My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E11 Winter Wrap Up/YMMV

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • Accidental Broken Aesop: Although the real lesson of the episode is "Everyone has a talent to contribute to a group effort," since Twilight's skill is organization, and she happens to be a member of the aristocracy, it can read as "The peasantry cannot organize themselves and therefore need the nobility to drive them in the right direction."
    • Alternatively: Managers and organizers are the ones who were Kicked Upstairs because they can't do any of the real work.
  • Fridge Brilliance: Why was Twilight having such a tough time getting her saddle on in the Cold Open? She'd probably been using her magic to help her do stuff like that for years, and this was the first time she'd tried doing it without.
  • Ear Worm: Say it with us! Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!
  • Moe: Twilight actually displays more of it in this episode than any other... even more than Fluttershy. Her tearful look after Applejack scolds her...
  • The Woobie: Twilight, full stop. As funny as her Humiliation Conga may be throughout the episode, it doesn't take long to realize why it's a Tear Jerker for many.
