Line 35:
** Notably, this is the first episode of Season 2 where Applejack does not appear, meaning that no character appears in every Season 2 episode. (This may be partially to avoid answering the question as to whether the mane six have "very special someponies," especially since part of the point of FIM is to ''not'' be all about romantic relationships.)
** 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
* [[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.
Line 43:
* [[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
* [[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
** 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
** 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
** 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
** 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).
Line 56:
** 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
** 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
** 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 103:
* [[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
* [[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 145:
* [[Schizo-Tech]]: We see a colt and two fillies playing stand-up arcade games.
** The CMC use a vacuum cleaner to suck up the rainbow's coloring.
* [[Shipper
* [[Ship Sinking]]: Caramel, a favorite of [[Yaoi Fangirl|Yaoi Fangirls]], is shown early on with a girlfriend, shown nuzzling with her, and is explicitly stated to be her boyfriend by the CMC.... Just to hammer the point home for those in denial.
** This hasn't stopped certain parts of the fandom from calling her [[The Beard]].
Line 151:
* [[Ship Tease]]: {{spoiler|The episode ends with Big Macintosh and Cheerilee going on a picnic while the Crusaders are forced to do Big Mac's chores as punishment. They smile and wink at each other after seeing how the CMC react to their use of the cutesy pet names from before, but they are also seen walking off into the sunset together.}}
** {{spoiler|Intentionally downplayed so as not to conflict with the Aesop. If anyone's getting teased, it's the Crusaders.}}
* [[Shout-Out]]: An episode where a trio of grade-schoolers pair up their teacher and a family member...and in the process turn them into [[Sickeningly Sweethearts|lovey-dovey idiots]] who neglect their responsibilities? [[The Powerpuff Girls
** The music while the CMCs mix up their love potion is [[Suspiciously Similar Song|Suspiciously Similar]] to [[The Sorcerers Apprentice|The Sorcerer's Apprentice]] by Paul Dukas.
** Big Macintosh shouting for Cheerilee may be one to ''[[The Graduate]]''.
Line 163:
* [[Stepford Smiler]]: Cheerilee briefly has one of these moments. When Sweetie Belle asks her why she doesn't have a special somepony, Cheerilee looks extremely depressed, complete with dropping ears. However, the second she turns around, she's smiling cheerfully again.
** Alternatively, since she's clearly rolling her eyes, she's just annoyed at once again being asked why she's single.
* [[Strangled
* [[Super Strength]]: This episode makes it clear that Big Mac is ''very'' strong.
** Cheerilee shows off quite a bit of strength as well, busting two separate doors to smithereens and ramming past the barricade Sweetie Belle set up to keep her in Carousel Boutique. [[The Power of Love]], everypony.
** They are both earth ponies, which are stated to be stronger than unicorns or pegasi, and Big Mac is stronger than any other known earth pony.
* [[My God, What Have I Done?|Sweet Celestia, What Have We Done?]]: This is the CMCs' reaction when they realize the effects of their so-called love potion.
* [[Tastes Like Diabetes]]: [[In
* [[Terrible Interviewees Montage]]: The Crusaders' song is something like this, with them going around town rejecting various stallions (and one colt) for various reasons.
{{quote| This one's too young, this one's too old<br />
Line 181:
* [[Well-Intentioned Extremist|Well Intentioned Extremists]]: The CMC basically tricks Cheerilee and Big Macintosh into drinking a rape drug potion, but they really meant well and they really just wanted to see their teacher happy.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Heinous?]]: I know you're worried about Cheerilee, Apple Bloom, but the inability of an ''Elementary'' school teacher to teach is not going to turn all of Ponyville into idiots.
* [[What Happened to
** To fanfic writers this could be the loose end that launched a thousand [[A Worldwide Punomenon|ships]].
* [[Why Didn't You Just Say So?]]: Apple Bloom's reaction to Sweetie Belle revealing there is an antidote ''after'' she's had a panic attack.
