Line 28:
----
=== Tropes present in this episode. (YMMV Tropes are [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
* [[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/Recap/S2
* [[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 42:
* [[Ass Kicks You]]: About a minute into the CMC's song, Sweetie Belle bounces into Scootaloo.
* [[Big No]]: The Cutie Mark Crusaders in unison, when they think {{spoiler|that the "love poison" is still in effect at the end}}.
* [[Big Yes]]: Sweetie Belle when Cheerilee asks Big Macintosh to be her very special somepony. Many have noted that it sounds a lot like [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* [[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
** Also, this is not the first time we get to see how much trouble can result from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
** 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
** 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/Recap/S2
** A subtle one: Again, something outrageous and ridiculous happens to Berry Punch (like when [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
** 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
** We have seen [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2
** 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.
** Before that, we can see how, unlike Applejack, Big Macintosh can buck a whole tree's apple harvest at once, by merely tapping it with ''one'' of his hind legs.
** Consistent with the superior physical strength of earth ponies, Cherilee bursts open the changing room door blocked by furniture and [[There Was a Door|knocks down the Carousel shop's front wall.]]
* [[Continuity Nod]]: An incredibly subtle one is done during the course of the song, as Scootaloo never actually sings any of her lines, since "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
** There's also the fact that every ingredient has something to do with pegasi ("making hearts soar" indeed), and it's Scootaloo who collects them. She picks off a bit of cloud with her teeth (Pegasi can naturally walk on/touch [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
** One of the jewelry pieces Big Mac and Apple Bloom consider buying has the gems arrayed like the Elements of Harmony symbol from the first episode. It's the one Apple Bloom claimed was too flashy.
* [[Cringe Comedy]]: Boy, and ''how.''
Line 75:
* [[Fourth Date Marriage|First Date Marriage]]: Big Macintosh and Cheerilee are easily coaxed into getting married while under the influence of the love potion, but it's all a plot by the Cutie Mark Crusaders to keep them apart until the potion wears off.
* [[Funny Background Event]]
** In the opening, [[Fan Nickname|Truffle
** When the CMC are discussing hooking Cheerilee up with somepony, Twist is playing "pin the heart on the pony". She pins it on ''Cheerilee'' instead of the target.
** Diamond Tiara...''[[Alpha Bitch|Diamond Tiara!]]''...gets an H-and-H card. She's pretty shocked.
Line 102:
* [[Imagine Spot]]: Apple Bloom has one about Ponyville's certain doom when she is told that the Love Potion is really a Love Poison and how it led to the destruction of a kingdom.
* [[Insane Troll Logic]]: Apple Bloom's overexaggeration of the effects of Cheerilee and Big Macintosh remaining under the influence of the love poison.
* [[Insubstantial Ingredients]]: "A bright rainbow's glow" is apparently more substantial in Equestria. Even accounting for the time that [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1
* [[I Want Grandkids]]: When the Cutie Mark Crusaders ask Cheerilee why she doesn't have a "very special somepony", the expression on her face could be seen as someone who's received the same question ''lots'' of times from her parents...
* [[Karma Houdini]]: {{spoiler|Averted. The CMC get a proper punishment for their actions instead of one of those "I think you learned your lesson" lines.}}
Line 130:
* [[OOC Is Serious Business]]: The first thing that tips off the CMC that the potion isn't working the way they expected is when [[The Stoic|Big Macintosh]] starts using rather cheesy pet names for Cheerilee.
* [[Pair the Spares]]: A literal case, as Cheerilee is single and the CMC find out that out of all the candidates they list, Big Macintosh is the only one that fits their "good" and "still available" criteria.
** Also, during the cold opening, Twist and [[Fan Nickname|Truffle
* [[The Pig Pen]]: One of the stallions is rejected for being abnormally filthy and messy. He even has a garbage can for a cutie mark.
* [[Human Ladder|Pony Ladder]]: The Cutie Mark Crusaders do this to grab a cloud for their concoction.
