History Recap / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E15FeelingPinkieKeen

* TheDoorSlamsYou: Spike to Twilight. Predicted by Pinkie, of course.

* CatchPhrase: The episode appears to be trying to make "Holy guacamole" into one for Spike. Thankfully, it didn't take.

* TheDoorSlamsYou

* ForgotAboutHerPowers: Twilight could have easily teleported past the broken platforms (even though she was able to teleport out of [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E3TheTicketMaster the last adrenaline-pumping chase she was in]]). Twilight can also telekinetically carry an Ursa Minor and a water tower several miles without a line of sight but not herself for a few yards to a point she can see.

* HighPressureEmotion: Apparently Twilight evolves into [[{{Pokemon}} Rapidash]] when she's ''really'' angry.
* HumiliationConga: Twilighht is on the recieving end of one throughout the episode.

* MadeOfIron: Twilight falls down a ditch, gets slammed by doors, is stung by a swarm of angry bees, falls down a steep stairwell, then later takes a flower pot to the head, followed by an anvil, a hay cart and a piano. Still, she shakes it off within seconds and is fit as a fiddle and ready to go off on a rescue adventure. (OK, she's in bandages after a couple of these, and even ends up in a wheelchair at one point, but those are gone within a scene or two.)
** Said adventure ends with Twilight falling down a cliff, landing on a big swamp gas bubble that sends her flying until she lands on top of a stone pillar, from where she bounces onto a second pillar, ''from where she bounces a second time'' until finally crashing against a solid rock wall. After a couple of seconds, Twilight shakes her head and she's fine again.

** As a result of her HighPressureEmotion, Twilight briefly [[MemeticMutation evolves into]] [[{{Pokemon}} Rapidash]].

*** Nice contrast: Pinkie Pie, as usual, hops around everywhere like PepeLePew
** "Pinkie Sense" is named after {{Spider-Man}}'s SpiderSense.

* StrawVulcan: Twilight is so obessed with ''logic'' that she fails to see that the Pinkie Sense is a repeatable, reliable ability, that Pinkie Pie simply can't control

* SurpriseCreepy: Mostly a silly, funny episode...Then the ''hydra'' shows up. Though it has its own brand of silliness, with one of the heads being slow on the uptake.

* WhatWouldXDo: "What would a brave pony like Rainbow Dash do....? '''[[LeeroyJenkins CHARGE!]]'''"

* TheVoiceless: Derpy Hooves.

Twilight Sparkle learns that [[WrongContextMagic Pinkie Pie has an unusual ability to sense happenings in the immediate future based on twitches and tics of her body]], [[SpiderSense known as "Pinkie Sense".]] Twilight is skeptical, but much to her frustration all of Pinkie's predictions seem to come true... and even more frustrating is that they all seem to target Twilight, whether it's falling objects, slamming doors, or an alligator in the bath tub. Twilight tries to investigate Pinkie's so-called abilities, but her efforts are hampered by her own impatience and a series of slapstick disasters, all of which are seemingly predicted by the Pinkie Sense.

There's clearly a pattern going on, but Twilight stubbornly refuses to admit it. When Pinkie suddenly predicts "a doozy" of an event happening in the Froggy Bottom Bog, Twilight tags along with her friends only out of concern for Fluttershy, who had earlier gone there to help some frogs find a new home.

* FetishFuel: Pinkie's doozy finishing even includes her to puff up like the Goodyear blimp.

* SchizoTech: Twilight's basement lab, complete with flashing lights, computers, scientific equipment, and more. it fulfills the typical MadScientistLaboratory, and PlayedForLaughs.

* ArbitrarySkepticism: Twilight's dismissal of Pinkie Pie's special senses comes off as this when you consider all the fantastic things that go down in this show on a regular basis. [[LampshadeHanging Pinkie even points out]] that Twilight herself uses magic, although Twilight counters that [[MagicAIsMagicA magic just doesn't work that way]].

** And when Pinkie mentioned the frog attached to Twilight's face

* TheCuckoolanderWasRight

* ForgotAboutHerPowers: Twilight could have easily teleported past the broken platforms (even though she was able to teleport out of [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E3TheTicketMaster the last adrenaline-pumping chase she was in]]).

