== 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|
'''Pinkie Pie:''' [[Mundane Solution|It was under "E"!]] }}
** After defeating Nightmare Moon, the mane six are seen learning forward to peer at Princess Luna... and Pinkie Pie kills the mood by falling flat on her face.
** After that, Pinkie is so touched by Celestia and Luna's reconciliation that she [[Ocular Gushers|bursts into tears]]... then [[Mood Whiplash|she realizes this is the perfect opportunity to celebrate with a party.]]
* Twilight and Rarity's reaction to Pinkie's song...
{{quote|
'''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
* Twilight shouts for everyone to stop arguing, and Pinkie keeps going a bit, showing that she'd rather lost the thread of the discussion.
{{quote|
* The ponies' attempts to curry Twilight's favor are hilarious, but the funniest has to be Fluttershy's "spring cleaning". Not only is she a transparently bad liar, but Angel Bunny's silent snarking stare when Fluttershy tries to ''deny'' playing favoritism sells the entire scene, as does Fluttershy's brutal honesty after ''seeing'' the snarky glare.
* The starving Twilight's eyes when Applejack lists all the delicious apple themed food that she brought to bribe her for the ticket
* When Twilight turns down Dash's favor of clearing up the rainclouds directly above her and the rain finally falls on her aswell, ruining her meal, this exchange happens when Rarity passes by:
{{quote|
'''Twilight''' (completely soaked): *totally deadpan* No. Really? }}
==== Applebuck Season ====
* Eeeeyup. Just the entire introductory scene and Applejack's and Big Macintosh's exchange.
{{quote|
'''Applejack:''' Don't you use your fancy mathematics to muddy the issue! }}
* The expression Rainbow has on her face when Applejack presses the other end of the see-saw.
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 71 ⟶ 70:
* Twilight saying that Applejack is as stubborn as a mule, then saying 'no offense' to an actual mule who was standing just off screen.
* Slow-motion Pinkie. Enough said.
{{quote|
'''Applejack:''' ''(disoriented from exhaustion)'' Eh...eh, what was that?
'''Pinkie Pie:''' ''(slowed down, from Applejack's point of view)'' CHOOOCCCOLAAATE CHIIIPPPPSSS. }}
* The moment when Applejack believes she's finally finished harvesting all the apples from the orchard, until Big Macintosh comes along and points out she's only halfway through.
{{quote|
'''Big Macintosh:''' Uh, how do ''you'' like ''them'' apples?
'''Applejack:''' Mememe wha? Ahh... ''(faints)'' }}
* 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|
'''Pinkie Pie:''' Don't worry your pretty little head about mean old Gilda! ''(pats Fluttershy on the head)'' Your Auntie Pinkie Pie's got it all taken care of!
'''Fluttershy:''' ''(annoyed)'' I'm a year older than you. }}
* The prank montage near the beginning of the episode.
Line 91 ⟶ 90:
* Gilda lets out [[Fire-Breathing Diner|the usual cartoon flame breath]] from the prank lemon wafers set out.... which Pinkie Pie promptly uses to toast a marshmallow.
** Even better when you know she actually wasn't expecting it, but somehow still had the marshmallow ready.
* The beginning where Rainbow Dash keeps running... er, flying away from Pinkie Pie... who's calmly bouncing along, and [[The Cat Came Back|still manages to catch up with Dash]]. Doubles as a [[Shout
* 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|
'''Snails:''' Why is it they call it a flea market, when they don't really sell fleas? }}
** Also
{{quote|
'''[[The Ditz|Snails]]''': Uh huh huh huh, [[Sidetracked
* 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 114 ⟶ 113:
* Rainbow Dash losing her patience. "We've tried persuasion, charm... [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a2oiDTXFpS0 whatever it is Pinkie Pie does...]"
* Pinkie beat Rarity in 35 consecutive games of tic-tac-toe while waiting for Fluttershy. And then Rarity's response:
{{quote|
* Fluttershy literally being scared of her own shadow.
** Even funnier to [[
* 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's [[Adorkable]] realization that a pillow fight is [[Exactly What It Says
** Heck, Twilight's adorkableness all the way around this episode. Some of the better moments include:
*** "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|
* Applejack and Rarity telling their [[Mundane Ghost Story|"Ghost stories"]].
* Applejack and Rarity fighting over the spare bed. "Can't hear ya, I'm asleep! *feigns snoring*"
* 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 142 ⟶ 141:
* The sheer fact that Applejack is more afraid of Zecora than her kid sister Apple Bloom is, to the point that it's Applejack who shivers with fright and clings to Apple Bloom during Pinkie's "Evil Enchantress" song.
* Also of note is when Apple Bloom disobeys her "little" sister, and leaves her on a tree branch in the Everfree Forest. Applejack, one of the most responsible and grown-up ponies, is reduced to throwing a hissy fit.
{{quote|
* Spike's nicknames for the girls, culminating with his annoyance with being unable to come up with one for Twilight. Then after they head out to catch up with Apple Bloom, [[Comeback Tomorrow|he comes up with "Twilight Flopple"]].
** Plus, "Appletini." So now she has [[Parental Bonus|two names based on alcoholic drinks]].
* Twilight Sparkle herself. Her horn has gone limp and...um...floppy. [[Does This Remind You of Anything?|You get the distinct impression she should be wearing a pair of underwear on her head.]]
* After a shrunken Applejack leaves to follow Apple Bloom, Twilight notices Applejack missing and expresses worry that somepony might have sat on her. This leads to a hilarious scene where the girls spend several seconds trying to look at their own butts. Then Pinkie Pie tries looking in Rarity's hair:
{{quote|
'''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|
'''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 161 ⟶ 160:
* From the same episode, Pinkie Pie's dramatic "I'll save you!" entrance as Rarity's store is being ravaged. You think she's there to have a [[Big Damn Heroes]] moment, but then, she trots past her, grabs a flute, tests it and and runs away. Rarity's [[The Scream|reaction]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TwJ3gghVtVs was priceless], and the fact that it switches to another scene mid-scream is just wondrously timed.
* Or Applejack, Big Macintosh, and Granny Smith set to defend the orchard - and then the parasprites go and eat the barn.
{{quote|
* The highlight's got to be poor, beleaguered Twilight Sparkle surveying the devastation... and finally (briefly) snapping and giving orders to the fleeing ponies.
{{quote|
* Pinkie Pie's backwards running while trying to talk to the ponies rounding up the parasprites.
* Rainbow Dash's [http://images1.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20110820215111/mlp/images/3/34/Rainbow_Dash_parasprite_bikini_S1E10.png parasprite bikini].
* 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|
'''Rarity:''' Oh, Spike! It's not so bad. Uh... Maybe the birds can use it as a-
'''Spike:''' An outhouse? }}
** 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''': [[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|
'''Spike:''' Yes, it... does... What?
'''Pinkie:''' And I like fudge! But when I eat too much fudge I get a pudge and then I can't budge!
'''Spike:''' So... no fudge?
'''Pinkie:''' Oh, no thanks! I had a big breakfast. }}
** Pinkie and Spike as sports commentators is guaranteed funny.
{{quote|
* Applejack and Rainbow Dash's feuding eventually degenerating into a [[Big Ball of Violence]].
* After the [[Road Sign Reversal]], watch Rainbow Dash's face as she says "I'm SURE to win now!" to Twilight. You'll probably laugh.
* How Rainbow Dash is able to beat Applejack at tug-o-war. She flies over the mud, then ''lifts Applejack into the air''. Applejack realizes Dash is cheating, and...
{{quote|
'''Rainbow Dash:''' *muffled* Huh?
'''Applejack:''' *muffled* Yer CHEATIN'!
'''Rainbow Dash:''' *muffled* I can't understand you with that rope in your mouth.
'''Applejack:''' *lets go of the rope* I SAID......[[Oh Crap|uh-oh.]] [[Gravity Is a Harsh Mistress|*falls into the mud*]] }}
* "Get it....''eye muscles?''"
* 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?"

