The Impractical Joker (G1.5 TV episode, August 7^th 1992, 11 minutes)

Summary: The girls decide to teach Patches a lesson in response to all her practical jokes.

Cup of flour, two tablespoons of sugar.... That's a weird ratio for a pie crust. One of my hobbies is baking, and for normal sized pie it's more like 2 1/2 cups of flour to one teaspoon of sugar. There's no flour in the lemon filling or meringue.

Interesting tower. It looks a lot like the watchtower in Desert View next to the Grand Canyon. It was built as a replica of some of the structures left by the Ancient Pueblo tribe. I wonder what it's doing here? I'll have to keep an eye out for other indications of the terrain around this area. Maybe Ponyland is supposed to be the pony equivalent of Arizona in this setting.

Finally, a pony pun. Bright Eyes is talking about van der Waals' force, which they've renamed van der Shires' force for the horsie pun. (Shire is a breed of draft horse often confused with Clydesdales. They've very similar in looks, but on average Shires are bigger.)

Burger and Cokes. I'm told Texas and many of the South Eastern states call any soda 'coke'. According to a survey I just looked up, that includes New Mexico, so Ponyland is looking more and more like Arizona/New Mexico.

That took a lot of effort. Cardboard doesn't 'bonk' like that.

And no lesson is learned.
