Line 9:
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Discord, for many fans and [[Too Funny to Be Evil|for]] [[Magnificent Bastard|obvious]] [[Laughably Evil|reasons]].
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: It only took a one minute preview and a certain voice actor to make Discord widely popular.
* [[Evil Is Cool]]: Discord has his fans for this reason and for being the first truly evil villain in the series.
* [[Faux Symbolism]]: After all her friends {{spoiler|have been corrupted by Discord}}, Twilight is shown carrying the massive rock Rarity insists is a giant diamond. It can be said that Twilight is quite literally and figuratively now shouldering the burden of the mission all by herself.
* [[Fridge Brilliance]]:
** If one takes Discord's hint how to find Elements of Harmony from other perspective (ie. ''you'' as viewers), you will find 0:00 of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 E1/E01 The Return of Harmony Part 1|first episode]], which happens to be cover of guide to Elements of Harmony. Where Twilight finds Elements of Harmony? [[Mind Screw|In the guide to them]].
** Fluttershy says she's weak and helpless. This makes sense when you realize that alone she ''is'' weak and helpless; see how she reacted to Gilda's bullying when on her own. Fluttershy's strength comes from her friends.
* [[Genius Bonus]]: Applejack staring to the left, after lying, isn't just a random joke. It's a real psychological reaction.
Line 23:
* [[Love to Hate]]: Discord. He's funny enough to like watching but the stuff he does to the mane cast is so cruel and terrible you ''will'' want to beat the tar out of him by the end of the episode.
** On the other hand, many fans love him because he is the first truly evil villain of the series...
* [[Magnificent Bastard]]: Discord. Outwits ''everyone'' with the greatest of ease, all the while ''relishing'' in his evil and having a blast.
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: Discord treads the line when he plays on Rainbow Dash's emotions by {{spoiler|showing her the '''[[Sugar Apocalypse|destruction of Cloudsdale]]'''. It might be an illusion, but considering he's responsible for the crazy candy weather earlier in the episode...}}
** This one is made even ''worse'' when you think about it. {{spoiler|By making Rainbow Dash abandon either her home or her friends to help the other, she's got ''no choice'' but to betray something she loves to save ''something else'' she loves. The others might have been able to avoid going against their Element Of Harmony but Discord gave Rainbow Dash no choice at all...}}
Line 31:
*** This fits with the fact that when Discord claps, each clap is a different sound effect.
* [[Nightmare Retardant]]: It may fit his personality well, but it can be hard to take Discord seriously, even in his worst moments, because of his appearance, which includes half a set of buck teeth and a pink tail, [[Mix-and-Match Critters|amongst many other things]].
** On the other hoof, it could also be a subversion, as you see what he looks like before you know what he ''acts'' like.
** The talking apples. It must be the bobbing.
* [[Paranoia Fuel]]: Discord knows ''way'' too much about the Mane Cast despite being imprisoned in stone for over 1000 years...
