3
4	[[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] falls into Equestria. Hilarity, among other things, ensues.
5
6	Another entry into the adventures of the Doctor in Equestria, ''Doctor Whooves Adventures'' is an audio series based around the ever-popular background character from the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' series, Doctor Whooves. This time around he travels with the show's main characters, including Twilight Sparkle, and occasionally Pinkie Pie or Spike.
7
8	Based off the popular FanFiction ''[[https://www.fimfiction.net/story/99/1/number-12/number-12 Number 12]]'' (written by the author of this series, Squeak Anon), it starts off with the Doctor crash landing into Twilight's library while she's out running errands. She returns to find the TARDIS embedded in her basement and the Doctor beginning his twelfth incarnation. Though as it turns out... he may not have come alone.
9
10	The series has had seven full episodes and several short adventures, all available on Website/YouTube. (There are also a few non-canon "extra" videos with the Doctor answering fan mail and such.) The series takes a noticeably darker tone than its sister show ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAndAssistant'' with a slightly more "Doctor Who-esqe" bent to the adventures. It is also notable in that it takes a page out of the classic Doctor Who radio plays, and actually airs, on Celestia Radio.

52	----
53	!!This series provides examples of:
54	* AlternateHistory: The Ponyverse diverges from regular history obviously, but one particular example is that in this universe World War II was replaced by a giant party, or World Party II in which Prance (France) and Hoffinay (Germany) went into a war to see which nation could out-party the other. If only regular history could be that much fun.
55	* AlternateUniverse: Almost all the shows made by Pony In A Box Productions take place in a single universe, known as "The Boxiverse," and are canon for one another. It's slightly different from the main MLP universe.
56	* AmnesiacResonance: [[spoiler: Penny Dreadful keeps going to places (around her home city) where she met the Doctor before]]. May be considered TearJerker.
57	* AnachronicOrder: ''Shadows Of The Lunar Republic'' and ''Bells of Fate'' take place '''before''' ''Wrong Way Backwards'', despite being released later.
58	* AndIMustScream: [[spoiler: Luna was the food source for Vashta Nerada for nearly twenty years, causing her to snap back to her Nightmare Moon persona before the events of Friendship is Magic]].
59	* ApocalypseHow: In ''Last Light'' the Doctor visits (accidentally) [[spoiler: the [[ApocalypseHow/ClassX4 heat death of this universe]]. ]]
60	* ArsonMurderAndJaywalking: When Twilight lists the things the Doctor has done so far that annoy her in ''Number 12'', the constant getting her name wrong goes after destroying the library and bringing the [[spoiler: Weeping Pegasi]] into Equestria.
61	* AtTheOperaTonight: The Doctor and Twilight attend an opera in ''Chords of Chaos''. It is interesting to note that the opera they attend is real, and called back to several times as background music. This is also where [[spoiler: they first run into The Phantom, aka Dorian Mode.]]
62	* BadassBoast: "No matter where you go, no matter what you're planning, I will find you. And then you'll wish the Abstract Plane had turned you into a pebble."
63	** "I am alive. I am myself. I am [[spoiler: Dorian Mode]] And [[PunctuatedForEmphasis YOU! WILL! NOT! WIN! THIS! DAY!]]"
64	** "When I'm done, Equestria will never have to fear the darkness again. [[CatchPhrase Onwards and Upwards!]]"
65	* BadFuture: In ''Traveler'', where [[spoiler: Twilight Sparkle, who has had ''something'' evilifying happen to her]] is [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen the evil empress]], Applejack and Rainbow Dash run LaResistance (as {{Future Badass}}es), Fluttershy looks after the [[spoiler: incapacitated princesses]] and the [[ReluctantMadScientist memory-wiped]] [[spoiler: personal Daedalus of the empress - the Doctor]] in the Castle of the Two Sisters, Rarity sews the [[HenchmenRace Raggedies]] and Pinkie Pie is [[ShooOutTheClowns missing]]. Twilight has a bit of a HeroicBSOD upon finding out all this.
66	* BigDamnHeroes: [[spoiler: Viva the lunar pony]]'s introduction is jumping out of nowhere to rescue the main characters.
