History YMMV / FriendshipisWitchcraft

** "Talk about eye candy" comes from a WebAnimation about EyeScream from ''WebAnimation/HappyTreeFriends''. Here's a link to [[http://happytreefriends.wikia.com/wiki/Eye_Candy a page about the episode]] on [[TheWikiRule another wiki]].

* IdiotPlot: All of "Cherry Bomb". Certainly justified, as the episode makes it clear that in Equestria, [[Literature/NineteenEightyFour ignorance is considered a strength]].

* CrossesTheLineTwice:

** "Snowblind," the GagDub of ''WebAnimation/{{Snowdrop}}'', parodies the WheelchairWoobie spirit of the original by making everybody way more casually cruel to the blind filly, deliberately or [[InnocentlyInsensitive otherwise]]. Right off the bat, her teacher discusses why ''Film/{{Daredevil}}'' sets unrealistically high expectations, tells everybody to look at the board for project instructions, and reprimands Snowblind for failing art class, video production, and net sports. The audacity is so over the top it becomes twistedly funny.

* CrossesTheLineTwice: Their treatment of Raincloud, the Snooty Snark Evaders blinding Babs, the "Snowblind" segment and Twilight [[spoiler: abandoning Cadence in a cave to die of dehydration in order to marry her brother]].

* FandomNod: The Enterplay Series 2 Sweetie Belle card includes the line: "But her cutie mark acquisition program hasn't seen much success".

* ParodySue: Princess Notevil Goodpony is a world-peace advocate, an organ donor, a childrens' book author, and the freely-elected leader of her own country. Being an {{Only Sane Ma|n}}re unfortunately doesn't grant her an ounce of protection from the CrapsackWorld.

* ValuesDissonance:
** Jenny regrets the jokes about Pinkie Pie being a "gypsy", which was intended to reference the horse breed [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gypsy_horse Irish Cob]] and be a ShoutOut to ''WesternAnimation/{{The Hunchback of Notre Dame|Disney}}.'' "Gypsy" being an ethnic slur for Romani people was not commonly known in the US until recent years, so a RunningGag that she and her co-writer once thought was harmless is still out there and being circulated as a trend on [=TikTok=].
** Molestia. Funny and relevant back in 2012. In 2020? ''Very'' dated, and the jokes of a person in power sexually abusing their subjects is much less acceptable than it was at the time. It doesn't help that Creator/NicoleOliver, Celestia's VA, is a [[DiscreditedMeme vocal opponent of such depiction]].

* WeirdAlEffect: Fans who haven't heard of Bubba Sparxxx may assume that "Booty, booty, booty, booty, rockin' everywhere" originated from the episode "Foaly Matripony", and not Bubba's song "Ms. New Booty".

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: The [[ShowWithinAShow ''Snowblind'' film]] in "Seed No Evil" delivers a sorely-needed aesop. Under all the layers of BlackComedy and [[SadistShow abuse]] Snowblind gets, there's a surprisingly poignant message about disabled people. That [[InspirationallyDisadvantaged whether through condescension or cruelty, special treatment can be equally disrespectful]], exemplified in her speech to the class.
--> '''Snowblind''': I don't want to accept the bad life I've been handed. From now on if I want something, I'm going to take it! I don't want to go to clown school, or end up as some lonely, middle-aged elementary school teacher; unfulfilled and wondering how I let my life get this way. I'm not some Christmas-special martyr, here to make you feel better about yourselves!

* "Booty, booty, booty, booty, rockin' everywhere!"

** Also, Fluttershy initially doesn't want Pinkie Pie to sing her a song in "Dragone Baby Gone". But then all the sudden, she gets over her fears and jumps the cavern. Why? Because why wouldn't a girl upset about confronting her abusive father feel better after hearing about having both your parents die.

** [[https://youtu.be/gyqz2jQnSFo I can't wait]] from ''[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls2013 Horse Women]]'' about how high school is so much better than being a magical princess.

** Twilight refers to Spike as a dog in "Star Waving Mad" as a random insult. [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyEquestriaGirls2013 Then he actually becomes a dog.]]
