*** In the same episode, Diamond Tiara remarks that "As long as my mom doesn't get drunk and starting singing Music/SmashMouth again, this is going to be my best Mark Mitzvah ever." Sure enough, when the party begins, we can hear an adult female pony drunkenly performing "All Star" in the background.

* PaperThinDisguise: [[AC:Sweetie Belle is best sentient organic life form. Hooray!]]Hooray!]] Although in this case, Sweetie Belle doesn't realize she's a robot (because robots genuinely believe themselves to be real ponies), so the flimsy disguise is also fooling ''herself.'' What makes it even funnier is that despite Sweetie Belle's status a robot being ludicrously obvious (from her MachineMonotone to her computer-based vocabulary to water making her "feel funny"), there's not a single pony in all of Equestria who catches on.

* AndroidsArePeopleToo: This is {{lampshaded}} when Twist answers Cheerilee's question about the difference between robots and androids: "Robots don't have souls." Whether Sweetie Belle is a robot or an android is never made clear in the series, but she is written as more sympathetic than the mane characters, and she does mention [[DoAndroidsDream seeing sheep in her dreams]].

The team have an old [[https://www.youtube.com/user/SherclopPones Youtube]] channel, though now updates are done [[https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCJI4dS-3rg-VrlN8kfSMQnw here]]. Like most [=MLP=] abridged series, ''Friendship Is Witchcraft'' has run into issues with copyright claims from Creator/{{Hasbro}} (the real one), resulting in their videos on Website/YouTube being blocked to U.S. audiences for an indefinite period of time (remind you of [[Creator/LittleKuriboh anyone?]]). An attempt was made to move the series to Platform/{{Vimeo}}, but those videos ended up being blocked as well (for those wanting to see the series, mirror sites are available). Despite this, the creators insist that the series is not dead. Both creators have launched side projects, available for viewing on their Youtube channel: Jenny's "Kimi Sparkle" series, a parody of WebVideo/MLPAnalysis videos, and Griffin's "Silver Spoon Escapes from Camp Energy", a LetsPlay of {{VideoGame/Limbo}} done as a series of largely improvised stream-of-consciousness ramblings done in character as Silver Spoon. They have also started a multi-part series based ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls'', entitled ''Horse Women''.

Citing reasons like "being genuinely tired of doing the same show for several years" and "we want to do other things too", the creators put the project on a hiatus. In early 2016, they released part 2 of ''Horse Women,'' but it's unlikely that the show will return again any time soon given that both creators began developing their own solo projects in the interim: Jenny with her Website/YouTube channel, Griffin with his Fandroid persona and associated Website/YouTube channels.

* StrawFan: Twilight Sparkle and Princess Molestia/Luna are caricatures of anime and related media fans. Twilight Sparkle is a scatterbrained Japanophile with a viciously manipulative streak, while Molestia/Luna is a naive socially awkward weirdo. Both are into cosplay, writing fanfiction, Website/GaiaOnline, and Website/DeviantART.

* ThisLoserIsYou: Twilight appears to be a fairly lighthearted jab at the fandom, with her obssessive {{shipping}} and manipulation of characters, general nerdiness and otakudom, and AmbiguousDisorder. Her totally-not-creepy incest song is even made using popular fan art forms, including "pointy ponies" and kinetic typography.

Under all the layers of BlackComedy and [[SadistShow abuse]] Snowblind gets, there's a surprisingly poignant message about disabled people. That [[InspirationallyDisadvantaged whether through condescension or cruelty, special treatment can be equally disrespectful]], exemplified in her speech to the class.

* LuckyTranslation:
** Although the Russian translation sadly loses some of the glorious puns that this show has, the joke about Twilight (not) speaking Applenese (по-яблонски) is made even better than in the original.
** Also works similarly well in the Japanese translation, as the names of every language in Japanese ends with the sound "-go", coincidentally so does the Japanese word for "Apple" (Ringo).