'''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
* 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

** And when Twilight learns "the hydra wasn't 'the doozy'", she gets [[High
* At the very end of the episode, Spike is about to send off Twilight's letter to Princess Celestia when [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tawDboVaRvI CELESTIA] [[Memetic Mutation|OUT OF FUCKING NOWHERE!]]
{{quote|
** 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|
'''Fluttershy:''' ...Too loud? }}
** Seriously, ''every'' attempt at fangirling for Rainbow Dash is [[Adorkable]] [[Up to Eleven]].
{{quote|
** Made all the better with her reaction at the actual show, {{spoiler|when Dash manages to pull off the Sonic Rainboom, and [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|Fluttershy cheers loudly]] while Dash's other friends are dumbstruck.}}
* 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|
==== 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|
'''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 279 ⟶ 277:
* It's both [[Crowning Moment of Awesome|awesome]] and hilarious when Fluttershy confronts the cockatrice and scolds it like it was a mischievous schoolboy, threatening to ''tell its mother'' if it didn't turn both Fluttershy's chicken and Twilight Sparkle back to normal.
* Scootaloo and Apple Bloom discussing chicken-calling techniques:
{{quote|
'''Scootaloo:''' Am not!
'''Apple Bloom:''' Oh, wait, now I know how to call a chicken! Scootaloo! Scoot-scootalooooo! }}
* Fluttershy realizing what she's got herself into by having the crusaders at her cottage.
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.
* During the montage of the Crusaders gathering supplies for their act:

* Scootaloo repeatedly [[Head Desk|Head Pianoing]] when she has trouble coming up with a song.
* "You're not using power tools, are ya?"

* Earlier, Rarity's fan-girl freakout when Sapphire Shores (the Pony of Pop) comes to commission some new outfits.

* 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.
{{quote|
'''Twilight:''' "And just ''what'' do you think you're doing?"
'''Spike:''' "Please, Twilight. Just give me ''this.''"
'''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.
* Spike confessing his "secret" crush on Rarity to Twilight and Pinkie Pie. Twilight's reaction is priceless, as is Pinkie Pie's. [[Offscreen Reality Warp|He's then inexplicably wearing a T-shirt with a picture of Rarity in a heart on it]].

'''Pinkie Pie''': Cross my heart and hope to fly, stick a cupcake in my eye! *sticks a hoof in her eye* }}
* Twilight accidentally [[Eye Scream|sticking her hoof in her open eye]] while reciting the Pinkie Pie Swear.
Line 350 ⟶ 348:
** ZE MAGICS!
* Struggling hard to keep from divulging either pony's secret, Twilight stuffs the entire contents of a fruit bowl into her mouth. It's a funny visual on its own, but what pushes it from "amusing" to "hilarious" is the way she glances around the room in a ''very'' forced attempt at casualness afterward, while the other two ponies spare her no more than a half-second's befuddled pause before continuing their conversation.
* The "secrets known to Twilight" dam finally bursting: "{{spoiler|[[The Not
==== Over a Barrel ====
* Braeburn's lightning tour of Appleloosa.

