{{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!''

 

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.

 

----

 

* [[Actor Allusion]]: Madam LeFlour's French accent sounds [[Madeline|kinda familiar]]…

** 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'.

* [[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.

* [[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]].

{{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. }}

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[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.

* [[Reflective Eyes]]: A reflection of Applejack can be seen in Pinkie's eyes, when Pinkie tries to stare her down and see what's inside the barn.

* [[Sanity Slippage]]: Who would have thought a pink [[Genki Girl]] could be downright scary?

* [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud]]: When Applejack claims that there's lots of construction going on in the barn, Rainbow Dash stage-whispers, "You heard her! Construction!" Cue a lot of ponies attempting to vocalize the sounds of power tools, including Rainbow Dash saying "Drill, drill!" as well as Twilight saying [[Unsound Effect|"safety gear!"]]

* [[Screw This, I'm Outta Here]]: During his after-birthday party, Gummy turns away when he sees Pinkie Pie's inanimate guests. In the next shot of the whole table, he's gone.

* [[Stealth Pun]]: Gummy sneezes for no apparent reason after popping out of the top of the bale of ay Pinkie is wearing. {{spoiler|Presumably, it's a case of ''hayfever''.}}

* [[Stereo Fibbing]]: Even Rainbow Dash's and Fluttershy's ''body language'' reflects their [[Stereo Fibbing]]. Whoever says "Playing beach volleyball!" waves her front hooves above her head, while whoever says "Collecting seashells!" waggles them up and down at chest level. When their stories mutate into "Collecting volleyballs!" and "Playing seashells!", each pony waves one hoof above her head ''and'' waggles the other up and down by her side.

* [[That Poor Plant]]: At Gummy's birthday party, Rarity spits her punch into a plant after finding out Gummy has been swimming in it.

* [[There Are No Therapists]]
