* WhatDoYouMeanItsNotHeinous: [[{{Squick}} There's a lot of things wrong with your hair]], Rarity. It being green is the least of them.

* AnythingYouCanDoICanDoBetter: Trixie ''claims'' to be able to do this, but Applejack is really the only one she actually manages to do the same trick, she just interfered with Rainbow Dash and Rarity's tricks to humiliate them.

* MarySue: Twilight Sparkle is the greatest most magical unicorn ever!! Anyone who dares think they are better must be evil!!!!

[[caption-width-right:300:"Behold the Great and Powerful [[TheWizardOfOz Oz]]...er...Trixie!"]]

The two unicorn lads sneak into the Everfree Forest with the intent of luring an Ursa Major to Ponyville so they can watch Trixie take one on. This proves to be a bad idea: the giant bear monster goes on a rampage, Trixie nearly panics at the sight of the beast, and when she does try to defeat it, she barely annoys it. With Ponyville at risk, Twilight finally decides to make with the magic and...lulls the Ursa to sleep by rocking it and feeding it with an improvised bottle of milk, made by telekinetically ripping open a water tower, milking a barnful of cattle, and affixing a makeshift nipple to the end. After returning the Ursa from whence it came, her friends ask how she was able to defeat a creature considered to be invincible, where Twilight reveals the titanic Ursa "Major" was only a ''baby Ursa Minor.''

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Rarity is horrified that her mane (normally purple) has been turned green. But of course there is already one pony in the audience who has green hair and is offended by this. Ironically, the otherwise identical character (named Carrot Top) usually has orange hair and only ever appears with a green mane in this scene. Even in this episode, the orange-maned version is later seen. (Maybe she dyed it after the comment earlier?)

** Oddly enough, the pony (named Carrot Top) usually has orange hair and only ever appears with a green mane in this episode.
*** Even more oddly, that same pony shows up later in the episode, this time with orange hair. (Maybe she dyed it after the comment earlier?)

* MonsterIsAMommy: The Ursa Minor is gigantic and took Twilight at her strongest to placate, much less "defeat." It's about the same size as the dragons usually depicted as the most dangerous creatures in the series. [[http://ponibooru.413chan.net/post/view/6916 The Ursa Major]] is [[AttackOfTheFiftyFootWhatever pretty much a MLP]] {{Kaiju}}. Given how protective mother bears are of their young, Ponyville is seriously lucky Twilight avoided a [[{{Beowulf}} Grendel]] [[MamaBear situation.]]

* TheExitIsThatWay: Slamming the door just created in the middle of the room isn't an effective way to make an exit.

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Rarity is horrified that her mane (normally purple) has been turned green. But of course, there is already one pony in the audience who has green hair and is offended by this.

* LetMeAtHim: Rainbow Dash tries to do this, but Applejack stops her.

->'''Rarity:''' Just because one has the ability to perform lots of magic does not make one better than the rest of us.
->'''Rainbow Dash:''' Especially when you got me around being better than the rest of us!

-->'''Snips:''' The Great and Powerful Trixie vanquished an Ursa Major. Can your Twilight claim that?
-->'''Spike:''' Oh, really? Were you guys actually there?
-->'''Snips:''' Well, uh... no, but--
-->'''Spike:''' But nothing! The proof is in the pudding!
-->'''Snails:''' Huh huh huh huh huh... I like pudding!

* [[ThirdPersonPerson Third-Person Pony]]: The Great and Powerful Trixie!

* GeniusBonus: The Ursa Minor has a noticeable group of bright stars spreading across its flank and down its tail, in a distinct "dipper" shape. In our world, the constellation of Ursa Minor (the Great Bear) contains the seven stars that make up the Big Dipper, and Ursa Minor is also known as the Little Dipper. In each astronomical Dipper, the four "bowl" stars are usually seen as part of the bear's back and body, while the three "handle" stars are the bear's tail-- just as it is in the cartoon!

* TheMagnificent: She's "The Great and Powerful" Trixie

* YouGottaHaveBlueHair: Rarity is horrified that her mane (normally purple) has been turned green. But of course there is already one pony in the audience who has naturally green hair and is offended by this.