''(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.
{{quote|
"Aw, we just switched!" }}
* From the same scene:
{{quote|
* Applejack reading a bedtime story to an apple tree, and getting defensive when she thinks Rarity called Bloomberg (said tree) a baby.
* The chat in the sleeping carriage, especially when [[It Makes Sense in Context|Fluttershy claims she'd like to be a tree.]]
{{quote|
'''Pinkie Pie:''' No, are you asleep yet?
'''Rainbow Dash:''' If I was sleeping, how could I have asked you if you were asleep? }}
* Rainbow Dash plowing headlong into a signpost while trying to chase down Little Strongheart.
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?!"
* Twilight giving Philomena some "tough love":
{{quote|
'''Fluttershy:''' She can't fly...
'''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 398 ⟶ 396:
* Twilight dancing around in a circle going "Yesyesyesyesyesyes" at the end of her Cutie Mark story, and her subsequent reaction to everypony staring at her.
* Young Rarity's deadpan expression when her horn drags her for hours on end to what she can only assume to be her destiny, and her reaction when she finds what it's led her to...
{{quote|
* Young Spike's utterly unfazed look when suddenly aged from a newly-hatched infant to a massive adult dragon and then back to an infant again, [[Squee|and then he starts sucking on his tail.]]
* Hey, you know Applejack? The rough-and-tumble close-to-earth cowpony? Compare that to the "little lady" seen in the episode and you're sure to get a chuckle or two.
Line 404 ⟶ 402:
** And then her parents' surprisingly enthusiastic approval of accepting the apprenticeship, despite being plants not 20 seconds ago. Or maybe not so surprising...
* Scootaloo's reaction to the [[Group Hug]], followed by:
{{quote|
'''Scootaloo:''' '''[[Big No|NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!]]''' }}
* The [[Gilligan Cut|abrupt cut]] to Twilight telling her story, with no explanation of how the CMC got roped into hearing it.
* Also, Scootaloo's [[Comically Missing the Point|reaction]] to Rarity's Cutie Mark story, after having to listen to Fluttershy and Applejack's stories:

* When Spike tries to get some new quills for Twilight, he first tries to buy one...
{{quote|
'''Storekeeper:''' Sorry, junior, we're all outta quills until Monday... you need a sofa? }}
** Then he tries to borrow one from [[Cloudcuckoolander|Pinkie Pie]], who manages to find a quince, a quail, a quilt, a quesadilla, and a quiche, but is fresh out of quills. Bonus points for (mis)pronouncing all of them with the same initial "kw" sound.
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 439 ⟶ 437:
* When Pinkie starts interrogating Spike, forcing him to confess. Spike, not understanding what's going on, begins to confess to random things, such as using up all the hot water to take a seven-hour long bath and that he likes to flex in front of a mirror. This ends up making Pinkie even angrier.
** And the last one he confesses to:
{{quote|
** Spike ruining Pinkie's [[Corner of Woe]] moment.
** Can't believe no one else noticed it, but right after Spike reveals what he does in the mirror, Pinkie has a look on her face that pretty much says "Yeah... I didn't need to know that".
* Pinkie going over the edge, and trying to hold her "after-birthday party" for Gummy with inanimate objects (a bucket of turnips, a stack of rocks, etc.) as the guests.
** Then Rainbow Dash shows up, and ends up arguing with the stack of rocks until she realizes what she's doing.
{{quote|
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Who are ''you'' calling a chump, chump?! ''(some rocks fall)'' *sigh* That's it, party's over. }}
*** The best part is how the voice she does for "[[Rocky (

** 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.

==== 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 (

'''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|
'''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.
{{quote|
'''Rarity''': "Yes, ''one'' certainly would."
'''Blueblood''': "One's coat should take care of that."
'''Rarity''': "Oh, of course it will."
'''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.''
** A little early on, when she scares off the animals the first time, Fluttershy comments on being a [[Ironic Echo|loud mouth]].
** Fluttershy tries to trap one of the animals with a carrot and a box and ends up catching the garden's caretaker.
{{quote|
'''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|
''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!!!]]'''''

* 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?]

'''Everyone except Spike''': YEAH! WOOHOO! }}
** And before any of this:
{{quote|
** I'm going to take a book...and ''READ IT!'' Sorry, couldn't resist.
* Really, the entire scene in and around the library is one long CMOF. Twilight's reactions to being the [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Pony]] and rapidly reaching the end of her tether are always worth a giggle (see also: "Bridle Gossip", "Swarm of the Century" and "Feeling Pinkie Keen", among others). [[Tara Strong]] always comes through with beautiful snark.
Line 562 ⟶ 556:
** '''LOOK OUT! HERE COMES TOM!''' *giant boulder crashes through window and nearly crushes Pinkie Pie*

** And notice that the glass filled from the top down.

** Apparently, [[Your Mileage May Vary
* Ballet dancing buffalo wearing onesies. That is all.

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]].
*** "Weird, didn't we just get quills and ink last week?"
** Twilight making a mess trying to even out the frosting on the cupcakes she ordered from Sugar Cube Corner. There's hardly any frosting left on them by the time she's done.
** Her crazyfaces, which manage to be amusing and [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
** Her raspy, annoyed [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=73KBozIDcbo groan] as she teleports away from the picnic.
** Her attempt at psychoanalyzing Rainbow Dash when she thinks Rainbow is angry at Applejack for some reason. Twilight puts her mane in a [[Prim and Proper Bun]], and makes Rainbow lie on a bench and talk about her "issues".
Line 608 ⟶ 602:
** The reveal of the Mayor fighting Derpy Hooves after Princess Celestia arrives to put a stop to all the fighting.
** Not to mention the Cutie Mark Crusaders' initial reactions to the doll. They had ''[[Big Ball of Violence|literally come to blows]]'' over who would have to play with it <ref>and, perhaps incidentally, remain within reach of the visibly deranged mare offering it to them</ref> when Twilight cast that spell.
{{quote|
*** The very first time Sweetie Belle lies about said mane. The way she uncertainly fumbles over the last word is priceless.
*** Just as funny is when she [[Ironic Echo|excitedly squeals the same line]] while she is entranced by the doll.
Line 616 ⟶ 610:
* Rarity is in full [[Large Ham|HAM]] mode in this episode. It is glorious. "The worst...''possible''...''THING''!!"

