=}}tKtnomnah4Q PINKIE!]'''}}
* Princess Platinum putting her crown on ''upside-down'' in her haste to leave the council.
* The leaders fighting over the small rock is hilarious if you recall Tom from "The Return of Harmony", especially Princess Platinum's "Give me my rock!" line. It's equally hilarious if you remember [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* Fluttershy's [[Flat Joy|typical]] happy yell.
* While the leaders are stamping their hooves in frustration, Pinkie is doing [http://s3.amazonaws.com/kym-assets/photos/images/original/000/218/477/99614%20-%20animated%20pinkie_pie%20spoiler%20twilight_sparkle.gif?1324137995 this].
Line 968 ⟶ 962:
'''Clover the Clever''': ''What'' dungeon?! }}
=== Part Two ===
==== The Last Roundup ====▼
▲== The Last Roundup ==
* The entire sequence based on the classic ''[[I Love Lucy]]'' conveyor belt sketch. Complete with Pinkie Pie piling cherries onto her and Fluttershy's toques, and planting herself at the end of the belt to fill up her mouth.
* "Is it because you were insulted when I insulted your hair?" Oh, Rarity, you always have the best lines.
Line 988 ⟶ 981:
{{quote|'''Pinkie Pie:''' Chimi-cherry, cherry-changa, chimi-cherry, cherry-changa...
'''Rarity:''' When I get back, you're going to get it, Rainbow Dash. }}
** It hasn't been lost on the fandom that Rainbow Dash is scheduled to end up in the hospital [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
* The mailstallion thinking Applejack's surprise party is for him because it happens to be his birthday. Also could count as an amazing [[Shout-Out]] to the [[Avatar: The Last Airbender]] finale.
** The mailstallion getting the barn doors closed in his face by Twilight? Dickish. Mailstallion gets some cake anyways? Heartwarming AND funny, just cos it's Pinkie Pie.
* Fluttershy demonstrating the difference between being surprised and being startled.
* "RARITYCATCHME!" "What?! Pinkie [[Big No|NOOOOOOOOOO-]]" *SMACK*
* Pinkie Pie's bathroom dance.
Line 1,005 ⟶ 998:
'''Applejack:''' Aw, nuts! }}
==== The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 ====
* Applejack's letter to Princess Celestia at the end.
{{quote|'''Applejack:''' Dear Princess Celestia: I wanted to share my thoughts with you. Ahem: {{spoiler|[happily] I didn't learn '''anything'''! ''I was right all along!''}}
Line 1,016 ⟶ 1,009:
* Derpy appearing in the background, with her eyes "derped" so far apart they're practically rolling into her head.
* Granny Smith's reaction when Flim [[Nobody Calls Me Chicken|called her chicken]].
* Rainbow Dash's anticipation for cider throughout Flim and Flam's song leads to some [http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/8742e1071f3d5661b0f9e1dd6734d736/120440%20-%20animated%20cider%20rainbow_dash.gif hilarious expressions]
* Rarity helping Granny Smith with quality control:
{{quote|'''Granny Smith:''' Good'un, bad'un, bad'un, good'un...
Line 1,030 ⟶ 1,023:
* Can we leave it at the brothers making some rather amusing faces if you paused it at the right time and leave it at that?
==== Read It and Weep ====
* Pinkie Pie twisting her head around and around in order to follow Rainbow Dash as she practices her flying tricks at the start of the episode.
* Daring Do confronting a pack of ferocious felines, including a tiger, a panther, a cheetah, a bobcat... and a cute white kitten.
Line 1,037 ⟶ 1,030:
* Daring Do dodging the traps in the temple, including ''ceiling alligators'' and one trap [[Noodle Incident|we don't see]], but which produces a number of amusing noises and leaves a number of arrows stuck through Daring Do's [[Nice Hat]].
* Daring Do going through all the same gestures as [[Indiana Jones]] preparing to steal the idol in ''[[Raiders of the Lost Ark]]''... then just swiping it without trying to trick the counterweight system.