** Twilight not teleporting could also be justified, as when she does it in the Ticket Master she tells Spike she couldn't warn him (Spike comes out singed) because she didn't ''know'' it was going to happen. She may not be able to use that spell consciously.
** She can use it consciously she has before in the [[http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E4ApplebuckSeason 4th Ep]].
** Twilight can also telekinetically carry an Ursa Minor and a water tower several miles without a line of sight but not herself for a few yards to a point she can see.
* ForScience: A benign example, but it's still shown as the wrong approach. You just can't investigate this. You probably could make ''something'' of it with proper investigation, but that would ruin the plot.

* GravityIsAHarshMistress: Pinkie Pie shudders her way right off a cliff, only to get yanked back by Applejack. But gravity fails to grab her for long enough that you'd almost think her shudders would get her across the gap on their own.

* InstantBandages

* LeapOfFaith

* PianoDrop
* SchizoTech: Twilight's basement lab, complete with flashing lights, computers, scientific equipment, and more. Pretty much fulfills the typical MadScientistLaboratory, and most likely PlayedForLaughs.
* ScienceCannotComprehendPhlebotinum: [[AgentScully Twilight]] runs herself ragged trying to analyze/disprove Pinkie Pie's "Pinkie Sense". In the end, she gives up and admits that maybe the "Pinkie Sense" ''can't'' be analyzed (which turns out to be the "doozy" that Pinkie predicted would happen).
** The point isn't so much that it can't be analyzed, but that it ''exists'', even though Twilight doesn't understand how it works.
* SelfFulfillingProphecy: Pinkie predicts that the "doozy" was going to happen at Froggy Bottom Bog, which leads the gang to investigate there. Had they not gone to Froggy Bottom Bog, Twilight wouldn't have admitted that Pinkie Sense was real there, [[{{Irony}} which would have made her right about it in the first place]].
** Of course, that would mean that Fluttershy is probably left to the mercy of the Hydra. That could have qualified as a "doozy".

* SoapBoxSadie: Twilight stands on [[VisualPun an actual soap box]] at one point, to lecture on why her magic makes rational sense and Pinkie's "Pinkie sense" doesn't.
* SpiderSense
* StrawVulcan: Twilight

* SurpriseCreepy: Mostly a silly, funny episode...Then the ''hydra'' shows up.
** Though the hydra has its own brand of silliness, with one of the heads apparently being slow on the uptake.

* WildlifeCommentarySpoof: Twilight does one while observing Pinkie Pie. She even wears a safari hat and uses binoculars.
* WrongContextMagic: Inspired by this episode.

-->'''Pinkie Pie:''' It's my tummy! [[CaptainObvious That usually means I'm hungry]]. Let's eat!

* CaptainObvious: Pinkie Pie said to Twilight that when her tummy rumbles, it means that she's hungry.

** Twilight can also telekinetically carry an Ursa Minor several miles without a line of sight but not herself for a few yards to a point she can see.

* CanisLatinicus: Twilight is observing Pinkie Pie, scientific name ''Pinkius pieicus''[[hottip:*:guessing at the spelling]], in its natural habitat, and she totally didn't just make that up.

!!Tropes

** One of the hydra's heads having a shorter neck and acting a little sillier then the others could be a shout-out to the runt of the Black 4 from KimbaTheWhiteLion.

* MadeOfIron: Twilight falls down a ditch, gets slammed by doors, is stung by a swarm of angry bees, falls down a steep stairwell, then later takes a flower pot to the head, followed by an anvil, a hay cart and a piano. Still, she shakes it off within seconds and is fit as a fiddle and ready to go off on a rescue adventure.

*** Actually, she's covered in bumps and bruises after the bees, and in a wheelchair after the stairs. Still played straight, though.

** "Pinkie Sense" is named after SpiderMan's SpiderSense.
** The way one of the 4 heads on the hydra has a shorter neck then the others, and acts a little sillier, is very reminiscent of the runt of the panther gang [[FourMeansDeath The Black Four]] from KimbaTheWhiteLion.
