Added DiffLines:

* TooHungryToBePolite: Implied with how even AJ, Pinkie, and ''Gummy'' look at Twilight funny when she burps and eats messily in "Pie vs. Pie". There's a lot of messy eating and burping in the show, but it seems just to come from how commonly characters are overeaters and get very hungry.

* FoodComa: A quite-possible outcome of trying one of Pinkie's sweeter cupcakes.


Added DiffLines:

* GuysAreSlobs: Dishwater Slog is the epitome of this. Echo the bat meanwhile, as the only common male protagonist of Season 2, is so far the only character to fart, even though ''anyone'' would when up in the stratosphere like he was.

Added DiffLines:

* ExplosiveDecompression: Joked with Applejack opening her helmet in her imagine spot in "How Applejack Got Her Hat Back". Somewhat realistic in that both AJ there and Bubbles in another episode seem fine with just a helmet. When a character finally does go up without a helmet (Echo in "The Rarest of Occasions"), his only problem is oddly the low pressure making all his flatulence rush out in one large fart.

Added DiffLines:

* BatmanCanBreatheInSpace: An almost very literal case, as it's Echo the horned bat that launches up there from eating a good cupcake in "The Rarest of Occasionas". Made extra weird because the low pressure is seemingly acknowledged with him farting spontaneously.
* BigNo: Pinkie after imagining her friends saying she won't win the Royal Jelly Juggernaut.
** Echo when he falls back to earth, despite the constant CartoonPhysics.

Added DiffLines:

* RidiculouslyHumanRobots: The "mecha ponies" of "Planet of the Apps".
* RobotsAreJustBetter: Heavily implied in "Planet of the Apps", as the entire world has become artificial, with robot ponies who seem to be a lot stronger than normal ponies but have normal emotions and everything.

* {{Animesque}}: Definitely looks that way when compared to ''FIM'' (and it was already slightly animesque to begin with), with cutesy expressions and a chibi art style. It even uses the VisibleSigh.

** In "Whoof-Dunnit", Twilight gets one when Rarity interrogates her about a missing visor.



* InflatingBodyGag: A RunningGag is for Pinkie to blow up like a balloon and explode into confetti whenever experiencing extreme emotion. Fluttershy tries to imitate this once, but it simply results in awkward deflation and hitting the floor rather hard.

* BroadStrokes: Twilight is an alicorn, but there's no sign of her crystal tree-castle, Starlight Glimmer, the School of Friendship or the Student Six. In a flashback gag, Twilight is shown to have blown up Golden Oak Library during a potion experiment. From the available evidence, ''Pony Life'' seems to be vaguely set during ''[=FiM=]'' season 4, or is an alternate universe that diverges from there.
