* ThreatenAllToFindOne: In the episode "Snowdrop the Abridged", someone pranks Princess Celestia by dyeing her mane and tail pink. So Celestia gathers all her suspects (who are [[InsaneTrollLogic all children, bizarrely]]) and threatens to punish them all if the culprit doesn't confess. Then the ''blind'' filly Snowdrop has the misfortune of arriving late and asking what she missed, so Celestia immediately fixates on ''her'' as the prime suspect. Fortunately, the more level-headed Princess Luna recognizes how stupid all this is, and convinces Celestia not to punish anyone.

* AdaptationalExplanation: In [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E3TheTicketMaster "The Ticket Master"]], there was no explanation for why Princess Celestia sent only two Gala tickets to Twilight, despite knowing that Twi had six friends who would potentially want to go. In the ''Scootertrix'' version of the episode, Celestia plans from the start to send tickets for all the Elements of Harmony--but only manages to send out Twilight's invitation before getting distracted by a conversation with Luna.

* CaughtMonologuing: Quite a bit in ''The Movie''. When Discord has Pinkie and Trixie trapped behind a rock, he starts monologuing about his backstory, and takes so long that Pinkie and Trixie can formulate an escape plan and logically figure out Discord's weakness while he's distracted. When the mane six put on the Elements of Harmony and face Discord, Twilight tries to give a dramatic speech—and Discord freezes them all in the middle of it.[[note]]For what it's worth, they probably wouldn't have fared any better if they had just attacked without the speech, since that's exactly what the ''UFP'' mane six did, and Discord still neutralized them.[[/note]] At the end, everypony learns a valuable lesson:

* ArduousDescentToTerraFirma: Episode 7 opens InMediasRes, with the main six at the top of Bald Mountain, about to confront a dragon. They drive away said dragon before the ColdOpen is over. Then their trip back down the mountain takes up the bulk of the episode: what should be a BoringReturnJourney instead proves surprisingly annoying, and the ponies get so lost they somehow [[GoingInCircles wind up back at the mountaintop where they started]]. Eventually Twilight [[RememberedICouldFly remembers]] that two of them are pegasi (who can just fly back) and two of them are unicorns (who can just teleport the rest of the party home).

* SarcasticConfession: Celestia drops what sounds like another weird insult at the end of episode 10--but the big reveal in episode 26 retroactively confirms she sincerely meant it. [[spoiler:To wit, in episode 10, Luna swallows her pride and asks Celestia to teach her how to pull off her apparent Chessmaster plans. Celestia flatly refuses, and her only reason why is, "I don't give ponies what they want. I give them what they ''need''." Fast forward to episode 26, when Celestia admits she's been using magic to cheat her way through ruling Equestria, and says outright the Luna always was a better leader than her. So, back in episode 10, she genuinely did mean that Luna doesn't need to learn anything about leadership, and certainly not from Celestia.]]