67	* BillBillJunkBill: In ''Lovestruck'', Twilight is looking for a quill and finds:
68	-->'''Twilight''': Book... book... Element of Harmony... book... [[MakesJustAsMuchSenseInContext Adipose]]... Ah, there it is! A quill.
69	* BlessedWithSuck: Yphrum considers her fate this, since who ''needs'' a ruler in a place where everything will always go smoothly?
70	* BreakingTheFourthWall: At the end of every episode and short the characters suddenly become aware they're in a radio drama, reading the credits in character, and even going so far as to point out how well their voice actors did and say hello to the audience.
71	--> '''Doctor:''' "This has been a Pony in a Box producti-"\
72	'''Berry Bubble:''' "What are you doing?"\
73	'''Doctor:''' "What? I'm announcing the end credits, you know, the people who make these things."\
74	'''Pinkie Pie:''' "Oh you mean the people out there? Hello!"
75	** Played with in ''Express Delivery'' when the Doctor stops reading the script and is cut off by a censor.
76	** Also played with during the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xIigHA_GDY4&feature=plcp Interview with QCom]] after Episode 2 was released.
77	** The short entitled ''The Search'' is about the characters trying to locate [[spoiler: Squeak (the leader of Pony in a Pox Productions and the creator of ''Doctor Whooves Adventures'') so they can wish him Happy Birthday.]]
78	*** Not only do they break the fourth wall with the audience, they break the walls with ''other franchises''. At one point, Berry Bubble pulls a lever and the characters suddenly find themselves talking to Wrex from ''Franchise/MassEffect''.
79	** ''Wrong Way Backwards Part 3'' has the characters even [[LampshadeHanging lampshading]] how ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAndAssistant'' doesn't have a name for their studio, unlike the Adventures cast (Pony In A Box Productions).
80	* BreakingSpeech: [[spoiler: The Vashta Nerada, speaking through a possessed Celestia, give one to Twilight after knocking out Viva and Pinkie, trapping the Doctor and taking Luna back, stating that Sparkle is all alone unless she just gives up and lets the Vashta Nerada possess her.]]
81	** [[spoiler: In ''Good Show, Goodnight'' part 3, the Will-o-wisps deliver a cruel one to Goodnight. Using the Doctor's voice in order to better BreakTheCutie. She copes by singing his lullaby, and then the real (kind of...) [=McCoy=] pulls a BigDamnHeroes.]]
82	* BuffySpeak: The entire beginning of ''Crossed Wires''. These levers sure are jiggly... Generally, the Doctor's {{Technobabble}} tends towards this trope, and Pinkie happily joins in when she gets the occasion. Cherry Bomb isn't innocent of it, either, what with the "flippy notebooky things".
83	* CharacterCatchphrase:
84	-->'''Doctor:''' Onwards and Upwards!
85	** In ''Rhapsody in Blue Box'', where [=JamJar=] sounds particularly [[Creator/DavidTennant tennant-ish]], he also says "I'm sorry" several times, in a quite tennant-ish sort of a way.
86	* CelibateHero: The Doctor, not for lack of trying on Rarity's (and, in ''Lovestruck'', Twilight's) part.
87	-->'''The Doctor''': I know how to deal with Daleks, I don't know how to deal with Twilight...
88	* CliffHanger: Squeak seems really fond of these, leaving the fate of the Doc and co. up in the air until the next release. ''Chords of Chaos'' is particularly full of this.
89	** Lampshaded by the Doctor during the ''Chords of Chaos'' credits.
90	** Justified in that the show takes many cues not from the modern ''Series/DoctorWho'' (Doctors 9 through 12), but from the ''classic'' series, which did this frequently to stretch out a story.
91	* CompositeCharacter: While the Doctor is supposed to be on his twelfth incarnation, he mostly comes across as a combination of Doctors ten and eleven.
92	* ContinuityNod: ''Wrong Way Backwards'' is an '''excellent''' reminder of all the other times that the Doctor has met up with other versions of himself (The Three Doctors, The Five Doctors, The Two Doctors, Time Crash, etc), and the most important fact about them: They. Do. Not. Get. Along. At all.
93	** There's a lemon grove on site of the RetGone shady organisation devoted to finding the Doctor. [[Recap/DoctorWhoS27E10TheDoctorDances Lemons are good!]]
