5 Fun Facts from S1 E5 "Griffon The Brush-Off", courtesy of TV Tropes:

Anthropomorphic Zig-Zag: While the show regularly fluctuates with this, this episode has one of the very few instances where a pony is shown running on their hind legs (Applejack, who is throwing apples at the two pranksters with her front legs).

Bait and Switch: Played with in regards to the plot of the episode itself. When Pinkie and Rainbow go on a pranking spree, the episode seems to be setting up for an Aesop on taking pranks too far (a popular one for these sorts of edutainment shows), only for the girls to show that they've already learned this lesson by realizing that Fluttershy is too sensitive to prank. Then it briefly seems to be setting up a different one about Pinkie learning that you can't constantly seek to be the center of your friend's attention, when she has other friends who deserve some attention as well (Twilight calld Pinkie out on this a little), only for that to be avoided as well by the revelation that Gilda really is a jerk. The final Aesop is real friends don't treat your other friends like dirt.

Carnivore Confusion: In classical lore, griffons (or whichever of the many spellings one favors) traditionally ate horses. There's a hint that Gilda's omnivorous but she sticks to standard pony fare while in Ponyville (about the only considerate thing she does).

Shout-Out: Pinkie Pie's calm determination to follow a fleeing Rainbow Dash all over the place, her knack for showing up wherever Dash ends up, and especially her simple bouncing gait, all add up to an homage of every Pepe Le Pew cartoon ever.

Totally Radical: After Gilda storms out from the party, one of the guests murmuring in the background says simply "Word".

Respect is an important part of friendship that must work both ways.

Sadly some Pegasus Ponies that wear Pink Bows on their head don't realise this.
