General

  • Just about any of the wacky Toon Physics in this show can count.
  • Also, the expressions. The show is very expressive and animesque, so there are many funny faces that show up.
  • Anytime Pinkie Pie puffers up and inflates from excitement, and then turns into confetti dust.
  • Whenever Rarity is being overdramatic and faints on a couch that she summoned.
  • When Twilight is overwhelmed, she'll often literally break like glass, as shown in the current page image.
  • The Running Gag of Applejack being the Fourth-Wall Observer, a trait that seems to have been inherited from Pinkie.

Season 1

    Princess Probz 
  • Rarity overreacting when just one scoop of ice cream lands on her mane.
    Rarity: I will always love you, but... YOUUUU'VE RUINED MEEEEEEE!
  • In order to tell Rainbow Dash about the Royal Jelly Juggernaut, Pinkie (and soon after Twilight) drinks a telepathy potion and forces her head onto Rainbow's so that she can see her Imagine Spot.
    • In Twilight's Imagine Spot, Princess Celestia banishes Pinkie for failing the competition. The two other judges besides her are also Celestias.
  • Pinkie Pie scatting while making a cake, and then belching out "PAASTRIIIIIES" in a gruffy voice.
  • Twilight asks Pinkie if she has a plan for her audition.
    Pinkie Pie: I do! Step one. (accidently slips onto the floor) Have fun! (pan that she was holding falls on her mane) That's it. That's the only step.
  • This exchange:
    Twilight: We gotta make this place sparkling clean! Even if we have to turn it inside up and upside down.
    Pinkie: Good idea, Twilight! My pineapple upside down cake always impresses.
    Twilight: That's not what I meant.
    • Pinkie then grabs Twilight by the face, squishing her cheeks while telling her that she's brilliant without even trying.
    • And then when Twilight is let go and steps in batter, her appearance randomly resembles that of a cat. It's even funnier when you remember that Tara Strong is known for voicing another cat.
  • While Rarity talks to Pinkie, the scene goes full on Film Noir with a saxophone playing in the background as Rarity, complete with red lipstick on, describes how she gave up her life of stardom to focus on her suntan.
    Rarity: Where's that tan now? Don't ask, long story. (blows Pinkie a kiss)
    • Pinkie was the one playing the saxophone.
  • Twilight overreacting when Pinkie flips the cake she made upside down.
  • Pinkie only wanted to try out her flan recipe because it's so fun to say.
  • Rainbow Dash making a cheesy joke about the gang getting stuck in flan, much to the disappointment of her friends.
    Rainbow Dash: Looks like we're in a pretty...
    Applejack: DON'T SAY IT!
    Rainbow Dash: ...Sticky situation.
  • Applejack not being able to stop rhyming.
    Applejack: We gotta make a plan to get out of this flan! As quick as we can! Hand me that pan! ...Let's eat!
  • Pinkie Pie narrates her experience at the audition, and Princess Celestia lampshades it.
  • Princess Celestia laughing at her own cheesy joke.
    Princess Celestia: It's you who takes the cake. (snort) Hah! Did'cha get that? That's gold.

    The Best of the Worst 
  • Rainbow Dash trying to come up with a cool comeback to Dishwater Slog.
    Rainbow Dash: You'll rue the day you ever challenged Rainbow Dash! The brash! The crash! The... mustache?
  • Applejack telling the audience that the worst Rainbow's ever been is when she didn't return the book she lent her.
    • This comes up again when Applejack tries to make Rainbow mad.

    • At the end of the episode, Rainbow returns Applejack's book back to her. Dishwater then smugly looks at the audience as he says that he's read the book and that he'll spoil the ending.
  • Rainbow tries to fail decorating a cake, but Twilight being the supportive friend she is cheers her on.

      Pinkie Pie: I said PRE-HEAT, not overheat!
    • As a spacepony, Applejack opens her helmet and struggles to breath but it's just Pinkie Pie stuffing a piece of cake in her mouth.
  • Applejack pointing out the flawed logic in the alternative ponies wanting to be different and unique, yet they all look the same.
    Applejack: Not to nitpick but, acting as a group kind of negates your individua- Ahem. You know what? Yes. Yes I would.
  • Applejack wondering what happened to everypony's hats. Gummy's eating them.

  • Buttershy (who has a deadpan voice) ordering Bubbles (who exploded and blasted off from Fluttershy's cuteness) to make her laugh while she uses her tablet. As the cat screams in agony, she, still in her very deadpan voice, tells him that he's so funny.

  • After spending the whole episode freaking out and wanting to get the third bad thing out of the way before her walk with Fancy Pants, Rarity just spends a few moments with him, listening to him talk about himself, before realizing that she doesn't like him and that he was the third bad thing the whole time.
