- Accidental Innuendo: Zecora seems to be making Viagra for birds.
- Ensemble Dark Horse: In a fandom where every background pony will be named and characterized, it took only a few hours for the community to come to agreement on the name "Allie Way" for a oddly-taller pony in the cold open
and fanart to appear. Whether she is related to Vinyl Scratch (due to the similar blue-striped hair and both being unicorn ponies) or Snails (due to the lanky appearance) still seems up in the air. - Nightmare Fuel: An ailment that gives you genius ability but that forces you to perform it indefinitely is a trope that has been used in other works with rather gruesome imagery, including Hans Christian Andersen's "The Red Shoes", the Looney Tunes short, "The Wearing of the Grin", and the Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode "Once More With Feeling".
- It also occurs in Real Life under the name of "Dancing Fever". In an eerily similar parallel to the original Cutie Pox pandemic, a town in France was wiped off the map by Dancing Fever in 1518. Also like Cutie Pox, Dancing Fever has no cure.
- Also, the actions of the Sunny Town ponies in Story of the Blanks make much more sense now.
- Suspiciously Similar Song: Listen to the music while Apple Bloom shows off her talents to all of Ponyville. Doesn't it sound a lot like John Williams' "The Cowboys Overture"?
- The Woobie: It's hard not to feel sorry for Apple Bloom, considering all she goes through in this episode
