History YMMV / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS5E6AppleoosasMostWanted

* TheWoobie: Troubleshoes has been miserable ever since he got his cutie mark, simply because he interpreted it in a negative way.

* AccidentalAesop: The CMC showed [[EverybodyHasStandards conflict]] about earning their cutie marks in Justice by sending [[MisunderstoodLonerWithAHeartOfGold an essentially innocent pony]] behind bars. This just goes to show that nothing you want is ever worth [[MiscarriageOfJustice sending an innocent to prison]].

* EsotericHappyEnding: Troubleshoes isn't actually good at comedy; he's just particularly klutzy and people laugh at him. Whereas most cutie marks we've seen appear in the wake of an epiphany regarding what a pony wants to do in life, Troubleshoes' mark directly contradicts his dream to be a rodeo star, and most of his life is spent in absolute misery. Despite his acceptance of his "talent" in the end, this casts a perpetual shadow over the existence of cutie marks as a whole.

* AuthorsSavingThrow: Troubleshoes isn't the first pony to be characterized as a klutz. Interpreting his klutziness as a talent seems to be an attempt at making a certain gray/blond pegasus mare look more acceptable to viewers who took offense to her initial characterization.

** Imagine if Troubleshoes ended up in that Cutie-mark removing village in the season opener! He would be ''everything'' someone like Starlight Glimmer would want in a follower, and he'd be all too happy to ditch a "bad luck" Cutie Mark and embrace the town's idea of equality. Worse, he would oppose the Mane Six's attempts to undo her spell. Alternatively, he's one of the more demonstrable examples of cutie marks being negative things.

* WhatAnIdiot: Applejack strongly considers taking the Cutie Mark Crusaders back home on the premonition that Troubleshoes is a dangerous outlaw. She gets talked out of it by Braeburn and the Crusaders sneak off at the first opportunity they get.

* TearJerker: When you think about it, all of his life up until now, Troubleshoe has been living a life of sorrow, because he's bad luck incarnite, and he thinks everyone laughs at him and he's viewed as a dangerous outlaw all because of his "talent". It also has to be hard living with bad luck too, considering what happens when he finds the CMC in his home.

* CounterpartComparison: Troubleshoes can be compared to Disney/WreckItRalph. Both of them are huge fellows who are treated as bad guys because of their tendency to destroy things, even when they don't mean to. As a result, they're both lonely and initially have a jaded personality, but they're actually nice guys. It takes a meeting and forming a friendship with a small girl for each of them to realize that their ability to break things can have a practical purpose.
* EsotericHappyEnding: Troubleshoes isn't actually good at comedy; he's just particularly klutzy and people laugh at him. Whereas most cutie marks we've seen appear in the wake of an epiphany regarding what a pony wants to do in life, Troubleshoes' mark directly contradicts his dream to be a rodeo star, and most of his life is spent in absolute misery. Despite his acceptance of his "talent" in the end, this is actually a very sad episode, and casts a perpetual shadow over the existence of cutie marks as a whole.

* FridgeHorror: The way Troubleshoes learns to use his klutziness for entertainment is not that different from how comedians use [[SadClown their depression]] and self-hatred for SelfDeprecation-based humour. It doesn’t mean the depression goes away, though, and sometimes it has [[DrivenToSuicide catastrophic results]].

* WhatAnIdiot: Applejack strongly considers taking the Cutie Mark Crusaders back home on the premonition that Troubleshoes is a dangerous outlaw. Not only is she talked out of it by Braeburn, she ''trusts him enough to watch over them''. Of course, the Crusaders sneak off at the first opportunity they get.
