* Pinkie Pie in general is just one big walking [[Crowning Moment of Funny]]. What else can describe [[It Makes Sense in Context|someone asking their split personality]] [[It Makes Just As Much Sense in Context|if they'll reenact a scene from the pony version of]] ''[[Naruto]]''? And then there's this:
{{quote| '''Pinkie Pie''': Maybe I can ask the pegasi to make it rain chocolate milk with cotton candy clouds on my next birthday! I asked Twilight if we could have that all the time, but she said the crops wouldn't like that, and that included wheat which means she said there wouldn't be any flour and that would mean no cupcakes and-- [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|WOULD YOU SHUT UP ABOUT]] [[Cupcakes (Fanfic)|THAT STUPID FANFIC]] [[Breaking the Fourth Wall|ALREADY-?!]]}}
** Becomes a [[Brick Joke]] when she gets {{spoiler|stuck in Princess Gaia's [[Lotus Eater Machine]]. Part of her ideal world is having that fic pretty much erased from existence.}}
** The entire scene where she's reunited with the Mane Cast after her week long slumber and {{spoiler|[[Split Personality Merge]]}}. Especially the mass [[Jaw Drop]] in response to her not wanting to throw a party and then {{spoiler|her explanation of how her [[Split Personality Merge]] happened.}}
* A bit morbid as far as CMOF's go, but Doctor Whooves reenacting his bout as Time Lord Victorious with a bed sheet cape is just funny enough to offset the inherent if [[Nightmare Fuel]] involved.
* This conversation between Fluttershy and Fluttercruel:
{{quote| '''Fluttercruel''': Shut up shut up! You don't know anything so stop [[Unusual Euphemism|spewing dragon fewmets]] like you know me or someone you met twice!<br />
'''Fluttershy''': Oh my my my, such language. We're going to have to clean that mouth out.<br />
'''Fluttercruel''': [[Adult Child|YOU WOULDN'T!]] }}
Line 21:
* The introduction of {{spoiler|Trixie's sisters,}} the Mid Summer-Night Sisters. Complete with [[Super Sentai Stance]] and rolecall. It would seem {{spoiler|Trixie's}} [[Large Ham]] tendencies are a family trait.
* Twilight and {{spoiler|Trixie's}} conversation on the events of "Lesson Zero":
{{quote| '''{{spoiler|Trixie}}''': And you used a GEASS to make the entire town fall in love with your doll?!<br />
'''Twilight''': I just meant it to happen to three little innocent fillies who I was then going to remove the spell right after...<br />
'''{{spoiler|Trixie}}''': Maybe {{spoiler|the one and only Trixie}} should consider this sweet blackmail material.<br />
'''Twilight''': {{spoiler|Trixie.}} I was inside your head. I saw every last trauma and embarrassing secret in there.<br />
'''{{spoiler|Trixie}}''': [[Tempting Fate|Prove it]].<br />
'''Twilight''': {{spoiler|Princess Star Flower.}} }}
** This is followed by [[The Reveal]] that {{spoiler|Trixie}} once did the same thing, only she cast the spell on ''herself''. [[Gone Horribly Wrong|That worked about as well as you'd expect]].
* Princess Luna is reading a tabloid artical refrencing [[God Save Us From the Queen|one of Celestia's]] [[Alternative Character Interpretation|Alternative Character Interpretations]] to Celestia... Then she reads who wrote it:
{{quote| '''Luna''': Wait a minute. Written by SUNNY DAY-!? CELLY! That's one of your alias'!"<br />
'''Celestia''': *chuckles* [[Troll|So it is.]] }}
** Even funnier, her words imply she fools around with the tabloids like this on a regular basis.
** The not so subtle [[Take That]] to the [[Ron the Death Eater]] treatment Celestia goes through; she's described as shuddering when she remembers the "Molestia" rumors that apparently started circulating after she took Twilight in as her student.
* Alright, it was followed by a ''major'' [[Tear Jerker]], but {{spoiler|95% of what Fluttercruel does during her day in control. Including getting ''[[Drunk Onon Milk|drunk on salt water!]]'' Ok, at first that's not ''so'' funny, then you imagine ''Fluttershy'' of all ponies doing all of this and it becomes pretty dang funny!}}
* {{spoiler|Filly Celestia}}. That is all.
* How {{spoiler|Pinkie Pie}} and {{spoiler|The One and Only Trixie}} break out of {{spoiler|Princess Gaia's}} [[Lotus Eater Machine]]. The former {{spoiler|bites her own leg -- then screams bloody murder and decides she should have just imagined plunging into ice water or something}}, while the latter {{spoiler|takes a mallet to the head from her Imaginary Friend}}.
* {{spoiler|Filly Zecora}} manages to be hilarious, adorable, and somewhat creepy all at the same time.
