* WhamLine: One piece of narration prior to TheReveal turns a seemingly simple one-shot into the start of a bigger story:

-->What she saw in there nearly caused her to drop the book on the floor.

* WimpFight: When Discord and Pinkie finally face off, the first thing they do is engage in a comically ineffective slap-fight while calling each other names. Only after several minutes of that do they start the proper magic duel. Of course, both of them only did it because they thought it would be funny.