94	* CrashIntoHello: How the Doctor meets Rarity. She is [[ChickMagnet delighted]], he's... [[CelibateHero less so]].
95	* CreatingLife: Goodnight's origin, a robot from an unspecified time and place made her in an [[ForScience attempt to understand how life works]].
96	** During her imprisonment on the moon, Luna created a whole ''nation'' of ponies. (Though it may have only been a small nation. Also, she's a PhysicalGoddess.)
97	* CreepyMonotone: The mind-controlled ponies in ''Chords of Chaos/Pony of the Opera''
98	--> The dance is coming.
99	* {{Crossover}}: With ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAndAssistant'' in [[http://askponyinabox.tumblr.com/post/21304733334/what-do-you-think-of-doctor-whooves-and-assistant#notes this]] non-canon comic from the Tumbler.
100	** Another crossover with it happened [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iyht_jlcwK0 here,]] where the "Assistant," Doctor received an audio message from the "Adventures" doctor.
101	** [[spoiler:And ''again'' in ''Wrong Way Backwards'']].
102	*** [[spoiler:During part three of ''Wrong Way Backwards'', the Doctors see at least two alternate universes, including one where his companion is Octavia, and the world of ''Blog/DiscordedWhooves'' , which, for added bonus points, is made by the same person as ''Doctor Whooves and Assistant''!]]
103	** The premise of the whole story is [[Series/DoctorWho The Doctor]] traveling with [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Twilight Sparkle.]]
104	** The third mailbag special features an in-house crossover with ''Fanfic/TheVinylScratchTapes'' Master Recordings.
105	*** Octavia shows up again in ''The Search''.
106	** Wrex (from the ''Franchise/MassEffect'' games) has a cameo in ''The Search''.
107	* CrowdSong: An intriguing instance in ''[[MusicalEpisode The Bells of Fate]]''. Only the Doctor hears it, or in any case can tell this sort of behaviour is unusual.
108	* CruelToBeKind: [[spoiler: In ''Rhapsody in the Blue Box'', Cherry Bomb ''arranges'' (read: brings Penny to the right place and time) Penny to meet the Doctor, so her [[ParadoxPerson paradox]] unravels and Penny ceases to exist outside of Doctor's (and possibly Leaflet's) memory. Cherry does that to spur him out of trying to save Penny and into saving the universe.]]
109	--> '''The Doctor''': That was ''cruel''.\
110	'''Cherry''': You were stuck there.
111	* CuteBookworm: Goodnight, but she can be [[PluckyGirl brave]] and investigative when she needs to be.
112	* DeadpanSnarker: Twilight Sparkle tends to be very snarky with the Doctor at first, though she warms up later.
113	* DiggingYourselfDeeper: [[HenpeckedHusband Sergeant Kazoo]] and Madam Kazoo, most of the time. The poor guy can't seem to win.
114	** Then again, [[spoiler: Mixo's biological father is Extatic Kazoo]] - so, mr and mrs Kazoo's marriage [[AwLookTheyReallyDoLoveEachOther couldn't have been all bad]].
115	* DyingAlone: In ''Last Light'' Omniva is already resigned to it, but when the Doctor comes, she can't resist asking him to [[StayWithMeUntilIDie keep her company]]. He does.
116	* EmotionEater: Will-o-wisps.
117	* EvilLaugh: Dorian Mode, the villain of ''Chords of Chaos'' and ''Pony of the Opera''.
118	* EyelashFluttering: ''Lovestruck'', naturally:
119	-->'''[[CelibateHero The Doctor]]''': Twilight... your eyes are doing it again. This... fluttering motion.
120	* EyepatchAfterTimeskip: Rainbow in ''Traveler'' has lost her wings. Later we learn [[NightmareFuel precisely how]]...
121	* ExplainExplainOhCrap: In ''Number 12 (Part 2)'', Spike expresses his worries about the Weeping Pegasi to the Doctor. The Doctor explains that as long as they stick together, the Pegasi won't attack. [[spoiler: Then Spike points out that Twilight went to another section of the library alone.]]
122	** In ''Chords of Chaos'' the Doctor states they could escape the creature in the catacombs because it needed space to reverberate in order to exist. He then notices that they're in an opera house and reverberation is the main point of the whole building.
