* LetMeAtHim: Played with in "A Helping Hoof". Lightning Bliss asks Finn to hold her back from laying it on Toon Critic for making constant short jokes. However, Finn doesn't quite understand the concept and is so serviceable that anytime she yells "LET ME AT HIM!", he actually let goes of her, to Bliss's annoyance.

** Mad Munchkin: a lion version of herself
** Ink Rose: a demon hunter, which involves changing into an ''Equestria Girls'' form and wearing armor, with glowing eyes.
** KP: the "Princess of Discord", which has her don some purple apparel and surround herself in a chaos magic PowerGlow.
** Eliyora: An extremely calm forest spirit with an ''Equestria Girls'' body
** Silver Quill: An ''VideoGame/AngryBirds'' {{Expy}} who is deceptively powerful for his size; uses slingshots to launch himself at his enemies
** Golden Fox: [[Franchise/TheLegendOfZelda Link]]
** Thespio: Film/TheMask
** Jasper Pie: The [[Series/MightyMorphinPowerRangers Green Ranger]] (or [[Series/KyoryuSentaiZyuranger Dragon Ranger]], depending on which side you take in the ''Power Rangers'' vs. ''Super Sentai'' argument)
** Lightning Bliss: A dragon version of herself
** Sweetie Bloom: A ponyfied amalgam of [[Manga/SailorMoon the original five Sailor Senshi]]
** Finn: A gingerbread pony version of himself
** Keyframe: An Ubercharged version of herself
** Firebrand: Super Saiyan
* SurprisinglyRealisticOutcome: [[spoiler:Jasper tries to use his Dragon Dagger to call the Dragonzord. When it arrives on the battlefield though it shuts down almost immediately due to having been left at the bottom of the ocean for two decades, leaving it rusty and unkept.]]

* TorchesAndPitchforks: In "Power Up", both team get worked up into pulling the torches and gazoline on learning that KP doesn't like video games, ready to [[BurnTheWitch burn her at the stake]]. That is, until Dr. Wolf shouts them down.

* VomitDiscretionShot: In ''[=Tf5=] "Analypsis Anorgy"'', due to a mess of typos in the script, Aramau ends up serving a smoothie composed of boop-berries, a slacked-up banana, malk, and a punch of sugar set to the "[[IAteWhat putrid]]" setting in her blender. The results -- unsurprisingly -- have her, Mad Munchkin, Lightning Bliss, British Ninja, Thespio, and Tyandaga all vomiting violently just behind the counter and out of view. This goes on for...[[OverlyLongGag quite a while]], and understandably, Voice of Reason and Jasper (the ones behind the script) believe [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere this a better time than any to bow out.]]

** Lightning Bliss and Keyframe deal with Dr. Wolfs' sentry nest in much the same way as was done in "Sentry Knockback" from ''Machinima/TeamServiceAnnouncement''.

Members of the BLU Team include [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCpRLi63Nu9KZuEFvHvdGprQ Keyframe]] as the Medic, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/barkbitstaketwo Sweetie Bloom]] as the Demopony, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/GoldenFox17 GoldenFox]] as the Sniper, [[https://www.youtube.com/user/e1d2k Lightning Bliss]] as the Heavy, [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCqAZvOTXWHACXIi2k6n5p9w FinnThePony]] as the Engineer, and [[https://www.youtube.com/user/DaWillstanator Thespio]] as the Spy. [=ToonKriticY2K=] was originally the Soldier, but later [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBduYySYyu0 switched classes to Pyro]]. However, as of late January 2018, he has been banned from the project and the MLP analysis community at large in the wake of [[RoleEndingMisdemeanor him being outed as a sexual predator/pedophile]], and his character was written out. WebAnimation/ILoveKimPossibleAlot originally played the Scout, but was removed from the project due to conflicts with the rest of the team. The role of Soldier has been taken by [[https://www.youtube.com/user/trainlover476 Jasper Pie]] as of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0_k-ip45MW0 "Saving Private Jasper"]], while Tyandaga later [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pM_FNvkknKE took up the role of Pyro]] in July 2019, finally giving both teams a full roster.

Following the release of the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TpvbuO4dHTY "Red vs. Blue"]] saga, Sweetie Bloom and Silver Quill announced they would be stepping down from the project, leaving the door open for a new BLU Demopony and RED Heavy respectively. As of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PEkyDD5Y74w "Aftermath"]], [=AnY=] and Keyframe have also retired from the project, leaving th door open for a new RED Demopony and BLU Medic respectively.

** Silver Quill (RED Heavy I) and Sweetie Bloom (BLU Demoman I) both left following the conclusion of the "Red vs. Blue" saga in 2020, ostensibly due to being burned-out. It is rumored that [=IHeartKimPossibleALot=] (BLU Scout I) had left before the saga, explaining her absence (with a few fans believing she would be outed as a [[TheMole mole]] for Mann Co.). When the April Fool's Day 2021 video was released, many fans noticed [=AnY=] (RED Demoman I) was also missing, the RED Demoman's role in the "Heavy Is Dead!" parody being played by Abbey instead.

