Line 14:
* [[Ear Worm]]: You know the girls' show genre is turned on its head when a <ref> Officially [http://www.facebook.com/dannyimusic/posts/270757059638540 named by Daniel Ingram] as "Becoming Popular (The Pony Everypony Should Know)"</ref> that sounds ''exactly like a Barbie commercial'' is genuinely good.
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse]]: This episode introduced several new minor and background ponies. Fancypants is already quite popular in the fandom, and his unnamed female companion has already spawned a bunch of fanart within a day of the episode airing.
** There's a funny case with Wonderbolt Fleetfoot. A few days before this episode aired, someone created an [[OC Stand -In]] out of an [[Off-Model]] Wonderbolt that appears briefly in "The Best Night Ever", giving her the name [http://ask-echo-wonderbolt.tumblr.com/ Echo]. The premise of a blind Wonderbolt was popular enough to get fanart within days... and in this episode "Echo" returns, gets the name Fleetfoot, and wins the race. Said blog adopted it as Echo's surname, and now she's probably one of the most popular Wonderbolts.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Remember [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E8/E08 The Mysterious Mare Do Well|just one week before]] when Pinkie Pie said that "the only thing that should be rubbed in anypony's face is chocolate cake"? Guess what happens during the birthday party.
* [[Off-Model]]: There is a 'blink-and-you'll-miss-it' moment where the earth pony Rarity is talking to suddenly gains a horn for the sake of a gag. It's during 'Becoming Popular' and Rarity is choosing the desserts.
* [[So Bad It's Good]]: Twilight Sparkle's dance, it's a really bad dance, yet makes Twilight look [[Adorkable]] doing it.
** Much like its inspiration, Julia-Louis Dreyfus doing "The Elaine" in [[Seinfeld]].
* [[Spoiled Byby the Format]]: "Hearth's Warming Eve" originally aired before "Family Appreciation Day" and "Baby Cakes", so its plot synopsis was known prior to this episode's airing. As a result, the synopsis that mentioned the *six* friends going to Canterlot to do a play suggested that Rarity would choose her friends over her important business connections.
** [[Foregone Conclusion|Not that anyone expected her to keep the business connections, given the genre of the show in question.]]
*** As it turned out she did get to keep both in the end.
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: The viewers are meant to see the Canterlot Elite as smug jerks for looking down on Ponyvillians. Considering that a bunch of Ponyvillians trashed the Grand Galloping Gala (the highest profile annual social gathering in Equestria), and by the end of the episode, trashed the Canterlot Garden Party (the second highest profile social gathering in Equestria), one wonders if the Canterlot Elite's aversion to Ponyvillians is actually somewhat deserved.
* [[Uncanny Valley]]: [[http://img.ponibooru.org/_images/4a09514a95ed64f141bb4d4c7e7b3823/93092%20-<!-- 20artist3Aporkcow_trololololoo%20artist%3Aporkcow_trololololoo%20classic_art%20nightmare_fuel%20parody%20plot%20rarity%20Salvador_Dali%20screencap%20straight_pun.png A very disturbing piece of art.]]{{Dead -->link}}
* [[The Woobie]]: It's hard not to feel sorry for the bellhop pony for breaking his back just to do his job.