** And her pulling a [[Hypocritical Humor]] by calling Twilight a "Drama Queen".
* [[Awesome Moment|Fluttershy beating the crap out of a bear]] {{spoiler|in order to help it relieve some tension it's having in the shoulder}}.
* 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|
* 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|
* Everything Luna does that is not a slight [[Tear Jerker]] is this.
** After telling Twilight that she recalled who purged her of her Dark Power (complete with hovering, gathering storm-clouds, wind, and the usual bellowing).
{{quote|
** ''"THIS IS THE TRADITIONAL ROYAL CANTERLOT VOICE! IT IS TRADITION TO SPEAK USING THE [[Royal We|ROYAL 'WE']] AND TO USE '''THIS MUCH VOLUME WHEN ADDRESSING OUR SUBJECTS!!!"'''''

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 657 ⟶ 651:
** Not to mention the assorted farm animals from Fluttershy's cottage when Twilight goes to drag her out.
** Fluttershy being forced to give Luna a lesson on how to speak softly and sweetly.
{{quote|
'''Fluttershy''' '''(terrified)''': Okay...
'''Luna:''' SHALL OUR LESSONS BEGIN?

'''Fluttershy:''' Perfect-lesson-over. [Flees back into her house, only to have Twilight close the door and have her smack into it.] }}
** And then the scene ends with Luna giving Fluttershy a big hug... and [[Not What It Looks Like|Fluttershy, as well as Pinkie and the group of kids with her, going into shock.]]
* The Mayor trying to act all spooky, while being dressed as a clown.
{{quote|
* Twilight proudly exclaiming that in order to help Luna, she's going to do what she does best: ''[[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?|"Lecture her!"]]''
* When the foals were crying after Luna cancelled Nightmare Night, one of the fillies (the one dressed like a princess) stating she wanted to be a zombie next year. It's as funny as it is [[Tear Jerker|sad.]]
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'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|
'''Rarity:''' L-Let me guess...applesauce?
'''Sweetie Belle:''' Nope. [[Epic Fail|Toast!]] }}
* Sweetie Belle's huge pile of luggage. "Just a few necessities..."
Line 685 ⟶ 679:
** Particularly as some of her expressions are reminiscent of Twilight's breakdown in "Lesson Zero," making you wonder the first time you see the episode just how far this is going to go.
* Much of Applejack and Apple Bloom's interaction, when it isn't a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]].
{{quote|
'''Applejack:''' It means uncivilized, y'know, bad-mannered?
'''Apple Bloom:''' *belches*
'''Applejack:''' Exactly! }}
* The argument over who should be sisters, ending with a confused Apple Bloom asking Applejack "We're still sisters, right?"
Line 694 ⟶ 688:
* Granny Smith interacting with a megaphone.
* Rarity's line after the race is as sweet as it is hilarious.
{{quote|
* Everyone assuming Rarity's joking about going to the spa.
* Lampshading the [[Furry Confusion]] regarding herding sheep. "You could've just asked."
* After Rarity offers to be a better sister by showing Sweetie Belle how to cook her favorite foods or clean her mane:
{{quote|
'''Rarity:''' Uh...yes? }}
** The awkward sound effect on Rarity's nod really sells it.
* 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 711 ⟶ 705:
* Pinkie Pie's [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|anguished confession]] about how many corncakes she ate the other day when Applejack presses for somepony to tell the truth. And when that doesn't work, Pinkie lets out a hysterical cry of "Make it stop!"
* Apple Bloom's short wait after learning her lesson of "Good things come to those who wait".
{{quote|
* 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.
{{quote|
* Big Macintosh stepping in to kick Granny Smith's leg to get rid of a cramp like this happens all the time.
** Also doubles as a pun, since Granny Smith uses the phrase "charlie horse", a synonym for a cramp.
* Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon's faces as Apple Bloom gets more attention and rubs it in their face, ''especially'' Diamond Tiara.
{{quote|
'''Diamond Tiara:''' ''(Growling.)'' }}
* The Flower Trio panicking as usual.
Line 725 ⟶ 719:

==== May the Best Pet Win ====
* Gummy clinging to Pinkie Pie's head like a suckerfish.
** Or a [[Futurama|brain slug]].
Line 735 ⟶ 729:
* Rainbow Dash's drill sergeant routine when prepping her potential pets for the games. "You call that flapping?!"
* Rainbow Dash's list of qualities she's looking for in a pet include "coolness, awesomeness, and radicalness."
{{quote|
'''Rainbow Dash:''' You ''would'' think that, Twilight, and that's why ''you'' would never qualify to be my pet. }}
* All of the talents that the animals perform, such as the duck tap-dancing, the eagle knitting, the falcon doing card tricks, the wasp doing shadow puppets, and the bat performing [[Theme Tune Cameo|a snippet of the theme song]] on water glasses.
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|
'''Rainbow Dash''': [[Gesundheit]]. }}
* Fluttershy shoving Twilight away from the binoculars she just conjured up.
* Throughout the entire episode, Fluttershy corrects everyone whenever they call Tank the tortoise a turtle. Near the end, we get this gem:
{{quote|
'''Everyone Else''': Tortoise.
'''Fluttershy''': [[Hypocritical Humor|Whatever]]. }}
==== The Mysterious Mare Do Well ====
* This exchange when Twilight notices Rainbow Dash show-boating:
{{quote|
'''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.
* Pinkie Pie mistaking Spike's title as a "ghost writer" as meaning he's actually a ghost.
** And the [[YouTube]] comments haven't missed this:

