History YMMV / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E14StrangerThanFanFiction

* WhatDoYouMeanItsForKids: Children are going to be confused and disappointed as to the reasons of why they can't have any Daring Do pillows like the ones they just saw in the show. And just imagine the surprise of the curious parents when they find out what kind of pillows those actually are.
** Extending on that, what kid in the target demographic is going to know what fanfiction even is?

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: This episode is a dig at fans who take the source material of things they like way too seriously (not just of this series, but anything media related be it shows, movies, books, games, etc). The intended [[AnAesop aesop]] is to teach that a difference of opinions is common in fandom, but you don't need to challenge the way anyone else likes something if you're not on the same page; a good fandom works by everyone respecting each other's opinions.

** Previously in [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E8TheLostTreasureOfGriffonstone The Lost Treasure of Griffonstone]], Twilight is disappointed that the map didn't summon her to Griffonstone. In this episode, she finally gets to go...on the day of the Daring Do convention.

* CanonFodder: Daring Do's arch nemesis is Ahuizotl, she has the Amulet of Colhuacan and the Chest of Chicomoztoc, she fended off the spirit form of Xiuhtecuhtli retrieving the amulet, the temple was guarded by the Chipactli, and there are several other references to Aztec mythology in "Daring Don't"...but if Aztec pony mythology is anything like the real thing, these barely scratch the surface.

* GeniusBonus: The Amulet of Colhuacan, the Cipactli itself and the Seven-Sided Chest of Chicomoztoc are allusions to the CreationMyth of Myth/AztecMythology.

** Body pillows of Daring Do existed long before this episode came out.

* GeniusBonus: Both the Amulet of Colhuacan, the Cipactli itself and the Seven-Sided Chest of Chicomoztoc are allusions to the CreationMyth of Myth/AztecMythology.

** Patton Oswalt has a stand-up routine in which he talks about ''My Little Pony'' and how his daughter watches it and it's one he doesn't watch with her, [[HypocriticalHumor only to very accurately recite a synopsis about the entire series pilot, plus the Cutie Mark Crusaders, with increasing enthusiasm]]. Now he's actually involved with an episode.

* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: While the nitpicking of Quibble Pants was clearly meant to be in the wrong, it's a matter of opinion if the episode succeeded in making him goofy and likeable enough to justify his rants, or if he was just an InsufferableGenius whose smugness was a tad annoying.
