* RockThemeNaming: Family members are all named after kinds of earthen materials -- Pinkamena (Pinky) Igneous Rock, Cloudy Quartz, Limestone and Marble. Even Maud fits, because with some English accents, "Maud" is pronounced close to "Mud". Fitting, since they're rock farmers.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Beneath their cold, serious, strict and authoritative demeanor, they truly love all of their daughters equally and care for them a lot, even Pinkie Pie hersel.

* JerkWithAHeartOfGold: Beneath their cold, serious, strict and authoritative demeanor, they truly love all of their daughters equally and care for them a lot, even [[BlackSheep Pinkie Pie herself]].

* CatchPhrase: "Eeyup" and "Nope."

* CatchPhrase: "Move your caboose!"

* {{Catchphrase}}: "AAAAAAPPLE-''LOOSA!''" (''whinny'')

* MadLibsCatchphrase: She oftens says "Now ''that's'' how ya-" (run an errand, make an entrance, etc).

* CatchPhrase: "Twily!"

* CatchPhrase: "Mm-hmm".

* BadassNormal: Sort of fits this trope in a way. He is just a Unicorn but his sister, wife and daughter are all Alicorns. Despite this, he can keep up with them fairly well and also has one of the most powerful protection spells in all of Equestria.

* BrainwashedBride: A gender-flipped version occurs in "A Canterlot Wedding". The Changeling queen, Chrysalis, shapeshifts into the bride, Cadence, and brainwashes him to keep him from figuring out.

* SuddenlyVoiced: In Issue #86 of the comics. She is ''far'' more vocal than she ever was in the show.

* ADayInTheLimelight: [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicIDWIssue86 Issue #86]] of the comics revolves around her throwing a party to make new friends, but needing help after accidentally inviting 200 guests.

* TheCameo: Hondo is seen fishing in the background of the episode "One Bad Apple", and both are seen at the Ponyville Foal and Filly Fair (minus their vacation clothes and thus actually showing Hondo's horn) in "Inspiration Manifestation". They are also seen giving the Cutie Mark Crusaders a wagon ride in "A Hearth's Warming Tail".

An older male relative of Rainbow Dash's who appears briefly in a flashback and in the last scene if the third Hearth's Warming Eve special. He is a lavender stallion with a rainbow mane.

An earth pony with buck teeth who wears a trucker cap with a turnip on it and a dirty white T-shirt. His cutie mark is three turnips. Hayseed works as a window washer in Canterlot in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E9SweetAndElite Sweet and Elite]]" and appears in Ponyville in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E6SleeplessInPonyville Sleepless in Ponyville]]". "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS3E9AppleFamilyReunion Apple Family Reunion]]" sees him attending said reunion and even being included in the family photo, revealing him to be part of the Apple Family. While not the brightest, he appears to be nice, greeting and complimenting Rarity when he sees her. In the ExpandedUniverse, a short feature in Creator/IDWPublishing's ''ComicBook/MyLittlePonyMicroSeries'' Issue #3 suggests that he started working in Ponyville, had a crush on Rarity but couldn't get her affection, and so moved to Canterlot to start his own business to be able to show his success to her.

%%* CurtainsMatchTheWindow
* {{Determinator}}: The reason he's in Canterlot is so he can work hard and be a successful guy that can also impress Rarity.
* DidNotGetTheGirl: His back story states he has a crush of Rarity but he could never get her attention.

* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: After Jet Set and Upper Crust insult Rarity's fashion and walk off with their noses in the air, Hayseed waves good bye to them, saying to Rarity, "Well they seemed real nice!"

* NiceGuy: Friendly to Rarity and doesn't hold a grudge against Jet Set and Upper Crust.

* SignatureHeadgear: His trucker cap.

* UnsportsmanlikeGloating: Rainbow Dash says their constant cheering for her got worse when she finally started winning competitions. They cheered for their daughter, saying things along the lines of "you showed them", embarrassing Rainbow Dash and not at all helping her popularity with the other colts and fillies...

* CharlesAtlasSuperpower: All that farm work over the years has made him into one of the physically strongest characters on the show. He can buck a tree with a tap of one hoof and provides most of the muscle when raising a barn. Exaggerated when he's under the influence of Love Potion (actually Love Poison): while Cheerilee is powered up enough to effortlessly smash through doors, Big Mac is strong enough to ''rip a two-story house out of its foundations'' without hardly missing a step. [[RuleOfFunny But for some reason]] he has trouble merely ''walking'' with a large cake on his back -- although that may be more a matter of balance than strength...

* NobodyCallsMeChicken: In "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E15TheSuperSpeedyCiderSqueezy6000 The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000]]", with a camera angle ripped straight out of ''Film/BackToTheFuture'', no less.
