'''Note:''' [[Out of Order|This is the thirteenth episode of the second season, but was the eleventh aired and is listed as Season 2 Episode 11 by iTunes.]] As such, [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E13 Hearths Warming Eve]] also links here.

=== Tropes ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E13 Hearths Warming Eve/YMMV|YMMV tropes can be found here]]): ===
 
* [[Added Alliterative Appeal]]: Part of Spike's narration at the pageant.
Line 48:
* [[Call Back]]:
** While riding the Friendship Express Train to Canterlot, Fluttershy says she's so excited she feels like shouting and gave a small, barely audible "woo hoo!", similar to "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E16 Sonic Rainboom|Sonic Rainboom]]" and "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E20 Green Isn't Your Color|Green Isn't Your Color]]" when her attempts were equally as meek.
** The stained glass windows depicting the Mane cast defeating Nightmare Moon and Discord, seen in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E1 The Return of Harmony Part 1|both]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E2 The Return of Harmony Part 2|parts]] of "The Return of Harmony", are shown in the hall where the pageant is being held.
** Clover the Clever was the student of Star Swirl the Bearded, who was first mentioned in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E4 Luna Eclipsed|Luna Eclipsed]]."
* [[The Cameo]]:
** Jet Set and Upper Crust make an appearance, looking as stuck-up as ever.
Line 62:
** Spike who is an important part of the main cast but often an outsider and observer of most of the action is the narrator.
* [[Character Exaggeration]]: The three leaders are essentially the same as their actresses, but with [[Flanderization|the negative aspects of their strongest personality traits exaggerated.]] As a result the three assistants take their actresses' [[Only Sane Man|beleaguered qualities]] up a notch as well, acting even more frustrated and snarky than normal.
* [[Chekhov's Gun]]: The Wendigo being beaten by using the bond between ponies to power a spell without the Elements. {{spoiler|A similar technique is used by Shining Armor and Princess Cadence to defeat Queen Chrysalis in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E26 A Canterlot Wedding Part 2|the finale]], only with [[The Power of Love|a different bond used as the power source]]}}.
* [[Christmas Episode]]: Or Equestria's analogous holiday, anyway. The decor is ''very'' Christmas, though the holiday itself is more like a combination of Thanksgiving and a national founding day.
* [[Compressed Hair]]: Pinkie Pie somehow manages to keep her tail neatly stuffed inside her costume.
Line 120:
* [[Glad I Thought of It]]: Chancellor Puddinghead's response to her secretary suggesting "Earth" instead of "Dirtville".
* [[Go Out with a Smile]]: When the three assistants realize there's no escaping their fate, they decide to become friends before their end so they can at least die as friends instead of meaningless enemies. [[The Power of Friendship|This was a]] [[Circle of Friendship|very wise move.]]
* [[Go, Ye Heroes, Go and Die]]: When Rarity tries to encourage Fluttershy out of her stage fright. It almost works.
