Line 2:

* [[Alternative Character Interpretation]]: Did the town chase off the Flim Flam Brothers ''just'' because their cider was rotten, or because the brothers had [[Kick the Dog|given the town a front row seat to how rotten the two of them really were]] and [[My God, What Have I Done?|out of guilt for their inability to wait for cider costing the Apples their livelihood]]?
** Why not [[Take a Third Option]] and say they did it for both reasons?
** Some fans view a protectionist subtext in the plot of the chapter.
Line 14:
** Why would the Flim Flam bros. sell the obviously inferior cider instead of the more carefully made batches after the contest? Because the barrels that held the good batch were made first and, therefore, stuck under all of the more hastily made cider so they couldn't easily dig them out.
** Alternatively, they sold the bad cider because they'd been enjoying [[Frothy Mugs of Water|good cider]] for most of the episode.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: Figures that Fluttershy would be the one helping with the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: "Dear Princess Celestia, I didn't learn a darn thing."
* [[Moral Event Horizon]]: The Flim-Flam Brothers {{spoiler|rubbing their victory in the Apples' face, including saying they're essentially going to demolish their ''home'', then laughing about it to their faces.}} Rainbow Dash ([[Alternate Character Interpretation|and some say the townsponies]]) seems to consider it this [[In
* [[Nausea Fuel]]: The Flim-Flam Brothers' nasty cider at the end, with whole dirty apple chunks floating in it.
* [[Older Than They Think]]: A pair of "new" background ponies<ref>One with a wrench for a cutie mark, and one whose cutie mark appears to be ''[[Norse Mythology|Thor's hammer]]''</ref> have caught the interest of some fans and appear to be on their way to becoming [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Ensemble Darkhorses]]. They actually appeared as early as "Applebuck Season", but this might be the first time they've been shown with visible cutie marks.
* [[Straw Man Has a Point]]: When the Apples are protesting that Flim and Flam's quickly-made cider can't compare to the deliciousness of their lovingly-made cider, Rainbow Dash and the others who missed out (at this point acting as antagonists) counter that extra-delicious cider is no good to them if they never get to drink any. Which is... absolutely correct, cider that's just "okay" that you get to drink is better than cider that's amazing that you never get any of. Especially since Rainbow Dash was so desperate for cider that at one point she ''eats dirt''.
** This problem was solved by the episode's conflict, so it might be a moot point.
* [[What an Idiot!]]: Uh, Flim-Flam Bros., did you really think it was a good idea to sell your badly made cider to the customers at the end of the show?
** Even worse, since they had some early barrels made from the best apples which probably ''would'' have been decent enough to serve.
** Though depending on how you saw the townsponies' actions in the end, it might not matter if they used the decent batch ''or'' the crappy batch.
