- Rainbow Dash getting her superhero name:Rainbow rubbed her chin. "Uh…let's see. I have Zeus' powers, so wouldn't that make me…Zeus?"The earth mare folded her hooves. "That's blasphemy. Ya don't hear me callin' myself Demeter just cuz I have her rope, do ya?""Okay, okay! Then how about…" She glanced down at her necklace and smiled. "Zap?"Mare-velous cocked her head. "Kinda short, ain't it?"Rainbow thought further. "With...two P's?"She shrugged. "Better."

- Fluttershy's therapist Tree Hugger, who is so new-agey that Mare-vellous and Zapp need Filli-second to translate what she is saying.Filli-second: I speak hippie.
- Mistress Mare-vellous' (initial) staunch refusal to become part of the group, with calling the Power Ponies name corny.
- The way the Power Ponies calm down an out-of-control Fluttershy; by singing a lullaby and offering her a stuffed bunny.
The Mane-Raising Joke
- When the Mane-iac breaks into Rarity and Coco's apartment, both understandably freaked but try to stay calm for fear of angering her. At one point in their conversation Rarity mentions that it's as if she's become a criminal mastermind and after a beat the Mane-iac starts laughing wildly. Coco and Rarity both awkwardly laugh along with her.
- Immediately after, this exchange:
"You really think," the Mane-iac said, still cackling, "that I'm a criminal mastermind?" She thrust her face into Rarity's. "Mastermind's a bit of a stretch, but I appreciate the flattery."Rarity stopped laughing.
The Shadow King
