3	* AdaptationDisplacement: Greg says in [[http://www.dawnsomewhere.com/2013/04/20/site-neglect/ this blog entry]] that this is happening to ''Captain Hook the Biker Gorilla'' [[note]]aka Rainbow Factory[[/note]], that an increasing number of people thinking that Greg created the story, and Aurora Dawn stole the idea from him. He attempts to rectify this by linking to the original fanfic, and vowing to credit Aurora the character as Aurora Dawn's creation every time she's used, such as in the short "Investment Losses".
4	* AlternativeCharacterInterpretation: Does Twilight refuse to acknowledge Fluttershy's existence over [[NoodleIncident something that happened in the past]] or does she really just have trouble remembering her?
5	* SugarWiki/AwesomeMusic: [[http://youtu.be/PpYAHP7YK8A Pinkie is hooked on a feeling.]]
6	** Smarty Pants' VillainSong, the colorfully titled "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7oKtZKIS-E&feature=player_embedded Bones and Skin]]".
7	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R5Tnqisce7E Rainbow Fun Factory]]".
8	** "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4mBa0civN5Y Tubby Wubby Pony Waifu]]".
9	** Hell, pretty much any song from this series, as well as a lot of the BGM from ''Mentally Advanced''. This despite Greg's admitted inability to sing. Somehow he still makes it work.
10	* CanonDefilement: There is no Sweetie Belle!
11	* CrackPairing: Greg brings this up after the end credits of episode 14, regarding some of his viewers, shipping Hastur with Fluttershy. Though he isn't against.
12	%%* CrossesTheLineTwice:
13	%%** The "Rainbow Dash presents" stories.
14	%%** The treatment of Fluttershy in this series.
15	%%* EnsembleDarkhorse: Thrackerzod and Aurora.
16	* FandomRivalry: Had a pretty big one with ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft''. Especially when the creators attempted to do a crossover and failed.
17	* GeniusBonus: There's a quite a few of them.
18	** In "Griffon the Brush-Off", Pinkie tries to spray Fluttershy with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aqua_regia aqua regia.]] Aqua regia is a highly corrosive liquid able to dissolve gold and platinum.
19	** During "Winter Wrap-Up", Twilight and Rarity's conversation is derailed by discussion of several words with "hippo" (or "hypo") in them; some of those words are rather obscure.
20	** Twilight's description of the perils of intestinal surgery is scarily accurate.
21	** Twilight says that Apple Bloom was "born from consanguineous mating".[[note]] ''Consanguineous'' comes from the Latin word for blood, and means "descended from the same ancestor". In simpler terms, she's calling Apple Bloom inbred.[[/note]]
22	* GrowingTheBeard: ''Captain Hook The Biker Gorilla'' is arguably one for ''Rainbow Dash Presents'', though others may argue ''Cupcakes'' (the preceding episode) was where the beard started to grow.
23	** For ''Mentally Advanced'' itself, Episode 3 (the Gilda episode) is where the series started to become funny, and Episode 7 ("Bridle Gossip") is the point where things really began to hum.
24	*** For the "Negative" episodes, the art quality took a ''huge'' leap between episode 4 and episode 5.
25	* HilariousInHindsight: "Rainbow Dash Presents" becomes even funnier with "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E16ReadItAndWeep Read It And Weep]]" announced.
26	** ''Rainbow Dash Presents: Captain Hook the Biker Gorilla'' begins with a TakeThat at Blog/EquestriaDaily and their bias towards ''WebVideo/FriendshipIsWitchcraft'', including the ''Film/SpaceJam'' remix of "Pinkie's Brew" making front page [[SoOkayItsAverage for no real reason]]. Eventually, a ''Film/SpaceJam'' remix of "Rainbow Fun Factory" made it to Equestria Daily's front page, perhaps as a result of said complaints.
27	*** Pretty much everything Pony-related Greg and his team make ends up on EQD's front-page nowadays, including ''Captain Hook the Biker Gorilla'', which was begrudgingly given its own post with a descriptor saying simply "You win." – apparently a number of Equestria Daily's users had also been complaining about the site's pro-''Witchcraft'' bias.
28	** ''Rainbow Dash Presents: Cupcakes'' has Pinkie cut off Rainbow Dash's wings with the intent on using them to make a hat. And now WeLoveFine has a [[http://www.welovefine.com/all-accessories/rainbowdashwingedbaseballhat-4668.html Rainbow Dash Winged Baseball Hat]] for sale.
29	*** The same video would not be the last time Blue Swede's "Hooked on a Feeling" [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy2014 would be used in a hilariously dissonant sequence]].
30	** Rarity is racist against non-Unicorns. Many fans believe her father, Hondo Flanks (FanNickname "Magnum") is an [[BoomerangBigot Earth Pony]]. Although WordOfGod has implied he is probably also a Unicorn, later confirmed in the episode "Inspiration Manifestation".
31	* JerkassWoobie:
32	** Twilight, due to her constant abuse by [[EvilOverlord Princess Celestia]].
33	** Dazzler is likely an invocation of this trope. "GET IN MY VAN!!!"
34	* MemeticMutation: [[Series/LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple "THE HEAD IS BACKWARDS!"]]
35	%%* MoralEventHorizon: [[http://petirep.deviantart.com/art/Mrs-Buzzy-Isn-t-Real-243985969 Mrs. Buzzy]]
36	* MorePopularSpinoff: ''Rainbow Dash Presents''.
37	** Not that ''Mentally Advanced'' isn't also popular. The difference could be due to MAS constantly getting pulled due to copyright trouble whereas RDP, which uses no show assets, stays online regardless.
38	* NightmareFuel: [[NightmareFuel/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries Now has its own page.]]
39	* NightmareRetardant: ''Rainbow Dash Presents'' frequently does this with the fics it parodies. A great example is the ''Fanfic/RainbowFactory'' parody, which ends with [[spoiler: the factory workers discovering that running crayons and a picture of a pony's family through the machine produces rainbows just as well. They then [[SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments let the kids go so they can see their families again.]]]]
40	-->[[spoiler: '''Surprise''': Aw man! I can't believe we're going to pony hell for nothing!]]
41	* SignatureScene: Thrackerzod's escape plan in [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n7HrijDkfHc Rainbow Dash Presents: Captain Hook the Biker Gorilla]], due to being a massive ShoutOut to ''Series/LegendsOfTheHiddenTemple''.
42	* TearJerker: [[TearJerker/MyLittlePonyTheMentallyAdvancedSeries Now has its own page.]]
43	* TheyChangedItNowItSucks: Some people claimed this over the new theme song. Perhaps telling that Greg only used it twice before dropping the idea of a theme song completely.
44	** The switch from traditional abridging to episode screenshots, done partly to speed up editing and partly to avoid copyright claims (the latter ultimately failed).
45	** Later, and more pointedly, the switch from episode screenshots to hand drawn images and/or restarting the series from the beginning. To be fair, the first of those was done out of desperation brought on by [=ContentID=] necessitating taking down the videos; the alternative would have been ending the show entirely.
46	* TheyWastedAPerfectlyGoodPlot: If Discord being [[spoiler: KilledOffForReal]] remains true, that means Fluttershy getting to help redeem him and making an actual friend for once, probably won't happen.
47	* UnexpectedCharacter: Breezen, a villain from Generation One that many viewers may have not heard of, has taken over Discord's place in the Season Two premier.
48	* TheWoobie: Even when played for laughs, Fluttershy still manages to be this.
49	%%** Aurora in ''Rainbow Dash Presents: Captain Hook the Biker Gorilla''.
