=== Tropes present in this episode. (YMMV Tropes are [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E17 Hearts and Hooves Day/YMMV|here.]]) ===
 
* [[Absentee Actor]]: With the exception of Twilight (who appears for less than a minute), ''none'' of the Mane Cast makes an appearance.
Line 35:
** A [[Fourth Wall Mail Slot]] interview on [[McDonald's|HappyMeal.com]] later revealed that Pinkie Pie "celebrated by having the best Hearts and Hooves party ever with every pony in Ponyville!" Probably not canon as it was just meant to promote the [[McDonald's]] [[My Little Pony]] toys, but an explanation is an explanation.
* [[A Day in the Limelight]]: For Cheerilee and Big Mac.
* [[Aesop Amnesia]]: Apple Bloom seems to have forgotten that [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E6 The Cutie Pox|the last time she dabbled in witchcraft didn't go so well, either]]. To be fair, though, she initially had some second thoughts about using the love potion.
* [[Alternate Animal Affection]]: Rubbing noses.
* [[Anticlimax]]: On the first attempt by the CMC to hitch Cheerilee and Big Macintosh, the fillies wait in a nearby bush, getting more excited by the moment, as the two get closer, and closer, and Cheerilee looks deep into Big Mac's eyes, and then utters...
Line 45:
* [[Call Back]]: Apple Bloom's been known to dabble in the Ye Olde Potions department from "Cutie Pox". {{spoiler|And once again, it ends up having ''very'' bad consequences.}}
** Twilight Sparkle is shown carrying the book about the Elements of Harmony from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E2 Elements of Harmony|the first episode]].
** Also, this is not the first time we get to see how much trouble can result from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E3 Lesson Zero|mind-controlling someone as strong as Big Macintosh]].
** The Crusaders claim to have fixed the gazebo by themselves, which is plausible, considering how Apple Bloom managed to ''rebuild'' [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E18 The Show Stoppers|their clubhouse.]]
** Among the various things Sweetie Belle uses to block the changing room door and keep Cheerilee inside Carousel Boutique are [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E3 Lesson Zero|Rarity's chaise longue]] and [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E14 Suited for Success|a kitchen sink.]]
** A subtle one: Again, something outrageous and ridiculous happens to Berry Punch (like when [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E2 The Return of Harmony Part 2|Discord collapsed a bunch of houses as she sneezed]]). No wonder [[The Alcoholic|she drinks]].
** The music that plays at the beginning of the episode is a somewhat slower version of the music that plays at the start of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E1 Mare in The Moon|the first episode]].
** We have seen [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E2 The Return of Harmony Part 2|rainbows turned grayscale]] before.
** Twilight is shown as eager to get others interested in reading, just like the previous episode (perhaps to the point of not paying proper attention to ''why'' they're interested).
* [[Charles Atlas Superpower]]: Big Macintosh is easily able to pull two bulls and a cart of anvils without breaking a sweat. He ''initially'' notices the increased weight when Apple Bloom adds Berry Punch's house to the load, but then he just applies a little extra force and ends up dragging the whole house with him.
