** One crossover snippet has [[Franchise/PiratesOfTheCaribbean Captain Jack Sparrow]] defeat Nightmare Moon by trying to point out the logical impossibilities of the Night Lasting Forever. Many loops take this a step farther, where the loopers don't even bother pointing out the logical impossibilities. They just let her make her Eternal Night and deal with the consequences. These include:
*** No sunlight means food can't grow. While magic can deal with the problem, it's a huge hassle and much easier to just allow the normal cycle of day and night.
*** Since the world is a globe, if half is Eternal Night, then the other half is Eternal Day. In addition to ruining the symbolism, this screws with the weather--again, something that can be handled by magic, but it's far more of a hassle than it's worth.
*** Going back to the above snippet, Jack also notes that there's a good chance that said Eternal Day is over an ocean, meaning no stars to help sailors navigate.
*** The point is to force ponies to appreciate the night more. Eternal Night doesn't make ponies appreciate it, they resent it.
** Related to Nightmare Moon, Twilight at one point pretends to go evil and declares an "Eternal Twilight" across the land. It's pointed out that this makes even less sense than Eternal Night; only a rather narrow band will be Eternal Twilight, the rest will be Eternal Day or Eternal Night. With the logical impossibility pointed out, she promptly gives up. Of course, in this case she and Spike were invoking the trope for the skit.
** One of the standard ways of defeating the various villains is to not defeat them at all. Everyone lets them conquer Equestria, the normal rulers take a vacation, and the conquerors discover the horrifying amount of paperwork that comes from running an entire nation.
** Zigzagged with one snippet, where EG!Rainbow Dash points out to Sunset she can't manage ''every'' sports team in Canterlot High, and play in a band, ''and'' still have to just barely finish her regular school assignments all at once. The zigzagging comes from the solution being Rainbow Dash getting other students to fill in for her as "substitute Rainbow Dashes".
** For a tank battle, they're limited to WWII tanks, so Apple Bloom decides to make the [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Landkreuzer_P._1000_Ratte P-1000 Ratte.]] While the exorbitant cost isn't an issue, she quickly discovers the many ''other'' reasons the Germans never actually made one. It's heavy enough that it sinks into the ground, the engines keep exploding, and on the rare occasion that she can get enough engines working long enough for it to move, it's slower than a glacier.

* BodyDouble: One Loop explains how ''Equestria Girls'' Rainbow Dash can manage every sports team at Canterlot High in addition to all those other activities - Substitute Rainbow Dashes, who dress and act like her.
* GoneHorriblyRight: One Loop has General Iroh stop Nightmare Moon with [[SpotOfTea tea]]. Really good tea. Perhaps maybe ''too'' good, since all Luna can do is stand there talking about how good it is.
* HopeSpot: At one point, it looks like Sci-Twi has started Looping. Then it turns out it's just a prank of Trixie's and Chrysalis. Sunset goes into UnstoppableRage, banishing their asses to Mars for it.
** When the evil version of Apple Bloom unveils herself, a confused Pinkie Pie asks, among other things, how many stops it is 'till [[Radio/ImSorryIHaventAClue Mornington Crescent]] (seven over kumquat, apparently).
* SitcomArchnemesis: The occasional snip has Starscream and Rainbow Dash just deciding to make each other's lives hell for no real reason.
* WalkingTechbane: Apparently a not-uncommon facet of Equestria Girls Ditzy, which Sunset exploits at one point to stop the events of ''Friendship Games'' before things can go wrong, just by using Ditzy's natural nicess and curiosity. The minute she touches Twilight's doohickey, it instantly and completely dies. Problem solved.