** As is [[Cuteness Proximity|Pinkie Pie's reaction to her.]]
{{quote| '''Pinkie Pie''': SO CUTE!}}
* Rainbow Dash's reaction to {{spoiler|the Everkind Forest's}} [[Tastes Like Diabetes]] nature in general. Also, her reaction to a doll of her G3 counterpart. Pinkie Pie's [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] by refrencing the commercial makes it even funnier.
{{quote| '''Pinkie Pie''': Oh look! ''Rainbow Dash always dresses in style!''<br />
'''Rarity''': (Laughing) I must say, this is an improvement for you dear!<br />
'''Rainbow Dash''': (Thinking) If this wasn't {{spoiler|Fluttershy}}, I'd hoof her in the face for this! }}
* In "Playtime", Celestia is {{spoiler|unbrainwashing and distracting the foals that used to be Ponyville's population disguised as an earth pony filly named Sunny Day}}. What is Luna doing? Drinking her morning (well, for her, since she's nocternal) coffee while babysitting a group of {{spoiler|guards turned into}} foals, apparently on Celestia's orders. She's ''not'' happy about it either.
{{quote| '''Princess Luna''': Celly, you die for this.}}
** And then in a later chapter, Luna shows up and we see two of her Night Guard watching over the foal-ified Day Guard in Canterlot. [[Badly -Battered Babysitter|It's going about as well as you'd expect]]. And what are the Night Guards thinking?
{{quote| '''Night Guard''': Your Nightjesty, [[Ironic Echo|you die for this.]]}}
* Rainbow Dash [[Comically Missing the Point]] {{spoiler|with Fluttershy}}.
{{quote| '''Twilight''': {{spoiler|"But Fluttershy}}, you haven't answered the most important questions."<br />
'''Rainbow Dash''': "Yeah! Can I have Cloudsdale renamed in my honor?"<br />
'''Twilight''': "That wasn't the question, Rainbow."<br />
'''Rainbow Dash''': "Oh." }}
* Trixie getting drunk after {{spoiler|hearing she's been hired to do a magic act at the celebration.}}
* The Sea Serpent's reaction to {{spoiler|Everkind Forest turning back into Everfree Forest}}.
{{quote| '''Sea Serpent''': That's it, I'm moving.}}
* As Celestia is discussing the Mane Cast {{spoiler|to show Trixie that she can be an Element Of Harmony and part of a group without surrendering what makes her her}}, she has this to say about Pinkie Pie:
{{quote| '''Princess Celestia''': And Pinkie Pie . . . I shall say only that she has a uniqueness that shall never be emulated within the lifetime of this universe.<br />
'''Pinkie Pie''': [[Emoticon|^_^]] }}
* Drunk Trixie... [[Brick Joke|Again]].
{{quote| Trixie: And that is how I defeated twenty Ursa Majors In D Minor with my horns tied behind my back and my hoof shinning as brightly as Princess Luna's sun!}}
* When Rainbow Dash is visited by Spitfire, Spitfire asks to come in. In response, Dash does her best twilight impression.
{{quote| Rainbow Dash: "YES YES YES YES YES!"}}
* From the last story in "Butterflies", the antics of the Crusaders. A [[Noodle Incident|"Fire elemental incident"]] is mentioned. They did it with matches. And that's not even getting into the ''other'' [[Noodle Incident]] of Butterflies. They manage to break time by travelling ''sideways'', break so many laws of the universe it takes Doctor Whooves to keep track, see multiple generations of the show (The Smooze from Gen 1 and Scootaloo singing a song from Gen 3 come to mind, keep in mind that according to [[Loose Canon]] {{spoiler|Generation 3 was erased in a [[Cosmic Retcon]], so that shouldn't even be ''possible''}}) and even run into the Hasbro executives themselves, mentioning how their spinoff series was cancelled. {{spoiler|[[Sixth Ranger|Silver Spoon]]}} being the [[Only Sane Man|Only Sane Mare]] for all this just adds to the fun.
** It must be mentioned that they did all this with [[Noodle Implements|fireworks, old railroad tracks,]] and [[Bread, Eggs, Milk, Squick|a flux-capacitor they found in Doctor Whooves' junk pile.]]
** Also from Applejack's "Butterflies" chapter is [[It Makes Sense in Context|Spike showing up to try and reclaim Smartypants from Big Macintosh to impress Rarity]] wearing a suit of knight's armor.
{{quote| '''Applejack''': Spike, for the ''last time'', gettin' bucked by by Big Mac [[Oh, No, Not Again|again]] isn't gonna impress Rarity!<br />
'''Spike''': It might.<br />
'''Apple Family''': (Group [[Face Palm|Face Hoof]]) }}
** From Fluttercruel's when she's talking to the interviewers:
{{quote| '''Fluttercruel''': You know, it's crazy here I am my own pony as a person, yet I'd feel incomplete without 'Shy around. Huh? So it's like being married? Do I do WHAT in bed?!<br />
([[Beat]])<br />
'''Fluttercruel''': Pst. I didn't buck'er that hard. Don't overact so much. I'm sure they'll wake up in a bit. Naw, see? The bleeding's already stopped on its own. }}
* A substantial fraction of Fluttercruel's Cute-Ceañera.