** Which is quite possibly a [[Shout-Out]] to [http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=wnoHkG7j-Nk#t=253s this scene] from the [["Weird Al" Yankovic]] movie [[UHF (film)|UHF]].
* The in-book villain Ahuizotl arrives on the scene all menacing... and speaks with Pinkie's voice (because Pinkie was just arriving to Dash's room).
* The [[No Kill Like Overkill|sheer overkill]] of the [[Death Trap]] Ahuizotl leaves for Daring Do. Spiked walls closing in, snakes, spiders, ''and'' quicksand?!
** The fact that all of the traps are deactivated by switching a single lever. Even the spiders and snakes.
* Rainbow Dash's faked snores... particularly the one with a very questioning tone to Twilight.
* We hear barking throughout the chase scene at the end of the episode, as if the hospital workers have sent out guard dogs to catch Rainbow Dash. And then when she's finally cornered outside the library... the camera pans over to a clearly insane pony in a straitjacket (a pony who has a ''screw'' for a cutie mark, no less) making faces to rival [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
* Rainbow's put on eating habits upset even Pinkie Pie... and [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* As the hospital ponies chase Rainbow Dash around, RD notices a vine just like the sort Daring Do used in her book. She swings across the river using the
* "Wow! I knew this book was good, but I didn't know it could drive a pony to petty theft!"
* While Ahuizotl curses Daring Do, his minions just sit there without reacting.
Line 1,059 ⟶ 1,052:
* "I hate to admit it to my self, and really hate to admit it to my friends, but I LOVE THIS STORY!" This is akin to the reactions of many of the people who first start watching the series.
==== Hearts and Hooves Day ====
* Just about every facial expression the CMC make including [https://web.archive.org/web/20140328043820/http://i3.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/247/243/78b.png this one], [http://i1.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/247/353/501.png this one]{{Dead link}}, [http://i0.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/248/571/033.%25e2%2580%258bgif this one]{{Dead link}} and [http://i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/original/000/247/205/3f2.gif this one].
* During their song:
{{quote|'''Sweetie Belle:''' Nothing's wrong with this one, he seems all right.
Line 1,089 ⟶ 1,082:
'''Big Macintosh:''' "...Eeyup." }}
* Apple Bloom's over-the-top [[Imagine Spot]] of what would happen to Ponyville if Big Mac and Cheerilee don't get cured.
** Particularly the pegasus stallion that crashes headlong into a house for no particular reason.
{{quote|'''Apple Bloom:''' Ponyville will be overrun by uneducated little ponies starving for apples! It'll be chaos! ''It'll be chaos!!''}}
** There's also the cut to Apple Bloom waving her arms in the air and looking panicky, while Scootaloo just ''stares'' at her with a hilarious expression of bafflement.
* The expression and tone Cheerilee has when she answers the CMCs' question they gave her in order to have her come to the gazebo:
{{quote|'''Cheerilee:''' *deadpan and without the normal lilt in her voice* "It's an apple tree."}}
* The face on that one stallion who really likes jelly looks like a [https://web.archive.org/web/20130926064513/http://i1.kym-cdn.com/entries/icons/original/000/002/252/me-gusta.jpg certain face you would see in rage comics].
** And just that stallion himself, who comes out of nowhere after several others have far more reasonable flaws. He's all kinds of hilarious and creepy.
* The CMC ''vacuuming off'' a rainbow's colors for their love potion.
* At the end, to try and slow down Big Mac, Apple Bloom ties him to a cart full of anvils and Berry Punch's ''house''. Only the latter slows him down for a bit.
** The fact that it's Berry Punch's house, and the look of somewhat baffled horror on her face.
** On that note, Cheerilee ''smashes through a door''. ''Twice.''
Line 1,106 ⟶ 1,099:
{{quote|'''Apple Bloom''': 'course, if you're gonna get married you'll wanna pick out a really nice diamond for your *gag*...schmoopy doopy pookie pie.
