Taking a walk through Ponyville, Twilight discovers her friends and neighbors hiding from Zecora, a mysterious zebra who lives in the Everfree Forest, visits town about once a month, and is rumored to be a witch. Twilight is skeptical, as is Applejack's kid sister Apple Bloom, who decides to tail Zecora and see if the rumors are true. Applejack and the rest chase her down before Apple Bloom gets herself in trouble, and confront Zecora at the edge of the Everfree Forest, near a patch of blue-flowered vines. Zecora cryptically warns them "Those leaves of blue are not a joke!", then retreats into the forest. The other ponies are convinced Zecora is trying to put a curse on them, but Twilight is equally convinced curses are nothing but superstition.

* [[Ad Break Double Take]]: "What if she's making Apple Bloom soup?" is repeated twice in a row.

* [[Arbitrary Skepticism]]: "Curses don't exist" said the magical talking unicorn to her talking horse friends and dragon assistant, in the land populated with dragons, gryphons, and manticores.

* [[Aside Comment]]: When Spike is coming up with nicknames for the cast after the "curse" takes effect, he comments to the audience that he can't really work with Twilight Sparkle's name.

* [[Blinding Bangs]]: Rarity suffers from this after her coat and mane grow ridiculously long.

* [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]]: An infamous animation error in the final shot makes it look like Pinkie Pie is staring at the camera. This was later incorporated deliberately.

** The racism undertones concerning Zecora.

* [[Glowing Eyes of Doom]]

* [[Incredible Shrinking Man|Incredible Shrinking Pony]]: Applejack becomes "Appletini" (Apple-Teeny), as Spike puts it.

* [[Magic Pants]]: Applejack's hat and rope shrink with her.

* [[The Nicknamer]]: Spike gives all of the mane ponies nicknames to fit their embarrassing conditions.

** [[Comeback Tomorrow|After the girls leave]], he manages to come up with "Twilight Flopple".

* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: Pinkie, when looking through Rarity's hair for "Appletini". Rarity even asks Pinkie if she's ever heard of personal space, to which she bluntly answers "nope!".

* [[Poor Communication Kills]]: If Zecora's warning had been a ''little'' less vague and cryptic, the whole ponies-thinking-you-cursed-them thing wouldn't have come up.

* [[Rearrange the Song]]: "Evil Enchantress", Flutterguy jazz club edition.

do not help her reputation of being a witch. }}

** Lampshaded by Applejack of all ponies:

* [[That Poor Cat]]: Heard when Rainbow Dash crashes into some bushes.

* [[The Unintelligible]]: Pinkie Pie, who gets a swollen (and spotted) tongue {{spoiler|after being exposed to the "poison joke" flower.}}

* [["The Villain Sucks" Song]]: Pinkie Pie's "Evil Enchantress" song.

* [[Vocal Dissonance]]: "[[Fan Nickname|Flutterguy]]", who, as seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rmGJJDL5EUA here], has easily the deepest voice yet seen on the show, being voiced by black Vietnam veteran [[Awesome McCoolname|Blu]] [http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0542558 Mankuma].

* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?|What do you mean, it's not haynous?]]:

'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Pinkie, I eat hay. ''You'' eat hay. }}

* [[Zombie Apocalypse]]: Discussed by Spike when he starts wondering why the town looks so deserted.
