Funny / Spike's Gambit

• A Changeling tried singing "Just What I Needed", but his hilariously awful and tuneless performance outrages Spike while on his date with Fluttershy, leading to this exchange:
  Spike: What in the world? Am I the only one hearing this? The man is butchering a classic!
• When Fluttershy tells Discord that she sleeps naked:
  Discord: So there's no barrier between your business and your bed? Basically, your sheets become a giant pair of panties? No sides, no clothes, no rules. Normally, I would say you're a woman after my own heart, but I draw the line at filthy, naked hippies!
• After a trip downtown to get some cupcakes, Pinkie, Rainbow Dash and Twilight end up having to run through the back alleys of Las Pegasus butt naked.
• The contrast between the cool, calm and usually collected Spike and the bundle-of-energy Pinkie Pie is amusing, leading to some pretty funny exchanges of dialogue.
  Pinkie: By the way, I found my other roller-skate. So you can disregard the text I sent you last night. You'll never guess where I found it.
  Spike: And I never will.
  Pinkie: It was in my bubble bath.
• Spike (being the first of a group of eleven characters to land in the Ogres & Oubliettes: Dark Alliance video game) first remarks about how his hair is gone before realizing he's been transformed into a half-dragon wizard with even huger muscles.
• Pinkie's Ogres & Oubliettes avatar is a human minstrel whose weakness is cake.
• Twilight's O&O character, a dark elf sorceress, is the only avatar to have more weaknesses than skills.
  Twilight: I already hate this game.
• Fluttershy's character, a half-elf druid named Fauna Silentflyer, talks down a crazy butcher from cutting off a chicken's head and uses her cuteness on a group of driders (half-dark elf, half-spider abominations) to let her and her friends out of a cell.
  • Both double as Crowning Moments Of Awesome.
• As much as he enjoyed being part dragon in the video game, one of Spike's first acts upon returning to the real world was to examine his own body and sigh in relief.
  Spike: Okay, human body, hands and feet, full head of hair, both arms and both legs, still alive... still alive...
• After talking with Chrysalis and giving her a backless dress to wear for the poker tournament, Spike confronts Rarity about his tuxedo.
  Spike: I already have a dinner jacket.
  Rarity: There are dinner jackets and there are dinner jackets. This is the latter. And I, we, need you looking like a man who belongs at that table.
  Spike: It's tailored.
  Rarity: I sized you up the moment we met.
  • Subsequently, Spike tries it on... and is amazed how Rarity had managed to accurately guess his sizes.
• Spike gives his drink order at the poker table - "one ounce of Alize Red Passion with half an ounce of Strawberry Liquer, another half ounce of Chambord, fill with half Red Bull, half Pink Lemonade, and garnished with a red Twizzler." That wouldn't be funny if not for the fact that three other players at the table (Tirek, Grogar and Sombra - the former two of which last to the final round, no less) immediately decide they'd like to have one as well to tide them over, much to Cozy Glow's annoyance.
  • With Sombra making the point of changing the order slightly, telling Soarin to make his with black licorice.
• This conversation in the Hard Rock Café in "Torch Overthrown":
  Zephyr Breeze: Did you see the way they just slapped me?
  Spike: You're lucky that that's all they did. You insulted them.
  Zephyr Breeze: All I did was ask them if I could buy them a glass of wine.
  Spike: You asked them to get naked... and shave your ass.
  (Beat)
  Zephyr Breeze: I said that?
  Spike: Yes!

• Spike spying on Lyra and Bon Bon from a building under construction directly across the street while they're getting undressed.
  Spike: Oh, slow down, baby.
• Lily Lace, one of Steven Magnet's employees in this universe, going off on a kinky tangent.
• The fact that Spike begins the briefing on the robbery by piling on just how impossible it's going to be.
• This conversation in "New Looks and Pep Talks":
  Starlight Glimmer: I have a question. Say we get into the Towers, through the front doors, and past the guards with the big freaking guns, and into the casino, all without being recognized by the Eyes in the Sky, are we really supposed to just walk out the front door again with a hundred and fifty trillion dollars in cash and chips on us without being stopped?
  Spike (stifling a sigh as he nods): Yeah.
• After Sunset Shimmer knocks out Twilight Sparkle in the Rich Towers casino, Discord says this:
  "We could have been great together! We could have been somebody! People were going to ship us! They were going to call us 'Dislight', or 'Tricord'! No, definitely 'Dislight'... But you are one crazy-ass bitch!"
