Line 10:
* [[Ensemble Darkhorse|Ensemble Darkdragon]]: Crackle, memetic character from even before the episode was aired.
* [[Hilarious in Hindsight]]: The teenagers think that anything that has to do with ponies is sissy and girly. [[Periphery Demographic|Hmm, how ironic.]]
** The [[Cold Opening]] has Rainbow Dash and Twilight try to convince Fluttershy to conquer her fears to join in on a group activity. [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2 /E22 Hurricane Fluttershy|Guess what the plot was for the very next episode]].
* [[Jerkass Has a Point]]: Fluttershy's rather violent stand up to Rainbow Dash, as impressive as it is, comes off a bit harsh considering, as the latter pointed out, [[Hypocrite|she had Dash join in watching Butterfly Migration in a very similar circumstance beforehand]] (a group event Dash visibly didn't enjoy either).
* [[Left Hanging]]: We still don't find out about exactly where Spike came from. It fits in with [[An Aesop|the aesop]] though.
* [[Memetic Mutation]]: The shot of Rainbow Dash holding a photo to Fluttershy has become an visual exploitable. Same with Garble reading the letter from Princess Celestia that Spike belched up.
Line 23:
** However, it ''did'' reveal that dragons must usually grow their wings before their teenage years.
** Not even really implied, sadly. Garble did give Spike a hard time about his lack of wings and being young, but he was hassling Spike about every weakness that he could think of. That doesn't mean that Spike would grow wings later. Also, another one of the teenage dragons, the one with the giant tail, didn't have wings. Given the extreme variety in bodies presented, the implication seems to be that some dragons just don't have wings, which is still a less extreme variation than Crackle's extra limbs.
** If you look carefully at the picture on the cart which held Spike's egg in "[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 /E23 The Cutie Mark Chronicles|The Cutie Mark Chronicles]]", you can see that the dragon drawn there has no wings. Spike is probably a wingless species, assuming this isn't [[Jossed]] by him growing some later. Which is also unlikely, since all "adult" versions of Spike so far are also wingless.
* [[Ugly Cute]]: Crackle, the only dragon named in the show, manages to look so terrible that it is adorable.
* [[Viewer Gender Confusion]]: What gender is Crackle supposed to be anyway?
