Line 24:
Meanwhile, Spike and the other ponies are getting closer to where Rarity's being held, only to be stopped by a group of Diamond Dog guards. After successfully bucking them into submission, the group charges into the dogs' lair, only to be met by Rarity's frazzled captors. The dogs demand that they take Rarity back, as they can no longer take her whining and complaining. Rarity arrives, stating that her friends are just in time to help her carry the huge cartfuls of jewels she's collected. As the group heads back home, with enough gems in tow to fill Sapphire's order, Rarity relates how she had the Diamond Dogs wrapped around her hoof, teaching everyone that even a ladylike pony can get herself out of a sticky situation.

=== Tropes ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E19 a Dog And Pony Show/YMMV|YMMV items can be found here]]) ===
* [[Accidental Kiss]]: Barely averted; Spike nearly kisses Applejack while in the middle of a fantasy about saving Rarity from the Diamond Dogs.
* [[Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking]]: After the Diamond Dogs have kidnapped Rarity and attempted to make her their slave, one of them "calls her ugly," prompting a look from one of the others that just screams, "[[Even Evil Has Standards|What the hay, man?]]"
* [[Badass Adorable]]: A rare time Spike shows impressive physical prowess, managing to briefly take on all three Diamond Dogs so Rarity could escape. The effort was all for nothing, though still somewhat worthy of this trope.
* [[Beneath the Earth]]: Where the Diamond Dogs live.
Line 47:
* [[Deadpan Snarker]]: If Rarity isn't [[Pity the Kidnapper|torturing the Diamond Dogs]], she's snarking at them. Sometimes she does both at the same time.
* [[Distressed Damsel]]: Played with; this is how the others picture Rarity in their [[Imagine Spot|Imagine Spots]]. {{spoiler|In truth, Rarity had her kidnappers "wrapped around her hoof the whole time."}}
* [[Does This Remind You of Anything?]]: A bunch of thugs kidnap a beautiful woman and force her to perform services, while referring to her as "precious" and drooling over her talents... sounds a lot like sexual slavery, doesn't it?
* [[Even Evil Has Standards]]: Spot gets noticeably upset with Rover when the latter calls Rarity "ugly"
* [[Even the Girls Want Her]]: Sapphire Shores is not surprised to see a mare apparently swooning over her.
Line 72:
* [[Offscreen Teleportation]]: The Diamond Dogs move instantly between the holes in the ground when they're keeping the ponies from entering them.
* [[Oh Crap]]: The Diamond Dogs when they realize Rarity hadn't even BEGUN to whine.
* [[One
* [[Pity the Kidnapper]]: [[Invoked Trope|Invoked]] by Rarity when she discovered her complaining seriously annoys the Diamond Dogs. So she takes it [[Up to Eleven]] to be as annoying as she possibly can on purpose.
* [[Pre
{{quote| '''Applejack:''' If you can take this bull by the horns, you better be ready for a ride!}}
* [[Quit Your Whining]]: The Diamond Dogs to Rarity's complaining and her actual "whining".
Line 85:
** The episode is basically one long homage to [[O Henry|O. Henry]]'s classic story "[http://www.online-literature.com/donne/1041/ The Ransom of Red Chief]".
** [[The Simpsons (Animation)|"Unleash the Hounds!"]]
* [[Title Drop]]: The wording is ''slightly'' off, so it's a lot more subtle than, say, [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E18 The Show Stoppers|"The Show Stoppers"]], but the Diamond Dogs call Rarity "''[their]'' precious ''little pony''".
* [[Troll]]: Rarity. She outwits the Diamond Dogs by trolling them so hard that they beg her friends to take her away.
* [[Well See About That]]: The Diamond Dogs block off the holes that lead to their lair and Applejack says that they can't muscle through it. Rainbow Dash replies "We'll see about that." {{spoiler|They can't.}}
* [[What Kept You?]]: By the time the heroes arrive to save her, Rarity has already saved herself and subdued the Diamond Dogs.
* [[You Need a Breath Mint]]:
