History Recap / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne

* ReactionShot: During Pinkie's "Singing Telegram" song, we get a lot of these from the other Mane Six. The funniest would have to be Twilight's, who's expression can only be described as concern.

* ShownTheirWork: See the first example under AssKicksYou above. Twilight and Fluttershy just shrug off getting butt-slammed into walls and return to enjoying the party. Horses are known for getting rambunctious in their play; this is why roughhousing is sometimes called "horse play".

* GettingCrapPastTheRadar: [[https://derpicdn.net/img/view/2012/9/4/89898__safe_animated_spike_dancing_party+of+one.gif Spike's dancing]] during the first party is very suggestive.

* CouldHaveAvoidedThisPlot: If Twilight Sparkle hadn't suggested "We'll have to do this again soon," Pinkie Pie wouldn't have gotten the idea for an after-birthday party in the first place.

* {{Easy Way Or The Hard Way}}: After Pinkie Pie refuses to follow Rainbow to Sweet Apple Acres, Rainbow filally lets her frustration get to her.

* EasyWayorTheHardWay: After Pinkie Pie refuses to follow Rainbow to Sweet Apple Acres, Rainbow resorts to dragging the party pony there by the tail.

* EasyWayOrTheHardWay: After Pinkie Pie refuses to follow Rainbow to Sweet Apple Acres, Rainbow resorts to dragging the party pony there by the tail.

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Pinkie's not happy, she's ''scary''. The eponymous "party of one" isn't like Pinkie's usual parties. Instead of a childlike birthday party, it's more like a adult formal dinner party. She also drops her quirky vocabulary and starts to use a more serious tone and more formal words, even using snooty accents for her "guests". Finally, her attitude towards her "new friends" is somewhat distant.

* CensoredForComedy: When the episode airs on Treehouse TV in Canada, all instances of the word "loser" are silenced.
-->'''"Rocky:"''' Not so bad? Puh-leeze! They're a bunch of "losers"!\\
'''Pinkie Pie:''' Oh, come on now. "Loser" might be a little strong, don't you think?\\
'''"Sir Lintsalot:"''' After the way they treated you, I'd say "loser" isn't strong enough!

* PerpSweating: Pinkie Pie does this to Spike in an attempt to find out why her friends are avoiding her. Also provides the page image.
* PlotDrivingSecret: The party for Pinkie Pie. It goes about as well as [[{{Cliche}} every other cartoon that's done it.]]

* MickeyMousing: During her SanitySlippage, some trumpet glissandos accompany Pinkie Pie twitching.

* LoudGulp: Applejack makes one when Pinkie is starring at her just after she'd fed her a fib about being busy this afternoon (as usual, not very convincingly, Applejack being a well-known BadLiar).

->'''Pinkie Pie:''' Sure, Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy had to house-sit for that vacationing bear, but what are the chances all my other friends would have plans this afternoon, too?

!!Tropes present in this episode (YMMV tropes can be found [[YMMV/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E25PartyOfOne here]]):

* ActorAllusion: Madame Le Flour's French accent sounds [[{{Madeline}} kinda familiar]]…

* CarnivoreConfusion: Best summed up by this Youtube comment:

** ([[DontExplainTheJoke Madame Le Flour is a flour sack, by the way.]])

* ComedicSociopathy: Spike is oblivious to Pinkie's angst during and after the interrogation, even though it should be perfectly obvious to any observer, and this ends up making things worse. Granted, he's got a pretty bad record of reading people from before too (not noticing that the audience hated Pinkie Pie's performance in "Over a Barrel" and Rarity's fashion show in "Suited for Success", thinking his crush on Rarity is a secret in "Green Is not Your Color", almost all of "Owl's Well That Ends Well"...), but this is the most extreme example, with him only being interested in the "nice spread" - a huge bowl of gems - and saying whatever it takes to get his claws on it.

* CompanionCube: Pinkie's 'new friends'. A pile of rocks, a dust bunny, a bag of flour, and a pail of turnips.

* [[EtTuBrute Et Tu, Amici?]]: PlayedForLaughs when Pinkie Pie thinks that her friends don't like her parties anymore, only to realize that her friends are setting up a birthday party for her.

* FelonyMisdemeanor: Spike "confesses" (with much dismay and shame) to spilling juice on one of Twilight's books, using up all the hot water, and doing muscle-man poses in front of a mirror when no one is watching.

--> '''"Rocky":''' You heard th' lady! She ain't goin' nowhere, chump!
--> '''Rainbow Dash:''' Who're you callin' a chump, ''chump''?! ''[[[{{Beat}} beat]]]'' Ugh... That's it: party's over.
* HiddenDepths: You wouldn't have believed that an episode of ''My Little Pony'' starring the silly party-crazy member could be so profound… [[SurrealHumor and creepy]].

* IncrediblyObviousBug: Pinkie dangles a [[TinCanYouHearMeNow can-onna-string]] just above Twilight Sparkle's head, almost in front of her face, to listen in on her conversation with Mrs. Cake. Locating the listening device [[AmusingInjuries proves ill]] for Twilight.

-->'''Pinkie:''' Oh, Twilight, you shouldn't ''hit'' the books. You should really just read them.
-->'''Twilight:''' I'll keep that in mind!

* OOCIsSeriousBusiness: When Pinkie's not happy, she's ''scary''.

** The ScareChord from Franchise/{{Predator}} plays when Pinkie does her OffScreenTeleportation when she's interrogating AJ.

* YouDoNotWantToKnow: Rainbow Dash says this to Twilight after the unicorn asks about a reference to Pinkie's previous "party."