** Even better, the complete lack of reaction from everypony else after Pinkie freaking out and running away. They're so accustomed to her antics that it wasn't even worth commenting on.
* 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!''
* Pinkie Pie's words of wisdom near the end:
{{quote|
'''Applejack:''' I think we're gettin' off-topic here. }}
** Which she does next episode.
* Just the way that Ponyville has ''suddenly'' acquired [[Everything Trying to Kill You|the kind of areas (massive hills and sheer drops down cliffs?) and bad luck to have a number of accidents.]]
** Rainbow Dash [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades this]] when she notes that there's usually some kind of rogue vehicle careening down a certain hill.
* [[All There in
** And speaking of that scene, just the way Rainbow looks as if opening a jar of peanut butter is going to be one of the most epic things she's ever done! The music build up and her cracking her neck make the scene more epic, until...
* Spike writes down every word that Rainbow Dash says, and we mean ''every word'':
{{quote|
'''Spike:''' (Writing on notepad) "Don't you, Spike." }}
* After Rainbow flies off the handle at Spike writing down that she's jealous (much to the amusement of the other element bearers), she's standing there looking a bit sheepish as Spike writes down , "Correction: Rainbow Dash is ''very'' jealous."
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.
** [[Look Behind You!|"Is that Princess Celestia?"]]
** "What croquet mallet?"
*** Particularly since she's holding it in her mouth and can barely talk intelligibly.
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 803 ⟶ 797:
* Rarity's [[Spit Take]] into Jet Set and Upper Crust's faces.
* When Rarity's friends find out that she's been hopping between the two parties, [[Hope Spot|they are totally cool with Rarity hanging out with the posh ponies]]... and then Rainbow Dash decides that the Mane Cast should [[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?|crash the party and show the Canterlot elite what fun is]] ''[[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?|really]]'' [[What Could Possibly Go Wrong?|about.]] Rarity's reaction sells it.
{{quote|
** Applejack's ''literal'' take on a garden party.
{{quote|
* 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 831 ⟶ 825:
** Following Spike's growth spurt, Applejack dragging a shell-shocked Pinkie Pie out of the ruined bakery by her tail.
** What really sells it is that [[OOC Is Serious Business|Pinkie is]] ''[[OOC Is Serious Business|completely serious]]'' [[OOC Is Serious Business|the entire time]].
* When Twilight keeps teleporting Spike over to her so she can wipe his cheek (the sequence itself is funny enough, evoking a bit of ''[[Portal (
* Spike stole not only Sweet Apple Acres' apples, but their ''leaves''. Applejack [[Lampshade Hanging|lampshades]] this.
** AJ's deadpan response (complete with [[Badass Mustache|leaf mustache]]!) after laughing at the idea of ''Spike'' being the thief sells it.
{{quote|
* Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy's [[Good Cop, Bad Cop]] routine.
{{quote|
'''Fluttershy:''' If you wouldn't mind, that is...
'''Rainbow Dash:''' I mean it, dragon-boy!
'''Fluttershy:''' We'd be ever so grateful if you would be so kind as to possibly consider...
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Drop her, scaly! }}
* 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 854 ⟶ 848:
** Especially his [[Family Guy|Doctor Hartman-esque]] moment where he diagnoses Spike's problem as "[[Captain Obvious|He's a dragon!]]"
* Rarity's mane after Spike roars in her face and her subsequent reaction to it.
{{quote|
* After Rarity's heartwarming moment where she comforts Spike on the bridge, it pans back...and the other members of the Mane Cast are just standing at the end of the bridge awkwardly.
* A split second before Spike and Rarity start to fall, and after Rarity exclaims about him being the rampaging dragon, Spike gives this little "Whoops?" look.
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
* 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 885 ⟶ 879:
** Apple Bloom's panicked "no, no, no, anything but that" look when Granny Smith is mentioned.
* The first encounter in this episode between Granny Smith and Filthy Rich gave us this:
{{quote|
'''Filthy Rich''': Ehm, I prefer "Rich". }}
** Cheerilee has a similar line earlier on, but like always she sounds so [[Exactly What It Says
* 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.
{{quote|
'''Pinkie:''' You're telling me. }}
* The whole stand-up routine was hilarious for reasons completely apart from the jokes being told. Aside from the points already mentioned:
Line 919 ⟶ 913:
** When her jokes fail to entertain, not only do we hear (faintly) the usual chirping crickets, someone in the nonexistent audience also coughs.
* When Pumpkin was chewing on her toys:
{{quote|
'''Pinkie Pie:''' "No no no, Pumpkin!"
'''Pumpkin:''' (sticks another toy in her mouth) "Nom nom!"
'''Pinkie:''' "No, no!"
'''Pumpkin:''' (sticks ''another'' toy in her mouth) "Nom!"
'''Pinkie:''' "'''''NO!'''''" }}
* The Cakes' expressions when they return home at night. Mrs. Cake is cringing as though she expects to find her children glued to the wall.
{{quote|
==== 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.
** Chancellor Puddinghead wanting to name the new land they've found ''Dirtville''.
{{quote|
'''Smart Cookie:''' ...How about "Earth"?
'''[beat]'''
'''Chancellor Puddinghead:''' Earth! }}
** "Hold on to your hooves! I am just about to be ''brilliant!''"
Line 943 ⟶ 937:
** The unicorn and pegasus leaders are announced with horns at the summit. Chancellor Puddinghead is announced with kazoos.
*** Also, this line, combined with her facial expressions, is hilarious.
{{quote|
* Applejack as Puddinghead's secretary Smart Cookie has tons of wonderfully [[Deadpan Snarker|snarky comments]] throughout the episode.
