My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S2/E07 May the Best Pet Win: Difference between revisions

* [[Misplaced Wildlife]]: Fluttershy has an otter and a seal among the woodland critters she cares for. The otter might very well be a river otter, and thus have an excuse. The seal, however, has no excuse for its presence far from any ocean.

** Well, there are three seal species that live in freshwater. However, they all live exclusively in one lake, lake Saimaa, lake Ladoga and lake Baikal, for the Saimaa seal, Ladoga seal and Baikal seal, respectively.

{{quote| '''Rainbow Dash:''' The bat would be awesome, but the wasp I'm digging too. Do you have something in a yellow-striped bat?}}

* [[Mood Whiplash]]: Rainbow Dash is flying along in the race, being awesome and cocky as usual… hits the side of the gorge, pretty standard… starts an avalanche, nothing she can't handle…and then she's stuck at the bottom of the gorge with her wing pinned under a rock, crying out "Don't leave me!" to the competing pets.

** Characters calling the tortoise a turtle, then being corrected.

* [[Sand Worm]]: The [[Punny Name|"Quarray eels"]].

** Judging by the telltale magical aura around it, {{spoiler|Tank's flying machine}} has been [[Magitek|enchanted]].

* [[Shaped Like Itself]]: "I can't be stuck here forever! It's like...''forever!''"

** When discussing the turtle at the end of the episode, one of the ponies exclaims "He shows such... tenacity!" immediately followed by "He's like a tank!" In [[World of Warcraft]], a Tenacity-spec hunter pet is one that takes on the [[Stone Wall|role of a tank]]. And turtles are the most common example of this type of pet.

** The duck during the radical skills challenge looks a lot like [[Looney Tunes|Daffy Duck]] doing one of his famous dance routines in that [[Nice Hat]].

** When Dash takes off near the ground, she leaves behind [[Back to The Future|two flaming trails of rainbow fire]] and also weaves through her potential pets in the style of a [[Tron|lightcycle]].

** Fluttershy's "[[Looney Tunes|puddy tat]]."

* [[Simple Yet Awesome]]: Again, several of the pet candidates could pull this to impress Rainbow Dash. Who would have guessed that a bald eagle could knit a sweater so fast?

* [[Somewhere an Ornithologist Is Crying]]: This episode falls for the common trap of giving a bald eagle the red-tailed hawk's screech, at least twice.