'''Scootaloo''': Don't you think you should start looking for your wedding dress? You'll want to look your best for your...honey bunny snuggle baby. }}
* Sweetie Belle crashing a funeral, calling the eulogist "old", and bouncing away is as [[Crosses the Line Twice|funny]] as it is [[Crosses the Line Twice|absolutely terrible.]]
* Apple Bloom, as she tries to distract Big Mac. "How much time is left? I'm running out of ways to make diamonds sound bad!"
* It's subtle, but Scootaloo's response to finding out the CMC need to keep Cheerilee and Big Mac from looking into each other's eyes for one hour: "Only an hour? Pff, we can pull that off in a ''second.''"
* This troper personally found ''everything'' Big Mac said outright hysterical. Why? Because it's the first time he's had more than two words of solo dialogue since [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* Apple Bloom's [[Late to
{{quote|'''Apple Bloom''': Wait a minute, let me get this straight. Are you talkin' about ''my brother?!''}}
* It's a small one, but when Apple Bloom is telling Cheerilee why the CMC love her so much, their enormous valentine falls on top of them, but she just keeps talking as if nothing happened.
Line 1,126 ⟶ 1,119:
* The small kicks Mac's hind leg makes after he lands head-first in the pit.
==== A Friend in Deed ====
* Pinkie Pie gearing up in aerobics clothes and... doing silly faces. Then we find she was doing that in an effort to make Pound and Pumpkin Cake laugh.
* Pinkie Pie's random songs during her efforts to cheer up Cranky.
Line 1,148 ⟶ 1,141:
* While chasing Cranky, Pinkie jumps from one apple tree to the next, and knocks ''all'' the apples down just by landing on the top of the trees.
==== Putting Your Hoof Down ====
* ''Every'' catchphrase Iron Will does is deliciously hammy.
* When Fluttershy tries to get a cherry from a gruff stallion at a reduced price, she decides to take Rarity's advice and '''flirt''' with him!
Line 1,196 ⟶ 1,189:
** This is just a part of it: even when defending her friend, Pinkie Pie still brings her [[Crazy Awesome|own unique flair]] to the argument.
==== It's About Time ====
* [[Future Badass]] Twilight is actually from {{spoiler|next Tuesday}}.
* Twilight having no idea that she's wearing Groucho Marx glasses when she starts talking about the warning.
Line 1,209 ⟶ 1,202:
* Pinkie Pie's reaction when a potted plant falls on Twilight's head after her Pinkie sense acts up again:
{{quote|'''Pinkie''': [[Lampshade Hanging|Where did that even come from?]]}}
** Spike's blink and you miss it [[Oh Crap]] face when Pinkie's tail twitches.
* How did Future!Twi get that eyepatch? {{spoiler|[[Too Dumb to Live|SHE LOOKED AT THE SUN THROUGH A TELESCOPE.]]}}
** Directly after {{spoiler|Pinkie cheerfully says she has no idea if she set up the telescope so it would be safe.}}
Line 1,220 ⟶ 1,213:
* Pinkie seems to go through the entire episode having no real idea what Twilight is even worried about, and becomes convinced it's somehow about finding out what her birthday present will be.
* Twilight, completely seriously and sincerely deciding that [[Time Stands Still|stopping time]] is a viable solution to preventing the catastrophe after several previous attempts failed.
* There's something strangely hilarious about ''[[Doctor Who
** Common fanon consensus is that he's laughing to avoid blowing his cover.
* A bit meta, but the very notion of a magical purple unicorn declaring something to be scientifically impossible is pretty hilarious.
Line 1,229 ⟶ 1,222:
* "Now you look like a pirate! A sleepy pirate with a really weird mane-cut."
==== Dragon Quest ====
* The girls' pathetic dragon disguise, and the fact that it actually works.
** Primarily because there's a real dragon nearby that actually ''looks'' like them.
Line 1,246 ⟶ 1,239:
{{quote|'''Rarity''': Fighting's not really my thing, I'm more into fashion, but '''I'LL RIP YOU TO PIECES IF YOU TOUCH ONE SCALE ON HIS CUTE LITTLE HEAD!''' }}
** Her doing a little hair flip when she says that bit about liking fashion is just the cherry on top of another glorious Rarity scene.
* Rarity's idea of camouflage, and the fact that she added a bit of Pinkie flair to enhance her dramatic entrance.
** Also, adding to the above, while everypony else is watching the migration through binoculars, Rarity appears to be using opera glasses, which is so in character for her.
* Rainbow Dash says she's done her share of stupid things. Twilight, Spike, and Rarity respond in unison, "We know."
* Spike's [[High Dive Hijinks|high dive jump]].
==== Hurricane Fluttershy ====
* "Be cool or be a mule! [[Call Back|...no offense."]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* Fluttershy trying to get out of the big pegasus meeting by... disguising herself as a tree. [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* Fluttershy gently sets Angel down as she prepares to join the tornado. Said tornado promptly slams him into a tree. Also quite a cathartic image after "Putting Your Hoof Down."
* A blink-and-you'll-miss-it scene, after Fluttershy pulls off her 2.3, Twilight uses her magic to pull Spike off-screen via his claw. Totally deserved given the behavior up to that point.
Line 1,267 ⟶ 1,260:
** Then again, a flock of butterflies didn't seem to have any trouble supporting her weight as a filly...
==== Ponyville Confidential ====
* Snips and Snails getting stuck in gum.
** And then they get stuck in it again, in hopes of getting in the paper again.
Line 1,282 ⟶ 1,275:
* Rarity's sudden Julius Caesar reference:
{{quote|'''Rarity''': Et tu, Gabby Gums?}}
* When Diamond Tiara insists that nopony takes the current school paper seriously, it cuts to [[Fan Nickname|Truffle
* When Rainbow Dash bursts into the spa, she takes one of Spike's cucumber slices and eats it. Spike then ''sticks his claw down Rainbow Dash's throat'' in order to get it back.
* It's worth a chuckle to hear ''Rarity'' of all ponies say a phrase like "gum on their bum."
Line 1,294 ⟶ 1,287:
* "Stop the presses!" "Uh, they haven't started yet."
==== Mmmystery On The Friendship Express ====
* The official description for this episode calls the investigation in this episode "the silliest investigation in Equestian history." They have not lied to us yet and considering that recent and forthcoming episodes are/likely will be considered pretty darn dramatic, we could likely be in for a lot of these.
** It's also a nice bit of self-awareness at the idea of Pinkie Pie being a detective. Even the show knows [[Hilarity Ensues|hilarity will ensue]] from this.
Line 1,300 ⟶ 1,293:
* "Are you okay, thief?"
* Pinkie scratching her ear like a dog as she wakes up.
* Pinkie's assorted outlandish theories, and the [[Imagine Spot
** "Con Mane" resting his milkshake atop [[All There in the Script|Golden Harvest]]'s head before going off to sabotage the MMMM.
* The look on Joe's face when Rarity says he'd look good in a tuxedo.
Line 1,315 ⟶ 1,308:
* Rainbow Dash's and Fluttershy's deeply disturbed expressions upon first meeting the Mousse Moose.
==== A Canterlot Wedding ====
* Rarity faints happily twice, with big grins plastered on her face, after finding out two major pieces of information (that she's been asked to make dresses for the wedding, and that Shining Armor is Captain of the Royal Guard). The second time, Twilight pulls out a pillow to cushion her fall.
* Twilight making the sandwich talk when imitating her brother.
Line 1,331 ⟶ 1,324:
'''Pinkie Pie:'''...eh, I've seen better. ''(Proceeds to grab Twilight and '''use her as a gatling gun.''')'' }}
* Fluttershy, while confronted by a group of changelings that have taken her form, avoids fighting them by pretending to be a changeling herself and pointing them to the false direction of the "real" Fluttershy.
* [[It Makes Sense in Context|Pinkie and Cadence dancing.]]
* Spike announcing his plans for Shining Armor's bachelor party... after the wedding is over.
