Line 32:
 
* [[Added Alliterative Appeal]]: "Pony Pet Play Date in the Park." Later, "Great galloping galoshes!" is uttered by Applejack.
** The 'appeal' part is averted though with -- [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall|pause for dramatic effect ]]-- ''Ghastly Gorge!'' '''[[Overly Long Gag|Dun dun dunnnnnn]]!!'''
* [[Adorkable]]: Fluttershy when she hears Dash wants a pet.
** And the Tortoise.
** And, for once, Rainbow Dash, in her prep-school outfit while posing with the owl.
* [[Affectionate Gesture to Thethe Head]]: Rainbow Dash condescendingly does this to Twilight Sparkle when the latter makes a comment that "cool", "awesome", and "radical" are all the same thing.
{{quote| '''Rainbow Dash:''' You ''would'' think that, Twilight. And that's why ''you'' [[Accidental Innuendo|would never qualify to be my pet]].}}
* [[Art Evolution]]: Applejack's freckles no longer disappear as she runs.<ref>this happened in Season 1 due to animators screwing up when they created AJ's standard run cycle.</ref>
Line 56:
'''Applejack:''' ''Exactly!'' }}
* [[Burning Rubber]]: Rainbow Dash does this at one point, leaving a trail of ''rainbow'' flames behind her.
* [[Call Back]]: "...[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E16 Sonic Rainboom|Yay]]?"
** Also all the pony pets besides Opal and Angel, as we haven't seen them in a while.
** In the starting dream sequence, Rainbow Dash's first reaction to Owlowiscious's hoot is "[[Who's Onon First?|Who?]]"
** At the beginning of the song, we see the mallards from ''Griffon the Brush Off''.
** One of the outfits Rainbow Dash wears in the "Style Competition" includes Rarity's scarf from ''Dragonshy''.
Line 82:
* [[Cool Shades]]: Rainbow Dash adopts these during her "radical" pose.
** [[Lampshade Hanging|Lampshaded]] by the turtle <ref> ahem, ''[[Running Gag|tortoise]]''</ref>, donning a pair when Rainbow Dash talks about needing a "cool pet".
* [[Continuity Nod]] This is not the first time Fluttershy's noticed [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E23 The Cutie Mark Chronicles|so many wonders]].
* [[Cute Kitten]]: The "puddy tat" Fluttershy nominates as a potential pet is [[Tastes Like Diabetes|ridiculously doe-eyed and adorable]]. Rainbow Dash isn't swayed by the [[Cuteness Proximity]] one bit.
* [[Dandere]]: Fluttershy goes from hoping Dash won't be mad at them and pawing the ground nervously to positively [[Squee|Squeeing]] when Dash suggests she's interested in getting a pet.
Line 99:
{{quote| {{spoiler|'''Rainbow Dash:''' But I said whoever crosses the finish line ''with'' me gets to be my pet.}}<br />
'''Pinkie Pie:''' You ''did''! You ''did'' say that! She ''did'' say that! That was the rule! }}
* [[Everything's Worse Withwith Bees|Everything's Worse With Wasps]]: Averted. Fluttershy offers a wasp as a ''pet'' and it acts relatively benign.
* [[Expy]]: The tortoise to the one from "The Tortoise and the Hare." Both were not expected to win, but put forth [[The Determinator|their best effort anyway]], and this tenacity<ref>[[Gesundheit]]</ref> [[Underdogs Never Lose|paid off in the end]].
** However, in a bit of a twist, the tortoise in this episode doesn't actually win the race himself, but comes out on top in a different way.
Line 120:
'''Twilight:''' Tenacity!<br />
'''Rainbow Dash:''' Gesundheit. }}
** Oddly taken literally when Rainbow Dash asks this of the eagle after the [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall]] bit, holding up a tissue.
* [[Graceful Loser]]: The falcon politely shakes {{spoiler|Tank's hand}} despite being obviously crushed by Rainbow Dash's [[Loophole Abuse]].
