* NeverLiveItDown: The episode painting blackmail in a positive light is an easy target for bronies dismissing the entire show as garbage, never mind that [=FiM=] has had plenty of bad messages of its own.



* UncannyValley: Lancer teases Teddy by squeezing a soccer ball upon finding out that he sleeps with a teddy bear. He makes [[https://www.derpibooru.org/921571 this unsettling expression while doing so]].

* AlternateCharacterInterpretation: Lancer's [[JerkassBall meanness]] in this episode that he doesn't display in other episodes could be explained as Teddy being rude toward him; Teddy taunts Lancer while they're at the soccer net, and if Teddy is like this toward him usually, then Lancer may have wanted to teach Teddy a lesson.

* FridgeLogic: While the girls are exchanging gossip, Bright Eyes mentions that in class, the boys distracted Miss Hackney, causing her to misspell a word. Since the girls all go to the same school, shouldn't they already know about that?



** In the song from the same episode, Clover mentions Count Appaloosa as being Madame Percheron's fiancé. ''Friendship is Magic'' has a town by the name of Appleloosa which is a play on the breed of horse.

* UnintentionalPeriodPiece: "A Juicy Story" is done in a rap-style that all but screams early 90s. Bon Bon's verse is about a pony coming down with the mumps, a disease that is nowhere near as common thanks to the MMR vaccine.

* TheWoobie: Sweetheart when Teddy accuses her of spreading rumors about his teddy bear. She clearly couldn't do anything to stop her friends, especially when Ace and Lancer hear about it. With everything that happens to her, you just can't help but give her a hug.

* DontShootTheMessage: The episode aims to teach that spreading false rumors is wrong, but motivation by revenge and blackmail is the only way it can be stopped.
* HilariousInHindsight: ''Three'' examples all relating to ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'':
** An annoyed Teddy kicks an apple tree, and all the apples fall down (a good deal of them right onto him, naturally). Fast forward to ''Friendship is Magic'' and this is the main method of apple harvesting used by Applejack's family. Able to harvest an entire tree in one kick? If he were in ''Friendship is Magic,'' Teddy would be ''legendary'' for his "applebucking" skills.

* JerkassWoobie: Teddy. It's easy to feel bad for him when he cries about how the ponies who were his friends are now mocking him and thinks Sweetheart deliberately told his secret.
