* HeartwarmingInHindsight: Pinkie's interactions with the twins and her learning about the responsibility of taking care of them becomes even sweeter when in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS9E26TheLastProblem the distant finale]], she has a child of her own.
* HilariousInHindsight: Twilight bluntly telling Pinkie that she didn't think she could handle it and offering to help. Come Season 7 where Twilight is proved an even bigger disaster at babysitting than Pinkie.

Added DiffLines:

* IKnewIt: The brief touch on pony genetics in the ColdOpen confirms the fan theory (backed by comments from Creator/LaurenFaust) that the different ponies can interbreed, and have a child from different type. {{Fanon}} examples of that theory include Berry Punch & Ruby Pinch and the Derpy/Dinky family.

* FridgeLogic: If you listen to Mr. Cake's explanation, it doesn't actually make sense - while he has unicorn ancestry, his wife does not, in fact, have pegasus ancestry, as the "relative" in question was not actually her ancestor, but a very distant cousin.

Added DiffLines:

* MisaimedFandom: The "Piggy Dance" song is meant as a jab at repetitive, inane songs from other shows for small children that the showrunners consider themselves above. Most people don't get it and take it at face value, enjoying it and wishing the Cake twins did too.

Tastes Like Diabetes is no longer a trope. Moving examples to other tropes when applicable.


* TastesLikeDiabetes:
** A majority (if not all) of the episode can be considered this, with the only notable exception being the MissingChild moment when Pinkie loses the babies. Leavened by the humor factor involved in Pinkie's existence.
** The show's crew has confirmed that the pig song is a spoof of other kids shows' tendencies that they consider themselves above.

* TearJerker: Oh god.....Pinkie Pie's crying may be over the top most of the time, but her crying in this episode is particularly emotional and this time played for drama.

Added DiffLines:

* TheWoobie: Pinkie just wanted to spend more time with the twins - who she clearly adores. She learns how stressful it is taking care of them, and she's even resorted to yelling at them before she ultimately bursts into tears at the whole thing.
