* [[SciFiWritersHave/NoSenseOfMass Sci-Fi Writers Have No Sense of Mass]]: Rarity says that Spike's fire ruby is at least twenty carats. A twenty carat ruby would weigh about four grams and would fit on a large ring. Spike's fire ruby appears to be the size of a fist. Although [[MathematiciansAnswer technically that would be larger than twenty carats.]]

* ObsessivelyOrganized: Twilight re-shelves the entire library and makes sure ladles in punch bowls are straight. She's also got a copy of ''The Art of the To-Do List''... which she sets aside to read again. Later on, she locks Spike in a different room, then [[SkewedPriorities realizes that he'll probably make a mess of the books in there by adding them to his hoard.]]

** Spike's rampage takes cues from Franchise/{{Godzilla}}, Film/KingKong, and The ComicBook/IncredibleHulk ([[HulkSpeak Spike want!]]). The Wonderbolts show up to fight him probably just because, when you have the [[Film/KingKong giant monster carrying the lady and climbing to a high place]], you [[StockParody just have to]] include the airplanes.

Added DiffLines:

* TheGlomp: When Spike gets a blanket from Applejack, he thanks her by tackle-hugging her, making her accidentally spit out an apple she was eating. While flattered, she then pushes her away because that was the 16th time he had thanked her, implying that he hugged her this way 15 times already.


Added DiffLines:

* NotHyperbole: When Rarity kisses him on the cheek, he claims that he will never wash that cheek again. Later, Twilight wants to clean it because he indeed DIDN’T wash it. He even turns his head to show dirty cheek with Rarity’s kiss mark on it, confirming that he meant it.
