[[Hilarity Ensues]] as the plain ponies of Ponyville and the Canterlot ''crème de la crème'' mix in a most inharmonious manner, with the latter appalled at the former. Twilight's dress catches Fancypants' eye, and he politely asks her for the designer. When Twilight reveals that Rarity made it for her, Upper Crust and Jet Set begin smirking and laughing, only to be set silent when Rarity gathers her courage and stands up for her friends as the most important ponies she knows. To her surprise, Fancypants throws his support behind her, complimenting the other ponies as "charmingly rustic". The various [[Yes -Man|Yes-Ponies]] quickly change their view of Rarity again, rapidly throwing her compliments and orders for gowns.
 
Back in her suite, Rarity prepares a letter for Princess Celestia, only to deliver it verbally when Celestia herself stops by:
Line 86:
** The clearest example is when she stands on Rarity's drawing table, tapping the dress design to say, "Get to work, already!"
* [[Expy]]: Fancypants works rather well as [http://images.wikia.com/gonewiththewind/images/1/1c/Rhett1.jpg Rhett Butler], especially given that Rarity [[My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E5 Sisterhooves Social|has loudly established herself as Scarlett O'Hara]].
* [["Friend or Idol?" Decision]]: Rarity has to decide whether to spend time with the upper-class ponies in Canterlot or make a dress for and attend Twilight's birthday party back home. {{spoiler|She ends up choosing her friends, but things work out for her in both ways, keeping her connections in Canterlot thanks to Fancypants.}}
** [[Foregone Conclusion]]: It's ''My Little Pony: '''Friendship''' is Magic''. Enough said.
* [[Furry Reminder]]: At the end of "Becoming Popular", Rarity falls asleep ''standing up.''
Line 134:
* [[Non Standard Character Design]]: The "lovely unicorn" (Fleur-De-Lis) with Fancypants by [[Word of God]] uses a [http://www.allspark.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=83737&view=findpost&p=1960744 modified Luna model]. Probably no coincidence the coloring matches Celestia.
* [[Palette Swap]]: The poor unicorn tasked with carrying Rarity's luggage is one of Snails.
* [[Parental Bonus]]: In the museum shot during the song, at least two of the paintings are inspired by real-world artists, Pablo Picasso and [[Salvador Dali]] (more specifically, [http://en.[wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Persistence_of_Memory:The Persistence of Memory|"The Persistence of Memory"]]). Rarity is also dressed like [[Yoko Ono]].
* [[Pimped-Out Dress]]: Rarity's draft of Twilight's dress.
* [[Pretty in Mink]]: One of the Canterlot ponies has a fur hat and fur-trimmed coat.
Line 141:
* [[Running Gag]]: The porter pony struggling to carry Rarity's things.
** [[Rule of Three]]: Done three times throughout the run-time.
* [[Schizo -Tech]]: Jet Set's cutie mark is a [[Visual Pun|trio of jet planes]]. In the same episode where we're introduced to [[Cool Airship|balloon-buoyed airships]].
* [[Shout -Out]]:
** Rarity's behavior at the Wonderbolts Derby is similar (though not as extreme) as Audrey Hepburn's character in ''[[My Fair Lady]]''.
** The comically abused bellhop is very reminiscent of [[Jerry Lewis]]' equally comically abused bellhop in the movie "The Bell Boy".
Line 163:
** Plus, it wouldn't be right to expect Rarity to give up her life's dream, just to go to Twilight's birthday party.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: At least, "partying, Ponyville-style" in the eyes of the Canterlot elite.
* [[Yes -Man|Yes-Mares]]: In Canterlot, the higher up you are, the more you have. {{spoiler|This saves Rarity's reputation in the end; while everypony initially laughs at her, Fancypants approves of it all, saying he finds her friends "charmingly rustic". Within seconds, everypony there is swamping Rarity with orders.}}
** Rarity invokes this trope in her song.
{{quote| ''See how they hang on every word that I speak''<br />
''My approving glance is what they all seek.'' }}
** She also uses her [[Yes -Man|Yes-Mares]] to emphasize her element of Generosity: She accepts everything the snooty ponies don't like, and makes the snooty ones accept it because she does.