Line 76:
** Hoof-wrestling is [[Serious Business]]. To the point that Spike and Twilight have both read books on it, and Rarity's father gave her special training.
** Fluttershy getting an [[Imagine Spot]] of 'cruel mixed up with reality.
** Another [[Imagine Spot]] of 'cruel's, the idea that Rarity would respond to an invading alien army (of Blood Ravens from [[Warhammer 40 K,000]]) by critiquing their style choices and offering them better uniforms.
** 'cruel retreating into her own mind to escape Pinkie's singing - apparently it involved hard bass, dramatic chords, a rap section, backmasked messages, cannon, chimes and brass fanfare. It was the original version of the song for Baby Cakes.
** Pin the Tail on the Pony. With a nail gun. Blindfolded.
{{quote| '''Trixie''': AAGG! HOW DID IT CATCH FIRE?!!!}}
** Fluttercruel discovers her tolerance for spicy food is much higher than 'shy's. By letting her take back control after having enough for her.
* While not actually a part of the fic, [http://youtu.be/5JnxhRpukLA this "ad" calling for help] with the audio adaptation certainly has its moments.
* From "New Game Plus":
{{quote| '''Fluttercruel''': "I understand because my 'dad's' a sick brat with the world's worst sense of humor and my 'mom' is a shrinking violet still scared of her own shadow!" [[Nothing Personal|'No offense, 'Shy.'']]<br />
'''Fluttershy''': 'None taken. It ''follows'' me.'<br />
'''Fluttercruel''': Oy. (mental [[Face Palm|Face Hoof]]) }}
* Applejack taking advantage of Pinkie Pie's hypnotic ability to make somepony want to eat a food just by describing it to make Apple Bloom eat her asparagus.
{{quote| '''Apple Bloom''': (as she's scarfing her asparagus, which she hates) "Why can't I stop?!"}}
* [[The Reveal]] (via [[Dramatic Irony]]) that {{spoiler|Trixie is also an Element of Harmony, just after they wrap around the fact Fluttercruel is one as well.}}
{{quote| '''Rarity''': (Faints)<br />
'''Fluttershy/Fluttercruel''': You just couldn't let us have our big moment could you?<br />
'''Pinkie Pie''': Humph! About time. ([[Beat]]) Don't tell me you guys didn't figure it out? [[Medium Awareness|You didn't see all the]] [[Foreshadowing|foreshadowing]]?<br />
'''Rainbow Dash''': YOU'VE GOTTA BE [[Unusual Euphemism|BUCKING]] ME! [[Lampshade Hanging|Is this gonna be like]] [[Take That|buckin']] [[DragonballDragon Ball|DragonEggs Z]] [[Overshadowed Byby Awesome|where everybody]] {{spoiler|[[MacGuffin|gets an Element?!]]}}<br />
'''Pinkie Pie''': Nah, pretty sure this is like [[Power Rangers RPM|Pony Rangers RPM]], {{spoiler|when [[Sixth Ranger|the two other Rangers]] shows up and make the team stronger, silly!}} }}
* One minor bit in one story is Celestia remembering how once two stallions sneaked into the royal treasury using magic to impersonate her. When Celestia caught up with them, she decided that since they [[Hoist Byby His Own Petard|enjoyed looking like a lovely mare so much]], [[Attractive Bent Gender|she'd make it easy for them by transforming them so they wouldn't need magic to do it any more.]] That is, they'd both been under the same illusion as her, so she turned them into one single mare. Celestia then assures the reader that [[Esoteric Happy Ending|they eventually got used to it]]. Indeed, they became Fleur's grandmother.
** There's also the mention of the two assassins who decided to [[Too Dumb to Live|knock before entering her bedroom]]. She responded by teleporting them to a tropical island paradise for the rest of their lives. Note, this isn't two assassins working together, but two ''separate'' instances of this happening!
* During "Origins", when Celestia and Luna are fighting {{spoiler|their siblings for the right to bring the Windigoes into Equestria}}, Discord [[Villainous Rescue|saves them]] from some magic constructs... [[Makes Just Asas Much Sense in Context|by running them over with a bulldozer while waving a Civil War-era sword and blowing on a cavalry horn]] (Celestia herself admits that, since they were in a void, there shouldn't have been any matter for him to create it from). Shortly after, Celestia's brother Leo grabs him, but Discord escapes by tricking him into thinking Havoc has shown up:
{{quote| '''Leo''': Who's your daddy?<br />
'''Discord''': [[Look Behind You!|HIM!]]<br />
'''Leo''': WHERE!<br />
'''Discord''': (''hits Leo with something unspecified'')<br />
