* OffModel: One strange case of this actually being used for drama in a ''fanfic''. The Big Guy notices those animation errors, like Rainbow missing her wings in a frame or two, or Applejack's hat or freckles blinking out of existence. Discord is less than thrilled, and wonders if he was the cause of that dimensional instability.

* ShoutOut: The Big Guy shows them videos of G1 ''MyLittlePony''. Considering some villains from G1 showed up earlier, this is cause for concern for the ponies. The [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3 G3]] episodes are briefly mentioned as well.

** In Chapter 7, Holly Hock says that Rainbow Dash is the fastest pegasus at ground level but "There's a mare a lot faster at altitude," likely a reference to Dainty Dish from ''Fanfic/HigherFlierOrMyLittleBlackbird''.

* EntertaininglyWrong: Over the first few weeks, the Big Guy shows the ponies assorted films - from ''Disney/{{Fantasia}}'' to ''Franchise/{{Godzilla}}'' to ''Anime/SailorMoon''. At first they think that these are documentaries, and even when Rarity hypothesizes that they're just stories, Twilight scoffs at the notion.

* {{Unishment}}: When the two soldiers (and one castle chef) are briefed on why they're in Ponyville, Mile Stone chastises them, saying that they could at least ''pretend'' that they're being punished. Their 'sorries' don't sound very sincere, either.

* AntiHumor: The Big Guy likes to do this, and other subversions of classical punchlines, to Discord's horror.
-->'''Discord''': Excuse me, do you know how to get to the Albert Hall?
-->'''Big Guy''': Play at Carnegie with the queen watching would be a way.

%%** Who
followers. Better, the ponies seem to be unaware of how crucifixion actually affects humans, and never take the time to find ''out'', so not only are the they torturing him for no reason, they aren't even aware they're doing it.
** The
ponies most comfortable with the Big Guy? Guy at the beginning are Derpy and Dinky Hooves.Hooves, who would normally have been a classical example of TheIngenue. It transpires that their willingness to think in simple terms, and accept what he shows them, is what gets the Big Guy to fully appreciate them in turn.



* FreakyFridayFlip: The Big Guy and Celestia undergo this. PlayedForDrama, as neither are amused by what happened. The Big Guy, especially is furious when Luna demands that he not ruin Celestia's reputation, while Celestia is not under similar restrictions.

** This might also describe the Big Guy. If you cross him, he will ruin all your plans, set everything you know up on end, and reduce you to a wilting lily, all while smiling, talking gently, and occasionally singing.