123	* {{Expy}}: Well... [[spoiler: Cherry Bomb]] is sooo [[LadyOfAdventure River Song]] of this reality. Mysterious? Flirty and [[ShipperOnDeck supportive of others' crushes]]? Hops in time? Except when in a CardboardPrison? Knows an awful lot of things? Kinda-sorta [[InLoveWithTheMark stalks the Doctor on whom she has a major crush]]? River Song. With hints of Jack Harkness (flirty former time agent!).
124	** Also, Penny's editor in ''Rhapsody in Blue Box'' is a ponified [[ComicBook/SpiderMan Jonah J. Jameson]]. He constantly shouts for the photos and threatens to fire Penny.
125	* FaceYourFears: [[spoiler: In ''Good Show, Goodnight'' part 3,]] she uses a song to give herself strength and defeat [[spoiler: the fake Doctor]], thus saving the day like a true [[Series/DoctorWho companion]].
126	* FailedAttemptAtDrama: "And I'm gonna save the whole world of ''Equador''!" the Doctor proudly announces, to Twilight's weary correction ("It's Equestria..."). Generally, Failed Attempts At Drama in this series go like this: the Doctor makes one of his speeches and he's immediately contradicted and/or deflated.
127	* {{Fanboy}}: Fetch from the ''Mailbag three'' is a MotorMouth LoonyFan of the Doctor, who's a bit baffled at this. Octavia freaks out.
128	* FirstSnow: Goodnight's first experience with snow is in ''Good Show, Goodnight''. She likes it a lot, but doesn't quite get this SnowballFight thing.
129	* {{Foreshadowing}}: In the short ''Good Day Goodnight'', two of the foals in Goodnight's class are named Bunsen Burner and Delta. These two characters play large roles in '' Traveler'', which takes place fifty years after ''Number 12''.
130	** Beaker, another pony from ''Traveler'', accidentally calls the Doctor during ''The Search''.
131	** ''Cell Mates'' takes place in 35 TR, and mentions the [[HenchmenRace Raggedies]].
132	** Beaker later pops up in ''Cell Mates'' after being captured, only to be rescued by the Doctor.
133	** Also in ''Cell Mates'' (and ''Last Light'') the Doctor yells "What time is it!?" when he lands, one of the ArcWords of ''Traveler''.
134	** The Vashta Nerada proclaim that "The nightmare never dies" when they are defeated and [[spoiler: princess Luna]] suspects that something bigger is at work.
135	** The Doctor from ''AudioPlay/DoctorWhoovesAndAssistant'' warns this Doctor that "One day, [his] mercy is going to get someone [he holds] dear killed... And [he knows] it." possibly hinting that the Doctor will eventually lose someone he holds dear, perhaps Twilight.
136	* FourthWallMailSlot: Somehow, questions submitted to the tumblr askbox get forwarded to the Doctor himself.
137	* FramingDevice: Parts of ''Traveler'' are framed as the Doctor telling his story to [[spoiler: Trixie, whom he met by accident in the middle of the adventure, sort of]], ''[[Recap/EighthDoctorAdventuresInterferenceBookOne Interference]]''-style.
138	* FriendlessBackground: Mixo, due to shyness and frequently moving houses, only has one friend. [[spoiler: And she's a will-o-wisp]].
139	* FutureMeScaresMe: ''Traveler'' has a very evil, ruthless, not-giving-a-damn-about-categorical-imperative version of [[spoiler: Twilight Sparkle]]. This ''may'' be due to evil machinations of someone evil. [[spoiler: Like Vashta Nerada. Then again, maybe not.]]
140	* GenkiGirl: [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} Pinkie Pie]]. [[CheerfulChild Whimsy Bee]].
141	* GhostSong: [[spoiler: Lydian's song, which plays whenever the [[WillOTheWisp Will'o'wisps]] manipulate Dorian, and finally when Lydian herself arrives in ghostly form.]]
142	* GoodAllAlong: In Part 3 of ''Wrong Way Backwards'', it is revealed that [[spoiler:the Cheshire cats who started the whole thing were former pets of Lewis Carrot, and have been setting things up to defeat the Jabberwock the whole time]].