* When Twilight has to use her magic to pull a frightened Fluttershy out of a box, Pinkie tries to help by ''pulling on Twilight's head'', causing her to scream just like in ''The Ticket Master''.
{{quote|
* 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
* 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 954 ⟶ 948:
* Rarity complaining that the breeze coming in through the open window is messing up her hair once is pretty funny. Her complaining a second time, annoyed that nopony seems to have heard her, is hilarious.
* Spike as the narrator has his moments, most notably the [[Get On With It Already]] pony in the audience that interrupts him at one point.
{{quote|
* Derpy waving out from behind the curtain and then being pulled back and given what looks like a "Go sit in the corner" look and point.
* Seeing Fluttershy in ''full body warrior armor'' had this troper laughing all the way.
Line 965 ⟶ 959:
** Then there's the big dramatic "STO-OOP!" when Princess Platinum comes to the stream, which is initially shown close up to look big and threatening river, only to cut to a shot of Princess Platinum actually by the stream, which is rather...weak looking.
* There's always this bit of dialog:
{{quote|
'''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.
* The whole scene with Derpy Hooves. She can't seem to do anything without causing damage. And that includes just [[Taking You
** Special mention goes to the face she makes after she electrocutes herself.
** Also worth mentioning is the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=geTCP666Yf4 Brony reaction] to Derpy.
{{quote|
[[Beat]]
'''Commenters:''' [[Understatement|And there was much rejoicing.]] }}
** This also involves a [[Hilarious in Hindsight]] meta example, as it turned out [[Tabitha St. Germain]] gave Derpy a male voice.
* Pinkie Pie's epic freakout after she thinks Applejack went back on her Pinkie Pie promise.
* Pinkie Pie being the "big guns" necessary to get Applejack to spill why she won't come back to Ponyville because of her incessant, random chattering.
Line 986 ⟶ 979:
* Pinkie Pie getting kicked off the cherry tree by Applejack. Makes one wonder (after the laughs) how and why she went up there to begin with...
* Rarity's annoyed expression when she and Pinkie Pie are left behind and forced to head back to Ponyville on their own on a hand cart. Oh, and Pinkie has started rambling again.
{{quote|
'''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
* The mailstallion thinking Applejack's surprise party is for him because it happens to be his birthday. Also could count as an amazing [[Shout
** 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 998 ⟶ 991:
* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here|"Lady, you're trouble!"]]
* Pinkie Pie has a cute and funny line as the train's leaving.
{{quote|
* It's not easy to spot, but after making it past the Friendship Express, Applejack looks back and dares the others to catch her. There's a shot of Twilight on the cart with an expression on her face that just screams "Hello? Pegasi pulling a cart! A train won't stop us!"
** This is made even better by Applejack's lines.
{{quote|
(Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash hop over the train)
'''Applejack:''' Aw, nuts! }}
==== The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000 ====
* Applejack's letter to Princess Celestia at the end.
{{quote|
{{spoiler|''[cut to goofy country music and a wide-eyed Applejack happily bouncing a mug of cider on her head.]''}} }}
* Rainbow Dash's attempts at drinking some cider ending in failure, {{spoiler|until the end.}}
{{quote|
** After the Apple Family cider runs out again, she pops up from ''way'' in the distance to yell about it.
* Fluttershy is abruptly woken up by Rainbow Dash at the beginning of the episode and has her blanket torn off of her. She quickly covers herself and blushes in response, even though she realistically has no reason to do so.
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|
'''Rarity:''' Lovely, horrid, horrid, lovely... }}
* The pony Flim goes to when singing about "ponies with thirsty throats, dry tongues, and not a drop of cider to be found?" The one who looks absolutely horrified? [[Alternate Character Interpretation|Berry]] [[The Alcoholic|Punch.]]
Line 1,025 ⟶ 1,018:
* Flim and Flam suddenly appearing in the Apple family's [[Huddle Shot]].
* Fluttershy on Pinkie's bed mane in the cold open.
{{quote|
* [http://img832.imageshack.us/img832/4351/011977.jpg "I can't believe-able!"]
** Made funnier when you realize "unbelievable" and "I can't believe-able" are basically the same thing. Flim had repeated what Flam said when that bit started in a sense.
* 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 1,036 ⟶ 1,029:
** This is mirrored later on with the hospital ponies: the doctor, two nurse ponies (one of whom even makes a pawing motion like a cat!), and... a filly trainee nurse.
* 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 ''[[
** Which is quite possibly a [[Shout
* 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
* Rainbow's put on eating habits upset even Pinkie Pie... and [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* 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 1,050 ⟶ 1,043:
* The argument over [[Insistent Terminology|whether it's a "ruckus" or a "fracas"]].
* This bit:
{{quote|
'''Spike:''' Yeah, just look at me! [''kisses his bicep'']
[''The other two give him blank looks. He goes back to sweeping.''] }}
* A spider in the book shouting "Burglar!", because a [[Fridge Horror|pony with a shaven head]] thinks Dash is trying to steal his slippers.
{{quote|
* The Boredom Montage where Rainbow tries and fails to find something to do takes about a minute. Then the clock hand moves forward by only a minute.
* Pinkie Pie getting distracted trying to figure out what her head is shaped the most like.
* "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:

