Recap / My Little Pony: Tell Your Tale: "My Bananas"

Go To

Sunny becomes a celebrity after an embarrassing video of her slipping on a banana peel goes viral.


Tropes:

  • Banana Peel: Sunny slips on one while using her roller skates and pulling her cart full of bananas for her banana smoothies. She slips, goes flying, and her cart spills all the bananas up in the air. She falls to the ground and is covered in a pile of all her bananas as they all land on her and bury her. This gets recorded and uploaded, becoming a meme and starting the plot of the episode.
  • Hidden Depths: Despite being somepony who commonly freaks out and panics at the smallest inconvenience, Pipp proves to be quite good at spinning Sunny's embarrassing mishap into a marketing opportunity. She also manages to cheer Sunny up and help her see the positives of the situation.
  • Instant Humiliation: Just Add YouTube!: Basically what happens to Sunny after the above mentioned banana peels incident, although Sunny embraces the meme in the end.
  • Instant Web Hit: Exaggerated with "Princess Pipp's Top Ten Most Epic Fails" which has thirteen billion views. It's quite recent, as it includes Mane Melody, and YouTube's most watched video of 2022, "Baby Shark Dance", took 4.5 years to get over ten billion views and the setting has a fraction of the population, limited to two towns and a small city.
  • Innocently Insensitive: Izzy sings the My Bananas song and tries to get Sunny to join in, despite Sunny feeling humiliated and upset.
  • Jerkass: Posey is the first one to laugh at Sunny even though Sunny's saved her multiple times.
  • Noodle Incident: Izzy suggests that Sunny deal with her humiliation by wearing a disguise and starting a new life somewhere else, claiming that it worked for her.
  • Voice Clip Song: Sunny crying out the titular words as she makes her iconic tumble is reworked into a "funky dance mix", quickly enough that Izzy knows it by heart by the time Sunny returns to the Brighthouse.
