My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E15 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000: Difference between revisions

* [[Meaningful Name]]: "Flim Flam" being another term for a confidence scheme.

** Lampshaded by the Flim Flam Brothers threatening the Apple family, saying that they'll need to get jobs that aren't so perfectly suited to their names.

* [[My God, What Have I Done?|My God What Have We Done?]]: Nothing is said, but {{spoiler|the town's reaction to seeing the Apple Family lose their livelihood (and the Flim Flam Brothers' [[Kick the Dog]] moment), something that only happened because they were too impatient to wait for more cider, is pretty much this.}}

* [[Mythology Gag]]: This isn't the first time ''My Little Pony'' has had two competing juice stands. An episode of [[My Little Pony Tales]], "The Great Lemonade Stand Wars", did it first, including contrasting the main characters' charming little wooden stand with their competitor's sleeker, shinier, mobile one. This time, however, Bon Bon is on the ''other'' side of the counter.

* [[Villain Song]]: The Flim Flam Bros. song counts, although it's rather upbeat and causes everyone else to join in singing. Also notable as the first [[Villain Song]] of the series thus far.

* [[Visual Pun]]: The Apple family's device for making cider uses actual horsepower.

* [[A Wizard Did It]]: [[Word of God|Lauren Faust stated]], in defining the technology for the show, that if there was a necessary device that needed to work automatically, instead of relying on electricity, she'd claim that one could just assume that some mechanic unicorn infused it with magic. That's exactly how Flim and Flam start up their machine.

* [[Working Title]]: [http://www.equestriadaily.com/2012/02/operation-fim-musicians-are-awesome.html Apparently was supposed to be called "Cider Horse Rules".]