'''Scootaloo:''' His girlfriend sure thinks so. }}
* Sweetie Belle jumping out of a bush and screaming a frustrated [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=64Dhz52pmWs&feature=fvwrel "OH COME ON!"]
Line 1,068 ⟶ 1,061:
** And, later on, her jumping out of the same bush and screaming an ecstatic "YES!" that is eerily reminiscent of her sister.
* Sweetie Belle, full stop, this episode. Her "innocent" pushing Big Mac and Cheerilee is adorably hilarious, especially in the scene where the CMC are trying to get them to drink their love concoction:
{{quote|
[[Beat]]
'''Sweetie Belle:''' So, uh, we'll just leave you two alone. Together. To test it. }}
* The way that Cheerilee and Big Mac call each other pet names, and the CMCs' disgusted reaction to it.
Line 1,080 ⟶ 1,073:
* The split-second reaction Cheerilee has when the CMC express their disbelief that she doesn't have a special somepony. You can tell she's just thinking, "Yes, thank you so much for reminding me again that I'm single."
* Cheerilee and Big Mac's confusion upon snapping out of their love-induced haze:
{{quote|
'''Big Macintosh:''' "Eeyup."
'''Cheerilee:''' "Are you sitting on a feather bed in a hole in the ground?"
'''Big Macintosh:''' "Eeyup."
'''Cheerilee:''' "Girls! Can you explain why I look like I'm getting married at the bottom of a pit?" }}
* The awkward scenes (especially the first one) of Big Mac and Cheerilee getting left alone by the CMC.
{{quote|
'''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|
** 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|
* 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.''
*** Not to mention through the CMC. In ''slow-mo'', no less.
* The CMC making a holiday greetings card for Cheerilee, adding more and more decorations to it until we finally get to see just how huge it is, at which point Sweetie Belle sticks its tip into an average envelope. [[Beat|Then they all stare at it for a moment.]]
{{quote|
* Anytime somepony emulates Cheerilee and Big Mac's nicknames for each other. The CMC in particular have to almost force it out.
{{quote|
'''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
* Apple Bloom's [[Late to
{{quote|
* 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.
* Sweetie Belle popping out of the nearby bush.
{{quote|
** And again later in triumph.
{{quote|
* All the stallions listed in the song, making you wonder if the reason there are so few males in Ponyville is because they're all so weird!
** Judging by what we've seen about the mares that's the pot calling the kettle black if I ever heard one.
* All of the CMCs' "I'm going to be sick" faces during Miss Cheerilee's and Big Mac's [[Sickeningly Sweethearts]] moments.
* When Apple Bloom is trying to keep Big Mac busy so he doesn't see Cheerilee...
{{quote|
* This troper thought that Cherrilee's snark moment was hilarious simply because of the stark contrast with her usual character.
{{quote|
* 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.
** And actually including "Sing a random song out of nowhere" on her checklist of making friends.
* Pinkie jumping up and down on a "spider" that turns out to be Cranky's toupee. Once she realizes this, she shouts out to the entire town about needing a replacement, from on top of a flagpole, through a ''megaphone''. She makes sure to stress that Cranky is really ''really bald'', and that this is [[Serious Business]].
{{quote|
** Which has caused a lot of people to [[Memetic Mutation|respond with]], [[
* ''All'' of Pinkie's 4th wall breaking and application of cartoon physics this episode. The best has to be her friendship rocket at the end of the episode.
* During "Smile, Smile, Smile," Pinkie goes into the schoolyard and finds the foals jumping rope. She starts doing it, gets Scootaloo and Dinky to join, and then pulls two others in as well. The thing is, the last two foals had been holding up the rope, and so all 5 are jumping rope with ''no one holding the handles.'' Screw gravity, she's Pinkie Pie all right.
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!
** When that fails, she then takes Pinkie's advice by using the [[Duck Season! Rabbit Season!]] gig, but she makes the switch too early, causing her to insist on paying ''more'' for it, with Rarity doing a [[Face Palm|Facehoof]] and Pinkie Pie burying her head in the ground in response to this.
* Iron Will's goat assistants behaving like real goats most of the time, including two blankly staring while one of them ''starts eating the other one's tie.''
** One of them also tries to eat Pinkie's tail.
Line 1,158 ⟶ 1,151:
* The entire queue's reaction when Fluttershy tells one pony to go to the back of the line.
* Fluttershy and Iron Will's demonstration.
{{quote|
'''Fluttershy''': Um, politely walk around him?
'''Iron Will''': No.
'''Fluttershy''': Gingerly tiptoe around him?
'''Iron Will''': No!
'''Fluttershy''': Go back home and try again tomorrow?!
'''Iron Will''': NO! When somepony tries to block, SHOW THEM THAT YOU ROOOOOCK! }}
* Pinkie Pie pulling several [[Duck Season! Rabbit Season!]] gambits throughout the episode.
** Like her argument with Iron Will:
{{quote|
'''Pinkie Pie''': A full day!
'''Iron Will''': Half day!
'''Pinkie Pie''': Full day!
'''Iron Will''': HALF DAY!
'''Pinkie Pie''': HALF DAY!
'''Iron Will''': FULL DAY!
'''Pinkie Pie''': (neck stretches up to Iron Will's face) WE NEED HALF A DAY, AND NO MORE!
'''Iron Will''': WELL YOU'LL GET A FULL DAY AND NO LESS!
'''Pinkie Pie''': Okie-dokie, see you tomorrow!
'''Iron Will''': Wait... }}
*** And at the end, Pinkie just walks away. [[Toon Physics|In midair.]]
Line 1,188 ⟶ 1,181:
* Iron Will gets around by STANDING on the back of a goat much smaller than himself. It looks just as ridiculous as it sounds, and nobody even bats an eye!
* Pinkie's flawless delivery in the following exchange reminds everyone why she's the Element of Laughter:
{{quote|
'''Pinkie Pie''': We did?
'''Rarity''': (''covers her mouth'') Shh! }}
* Iron Will announcing that he needs to do some groceries, so he'll allow Pinkie and Rarity time to "find" Fluttershy. He even pulls a comically tiny shopping basket (with ''flowers'' on it) from behind his back.
* Pinkie Pie's sassy pose when defending Rarity from New Fluttershy's angry rant.
{{quote|
** 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 1,202 ⟶ 1,195:
* One of the measures taken to prevent the disaster was to cut Pinkie's mane.
* When {{spoiler|Cerberus suddenly arrives in Ponyville...}}
