My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1/E14 Suited for Success: Difference between revisions

 

----

 

* [[AcCENT Upon the Wrong SylLABle]]: "Rain''bow'' Dash" and "intimate de''tails''".

* [[Also Sprach Zarathustra]]: The opening of the song is used in Twilight Sparkle's introduction in the fashion show, complementing her starry-night dress.

* [[Busby Berkeley Number]]: Rarity's song has elements of this.

* [[Cat Up a Tree]]: The only thing the ponies could think of to get Rarity out of her house was to put Opalescence in a tree.

* [[Chekhov's Skill]]: Rarity forcing Fluttershy to tell her honest feelings about her dress sets up Fluttershy to have a surprising well of technical sewing knowledge that comes in handy later.

* [[Empathy Pet]]: Opal purrs and curvettes around the first dresses, but hisses and growls at the redesigns.

* [[Fashion Show]]:

** The first fashion show in this episode is a blatant parody. The amateurish dresses essentially designed by Rarity's friends may be ridiculous, but they look familiar enough in context of the stereotypical image of a fashion show.

** In the second show, Rarity gets to show her real designs to Hoity Toity at her boutique. Some effort is put into making it quite watchable without the earlier irony, with Rarity providing magical special effects to introduce each pony and her outfit.

* [[Hidden Depths]]: Fluttershy turns out to have a "freaky knowledge of sewing", as demonstrated when Rarity browbeats her into giving a critique of the dress Rarity designed:

{{quote| '''Fluttershy:''' All right, since you ''really'' want to know, [''[[Motor Mouth|deep breath]]''] the armscye's tight, the middy collar doesn't go with the shawl lapel, the hems are clearly ''machine'' stitched, the pleats are uneven, the fabric looks like toile, you used a backstitch here when it clearly called for a topstitch or maybe a traditional blanket stitch, and the overall design is reminiscent of ''prêt-à-porter'' and not true French ''haute couture''.<br />

'''Fluttershy:''' But...uh...you know...um...whatever you want to do is fine...<br />

'''Rarity:''' [''Stunned silence''] }}

* [[Madness Makeover]]: Rarity's mane becomes progressively messier the more stressed-out she gets.

* [[Nice Hat]]: In addition to Applejack's signature hat, Pinkie Pie's original dress comes with one. All five redesigns have [[Rummage Sale Reject|not-so-nice hats]] to match the [[Impossibly Tacky Clothes|dresses]].

* [[No Celebrities Were Harmed]]: Hoity Toity is an impression of Karl Lagerfeld, down to Lagerfelds signature fan as his cutie mark -- but with the voice of [[Project Runway|Tim Gunn]] and the snarkiness of [[Project Runway|Michael Kors.]]

* [[Parental Bonus]]: Rarity goes through a lot of the woes of the customer service person.

** The other ponies after realising what the hell they are wearing.

{{quote| '''Twilight:''' Oh dear...}}

** Possibly a Two Scene Wonder. The other scene that people seem to remember from this episode is the [[Twenty Percent More Awesome|"20% Cooler"]] line.

* [[Newspaper Comic Effects|Plewds]]: Rarity emits these (flying sweat drops from the head) when noticing Opalescence stranded in a tree.