* AprilFools: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRMPD2nuQ68 "TF2 Analysis: Royal Rumble!"]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=osWIRDU3Zv8&list=PL4flTJfGvAgcn_8ljwuKV-c3Yq-Kcr5B6&index=39 The Analysis Zone]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-gzldHimEZo&list=PL4flTJfGvAgcn_8ljwuKV-c3Yq-Kcr5B6&index=67 I Ship It]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dKsENEiKDRc&list=PL4flTJfGvAgcn_8ljwuKV-c3Yq-Kcr5B6&index=141 The Blissy Is Booped]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vE0VhCfhA6Q Analypsis Anorgy]].
* AprilFoolsPlot: "Analypsis Anorgy", Voice was in charge of writing the episode's script, but forgot to do it, so he has Jasper whip up a script in 5 seconds and gets Mary Sue to have everyone read said script. Since Jasper had to write the script in a ''ridiculously'' short amount of time and he attempted to type with his hooves, the result is everyone speaking in horrificly mangled English, barring Jasper and Voice.

** Eliyora sometimes falls here. Firebrand had to explain to her what using her flamethrower safely meant... in that she did not understand the word "safely". Bonus points in that she has an actual axe as a melee weapon.

* ElongatingArmGag: At the end of "Inglorious Jasper", Jasper cartoonishly extends his front limbs to gather the whole of BLU team in a GroupHug, willing or not (except for KP and [=GoldenFox=], who had the presence of mind to get out Dodge soon enough).

* JawDrop: In "Great Scott, This Is Heavy!" Dr. Wolf gives three big epic ones throughout the episode. The first one was after Lightning Bliss called Dr. Wolf a "mutt." The second one was when everyone was watching the fight between Dragon Lightning Bliss and Angry Bird Silver Quill, and Sweetie Bloom says "I'd ship it." And the third one was when Dr. Wolf hears Firebrand and Keyframe saying that they're actually gonna encourage the fight.

* LeftTheBackgroundMusicOn: During "Mission Unpossible" Silver Quill is forced to go through a laser grid after the rest of his group. During this the ''Mission Impossible'' theme is hummed -- turns out it's a bored Lightning Bliss over the comm channels "amusing herself".

* OhCrap: Firebrand's immediate reaction to seeing that [=GoldenFox=]'s super form turns him into Link, is to freak out and tell everybody to hide the pottery... not without good reason though, as Golden suddenly has a powerful urge to go looking for some ceramics.
** [[spoiler:In ''Red vs Blue Part 4'', Dr. Wolf has one when he sees the ''freaking huge'' army of robots Antony C. brought with him to annihilate Coaltown, including at least three Tanks and another Carrier as their spawn. One can only imagine what the reactions from the others will be once they return and see what they'll need their SuperMode for to stop it.]]

* OrwellianRetcon: In the wake of the [=ToonKriticY2K=] scandal, the initial plan was to keep him in 2018 episodes that had already been completed, and then write him out when those were all released. Ultimately, though, the decision was made to take a hacksaw to the episodes he was in and edit him out completely. And judging by the episodes that have been released so far, they've done a very good job seemlessly editing him out, to the point you wouldn't know he was supposed to be there in the first place (though there are a few dodgy cuts here and there, such as one frame in "Saving Private Jasper" in which Firebrand appears to move back, possibly to have an exchange with Toon).

* PunchedAcrossTheRoom: Firebrand gets launched ''clean across the map'' after taking a punch to the face from [[spoiler: Dustykatt]].

** [=ToonKriticY2K=] (BLU Soldier I/BLU Pyro I) became an {{Unperson}} in this series and the entire Brony community after...[[RuleOfCautiousEditingJudgement certain revelations that upended the entire fandom]].

* RedHerring: Several comments by Vector Brony implied that [[spoiler: the robots were his.]] As it turned out, [[spoiler: Lily Peet was actually the master of the robots.]] Strangely, Vector kept making comments like this even after TheReveal. Averted now, with the release of [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=So06SxSlfww "Asking for the Moon"]] it turns out that Vector really was behind the robots!

* SequelHook: "Seven Nation Army" Part 4 ends with [[spoiler: Dusty revealing that the robots were not his, and they were only there by happy coincidence. Adding to this is Seven Nation Army Epilogue showing [=AntonyC=] forming an alliance with Lily Peet, the robots' creator.]]

** When Eliyora has the Pyro goggles stuck to her head, Ink tells Mary Sue to push a button that says "Deafcon 451" -obviously named after ''Literature/Fahrenheit451''.
