History Recap / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E15FeelingPinkieKeen

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

* CallBack[=/=]ContinuityNod: Fluttershy recites "A hop, skip and a...jump!" when leaping from a cliff to a stone pillar, the mantra Pinkie Pie taught her back in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E7Dragonshy Dragonshy]]".

* CaptainObvious: Pinkie Pie said to Twilight that when her... [[GrowlingGut well, you know]], it means that she's hungry.

** Twilight's "Latin" name for Pinkie Pie sounds like a reference to the [[WesternAnimation/WileECoyoteAndTheRoadRunner Roadrunner]] cartoons where they'd do the same, fitting since Twilight is stalking Pinkie Pie and in the process suffers much the same sort of injurious HumiliationConga Wile E. Coyote often did.
*** Nice contrast: Pinkie Pie, as usual, hops around everywhere like PepeLePew.

* SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic: Twilight's rationale for why unicorn magic is believable, and the "Pinkie Sense" isn't.

!!Tropes (YMMV items can be found [[YMMV/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E15FeelingPinkieKeen here]]):

'''Twilight Sparkle:''' Huge! For one thing...''([[SoapboxSadie stands on soapbox]])'' magic is something you study and practice. It only happens when you decide to do it. It's meant to make something specific that you want to happen happen. With you, ugh, it makes no sense at all!\\
'''Pinkie Pie:''' That's ''so'' not true, Twilight! ''(beat)'' Sometimes it's a ''bunch'' of random things happening to my body at random times that supposedly predict the future. I call 'em "combos".

!!Tropes ([[YMMV/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E15FeelingPinkieKeen YMMV items can be found here]]):

* AscendedMeme: This would be the first episode (and generally at least once in every following episode to date) where Derpy Hooves is present with the derped eyes that she was accidentally given in the very first episode "Mare in the Moon". She had appeared in several episodes but lacking the derped eyes. Here, she's even given a job as a delivery pony, tangentially related to the fandom's take as the Ponyville mailmare.

* BurningWithAnger: Twilight Sparkle at being informed the Hydra wasn't "the doozy."

** When Pinkie mentioned the frog attached to Twilight's face
* CatchPhrase

* ForgotAboutHerPowers

* 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.
* MobileShrubbery: Twilight uses this when spying on Pinkie. Turns out that Pinkie knew all along that Twilight was spying on her but said nothing to not spoil Twilight's "fun."

* ShoutOut

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

* SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic: Twilight's rationale for why unicorn magic is believable, and the "Pinkie sense" isn't.

* BombWhistle: At the conclusion of the episode, Spike steps outside to send off the letter to Celestia, while Pinkie announces her Pinkie Sense has just detected another imminent falling object. Cue the whistle, and Spike [[DeathByLookingUp looking up in terror.]] [[spoiler: it's Celestia, who makes a controlled-if thunderously hard-landing, picks the scroll out of his claws, and takes off again. Gotcha!]]

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

** 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.

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. This could most likely be due to being overcome by fear.

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

* HadTheSillyThingInReverse: Pinkie Pie, when her doozy finishes, she changes into a lot of shapes, even causing her body to puff up like the goodyear blimp.

* ButtMonkey: Poor Twilight Sparkle. While she is this in general, she has it especially bad when she gets injured throughout this episode.

* ButtMonkey: Poor Twilight Sparkle. She gets injured throughout the episode.

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.

** Fluttershy doesn't just fly over for some reason. Though it may be justified in this case, as the last time she tried to fly when she was scared her wings locked up.

* FlowerPotDrop: When the already horribly-injured Twilight Sparkle is assuring Spike that something is not going to fall, a flowerpot then crashes on her head. [[AnvilOnHead Then an anvil.]] [[SerialEscalation Then a hay wagon]]. ''[[PianoDrop Then a grand piano]]''. They all turned out to have fallen out from a delivery truck that [[TheDitz Derpy Hooves]] was working at.

* RecycledScript: The plot resembles the WesternAnimation/{{Recess}} episode "Good Ole T.J.". [[http://youtu.be/PYjV1nzbL5c See for yourself.]]
