=== Tropes ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/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 (Animation)/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 64:
* [[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!<br />
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Who're you callin' a chump, ''chump''?! *''[[Beat|beat]]''* Ugh... That's it: party's over. }}
* [[Hidden Depths]]: You wouldn't have believed that an episode of ''My Little Pony'' starring the silly party-crazy member could be so profound… [[Surreal Humor|and creepy]].
* [[I Have to Wash My Hair]]: Rarity's excuse. She even ''sinks her mane into garbage'' just to make it plausible.
Line 72:
* [[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 Thethe 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]]
Line 89:
* [[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.
* [[She Really Can Act]]: Who knew Andrea Libman had such great acting chops for Pinkie here?
* [[Shout -Out]]
** The episode title could be referring to ''[[Dinner for One (Theatre)|Dinner for One]]'', which also includes a scene with someone walking around a table and faking the voices of the absent guests.
** The pile of rocks is called "[[Rocky (Filmfilm)|Rocky]]", and Pinkie Pie voices him in the manner of a [[Sylvester Stallone]] impression.
* [[Spit Take]]: Rarity does one right at Pinkie Pie's face when seeing Gummy in the punch bowl; she doesn't seem to notice and/or care.
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: When Pinkie Pie's smiles are fake, you know something is very, very wrong.