* Princess Luna's being absent once again during a big world ending event is actually lampshaded at the end of Part 2, when she just drops in with the words "[[The Cavalry Arrives Late|Hello, everypony. Did I miss anything]]?"
* An [[I Take Offense to That Last One]] moment after the reveal:
{{quote|'''Chrysalis:''' He may not be my husband, but he is under my total control now!
Line 1,346 ⟶ 1,339:
** "It's MINE!"
* Twilight zaps a few of the Changeling Applejacks, then levitates the real one, who shouts "Real me! Real me!"
== Miscellaneous ==
Outside-of-universe-but-still-show-related examples such as commercials, toys and other merchandise, outside references and [[Real Life]]. [[Fan Work]], however, has its [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Fan
* [[The Hub]]'s [[Crossover]] commercials:
Line 1,360 ⟶ 1,350:
** The ''second'' Dan Vs. Pinkie Pie commercial, with [[Dan Vs.|Dan]] thinking that [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MSoEZpKvgNs Pinkie Pie singing her "Twilight is my favoritest pony" song in the forest is creepy].
** The [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0LVdEnB9jQ Jingle Bells] ad. It starts with singing from numerous characters from various shows, including Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash... then the [[Batman: The Animated Series|B:tAS]] [[The Joker|Joker]] [[Hilarity Ensues|hijacks the song]] with the famous Batman parody version, much to Pinkie Pie's audible annoyance. [[Batman (TV series)|Robin's]] reaction to the "Robin laid an egg" verse is also glorious.
* [[So Bad It's Good]] TV listings. Specifically, Rarity and Rainbow Dash [[Gender Flip|becoming stallions]] (in the respective synopses of "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
** At least one description for ''Call of The Cutie'' called Apple Bloom "Apple Blossom".
* [https://web.archive.org/web/20130531052311/http://www.litzkypr.com/mlpSocialMedia/fanforumtab/videoplay.html This] is an alternate version of [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Hc5e_hZzx9k this] behind-the-scenes video, with the audio (presumably unintentionally) slowed down. Due to the audio and video becoming more and more desynchronized, Applejack ends up saying "We're hidin' from ''her!''" right when Princess Celestia is shown.
* During a Bronyville show live stream marathon, as people were singing along with the song At the Gala, an ad which featured Magneto popped up in the right corner of the screen causing the singers to alternate between the actual lyrics and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VEiKaN62aF8 singing about Magneto appearing at the Grand Galloping Gala].
* One of the animators did a behind the scenes type video series called "Evolution of a Scene", and always ended them on a funny bit of animation like Gilda appearing in the middle of Fluttershy's "Cutie Mark Chronicles" flashback or Derpy appearing alongside a bunch of derp-eyed pets, but the best one was #6, which ended with the Wonderbolts vs {{spoiler|[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Memes|MAGNEIGHTO]]}}!
* [[
** Boomstick's ''sheer incredulity'' at what they're doing just keeps getting funnier.
{{quote|'''Wiz:''' (on the Wonderbolts) They're sort of like the Blue Angels.
Line 1,371 ⟶ 1,361:
** The ending was hilarious, and COMPLETELY in character for Rainbow Dash. {{spoiler|Starscream's Spark appears above his wreckage and starts taunting her, so she ''eats'' it!}}
* It's good to know [[Lauren Faust]] has a sense of humor. One fan [http://comments.deviantart.com/4/1603670/2216411631 asks]...
{{quote|'''Fan:''' Was the name "[[Twilight (novel)|Twilight Sparkle]]" an intentional joke, or was that just by accident?
'''Lauren Faust:''' It passed legal. }}

** And that includes [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sPvt8ZYSEAc one from] [[Portal (series)|GLaDOS]].
* Rather than translate the lyrics, [http://maxiburger.tumblr.com/post/15836317638/what-japan-thinks-of-mlp110 one fansub from Japan] just turns them directly into ''katakana'' for [[Intentional Engrish for Funny]] lolz.