143	* HappilyAdopted: Goodnight. Her adoptive parents have been chosen by the Doctor, who, of course, would see to it.
144	* HeelFaceTurn: [[spoiler: Dorian Mode, after a talk with the ghost of Lydian.]]
145	* HenchmenRace: Raggedies in ''Traveler''. Full name [[spoiler: The Raggedy Mares]]. Hoof-sewn sawdust-stuffed {{mooks}}. Just the thing for the discerning Evil Empress.
146	* HeroicLineage: Of all ponies, '''Pinkie Pie'''. She's the great-granddaughter of Sergeant Pie from episodes 3 and 4, who "fought" on the front lines in World Party II. His ''sister'', Coco Pie, friend and ally to Daring Do in ''Daring Do Adventures,'' is Pinkie's great great aunt.
147	** It goes even ''further'' in the future, as in the year 1050 CR (in the new show "Mare-Do-Well Adventures"), Pinkie's granddaughter takes up the starring role.
148	* HotBlooded: Copper from ''The Bells of Fate'' has a seriously foul temper for a pony. Mostly, it's shouting and impulsiveness.
149	* [[IdenticalGrandson Identical Great-Grandniece]]: Pinkie Pie to Coco Pie, in terms of voice and personality. Their coats and manes are different colors, though. (Coco is green.)
150	* InLoveWithTheMark: Cherry Bomb used to be a member of this universe's Time Agency, tasked with bringing the Doctor in. After he paradoxed the Agency out of time, she's the only remaining agent, but keeps stalking him, because she's infatuated with him. Just listen to her describing his eyes...
151	* ImprobableWeaponUser: Pinkie Pie. A [[spoiler: battleaxe]] might not seem improbable in itself, but it's certainly a bit off kilter for ponies and oddly effective on [[spoiler:Weeping Pegasi]].
152	* ImprobablyHighIQ: Goodnight tries to count the stars in the sky sometimes. It seems like something all of us have done, but Goodnight, unlike most of us, counted over a million in one night using an algorithm to work out how much light each galaxy was emitting, though she admitted it was a flawed process because red dwarfs just aren't consistent. If her memory is to be trusted Goodnight is [[ArtificialHuman hardly a few weeks old]].
153	* InnocentProdigy: Goodnight, at everything science or math-related. On the other hand, she can't do magic at all (as of yet).
154	* InterspeciesFriendship: [[MySpeciesDothProtestTooMuch Whisper]] and Mixo.
155	* KissingUnderTheInfluence: The (Doctor's words!) "bloody ''fairy''!" exerts the influence on Twilight and Rarity in ''Lovestruck''. The Doctor is [[CelibateHero mortified]].
156	* LastOfHerKind: ''Shadows of the Lunar Republic'' introduce the last of [[spoiler: the created by Luna moon ponies - her name is Viva]]. Cherry Bomb is the last time agent in this universe.
157	* TheLoad: Madame Kazoo not only complains incessantly when [[spoiler:she and Twilight are kidnapped]], she also refuses to [[spoiler:try to escape ("'zis is not ladylike!")]], belittles Twilight's attempts, and tells her to stop trying because the noise Twilight's making hurts her ears. Twilight compares her to Rarity, but notes that Rarity [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E19ADogAndPonyShow would have been helping]].
158	* MachineMonotone: The thick robot that created Goodnight.
159	* MeaningfulName:[[spoiler:Dorian and Lydian Mode are both musical scales]].
160	** Who can rule the kingdom where nothing ever goes right? Of course, Murphy. It's Murphy's law there.
161	* MotorMouth: '''Pinkie Pie'''. Cherry Bomb, an enthusiastic time-traveller, can talk fast, as well, when she has a mind to. Especially when Penny Dreadful attempts to PullTheThread and Cherry doesn't want to give her answers.
162	* MusicalEpisode: ''Chords of Chaos''/''Pony of the Opera'', ''Good Show, Goodnight'', ''The Bells of Fate''.
163	* MusicalExposition: ''Bells of Fate'' has two expository songs.
164	* MusicForCourage: The {{climax}} of [[spoiler: ''Good Show, Goodnight'']].
