| 2 | * AccidentalAesop: Social trial and error can sometimes lead to friendship. |
| 3 | * AccidentalInnuendo: A cow who drinks milk would be like a grown woman who drinks breast milk. |
| 4 | * BaseBreakingCharacter: Pinkie's InnocentlyInsensitive behavior toward Cranky Doodle Donkey. For some it's hilarious whereas for others it's disturbing and annoying. |
| 5 | * BigLippedAlligatorMoment: The episode opens with Pinkie suiting up in a leotard, leg warmers and headband and doing a ''Film/{{Flashdance}}'' routine for the Cake twins. Aside from having Pinkie in it, it has ''absolutely nothing'' to do with the rest of the episode. |
| 6 | * BrokenBase: The whole episode (yes, ''another'' one). Putting aside [[SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic Pinkie's song,]] you either love this episode because it delves into surprisingly mature (by this show's standards) territory and its hilarious WesternAnimation/LooneyTunes-esque gags, or you hate it because it turns Pinkie into an unlikable [[ManChild MareFilly]] and having an [[DeusExMachina ultra-contrived]] happy ending. |

| 8 | * HilariousInHindsight: |
| 9 | ** The fact that Cranky is supposed to be an {{expy}} of [[Franchise/WinnieThePooh Eeyore]] is much, ''much'' funnier to those who have seen the ''WesternAnimation/{{Mad}}'' episode "The Adjustment Burro". |
| 10 | ** Pinkie meets her double during the musical number. [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E3TooManyPinkiePies The following season...]] |
| 11 | * IKnewIt: Fans guessed that Pinkie Pie's "Smile Song" would be in this episode, and they were right! Granted, a bunch had also guessed the song would appear in "Baby Cakes", which was of course disproved. This episode was just the next Pinkie episode on the list. |
| 12 | * JerkassWoobie: Cranky Doodle Donkey. Even if his name fits the bill, you can't help but feel sorry for him when he goes through Pinkie constantly, though unintentionally, humiliating him. |
| 13 | * NightmareFuel: |
| 14 | ** The scene where Pinkie sticks her eyeball through the lock... GAAAAH! |
| 15 | ** Also, the dough-Pinkie, with black holes where her eyes should be. Then Pinkie ''eats'' Dough!Pinkie. |
| 16 | * {{Padding}}: As awesome a song as "Smile Smile Smile" is, did it really need three and a half minutes of screentime just to re-iterate that Pinkie Pie is friendly and nice? |
| 17 | * ParanoiaFuel: Pinkie Pie's mission to get to know everypony in Ponyville. This takes a drastic turn when she obsesses over Cranky. |
