| 1 | * AccidentalAesop: Sleep deprivation makes you a silly pony. ...But seriously: don't overwork yourself. Listen to your body and take a break when needed. |
| 2 | * AccidentalInnuendo: "Are you saying my mouth is making promises my legs can't keep?" |
| 3 | * FridgeLogic: Applejack totally wore herself out harvesting what turned out to be only half of all the apples. Yet, it's implied that she could have handled it normally if she had been helped by just one pony (Big Mac). While two ponies might be more than just twice as effective as one, it's still odd that two of them could have handled twice the load that was way too much for one. |
| 4 | * HilariousInHindsight: Ashleigh Ball would learn this exact same lesson again in ''WesternAnimation/DinoTrux'', where it was taught by Andrew Francis, ie. Twilight's brother. |
| 5 | * JerkassWoobie: Applejack's stubbornness and arrogance lead her to work herself into a disoriented wreck, causing a lot of collateral damage in the process. By the end of the episode, her strain and symptoms become unsettlingly realistic (if still humorous) and you end up feeling for her when she reaches the point where she doesn't just cave in to Twilight's offer but outright ''begs for it''. |
| 6 | * MemeticMutation: |
| 7 | ** [=DashFace=] (a.k.a. the "SO AWESOME!" face, or Why Wub Woo, the overly cute face Rainbow Dash makes in her speech) |
| 8 | ** Derpy's {{Fanon}} love of muffins came from this episode where [[BeamMeUpScotty she's one of three ponies]] to say "Muffiiiins!" during the muffins scene. |
| 9 | ** Applejack going "Oooooo!" has become rather popular. |
| 10 | * NeverLiveItDown: |
| 11 | ** Big Macintosh is often drawn in fanart with a straw in his mouth, despite never doing it after this episode. It probably helps that he's [[EarlyInstallmentWeirdness unusually chatty here]]. |
| 12 | ** One background pony says "Muffins" as part of a large crowd of people looking forwards to eating them. She (given the FanNickname "Derpy Hooves") was characterized in {{Fanon}} as having muffins as her TrademarkFavoriteFood, which was later made canon, along with her official name being Muffins. |
| 13 | * {{Squick}}: Spike finds the "baked bads" delicious. He even picks them ''from the trash.'' |
| 14 | * TheWoobie: Subtle and (most probably) unintentional, but right at the end of the episode Applejack says to the other main cast: "But the real award is having you five as my friends." Right at that moment Spike walks into the frame, and you would expect Applejack to acknowledge him too... but she says nothing. |