165	* MythologyGag: [[spoiler: ''In Wrong Way Backwards'' Part 2, events in each show reference each other for this part, such as the assistants/companions refusal to refer to the Doctors as the Doctor.]]
166	** As a reference to the ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' tendency to use {{Punny Name}}s for location, when the Doctor is explaining where he's from to Twilight she initially mispronounces Gallifrey as Gallopfrey.
167	** Also, the sound [=TARDIS=] makes is described as sounding ''exactly'' like a key being dragged ove piano wire.
168	* NeverSplitTheParty: The Doctor, Pinkie, Spike, and Twilight ''try'' to do this… but Doc's screwing up of Twilight's name sends her off in a huff [[spoiler: getting her captured by the Weeping Pegasi.]]
169	* NeverTrustATrailer: After the season one trailer people assumed that the pony with the feather in his cap from the ''Chords of Chaos'' poster was the Master. [[spoiler: It's actually Dorian Mode, aka the Phantom. He's the antagonist of ''Chords of Chaos'' and ''Pony of the Opera.'']]
170	* NonIndicativeName: [[spoiler:[[OfficerAndAGentleman Dreary]]]] and [[spoiler:[[{{Tsundere}} Cheerful]]]] Kazoo.
171	* NoodleImplements: From the first mailbag video: "Pinkie! I brought the banana!" [[Recap/DoctorWhoS28E4TheGirlInTheFireplace You always want to bring a banana to a party.]]
172	* NotNowKiddo: The Doctor really ''must'' stop this habit of his. %% ?
173	* OminousPipeOrgan: Music/ToccataAndFugueInDMinor is used to [[{{Leitmotif}} herald]] the villain in ''Chords of Chaos''/''Pony of the Opera''.
174	* {{Oireland}}: The Green Isles, judging by the inhabitants' accents and the background music, is the Equestrian version of it.
175	* ParadoxPerson: [[spoiler: Penny Dreadful, whose parents met at the very event that split the timelines. She can only exist in the timeline that's ''wrong'' and leads to a seriously BadFuture, and the Doctor needs to make it {{Retgone}} to save the day...]]
176	* ParentalSubstitute: [[spoiler: Elderly Dorian]] for young Mixo, a grandson of his best friend.
177	* ThePowerOfFriendship: Saves the day in ''Good Show, Goodnight''. And in ''Shadows of the Lunar Republic''. And hopefully in more plays to come.
178	* ThePowerOfLove: It's what [[spoiler: makes Dorian Mode realize he's been tricked, and what brings Lydian back to life for their final goodbye.]]
179	* PublicDomainSoundtrack: In ''Chords of Chaos'' the background music features several opera pieces from Howard Purcell (Or Howard P. Horsenail, as the episode credits him).
180	* {{Pun}}: "Well, I guess diplomacy really is the key."
181	* RadioVoice: In Penny's taped interviews.
182	* RedOniBlueOni: [[CuteBookworm Melancholic]] Goodnight and her [[GenkiGirl Sanguine]] best friend, Whimsey.
183	* RuleSixtyThree: The entire premise of the ''Crossed Wires'' short. Featuring such well-known names as The Professor, Dusk Shine, and Berry Bubble.
184	** In the ''Cell Mates'' short, [[DimensionalTraveler Cherry]] mentions that she visited an AlternateUniverse and met her male counterpart.
185	** In ''The Search'', the Professor notes that [[spoiler: Squeak-Anon]] is female in her universe.
186	* RunningGag:
187	** The Doctor throughout the first episode can't seem to get Twilight Sparkle's name right.
188	--->'''Doctor:''' "It's nice to meet you Midnight Twinkle"
189	*** This later turns into a Crowning Moment of Heartwarming when he finally does get it right.
190	*** Played with [[http://askponyinabox.tumblr.com/post/20776444234/twilights-very-protective-of-her-name here.]]
191	*** [[spoiler: This joke was brought up again in ''Wrong Way Backwards'' by BOTH doctors shortly after switching places and meeting each other's companion]]
192	** Also "How about the name Georgia?". Nobody likes the name Georgia…
193	** Weeping Angels. Or Weeping Pegasi, for consistency's sake.
