1* AccidentalAesop: Sort of. The reason for most of the controversy surrounding the episode is due to the Aesop being interpreted as "Don't try to figure out something you don't understand; you'll only look like an idiot" and "You should just accept what you're told and not try to test it." Some fans even took it to the point of the episode being a commentary on religion. Lauren Faust clarified the idea of the episode was meant to be "there are some things we may never understand or be able to prove, but that isn't a bad thing, mysteries like this are part of life and we just have to go with them". It should also be noted that Dave Polsky himself is an atheist who has said he believes everything is explainable by science.
2* AlternateAesopInterpretation: "The purpose of science is to find the truth, not to prove your preconceived notions correct."
3* BrokenBase: Many fans considered it the funniest episode of the season 1, but it also drew a great deal of heat due to the [[AnAesop Aesop]] being misinterpreted as being about [[ScienceIsBad religion, science and atheism.]]
4* FanNickname: "Angry Twilight" / "Fire Twilight" / "Burning Twilight" / "Raging Twilight" / [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} "Twilight Rapidash"]].
5* JerkassWoobie: Twilight becomes increasingly skeptical and frustrated in trying to use logic to figure out Pinkie's Pinkie Sense, and yet, you can't help but feel for her with all she suffers through trying to come up with an answer.
6* MemeticMutation: [[Franchise/{{Pokemon}} Congratulations! Your Twilight Sparkle has evolved into Rapidash!]] (or, alternatively, "My Little Rapidash").
7* SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound: Pinkie Pie's catch phrase for this episode - "Okey Dokey Lokey".
