----
=== Tropes present in this episode. ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E18 a Friend In Deed/YMMV|YMMV tropes can be found here]]) ===
 
* [[Abnormal Ammo]]: As [[Noodle Incident|has happened before]], Pinkie accidentally loaded her welcome wagon confetti launchers with cake batter.
Line 50:
* [[Call Back]]: [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E5 Griffon the Brush Off|Remember the last time Pinkie had to chase some one all over the place, popping everywhere no matter where she went?]]
** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E25 Party of One|Yep.]]
** Rainbow Dash tries to explain Cranky's resistance to Pinkie's overtures by saying, "He doesn't want to be bothered by your over-the-top, super hyper antics." After all, she'd been in Pinkie's horseshoes [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E8 The Mysterious Mare Do Well|not that long ago.]]
** Rainbow Dash is shown reading [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E16 Read It and Weep|a Daring Do book]].
** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E7 May the Best Pet Win|"It's like forever!"]]
** [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E1 Mare in The Moon|Pinkie gasping and running away to make a good impression on a new resident.]]
*** And after she claimed to know ''every pony'' in Ponyville, this episode PROVED it.
** To get into Cranky's house, Pinkie initially thinks [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E13 Hearths Warming Eve|"inside the chimney."]]
** This wasn't the first time Pinkie's [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E3 The Ticket Master|mistaken something harmless for a creepy critter.]]
** Cranky's reaction to {{spoiler|being reunited with Matilda}} calls to memory [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E23 The Cutie Mark Chronicles|the reaction Pinkie's family had to their first party]].
Line 61:
** This episode, Derpy appears...in a snowglobe?!
** One of the cows from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E4 Applebuck Season|"Applebuck Season"]] makes a return and gets a name: Daisy Jo.
** The old stallion from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E8 The Mysterious Mare Do Well|"The Mysterious Mare Do Well"]] and [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E17 Hearts and Hooves Day|"Hearts and Hooves Day"]] is given the name Mr. Waddle (or possibly "Mr. Wattle(s)", referencing a skin problem sometimes seen in the elderly, but the closed captions use the spelling "Waddle").
* [[The Cat Came Back]]: Pinkie pursues Cranky Doodle everywhere, just so she can apologize.
* [[Chekhov's Gunman|Chekhov's Gun Jenny]]: Matilda, the donkey that appears in the beginning, {{spoiler|turns out to be Cranky Doodle's lost love.}}
Line 71:
* [[Comically Missing the Point]]: Pinkie throughout the episode, most notably when Twilight tries to explain why Cranky might want some space.
* [[Continuity Nod]]:
** Pinkie Pie spends the cold opening practicing her goofy faces on [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E12 Baby Cakes|Pound and Pumpkin.]] Unfortunately it ''still'' takes a [[Butt Monkey]] moment to get the laughs out of them.
** Pinkie's habit of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E22 A Bird in The Hoof|cleaning food off her entire person by eating it all]] ([[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E3 Lesson Zero|which Spike's picked up]]).
** Daisy Jo the cow apparently loves oatmeal cookies. Could it be?
{{quote| '''Pinkie Pie:''' [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E3 The Ticket Master|And then I said "Oatmeal? Are you crazy?"]]}}
** Rose, was also named in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E9 Bridle Gossip|"Bridle Gossip"]]. This makes her the first background pony to be named in multiple episodes.
** When Pinkie talks to Twilight in the library, Rainbow Dash is present, [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E16 Read It and Weep|reading a]] [[Just for Fun/Daring Do/Just For Fun|Daring Do book.]]
*** Notably, the picture is reminiscent of "...Griffin's Goblet," though the title is unclear.
** Manehattan is mentioned again, as is Fillydelphia.
** In the "Smile Song", depressed!Pinkie has a [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E25 Party of One|shadow over her coat]].
** Rarity's new toupee for Cranky was clearly inspired by [[Fan Nickname|Steven Magnet]], the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E2 Elements of Harmony|effeminate sea serpent]].
** Pinkie wishing [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E9 Bridle Gossip|Zecora]] a Happy Day After Her Birthday which just shows how much [[Character Development|the two's relationship has improved]].
** We see the full extent of Pinkie's lip exercises, a few episodes after they were teased in "The Last Roundup."
* [[Cool Big Sis]]: Pinkie is this to all the colts and fillies of Ponyville.
Line 145:
* [[Noodle Incident]]: As mentioned earlier, it's apparently not the first time Pinkie put cake batter in the cannons and confetti in the oven.
* [[No Sense of Personal Space]]: Pinkie Pie on multiple occasions with Cranky. Although it's justified in that Pinkie Pie considers him her friend, much to Cranky's dismay.
* [[The Other Darrin]]: Rose suddenly sounds much older than in her [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic/Recap/S1 E4 Applebuck Season|previous]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S1 E9 Bridle Gossip|speaking]] [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)/Recap/S2 E6 The Cutie Pox|roles]]. It seems that even if a background pony has a consistent name, they still won't necessarily have a consistent voice.
* [[Overly Long Gag]]: When Pinkie tries to convince Cranky to accept her apology, she says she's really really really really really really really really (etc.) sorry.
* [[Photographic Memory]]: Pinkie can remember ''every'' detail she's ever seen or heard about her friends, no matter how small or obscure.