194	** The Pony In A Box group (the ones responsible for making the show) loves to respond to any questions about future episodes or shorts with pictures of [[Series/DoctorWho River Song]] saying "Spoilers."
195	** In the ''Goodnight'' shorts, apparently nopony knows what the word "people" means. The Doctor says it in front of Goodnight, who is momentarily confused and it may be counted as FridgeBrilliance that Goodnight makes the very same slip up the Doctor does in the next short afterwards. [[spoiler: Cherry makes it too in ''Rhapsody in the Blue Box''.]]
196	*** The Doctor in general has problems with Equestrian terminology, such as how people respond to 'everypony' rather than 'everybody', how the rulers are referred to as princesses rather than queens, among other things.
197	** Also in ''Goodnight'' shorts: Goodnight gets serious and excited (or seriously excited) about a subject, [[SpockSpeak explains what's so interesting and important]], and then inevitably has to translate it into plain English for Whimsy.
198	* ScreamingWoman: Madame Kazoo. The screamiest pony ever.
199	* ScrewTheWarWerePartying: World Party II is essentially the ''[[BreadEggsBreadedEggs Breaded Eggs]]'' version of this trope: where Prance and Hoofinay challenged one-another to see who could throw the best party: complete with games, music, food, cake, and party favors. [[spoiler: Pinkie Pies' Great-grandfather was a Hoofinay Sergeant in this celebration that liked to regularly play tag with his best friend and rival, Sergeant Dreary Kazoo of Prance.]]
200	* SdrawkcabName: The twins [[SiblingYinYang Murphy and Yhprum]].
201	* SiblingYinYang: The twins [[BornUnlucky Murphy]] and [[BornLucky Yhprum]]. Their WindsOfDestinyChange powers are incredibly potent and work automatically, meaning ''everyone'' in Murphy's part of the island's unlucky and nothing ever goes right, while Yhprum's lands are prosperous and perfect without her doing anything.
202	* ShoutOut: In the first episode, having not yet been introduced to Twilight, the Doctor randomly asks if her name is Georgia. Georgia likely refers to Georgia Tennant, Creator/DavidTennant's wife and Creator/PeterDavison's daughter, who plays Jenny, [[Recap/DoctorWhoS30E6TheDoctorsDaughter the Doctor's daughter]].
203	* ShutUpHannibal: [[spoiler: Twilight's response to the above breaking speech is to point out that she'd never betray her friends and that she's not alone, then unleashing the power of her new friend the TARDIS to prove her point.]]
204	* SkewedPriorities: After the security bot in ''Partners in Crime'' reads the Doctor's ListOfTransgressions (it doesn't have nearly all of them on record...), Twilight only wants to know:
205	-->'''Twilight''': [[PunctuatedForEmphasis How. Did you. Rack up. A 198 895 385 late book returns!?]]
206	* SlidingScaleOfRobotIntelligence: The robot that created Goodnight is smart enough to create life from scratch, but too thick to realize that the Doctor does not operate on robot logic, allowing the Doctor to escape with her.
207	-->'''Doctor:''' Love a thick robot.
208	* SnarkyInanimateObject: In ''Pony of the Opera'' it's revealed that in this world the Doctor's screwdriver can talk to inanimate objects (because magic), in this particular case the lock of a cell they happen to be trapped in. It turns out to be very snarky.
209	** But it did pose a good argument. Why ''should'' it let them out when the entire point of its existence is to keep them in?
210	* StandardSnippet: ''[[{{Sexophone}} Careless Whisper]]'' for whenever will-o-wisps [[KissingUnderTheInfluence affect somepony]] in ''Lovestruck''.
211	* TakeMeToYourLeader: In ''The Bells of Fate'' the Doctor still loves saying that.
212	-->'''The Doctor''': Oh. Shivers.
213	* TimeyWimeyBall: In ''The Search.''
214	-->'''Pinkie''': Hi, Twilight!\
215	'''Twilight''': Pinkie? When did we even give you a radio?\
216	'''Pinkie''': Oh, I just got one from the future.\
217	'''Twilight''': [[FlatWhat You what.]]
218	** ''Traveler'' reaches Moffat-levels of wibbly-wobbly timelines. E.g. from Fluttershy's point of view, the whole thing starts InMediasRes - then Twilight goes to have a word with the Doctor about it, but he hasn't done this part yet. And so on.
