Out of all the cliches, this has to be the most blatant one. It's so specific yet so prominent.

Transformers RID, Spongebob, MLP FIM and Phineas and Ferb all have done this in some way shape and form.

I said in a good way. They all did it with no variation. Except Spongebob

>>80713758
Ponyfag detected. I know precisely the episode you're thinking of and I've only ever see it happen there.

Or Hey Arnold once.

Doesn't saying that mean you're outing yourself as a ponyfag, too?

>>80723287
Yes.

It would be interesting if a show was doing this trope and everything went horribly wrong. The character that was supposed to gets saved becomes a cripple or something and everyone hates the character who was going to "save" him.
