{{quote|'''Pinkie Pie:''' Tell me that my friends are all lying to me and avoiding me because they don't like my parties and ''THEY DON'T WANT TO BE MY FRIENDS ANYMORE!''
'''[[Literal -Minded|Spike]]:''' [[Exact Words|"Your friends are all lying to you and avoiding you because they don't like your parties and they don't want to be your friends anymore."]] }}
 
Pinkie is satisfied at seemingly having her suspicions confirmed, but immediately feels depressed and lonely upon thinking she's lost her friends, to the point where her poofy hair deflates and her color scheme becomes muted and dull.

----
=== Tropes ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E25 Party of One/YMMV|YMMV items can be found here]]). ===
 
* [[Actor Allusion]]: Madam LeFlour's French accent sounds [[Madeline|kinda familiar]]…
Line 51:
** Spike has no clue about what he's being interrogated for or about, nor does he get one at any point. Ironically, this means he ends up frustrating Pinkie Pie with the same kind of literal-minded, cluelessly irrelevant answers you'd expect from her in a similar situation.
* [[Companion Cube]]: Pinkie's 'new friends'.
* [[Continuity Nod]]: Pinkie's hair goes back to [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E23 The Cutie Mark Chronicles|the state it was before she discovered how to smile.]]
* [[Creepy Circus Music]]: Accompanies Pinkie Pie during her [[Sanity Slippage]], complete with cacophonous trumpet stings when she twitches.
* [[Dramatic Spotlight]]: Parodied. Pinkie Pie draws the (wrong) conclusion that her friends have all turned against her from her interrogation of Spike, and declares so in a Dramatic Spotlight. Then it turns out the light comes from the lamp she used to interrogate him with, as he turns it off.
Line 62:
* [[Funny Background Event]]: Gummy can be seen rolling around on a ball of string at one point while Pinkie is talking.
* [[Funny Schizophrenia]]: Pinkie Pie talking to her imaginary friends during her [[Sanity Slippage]].
* [[Got Me Doing It]]: Rainbow Dash briefly talks back to "Rocky" as if she's actually mad at "him", before she realizes what she is doing.
{{quote|'''"Rocky":''' You heard th' lady! She ain't goin' nowhere, chump!
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Who're you callin' a chump, ''chump''?! *''[[beat]]''* Ugh... That's it: party's over. }}
Line 71:
* [[Interrogated for Nothing]]: Spike honestly has no idea what Pinkie wants to know during his interrogation, so simply tells her what she wants to hear. Ironically, he might have known or guessed about the surprise party, so if she'd merely asked him what her friends were doing that afternoon, he might have been able to tell her, and avoid all of the [[Enhanced Interrogation Techniques|unpleasantness]].
* [[Ironic Echo]]: There are two occasions when Pinkie Pie is staring at Applejack and then stops after saying "Okey-dokey-lokey." The first time she says it happily and it signals a relief of the tension. The second, not so much.
* [[Kubrick Stare]]: Along with [[Wide Eyes and Shrunken Irises|slowly shrinking irises]].
* [[Letting the Air Out of the Band]]: Twilight rings the counter bell at Sugercube Corner while happy, carefree music plays. Then Twilight reminds both the music and Mrs. Cake that this pick-up is serious business.
* [[Literal -Minded]]: "Oh, Twilight, you shouldn't ''hit'' the books. You should really just read them."
* [[Locked Out of the Loop]]
* [[Minimalist Cast]]:Only the mane 6, Gummy, Spike and Mrs.Cake show up in this episode, with the last two only in one scene each. The first shot is the only time that background ponies appear.