219	* TrademarkFavoriteFood: The Doctor has a thing for lemons, good for all sorts of purposes. In addition to taste, they can be used to aid in breaking causality loops and, in a pinch, used as a fusion generator.
220	* TrappedInThePast: [[spoiler: Night Shift, and he's actually a lot happier and more successful (both professionally and in love) than he was in present day.]]
221	* {{Tsundere}}: Mrs. Kazoo is a Type A. Normally she complains about her husband (and everything else). But when he's hurt, she's seriously scared and worried.
222	* VoiceOfTheLegion: [[spoiler: The swarm of Vashta Nerada possessing Celestia.]]
223	* WhamEpisode:
224	** ''Shadows of the Lunar Republic''. Let's count it off, shall we? [[spoiler: Twilight has to decide whether or not she wants to stay with the Doctor, but before you have five seconds to come to terms with the idea she might say no she's... ([[MotorMouth deep breath]]) Almost eaten, discovers Celestia's in danger, has to outrun a wall of shadows that want to eat her, communicates magically with the TARDIS, becomes its FRIEND, ends up on the moon, finds the last member of a dead race, discovers Luna was being EATEN by Vashta Nerada for 19 YEARS which made her turn back into Nightmare Moon, gets back to Equestria, distracts them with Tiptoe Through the Tulips, only for Celestia herself to show up POSSESSED BY VASHTA NERADA, who try to EAT PRINCESS LUNA and are only stopped by Twilight using her friendship with the TARDIS to use her light to drive them back and letting Luna use her powers to make the moon brighter than the sun to drive them away.]] There is literally not a single dull moment in this episode.
225	** ''Rhapsody in Blue Box'' starts off pretty low-key, with a new character named [[IntrepidReporter Penny Dreadful]] investigating reports from ponies who've encountered the Doctor and the TARDIS (known as "the Call Box"), but then... [[spoiler: Cherry Bomb from ''Cell Mates'' shows up and whisks her off to investigate a site where the TARDIS may show up. Along the way, Cherry reveals her nature as a time traveler and confirms that the Doctor is one as well, and Penny explains that she thinks there's some sort of connection between the Doctor and herself, as the reported incidents all happened very close to her own haunts. They reach the site, and Cherry abandons her just before the TARDIS appears. The Doctor emerges and is horrified to see Penny, and she starts to remember having been his companion, and yet having not. He sadly explains that she only exists because the timeline has been altered -- and the key event is Twilight becoming Equestria's new Princess and taking over from an ailing Celestia. Penny starts to be [[RetGone erased from existence]] due to her nature as a living time paradox, and though she quickly comes to terms with it, the Doctor is torn up with grief and guilt over her having to be aware of it. Later, after she's "dead", he meets up with Cherry, who tries to comfort him over his loss and reminds him that they have bigger problems right now -- the timeline is in worse and worse flux, and Twilight is at the center of it all, with the Doctor describing her time with him as having been a trap from the start. Thus, an episode that initially seems like filler between ''The Bells of Fate'' and ''The Castle Above'' contains a key piece of the larger StoryArc and quite the unexpected gut-punch.]]
226	* WhatYearIsThis: Cherry asks this and, upon meeting suspicions, cheerfully claims to have lost her calendar. The Doctor asks in ''Bells of Fate'' and Silver Platter [[LampshadeHanging finds this a very odd question]].
227	* WhamLine: In ''Bells of Fate'':
228	-->'''[[TechnicalPacifist The Doctor]]''': I'm going to start a war.
229	* WhatKindOfLamePowerIsHeartAnyway: In the Green Isles every creature has a "knack" a minor (or [[WindsOfDestinyChange not so minor]]) magical power, like the ability to banish dust from rooms, fix broken crockery or, with less MundaneUtility, make coins shine.
230	* WhoWritesThisCrap: The Doctor does go along with the insanity that is ''Express Delivery''... until he doesn't and starts to rant at the FourthWall. Cue singing.
231	* YouWillBeBeethoven: [[spoiler: Night Shift was sent back in time to become a weather pioneer who already existed in the timeline (and Twilight already owned seven books about him).]]