{{quote|
* The threat of Ponyville being destroyed by Cerberus being prevented by {{spoiler|Fluttershy treating it like a real dog and giving it [http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/d16b81973222c8d914ad2221a2843da6/146765%20-%20animated%20cerberus%20fluttershy.gif a belly rub].}} It's a mix of this, CMoA, & CMoH.
** Before that, there's a shot of Cerberus nearly taking a piddle on one of the buildings.
Line 1,208 ⟶ 1,201:
* Spike and Rainbow Dash taking advantage of Twilight's resolve to not move for a week.
* Pinkie Pie's reaction when a potted plant falls on Twilight's head after her Pinkie sense acts up again:
{{quote|
** 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 1,215 ⟶ 1,208:
** Even better: Celestia basically PHOTOBOMBS her way into the episode; casually strolling along through a supposedly top-secret portion of the archives as if it was a part of her morning routine.
* Twilight panics after being unable to find the archives she's looking for...and then Pinkie Pie points out that they were ''standing in front of it the whole time''. Twi's reaction is priceless.
{{quote|
** Immediately before this, she stated that [[If My Calculations Are Correct]] then that was where the Starswirl wing would be.
*** Made better by Spike pointing out that this was ''where they came in''.
* 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 1,226 ⟶ 1,219:
* Spike's casual "Hey, Pinkie" as Twilight goes nuts around them.
* Twilight dramatically declaring that she's decided to "Monitor. ''Everything''."
{{quote|
* "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 1,236 ⟶ 1,229:
* Spike's attempts at joining in the other dragons' games.
* After Spike leaves for his trip, Rarity and Twilight have this little exchange:
{{quote|
'''Twilight''': Of course. }}
** And they all have huge smiles plastered on their faces.
Line 1,244 ⟶ 1,237:
** Fluttershy's irritated expression during this. Even a [[Shrinking Violet]] doesn't appreciate someone calling her interests boring.
* Although the three ponies standing up for Spike is a CMoH, Rarity's little speech is also hilarious.
{{quote|
** 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
* Fluttershy trying to get out of the big pegasus meeting by... disguising herself as a tree. [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* 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 1,259 ⟶ 1,252:
* That ridiculously muscular pegasus with the tiny wings; He only had a few scenes, but he made the most of them with a [[Big Yes|big]] '''[[Big Yes|YEAAAAAAH!!!!]]'''
* The ponies asking Twilight what the anemometer does.
{{quote|
'''Twilight''': It measures your accelerative velocity and translates it into wingpower thus gauging your h2o anti-gravitational potential. Any other questions?
'''Flitter''': Yeah. ''(Turns to Spike)'' What exactly does this machine do?
'''Spike''': It tells you how fast you're flying and how strong your wings are.
'''Everypony''': Ohhh, ok. }}
* Fluttershy's training montage includes tug-of-war against a butterfly. Not simply because she has trouble at first, but by the end we get to see how far she's come. She can outtug a whole kaleidoscope of butterflies!
** 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 1,273 ⟶ 1,266:
* Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle's [[Are You Pondering What I'm Pondering?|ideas of how newspapers can get them cutie marks]].
* "The Cakes are breaking up!"
{{quote|
* Pinkie Pie acting like she's hit the breaking point at an intervention when Gabby Gums calls her obsessed with parties.
* Diamond Tiara says, "You're lucky I'm nice." [[Blatant Lies|Ha.]]
* Diamond Tiara's opinion on last year's school paper.
{{quote|
'''Ruby Pinch''': But Namby Pamby was a great editor! }}
* Rarity seeing her diary in the newspaper and [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ke62bMLmP_0 screaming] '''"I'LL ''DESTROY'' HER!"'''
* Rarity's sudden Julius Caesar reference:
{{quote|
* 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."
* Apparently, all somepony has to do in order to stop a unicorn's magic is to hit their horn, just like Sweetie Belle did to Rarity. It's basically the unicorn equivalent of smacking someone's hands to stop them from touching your stuff.
* Rarity giving in to her urge to snoop through Sweetie Belle's saddlebag by ''leaping'' on it while it hovers in midair.
{{quote|
[[Beat]]
'''Rarity''': Oh, but it's so much fun, Rarity! }}
* The picture of Celestia eating cake. What makes the scene is that she unusually holds the cake with her hoof, instead of using magic to levitate it.
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 look on Joe's face when Rarity says he'd look good in a tuxedo.
* The ponies shying away from the brilliant aura of light from the eclairs, which is revealed to be the griffon holding a floodlight behind them.
* When Twilight gathers everyone together for the summation:
{{quote|
'''Twilight:''' I bet you're wondering why you're all here again.
'''Pony Joe:''' She's ''good''. }}
* "Fine, I'm guilty! {{spoiler|I WEAR FALSE EYELASHES! Oh, and I took a bite of the cake.}}"
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 1,326 ⟶ 1,319:
* When Twilight is reading the letter from Canterlot, Pinkie Pie steps on a cake, leaving a visible footprint. Twilight then fixes the frosting while still reading with her magic, without looking.
* [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5enoTvMd-o Pinkie VS Changeling]
{{quote|
'''Pinkie Pie:''' Oh oh, do me! DO ME!
'''Changeling:''' ''(rolls its eyes and transforms into an adorably happy Pinkie Pie)''
'''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|
'''Cadence:''' *gasp*
'''Chrysalis:''' And I'm sorry to say, unable to perform his duties as Captain of the Royal Guard! *dramatic close-up*
'''Cadence:''' Not my Shining Armor! }}
* Any instance of Spike playing with the Shining Armor and Cadence figurines meant for the top of the cake. Bonus points when Pinkie Pie gets in on it, too.
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!"

** This moment where [http://vimeo.com/29635691 Rainbow Dash looks at the damage Megatron caused in the detention hall.] What makes it funny is that apparently, [[Transformers Prime|Megatron's]] blast through the wall {{spoiler|doesn't wake up one of the kids there}}, but as ''soon'' as Rainbow Dash enters the scene, {{spoiler|the kid suddenly wakes up}}.

* 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
