** Why have the ponies of Ponyville always been late for spring? Maybe it's [[EarWorm the song]] that they insist on singing year after year. They just can't concentrate.

* EarWorm: Say it with us! ''Winter Wrap Up! Winter Wrap Up!''
** It later turns out not even [[spoiler:Discord]] can resist it.
** We also get "Fruit bat roundup, fruit bat roundup!" to the tune of this song in season four. The production team definitely knows what their best song is.

* MemeticMutation: Rainbow Dash's mention of a pegasus named Ditzy Doo who screwed up the bird migration last year got many fans suspecting this was actually Derpy Hooves' real name, and it remains a popular choice for people who find her fan name offensive.

* AccidentalAesop: The main focus seems to be on Twilight realising everyone has a talent and unique place. However, we also learn that within all of Twilight's angst of her screwing up the ceremony, ''every single other pony'' has been doing just as bad as her, and the supposedly blissful Winter Wrap Up has been a disorganized mess before she even came. As such a second Aesop could be "Everyone makes mistakes, so don't feel singled out because you made one".
** [[AccidentalAesop Accidental]] BrokenAesop: Although the real lesson of the episode is "Everyone has a talent to contribute to a group effort," since Twilight's skill is organization, and she happens to be a member of the aristocracy, it can read as "The peasantry cannot organize themselves and therefore need the nobility to drive them in the right direction."

**Before it was ever stated outright, moments like this are way fans have ''always'' assumed strength to be an earth pony advantage. ''Applejack isn't actually bigger than Twilight,'' and Applejack can move the plow just fine (we don't see it ''this'' episode, but we do see it.) Twi would have to be bigger than AJ to do the ''same'' work, for some reason - and then you notice there's not a single unicorn or pegasus, not even one, among the plowing team. It's not stated outright 'til the end of season four (Celestia makes it clear that strength is part of the package earth ponies have for tending the land, which is what can be taken from them by the magic-stealing BigBad who started with unicorns but won't be ''stopping'' with them.) but it's been visible as early as this episode, number ''eleven.''

** "She's awful strong for such a little pony"...and a unicorn mare. All the other ponies pushing the snow plows are Earth pony stallions. WordOfGod states that, according to the [[MagicAIsMagicA magical rules of Equestria]], Earth ponies have greater physical strength than unicorns or pegasi, and [[TruthInTelevision stallions are typically bigger and stronger than mares]]. Applejack has every reason to wonder at Twilight's ability to even move a snow plow, let alone move it faster than the stallions.

* HarsherInHindsight: It's possible the actual reason AJ was so furious with Twilight was not so much because Twilight made a huge mess, nor exactly because Twilight used magic, but because [[spoiler: the Earth ponies who founded Ponyville were [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E11FamilyAppreciationDay her ancestors]]. Including Granny Smith who AJ clearly adores. Twilight's use of magic was not just disrespectful to tradition and to Earth ponies (who don't get near as much love as pegasi and unicorns do (from fans) due to their natural powers being more MundaneMadeAwesome SuperStrength GreenThumb abilities than InexplicablyAwesome ColourCodedMagic or {{Flight}}), but to the Apple family, particularly Granny Smith, and by extension, AJ herself, too.]]