<!-- %%I do not see why this should be deleted. It is an example of the trope. -->
Line 127:
** [[Fridge Brilliance|Living with Twilight Sparkle has taught him]] that at any given moment Twilight can [[Super OCD|decide to prepare triple-redundant to-do lists]] or [[Once an Episode|dictate a letter to the Princess.]] [[Crazy Prepared|He's never been caught off-guard in this regard even once.]]
* [[The Hedge of Thorns]]: There is one in the Ghastly Gorge where the pets pass through.
* [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard|Hoist by Her Own Petard]]: Rainbow Dash's bragging while flying backwards causes the avalanche that traps her. [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E5 Griffon the Brush Off|You'd think Rainbow would have learned her]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E21 Over a Barrel|lesson about not watching where she's flying.]]
* [[The Hypnotoad]]: The butterfly uses his wings to hypnotize Opalescence and easily snags away her toy while she's entranced.
* [[Hypocritical Humor]]:
Line 150:
* [[Late to The Punchline]]: Fluttershy is two minutes into the song before she gets the impression that Dash wants a flying pet, despite Dash making it pretty clear within the first thirty seconds that this is what she wants.
* [[The Law of Conservation of Detail]]: The camera keeps focusing on the tortoise during the song [[Foreshadowing|for a reason]].
* [[Leaning Onon the Fourth Wall]]: Rainbow Dash, several times, such as whistling along with [[Ride of the Valkyries (Music)|the background music]] as well as:
{{quote| '''Rainbow Dash:''' And so the final tie-breaking contest is going to be...''(to herself)'' [[Dramatic Pause|pause for dramatic effect]], ''([[Beat|beat]], then to everyone)'' a race against me! ''([[Jump Cut|jump cut]])'' Through Ghastly Gorge! [[Sting|Dun dun]] [[Saying Sound Effects Out Loud|dunnnnnn]]!! ([[Stock Sound Effects|hawk screech]]<ref> which was made by [[Noisy Nature|an eagle]]</ref>)}}
* [[Let's Duet]]: Between Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash.
* [[Loophole Abuse]]: {{spoiler|Rainbow Dash utilizes this to name the tortoise her pet, even though the falcon crossed the finish line first.}}
Line 167:
{{quote| '''Fluttershy:''' It's the best of the best like you wanted, remember? It can fly, and it's not a squirrel. Should we sing about it again?}}
* [[Mythology Gag]]: Rainbow Dash seems to be back to [http://i1216.photobucket.com/albums/dd363/xenu_photo9/style.jpg dressing in style].
* [[Never Say "Die"]]: Averted, to some degree, in the tortoise's "radical" display: The course includes a ring of fire, a guillotine and a pool of circling sharks. However, the pool appears to be a wind-up toy, based on a turning key on its side. And of course, the tortoise never gets a chance to actually run through any of the obstacles.
** Rainbow Dash also worries that her pinned wing will leave her trapped forever. The thought of dying of starvation rather than simply being stuck indefinitely doesn't seem to occur to her (though it may depend on your interpretation of her fears).
* [[Non Indicative Title]]: The animals are competing to become a pet, and as such, are not yet pets.
Line 184:
* [[Real Men Wear Pink]]: Watch as the bold and majestic eagle… knits Rainbow Dash a sweater?
* [[Removable Shell]]: During the "Find a Pet" musical number, the turtle<ref>[[Running Gag|Tortoise!]]</ref> pulls his head into his shell and pokes it back out through the tail end so he can look behind him.
* "[[Ride of the Valkyries (Music)|Ride of the Valkyries]]": Plays [[Source Music|and is whistled by Rainbow Dash]] during the race through [[Added Alliterative Appeal|Ghastly Gorge.]]
** [[Public Domain Soundtrack]]: No [[Suspiciously Similar Song]] here!
* [[Ridiculously Cute Critter]]: Several of the pets offered by Fluttershy. Taken [[Up to Eleven]] with the "puddy tat."
