You Know What That Means: Difference between revisions

Whenever one or more characters recognizes something ominous, they apparently feel the need to point it out by saying something like "And you'''You knowKnow whatWhat thatThat meansMeans'''!" or "Do you know what this means?" This will almost always be followed up by an explanation of what it means, either [[Info Dump|apropos of nothing]] or because one member of the group [[Rhetorical Question Blunder|really doesn't know what it means]]. In a rare few cases, it instead leads to a [[Cryptic Conversation]], and the audience doesn't find out what "that" means until later.

* Used in the first episode of ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'', after Twilight reads up on the legend of Nightmare Moon:

'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Actually, Pinkie, I haven't the slightest idea. }}
