9	!!Friendship is Magic: The Ultimate Abridged Series contains examples of:
10	* AmbiguouslyGay: Pinkie Pie. Bobby.
11	* AxeCrazy: Rarity leans into this, killing Steven Magnet with one of his scales in Episode 2, and trying to kill Twilight for her train ticket in Episode 3. Her Element of Harmony is the spirit of "Cold-Blooded Murder".
12	* ComedicSociopathy: All over, episode 3 especially.
13	** "We could go down to the humane society and get us a new Granny Smith!"
14	* GratuitousJapanese: The Kawaii Desu Desu Ugu Gems of Harmony
15	* InsistentTerminology: Parptay
16	* JustTrainWrong: In episode three, this trope is blown way out of proportion. Especially when Pinkie Pie describes a carnival instead of a train.
17	* LarynxDissonance: Fluttershy was originally voiced with a comically deep voice.
18	* MythologyGag: Of a sort; episode 1 calls Ponyville "West Fillydelphia", which was Ponyville's name while Friendship is Magic was in development.
19	* NationalStereotypes: Zecora in Episode 9.
20	** [[HypocriticalHumor Applejack even points this out]].
21	* {{Otaku}}: Twilight is obsessed with anime.
22	* ReferenceOverdosed: Homestuck, The Lion King, Inception, Homestuck, Evangelion, Homestuck, One Piece.
23	* SawItInAMovieOnce: Twilight forces her friends to study up on Anime/{{Neon Genesis Evangelion}} in episode 7, assuming that the smoke covering Ponyville is coming from an angel, and bases all of her plans around this assumption. [[ItSeemedLikeAGoodIdeaAtTheTime She ends up being dead wrong.]]
24	* SelfDeprecation: [=PonyPokey=] is based primarily on Tumblr. Episode 4 is all about how Tumblr is ruining Applejack's life and wasting all her time.
25	* ShoutOut: Episode 2 contains a [[BlatantLies subtle]] Series/DoctorWho reference.
26	** Episode 7 is based largely on [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Evangelion]], with references to and music from the series constantly popping up.
27	** In Episode 8, Twilight, Applejack, and Rarity read the entirety of ''Webcomic/{{Homestuck}}'' in a week. An argument between Applejack and Rarity (regarding whether or not ''Homestuck'' was any good) results in a Pillow Strife battle. Twilight blames Creator/AndrewHussie.
28	* SpoofAesop: "I learned today a very valuable lesson: You should not judge a book by its cover. Or someone by their color. Or think that someone's a zombie. And you probably shouldn't break into their house. And I should probably never leave Spike to guard Ponyville ever again."
29	* StealthPun: "Now if you'll ''excuse me'', I have to go check on my Dash."
30	* TheStinger: Almost every episode.
31	* SyntheticVoiceActor: Spike is voiced by Speakonia.
32	* UnsettlingGenderReveal: Gilda is a man.
33	* UnsoundEffect: Spike makes several.
34	** "Hiccup."
35	* WrongGenreSavvy: Twilight thought the dragon was an [[Anime/NeonGenesisEvangelion Angel]] and that they could defeat it like one.

38	!!WebAnimation/PonyPokey's other works contain examples of:
39	* AprilFoolsDay: The blog and abridged series was briefly converted to [[WesternAnimation/PoundPuppies2010 Puppy Pokey]]. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9b4bJj-DNKA first and only episode]] of the new abridged series was [[StylisticSuck filmed with a video camera by recording an episode playing on a TV]].
40	* AlternateDVDCommentary: "Bronies Watch" for previous generations of MLP.
41	* LetsPlay: They have done many, such as Mari0, Runaway Rainbow (they didn't finish it), and (currently in progress) VisualNovel/HatofulBoyfriend.
42	* RunningGag: "...and pink" is a recurring riff in their {{MST}} of ''The Runaway Rainbow''.
43	** "CAN'T YOU SEE THIS IS TEARING US APART"
44	** "[[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyG3 Rainbow Dash]] is [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic Rarity]]!"
45	** "[[Recap/OnePiecePunkHazardArc There's this island made of fire and ice]]" from the ''Twinkle Wish Adventure'' commentary.
